ALBANY. N. z. March 3.-A fiat de-
NAL OF Senator Benn Conger's charges
was made by Senator Aids today in
the legislative bribery investigation.
Martin w. Littleton. Aids chief coun-
sci. stopped his examination along
other lines and questioned his client
about the conversation Conger said he
had with Aids before the actual de-
livery OF the alleged $1,000 bride.
mo such conversation ever occurred"
declared Aids.
Littleton reviewed Conger's story that
Aids visited him at Conger's apart
ments here toward the close OF the sas-
sion Of 1901 and demanded $1,000 as
the price Of killing the Malby- Stevens
bill, which would have limited the
amount town boards could appropriate
for new bridges.
"Mr. Littleton," said Aids, impress
sively. in his deepest voice and with
uplifted finger, there are two lies
there: First, the conversation never
took place, and I never went to his
apartments"

DISTRICT PENSIONERS
TO GET PART PAYMENT
Fifty-Nine Per Cent for Police and
Sixty-Nine for Fire
Roll.

Police pensions today were marked up
from 10 cents on the dollar to 50 cents
and dsemen's pensions arose to 50 cents.
It was thought yesterday that the fund
was 50 low that only 40 per cent could
be paid to the $50 pensioners. but Audi
tor Tweedale made careful calculation
this morning, which he sent to the Com
missioners, giving the exact amounts on
hand.
The amount of the pay roll for the po-
lice pensioners for the month is 81 ,233. IT,
The amount which Louis Wilson, disburs-
ing officer, has to meet this pay roll is
S4.326.35. or 80 per cent OF the amount.
The money lacking amounts to 1905. 81
The pensioners on the firemen's roll
will be 10 cents per dollar better off, for
their roll amounts to only 1880 and
there Is 2.3Oo.S3 to meet it.
Auditor Tweedale has asked whether
he shall withhold these fractional pay
ments until the fund swells to an amount
sufficient to make an entire payment
Commissioner Rudolph has advised that
the pensioners be paid Immediately with
the money on hand, and that these pay
ments be regarded merely as part pay
ments, so that some time in the future
the pensioners may expect to get the
full amount due them on this particular
pay roll.

The Brotherhood Organized.

Just when the horizon seemed most
rosy the first cloud made its appearance,
and there was all kinds Of ruction at
526-27 Munsey building. Some folks were
thrown out of the rooms, and some who
remained within doors were much
mussed up. Straightway the Inventors
League backed out. found for itself a
separate meeting place, and the Brother
hood OF Inventors was born
DR.. William Harrison acted as Mr.
Bartletts agent in several Of the trans
actions in this city. so Mr.. Macfarren
said this morning. and when Mr.. Bartlett
left for the west DIR. Harrison was left
in charge OF the premises. which had
been furnished with Bartlett money. In
cidentally William p. Armstrong. the
president Of the Inventors League, was
not TO be admitted within the portals of
the home Of the Brotherhood Of In
ventors.
But weeks and months passed, and no
news of any sort could be gained of Mr.
Bartlett of Seattle. Sadder still, no
checks came from him TO pay the rent
and TO keep up the installments on the
furniture and the typewriter. Letters
written to Mr.. Bartlett In Seattle were
not returned as undelfvered, but they
secured no answers.
SO much of the furniture as had been
bought outright was seized yesterday for
the overdue rent. The Brotherhood Of In
ventors took such OF its possessions as
were in the rooms and moved them tenn
porarily to MIR. Macfarren's offices at 1903
New York avenue. Permanent quarters,
Mr.. Macfarren said, are to be secured in
the Builders Exchange on H street, and
there the Brotherhood Of Inventors will
be prepared to live up to its name dur
ing all future time. The executive commit
te Of the brotherhood includes DR.. Will
liam Harrison, 8 j. Macfarren, J. H.

RESULT OF RECENT SPLIT
Nothing Heard From President
Bartlett Since His Departure
for the Far West.

Trials and tribulations have again come
into the lives of the guild of inventors in
Washington. but the net result Of the
troubles may be that at least one OF the
local examinations which is devoted to
the task of assisting the man with the
idea over the hills and hollows of the
paths which leads to the patent ONCE
will attain the safe and solid ground
where it will be independent Of outside
assistance. The latest development in
the inventors fold came yesterday when
most OF the furniture in the two rooms
in the Munsey building, where the Broth
erhood OF Inventors had its headquarters,
was seized for unpaid rent. But the
Brotherhood OF Inventors, through 8. j.
Macfarren, one of the members OF its
executive committee, disclaims all re-
sponsibility for the rent OF the Munsey
building quarters.
According to Mr.. Macfarren's story, all
of the present-day difficulties are due
to the disappearance OF George W. Bart
lett Bartlett struck Washington some
few months ago and in his Sightseeing
rambles met several OF the leading lights
in the then Inventors League 1t was
bruited about that Mr.. Bartlett was
wealthy shipowner of Seattle, Wash,
and it was openly stated that he was
much enthused at the prospect which
opened before him in the National Cap
ita1 OF acting as the patron OF the down.
president of the Inventors League, and
TO suitably prepare that berth for the
day when he was to be elevated to Of
flee Mr.. Bartlett is said to have signed
the lease for year for rooms S26N in
the Munsey building and to have filled
the suite with the finest Of furniture,
some of II paid for in cash and the rest
to be paid for on the installment plan.

courage to go opposite the trend once
"Why Breed Sheep"

courage to go opposite the trend once
in a while.
'Why Breed Sheep"
j. r.. Warner Of Bloomfield likened
his sheep to government bond, off
which he could clip coupon every
year and still have the bond, in his
address on why Breed Sheep" Mr..
Warner said:
There are several reasons why l
breed sheep. First there is the profit,
for j am not financially able to keep
them for pleasure Second, ease of car
ing for them and the small expense Of
feeding. Third, receive two crops
each year, which lido not from any
other live stock. Fourth, they are a
greater benefit to land than other ami
mails
.gs"In regard to the first reason, there.
ia a, good profit in small flock Of
sheep. if your farm Is too small to
handle a large one, say from Is to so
head can from this many receive
500 to 5000 worth Of wool and on all
average from twenty to forty head of
lambs, which are worth from SO to IS,
or II they are full bloods they are
worth from IS to $40 at weaving time.
Therefore, twenty head would bring at
least 500, making 5000 in one year,
and an income that is mostly profit.
is that not like a government band,
when you can clip coupon every
spring and have the sheep left? If you
don't, want to increase your flock you
can receive another coupon for the
lambs in the fall The second reason
is the amount OF care they take. About
all you need is plenty Of pasture in
summer and small dry shed, hay and
a little grain in winter The third rea-
son have practically answered. The
fourth is that they are more beneficial
to the land than other stock. This. |.
think, we should consider; as our land
is increasing in value each year and
will continue to do so if we breed full
blood sheep
