PEOBE BJTO RECEIVEES
UNUSUAL INQUIRY OX.
Experts Examining Papers in Jqline-
Robinson A ppoin t men is.
Handwriting experts acting for the Attorney Gen
eral «ad Herbert K. Limburfr, of counsel for th«
state, receivers for the New York City Railway
and the Metropolitan Street Railway, examined
minutely yesterday all papers in the proceedings
in which Adrian 11. Joline and Douglas Robin
son were appointed receivers for those roads by
Judse Lavoeaahe in the Cnated States Circuit Court.
This unusual proceeding aroused much specula
tion. Neither the Attorney General nor Mr. Urn
burp would say definitely what object they had
in ear. It is known, though, that ■ part of
their campaign to oust the federal receivers from
possession of the properties of the companies will
be an attempt jo prove that their appointment
•was the result of collusion.
Mr. Limburs has received an Informal report
:>' n: tlje experts, which he has transmitted to the
Attorney General. Whether or not it helps out
li!s case he will not say. Bo important does li«
consider a settlement of the questions which he
obtained the experts to Investigate that lie an
nounced he would pply to Judg I^tcombe to-day,
for pt-rmission to photograph some of the papers
on file in the Circuit Court.
The lawyer, accompanied by "William J. Kinsley,
who has done a gTeat Ufall of work as a handwrit
ing expert, and another expert named Osbora,
cal!e<i en Clerk Shields, of the Circuit Court, yes
terday for permission to examine every one of the
papers in the receivership proceedings. Together the
lawyer and the expert went over each page of each
document, usin^ a masnifyins plass. They com
pared the Quality of the papers ■« in the carious
documents, scrutinizing the watermarks and mak
ing notes of their conclusions. Of course, the docu
ments were typewritten, and thus offered no Blar
ine points of distinction. The Bearchens, though.
examined -with great care certain interlineations.
mmparinf: them as they appeared in the different
documents. After they had completed this work
they called for the court dockets. These contained
■she entries of the various papers in the case as
they wre fiied. and wore in tlv handwriting of
different clerks la the court. Nevertheless, they
wr* scrutinized in every detail.
From the Federal Building the lawyer and the
experts Meat to the office of Attorney General
je."'K-"-.. where Mr. I.:mV>ur • told the Attorney
General what their scrutiny of the papers had dis
ck>.<*d. That official would say nothing about th«
work. Mr. laihlin. though, showed how impor
tant they consider it when h^ declared that be had
summoned Mr. Kinsley from Mississippi in a hurry
to take a >" : in '■'"■■ examination of the | pen.
"In looking over the papers. did you see any
thinc to support a theory that th-re had been
conastos in any part of the receivership proceed-
InssT' Mr. Limbursr was asked.
•1 win have, nothing to say at thai time," he
rrplied. "until l have received a report from the
experts. 1 expect to get that on Wednesday. l do
rot say, meantime, that I have any suspicions.
The matter is in such shape that thing can be
paid. 1 bjb frank to confess that the experts hay
••■!•! me they were not competent to answer at
least one of the questions 1 have put to them."
••v\"a.« that concerning the water marks and the
P'-r.eral character of the paper on which these
documents' were written?"
"Thf re BSalB I have nothinß to say." the la wye
declared. "'lt is quite immaterial to me how th^se
questions are answered, bat they must be answered.
t=f> we can get at, the facis.
"Our task is not completed yet. I shall go before
Judge L«acombe to-morrow and ask permission to
photograph certain of the documents. I have no
doubt permission -a-ill he pranted. Photographs,
v..' have determined, might aid materially in reach
ing conclusions. But I cannot say anything about
cur findings to-day, and shall have nothing to say
about them until I have received a full report from
I ■ experts."
BRIDGE CRVSH RELIEVED.
Record umber of Cars \om Run
ning Across Structure, P. S. C. Says.
The Public Service Commission yesterday issuf^l
ii-: order to BBS Intel borough -ftapid Transit Com
pany to show v.-hy the service on the Third avenue
elevated road should not be increased during the
rash hours by about 15 per cent. This order pro
vides that ninety-one additional cars be run during
in* morning rush hours, and 139 cars in the even
ing. A hearing on the order will be held December
20 for*; Commissioner Eustis.
A report from the committee on the Brooklyn
Bridge was transmitted to the commission at its
public meeting. This report declared that more
tars, elevated and surface, were running across the
bridce In the rush hours now than ever before.
