nal Fulton steamboat. Tne line is going to
take the boat off the mud flats en Staten
Island where it Is now resting, put in all
needful repairs and tie it to the Desbrosses
street •■• • for the winter. The position
it will occupy there is next to the Hen

River Day Lino. said last night that the
line had in it? possession the old steam
boat bell. the dinner beD and part of the
keel of the original Clermont. which would

THE FRANCHISE SITUATION
Chief of P. S. C. Bureau Wants
Strong Attorney General.
A meeting to consider the various fran
chise situations and to discuss methods tor
securing the nomination by all parties o*
strong m"ii for the office of Attorney Gen
eral of the State of New York at the com
ing election was held at the City Club
yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Deloe
F. "Wilcox. chief of the Bureau of Fran
chises of the Public Service Commission,
made a statement, which in part follows:
New York is the most conspicuous ex
ample in the world of the exploitation of
the streets by public service corporations
under perpetual franchises. Durine the
past eighty years the grip of these com
panies upor. the public' highways of this
metropolis has been extending and tighten
ing thanks to the indifference, nearslsrht
edness. timidity and confusion of authority
Th" Attorney Genera! is the king pin in
the present situation. Upon him more than
upon any other one official, and almost
rnor« than u?vin all other officials put to
gether, depends the possibility of succeed
ing in tho campaign to get rid of these
perpetual incuti with which the city or
New York is afflicted If the people were
thoroughly awake to the situation they
would insist that the nominees of all
parties for This office should be men not
only of proved ability as lawyers, but of
a temper that would know no compromise
in prosecuting the people cases.
CARNIVAL CROWDS BEHAVE
Much Fun. No Arrests. One Ac
cident. Some Hat Smashing.
The straw hat vigilance committee was
out to do its work last night at the Coney
Island Mardi Gras. even ■•--• the po
lice did have a way of using the sawed-ofr
pole of pine. But if this was an unpleasant
feature of the second night of Coney's
annual carnival, it was the only one, for
never before did two hundred thousand
joy seekers have more fun In an orderly
-..:..- than they lid last night.
Not one arrest was made by the six hun
dred uniformed policemen bo patrolled
the line of march and the island In general.
In fact, only one arrest has been recorded
since this year's ft*stival began.
During the parade the "Midsummer
Night's Dream" float broke, and caused the
dreamers, occupying the picture, to (all into
another dreamland, dumping them into the

