The defendant was under (Ire alt day exccpt for a brief respite when his attorneys recalled Cashier (Sale, of the Groton National llank. to im peach Iliram G. Moo. Conger's coun sel spent all their time in assaulting the accused Senator's character. In addition to probing hin connection with the purchase of forrat lands, (h? object of a separate investigation re cently launched by Governor Hughes, they delved into AUds' bank accounts and tried to prove that $2000 which he sent to his New York City brokers ten days after lie was alleged to have received the $1000 brlhe in i?0i could not be traced to an Innocent source. They also arraigned him for investing .in the stock of the New York Transportation Company short ly before he helped pass a bill which benefited that corporation and raised the value of its sharer. Allds testified that the New York Transportation stock was bought for him through former Assemblyman Frank J. Price and the latter's father, Colonel Price, and paid for. $.10U~fiT April and $730.70 In July of 1909.

Once he said In a low tone ae Attorney Osborne, the prose cutor, came near him: "Now. Jim, you're hitting below the belt." Allds had already testified that he was employed for five years to search titles of land bought by the State for the Adirondack preserve, receiving about $16,000. in all for his services. Osborne questioned him about the State's purrhase of land from William Harris, of Northvllle. "Don't you know that this land was ?old to the State by Harris for $6 an acre after he had paid fifty cents an acre for It?" asked Osborne. 'Allds replied that his business was to pais on the validity of the title, and not on the laud's value. The examination was interrupted by Senator Orady, who declared that ft had no bearing on the question at Issue. "I intend to show." added Osborne, "that he (Allds) was hound to discov er in searching the titles (hat this land was recently acquired and not worth the price paid by the State." "The Governor hais appreciated that this question Is not germane to this case," declared Grady, "and has or dered Investigation in this particular matteprf* f Osborne withdrew his question, but made Allds admit that, as chairman of the Assembly Ways and Means Committee, he had.

Servants were never harder to get In Montciair and other North Jersey towns than now, and it is psserted here that the servant problem ia more vital to the well-being of the country than the suffrage question.

The problem of obtaining and keep ing feminine help 1b most trying to the wives of commuters who live on salaries of from $2000 to (5000 a year. They cannot compete with the high wages offered by the wives of wealthier men. and the servant girls go to the placcs where the most money is paid, notwithstanding that the general conditions in more hum* ble homes may be more congenial.