Bridge Commissioner Stevenson reported, said the
committee, that In November, between 5 and 6 p. m
there was an average of 2&8 cars, as against 264
a year ago. Under favorable condition* on some
days 320 cars crossed the bridge In that hour,
where last year never more than 300 crossed in the
hour. Commissioner Stevenson eaid this increase
v.-as due to Improvements in operation on the part
cf the operating company, the Interest tak<*n by the
operating officials since the advent of the Public
Service Commission, and the hearty co-operation
by the police.
On motion of Commissioner Eustis. a final order
was Issued providing that the fare south over th«
lines of the New York City Interborough. the Union
Railway Company and the Interborough shall be
8 cents. These companies maintain an 8 cent fare
north on a transfer system.
A. E. Blackrnar, counsel to the commission, re
ported that the municipal ferry to Staten Island
wo^ld not come under the Jurisdiction of the com
mission. Complaints have been received from many
Htaten Islanders regarding the express service
there, and because the ferry will not check bag
gage. These complaints, under Mr. Blackmar's
opinion, the commission cannot remedy.
Commissioner Bassett held three hearings yester
day on orders directing the Brooklyn Union Ele
vated Railway to improve its service in various
respects The most Important was an order direct
ing that the sixty second headway for cars crossing
the bridge during the evening rush hours be extend
ed for a longer period.

em to be irregular and the federal court to be with
out Jurisdiction.
RoKer Foster appeared for Konrad and J. Parker
Curlin and James Byron for Judge Lacombe and the
federal receivers. Frederic R. Coudf-rt was p.r
mitted to intervene on behalf of the state receivers.
Mr. Foster's argument was devoted to showing
that the federal courts are without jurisdiction in
the case. In the course of It he said :
Th* federal courts have frequently taken control
of railways engeg'd in inter-siat* commerce, sad *
few years ago more than one-third of f-ucn rail
roads were operated by the courts of the United
States It Is not unlikely that during the n*-xt
few years something similar may take place.
Hitherto, how-ver the right of the states to have
absolute and exclusive control of the street rail
ways operated in cities within their borders has
never been questioned. If the proceeding in this
case is approved or is not dismissed, in every case
where a street railway company becomes insolvent
the persons in control of the same will try to put
themselves under the protection of the federal
courts by a similar collusive proceeding, and thus
ovade'tbo summary remedies authorized by etate
Ftatutes.
WATER CUT OFF FROM ST. JOHN.
Mains Leading Into City Burst and General
Suspension of Business Results.
St John. K. 8., Dec. 9.— The breaking: of two
groat water mains leading into this city to-day
caused a general suspension of business. All in
dustrial establishments using machinery were
forced to close, the electric light system was
crippled and even th« streetcars stopped running.
It is thought that there will be no relief before to
morrow night.
City wat-r wagons to-day carried scant supplien
of water for cooking and drinking purposes. Tiie
Fire Chief has ordered all apparatus to go to the
water front In case of an alarm, and rump eea
water through the hose lines. In order P get out
their editions the evening newspapers had water
hauled by team from a lake two milea from the
city
The mains burst about three miles out of the
city in a place where the land is low. That por
tion' of the country is flooded. Powerful pumps
have been sent to the scene to endeavor to lower
the flood while the half-submerged workmen com
plete the necessary repairs.

The question came up when the lawyer's fistic
prowess was exhibited at the Special Term yester
day morning. While he was examining Charles
Uarkas in supplementary proceedings Cbaries'fl
brother Victor approached and made somo remark
Jn a low tone. A moment lat'-r Victor's chin came
into violent contact with Hullheitm-r'n JIM. Victor
described a parabola and landed in a heap on tile
floor, while the force of the blow sent Hanhetmer
himself sprawling o%'er a chair.
Victor disappeared from the courtroom without
waiting for the second round, and Hallheimer re
sumed the examination.
GOETHALS TO VISIT WASHINGTON.
Expected to Bring Report on Widening
Canal Locks.
Washington. Dec. a.— -Colonel George. W. Ooethals,
the chairman and engineer in chief of the Isth
mian (''anal Commission, has informed the authori
ties here of his intention to come to Washington
!n about a week or ten days. Probably the most
important matter which will come up for consid
eration between Colonel Goethals and the admin
istration officials will be that of increasing the
proposed width of the canal locks to 120 feet, co
as to be able to accommodate the development in
shipbuilding for many years to come. Several
months ago the question was informally considered
In Washington, but, -without reaching any conclu
sion, the subject was referred to the commission
at the Isthmus for report. It Is said that Colonel
Goethals will bring with him well defined views on
the subject as a result af conferences with his col
leagues. The report will be laid before Secretary
Tai't on his return.
