EXPOSES DARING
BRIBERY OF TWO
STATE SENATOR'S
DETAILS OF GRAFT STARTLE
NEW YORK
LEGISLATION BOUGHT AND SOLD
WITHOUT TROUBLE
Climax of Investigation at Albany
Comes with Testimony of Con-
ger-Confirms Charges
of Moe
rAssociated Press1

A LBANY, N. Y, Feb. 1.--Senator
II Ben Conger told the senate in
detail today how Senator Jotham
p. Aids demanded a $1,000 bribe nine
years ago when they both were men,
bers of the assembly and how Aids
got it.
The climax of the senate investiga-
tion of the charges Conger filed several
weeks ago against his colleague came
in half an hour of the time set for ad-
journment. Conger slowly laid before
the senators a story of legislative cor
ruption which even the previous rev.
elations of the investigations failed to
parallel.
His story agreed in every particular
with that of Hiram G. Moe. He told
how he and Moe delivered $4,000 to
three legislators to protect the bridge
interests. Then he fixed his eyes on
Aids and concluded as follows:
And Mr.. Aids came out and passed
me, saying: guess it's all right,
Conger; it feels good
He added that none of the persons
involved in the transaction other than
Mr. Aids are members of the legisla-
ture now.
In 1901, said Senator Conger, he was
a merchant in Groton in the firm of
Jay Conger & Co. At that time he
was not active in the bridge company,
holding only $1,000 stock in the concern.
His brothers, however, were active in
the business.
Served on Committee
He was then, he said, member of
the assembly and on the committee on
internal affairs. He had several con-
yersations that year with Aids, who
x,r4 III
regarding high water legislation in the
course of which, testified the witness,
Aids said:
"Ben, you think you have got the
bridge bill bottled up in the internal
affairs committee. Don't forget the
rules committee takes hold soon. l
understand there's something doing on
that. You had better get the Ameri-
can Bridge people up here and see the
rules committee"
Some days later, Conger continued,
Aids told his (Congers) brother in
the witness apartments that the
bridge bill was lone of the good
things" adding, I'VE fellows up here
have to have some expense money"
1t was then that Aids said he would
do what he could as a member of the
rules committee to kill the bill in re-
turn for $1,000.
Later. said Conger he met Moe at
his house in Albany. Moe, he said,
placed $500 cash in three packages of
$4,000. $500 and $1,000 each, directing
the packets as witness directed. with
the exception of Aids no names of
those alleged to have received money
were allowed to be given by the Wit
ness).
Conger said he then went to the cap
itol with Moe, who gave the envelope
containing the $4,000 TO a certain man,
after which the witness introduced
him to Aids. Those two went into a
ROOM through the door of which Con-
ger heard Moe say:
"Mr. Frank Conger told me to hand
this to you"
When Aids came out he made the
remark about it being "all right"

PLACES BAN ON GIFTS
TO SCHOOL GRADUATES
State Superintendent Hyatt Declares
Public Offerings Not Humane
or Patriotic in Spirit

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 11.-Rules re-
leasing children from night study and
abolishing the custom of allowing gifts
to be publicly presented graduates
when receiving diplomas were promul-
gated yesterday by State Superinten-
dent of Schools Edward Hyatt.
Mr.. Hyatt, in explanation, says that
all study from books can, as a rule, be
secured by children during school
hours.
Concerning gifts to graduates, he
said: Hell hath no torment like the
feelings of a sensitive child who is
publicly slighted before his mates
whose clothes are poorer, whose flow
ers are cheaper. 1t is regarded as hui
mane and patriotic for high school Of
ficials to do all they can to obscure the
pecuniary inequalities of their stu
dents.''

HOME FOR WOMEN
PLANNEDBYLEW|S
Promoter of University City
League Describes the Pro-
posed Retreat.
WILL ADMIT SOME MEN
INDECENT HUSBANDS OF MEM
BEERS MAY BE CARED FOR.

E G. Lewis. the founder and organ
izer of the American Woman's League,
gives a pleasing description OF the pro-
posed retreat or home which viii be
built in a beautiful location on a hill
overlooking University City and the
great institutions of the American
Woman's League near St. Louis. Am
pie grounds have been selected and VIII
be Handicapped and planted with shrubs
and trees, severed and otherwise pre-
pared for the erection Of the most per-
fectly appointed and beautifully de-
signed home and oTp1anage in exist
ence.
The plan Of the retreat is a large
group of magnificent buildings, ar
ranged around a beautiful park laid
out in driveways, walks and otherwise
beautif1ed. The structures are to be
fireproof of most modern construction,
containing all the conveniences and
comforts that can be devised. The aim
TO be sought is that of a home en-
bodying every comfort, recreatio and
employment possible-maintained as
though its inmates were paying guests
as in reality they will be. Doubtless
many women Of culture and refinement
in their latter days, through loss of rel
atives and friends, woulS prefer such a
home. rather than the loneliness and a
feeling Of being burden TO others And
why should they not? 1t is theirs, a
home they have helped to create. Resi-
dence there viii be a right, not priv
ilege.
Mr.. Lewis says that every means viii
be sought to make the life of the re-
treat cheerful and comfortable for the
resident members of the league. There
is no member, no matter how rich or
poor. but at some future day may be
devOutly thankful, indeed, that she has
such a home.
Mr.. Lewis AYERS that the retreat
would form the inner and most sacred
chapter of the leagUe-its resident
members would receive the thirty-third
degree Of leagUeship. The idea in the
feature is not one Of charity. but a
practical means by which any woman,
in whatsoever station of life, may insure
herself against misfortune should she,
through sickness, age or loss of prop
erty. be unable to maintain herself.
Possibly a very small proportion of
