CONGER DRAGS IN
BURNETT'S NAME
Witness Identifies Envelope
That Contained $1000
Moe Gave Him. '
CHARGES WILL BE SIFTED
Republican Leaders Realize That It
Would Be Suicidal to Stifle In
vestigation Attempts Now
Made to Shift Blame.
ALBANY. X. Y.. Feb. 16. The name
on another Hiram Moe envelope was
spoken at the legislative bribery investi
gation today. The amnner of its revela
tion showed that the weight of evidence
descending alike upon Senator Ben Con
ger and Senator J. P. Allds, accuser and
accused, has driven them in desperation
to distribute the blame.
The name heard today was that of eJan
Burnett, once Assemblyman from Ontario
County, who died in Albany in the legis
lative session In 1907. The story Con
ger and Moe told last week is that the
J60nn sent to Albany by the American
Bridge Company on April 23, 1901. was
divided into three envelopes. Alls, they
say. got the first envelope, containing
J1000. The second envelope held $4000,
and the third J1000.
Burnett Gets Coin.
If the words spoken by Conger on the
stand today are true, this third envelope
was given to Burnett.
Senator Conger's assertion that the
Republican state committee got a
contribution from the bridge com
panies' "legislative protection fund" in
1902. has only . strengthened the
determination of the Republican leaders
here to extend the bribery investigation
without delay.
. In whatever way the circumstances of
the contribution during the chairmanship
of Colonel G. W. Dunn, of Binghamton,
may be explained, the party leaders here
seem to realize that It would be suicidal
to attempt to stifle investigation.
Senator Conger's ordeal before the
Senate committee of the whole was not
over when the investigation of charges
n gainst Senator J. P. Allds was taken
up today. The Allds' charges, however,
have about sunk from public attention
In the flood of more Important revela
tions. The Senate Is now expected to
hurry the Allds inquiry to its close and
then proceed to an investigation along
the lines of Conger's testimony.
Conger Identifies Check.
When the Senate Committee of the
whole took up work today. Senator New
romb called up his resolution of yester
day, providing that the S-nate take up
Bt the close of the present inquiry, the
Investigation of legislative corruption, so
far as the bridge companies might be
:oncerned. A motion by Senator Grady
that it be laid upon the table where it
rould be called up at anv time, was car
ried. On taking the stand. Senator Conger
identified a check of the Groton Bridge
Company and was turned over to Allds
attorney for cross-examination. He was
questioned by Mr. Carr. who developed
the fact that the Conger family, during
the last 10 years had controlled or pos
sessed a heavy interest in several Groton
enterprises. In several of these, Hiram
G. Moe had held stock.
The witness said he was vice-president
of the Groton Bridge Company,
and his brother. Jay Conger,- was its
president. The $100,000 stock was now
controlled by the Conger family.
The Groton Bridge Company is the
member of the bridge-builders' combine
which Conger testified yesterday hand
led the so-called legislative corruption
fund raised by bridge people in 1903.
Conger was asked why he considered
the original Stevens bill of 1901 ad
verse to the bridge interests. It was
known, the Senator said, that under it
the State Engineer's department would
design such heavy bridges that the
towns would refuse to build them. Con
ger admitted he had told the members
tff the committee why they should not
report the bill favorably.
TOO MANY TO KE.MEMBKK
Hx-Cliairiuaii of Republican Com
mittee Can't Recall Fund.
GLHXN9 FAI.1A X. Y., Feb. 16. "One
thousand contributions were turned over
to me. and the bridge companies might
have been one. .so I am in no position to
say whether sucli contribution was made
or not," said George "W. Dunn, former
chairman of the State Republican Com
mittee, when questioned today about the
evidence given by Senator Conger in the
Allds alleged bribery hearing before the
6enate at Albany, yesterday.
FAIR BUILDING BURNED
(Continued From First Pace.)
tower of the building had fallen with
a crash. The fire appeared to start in
-the center of the building, and burned
both ways until the entire structure
lay flat on the ground a smouldering
mass of ruins.
