Like nearly every one else this lecal Napoleon of finance professed to be greatly surprised at the swearing out of warrants for Senator Quay and the rest. Who the others are who are mentioned ancnymously in the affidavit is a question that is keeping people guessing. Senator Penrose Talks. United States Senator Boles P2nrose, just after leaving Senator Quay's room at the Hotel Walton, spoke freely and emphatical- ly regarding this new move against Senator Quay. “I presume Senator Quay will any statement at this junctur . “regarding this last dastardly attack of his malevolent enemies, though he doubtless will, in the proper way and at the proper CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

There is, however, no reason why I, as his colleague and personal friend, should be silent. “Attempted assassination of character has been almost the sole weapon of attack employed by Senator Quay’s opponents for several y2ars, and the methods pursued have been augmented in viciousness and virdictiveness as their futility has been demonstrated.” Mr. Haywood’s Statement. Mr. Haywood, in an interview at Omaha, said: “This is a great surprise to me. I bad no reason to expect anything of the kind. I am certainly not hiding from the Police, and, if requested, would go to Oma- ha tonight and surrender to the police. If not disturbed, however, I shall remain here until Friday, and then go straight home, as I had intended to do. I 1>ft home Septem- ber 1 for 2 month’s vacation. I do not un- derstand how Quay or I could be implicat- ed in the trouble of the People’s Bank. Neither of us were stockholders or ofli- ials. When the bank failed last February I had on d2posit there, as state treasurer, $505,000, Quay told me the bank held his personal note for $15,000 at the time it clesed. He said it was on an ordinary com- mercial transaction. The note was then overdue. He paid tt shortly after a re- ceiver was appointed. The money I had on deposit there has been paid back. Before I left the receiver had paid $434,000. Since I left I have received notic> that the balance has becn paid. This is all the connection Quay or I have had with the bank. I have had no financial dealings with Senator Quay. He is my personal friend, and that is all.” When asked as to the alleged stock deals with Senator Quay, in which the money of the People’s Bank was used, and resulting, according to the criminal charge, in the wrecking of the bank, Mr. Haywood denied vigorously that he knew anything of th matter.

A petition was filed in the Probate Court today by Mary P. Brown asking the court to appoint a temporary guardian to ap- pear for, represent and protect her rights and interests in the estate of the late Robert Beall, whose wi!l is being contested. In her petition Miss Brown sets fosth that she is the sole legatee and devisee under the terms and provisions of the last will and testament of Robert Beall, which has been duly filed for probate by H. Bow- yer McDonald, who is named as executor; that thereafter a caveat was filed on be- half of William J. Beall, a nephew of the decedent, protesting against the validity of the testament. Miss Brown states also that she is a minor just over the age of fourteen years. Justice Hagner, after reading the peti- tion, appointed Mr. Charles §. Wilson guardian for Miss Brown. ——._—. Confer With Commissioners. Messrs. Evan H. Tucker, H. H. Martin and W. J. Frizzell of the Northeast Citi- zens’ Association called upon the District Commissioners today for the purpose of presenting the petition for improvements in the section recently reported to the as- sociation, and which was published at the time in The Star. Mr. R. R. White and others also called upon the Commissioners today to request the removal of the present stone pavement on C street between New Jersey avenue and Ath street east, and the paving of the street with asphalt. —_>—_—_—. ‘The Meddler.—Advt, BELT ROAD BONDS A Majority Holding Acquired by Those Controlling the Stock. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DEAL Proposed Equipment of the Road With the Underground Electric. —_—- SOME CURRENT GOSSIP There is a bit of interesting gossip in street railroad and financial circles today and it is to the effect that a large block of the bonds of the Belt railroad has been sold to the syndicate owning a controlling interest in the stock. It is stated that the purchase included some $350,030 of the bonds, which is much more than the con- trol, as the total issue is $500,000, ‘This was not, however, the actual amount of money given, as the bonds, while having a par value of $100, are now quoted at 45 bid and Bs ‘ked. It ts not definitely known what was patd for the bonds, but the best opinion is that the price was 58. The general idea is that this deal indicates that the syndicate in acquiring this additional interest in the road proposes to become a purchaser at the sale of the road, which is to be held by order of the court some time next month. The Eckington System. The road has been in the hands of a re- coiver, as 1s well known, for some time, and there has been no interest paid on the bonds for the past elghteen months. When the Eckington and the allied roads were bought some months ago by the syndicate that is about to equip and operate the sys- tem under the name of the City and Sub- urban railroad, the control of the Belt road Was also acquired. It was proposed when application was made to Congress for au- thority to consolidate the Eckington and the allied roads under the name of the City and Suburban to include also the Belt road. Such a provision was actually ins the bill which became a law ai the las sion of Congress incorporating the City and Suburban, but owing to certain complica- tions which arose in connection with the Belt road, it was deemed best to drop all allusion to that line from the bill and it ne a law in that form. The principal complication was the claim of the employes for money due them and then _ vartous claims for supplies. A majority of the bond- holders took steps to have the road sold, but it was found that such a sale would not include the franchise or the right to operate the road as a corporation, The New Charter, It was therefore mi ry to secure ad- ditional legislation before a sale of the road could be effected, and a bill to that end was assed at the last session of Congre: Under the provisions of this measure any corporation operating a street railroad within the District of Columbia is author- ized to purchase the property and franchise of the road and operate it asa part of its system, or in case the do by any all the righ’ s conferred on the Belt toad This law, therefore, permits: the pureaase of the road by street railroad corpora- in the or by an of ind As the syndicate now a controlling interest in the bonds as us in the stock it is the presumption ng some of those whe keep posted about local street railroad matters that {t is the fntention of the syndicate to appear bidder when the sale cones off. ‘This, s been the opinion for some though the: name of another tion, as well as 4 combination of individuals, have been mentioned as like- ly to appear as bidders at the sale. Debts Must Be Paid. The bill requires the payment of the amount of money due the employes, and rer certificates have already been is- sued in liquidation of this debt. It also tipulates that all indebtedness for coal, feed, horseshoes and other supplies con- tracted for by the receiver of the road, must be paid before any permit is issued to begin the work of equipping the road with the underground electric system, as the purchasers are required to do. In the event those now owning the bulk of the securities of the road become the road purchi then under can bi rated as a the City and Suburh independent compan of the same persons Now in control of the City and Suburban. It fs believed that the latter plan will be pursued and that the road may vontinue to be known as the Belt. It is estimated that the equipment of the road with the new motive power will involve an expenditure of about thr2e- quarters of a million dollars. sane ae eee THREATENED HER. the law the part of the syste n railro SAID HE Charge Made by Mrs. Kinsey Against Her Husband.

