evening our citizens, including a
large aumber Of children, began to
gather at Tanners Opera Hall TO
attend the entertainment given IN
honor OF the teachers assembled in
Culbertson to attend the Teachers
Institute. BY 8 o'clock the seats

PRIVATE. SHIP LINE
CAUSES HIGH RATES
McLachIan Declares Government
Steamers on Pacific Ocean Would
Lower Freight Prices on
California Fruit

NEW YORK, March 10-California
could save 70 per cent on freight in
annual shipments to the east of $10,-
100000 worth of fruit. Representative
James Nc Lauchlan of California told
the Merchants association here today,
if the government would operate a
line of steamers from California to the
western entrance of the Panama canal.
The government already operates one
line between New York and Colon on
the eastern coast of the isthmus, con-
Meeting with the Panama railroad, but
the steamers serving the western coast
are privately owned.
This private line, said Representative
McLachlan, is not effective for COM
petition because the railroads pay $780,
900 annually to the company for the
privilege of naming the rates.
Oranges now cost $1.S0 box to ship
by rail from coast to coast. By steam
er, said McLachlan, the rate ought to
be 80 cents. Because it is not, the
government line now carries heavy car
goes of supplies from New York to
the canal zone, but gets little or no
business in return.
The association voted its thanks to
Mr.. McLachlan, but took no other ac-
ton on his recommendations.

SAN BERNARDINO, March 10.-The
California limited, which left Los An
geles at 10 o'clock this morning, mar
rowly escaped a disastrous wreck as 1t
was leaving San Bernardino before 1
o'clock this afternoon. The leading
locomotive struck a partly opened
switch at the junction point of the
main line and loop in the northern part
of the city, and both engines with the
buffet car left the track. Although the
two locomotives were drawing the
train at a fast rate of speed the engi-
neer at the instant he felt his engine
leave the rails applied the emergency
brakes, which brought the train to a
stop before more than the leading car
had been derailed. Neither engine
turned over. The cars which were not
derailed were returned to the yards,
while the wrecker rerailed the engines
and repaired the track. Traffic was
demoralized for four hours. No one was
injured.

ALLDS GRILLED
BY INQUISlTORS
CONGER BRIBERY CASE AS
SUMES NEW TREND
State SoIon's Character Assailed In
Effort to Show His Connection
with the Purchase of For
est Lands

ALBANY, N. Y, March 1o,-Hints
that Senator Aids connived with
friends to defraud the state In the
purchase of Adirondack forest lands
were developed today IN his cross ex-
animation on the Conger bribery
charges.
The defendant was under fire all
day except for brief respite when ms
own attorneys recalled Cashier Gale OF
the Groton National bank, in an effort
to impeach Hiram G. Moe.
Conger's counsel assailed the accused
senator's character In addition to
probing his connection with the pur-
chase of forest lands, now the object
Of a separate investigation recently
launched by Governor Hughes, delVed
into Aids bank accounts, and tried to
prove $4,000 he sent to his New York
brokers ten days after he was alleged
to have received the $1,000 bribe in 1901,
could not be traced to an innocent
source. They also arraigned him for
investing the stock of the New York
Transportation company shortly before
he helped pass a bill benefiting that
corporation.
Firm Received 500 Month
Aids admitted his law firm received
$100 a month as local attorneys for the
New York Central railroad in his home
district.
But" he said, "a man doesn't have
to quit practicing law because he goes
to the legislature"
Aids seemed satisfied with the way
he acquitted himself today. But the
interrogations about his connection
with the forest land purchases were
palpably unrelished. Once he said in a
low tone, as Attorney Osborne came
near him:
"Now, Jim, you're hitting below the
belt"
Aids had already testified that he
was employed for five years to search
titles of land bought by the state for
the Adirondack preserve, receiving
about $4,000 for his services.
Osborne today questioned him about
the states purchase of land from
William Harris of Worthwhile.
Don't you know that this land was
sold to the state by Harris for Sc an
acre after he had paid so cents an
acre for it?" asked Osborne.
Didn't Pass on Values
Aids replied that his business was
to pass on the validity of titles and
not on values.
The examination was interrupted by
Senator Grady, who declared that it
had no bearing on the question at
issue.
81 intend to show" said Osborne
"that Aids was bound to discover in
searching the titles that this land was
recently acquired and not worth the
price paid by the state"
1.-THE governor has appreciated that
this question is not germane to this
case" declared Grady, land has or
dered an investigation into the partic-
ular matter.
Osborne withdrew his question, but
made Aids admit that as chairman Of
the assembly ways and means commit
tee he had to pass on it in the supply
bill for purchase of this land.
Osborne denied Aids insinuation
that many persons in Albany were
in the habit of buying tax titles to
Adirondack lands at state comptrollers
sales and selling them back to the
state at a large profit.

GIVEN VERDICT
JURY IN. EDDYvILLE HAY CASE
FIND AGAINST THE
PLAINTIFF.

After having paid visit to the Nor
rish farm near Eddyville yesterday to
ascertain the facts about some OF the
evidence introduced in the case, the
jury in the case Of N. N, Padgett VS..
Norrish & Crump and G. II. Crump, re-
turned verdict for the defendants last
night The jury returned a verdict soon
after their return from Eddyville. The
costs in the case were assessed against
the plaintiff. Through his attorney, Mr..
tPadgett served notice this morning
that the case would be appealed to the
district court.
The case was the outgrowth OF a
public sale in which the plaintiff de-
clared he purchased hay from the de-
fendents, which did not come up to the
required weight. AS the hay was sold
in the barn 1t was brought out in the
hearing Of the case that considerable
weed and stubble had been left in the
barn. To firmly establish this fact the
jury decided to visit the farm.
Krizer Bros. and Hugh Leeling have
also brought suit against the defend
ants In, the above, named case, alIeg.
ing that the hay sold to them was also
short weight. The cases were to have
been taken up before Justice G. B. Me-
lick this morning but were continued
for 80 days. 1,
