It was a wild scene at the cafe for an instant or two, when the horse went through, but fortunately no one was hurt. It seems that the animal was liein ridden by a gentleman along North Main street.

The horse skidded along the floor, passing between a row of tables, at which luckily no one was seated, and the wall nnd brought up in the kitchen aparement to the accompaniment of screams from those in that section of the building. The animal, after doing consider able damage to the front of the build ing nnd to himself, became docile. An examination Of the animal's hurts ahowed that he was frightfully cut by the glass as he went into the building.

Albany. N. V. April 12. Declaring that the revelations In the recent Allds-Conger bribery inquiry and the Le ts I rought out in the Insurance in vestigation by Superintendent of In surance Ilotchkiss "have caused every honest citizen to tingle with shame and Indignation and have made irre sistible the demand that every prop means should be employed to purge and purify," Governor Hughes sent a special message to the legislature last night recommending an "immediate, impartial, thorough and unsparing in vestigation Into legislative practices and procedure and into the use of cor rupt and improper means for the pro motion or defeat of legislation." Obstacles Encountered. Accompanying the message was a preliminary report of Superintendent Ilotchkiss outlining the facts develop ed at the fire insurance investigation in New York and setting forth the difficulties encountered in following up the various leads which have been unioyered. The superintendent says that obstacles apparently Insuperable have developed in the course of in quiry. These, in his judgment, war rant further Investigation, but he has no power to pursue them and there fore has laid the facts thus far de veloped before the governor for ac tion. Governor Hughes declares that a promising opportunity is presented the legislature "to pursue the opening trails of corruption, to reveal illicit methods and agencies, to uncover the perlidious influences which have dis honored the state and thus to aid in securing the wholesome exercise ot Its beneficent authority." Wauls More Than Slere Disclosures. "Important as will be the whole some and corrective Influence of pub licity with respect to these matters," the govern continues, "the purpose and result of Inquiry extend beyond the bounds of mere disclosure. No subject deserves more thorough con sideration to the end that the oppor tunities of those who are willing to buy legislative powers for personal profit 'should he limited to the utmost degree, it may he Impossible to eradicate these evils, but to the extent that the nature of the illicit inter course is understood and the methods and instrumentalities which have been successful are exposed, there may be intelligent efforts at remedial action through both statutes and leg islative rules. The time is ripe, In my judgment, for a full and painstaking inquiry to expose the worst of public wrongs and to prepare the way for needed improvement ln our laws and legislative processes." Superintendent Ilotchkiss in his re port says that the result of the In vestigation thus far warrants the statement that legislative expenditures in New Y'ork by insurance companies were particularly conspicuous in the years 1901, 1903, 1904, 1906 and 1909, and notably significant In two or three of such years. lint Bribery Was Managed. "These disbursements," he said, "were made by individual companies, In connection with legislation affect ing such companies, by ayndicatea of companies, apparently willing to do thiB work for all, and by the New York board of fire underwriters corporation supported by annual as sessments on practically all of th companies doing business ln New York, mich assessments being based on 'premium Income' and whose com mittee on laws and legislation Is. by its laws, charged with the rosponsi billty of watching over legislative af fairs. "The moneys so paid were disbursed for the traveling expenses of Individ uala nn'1 delegations, annual and specinl retainers of regular counsel, so-called retainers of legislative law yers, contrlbutiona to political com mittees, gifts or payments to men of political prominence ViiYd Influence, and entertaining legislators and others at times on a somewhat laviah man ner. The aggregate dlaburaementa of thla character, aa the record now stands such disbursements being largely the treasuries of fire Insurance companies approximates and prob ably exceeda 1150,000." Summarizing he says "In ahort, while absolute proof showing the transit of money from the bank account of an Insurance company Into the bands or bank ac count of a legislator Is lacking, the record of the Investigator la lacking. the record of the warrants the state ment that, during the past decade particularly In the first five years of such decade, a system of bill-killing and law-getting has existed which Is a reproach to the people of the state That such system existed prior to 1900 la alao apparent from the facts devel oped by the Investigation." The message was received with mnrked attention In both houses and at the conclusion of its reading was referred to the finance committee In the st note ana to the committee on ways and means In the assembly.

Former President Tells Former Forester That He Will Address Conservation Congress This Summer. ROOSEVELT NOW HAS CASE AGAINST BALLIN6ER But Both Men Are Reticent and Little Is Known of What Was Said or Conclusions Ar rived at. Porto, Maurlzio, April 12 Gilford Plnchot, former chief forester of the United States, was again at the Villa of Miss Onrow, Mrs. Roosevelt's sister, at II o'clock this morning. It was as sumed that he was there for a final talk with Golonel Roosevelt. Despite the reticence of both men it is accepted as a matter of course that JBr. Roosevelt Is in possession of Mr. Pinchot's complete case against Sec retary Ballinger's conservation policy, and of what was described as the al leged re-actloniry tendency in fores try matters on the part of the Taf t a ft ministration. The most significant development was the announcement that Mr. Roosevelt accepted an Invitation from the former Chief Forester to add the National Conservation congress this summer. The weather continued beautiful to day and the Roosevelts have planned another excursion into the mountains this afternoon. HAS THE REGISTERS Pittsburg Officers May Now Determine Who Handled the Money for the Grafters. Pittsburg, Penn., April 12. The registers of the Hotel Imperial. New Y'ork, at which place the largest lump sum of the bribe money for the Pitts burg councilmen was paid over to Charles Stewart in June, 1908. are In the possession of District Attorney William A. Blakeley. The books are expected to reveal the signature of the man, as yet unnamed, who hand ed over the money to Stewart. Frank N. Hoflstot. the alleged lead er of a pool which raised a $52,000 fund to influence legislation in favor of six Pittsburg banks, will fight ex tradition from New York to Pitta burg. His local attorney, W. B. Rod ger, who returned from New York to day, gave out tonight a letter to Dis trict Attorney Blakeley in which he declared that the decision to fight ex tradition waa based on the following considerations: "It is manifest on the face of the presentment that the object of the indictments recommended therein la to compel Mr. tioffstot to appear be fore the grand Jurors and submit to an examination as to the very transac tions concerning which they found In dictments. We think that in advanco of trial such a proceeding is improp er and that our client should not be exposed to such Inquisition. "In addition there la a serious ques tion with respect to the constitution of tho present grand Jury to which your attention has been called by mo tion to quash a certain indictment found by It. We think this question is of such character and Importance that it should be raised with respect to any proceedings against our client and we propose to do that at a prop er time." The references are to the motion made last week by an attorney for Indicted councilmen that the Indict ments be quashed on the ground that Harrison Nealilt is ineligible to serve as foreman of the Jury because he Is not, It Is alleged, a legal resident of the county. Judge R. S. Frailer, who was to rule on this point today, post poned his decision. In reply to the counsel for Hoffstot, District Attornej Blakeley said tonight that the extra dition proceedings would be begun at once. The papers are now practtca'iy ready to forward to Governor Edwin S. Stuart. Mr. Blakeley himself will go to Albany to lay tham before Governor Hughes. The papers will not ask for Hoftstot's appearance be fore the grand Jury as was recom mended by that body but before a court to answer to charges on which he b 's already been Indicted. The grand Jury Inquisitors had sev eral bankers, who heve previously testified In part, before them again, hut the only action taken was a for mal presentment ordering the change of a date ln a previous Indictment against Max O. Leslie, collector of de linquent taxes ln Allegheny county. Pilot Boat Wrecked. Ten O. ..I nHniio W.M A n -I I It pilot boat Hlrondelle was wrecked Cape Frehel In the English channel today.