Within a few minutes after the first
alarm went in a second alarm was
eounded from box 91, at the North Pa
cific Lumber Mill. This brought out
additional apparatus.
But the isolation of the building ren
dered the firemen helpless. The bridge
"Which formerly spanned. Guilds Iake,
running from the hinnton road to the
Government building, has been partly
torn out, so that no fire-fighting ap
paratus could be sent that way.
Roads Bar Apparatus.
The . road by way of the North Pacific
lumber mill is also Impassable to heavy
apparatus, the railroad being graded four
feet above the road at the crossing. It
wes impossible for the Hreboat to steam
near enough to the blaze to stretch a line
of hose to It and even if this could have
been done, the tire ha1 gained such
lieadway before the alarm wa? turned
In that efforts to save the building were
almost upeless. It is more than a mile
to the nearest box.
The old model life-saving Motion on the
west side of the Island did not burn, as
a plight breeze was? blowing from the
nouthwest, carrying the flames away
from the buildings. The wind also car
ried pparks away from the inflammable
material of the North Pacific mill, the
day's rain also lessening the danger that
any part of the mill property would take
flre. Assistant Chief Young, who re
mained a-t the scene of the fire until
early this morning, sent his men after a
number of buckets, however, as a pre
caution. Buckets were the only fire
flghting apparatus1 which could be used,
owing to the location of the building.
The wings of the building were the last
to go. but aa they were connected with
e main building by e. eemi-circle of pil
lars, which caught fire after the main
building went down, it was impossible
to prevent their complete destruction. At
first they took fire on the ends, but as
the heat became greater, the glass roofs
began to crack and of a sudden a great
burst of flame shot up through this space,
roaring like a great furnace, and casting
a livid glare over the smoke-covered
heavens.
Lake Reflects Flames.
A few members of crowd braved the
mud and J.he drizzling rain and walked
the mile or more necessary to reach the
blazing building from the nearest van
tage point on the south side of the lake.
But for the most part the crowd was con
tent to watch the conflagration from
across the lake, in which the flames
were reflected.
The building, originally built by the
Government, was since sold under con
tract, with a number of other buildings,
to Lafe , Pence, who was to move them
from the property. Later. Mr. Pence gave
up his contract and the buildings revert
ed to the owners of the property, in this
instance going to the Amanda W. Reed
estate. The structure, a flimsy stucco
building, was regarded as of small value
save for the sum which would be gained
from wrecking it.
STRUCTURE BEST OF ITS TYPE
Government Building Outshone All
Other Fair Federal EdiTices.
The Government building at the Lewis
PROMINENT FIGURES
and Clark Fair was the most beautiful
from an architectural standpoint and the
most elaborately constructed edifice ever
built by the Federal Government for any
exposition. It wis so declared by Su
pervising Architect Taylor, of the Treas
ury Department, who designed it, as well
as the Federal buildings at other expo
sitions.
The Government buildings at both the
Chicago and St. Louis fairs were erected
at a greater cost, but neither was more
beautiful or elaborate. It was only after
a hard season of lobbying in Washington
that the appropriation for the building and
exhibits, aggregating $475,000. was ob
tained. Had it not ben at the time, it
was said, for the personal interest which
President Roosevelt manifested, the bill
might not have been passed by Congress.
Sieaker Cannon also was enlisted in the
fight and aided in securing the passage of
the bill.
At that time the lower house of Con
gress was articularly anxious to cut down
the appropriations. And what was more
inimical to the interests of the measure
was a growing inclination on the part of
Representatives to cease the practice of
aiding local enterprises of that nature.
Of the total amount of the appropria
tion. $L'35.4S2 was the amount named in
the contract for the" erection of the build
ing. The remainder was used in placing
the exhibit and maintaining it.
