New York’s Corrupt-practice law

act requires every candidate to give

person who has received money from
him, "the specific nature ‘Of each iten

by its contempt for the law. the low

Sennte Bill Providing for a “’orld‘s Fair
in New York City in 1901.
Albany,‘Feb. 4.——=Mr. McNulty intro-
duced a bill in the Senate yesterday
providing for an exhibition to be held
in New York'city in 1901. Commission-
soon as practicable after the passage
of the bill and draw up a plan contem-
plating an exhibition ofhthe arts, Scl-
enres, products of land and sea, which
shall be of such magnitude as to invite
exhibitors from all parts of the world.
The. Municipal Assembly of New York
may authorize the use and occupancy
of any public park in the city by the
coml'nission for the purpose of erect-
ing suitable buildings in which to dis—
play the exhibts.
The expense incident to the exhibition
shall be provided for by the Comptrol—
ler of the city, who shall issue munici-
pal stock to an amount not exceeding
$2,000,000, and by the issuance by the
I-Ommission of‘serip certificates in such
denmninz‘ltiens as it may decide upon,
such scrip to be payable out of the
receipts derived from the exhibition a:—
tcr all expenses shall have been paid.
The scrip shall be issued in an
amount not exceeding $5,000,000. and
shall bear interest at the rate of 4 per
ce:1t.. and shall be sold at no less than
par. ,
Fenator McNulty says hebelieves that
such an exhibition would greatly bene-
fit the State atlarge and more than
pay for itself in gate receipts and priv-
ilCC'es.

directed by the War Depatment to
send an exploring expedition over the

tain whether a. route wholly within

for use in winter and summer for mail
and stores or mail alone. leading to a

To Gen. Merriam is left the selecting;
of officers and men to compose the ex-
pedition. The Indians in the coun--
try through which the expedition will
pass are aggressve, arid an attempt to
conciliate them will be made.
The War Department wants the
Klondike relief. and the Copper River
exploring parties to meet so that the
relief party may afford some help to

vention of Philadelphia, of ex-Postmas-
ter-General Wanamaker for the Gov-
ernorship. Senator Penrose, who is one .
of the leading Quay men at the Capitol
at the present time, says the action ls
not serious, but that it is a part of a
movement to encompass the defeat of
the Senator for re-election. Senator
Parsons does not believe the scheme to
defeat Quay will be successful, and he
predicts that in the event the Legisla- .
ture remains Republican, and of this
he hasno doubt, Senator Quay will be
his own successor when the time comes
to choose a. United States Senator.

USED A FRAUDULENT SEAL
Dr. :‘umos Woodrufl‘, of Indiana, Confesses
That He Has Forged Many Signatures
lo Pension AfiidavltsuAn Extraordinary
Series of Frauds.
Washington. Feb. 4.—An extraordi-
'lary series of frauds has been brought
to the notice of the Pension Office in
the case of Dr. Amos C. Woodruff of
Oakland City, Ind. Woodruff is at
present held under $3,500 bonds to ap-
pear_ before the Grand Jury at Evans-
ville. He confesses that he has forged
many signatures to pension aflidav1ts
and that he has used a fraudulent seal
for four years.
It is eistimated by the Pension Office
officers that be forged more than 200
Papers, representing as many different
pension cases now on file in the Office.
The particular charge on which VVood-
ruff is held for the Grand Jury is that
of having forged papers in the claim of
Eliza S. Skelton, of Oakland City,.wid—
ow of Robert Skelton. of Company D.
First Indiana Cavalry.
W'oodruff has been suspected by the
Pension Bureau officers in Washington
for some time, despite his high standing
among hs townspeople in Indiana. A
special examiner of the Bureau was re-
cently detailed to investigate a suspi-
cious case with which Woodruff [was
connected, and it was discovered that
Woodruff’s practice was to send his cli—
ents to the Rev. W. W. Richardson, a
Methodist preacher and notary public,
to have their pension affidavits execut—
ed. The seal of this notary, judging
from the fact that his name was indis-
tinct on the vouchers, was believed to
have been tampered with. '
The clergyman was absent from Oak-
land City at one time, and it was ap-
parent that several papers had been
forged with his name and seal by Dr.
VVoodruff. Papers were filed in the
ease of Mrs. Skelton’s child and some
false statements were made in connec—
tion with the date of birth and other
matters. Seven of the papers exam-
ined were considered to be forgeries.
A short time ago Commissioner Ev-
ans sent George C. Stewart, an expert
of the Bureau in criminal cases, to in-
vestigate the doings of Woodruff.
Woodruff was arrested and had a. pre-
liminary hearing before United States
Commissioner Wartman at Evansville
last Friday. ,
Mr. Stewart was directed to act as
prosecuting attOrney, and he made such
a remarkable statement in regard to
what the Government expected to
prove that the accused man broke
down and confessed that he had altered
the seal a year before and that he had
forged the notary’s name to a large
number of papers. ‘
He said that he had practiced writ-
ing the notary’s Signature so longr that
he could not himself tell the genuine
from the forged. , He confessed also
to having; forged the name of his law
partner. '
