Travis Says
He Squeezed

Moral Obligation Sale Cost

Comptroller Regrets Act
Describes Heartrending In?
terview. With Head of Se?
curity Firm Over Price
The "moral obligation sale" to the
state of bonds to the par value of
?'2,013,000, as a result of which W. S.
Fanshawe, broker and business asso?
ciate of Albert L. Judaon, is alleged
to have lost $100,000, while the losa to
the state was considerably in excess of
that sum, was taken up yesterday when
Comptroller Eugene M. Travis again
took the stand in the John Doe inquiry
being conducted into the nffairs of his
office.
Mr. Travis told Assistant District
Attorney P?cora, who is conducting the
investigation, that the circumstances
surrounding the so-called "moral obli?
gation sale" marked the only blot on
his administration as Comptroller of
the State of New York.
"I feel that I squeezed Fanshawe in '
that deal until I rubbed skin off his
nose, and I am not at a".! proud of the
part I played in it. I felt sorry for
him after a heartrending interview
we had at my New York office. He
declared that the failure of the state
bo take the block of bonds at the price
agreed, upon entailed a loss to him
of more than $88,000," said the witness.
Deal in City Honda
In describing the transaction the
Comptroller said:
"Judson called at my office in Octo?
ber or November of 1916 and said that
as the market looked good ho would
like to sell me a couple of million dol?
lars' worth of New York City bonds. I
told him that we had no money, but
would probably haA e available funds
about January 1. at which time wo
would take the bonds. The securities
at that time were quoted at 94 or 9G,
I think.
"The sale was not put through at
the tim a pon n i k< pt drag?
ging along for months and months.
Finally ? did wh it I have been ash imed
of ever since, No written contract had
1 ? y igned, so i took advantage of the
seller and squeezed him for $100,000.
That act ; cons der ?he one blot on my
ad ninistration.
"The market dropped to around 84
in November, '017. and one day Le Roy
Baldwin, presid? i ; o? the Empire Trust
Coi ipanj , ; ? i.- ???? tat his bank
was carrying the bonds for Fanshawe.
He E?id that the bank was calling for
more collateral on-the bonds and that
he did not believe that Fanshawt was
in a position to put it. up. 1 told him
thru 1 would have to take advantage o?
the absence of a written contract and
squeeze Fanshawe and Judson and take ?
the bonds at the best figure I could
get, although i knew ? was morally
obligated to pay 94??-. This Is the only
time I ever made a moral agreement
with a man that 1 failed to keep."
Mr. Travis then described the
"hearl rendini interviej he had with
Fanshawe, during the two hag?
gled over the prici the state- was to
?y,-, l'or tho ecurities.
"The bonds were then quoted at 84,"
he said, "and during our conference,
which I can tell you was ?? heart
Fan hawe worked mo up
t,, . . ' ii ashawe
declared that tn. transaction at that
entailed a loss o? more $88,000,
and indicated that this might ruin

"You 'ell sorry for him, didn't you?"
i I ?1 Mr, i'ecoru.
"I fell thai : -.. .-? squeezing him very
hai d, ind ' till f< el that tho deal is
nothing t?> be proud of."
"Don't you know," asked the- prose?
cutor, "that tho bonds at that time
could have been purchased in 'lie open
marki t for about 82 and that m taking
them at ?->'.".-.! you incurred a loss to
the state of about $140,000?"
"They were selling at that price for
; its but not for a block of the
size we had agreed to take," answered
the witness.
Obligations in Transactions
Justice Kernochan, before wl m the
inquiry is being conducted, asked Mr.
Travis if he had believed that he was
legally as well as morally obligated
to take the $2,013,000 worth of bonds
al. a price approximately $140,000 above
the market. The witness replied that
l,c saw no diffcrret ce between being
morally and legally obligated. He
added that if the transaction had been
a private one he would certainly have
bought the bonds at the agreed figure
of 94, but being a public officer he felt
it his duty to save the state as much
as possible.
"Then you believsd that you were
legally obligated to take the bonds at
94?" asked Jus'ice Kernochan;
??1 certainly did," replied Mr. Travis.
Asked if lie had thought of putting
the matter up to the State Attorney
General for an opinion, the witness
said that he had not regarded this as
necessary, as there were a number of
lawyers in the Comptroller's office and
they were of the opinion that the
state's obligation in the matter was a
legal one.
Mr. P?cora again made persistent
efforts vestcrday to show that the
< omptroller had purchased bonds
through Judson at prices above the
Tho witness reiterated his
statements of Thursday to the effect
that ho never bought bonds at a fig?
ure in excess of the market rate for
large blocks, and Insisted that the quo?
tations referred to by Mr. P?cora were
for samll lots of from two to ten
bonds.