The contract for its erection was
awarded to J. E. Bennett, a Portland
contractor, October 19. 1904. It was just
about this time that E. Lazarus, the
Government construction superintendent
on the Pacific Coast, resigned, and El
mer N. Ball, of Indiana, was appointed to
the position. He supervised the work of
construction. Mr. Ball was also the su
pervising architect for the Custom-house
here.
The Government building at' the Lewis,
and Clark Fair was generally pronounced
to be the most pleasing in appearance
and the most impressive in its outline
and general plan of construction of any
other Federal buildings at expositions.
The building was in reality a grouping of
four separate structures, thrown togeth
er by a clever architectural arrange
ment. It was located in the peninsula directly
facing the main part of the exposition.
The type throughout was Spanish of the
Renaissance period. In the center was the
main building. 240x360 feet in ground
floor dimensions. It was surmounted by
an arched roof 130 feet above the ground.
An immense skylight constituted the
central portion of the roof, the remainder
being tiled. Toward either end of the
main building and on a line with the
front, were two immense towers -60 feet
in height, while either end was finished
off in semi-domes, giving a great alcove
effect to the interior.
Fifty 40-foot arches adorned the front,
of the building, each containing a spa
cious entrance. Between the arches were
Immense Corinthian columns 44 feet in
height. At the base of each of the two
towers was a fountain containing an or
namental statue of heroic size. The
building was extensively decorated during
the fair, provision being made in the
plans for numerous flags and banners on
the roof. , Much ornamental work all
over the building was likewise provided
for.
The floor of the main building was 60
feet above the ground. Towards the ends
of the main building the smaller struc
tures were located, being 80 by 160 feet
in ground floor dimensions. Each was
connected with the main structure by
ornamental peristyles, giving the impres
sion from across the lake of separate
buildings, spreading out over an immense
territory. The building on the right con
tained the fishery exhibits, while the one
on the left was devoted to. the Alaskan
and Oriental exhibits. From the extreme
end of the Alaska building to the oppo
site extreme of the fishery building was
a distance of 92S feet, the peristyles giv
ing the impression from a close view
of one immense building. The peristyles
were lined by two rows of Ionip columns
and surmounted by ornamental cornices.
The smaller buildings were less ornate
than the main building, but the Renais
sance type was fully carried out. The
peristyles were open and were us.rl as
passageways only.
Behind the fishery building and to
the right of the main building was B
separate- structure 63 by 198 feet. It
was given over to the forestry and irri
gation exhibits.
Directly in front of the main build
ing was a sunken garden, largely occu
pied by a pool 170 hry 450 feet. The pool
was on a level 12 feet below the floor
of the main building.

cases, two of the most important cases
of the kind in the history of Illinois
litigation.
After three trials In the Dewitt
County Court and two hearings in the
Supreme Court, Richard Snell wins in
the contest to break the will of his fa
ther. Colonel Thomas Snell. the eccen
tric millionaire of Clinton. ,
The Supreme Court today affirmed
the judgment of the Circuit Court of
Dewitt County. The lower court had
held in favor of Richard Snell, who had
been disinherited. The Supreme Court
holds that Colonel Snell was influenced
against his son when he made his will,
which was in favor of his grand-niece,
Mrs. Mabelle, Snell McNamara, of Kan
sas City. v
The other case decided is that of
John Warner, father of ex-Commissioner
of Pensions Vespasian Warner. The
amount involved is estimated at $1,600,
000. John Warner was twice married. He
had two children by his first wife and
two by his second. Prior to his mar
riage to his second wife he entered into
an ante-nuptial contract whereby at his
death she was to receive a nominal
sum. After his death, she went into
court and asked that the ante-nuptial
contract be set aside.
On trial of the case to set aside the
contract, sensational evidence was in
troduced, in whlen it was alleged that
the second wife had negro blood in her
veins. But the trial court set aside the
contract, and its Judgment was affirmed
by the Supreme Court.
The effect of the decision is that four
children share equally in the estate,
with the exception that the widow
gets her dower share and the trust is
continued.
TYPOS' LIBRARY BLEST
AIIITIOX TO PRINTERS HOME
IS DEDICATED.
