CLUES IN RECENT SCANDALS Conger-AIlds Controversy Re-Herred to and Insurance Revelations Are Quoted. $150,000 LOWEST FIGURE. BT ASSOCIATED PRESS. ALBANY, N. April 11.

Declaring that the revelations in the recent Allds-Conger bribery inquiry and the facts brought out in the insurance investigation by Superintendent of Insurance Hotchkiss "have caused every honest citizen to tingle wita shame and indignation and have made irresistible the demand that every proper means should be employed to purge and purify," Governor Hughes sent a special message to the Legislature tonight recommending an "immediate, impartial, thorough and unsparing investigation into legislative practices ana procedure and into the corrupt or improper means for tha promotion or defeat of legislation." Accompanying the message was a preliminary report of Superintendent Hotchkiss, outlining the facts developed at the fire insurance investigation in Jsew York, declaring that $150,000 had been spent on legislation and setting forth the difficulties encountered in following up the various leads which have been uncovered. Legislature Has Power. The superintendent says that obstacles, apparently insuperable, have developed in the course of the inquiry- These, in his judgment, warrant further investigation, but he has no power to pursue them and therefore has laid the facts thus far developed before the governor for action. The governor says in part: "It is the high privilege of the Legislature, in the discharge of its obligations to Itself and to the people of the State, to follow the salutary action already taken In its upper branch, by appropriate steps for the exposure and destruction of combinations and conspiracies against the Just use of the law-making power and by providing suitable protection against the recurrence of such abuses. This is a promising opportunity to pursue the opening trails of corruption, to reveal illicit methods and agencies, to uncover the perfidious influences, wnich have dishonored the State.

Prevention Is Demanded. "Important as will be the wholesome and corrective influence of publicity with respect to these matters, the purpose and result of inquiry extend beyond the bounds of mere disclosure. "It may be impossible wholly to eradicate these evils, but to the extent that the nature of the illicit intercourse is understood, and the methods and instrumentalities which have been successful are exposed, there may be intelligent effort at remedial action through both statutes and legislative rules. "I therefore recommend an immediate, impartial, thorough and unsparing investigation into legislative practices and procedure, and into the use of corrupt or improper means for the promotion or defeat of legislation, such inquiry not to be limited to, but suitably to embrace, the matters adduced in the recent proceeding by the Senate and those presented by the report herewith submitted of the superintendent of insurance in order that, so far as evidence may be obtainable, the actual facts may be known, that there may be a full understanding of the methods and agencies employed in connection with legislative proposals, and that well-considered recommendations for appropriate remedies may be made." How Money Was Used. Superintendent Hotchkiss, in his report, says that the result of the investigation thus far warrants the statement that legislative expenditures in Xew York by insurance companies were particularly conspicuous in the years 1901, 1903, 1S04, 1905 and 1909, and notably significant in two or three of such years.

"These disbursements," he said, "were made by individual companies in connection with legislation affecting such companies by syndicates of companies, apparently willing to do this work for all, and by the New York board of fire underwriters, a corporation supported by annual assessments on practically all of the companies doing business in New York. moneys so paid were disbursed for traveling expense of individuals and delegations, annuel and special retainers of regular counsel, so-called retainers or legislative lawyers, contributions to political committees, gifts or payments to men of political prominence and influence, and entertaining legislators and others, at times in a somewhat lavish manner. Bribery Proof Lacking. "The aggregate of disbursements of this character, as the record now stands such disbursements being largely from the treasuries of fire insurance companies-approximates and probably exceeds Superintendent Hotchkiss. summarizing says: "In short, while absolute proof showing the transit of money from the bank account of an Insurance company into the hands of the bank account of a legislator is lacking', the record of the investigation as thus far made up warrants the statement that, during the past decade, particularly in the first five years of such decade, a system of bill-killing and law-getting has existed which is a reproach to the people of the State."
