Saw Bribery Money Delivered, Aids
Receiving $1,000 for Defeating Bill,
Which Bridge Combination 0p-
posed in New York Assembly.

Albany, n. Y, Feb 11.-Skillful ma
nuvring by Senator Benn Conger's at
torneys sent the members of the State
Senate home for the week end recess
this afternoon with the personal testi-
mony of Senator lothian P Aids ac-
cuser ringing in their ears Conger 6
affidavit charging Aids with taking a
$1,000 bride from the bridge building
combination was read before the SEN
ate when it began it's Investigation
last Tuesday as a committee of the
whole, but it's cold legal phrases could
not carry the delight of Conger's accu-
sations voiced on the witness stand to-
day. Conger not only confirmed the
story of Hiram G. Moe, the Groton
bank cashier and church deacon, but
he went back of Noes story and relat-
ed the incidents preceding the actual
delivery Of the alleged bride. He testi-
fled that Aids said to him: you better
get your men up here and see the rules
committee (of which Aids was mem
ber) cor that bill will come OUT
He recited how Aids bargained with
the witness brother, Frank Conger. the
vice president of the Bridge Company
until Aids finally consented to protect
the bridge interests for $1,000.
Then slowly enough to allow the
force of his words to sink home, he
narrated the incidents he says accom-
panied the actual transfer of the mon
ey.
The investigation today went one
step further toward Identifying the
other men charged by Conger and Moe
with having shared with Aids the
$4,000 sent from Groton to Albany by
Frank Conger on behalf of the Amer
lean Bridge Co. Conger asserted that
neither of these men was a member of
the Legislature at the present time.
Ccngcr's story today went back to
the session of 1901, when both he and
Aids We're in the Assembly. He said:
L net MIR. Aids, think, in the cor
ridor that leads into the Chamber out
at that side, as 1 recall it, He said to
me: 'Renn, you think you have got
vour bridge bill bottled up in your in
ternal affairs committee, but don't for
get my boy, the rules committee takes
hold pretty soon. | understand that
there is something doing on that bill
on the floor. You better get your
American Bridge Co. men here and see
the r;lles committee, or that bill will
come out l said to Mr.. Aids: L am
not much interested in that. but
would communicate with my brother,

Bridge Co, ard he might see YOU Mr.,
Aids said, All right
"A few days later in substance l told
Mr., Aids ! had seen my brother; he
would be in Albany on a certain night
at my apartments. My brother was
there. They had a conversation.
Mr. Aids said to my brother: This
bridge bill is one of the good things
in this session. We fellows up here
have to have Some extra money for our
expenses.
My brother said: I don't want this
bill to pass; it will hurt the business
badly. I have just become interested

SOUTH POLE.

Punta Arenas, Chile, Feb. 11.-The
French Antarctic expedition steamer
Pourouoi Pas with DR.. Jean M. Char
cot, head OF the expedition on board
has arrived here. The Frenchmen did
not reach the South pole.
All the members of the crew are well,
but during the voyage there were some
cases of scurvy The Pourquoi Pas will
remain here a fortnight.
The expedition under DR.. Charcot
was fitted out in France in the sum-
mer of 1908 and sailed from Punta
Arenas Dec. II of the same year. Its
purpose was to make scientific obser-
vations in the South Polar region,
particularly in the almost unknown
Alexandra land and to obtain speci-
mems of rare fossils. The South pole
was not the objective of the explorers.
DR.. Charcot has frequently said that
this task should be reserved for the
Scott and Shackleton. AS
told in these dispatches Thursday the
Pas was sighted recently at
anchor in the Strait of Magellan. 1t
had not been expected that the expedi-
ton would return to civilization until
next month.

heard. in which debate and deliberaton
will enlishten the legislators. and in which
public opinion will be crystalized into law.
FOR many years the tendency in Ameri-
can politics has been to concentrate the
real power of legislative bodies in the
hands of few men. and this tendency
has been more manifest in the houses
OF the Federal Congress than elsewhere,
especially since the Reed rules made the
Speaker OF the House Of Representatives
the practical dictator of the course Of leg
islation. Cannonism is no more and no
less than perfectly natural evolution Of
the Republican theory Of government, and
the contest which ragged around the pres
ent Speaker was sure to come sooner or
later, no matter who happened at the
moment to preside over the House. Can
nonism," therefore, happens to be the con-
venient name by which we designate the
final elimination Of political tyranny for
which the Republican party has always
stood and for the restoration of which 1t
will wage a desperate battle at the next
election.
1t is not meant by this to disparage the
courage and the skill Of the insurgent Re-
publicans, nor the splendid discipline Of
the Democrats; but in any just estimate
OF the contest it must not be forgotten that
the insurgents were largely influenced by
personal feeling, and that they are now
prepared to vote for those measures which
are intended to clinch the power of their
party. and which are chiefly responsible
for the conditions which they lately over
threw.
Undoubtedly, the country welcomes the
downfall Of the one-man power as it has
heretofore existed, but the country must
understand that an enduring reform de-
ponds upon the votes of the citizens them
selves Cannonism is not driven out of the
Republican party by the overthrow of the
man Joe Cannon. The vast majority of
the Republican members of Congress and
OF Republican politicians everywhere are
as firmly welded to Cannonism as ever
they were. and the return Of that majority
to the next House would be taken as
license to repeat the outrage by which the
rights and the welfare of the people have
been subordinated to the greed of favored
interests.
This event makes the approaching cam
paien very clear and hopeful one for the
Democratic party. Upon the issue of Can
nonism and what it symbolizes and the
substantial revision downward of the tariff
there is no division in the party. And
these two issues embody so much that is
fundamental, so much that affects every
man in his daily life and in his relations
to government. that il would be political
crime to befog them by minor sugges-
ton. Since 1874, the Democratic party
has always won when ii stood squarely
upon its creed. That creed is essentially
embodied in opposition to Cannonism and
special privilege. Upon that issue. we be-
lieve, 1t can wage a winning contest

A BLOW TO REPUBLICANS

The national political weather cock turned
Democratic-ward in Massachusetts, Tues
day last, when the Old Colony section, one
of the Republican strongholds of the State,
placed Eugene N. Foss. of Boston, one of
the countrys leading exponent Of TeC.-
procity with Canada. in the congressional
seat Of the late William C. Lowering Mr..

many cities are harassed every spring by
the rising Of the waters. Rural districts
may have no fire departments to protect
their homes when fire breaks out but the
loss of life and property from country fires
is as nothing compared with the destruc-
ton that follows in the wake of a great
confiaeration in the city. From the stand
point of health and personal security, the
best regulated city must yield the palm to
the country. The city will continue to be
the center Of trade and commerce. but the
tide is already on carrying people away
from the city for their residence. May it
not be that the city of the future will, be
largely deserted except during the hoprs.of
