HORSE TRAFFIC.

Boston, March IT,
A good trade development during the
week, and the market tone was firm
with considerable encouragement in
the outlook for the spring trade.
Supplies We're somewhat heavier, but
the demand was brisk, and sales on
good horses were made to advantage.
Commercial horses moved freely. with
the heavy horses selling readily at full
value. Harness classes were in good
demand and although there were good
horses of this type on the market, the
supply is very difficult to obtain ard
horses suitable FOR family drivers and
selling at moderate values will not be
plentiful during the coming season.
Some good speed horses were on sale
during the week at fancy prices
The best heavy draft horses sold
readily at sS50GFi50; medium weight
draft horses. at s250M350: milk team
express, delivery and general purpose
horses. at $150@250; chunks at 800 and
upward: second hand horses of all de-
scription at $50 and upward according
to condition and age. High class driv-
ing and combination horses at $500
and upward; saddle horses at $500 and
upward. according to style and finish:
medium to good drivers at S15O@25O.
At the city sale stables-Wheeler.
McFlveen e Co., received 5 express
carloads of fresh country horses and
10 acclimated horses. The weeks
trade was very good. with a quickened
demand and more sales to advantage.
WEIGH e Hall & Co. receive car
loads of country horses, and 30 accli-
mated horses. Trade was more active
and values held steady.
Myer Abrams & Co. received car
loads of green horses, which sold read
lily at well sustained values.
AS Isburgh's & Co. about 40 seasoned
horses for driving purposes were en-
tered. Every good horse entered sold
easily at strong values.
A movement is started to have sale
stable for horses at the Brighton Stock
Yards, the company interested claiming
that with better facilities for showing,
the horses in the larger space occupied
that sales will be doubled.

CUMMING BITTER.
Continued from Page One.)

| States and for him who occupies it at
the present time, I record my protest
here and now against practice which
! believe to be full of danger and dis
aster."
Declaring to be extraordinary the cir
c,mstances connected with the origin
Of the bill the Iowa senator declared the
report as made to the Chief Executive
although supposedly confidential, had
long before it reached the President
fallen into the hands of the railroad
men.
Discussing the progress OF the bill,
after it reached the House Mr.. Cum
minis declared that it had been vastly
changed These changes he attributed
tc the influence of the railroad men
which had been brought to bear upon
the President and the attorney gen.
eral before Jan. II, when the bill was
presented to the chairman of the COM
mittee on interstate commerce.
He asserted that from the time the
measure had been turned to the Presi-
dent. to the time it had LETT him. near
~ every railroad president IN the coun-
try had visited Washington and had
been heard by the President and the
attorney general. many of them twice.
Substantially every change had been
made to suit the railroads.
He objected he said to the course Of
the executive officials in taking i'll
hand the entire direction of legislation.
But if the attorney general and the
President were to prepare bills 1t was
''eminently fair that they should hear
those Interested" But while the rail-
road men had presented their views to
the President and his attorney gener-
al only one of them had been heard
by the Senate committee.
Mr.. Cummins inveighed against the
proposed court of commerce as unnec-
essarv and expensive. He also argued
that any court created for the trial
of railroad cases alone would be I'M
wise because of the influences that
would surround the selection of the
members of the court and because OF
the tremendous power of the railroads.
More serious and disastrous than
any of these objections, he said, was
the blow to shippers in taking the In
terstate Commerce Commission out of
the defence of cases and making the
United States the defendant and plac-
ing the cases entirely in the hands of
the attorney general. Such a course.
he commended, would have the effect
of giving the department of justice the
power of secret review from which
there could be no appeal or redress.
This course, he thought, must neces-
sarily destroy the effectiveness Of the
law.
Senator Bristow of Kansas today Of
fered long list of amendments to the
administration railroad bill, the most
important of which looks to the COM
plete elimination of the proposed COM
merce court.

Star Witness in New
York Bribery Scandal
Is Accused by Aids Attorney
Of FaIsitying Stubs.
Microscopes, Enlarged Photo.
graph and Expert Used.