Speakers Extol Colorado Springs In
stitution President Lynch
Main Orator.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.. Feb. 16.
At the Union Printers' Home today
the library addition to that institution
was formally dedicated. The Union
Printers' Home is the only institution
of its kind in the world conducted by
a trade union for the benefit of its
Indigent and sick members. The value
of the property is estimated at $1,000,
000, and the addition that was dedi
cated today cost $30,000. Tt houses the
Home's magnificent collection of books
12,000 volumes. Among the speakers
were Mayor Avery, of this city, a rep
resentative of the local typographical
union, a representative of the Ienver
Typographical Union and President
James M. Lynch, of the International
Typographical Union. The exercises
were attended by a large number of
people. President Lynch made the
principal address, and, among, other
things, said:
"The history of the library addition
is typical of the history of the entire
institution. An insignificant collection
of books of a few hundred volumes
has grown to more than 10,000 volumes.
A room, commodious and up-to-date
was needed to house the collection..
The requirements of the home, purely
domestic in their nature, demanded ad
ditional room and modern utensils.
The great need was made known to our
membership. Immediately the money
necessary,-voluntarily contributed, be
gan to pour in until the amount in
hand was sufficient to warrant the
board of trustees in undertaking the
actual' work of construction. Today
we are dedicating the new addition
that, aside from this beautiful library
room in which we are assembled, has
given the home an enlarged dining
room, additional storerooms. new
kitchen, serving-rooms. bakery, cold
storage plant, etc. And all pf this, in
cluding the home itself, has been con
structed and is. being maintained by
the union printers of this continent,
who have their own private responsi
bilities, cares and duties, but who,
notwithstanding. . find a way to con
tribute something each month toward
the solace, comfort and happiness of
their brothers in distress.
"But the benefaction of the Interna
tional Typographical Union are not
confined to this institution. It is but
one of its broad, liberal and unselfish
policies. For years we have paid a
death benefit, a fund for which has
been contributed to and maintained by
the membership. Two years ago we
Inaugurated a pension fund, under the
rules of which any member attaining
the age of 60 years, with a continuous
membership of 20 year's, and unable to
secure employment at Wie trade, or by
reason of physical incapacity work at
the trade, is entitled to a pension of $4
per week for the remainder of life.
At present we have 650 of these pen
sioners and there is a balance in this
fund of $240,000. thus guaranteeing its
stability and permanence. Aged and
infirm members of the International
Typographical I.nlon do not become
public charges. We care for our own.
"Iet me ask you to consider, in con
nection with what we do, the assaults
and the vilification indulged in by the
enemies of the trade unions, who seek
to prejudice the public by false or dis
torted statements, or manufactured
evidence. All of the great internation
al unions with which I am acquainted,
and an experience of 20 years gives me
some right to . speak, have beneficial
features. On the other hand, have you
ever heard , of a home in which a non
union workman may spend his declin
ing years, other than the poorhouse?
Have you ever heard of sanatorium
erected for the especial use and treat
ment of the non-union workman who
may be afflicted with tuberculosis or
other disease? Have you ever heard
of a pension fund for the non-union
workman which is his as a right, be
cause he conceived and maintained It?"
PROMOTERS RAISE CRY

STOCKS SELL AT lAIt.
Objection liaised Against Adminis
tration Measure .' Introduced
by Townsend.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. The prohibi
tion contained in the administration bill
introduced by Representative Townsend
against promoters of new transportation
lines selling their stock at lfss than par.
found strenuous opponents today among
railroad and steamship men before the
House committee on interstate and for
eign commerce.
President Barrett, president of the
Phillipsburg and Susquehanna Railroad,
declared it would retard the undeveloped
sections of the country and prevent any
new railroad project fiom being started
or completed, for it was a practical im
possibility to sell the stock of a new
concern at anywhere near par.
Mr. Barrett believed promoters of new
lines should be allowed to inflate their
securities to a certain extent "In order to
give the men who risk their money a
fair return for their enterprise."
