In HcuriiiK of Senators A lids mid
Conger of New York State- Senate.
Charged With Bribery, Conger ou
Stand Says He Considered tlie Mat
ter blackmail He Tells of Meet
ing of Allds and His Brother
Frank.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Albany, N. Y., Feb. 17 More
bombs were expected today when tiie
senate hearing into the bribe charge
brought against Senator Jotham P.
Allds and Senator Benn Conger, was
resumed and the bombs came.
Many prominent women were in
the galleries, among them being Airs.
Martin W. Littleton, wife, of Allds'
chief counsel; Mrs. O. P. H. Belmont,
Miss Inez Millson, the suffragette
leader, who was recently imprisoned
while working in behalf of striding
girl skirt waist makers in New
York; Mrs. James W. Wadsworth,
wife of the speaker; and Mrs. Tim
otny L. Woodruff, wife of the repub
lican state chairman.
The name of Jean Burnett, the leg
islator now dead, accused of accept
ing a bribe, came up immediately
when Senator Conger in taking the
stand was cross-examined by Attor
ney Carr. The senator In answer to
questions said he had talked to Mr.
Burnett about the amendment to the
Stevens-Malby bills. He said he had
conversation with Mr. Allds within a
day or so after the bills had been re
ported from the committee and this
conversation took place in the corrt
dor of the assembly chamber, he as
serted, and there was no one present
at the time. According to Conger,
Allds said:
"Ben, you fellows think you have
that bill bottled up in your commit
tee but don't forget, my boy, that
there is a rules committee. I under
stand there is something doing with
that bill on the floor. You had bet
ter get your American bridge fellows
down here."
Senator Conger told of talking
with his brother Frank over the long
distance telephone, and later arrang
ing a meeting between Frank and
Allds, at his apartments at 67 Jay
street.
Frank Conger and Allds, he said,
talked for fifteen or twenty min
utes. Questioned, he deceiared he
broached the Stevens bill, the subject
of the consultation. He saw them
together three or four days later.
Closely questioned as to his atti
tude, Conger said:
"1 considered it blackmail rather
than robbery."
The answer was stricken from the
record.
Continuing, the witness said he
did not consider Allds proposition
bribery. "I considered it blackmail,"
he said again, and the remark was
once more stricken out. A moment
later he made the same reply and for
the third time it was stricken out.
Then when Carr said, "You didn't
consider it bribery," Conger rcplier,
"No."
Conger testified that shortly before
the alleged meeting between his
brotiiir and Allds he had a talk with
the latter on corruption in I lie legis
lature. Conger said his brother visited Al
bany also once a week and told him
in advance of" Moe coming. He said
Fred Saunders, of Madison county,
then a committee cle.'k in the assem
bly, was at the table with himself
and Moe when the latter was with
him. On direct testimony Conger
had testified that he and Moe break
fasted in his room. Today ho said
tney look the meal at the general
table. Conger tried to explain but
Mr. Carr would not allow him. He
said he did not count the bridge
money after breakfast. He did not
want to have anything to do with it.
He repeated here that he "knew it
was blackmail and the answer was
again stricken out.
"Didn't you testify that this was
bribery?" he was asked. -
, Judge Van Wick objected and
was sustained. The giving of money
under duress it was declared, does
not carry the intent necessary to con
stitute bribery.
Asked if he kept tally on the mon
ey congress, said he directed its di
vision and placing in envelopes and
saw it counted.
"Wheer did the envelopes come
from?"
"I had them In my room."
Asked if he gave the full namos of
the recipients to write on the enve
lopes, the witness said he didn't re
member. Conger said he met the man who
got the $4,000 in the assembly corri
dor. He admitted that he watched
the envelope, which was larger than
the others to be sure It was delivered.
"FRAUDS UPON THE PUBLIC"
Is what some physicians have called
patent .medicines, and it is undenia
bly true that some are frauds and
some are even worse, because they
arc injurious. On the other hand,
there are many patent medicines such
as Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable
Compound, and others, which are of
real worth, and are recommended by,
physicians of recognized standing.
HUBBARD A WITNESS
Testies In Favor of the Cotton
Exchange
Argued That Business of Hie ( ul (on
K.Ychnngc is Legitimate Diuii
founded at the Proposition Made
by the Government A Moral
Question.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Washington, Feb. 17 The first
witness before the house agricul
tural committee today ou the hear
inges on cotton futures was S. T.
Hubbard, former president of The
New York cotton exchange.
Mr. Hubbard made a conservative
argument to show that the business
of the cotton exchanges is legitimate.'
"I am dunifoundcd," he said "to
see the government some forward
with a proposition that business must
be done under a precedent, rather
than under conditions that arise from
day to day." He said ihe cotton ex
change is not local to New York
but represents every state in the
union, and its branches extend to
the business marts of the world."
"It is not necessary," he added,
"that every bale of cotton should be
weighed, sampled and examined at
every change of ownership. This is
one of the rules of the exchange.
The south is the seller, and the ex
changes operate in its interest. Cot
ton exported to Liverpool is this,
that when the contract it made here it
is not accepted in Liverpool at the
price made on this side, the Liverpool
exchange deducts for any damage
that may be done in transit. The
seller loses this.
Americans have the right ' to buy
and trade in anything excepi foreign
ships but this was prohibited by law."
! In closing his argument Mr. Hub
bard declared that if the exchanges
could not do business under the
proposed law they would find a way
: to do it, intimating thai the busi
ness could be carried on in Liverpool.
Mr. Hubbard was followed by Mr.
jL. Mandlcbaum, of New York, who
!said he was a cotton broker, and a
! member of the New York cotton ex
change. I He was dramatic in his testimony.
saying he had been trying to determ
ine what the pending bills before
the committee have for their object.
"According to the Burleson bill,"
he said, " a man can buy all the
cotton he wishes, but he could not
' sell it." '
I It seemed to him that congress
i wishes to make it a moral question.
If is is immoral Tor the cotton ex
changes to exist why should con
jgress permit the New York Coffee
'exchange?
He said if the cotton exchange is
legal, then every bale of cotton sold
is for delivery. He said it might not
i be known generally, but the only
ones who are fighting the cotton ex
changes are the spinners, w.io arc
forming themselves into a trust, and
if they could kill the exchange it
would place t he farmers at the mercy
of the spinning trust.

