FOUND GUILTY Kew York State Senate Sustains Brib- ery Charge Against Him by Decisive Vote. HE TENDERS HIS RESIGNATION Timely Action Saves Him from Being Ousted from Office.

Allds went to his home in Norwich tonight & private citizen, branded as a bribetaker by his former collegues in the senate and | by his own act no longer a member of | ? body. Semator Conger, who filed the | arges sgainst Alids, stayed here tonight. | The battel that confronts Conger is no | longer to prove his charges. To this extent | the senate vindicated him today when | forty of its forty-nine members voted that the charges had been sustained by the evidence brought befors thm. It is belleved that Conger came to the senate today prepared to reslgn as soon as he recelved this vindication. However, he did not resign and developments make 1t likely that he will not do so. The cause of this is & resolution Introduced by Sen- | ator Cobb, the majority leader, providing | for the appointment of a commities to pre- | sent to the senate charges against Conger, | “growing out of his connection with legls- lation and the use of funds to influence the members of the legislature or other | porsons with reference thereto.” | Bven Conger's enemies admit that he is @ fighter and the bellof is that he will | oppose this attempt to deprive him of office a4 vigorously and with as free an | expenditure of money as he attacked | Allds, | The Cobb resolution was referred to the judielary committee.

WASHINGTON, March 2.—Bulletin No. 5 of the United States Burewu of Labor is devoted to a presentation of the labor. lation, of the country duging the, last twd years. Prior legisiation of thigesort is col- lected in the twenty-second annual report of the commissioner of labor, this bulletin being, in effect, a supplement to that report. Besides a reproduction of the laws, the bulletin presents a review of the principal features of- the statutes of 1908 and ‘1908 The tendency of labor legislation to com- form to a standard, which is being raised from year to year, and a consequent in- creasing uniformity in the provisions of such legislation are clearly in e$dence.
