CCCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCCCCCCCCOCO
Washington, April 5.-Wages for
the vast army of men employed on the
big steam railways of the country, an
army estimated to consist of not less
than G25 900 men, are going up by
leaps and bounds in an endeavor to
keep pace with the greatly increased
cost of living.
The Pennsylvania Railroad system,
employing almost 100000 men. an
nounced an increase of per cent. in
the wages of approximately $4,000
men, and involving to the company
an additional expenditure per annum
of about $10,000,O00
Later in the day the Philadelphia &
Reading Railroad, one of the big coal
carriers, announced similar increase
in salary, involving about 81 900 men.
The added cost to the company is
about $1,5O0,O00 year.
The New York Central, and the
lines 1t controls east and west of
Buffalo, has increased wages to the
extent of $l.250,0O0 a year; the New
York, New Haven & Hartford has
ma se an increase which represents an
additional expenditure of 100000 a
year. Other trunk lines, Southern
lines and lines west Of Chicago and
the local roads have made wage in
creases which, it is estimated, will
cost them an added $9000,000 year.
Thus. from the roads SO far heard
from. the aggregate wages of the rail-
road workers in 1910 will have in
creased approximately 22.500,000.
The New York, New Haven & HIATT
ford Railroad, which recently raised
wages because of the high cost of liv-
ing, however, announced that on May
l it will increase its passenger rates
between this city and Boston. The in
creases in fares amount to from 2 to o
per cent This would indicate that the
travelling public will have to pay for
the increase in wages.
So far as can be learned, neither
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
nor the Reading Company contem-
plates raising fares to the public in
order to meet the added costs of
wages. Ultimately, however, it is ex-
pected there will be some slight ad-
vance in freight rates.

GRAFT ENDED BY GAYNOR.
New York Police Merely to Report Ex.
else Violators

New York, N. Y. April 4.-Police-
men either in uniform or in citizens
dress will not hereafter, during the
administration of Mayor Gaynor, be
permitted to enter saloons to detect
violations of the Excise law, nor will
they be permitted to make arrests for
such violations on the spot, as has
been the practice where liquor deal
ers did not pay for protection"
Mayor Gaynor laid down the law
in letter he sent to Police Commits
sioner Baker. He directed that in
future, to stop police graft on this
line, patrolmen shall be required to
examine saloons from tn outside to
see the provisions of the Raines law
as to keeping bars exposed to view
from the streets are complied with and
that no persons are served with liquor
or beer
The patrolman, the captain and the
inspector are to make note of the evi-
dence in their books and turn such
evidence of all violations over to the
Police Commissioner. He is required
in turn to submit the evidence in all
cases to the District Attorney, who is
to obtain warrants and prosecute the
cases.

army of small salaried persons in the
city. They have seen articles in the
papers telling about the higher cost
of living; but it seemed that still they
could go to their dairy lunches and
get the same old things for the same
old prices. Entertainment stayed
about the same, for moving picture
shows are and 10 cents, and the
peanut galleries of the best theatres
are still 80 cents.

Buckley quoted them to him-$3,0 900

Mr.. Kingsley, who succeeded his
fatherin-law, John A. Mccall, as presi-

at the fire insurance inquiry conducted
by Superintendent Iiotchkiss. said
that in 1906, while he was in Albany
trying to get through an amendment
to the Armstrong law, Buckley, the in
surance lobbyist and former employee
of the insurance department, had come
to him and proposed to deliver" the
votes of six senators for $4,000, each
of the Senators to get $500 for his
vote. He rejected the proposition.

SENATOR ALLDS IS
GUILTY OF BRIBERY
New York State Senate by Vote

Conger Charges
He RESIGNS BEFORE VOTE
Suddenly Quits When He Finds That
Decision of the Senate is to Be Ad-
verse to Him-Movement to lnvesti.
gate Conger for Bridge Work.

Albany, N Y, April 5.-After seven
weary weeks of investigation, the New
York. Senate convicted Senator Jo-
ing bribe of $1,000 to influence
bridge legislation. The vote against
him was overwhelming to 8.
BY the unexpected move of sending
in his resignation Aids relieved the
Senate of the painful duty of eXpell-
ing him. The resignation was sent on
the advice of his attorneys, who were
convinced he had lost and who desired
to put the blame on political interfer-
ence with the Senatorial jury from
Washington and elsewhere.
Those who voted in favor of Aids
We're: Senators Coats, Grattan, Hold
en- and Kissell, Republicans, and Sen
ators Cullen, Frawley, Grady, c. ID.
Sullivan, T. ID. Sullivan, Democrats.
Senator Cobb introduced resolu-
ton providing for the appointment of
IA committee of five senators to pre-
pare charges against Senator Conger,
growing out of the use of funds to in
tiuence members of the Legislature.
Meanwhile, if Senator Conger has not
yet resigned this special committee
will start his trial, and it is anticipat-
ed the trial can be completed in 4S
hours.
While Senator Conger does not ex-
pect a favorable result of an investi-
cation, it is believed that his position
is well stated by his counsel, Judge
David Nj. Van Hoesen who remarked,
emphatically: "Conger hasn't shown
any sign of cowardice since this trial
began. has he?"
After the vote was announced which
showed so decisively the practical ava
lanche against Aids, everyone was
criticising Aids for not sticking it out
to the finish. There were those who
believed that Aids had an idea that
his resignation would eliminate the
whole bribery proposition Immediately
from the senate, but that idea was
quickly shattered when such Republi-
cans as Senator Cobb let it be known
that the Senate wanted to vote on the
charges with Aids in or out of the
body. Aids was consequently to gain
nothing by resigning.

.P|TTSBURG MAYOR
JEERED At MEETING
Monster Gathering to Uphold Crusade
Against Vice Attended by Many
Prominent Persons.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 5-Mayor
William A. Magee tried to sneer at
5000 Pittsburg taxpayers who had
gathered in Exposition Hall to protest
against the vice in Pittsburg and was
hissed and hooted from the hall.
Mayor Magee thundered that if half
OF what is said about him and his ad-
ministration were true he would re-
sign and the rafters fairly thundered
with the roars of please resign"
you're afraid to-" &c.
Julian Kennedy, the consulting en-
gineer, Prof. John A. Brashear, the as
tronomer, and others of equal fame
had the meeting in charge.
Mayor Magee came to the meeting
unasked and took a seat on the stage,
no attention being paid to him until
charges had been made against the
administration, when he jumped to his
feet and asked Prof. Brashear the
privilege of replying. This was grant
ed him.
/ you people know a whole lot about
the law, don't you?" began Magee, at
which the crowd stood on chairs and
Magee was Kissed for fully ten min
utes before he would make a move to
sit down.
"If half what has been said about
me and my administration is true I'll
resign my commission!" shouted the
Mayor of Pittsburg as soon as he
could be heard. A roar of catcalls and
misses greeted this, while hundreds of
men shook their fists at the defiant
little Mayor and dared him to resign.
One man whose name was not learned
shouted to the Mayor that he would
give him 81 900 to resign at once.
The crowd, composed of many Of
the best men in Pittsburg, stood on it's
feet and hissed the "Million-dollar
Mayor" until he passed clear out of
the building on the arm of John NORM,
his Director of Public Safety.