CLASH AT RATE HEARING
Impudent. Says New York Cen
tral Official to Counsel.
CROSS-EXAMINATION BEGINS
One of Lawyers for Shippers
Arouses Ire in Vice -President
Charles F. Daly.
Counsel for the shippers nt the Interstate
Commerce hearing yesterday in the XVal
dorf felt they had enough material for
cross-examination, and the first to he put
throuph a gTuelllnc process was Charles F.
Paly, vice-president of the New York Cen
tral Railroad, with resultant clashes and
interchanges of remarks not pertinent to
the Investigation.
One of the first thinps Mr. Daly said was
In answer to a question hy Francis B.
J.imes. one of the shippers' counsel, regard
ing rate agreements It would he suicidal,
Mr. I>a;y declared, for the railroads to have
individual rates. His opinion was that it
would surely cause a commercial upheaval.
It was when Mr. James asked about the
sue-ar rate that the hearing took a sharp
turn. He asked, innocently enough, what
the rate on supar was from New York to
the Mississippi River and beyond.
"You dor.'t want to ask every question
unier the sun. do you'" said the commis
sions examiner. Mr. Brown. "Supar is not
under investigation ; it is not affected by
the tariff "
•I have the right to examine this witness
on any question that will show his credi
bility," Mr. James said, and the examiner
sighed and told him to go ahead. The
counsel wanted to show that sugar had not
been among the goods that had a raised
rate in the schedule. Mr. Jtimes said he
believed the sugar trust was being favored,
and Mr Daly, after a pause, answered:
'•Rates on sugar are a very delicate sub
jefct They must meet conditions of sugar
production in the territories where shipped,
as the best sugar industry is in Michigan
I think sugar rates ought to be raised, and
they will probably go up. If we trans
ported all our business on the same basis
or which we are compelled t" carry some,
we would be bankrupt in thirty days "
Minimizes Effect of Raise
Mr Jam^s did not follow this lead, but
asked about the effect of the higher rates
on the man who sells goods Mr T'alv
saia -b<=re was vary little eff<»ct on him.
The cost would be so little advanced that
H would have no effect in individual cases.
he declared
Mr James 'her remarked that the men of
St. Louis, for example, who bought shop?
from New England factories had to pay
the higher freight: that the money wouid
be taken out of their pockets and trans
ferred to the coffers of the New York Cen
tral. Mr T^aly declared that some of the
money found Its way back to the men who
bought the shoes, but that the road kept
very little of it. that it went out almost as
fast as it cam*- In
"They do not have the luxuries of the
railroad officials, however?" asked Mr
James
"I re?frr.t that." ■-amp hotly from the wit
ness. ' "'I did not think I was here to be
questioner! as to my personal life. I think
It is impudent."
Counsel for the shippers took a different
tack. He wanted to know whether the rail
road considered the capitalization. It had
'rot. said the witness. Asked which road
he be!<>v^d to be the best, Mr Daly stuck
up for the New York Central as the first in
the world. This question was put for the
purpose of making: a comparison of divi
dends of the several roads in the country.
Rat« on steamers on the Great Lakes were
next taken up. as being higher than by rail,
and th«» raise in the ocean traffic also was
analyzed. The railroads control the lake
routes.
Mr Brandeis took V-r.^ same witness in
hand and asked whether he thought the
higher rates were right Mr r>?:lv said
they were, basing his d*"-ision on his judg
n - " hta-n' I .] by <»xperipnoe on railroads.
a> Mr Brandeis had obtained his ir the
law
No Specific Reason to Give.
"But I had to specialize and study pome
specific thing." sai.i the counsel, "and can
c us a specific reason other than your
judgment ?"
Mr lialv said he rnuiri not.
Then the witness became warm, and de
with emphasis that the railroads
should ha\ ■■- something to say about the
gement of their own property.
. ■ • ust be some rights that we pos
sess. We d<. not question the right of a
shoe mar. to raise his prices," he said.
The New York Central statement was
handed in by one of the counsel for the
road. He called it a cord of parwr which
might be termed trie summary of a summary.
Oni- of the counsel for the shippers said
• • was not complete, whereat <~"!vd f '
I - wn, of counsel for the New York Cen
tral, said
"We have given what they asked for. At
any rate, w- trivt them nothing more

"I never met an importer who refused to

Wardell and Charles D W Dr»w in the
Criminal Branch of the United States ir

Hyland is a witness for the government
He was a bartender before he entered the
government service in IS9S. He astonished
the court as soon as he was put on the
stand by declaring that he underweighed
the very first cargo he was assigned to
handle.
More names of importers were mentioned

testimony from the day before. He said

FIND JEWELRY AND CLOTHES
Boston Dressmaker's Trunks, 11
of Them, Cause Customs
Men Some Concern.
Eugene Hiergins. yachtsman and club
man, came in with many other? yesterday
on the steamer Kronprinzespin Cecilie. and
hi? baecacre. with that of several others,
was held up and sent to the Appraiser's
StoreF. Mr. Higgins will have to appear
before Purveyor Henry this morning at
the Custom House, or he may send his rep
resentative, for there were things in the
six trunks belonging to him that will re
quire explanation, as they were not de
rlared.
The Custom House wa= rushed with the
business gathered in by the alert inspectors
on the pier where the German vessel was
berthed. The customs officials had found
numerous suits of clothing in Mr. Hicginss
trunks that seemed to be tar more valu
able than the $L6O worth of goods de
clared. And there was jewelry, and still
other things, all of which may prove ad
missable. but the Surveyor wants to know
al! about them.
One of the persons held up by the in
spectors, ano later ordered under arrest,
and still later h^ld for further examination
by United States Commissioner Russ. in
Hoboken. was Mrs. TValter Dolan. the head
of the big dressmaking concern in Boston.
of Driscoll & Od. She had eight trunks
that were nearly full of Parisian gown:-,
and in th«=> same stateroom with her was
a friend. Miss Nanette Gude. daughter of
O J Gude. of this city, in whose three
trunks were other gowns belonging to Mrs.
Dolan.
Mis;- Gude made a satisfactory explana
tion, but Mrs Dolan seemed to b*> well
known to the inspectors. They were look
ing for her. and it was said that she had
been in some way connected with the
'sleeper trunk 1 ' cases with women in Bop
tor, who were fined $7,500 each as the re
sult of a round-up of all persons concerned
in the long time frauds The gowns
brought in by Mrs. Polar were said to be
worth nearly $10,000
The inspector? were astonished to see on
the r :er Mi-=s Josephine Maboney, of Ja
maica Plain, wbo had succeeded several
weeks ago in bringing in six "hobble- skirt
gowns as of manufacture in this country.
Her story thsi T she had bought them in
Boston and had simply "freshened" them
abroad, where she was studying music.
was accepted by Special Deputy Surveyor
Smyth. It was learned yesterday that she
was a niece of Mrs. Dolan. and the interest
m Mis? Maboney Increased.
The Federal grand jury in New Jersey
may be expected to consider the case of
Mrs. Dolan. should the smuggling theory
of -he customs officials prove feasible. The
dressmaker came to the Custom House to
a big touring car hired in Hoboken. and
went away in 11 with the inspector, to ap
pear before Commissioner Russ. She was
not represented by counsel

