HOUSE-CLEANING
At ALBANY SAYS
GOV. HUGHES
SearchIight on Forest, Fish
and Game Commission
MORE TROUBLE FOR ALLDS
Charges That He Profited UnduIy in
Sale of State Forest
Lands

Albany, Feb 17.-There were two
developments of startling interest
yesterday in connection with the
Aids bribery investigation now in
progress before the Senate and the
plans for a more extensive house
cleaning which are being formulated
at the capitol.
Gov. Hughes made formal an
nouncement from the Executive
Chamber that he had appointed Rog-
er p Clark, his legal advisor and H.
Leroy Austin, who has had wide ex-
perience in investigating county and
municipal accounts for the State
Controller, as Commissioners to rep
resent him in a thorough investiga-
tion of the management and affairs
of the Forest, Fish and Game Com
mission and the purchase OF forest
lands The investigation is prompt
ed by the charges that Senator Aids
had profitted unduly and to the det-
riment of the State in connection
with the public purchase of Adiron-
dack lands.
The other development came at the
hearing itself. Senator Conger, who
lodged the bribery charges against
Senator Aids, in the course OF cross
examination, said that the name of
Jean La Rue Burnett who was a
member of the 1901 Assembly, APP
peared on one of the two envelopes,
which, according to the story told by
Mr.. Conger, contained $4,000 of the
$4,000 corruption fund mentioned in
his charges, the other $1,G00 having
been placed in a third envelope for
Aids. Mr. Conger also dragged in
the name of Lewis Bedell who repre-
scented Orange County in the 1901 as
sembly, as that of man who had
taken active interest in the defeat of
the highway bills, which the Conger
bridge companies were trying so hard
TO kill
Mr.. Burnett died in 1907. He was
protege of the late Senator John
Raines, and represented his home
county of Ontario in the 1901 AS
sembly Lou" Bedell was regarded
as Odell's man in the Assembly,
where he served several terms.

NO PUBLICITY FOR
CORPORATIONS
BUSINESS
President Finds Way to Avoid
Feature of Law
NO MONEY FOR THE WORK
Statute in Relation to Employment in
District of Columbia Furnishes
Another LoophoIe

Washington, Feb l7.-President
Taft has pointed out a solution of the
difficulty over the enforcement of the
corporation tax, arising out of the
publicity feature of that law, which
in all probability let's the corpora
tons entirely out of their trouble.
The prospect that their business af-
fairs as reported to the Commission
er of Internal Revenue would become
the property of their commercial RI
walls through the provision of the law
making such returns public records
has been the source OF extreme
anxiety to very many corporations,
especially the smaller ones, who
feared that their larger competitors
would be able by this means to get
possession of trade secrets and
would use it to their detriment.
Now the President has pointed
out that when Congress, in enacting
the law, made an appropriation Of
100000 for its enforcement that pro
vision did not cover the expense in.
yolved in making public the returns
of the corporations. The Internal
Revenue and Treasury officials have
estimated that full compliance with
this feature of the law would require
them to set aside certain rooms and
employ a force of clerks so that the
corporation returns could be treated
Just as Wills and deeds ard other leg
al papers of record in public Offices
are handled
But there is law which prohibits
the employment of any persons by
the Government in the District or
Columbia except upon the specifiC
authorization and appropriation
therefor by Congress. And. inasmuch
as nothing was said about this in the
appropriation of 100000 carried for
the general enforcement Of the law
the Treasury officials find that they
have no means of complying with the
publicity feature of the law.

NOTE AND COMMENT
Over in Springfield, This State,
Amusements Run Riot.

over 5000 will be spent this week
for motion pictures, basket bah,
dances, etc, The industries are all
thriving and everything booming as
before the panic. Yet grocery men
tell us that many of their customers
have not paid up for the necessities
they got trusted for in 1908. And
there are many other towns in the
same situation. 1t is hard paying
for a dead boss"
Judging from the market reports
from Chicago. it looks as though the
pigs also will jump over the moon.
People will perish from high (cost)
Of living while they are waiting to
learn why living is so high. Why
not investigate the Investigators.

A TRIP IN
 OLD MEXICO. Resulting In the Purchase
 Of 1000 Cattle
 BY TWO TEMPE MEN
Shipment, of Part of Them Will Be Made Here Next Month-Others Will Be Sold Direct From the Range for Beef.

Fenton Jones and John Anderson re- turned yesterday morning from. Mex- co. where they have been for several weeks past. They made the trip espe- cially for the purpose of buying MeN- can cattle if they found anything that looked temping. The fact that while away they bought between them an even thousand head would lead one to think that they found exactly what they were looking for.
 They did not have to go very far across the line to find the right kind of stock and at no time while away were they over ninety miles from the American line. Speaking of the trip yesterday morning, MT. Jones said that it was a very pleasant one in every re- spect and aside from being a success in a business way was an enjoyable one in other respects. The weather was good, the country was more or less new to them and there was a great deal of interest to be seen. Consider able country in Mexico was covered by horseback where the railroads have not yet penetrated
 Mir. Jones closed deals for 300 head of 3-year-Old steers and also for 300 head of young stock, most of which may be classed as veal. He says that notwithstanding the fact that the cat tie are from Mexico, they are not what is generally thought of when the term Mexican cattle" is used-that is there is something to them beside horns. They compare quite favorably with American cattle for the breeders across the line are learning that it costs no more to raise a good grade of stock than it does a poor one and they are putting this knowledge to practical use MT Jones does not plan to ship any of this stock to the valley. The weather there this year has been good there has been plenty of rain and the ranges are in good shape. Cattle in that vicinity are consequently almost fat, and MT. Jones expects to dispose of all the stock he accumulated there last week right off the range as beef His stock will be shipped from Agua Prieta, just across the line from Douglas.
 MT. Anderson bought 400 head of steers, feeders, and expects to shiI all of them here to be fattened this winter. His stock will be shipped from Naco to NacoZari some time next month While the gentlemen did not care to say what the stock cost them they did say that the price was SC reasonable they were able to add to il the S4 per head duty and still have cattle at a figure sufficiently low tc leave a nice margin. Both were very much surprised upon reading in yesterday mornings Repub- lican of the burning of Naco the night before. only the afternoon before they had been in the little border town.

cal bank and that the commission firm was very greatly surprised to think that the growers had taken such a course to get their money. The local banking institution, when sending the sight drafts to the Chi cago bank, requested for the growers that a reply be sent as soon as the drafts were presented for payment. The reply from the Chicago bank came back that the sight drafts were unhonored but that the H. Woods company claimed they had mailed checks on the previous day to meet the amounts shown on the sight drafts. It is the general opinion among the growers that the checks are on the road but they are of the opinion that they shOuldl have been received by yesterdays mail. It be- ing their understanding that a check could come from Chicago nearly as soon as a sight draft could go from
 here to that place. At any rate the outlook is encouraging for the grow CTS.
