Wallace endeavored to show the effect

especially; the evidence . given by the
city of Glasgow of the utility and ad
vantage of municipal- ownership. He
stated that the results in Glasgow
have shown that the street railways
of a large city can be run with im

vate ownership cities, while at the
same time the city was able to run the
roads on half the Income of the com-

This is the contract under which Mr.
Desbecker, with a number of other
agents, entered the employ of the New
York Life in Buffalo. - -
While Mr. Perkins was on the stand
during the afternoon there was some
what of a clash between the witness
and Mr. Hughes, the first of anything
of this nature that has occurred since
the committee began its sessions. It
was when Mr. Perkins was testifying
to the moneys in the "Nylic" fund, of
which he is a trustee. Mr.Perkins did
not want it to appear on the records
that the agents paid part of their sal
aries into the fund under contract, un
less the words "and bonuses" appear
ed. He said to Mr. Hughes that he
(Mr. Hughes) was trying to get away
from something, and the counsel hotly
retorted that he was not, and that if
Mr. Perkins would "answer his question
much better progress, would be ma'de
with the investigation.
Earlier in the day' Henry R. Win
throp, of the Equitable, while On' the
stand presented a statement of the
transfers of the stock of the Equitable
at the time of Its change of manage
ment and directorate. Most of the
transfers Mr. Winthrop was able to ex
plain, and some he was not. At the
time of these transfers Mr. Winthrop
was the holder of twenty-five shares.
He thought the actual owner was
James H. Hyde, as he turned the
checks for dividends over to Mr. Hyde.
Mr. Winthrop was again called to the
stand just before adjournment, Mr.
Buckner having given way, to explain
a trustee account brought up earlier in
the day. Mr. Winthrop presented a
typewritten statement of the account,
and said the loans would be paid off in
a few days and the collateral entered
on the books of the company. Before
Mr. Buckner retired, however, he was
asked to produce a statement of the
expenses of the Paris office, with a rec
ord of the real estate held there and
the business that was under that juris
diction. Mr. Buckner had been ques
tioned most of the afternoon on the
foreign business and its' cost to the
home office.
The committee will resume its ses
sions to-morrow.
ENTIRE CUT PLANS ARE
ADOPTED BY ALDERMEN
(Continued from First Page.)
speaker said that the poorer people of
the Seventh ward ought to be given
some consideration. He granted that
the center of the city was being taken
proper care of, but that the raising of
the bridges in the Seventh ward would
make worse mud hoes of some of the
streets than they are at present. He
did not think the committee was to be
thanked at all for what it had done.
Alderman Loos stated that the Crown
street matter was a- separate matter in
itself, and that when it. came' up for
consideration the public would he given
plenty of chance , to, baeard-before
aennite action was taiten. ;--" -
Chairman Johnson next called upon
City Engineer Kelly to answer Mr. Mil
ler's contentions. He explained the
grades and showed Jhat they would be
much less than at present and that
many of the bridges would be lower.
In fact, the plans are much more fa
vorable in these respects than the orig
inal plans commended by the railroad
commissioners.
Alderman Langley asked Mr. Kelly if
Madison street would be affected, as
Mr. Miller had stated, and Mr. Kelly
replied that Madison street would not
be changed in any way.
Attorney George D- Watrous stated
that he would like to say a few words
concerning Mr. Donovan's contention.
He said that the engineers would need
a little scope in their work, but that if
the board objected to this clause he
and his associate. Attorney Buekland,
on behalf of the company, would waive
this clause.
In reference to Mr. Rich's objection
Mr. Watrous stated that the railroad
company intended to carry out the
plans as presented in good faith with
the city.
Alderman Smith asked Attorney
Watrous if, under the plans, it would
not bind the city to extend Crown
street, and Mr. Watrous replied that
this matter rested entirely with the
city. He was then asked several other
questions, which he answered.
Alderman Loos, as there were no
more present who expressed their de
sire to be heard, moved that the com
mittee of the whole go Into executive
session, and this motion was carried
with an amendment that the corpora
tion counsel and the city engineer be
requested to remain. With these two
exceptions and the city sheriff and the
page, the room was cleared of all ex
cept the members of the board.
Just what happened in the executive
session is not known other than that
the aldermen asked numerous questiosn
of the corporation counsel and the city
engineer. That there were a number
of minor objections made to various
parts of the report was self-evident
as the session lasted over an hour.
When the doors of the aidermanic
chamber were thrown open President
Townshend called the board of alder
men together. Chairman Johnson then
presented the report of the committee
of the whole, which recommended .that
the report of the city's cut commission
be adopted and that the petition as pre
sented by the railroad company be
granted. .
Alderman Nathanson moved imme
diately that the report of the committee
of the whole be adopted and the mo
tion was seconded by several of the
aldermen. Alderman Courtney imme
diately jumped to his feet and amend
ed the motion to the effect that the last
thirteen words of the sixth section be
struck out. These are the words to
