Committee Holds Firse
Graft Probe Session.

New York. Sept The legislativs
graft committee held its first public ses-
sion to-day in the aldermanic chamber
OF the city hall Judge NJ. Linn Bruce
presided.
The work Of the day was directed to
connecting the Albany activities of c,
Tracy Rogers, when he was president OF
the State Railway Association. with in
huentiaI members Of the legislature and
the New York stock brokerage firm sf
Ellingwood & Cunningham. ia which firm
Mr.. Rogers was a special partner The
examination OF Mr.. Rogers was suspend
ed after the connection had~been estab-
Eshed
The relation existing between the legis-
lature and Mr. Rogers stock brokerage
firm was much elucidated through the
testimony Of a civil engineer. ". W.
Cole. who during the time inquired into.
1900, and 1905. was a traction man in
Elmira, and treasurer OF the Street Rail-
way Association. Of New York. Mr Cole
somewhat reluctantly revealed the fast
that when he became treasurer OF that
association he was confronted with a.
deficit, OF $1,000. resulting from political
contributions made, he understood, 10
both parties.
The hnal witness established the most
intimate connection between Mr.. Rosers'
activities in Albany and the speculative
accounts OF members CT the legislature,
more especially the speculations of Louis
Bedeh. He was George Carpenter. who
was EllingwoOd d Cunnincham's boox-
keeper for FIVE or six years.

St. Paul, Sept. 1.-The States
rights forces in the National Con-
scrvation Congress are in full re-
treat.
Staggered BY the vigorous assault
of Theodore Roosevelt and de-
feated Tuesday in the organization
Of the committe on resolutions, the
rout was made complete to-day.
To Senator Albert J. Beveridge,
Of Indiana, belongs the credit. In
the most brilliant and fiery address

ford iPnchot. starting n demonstration
at the auditorium for the deposed chief
forester which rivaled the one in honor
Of Col. Roosevelt yesterday. and plainly
showed that thefriends of Pinchot are in
control Of the Congress.
II Monday was President Tafts day at
the congress and Tuesday Col Roose-
velt's day. to-day was sruely Clifford
PinchOt's day. And the fact that SEN
ator Beveridge was the chief orator did
not detract from the honors paid the
leading spirit in the conservation move
ment.
Ove~shadowed on previous days by the
two most distinguished men in the coun-
try, Mr.. Pinchot had not bNrn in the
lmelight before In fact. he had not
taken an active part in The sessions.
But to-day ii was different.
Greeted by Ovation.
Mr. Pinchot was not on the programme.
but he continually lowered behind the
scenes. consulting with President r N
Baker and Secretary Tomas r. Shipp
And at the close Of Senator Beveridge's
speech so loud and insistent were the
calls for Pinchot that he stepped to the
iootlishts and made few impromptu re-
marks An ovation greeted him.
Senator Beveridge said States rights Is
constitutional. but would be dangerous
