the :ate Assemblyman Paiaett. The bill
was considered first by the Committee, on
Internal Affairs, and was taken in chars*
by t!ie Rules Committee before the session

Th» Committee on Internal Affairs was
composed of the following members, not

Popular interest in the trial increases as
new sensations are disclosed. Both visitors*
galleries overlooking the scene of the in

foot of standing room back of the rail on
the Senate floor ha? had Its occuiiant. State
officials and department employe? drop In
whenever opportunity affords, and mem
bers of the Assembly hurry over to the

Women of social prominence, apparently
fascinated by the unfolding evidence, flock
to the Capitol day v after day, occupying
seats at the right and left of The rostrum.
The doorways are black with those unable
to gain admission, and fresh air Is at a
rremium, for there are few audience hall?

CONGER ON DEFENCE.
Think* Allds Will Try to Drag
Him Down.
■ ;n.- T->p'-ap>i to The TriSunt-3
Auburn, N. V . Feb. 30.— Senator Conger
was asked to-day what defence he thought
Senator Alidi? would make.
•I suppose ■"•• will try to drag me down,
too." replied Senator Conger.
"Some people think the '"■ :'<■ giver as bad
as the bribe taker," suggested the reporter.
Senator Conger laughed and said that the
pj-pj^.i-it ,1-- was Be of blackmail. He
called attention to a cUpping that discussed
the Allds case from both sides as bribery
and referred to Section 1 of Article 13 of
the State Constitution, which provides that
one who testifies that he has given a bribe
to an official shall not be liable to civil or
criminal prosecution therefor. The infer
ence v.as that the constitution gave im
munity even to the giver in •he case of
bribery, while in blackmail there was no
moral onus to bear heavily on the informer.
"I got tired of this regular hold-up." said
Mr. Conger, "and En l!>05 I objected at the
conference of bride" builders. As the repre
sentative of the Groton and Canton com
panies I refused to go on paying. Some
wanted to go on sad some did not. I in
sisted I would not, and the meeting ended
without anything being done. Then they
passed the hi!l."

•'Frank never had any children, and as

MISS CLERK'S DEATH

Santa Barbara. Cal.. Feb. 20.— Francis
Randolph' Fry. 'th* English chocolate manu
facturer, and Ills wife, who brought to
America Miss Lucille Clerk, the woman
whose mysterious death in New York is the
subject of investigation, made a statement
to-day, giving it as their opinion that she
was neither murdered nor committed sui
cide, but died from ptomaine poisoning.
The ' Frys' -statement follows:
Miss Clerk whs twenty-eight years old.
She a? th daughter of an English surgeon

ins the Clerks, at Prestonpans, Scotland.

pierk iras not rich, but had a small in
come ■ Her cousins are intimate friends of
Mrs -Fry who met Lucille for the first time
last June in England. Mr. Fry. v.-ho is
wealthy and a great traveller, invited the
girl to come to America with them, and
paid her passage. Miss Clerk had always
wanted to visit America, and this was her
first, trip. She was not connected with any
lawsuit in Los Angeles and knew no one
in America except those persons in New
York to whom Mrs. Fry introduced her.
She. was an unusually beautiful woman.
While poor. she was of good family. She
was a great out-of-doors girl, a notable
golfer, rode to hounds, and was a fine lin
guist.
The Frys stayed in New York only a
week, and reached Ban Francisco in Sep
tember. Miss Clerk remained in New Tort
to see more of her American friends. She
was delighted with -America, was almost
always in high spirits, and readily made
friends by her attractive personality. Her
brothers are in the Civil vice in India,
and she expected to visit them soon after
her return to England. While she had let
ters to seme New Yorkers, all those men
tioned in the New York dispatches were
persons she met through the Frys. Mrs.
.Fry is a California girl, while Mr. Fry has
been to America thirty-two times. The
Frys are on their way to Japan, hut will
stay in Santa Barbara until June. Miss
Clerk was to have joined them here on
their invitation, and expected to stay six
weeks and then go back to New York and
England. .
The Pits left her in capital spirits. Last
v.eek Mrs. Fry received a letter saying
thai Miss Clerk had decided it was hardly
worth the -forty or fifty pounds" to make
the trip to California for such a short stay,
and that she would therefore remain in
New York until June. It was only three
days ago that the Frys last heard from
her, and she seemed at the time to be
happy.

