state Fish and Game Commissioner TIT
comb Says Fish Hatchery Is Disgrace
would Accept Reappolntment

when State Fish and Game Commits
sioner John w. Titcomb of Lyndonville
was interviewed regarding possible OPP
position to his reappointment on account
Of his inability to devote his whole time
to the office he said he did not intend to
embarrass the administration by asking
for a reappointment He said he would
try to serve the state to the best OF his
ability II Governor Mead offered him the
position. IT am not in the office for
what there is in it," said Mr. Titcomb.
IT am paying out of my salary $50
month In addition to what the state al
lows, for Office assistance. 1t Is imma-
terial to me whether the state reduces
the compensation of the commissioner If
proper provision Is made for assistance
in the Office and the employment of
number OF wardens who shall devote
their entire time to their official duties
and be properly compensated therefor
1 think we are now frittering away large
sums of money in the warden service
without commensurate results. I find we
now have about 400 county and deputy
wardens Any man intelligent enough to
perform the duties of warden with all the
powers which the office confers upon him
should be able to earn in other walks Of
life more than the $3.50 and 81 per diem
now authorized by law.

Of years been a disgrace to the state. l

HUGE Graft Plot Exposed.

Testimony of a staggering character
concerning the raising Of n 100000 cor
ruption fund by rich men in 1908 to be
used in defeating the antiracing bills be-
fore the New York legislature came to
the surface on the dragnets OF the legis-
lative investigating committee in session
in New York Assistant District Attor-
nev Elder had obtained from former state
Senator frank Gardner, the man arrested
for having offered a large bride to former
Senator Foelker to vote against the bills,
a confession telling how n number of the
rich racing men had met at Delmonico's
and made up the fund Among the men
were James Keene. Harry Payne Whit
ney, Charles II. Hyde (now chamberlain
of New York; and several others. To
Jim" Gaffnev the agent of Boss Murphy
of Tammany $4,000 was given to dis
tribute at Albany Gardner had also told
Elder how the late Senator pat Nc
Carren had been auEercd because the
handling Of the fund was not given TO
him and that MCCarrcu had then turned
on the racing group and caused the de
feat of the bills. Besides all this. Con-
gresham Otto Foelker. the man who, as
state senator, was carried from sick
bed to cast the deciding vote for the bills,
testified how Gardner had tried to buy
his vote by offering large sums of cash
money. Gardner had said that the other
senators were getting $4,000 each and
that Foelker might have $1,000 II he
would come in. Foelker also testified
that former Quarantine Commissioner
Schroeder, now n convict in Sing Sing.
also had offered him a bride Of $4,000
to vote against the bills. Another SEN
sational part of the disclosures made to
Elder by Gardner was that large sums
of money were distributed to the Albany
correspondents of the big New York pa
pers, mentioning their names, some as
high as 5000. When Gardner himself was
called to the stand he refused point blank
to answer any questions. on the ground
that It might tend to incrminate him
self After his arrest at Scranton Pa,
Gardner had waived eNtradition proceed
ings and been taken to New York, where
| he was held on bail.
