BRIBERY INQUIRY BY
 NEW YORK SENATE
Witness SWearS He Paid S1, ,OOO
 to Senator LI!iS.

The New York state senate met on l Tuesday in committee of the whole to investigate the charge made by Sena- tor Benn Conger that he saw $1.O00 paid to Senator Jotham r. Aids in 1901 at the state capitol. the money being q bribe demanded hy Aids for not pressing bill hostile to bridge building interests.
 Hiram c. Moe, who was private sec retary of Frank COnger, the active member of the Conger family in the bridge business and q brother of Sen ator COnger, testified that he paid the $1,000 to Aids.
 Moe said that he left GrotOn on April 9. 1901, and reached Albany that night with $6500 in currency, which was given to him by Frank COnger. At the direction of Senator Bcnn Conger, he swears. $4,OO0 of this money was placed in one envelope and sealed, and the name of the assembly, man who was to get it was written on the back by Moe, who then placed $1,000 in q second envelope and sealed it and S1, ,00O in a third envelope, which also was sealed
 1 The names of the two assemblymen who were to get the $1,000 were writ ten by Moe on the back of the respec- tive envelopes at the dictation of Sen atOr Conger. Moe SwOre that these sealed envelopes were handed by him to the three assemblymen for whom they were intended and that Senator Aids got one of the envelopes contain ing 1,000.
 Who got the other two envelopes was not divulged, and Conger's attor- neys stated that they would not make known their names unless the senate requested it or counsel for Aids in- sisted upon it.
 Moe declared that Senator COnger introduced him to the man to whom he gave the $4,OOO envelope and also introduced him to Senator Aids, but that Senator Conger did not see him hand the $1,000 in the envelope to the i third asscmblyman.
 | Noes story of how SGO00 was fixed up in Conger's apartments was graph ic. He carried the money in the en- velOpes in his pocket to the capitol. Meeting Aids in the capitol Senator COnger is alleged to have said to Moe:
 ''This is Assemblyman Aids com ing now" and Moe and COnger ap- preached the then assemblyman. 1 "Jo, this is the representative of my brother Frank" Senator Conger l is alleged to have said, and Moe claims | he then said to Aids: i MT. Aids, Mir. Conger told me to give you this amount" handing Sena- i tor Aids the envelope. According to Noes story, before ! Aids put the envelope in his pocket he ] felt it and said:
 "I guess it's all right-at least 1t i feels so.'
 James w. Osborne, counsel for Con- l ger, asked Moe if he was sure the as semblyman he gave the envelop@ to containing the $1,000 in April, 1901, was the present respondent, Senator Aids.
 "Yes, Pm sure it's the same Sena- tor Allds," replied MT. Moe.
 "And your certain he is the man you handed the envelope to containing the l $1,O00?" asked Mir. Osborne.
 "I am sure," answered Moe.

ROStand'S Barnyard Play His
 Greatest Success.

Edmond Rostand's long awaited barnyard play "Chauteclcr" was pro duced at the Porte St. Martin thealer, Paris, on Sunday night in the pres ence of q remarkable audience, com prising the elite of the literary, nrtis- tic and dramatic world and proved an artistic success of the first magnitude, the exquisite verse being up to the finest traditions of Rostund's poetic genius. The critics say that the bril- liancy of the verse surpasses even "Cyrano de Bergerac." All Paris Is wild over 1t. The piece is wonderfully staged and the plot thrilling. There are no human characters, the principal roles being n barnyard rooster, hens, pigeons, q blackbrd, a guinea hen, rabbits and a pheasant.
