RECEIVED THIRD
ENVELOPE
Conqer Names Last OF Trio in
Bribery Deal
BRIDGE MEN REvOLTED
Met at Syracuse and Refused to Pay
$4,000 to Stop UnfaVorable
Legislation

Albany, Feb. ISIS. Fred Nixon,
was the third name that Senator
Benn Congor says Hiram 6. Moe
wrote on one OF the envelopes in
which they carried $4,000 to the state
capitol nine years ago to buy protec-
ton for the bridge companies. The
name of the former speaker of the
Assembly announced yesterday by
Congor on the stand completes the
trio. Speaker NiXons envelope ac-
cording to Conger, like Senator 10Th
am p Aids, held $1,000. The remain
der of the fund, $4,000 was in the en-
velope given to NixOn's lieutenant,
Senator Jean Larue Burnett.
According to Conger from 1901 to
1905 systematic campaign was con
Quoted at Albany against the treas
ury of the bridge companies. For
three years the companies paid trib-
ute. In 1905 notice came from AL
banS that it would be to their inter
ests to forward to the capitol SlO,-
600 Then the men who controlled
the bridge companies met in SYRIA
cuse and agreed not to pay AS Con
ger expressed it I'VE decided we
would not be blackmailed any long
err"
During the four preceding years
measures hostile to the bridge inter
ests had been introduced regularly,
but they always failed to pass. But
in 1905 the legislature passed high
way act whicg placed on the statute
books a provision against which the
bridge combination had long contend
ed. 1t forced town boards to get per
mission by a popular vote before
they could erect new bridge that
cost as much as $500. AS a direct
result Of this law sixty per cent Of
the bridge companies were forced out
of business in New York state.
Later Aids was chairman of tho
legislative committee that drafted
the present highway law, which went
into effect in 1909, and is supposed
to be even more unacceptable to the
bridge companies than the statute Of
1905.
Conger declared definitely that
Burnett's name was on the envelope
that held the $4,000 He said that he
watched Moe deliver this package Of
money to Burnett but did not witness
the transfer of money from Moe to
Nixon. Il took Moe to the speakers
room said Conger and introduced
aim to Nixon; then went outside and
closed the door"

EXTEND TROLLEY
LINES OUTSIDE
MASSACHUSETTS
Future Policy of New Haven
Toward Electric Roads
STATEMENT BY PRES. MELLEN
Hopes to Thus Furnish an Example
from Which Bay State May
Acquire knowledge

Speaking at dinner of the Boston
Boot and Shoe club in the Hotel Son.
erset in Boston Wednesday night
President Charles S. Melen of the
New Haven R. R. had this to say in
answer to the question:
What is the policy of the road with
reference to the electric street rail
ways?
The policy of the road with refer
ence to electric street railways will
be to let them severely alone within
the commonwealth of Massachusetts
and elsewhere to promote them as
adjuncts and feeders to the railway
system, supplying them where the
expense of building steam railways
would be prohibitory, opening up out
lying districts and creating thereby
new resorts for the attraction of sum-
mer tourists supplementing with
them the activities of the steam lines.
The policy of the company will be
to so handle the electric street rail
ways in other jurisdictions than that
of the commonwealth of Massachu-
sets that perhaps the object lesson
elsewhere will work change in the
sentiment and policy of the common
wealth. trust it is not beyond the
limits of probability that Massachu-
sets may yet learn something from
what is transpiring elsewhere.