Albany, n Y. March 15-With
microscopes and photographs " times
enlarged and an expert to explain them
Senator Aids attorney attacked the
reliability of Hiram c. Moe the star
witness for the accuser in the Senate
bribery scandal. This expert, Albert
III. Hamilton declared that while the
check Senator COngcr put in evidence
as the source of the corruption fund
was drawn for $500. the amount on the
stub frcm which the check was torn
was originally $4,000 and had been
raised $500 since the present investiga-
zion began.
ON the strength of his testimony.
Aids side will argue that Moe, to
whom the whole transaction was en-
trusted by Frank Conger. deliberately
wrote the stub for $500 less than the
face of the check to cover his act in
drawing this additional sum. They
will declare that owing to the trust the
Congers reposed in Moe and to the
death of Frank Conger year after this
incident, Noes alleged act went undiS-
covered until Senator Conger's attor-
neys examined the checkbooks of the
COnger family in preparing for the
Aids investigation. Then their theory
is that the discrepancy between the
check and the stub was discovered and
the stub touched up to make it agree
50 that both might be introduced in
evidence. Aids lawyers regard this
as their trump card.
In addition to attacking the integrity
of the check stub, Expert Hamilton de-
clared that a change had been made in
an entry in the draft book of the Groton
National Bank, where the new New York
drafts exchanged for the original Doodle
fund check were recorded.
This book shows now two entries for
drafts of $4,000 each. Mr.. Hamilton said
that one of these entries was originally
$500 and that the figure IS" had been
scratched out and 'O' substituted.
The theory of the defence is that the
original draft book entry was changed
to protect Moe and to confirm his story
that he got from the bank $4,000 in drafts
and $500 in cash, instead of $500 all in
drafts as the defence contends.
The testimony of the defendants ex-
pert was no surprise to the other side, for
today they have Albert Osborn, another
expert ready to contradict Hamilton's
evidence. Osborn will take the stand to-
morrow.
To balance this telling evidence by
Aids, Conger earlier in the day proved
that Aids accepted between $1,000 and $1,000
a year ago for his services in getting
81 800 claim through the state court Of
claims for the Argus Publishing Co. of
Albany, and arraigned the senator for
using his influence in the Senate for his
own private gains.

Joe Cannon Sends Letter
To Republican Editors.
Says Payne Tariff Law Is
Best Revenue ReduCer.
Asks Editors Not TO Be MisIed by
Complaining Demagogues.

Springfield, H.. March 15.-Speaker
Cannon, in a letter read at q meeting
of Republican editors here today, re-
newed his attack on the "insurgelits'
and declared that all the pledges of the
platform will be kept by the Republic
csln party il it has the continued sup
port Of the party.
The letter is addressed to George F.
Rankin president Of the Illinois Re-
publican Editorial Association. and In
part is as follows:
",The Republican party has not dis
rarded any of its principles, nor has it
sought new issues simply for the pur-
pose Of catching the, crowd ever ready
for novelties. Where it has added new
planks to it's platform. it has kept its
pledges. Republican nnajorities in
House and Senate, cooperating with
the President, placed the Payne tariff
law on the statute books Aug > or
within less than five months from the
beginning of the session.
within six months after it's enactment
that law has demonstrated that 1t Is the
best revenue producer, as well as the
most scientific adjustment of protective
duties we have ever had fully justifyng
the Presidents declaration that 1t Is the
best tariff law ever enacted. The Re
publican party did not promist free
trade tariff nor downward revision, but
a revision in which should be recognized
the principle of protection. with the min
imum and maximum rates to preserve
without excessive duties that security
against foreign competition to which
American manufacturers and producers
are entitled: and also to maintain the
high standard of living of the wage earn
crs Of this country. who are the most di-
rect beneficiares of the protective sys-
tenn.
The present Congress in regular SEES
sion has been more energetic and more
successful in carrying forward the work
before it than has any other Congress in
recent years.
NO party has ever been able to accom-
pIish all it promised in one session of
Congress and such an accomplishment
has never been expected.
1T is the function of the Republican
editors to keep the people informed as
to the work accomplished. that they may
not be nisled by dcmagogues whose func-
ton is to complain and create dissatis-
faction: and the Republican editors of
Illinois can be of material assistance in
presenting the truth to meet fiction. that
the people may fairly judge as to the
fidelity OF the present administration to
the principles of the party that gave it
power. to the end that the President may
continue to have the support of the leSis-
lative department in working out the pol
icies of the Republican party
