New ORR state Lawmakers neafn
WSrls n Earnest.
ALBANY, n. y, Jan. A.-Tonight
the New York state Legislature will
gin In earnest tile work Of the session
Of 1907.
Both houses have organized by the
election Of Senator John Raines as
president pro tenn. of the senate and
Assemblyman James w. Wadsworth,
Jr., of Livingston county as speaker Of
the assembly, The committees have
been appointed and all hands are
ready for the work of legislation. Near
~ twice as many bills have been in
troduced as in the same length of time
a year ago.
The only measure thus far seriously
considered is that appropriating a to-
tai of $4,000 to supply the deficiency
in the funds Of the attorney generals
department.
The Introduction of bills embodying
the ideas of Governor Hughes regard
ing the merging in one commission of
the functions of the railroad commits
sion and the commission of gas and
electricity is expected.
The recount of the ballots cast at the
mayoralty election of 1905 in New
York city, recommended by the gov
ernor, is provided for In several differ
ent waysaby bills already introduced.
That of Assemblyman Prentice, limited
in its operation to that election only, is
regarded as the one to be pressed to
passage. 1t will be introduced in the
senate by Senator Page. Its fate may
depend In some measure upon the
progress Of the litigation in the courts
instituted by Attorney General jack
son against Mayor Mcclellan and the
quo warranto proceedings sought to be
brought in his own behalf by Mayor
McClellan's opponent, William Ran
dolph Hearst.
Governor Hughes is expected to send
his appointments to the senate today.
He declined to discuss Herbert Par
sons visit, but gossip here says that
he asked the governor to appoint Nc

Foreign Mission Board Asks Help
for KOngO -LeOpOld'S Rule
Means Its Ruin.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. IA. = At a
conference Of the foreign missions
boards of the United States and Cana
da assembled here it was unanimous
ly agreed to forward to President
Roosevelt, to the United States senate
and to King Edward an appeal ON be-
half of the stricken people of the kon-
go Free State as follows:
1.-The conference of the foreign mis-
sions boards of the United States and
the Dominion of Canada would most
respectfully and earnestly bring to you
an appeal on behalf of the stricken
people of the Kongo State. We dc
this in the name of forty missionary
organizations whose work IL prosecut.
ed in all sections of the world. and we
are persuaded that the petition inter.
prets faithfully the sentiment Of their
constituency Of upward OF 2~0,000,O0O
Christian men and women. We are
not forgetful that recognition has been
given by both governments to interna-
tional duty in relation to this unhappy
people. Fo1qaf
ut is a source OF keen satisfaction
to us that governments are united
in leadership in a work so closely af-
fecting international honor, But we
are reminded by the recurrence of our
annual meeting that weeks and months
are passing by while the heavy burden
of wrong continues to rest with crush
ing weight upon the Kongo people,
and we recognize with profound regret
that the first definite step toward just
international action has not yet been
taken.
I'VE speak with deep conviction con-
corning this issue, because we are in
timately associated with many resi-
dents of the Kongo State, by whom
the conditions to which we refer have
been disclosed.
Eve would earnestly urge that no de-
vice of the ruler of the Kongo State,
whether of wholesale aspersion of no
tive or of evasion of accountability
through promotion of transfer of terri
tory to II government of which he Is
himself the head, shall be allowed to
cloud the issue of International respon-
sibility for immediate ascertainment
of conditions and correction of wrongs.
"In the name of humanity, of inter
national Justice, of regard for the
primal rights of man, we would ask
that you will use the full power re
posed in governments by the supreme
ruler in the interest of an immediate
discharge by the nations of their re-
sponsibility Of guardianship over the
remnant of the humble people who a
generation ago, without choice of their
own, were brought out of their lsola-
ton into relations with the world of
men and States"

IS SHOT DOWN
Two Burglars at MamarOn6Ok
Wound Then Aid Victims Aged
Official Fatally Injured.

MAMARONECK, N. Y, Jan. IA
burglar shot Patrick Connolly and
Clarence Hilleck, his son-in-law, at an
early hour in the Connolly home here.
Mr.. Connolly, who is highway COM
missioner of Mamaroneck and sixty
years old, is in a critical condition. He
was fred al twice, and one of the bull
let's went through his lungs. Hilleck
is only slightly injured. The bullet
which struck him was turned from a
vital spot by a rib.
1t was about l o'clock when Mr.. Con-
nelly was aroused by footsteps on the
veranda. He called Hilleck, and,
dressing hurriedly, the two men ran
downstairs from their bedrooms. Hill
leck reached the vernnda before his
father-in-law and clinched with one of
the two men, who were prying at a
window fastening.
Hilleck was being backed " the
veranda railing when Mr.. Connolly
reached his side and attacked his son
in-law's antagonist. Instantly the bur-
glars companion, a tall, slender man,
opened fire on Mr.. Connolly with a re-
volver. Connolly turrol upon the
shooter and attempted L. grGpple with
him. The burglar fired two shots, one
of which went through the commission
er's lungs and the other through his
arm.
ooh, my God, I'm done forI' ex-
claimed the wounded man as he drop
ped.
Hilleck had been overcome by this
time, and both burglars now turned
TO Mr.. Connelly's aid. They picked
him up and had the daring to carry
him inside the house.
Mrs. Hilleck had been aroused and
nearly ran into the burglars as they
bore her father through the door.
is that you. Clarence?' she cried,
thinking that her husband must be one
of the men.
Eyes, dearest, 1t is l." said the fell
low who had done the shooting.
Before the burglar had ceased speak
ing Mrs. Hilleck discovered the decep-
ton and grabbed the man. He knock
ed her down, but as she fell she pulled
out part of a mustache and held on to
his hat, a derby, which contained the
label of a Cincinnati manufacturer.
Police Sergeant Cody of New Ro-
chelle has arrested Il suspect in the
case who was found wandering around
near the trolley station without a hat.
He said he was Michael Owens of Rye.