ASKS RELIEF FROM ALIMONY
Necktie Manufacturer Has New
Charges Against Wife.
William O. Horn, a necktie manufacturer,
through his counsel, John F. Mdtttyre,
asked Justice Whitney yesterday to vacate
the order under which he is paying $3,506
a year alimony to his wife, Mrs Kathleen
Horn, whom he sued for divorce. Th* 1
suit wa? trit-d In June, and the defence
was that if she committed the offence
linst her she was insane at the
tirrv-
James W. Osbome, counsel ior Mrs
Horn, introducer! testimony t<"> Show that
she -was intermittently out of her mind, t^p
3ury found the wife gmlty of misconduct,
but could not aeree on the question of her
sanity, and consequently her responsibility
was not d'termined Further alleged mis
conduct o n the part of Mrs. H"m now leads
her husband to seek to be reliever] from
paying any further alimony in the old case,
which remains standing.
Mr. Mclntyre said that the insanity pl^a
was advanced every time a charge of mis
conduct was made against the defendant-
He also made a motion that the new accu
sation be added to the old complaint, and
also for a reduction of the alimony of $2.5' 1
and expense? of $500 be reduced. Justice
Whitney reserved decision.
TO RUSH BROOKLYN SUBWAY
Work on Fulton Street May Start
by October 1.
It was said yesterday that the Public
Service Commission would not consent to
any delay in beginning work on the section
of the Fourth avenue subway which ex
tends in Fulton street. Brooklyn, from
Neylns street to Ashland P'.ace. Applica
tion was made to the Supreme. Court on
August 31 for the appointment of commis
sioners to condemn the property necessary
for the work. When the appointments have
been made the fee to the property will vest
in the city and the occupants thereof will
receive notice to get out.
They have h«en aware for some time
that they would have to move, and the
Public Bervice Commission do<-« aoi be
lievA that further delay is warranted. Tt
is particularly a- '.- I have the work
on this section begun a: the earnest poa
sible moment, as it is the most ■". "
of the entire route. ar>d may delay the
opening of the subway unless w
started at .in early datf*. Tt is hoped that
the tenants can be got nm by October L
GATLAGE OWNER TO PAY 579.578
Referee Decides Contractor Was
Wrongly Evicted.
Jerome S. Hess, as referee in the suit of
the General Supply and Construction Com
pany against Robert W. Gillette, filed his
report yesterday awarding the plaintiff
$79.37> for work done on the garasr» of the
defendant at 64th street and Broadway
The contract for the construction of th»
building railed for its completion in 1992
The work was delayed, however, and in
March, 1909, Gillette evicted the contractors
and finished the work himself, refusing to
pay the bill of the contracting firm, who
sued him.
The referee in his report places the blame
for the delev on Rudolph P. Miller, now
Superintendent of Buildings, who was in
charge of the steelwork of the garage.
The referee said that Miller held the plans
given to him by the architect for six
months, when he should have got through
with them in two months. Therefore, de
cided Mr. Hess, the General Supply and
Construction Company was not responsible
for the delay in finishing the building.