Eight 1,000-Foot Docks To
Be Built at Wcehawketi;
City Purposes to Develop
Port at Owl's Head Bay
Preliminary construction of two
strings of piers to meet increased
shipping at this port was announced !
yesterday by Sir Alfred Booth, chair- j
man of the Cunard Line, and Murray ?
Hulbert, Dock Commissioner. These
new docks, part of extensive harbor:
development plans, aro to he located at j
Weehawken and at Owl's Head Bay, :
H.iy Ridge.
The Cunard Line project at Weebaw- (
ken calls for the erection of eight
1,000-foot piers and one cf smaller di?
mensions. They comprise the greatest
development o? rident years In the port
of New York and will cost, it is esti?
mated by Cunard officials, about $30,
000,000. The frontage on which the
docks arc to be erected has been leased
from an American corporation, and at
present it.1' deep water approach is
blocked by a number of sunken
scrapped hulls . j
Sii Albert Booth, in. his announce-1
ment said (hat, the Hrst step in the !
pr ijl ed c< nstruction would be the
raising of these vessels an.! dredging,
preparatory to laying of foundatioi ;
C ard officials have felt for some
time that the dockage at this port was
inadequate to meet the rapid expan?
sion of business. When In full opera?
tion the new dock? at Weehuwken will
afford facilities for the handling of an
enormous tonnage and will give a do
cided impetus to the port's shipping.
City Plans Three Docks
The city's project as outlined by Mr.
Hulbert will consist of the construc?
tion of three dock3 250 feet wide and
from 700 to 1,000 feet long. These
docks, located at Owl's Head Bay, will
be equipped with every device of mod?
ern marine engineering to facilitate
cargo handling.

further development of the city's port
are expected shortly, when the New
York mid New Jersey Port Commission
has completed its report, which prob?
ably will be published next month.
This report indorses the Hulbert plans
for Staten island, the East River and
the Hudson River. Another port plan,
which is receiving serious considera?
tion by shipping men, is that of Cap?

Lines, who advocates the use of the
entrance to Long Island Sound, north
of Montauk Point, instead of the Am?
brose Channel.

Bedtime Stories
Blister Bear Gets Even With Farmer Brown's Boy
By Thornton W. Burgess
Getting even very seldom
Proves to be at all worth while.
When it does, there's no use talking,
It tvill make a fellow smile.
?Buster Bear.
When Farmer Brown's boy had re?
covered from his surprise at the sud?
den flight of Buster_Bear he simply sat
down and laughed and laughed. "The
old rascal!" he exclaimed. "The old
black rascal! He beat me to it in get?
ting the honey from this tree. He must
have done it last night, and then, hav?
ing stuffed himself until he didn't feel
like walking, he lay down in that
thicket and went to sleep, and I fright?
ened him by drumming on this pail.
Well, I got the honey from that first
tree and he got the honey from this
tree. I guess the thing for me to do is
to get over to that third tree and get
that honey before he finds it. There is
no use in wasting time here."
So Farmer Brown's boy started for
the third bee tree, which he had found a
few days before, as you remember. He
j had not intended to open any of these
trees until cooler weather, but the
| chance discovery of Buster Bear in
I that first tree had caused him to change
| his mind. That is what had brought
j him there so early that morning. He
I knew just how fond of honey Buster
; is, and lie had no intention of allowing
? Buster to get that honey, for he felt
j that it belonged to him. You know
i those Bees had flown away from his
! hives in the first place.
When Farmer Brown's boy reachet
j the third bee tree he went to work jus'
I as he had at the first tree. First h?
: captured most of the Bees and got then
safely housed in a box which hi
: brought for that purpose. Then hi
liMed two pails with honey. By th<
: time he. had done tins ne was tired. I
had been hard work. There was mor
: honey in this tree than in the firs
one. and both pails, and they were bi|
ones, were tilled to overflowing. Afte
resting a while Farmer Brown's bo;
picked up the two rails and started fo
home. With every step those pail
grew heavier. Finally he decided t?
hide one of them and come back for it
So he carefully hid the pail under ;
little low-growing tree and trudged ot
with the other, changing it from on
hand to the other to relieve the strair
Now. though Buster Bear had gon
crashing off in a great fright, he soo:
recovered, ?rd then his curiosity go
the better of him. He wanted to se
what Farmer Brown's boy wm aboul
So Bu?tf?r stole back very qnletlj
Farrne? Brown's hoy wa? not at th
Two minutes later Buster had his
head in that pail and was gobbling
that honey, comb and all
; Buster just where he was. Buster stole
! in that direction and from a safe hiding
place watched Farmer Brown's boy
open that tree and take out the honey.
The sight of that honey made Buster's
mouth water despite the big meal he
had had the night before. As he
! watched he grew angrier and angrier.
i He tried to make himself believe that
! that honey belonged to him and that he
was being robbed. So when Farmer
Brown's boy trudged off with the two
pails Buster Bear followed.
He saw Farmer Brown's boy put one
pail under a little tree and go off with
the other. Buster waited a while until
he was sure that Farmer Brown's boy
really had gone. Then he marched
straight over to that little tree under
which was hidden the pail of honey. At
first he was suspicious. He was afraid
I of a trap. He walked round and round
j that little tree. He could smell that
j honey and it made him bolder. Finally
I he ventured to touch that pail. Nothing
I happened.. Two minutes later Buster
| had his head in that pail and was
? gobbling that honey, comb and all, as if
: he hadn't eaten for a week.
Never had he obtained a feast of
i honey so easily. There were no Bees to
Bting, All he had to do was eat. And
he did eat! When he had licked that
pail clean he stnrted for his home deep
in the Green Forest, and as he shuffled
along he grinned. "I guess I am even
with Farmer Brown's boy now," he
muttered in hi? deep, rumbly, grumb'y
voice.