which Mr. Miller had referred in. the
public hearing and were as follows:
"The alterations proposed are more
fully described In detail hereafter,
subject to such further alterations as
the exigencies of the work may re
quire." Mr. Courtney said that he
thought that this section might Involve
the city in considerable trouble later.
The amendment was seconded by Alder
man Smith, who said that he objected
to such a cla'use from a legal stand
point, as he did not consider it suffi
ciently binding -"or definite.
Tjrta anlrt that it Innked
vry much as though the amendment j
questioned the" feood faith of the rail
road company; "and he thought thlB
hardly fair. He said, however, that as
the attorneys for the railroad company
had signified their willingness to have
the clause removed should It prove a
stumbling bldcK.'- why he did not per
sonally object to it if it were taken
out,
Alderman All'on asked the board if It
had not faith In the corporation coun
sel, who had said that the clause, would
not hold in any bourt sufficiently to al
low the railroad company to deviate to
any extent from the general plans. He
had also stated, In the executive ses
sion at the time, that it might benefit
the city by having it left in the agree
ment. Alderman Nathanson objected to the
clause on the ground that it gave the
railroad company too much power.
Alderman Johnson said, 'It's of no
great Importance anyway. Take it out
If you wish."
Alderman Marlow said, "Chuck , it
out."
Alderman Homan said that it belit
tled the board to squabble over this
matter, which placed the board in the
light that It was suspicious of every
body and everything. He then said,
"Let's hear what Engineer Harte of the
railroad company has to say aibou't ft."
Alderman Johnson moved that Mr.
Harte be given the privilege of the
floor, but President Townshend ruled
the motion out of order, because there
was already a motion before the
house.
Alderman McKerniss favored letting
the words remain.
Alderman Woodford facetiously re
marked, "Mr. President, I object to the
removal of the words on general prin
ciples, owing to the fact that there are
thirteen of them." (Laughter).
Alderman McKerness requested Pres
ident Townshend to invite Engineer
Harte to speak on this question, as a
motion to that effect would be out of
order, and as there was no objection
this request was granted.
Mr. Harte stated that in some cases,
as the work progressed, it might be
possible to shade some of the grades
given under the present plan a little
lower than specified! but that if this
clause were stricken out the road would
be bound by law to adhere to the exact
grades specified.
An aye and nay vote was taken on
the amendment, which was lost, il to 7,
the members voting as follows: Aye,
Aldermen Nathanson, Courtney, Burke,
Collins, Devine, Langley and Smith;
nay, Aldermen Homan, Johnson, Mc
Kerness, Healy, Maxwell, Hamilton,
Loos, Woodford, Marlow, Brown and
Allen.
At this point several of the aldermen
took the floor one after the other and
explained why they had objected. to
parts of the plans during the delibera
tions, and Alderman Loos made a
strong speech as to how the city would
be benefited by accepting "this splen
did arrangement." ' . l.
The question was called for, but be
fore it could be put by the chair Alder
man Smith took the floor and said that
while he did not wish to hold up mat
ters, the rules of the board explicitly
state that any report before it can be
passed must have a second reading,
and the report in this Instance had
only been read once. The chair held
that the point ct order was well taken.
At this point it looked very much as If
the whole matter was going to be held
up. Alderman Johnson then made a
speech In which he stated that while he
objected generally to any suspension of
the rules, he moved in this instance
that they be suspended. This motion
was seconded by Alderman Loos.
Alderman Smith stated that this
would be unnecessary if unanimous
consent, for immediate consideration
could be gained and Alderman Johnson
then withdrew his motion and called
for unanimous consent When the ris
ing was was taken all present stood up
but Alderman Langley, and then there
was again a most serious "deadlock,"
during which matters were again dis
cussed, and all kinds of plans consid
ered, one of which was offered by Al
derman Homan to the effect that the
report be left on the table for a few
minutes and then taken up and read
for a second time. This has never been
attempted in the board before, and
there was considerable doubt as to
whether it would be legal or not. Cor
poration Counsel Daggett was asked if
it would ie, but replied that he was
not sufficiently acquainted with the
rules of the board to know. Time was
thereofre given him 'to consider this
question.
While this was being done Alderman
Langley took the floor. He said that
be did not wish to appear to be holding
up matters just for the sake of doing so
but that he was not satisfied that all
as as it should be. "However," he
said, "as it seems the wish of all the
members except myself to put this
thing through to-night, I will withdraw
my objection to unanimous consent."
(Loud applause.)
." Unanimous consent was then granted
and 'the report of the committee was
next unanimously adopted, thereby
blearing up the much debated cut mat.

, . It Js . Understood, however, that the I
Imperialbank will defer action until
after the publication of the return for

the situation is that much of the recent
discounting at the Imperial bank was
upon short bills, and hence there is a
prospect- that the status will be rap

Berlin bankers believe that the effect
