Osborne, Counsel For Accusing Senator, Declares That Bridge Companies Raised Corruption Fund. Albany, X. Y Feb. 10. It is posi tively stated that the efforts of Repub lican senate leaders to Ueep secret tlie names of tlie legislators who got $5, 000 of the Conner bribe fund will prove futile and that even if Scnntor Bonn Conger or Hiram G. Jloe arc not asked for the names while they are on the witness stand they will be made known nevertheless. Two of the alleged receivers of bribes are assem blymen now dead. Until today It was generally sup posed that the $4,000 envelope was handed to a very prominent member of the assembly, but it now appears that lie got one of the $1,000 envelopes and Senator Allds the other, while the JAMES W. OSBORNE. He Is Chief Counsel For Con ger In Senate Bribery Inquiry. $4,000 envelope went to nn individual an assemblyman, who divided it among some of his colleagues. It Is also Inti mated that besides this $0,000 there wns another $1,000 involved in this transaction nnd that members of the assembly were not the only ones who participated in the distribution. Hiram G. Moe, the ngent of the Conger brothers in the bribing of Senator Allds, continued on the wit ness stand under the cross examina tion of Martin W. Littleton of counsel for Senator Allds. Mr Littleton went sharply nt the witness as to the extent of his knowl edge that Allds nnd the two other assemblymen were bribed by the Con ner $0,000 fund. Mr. Littleton asked him if he thought he was doing an honest act when he lugged a boodle fund to Al bany to bribe legislators. Mr. Moe uld It never occurred to him that he was a party to nny bribery proceed ing. He brought the money to Henn Conger's room on the morning of April 23, 1001, and at the lutter's direction, witness said, he put money in three envelopes first the $4,000 parcel, then the two envelopes containing $1,000 each. "And yon mean to say that you tucked these envelopes carefully In your pocket nnd went to the capltol with Henn Conger, not knowing the purpose for which this money was to be paid?" asked Mr. Littleton. Mr, Moe professed that he did not know. "Didn't It ever occur to you or your conscience when you were handing out $0,000 what the jnouey wns for?" insisted Mr. Littleton. Mr. Moe said: "I wondered." Mr. Littleton had Moe describe hU visit to the capltol with Henn Conger on the eventful morning the legislative session of 1001 wound up. Mr. Moe told of going to the nssenibly entrance nnd handing the $4,000 envelope to the member designated on the envel ope; then going to the corridor front ing the assembly room with the second envelopo nnd Anally belug Introduced to Senator Allds by Senator Conger nnd of the trio proceeding around the jissemhly corridor to the ways nnd means epinmitteo room. During Moe's recital of his distribu tion of the three envelopes tho Identity of the member alleged to hnvu been given the second $1,000 envelope wan nearly revealed. Mr. Osborno lnter oosed an objection iu time to prevent Mon from giving that nwny, nun wns not followed up. Moo said he never knew that the $0,000 of the $0,500 Frank Conger had sent down for Henn to have distribut ed in the assembly wns for bribery purposes until Henn told Moc that was the purpose while Moe and Henn were on their way home to Groton. Asked If It was the bridge compa nies' money or Frank Conger's money tha Moo took to Albany, witness said he wasn't sure, but thought It was the bridge companies'. "Isn't it n fact," asked Mr. Llttle nn "that th bridge comoanles mot In Syracuse In 1001 and raised n corrup tion fund?" Mr. Osborne jumped up and object ed, but Mr. Moo had already an swered: ."1 uever heard of it in my life." Mr. Osborne then said. "I think I would be prepared to concede that a corruption fund was raised." lie ad mitted that the bridge companies had raised a corruption fund, but said it was raised at Syracuse in 1003 and not in 1001. "Yon mean that Senator Conger's companies raised the corruption fund?" continued Mr. Littleton. "Oh, I will give you tlie names of all of them in It if you wnnt me to," replied Mr. Osborne. , AFTER COLD STORAGE MEN. New Jersey Judge Charges Hudson County Grand Jury on Conspiracy. Jersey City, .

DEFENDS ROMAN METHODISTS Says It Is Hard Task to Justify Pope's Action In Refusing to Receive Former Vice Presi dent Fairbanks. Washington, Feb. 10. In a vigorous Interview here the Itight Hev. Karl Cranston, bishop of the Methodist F.plscopal church, takes Issue with statements made by Archbishop Ire land growing out of the refusal of the pope to grant an audience to former Vice President Chnrles W. Fairbanks. He denies emphatically some of the archbishop's statements with refer ence to it he work of tho Methodist Kplscopal church In Home. "I have read what Archbishop Ire land had to say of the Fairbanks Inci dent," snld Hlshop Cranston, "and he is doubtless the best man who could have been put forward to save the pope's face In this country. If he had been pope at Home he would probably have managed better than the present Incumbent. "In his attempt to square the beha vior of the pontiff with American Ideas of religious tolerance the arch bishop has a hard task, but he ought to know that to say 'You're another' j and to start east with doubled lists lsj not the dignified way to go about it. 1 It will not sntlsfy fair minded Amerl-1 cans to say that Mr. Fairbanks was to . ... . . , ... ., mmii-an u iifiuiftuij ui iit'i milium nuic-i ., , , - , , tics on Sunday and therefore could not be received by the pope on Mon- day. for, the archbishop's word to the , ' .. .

Kven had they been a dlsrepu-i table lot to whom Mr. Fairbanks sjioke, the precedents of the Vatican do not Indicate that high moral tests nrn invariably applied to persons who nre granted audience at the Vatican. Mr. Fairbanks both taught and exem-1 pllfled true Catholicity. "Nor will It do to say that for the pontiff to have received the distin guished American under the circum stances even as they are narrated by the archbishop would have meant an Indorsement of the 'pernicious' propa ganda of that 'Methodist association.' "Millions of Americans firmly be lieve that the Roiimn hierarchy has used not merely 'pernicious,' but cruel and pitiless, ways of making and hold ing proselytes, but what American ever dreamed that when a president of the republic received nn archbishop, a cardinal or even a papal legate In audience that he was thereby sanc tioning the teaching or preaching or methods of the papal prognuda or giving countenance, say, to the claims of the papacy, which conlllct with the kingdom of Italy, or to the pope's con tention with France? "If the archbishop's reasoning Is valid, diplomacy must at once ex clude many people who have been fre quent callers at the White nouse lest offense be given to friendly nations. "Hut the Vatican sends out a new explanation. The pope ennnot receive any one, however distinguished, who docs not while in Home behave ns a Catholic. That Is consistent. In words nt least, as Home understands them. And the pontiff Is said to regret Soth Low's too early backsliding In speak ing to a Protestant nssenibly after be ing received. Could he have been properly advised?" Discussing Archbishop Ireland's charge that the methods of tho Meth odists In carrying on the work In Home nre "dishonorable." Hlshop Cranston said: "I challenge him to give specific data. Wo will agree to match every specification with counter evldenco to show that Home does not know the meaning of the word the archbishop has so glibly used when proselyting methods are fairly compared. Tho short of It all is that tho Methodist Kplscopal church has dared Invade papal countries with Protestant Ideas." With reference to the allegation that Methodist Italian literature la full of misrepresentations, Hlshop Cranston said that tho Methodist board of for eign missions would not put out a false representation of any system.
