Albany. y Y. Feb. 1S-The Senate's in
vestigation of the COnger bribery charges
was adjourned today with a question I'M
settled that may vitality affect the intro
duction of further evidence when ses-
siCns are resumed next Tuesday.
This question was whether Senator Ben
COnger can be forced to tell what he
knows about the final disposition Of the
S40UO that he says was given to Assem-
blyman Jean L. Burnett in 1901, as part
Of the alleged price OF immunity for the
bridge companies from strike legisla-

answer when he was told TO reveal the
names on the other two envelopes yester-
day and the day before COngeT'S counsel
today objected TO the effort to drag from
him anv more names

legislature confidently expects further
investigation of the legislative scandal.
The legislative bribery scandal, so far
as the bridge companies are concerned,
was definitely put up to the Republican
party today in the closing of Senator
COnger's cross examination. Conger made
it clear that the contribution he made to
the Republican campaign fund in 1902 was
for the purpose of buying protection for
ClaTed, the bridge companies made no
contribution to the Democratic state cam
paign fund.
COnger voiced a new charge against
Aids when he accused him Of trying to
hold up the bridge companies again in
1897 Wten the present highway law was
being drafted by the committee of which
Aids was chairman

Answers Disappointing.

COngeT'S answers were disappointing SO
far as further revelations were concerned.
The witness said his brother Frank gave
him instructions regarding the distribU-
ton of the 5000 into the three packages.
Senator Congar insisted that he knew
nothing about how the $1,000 was to be
divided.
The witness could not give details re-
garding the alleged demand for S10,00O
that came to the bridge companies from
Albany in 1865. All he could recall was
that such d demand was made.
Lewis E Carr asked COngeT why he
didn't announce in the assembly that an
attempt had been made to blackmail the
bridge companies.
I didn't think it would do any good, d"
he replied
Conger declared that be had mentioned
his charges against Aids to two sena-
tors just before the 'insurgents'' held
their meeting. He said he did not give
his information to the Republican caucus
but disclosed il at the "insuTgent' con-
ference.

Stuck to His Charges.

Several senators cross-eXamined Con-
ger iH an attempt 10 lessen the damaging
effect of his recent allegation against
Speaker Nixon and Assemblyman Bur
nett but COngeT stuck to his charges.
On direct re-crOss-eXaminatiOn COnger
said he wanted it understood that he cast
no reflections on any legislators whose
names had appeared in his testimony, ex-
cept Aids, Nixon and Burnett.
During the general discussion just be
fore the Senate adjourned, Attorney Lit
Teton took full responsibility for the de
Tense in disclosing the names Of Nixon
and Burnett.
THE delivery of $1,000 he contended
constitutes the entire story. If there is
one man living outside Of the respondent
(AlldS) who can be named rs having ac-
cepted money we propose TO summon him
here
Then he referred scornfulIy to the idea
that all the guilty but Aids were sup
posed to be dead.
The two important questions were put
TO Senator COnger during his cross-eS-
animation today. They were:
Who shared with the late Jean L. Bar
nett the $1,000 which Conger says Burnett
received from Hiram G. Moe on April
q 1910? And who made the demand for
10000 protection money" which the
bridge companies refused i'm 1905?

Sender Boat Trials.

Marblehead, Mass, Aug. S.-The
American elimination trials for the
ISpanish-A sender boat races
TO take place week after next began
off Marblehead today under the aus
pieces of the Eastern Yacht club.
Seventeen boats are entered for the
trials, and three of them will be Sc
lected to form the American team.
Only seven out of the seventeen are
of this years build, and among the
others are the Joyette, the Ellen and
the Wolf, the American team that
successfully defended the Taft cup
in the German-American match last
season. More than usual interest at
taches to the elimination trials, as,
aside from their immediate purpose,
they will serve as preliminary test
of the boats that will compete in
the trials to be held next month on
Buzzards Bay for the selection of
team to be sent to Kiel for an in
ternatiOnal match next June.

tors, but just as soon as it is known
that there are hundreds or even
200 carloads of Elbertas rolling to
the big centers, then the same buy
ers will be afraid to invest.
While central organization to
distribute this fruit would undoubt-
eddy be an advantage, I believe we
can accomplish the object of wise
distribution if growers and shippers
will insist that the eastern houses
put their money into the peaches; in
other words, that all sales be made
at some definite price f. o. b. cars.
The best buyers realize that this is
the only way they can be protected
in what they purchase. Nearly all
the local shipping houses here have
found out by experience that f. O.
b. sales are the only correct method.
Do not listen to the smooth solicitor
who gets 10 per cent on the freight
even if your peaches sell for no more
than the freight when they arrive
at destination. He is playing sure
game with no risk whatever, and
will get $50 to 500 on every car
he can persuade the grower or ship
per to consign. The temptation is
too great for the ordinary man to
make correct representations as to
his market, and further, it is i'm
possible for any one to Judge close
ly of any particular market. The
fruit ought to be distributed from
this end rather than from one of the
big cities in the East, because here
cars can be diverted to the most ia
vOrable market.

Ma Can't Vote.