PRIMARY FIGHT ON
Continued from tlrtt page.
primary legislation and so continue your
breach with the Governor on this matter
which he considers so important?"
That question, in practically that form.
has been the chief object of discussion
by many party leaders recently. It has
been Calked over by Lloyd C. Griscom.
of New York, and Fred Gainer, of Erie.
It has been considered at Washington
and in New York by Hughes men, and
at Albany and other places by the
Wadsworth-Barnes- Woodruff group, who
fought the Governor on this and other
reforms. Governor Hughes himself has
given it much serious thought.
Men who are entirely in the confidence
of Governor Hughes say that he will be
most unlikely to make any campaign of
speaking for his direct primary bill this
year, as he did last year. His announce
ment that he would in no circumstances
be a candidate for Governor again prac
tically determined that. He has made
known his views on this question, so
th.re can be no mistake about them; he
has given his personal retention to a bill
now pending so that it would be in the
best possible shape. He considers now
that the Legislature must act. and the
party having the majority in the Legis
lature must bear the responsibility . for
whatever action \s taken. ,
This decision does riot mean in any
sense that the Governor is holding him
self aloof and refusing to take any
further interest in the outcome. That is
far from the truth. He feels that he. as
Governor, has done all he can do. He,
as Charles K. Hughes, a Republican
with the party's interest deeply at heart,
unquestionably will continue to confer
with party leaders and legislators who
ilesire to know his views, and will do
whatever he may to rehabilitate the
party before the public.
The politics of the situation here is
apparent. The Governor's bill has the
approval of a large number of voters of
both parties. The Governor's personal
prestige and the respect and affection
for him of the public can be made, in
the opinion of progressive Republicans,
the means of winning party victory next
fall ii" the party organization follows his
lead now and cleans house thoroughly.
That, in effect, would mean the adoption
substantially of his direct primary bill,
of adequate legislation for the state
supervision of telephone and telegraph
companies, ballot reform legislation and
tin- enactment of laws for the proper
conservation <>i the state's resources, fol
lowed by a reorganization of the Repub
lican party's political machinery.
PRETENCE BY DEMOCRATS,
<mi the other hand, the Democratic
party, though Somewhat torn by internal
warfare, is making » pretence of ac
quiescing in the public demand for the
direct primary. its leaders in the two
houses have Introduced, and . doubtless
will prcsH. a so-called direct primary hill
of the most plausible character- war
ranted to be the finest kind of a cam
paign vote catcher. Republicans of all
shades of belief virtually concede that
this Legislature dare not adjourn, in <h>
face of that bill, without enacting some
kind Of direct primary, legislation. So
almost the only Question remaining is
as to the character of such legislation.
At that point the question becomes
one wholly for the legislative and party
leaders, so far as Governor Hughes Is
concerned. His friends say he has tbM
liveliest knowledge that the party lead
ers must conduct the neNt campaign, and
that it will have (" be conducted on the
record of the present administration and
the actions of the present Legislature
Because of that, he will not make any
active campaign for his own hill. He

principle. But farsoeins politicians
say Governor Hughes's direct personal
aid on the stump is necessary to the
party in the next state campaign. They
therefore take it for granted that
Speaker Wadsworth must surrender hi?
personal opinions for the "larger -rood"
at this time. Hitherto Speaker Wads
worth has proved extremely tenacious
of his opinions and has 5 fought in very
practical political style for them in the
lower house. The direct primary advo
cates in both houses are not even con
sidering what treatment the Governor
might give to a "compromise bill" on this
subject. They are organizing quietly in
support of the Hinman-Green bill and
intend to press that measure with every
bit of power they can command.