Kstrada Says American Tramps Will

Revolutionary Army Consul siof.
fatt Says That Merchant Ships Will

(By Leased Wire to The Times)
New Orleans, Feb. 1 7 American
tramps and adventurers will have to
clear out of Nicaragua. That Is the
latest edict of Estrada government
issued to the request of the United
States consul, Moffatt, who is called
"the King of Nicaragua" by the. in
habitants of Bluefields.
Consul Moffatt secured the order
from General Estrada in the Interest
of good Order and peace in Bluefields,
because American tramps, it was said,
were disturbing conditions so that it
was difficult to prevent frequent
brawls. Since the revolution the
American adventurers have been
coming into the country from all
quarters of Latin-America in the
hope of securing something soft
when the government was over
thrown. Consul Moffatt saw this state of
affairs was resulting in demoraliza
tion for the revolutionists. After
consulting with General Estrada he
gave them the undesirable choice of
going to the front and fighting for
the insurgents or being deported. At
first the Americans were inclined to
laugh at the order, but Consul Mof
fatt communicated with the com
mander of one of the American gun
boats. A squad of blue-jackets ar
rived in Bluelields and the "Cabal Icr-
ous de Industria' were informed that
they could either go aboard tuc
merchant ships sailing to the gulf
pons of the United States or Amcri-,
can cruisers would take charge of
them and land them at some place on
the C'arribean coast. Thereupon en
sued an exodus so that the saloons
and other resorts of quarrelsome
Americans are empty. :
SENATOR DAVIS
STIRS UP A ROW
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Washington, Feb. 17 The bill
providing for the construction of
pipe lines through public lands in
Arkansas, which passed the senate
but was recalled from the house in
order to enable Senator Davis, of Ar
kansas, to discuss it, was brought up
in the senate today and was the cause;
of a row between Senator Davis and
Senator Owen, of Oklahoma. Sena
tor Davis declared that the legisla
tion was in the interest of the Stand-
jard Oil Company, which he charaac-
terized as "a gang of thieves and rob
bers." "The only place where they
should bo permitted to go is straight
to hell", ho said. "Where they
would be met by that arch devil,
John D. Rockefeller." He challenged
any democrat to vote for the measure
except the: senator from Oklahoma,
who, he said, ho understood was in
terested in the corporation.
Senator Owen arose and said that
the , statement In the ."impudent
'speech" of the senator from Arkansas
i said was introduced by Senator
Clarke, of Arkansas, ana in the house
by Representative Johnson, of Ar
kansas and reported favorably by
Representative Johnson, of Arkansas.
It had also been recommended by the
secretary of state of Arkansas,
Discussing Davis he said "He has

.the senator from Oklahoma. lie has
also forfeited his respect, and 1 want
