Taet the supply of good fruits is so

will not handle the inferior grades

Poor packing OF what may have
been good fruit is also guarded
against by the local merchants. They
declare that unless the product il

here. and warn all farmers against
it.
In fact there is growing senti-
naent among the fruit dealers against
poor packing. They want good car

Senator Made an Excellent Witness

al bribery charge lodged against him
by Senator Benn COngeT he denied
with emphasis that al times bOrdered

ton that he had accepted a $1,000
bribe in 1901 to aid in the defeat OF
bill. but that at any stage in his
career he had accepted money to in
fiuence his official acts
Senator Aids was on the stand all
day. and il is probable that his direct
examination by Martin ". littletOn
of his counsel will occupy the entire
session tomorrow. 1t was the gen
eral impression among those who at
tended the hearing today that the ac-
cused member of the upper House
had made a most excellent witness
in his own behalf. Tonight il was
clearly evident that the straightfor-
ward and unhesitating Uanner in
which Senator Aids answered all
questions put to him by his counsel
had created among his colleagues
who viii pass final judgment on his
case an impression too profound to
be shattered by anything except a
breakdown under cross examination.
To the oral testimony given by the
accused Senator there was added to,
day two pieces of documentary evil
dence which, it is admitted, will
weigh heavily in the balance in sup
port of the contention of Senator
Aids that the highway bill, accord
ing to Senator Conger's testimony,

diture of $4,000 corruption fund
among certain legislators on the last
day of the 1901 session in fact was
doomed because of a decree emanat-
ing from former United States Sena-

lican boss of the state