Mas a graduate of college, and she's
read most everything:
She can talk in French and German
she can paint and she can sing.
Beautiful! She's like picture, When
she talks she makes you think
Of the sweetest kind of music, and
she doesn't smoke or drink.
Oh, l can't begin to tell you all the
poems she can quote;
She knows more than half the law
yers do; but ma can't vote.
When my pa is writing letters, ma
must always linger near
To assist him in his spelling and to
make his meaning clear.
If he needs advice, her judgment, he
admits, is always best;
Every day she gives him pointers,
mostly at his own request.
She keeps track of legislation, and
is taxed on bonds and stocks,
But she never gets a look-in at the
sacred ballot box.
Ma is wiser than our coachman, for
he's not a graduate,
And doubt if he could tell you who
is governing the state.
He has never studied grammar, and
I'll bet he doesn't know
Whether Caesar lived thousand or
two thousand years ago.
He could never tell us how to keep
the ship of state afloat,
For he doesn't know there's such a
thing-but ma can't vote.
Once when Mr.. Jones was calling
they got up short debate
That was on the tariff question; he
supposed he had it straight.
But before they'd finished talking he
threw up his hands and said
That he'd not read much about it,
nor remembered what he'd read.

to better human lives,
Still he looms up like giant when
election time arrives.
Mrs. GOokins does our washing, for
she has to help along,
Taking care of her six children,
though her husbands big and
strong.
When he gets job he only holds it
till he draws his pay,
Then he spends his cash for whisky,
or else CANDLES it away.
l suppose his brains no bigger than
the brain of any goat,
And he'd trade his ballot for a drink
but ma can't vote!

EQUAL SUFFRAGE
COLUMN
Alice Freeman Palmer on WOmen's
Duties.

Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, for
mer president of Wellesley college,
wrote an interesting article for a
pamphlet compiled by the College
Equal Suffrage League of Massachu-
sets, entitled, Objections to Wo-
man Suffrage Answered by College
Women" Each college woman con-
tributing to the symposium an
swered a separate objection. Mrs.
Palmer replied to the argument that
women are already fully occupied
with higher duties She wrote:
What are the political duties?
What are the higher duties?
How far does the one kind OBJ
struct or assist the other?
The political duties are: Inform
ing ones self on the state of the
country, on policies at issue, or can
didates for office, and going to the
polls and depositing a ballot.
The so-called higher duties of
woman are the bearing and rearing
of children and making a home for
family and friends.
How much time must she spend
on her political duties? If she be-
longs to the well-to-do class and
hires others to do her work, she has
time for whatever interests her most
only let these interests be noble,
If she does her own Homework. she
can take ten minutes to stop on her
way to market and vote once or twice
a year. She can find half an hour a
day for the newspaper and other
means of information. She can talk
with family and friends about what
she reads. She does this now; she
Will then do it more intelligently,
and will give and receive more from
what she says and hears If she does
this reading and talking, she will be
better Informed than the majority of
voters are now.
The duties of motherhood and the
making of a home are the most sa-
cred work of women, and the dearest
to them, of every class. If casting an
Intelligent vote would interfere with

failed in, undermines society and
which a woman must choose But it
cannot be shown that there are any
large number of women in this coun-
try who have not the necessary time
to vote intelligently, and it can be
argued that study of the vital uues-
lions of our government would make
them better comrades to their hus-
bands and friends, better guides to
their sons, and more interesting and
valuable members of society. Women
of every class have more leisure than
men, are less tied to hours of rou-
tine, they have had more years of
school training than men. All this
makes simple the combination of
public and higher" duties.
The objections to the political wo-
man and to the educated woman pre-
sent some instructive analogies. Fifty
years ago it was seriously believed
that knowing the classics would ruin
her morals, philosophy her religion,
and mathematics her health; in gen.
eral college education would take
away her desire to be a good wife
and mother. To protect a being so
frail, the colleges were carefully
closed against her. Now, with the
approval of wise men, more girls
than boys are preparing for college,
and this in the public interest. 1t
may be found in politics as in educa-
ton, that the higher duties of women
will be assisted, not hindered, by in
telligent discipline in the lower.

This illustrates the evils of, con-
signing fruit. You can see the Cal
gary market, by the unwise consign-
ment from Wenatchee, has been
spoiled on peaches. Parties who
thus consign without general infor-
nation as to markets, as soon as
they find one market spoiled will
flock to another and another in
turn, and if there is sufficient of
this reckless consignment all mar
kets are soon ruined, said H. NJ. Gil
bert, of Toppenish, Thursday.
/ am satisfied if there could be
a wise distribution of the present
immense crop of alberta peaches
and if the railway company makes
good on its promise of 5-day service
to st. Paul, we could get price for
peaches that would pay the growers
we'll. But if the growers listen to
the eastern houses who are soliciting
consignments or if they ship indis-
criminately to the large auction mar
kets, we will get little more than
the freight, if we get that, for our
crop. If the growers should be un-
wise enough to do so in Yakima,
Wenatchee, Utah and Colorado, it
is entirely possible that all these dis
tricts might have a total of 500 or
1000 cars rolling at one time, suf-
ficient to ruin all markets if on con-
signment or if sent to the auction.
The proper way, in my opinion,
is to sell the peaches f. o. b. cars,
refusing to listen to the houses
many of them of no responsibility
whatever, who are now soliciting
consignments. Is it possible to do
this? l believe it is. The Yakima
valley has only one or two peaches
apiece for the people of the Middle
West, West and Northwest. If the
growers and shippers will distribute
these peaches wisely direct to the
cities that are to consume them in
stead of consigning to the central
markets, the victory is won~ Think
of the scores and hundreds of cities
than can use one to ten carloads Of
peaches, such as Galesburg, ILL.,,
Crookston, Mimi, Keokuk, Burling-
ton, Dubuque, Des Moines, not to-
speak of the North and Northwest.
The millions of people all through
the Middle West have scarcely any
fruit, and their mouths are water
ing for Yakima peaches, but If we
send those peaches Unfortunately
to the big auction markets or to the
commission houses that will have to
reship them in express lots AMI 9TH
erwise, the fruit will arrive at des-
tination in bad condition with en-
tirely too many charges at price
which the consumer can not stand.
Dealers in such medium sized cities
as are mentioned are very willing
to buy if they know there will be
no indiscriminate consigning of the
same sort of fruit to their competi-