Various repres3ntatlves of steamship
and navigation companies declared it
would be a great hardship to bring the
business of water transportation under
the supervision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. They declared it
would ultimately force them to sell out
to the railroad companies.

Stubbs Says S. P. and -U. P. ,
Do Not Really Compete.
LOCAL WATER ROUTE BEST
Oregon Transportation Company
Left Alone, Xcw Business Sought,
Testifies Harrinian Chief. I
Government Assails Eigures.
NEW YORK. Feb. 16. J. C. Stubbs.
general traffic director, and J. Spencer,
Eastern general freight manager for the
Harrinian lines, testified today that there
was no real competition between the
Southern and Union Pacific railroads
prior to their amalgamation in 1901 by
the late K. H. Hariman.
The United States Government is suing
for a dissolution of the Harrinian merger,
on grounds that the roads are competing
lines, barred by Federal statute from
uniting to eliminate competition.
In support of his contention that two
lines could serve the same terminals and
not compete for business, Mr. Stubbs
cited the traffic over the Shasta route
(Southern Pacific) and the Oregon Trans
portation TTompany. a water route be
tween San Francisco and Portland. The
steamship service, he said, was better
than the railroad service, except that it
was not daily, and the railroad, in Its
growth. J,ok nothing from the steamship
line, butorlginated new business. There
fore the two lines did not compete, he
said.
"We made -an effort to get some of this
business." said Mr. Stubbs, "but we gave
it up and qtiit, and that was before the
merger."
South Trade Important.
Mr. Spender testified that the Southern
Pacific never had been a serious factor
in the 'coast to coast trade. It was the
volume of business originating in the
South and Southeast, he said, that made
the "Sunset Route" (Southern Pacific) a
factor in California."
The business of the Southern Pacific
between the Atlantic seaboard and Port
land, Or., for 1900. he said, was only f16 of
1 per cent of the company's total, the
Colorado-Utah business only .53 of 1 per
cent and the Asiatic business of the com
pany over the same route only .05 of 1
per cent.
C A. Severance, for the Government,
offered a formal objection to these fig
ures when he got the witness to admit
that they were supplied to him by an
auditor, and that he could not swear
personally to their accuracy.
Stubbs Gives Eigures..
Mr. Stubbs compared figures show
ing the business of several Pacific
Coast lines prior to the merger. As an
example, he stated that in 1901 the ton
nage of the Oregon Transportation
Company, the water r.oute between San
Francisco and Portland, was 7323 tons,
with a revenue of $217,000. and that of
the Southern Pacific between the same
points was 2156 tons, with $110,000 rev
enue. Kdwin Hawley's name was brought Into
the testimony when Stubbs declared that,
in his opinion, there was no real com
petition between the Union Pacific and
the Southern Pacific's Gulf route to
points In Colorado and Utah.
Attorney Severance, for the Govern
ment, called Mr. Stubbs' attention to the
fact that Mr. Hawley had declared, when
a witness, that the Colorado and Utah
business was as eagerly sought by the
Southern Pacific as the Union Pacific.
"Mr. Hawley is a competent man. but
I don't think he understands what the
term 'competition' means. If k he had
thought a moment he would not have an
swered that way," said Mr. Stubbs.
Kate War "Foolish."
Reverting to the Portland-San Fran
cisco traffic. Mr. Stubbs said the one
time passenger rate war was "foolish
and Inexcusable except as an advertise
ment for the Shasta Route."
"We have made all the business we
have," the witness continued. "We
haven't taken trade from any one. We
have created tiie business. The boats
have as much trade as they ever had.
We have spent a lot of money advertis
ing the Shasta Route $100,000 in one
year. We seek to create new busi
ness." "Do you know another place in the
United States where there is a similar
situation and no competition between
boats and railroad lines?"
"Yes; there is no 'competition with
our steamship line to New Orleans,'" re
plied Mr. Stubbs.