McMullin Acts
Fight for life
Before Court
Dry Agent Shows How He
Battled With Carlton on
Fire Escape, Pressed Gun
Against Head and Fired
Witnesses Uphold Story
Accused Officer Admits
Arrest in Homicide Case
When He Was Fourteen
Two witnesses for the defense of
Stewart N. McMullin, prohibition agent,
charged with killing Harry Carlton, a
chauffeur, testified yesterday before
Judge Julius M. Mayer in the United
States Court. Their testimony tended
to show that McMullin did mount the
fire escape outside of 234 East Seventy
sixth Street after his alleged struggle
with Carlton, and that unknown per?
sons ran up stairs to the roof and were
heard moving about there.
According to tho testimony of Pa?
trolman Reynolds, McMullin ran into ?
his arms down stairs in the hall, and j
said that he had shot a man who had j
attacked him with a knife.
McMullin said yesterday that after
he and Yaselli had proclaimed their
identity to Carlton and Carini, and
stood confronting them with their ?
badges in one hand and their revolvers
in the other, he had gone, at Yaselli's
bidding, to get the $730 from the
Carini women, who had run screaming
to the fire escape of the front room.
Death Fight on Fire Escape.
Ho said he followed them to the fire
escape and got the money from Carini's
daughter, Malvina. Five shots sounded
from the street, where Yaselli and Rey?
nolds were seeking to attract assist?
ance. He said that immediately after?
ward he saw Carlton corning :in,n tho
kitchen. Two men wore behind him,
he said, with revolvers. He heard Carl?
ton say, "Let me get him," and by the
time he hud shoved the women uside,
he said, Carlton was on the fire escape
with a knife in his hand.
He enacted the struggle, showing
how his gun hand had slid under Carl
ton's arm and the revolver had been
pressed against the back of Carlton's
head. Then he said he fired and let
Carlton slip back into the room.
' lie brushed past tho women, he said,
and ran up the lire escape, lie tried
a window on the. fourth floor, think?
ing that he was being fired upon and
seeking a way of escape. It was
locked, .so he "went to tit'.' top floor.
He was there when Yaselli called to
him to come down,
It was when he did so, he said, that
he met Reynolds and Patrolman Neville
for the first time that night. When
cross-examined by Alfred J. Talley, As?
sistant District Attorney, as ,to why
he had not made a search for the
knife and why he had not hunted the j
other two men, McMullin said that the j
officers hud told him that they had :
made a search for the knife and had
not found it, and that they had seen no !
other persons about.
Louisa Lieb, who lived an the top
floor, testified that she was awakened j
by noises coming up the air shaft and
that she heard hurrying steps on the
roof. She heard no shots, she said, and
heard or saw no one trying the fire
escape window.
Woman Gives Testimony
Mrs. Yetta Rosen, who lived on the
fourth floor, testified that she heard
footsteps running upstairs and saw a
ngure v'i the fire-escape. She and her
husband, she said, looked out shortly
lifter that, but saw no one on the fire
escape. The prosecution has contend?
ed that there were not two men in the ?
room.
McMullin divulged other incidents ;
in his life's history yesterday. Ile j
said that when he was fourteen he
was arrested with other bo s as'' a re?
sult of a rock fight in which a man ?
was killed. He pleaded guilty to in?
voluntary homicide, he said,. and was
fined $50 and costs.
Altogether McMullin has?' testified
that he has spent twelve years and five
months in different prisons. He said
yesterday that while he was in jail ne
studitd law and was of assistance to
"?12 prisoners in obtaining their re?
lease
James Rhevlin, at that time supervis?
ing prohibition enforcement'agent for ;
this district, testified that he did not
know that McMullin was an ex-convict i
when he was appointed to his staff,
but that he learned of it shortly after
and told an agent, Langley, to watch
him. He said that he was not aware
that McMullin had been issued a re?
volver, but that he had never told him
not to carry one.
The trial will be continued on Mon?
day.

Today We Climb
Over the Top
of October
Already trees, gardens and
fields are busy taking off their
summer clothes and putting on
their autumn garb.
The many tints of brilliant
color in the woods and along the
river sides are worthy of the
time it takes for the drive or
even for a long walk.
The next high wind or stormy
day will mightily change the
beautiful landscape of yesterday.
Almost all of our new fall
goods were bought since the
store nearly emptied itself by its
memorable sweep out of stocks
in the first half of the year, and
we were, therefore, left free and
open to take advantage of lower
costs in replenishing in August
and September for our present
large October sales.
Our customers often say: "We
know by past experience of
many years where to go to find
right and reliable qualities and
prices properly regulated by
every reduction that can be
made, and as fast as it appears
every day."
