New York State Senate by
Vote of Forty to Nine
Sustains Charge.
BRIBERY CASE Is
BROUGHT TO END
Conger's Allegations Are
Sustained by a Vote of
Empire State Solons.

ALBANY, N. Y, March 29.-By a
decided that the charge against Sena-
tor Jotham P. Aids, that he solicited
bribe of $1,000 has been sustained.
The charge was brought by Senator
Conger, who alleged that Aids agreed
to use his influence to kill legislation
aimed at the bridge trust.
One of the most sensational legisla-
tive scandals in the history of the en-
pire state came thus to an end The
vote was on the following question:
Have the charges made by Senator
Benn COnger against Senator J. P.
Aids, that he demanded and accepted
bribe of $1,000 from the bridge in
terests on the closing day of the leg:s-
lative session on April %, 1901, been
sustained?"
The charge against Aids was first
made by Conger in a conversation
With otHeI SelldloIS DIS 10 AlluS HtHeSS
to hold place as republican leader in
the senate. Conger asserted that he
knew of IN instance in which Aids
took $1,000 for defeating a bridge bill.
A newspaper man heard Conger's
statement, and brought on the publi-
city to the charge which led to the Of
fetal investigation.
Half hour before the senate met to
vote on the matter Aids filed his
resignation from the assembly. 1t was
believed by many that the resignation
would prevent any action on the part
of the senate

Ordered Villagers to
Leave Homes.
SCIENTISTS FEAR
A NEW ERUPTION

Mass of Debris that
May Bring Quake.

CATANUA, March 29.-The civil au
thorities today ordered $4,000 residents
on the southern slop of Mount Aetna
and vicinity to abandon their homes In
anticipation of a great eruption of the
volcano. The action is based on the
official report of scientists who risked
their lives in climbing the mountain
and making an examination of the
craters The report shows that Aetna
is choked with masses of rock and
ashes which have been distended up
ward by the pressure of masses in the
interior l. is believed that unless the
volcano throws off the clogging OBJ
stacles another earthquake will shake
Sicily.
Constant recurring explosions with
in the craters lead to belief on the part
the the scientists that Aetna will soon
burst it's temporary safety valve and
throw a tremendous fountain of vol
canic matter from its depths.
The prefect of Catania, at whose in
stance orders to abandon the towns on
the southern slope were issued today,
declared that more than dozen noun
tain villages were involved in the or
ders The towns will be occupied by
the military, whose duty now places
them In constant danger. Vegetation in
the vicinity of the mountain is de-
stroyed. Orchards and vineyards have

Establishes New
Record for CitV
PERMITS TOTAL MORE
THAN QUARTER OF A
MILLION DOLLARS
Main Street Will Take a
New Aspect as Result
Of improvements.

Building permits totaling more than
a quarter of million dollars have
been issued to date this month by
Bui ding Inspector William Metz, and
indications are that the activity for
the present season has only started.
A new record is established for build
ing improvements in Walla Walla. Not
since the office of building inspector
was established has there been such a
volume of business transacted as has
been recorded this month, the exact
figures being $26S,9SS.
The permit for the seven-s story Of
fee building Of the Baker Loan & In
vestment company at Second and Main
streets, in the sum Of $162,000 served
in a large measure to bring the total
for the month to date to the excep-
tional proportions, but the permits in
figure hitherto not reached in Walla
Walla Many fine homes are under
course of construction, while Main
street is literally torn up from Palouse
TO Fourth in order to allow Workmen
making various improvements. With
edthe completion of contracts now
awarded it is said Main street Will
present an entirely altered appear
ance and that business blocks erected
years ago will appear as structures of
modern construction.
The closing days of the month pro-
mise to bring a pronounced increase