THE Central Labor Union Withholds Six- natures Pending Investigation. The regular weekly meeting last evening of the Central Labor Union was largely attended. President Szegedy occupied the chair and Mr. J. L. Feeney presided. The most exciting subject brought up during the evening was the circular in ref- erence to Representatiy2 Babcock which was adopted at a recent meeting of the Central Labor Union, when the president and secretary wer: directed to officially sign the circular. These-officials being in- disposed to do so, the tollowing resolution was adopted at last evening’s meeting: “That the president and.secretary b> in- structed not to sign the protest egainst Mr. Babcock’s re-election, ang that a committee of thre’ be appointed to inyestigate the charg2s made against Mr, Babcock as to = = —} Eezema. Mr. H. T. Shebe, 270 Lucss Ave., St. Louis, Mo., says: “My daughter bad .Ec- zema, which covered her bead and spread to her face, She was treated by physicians and taken to celebrated health springs, but only grew worse.

McCormick, Sprague, Smith, Craft and Huff. An amendment was subsequently adopted including in the scope of the investigation the charge that Mr. Babcock is opposed to suffrage in the District, and has promoted legislation in the interests of corporations. The committee was ordered to report at the next meeting of the Central Labor Union, which will be held Monday ev2ning next. Delegate Mareh of the Building Trades Ccuncil stated that that body had unani- meusly approved the Babcock circular, and that it would defray any expense neces- ssry to circulate the same in Mr. Babcock’s district. Th2 committee appointed to investigate the Talty matter, which referred to a re- pert that the subcontractor for cutting curb for the city was not paying the usual rate of wages, $3.60 per day, reported that it had ascertained this contract was let by the District government on a basis of $3.60 per day and 15 per cent. It was also ascer- tained at the office of the company having the contract for the District that the fore- going statement was correct. It was de- clared as the s2nse of the committee that somewhere between the District building and the office of the subcontractor, there is a leakage of ninety-four cents per day on the wag2s of each man employed on the work. The committee was instructed to bring the matter to the “attention of the District Commissioners. A special committee was appointed to in- vestigate a charge made by a dei>gate from the machinists that the manufactur- ers of a certain bicycle sold hers pay their employes from fifty cents to $1 per day. A report that some real estate firms are constructing a number of houses by cheap labor was considered, and a committee of five was appointed to devise ways and means by which tenants’ leagues shall be organized for th> purpose of renting ex- clusively from persons who have their houses built by union labor. This commit- tee will report at the next meeting of the Central Labor Union. ———— GROSS FRAUDS CHARGED Report to Mayor of New York's Commission- ers of Accounts. Malected Taxpayers $1,000,000 Asphalt Paving Company—Report by Said to Be a Bid for Votes, John C. Hertle and James Owen, commis- sioners of accounts of the city of New York, made a report to Mayor Van Wye yesterday charging carelessness, extrava- gance and fraud in the department of pub- lic works during the administration of Mayor Strong. The Tribune characterizes the report and the subsequent order of the present mayor to run down the perpetrators of the frauds and to prosecute them as “a Tammany bid tor votes.” The World of today says: ‘The general report of the commissioners of accounts is very voluminous and more cr less general in its character. The sp Gctailed charges are in the speciai repor upon which District Attorney Gardiner seek to have former officials indicted. latter were not made public. Attacks Strong’s Administration. In the beginning the commissioners call attention to the fact that during the thre years of the Strong administration, 189: 1806 and 1897, the department of public works expended $20,401,639.83. ‘The report Says that the books and records of the de- partment of three tnace! public works during these carelessly kept, full of and many omissions and many written up. her subject of which you are fully y the commissioners to Mayor Van Wyck, “is the attempt made to con- ceal violations of the law by making out veuchers and entries in books more than a year after the work was compieted, a re- port cf which we send to you under a sep- years After reviewing the difficulties encounter- ed and shortness of the time at their dis- sal, which the commissioners say pre- vented them from correcting and eliminat- ing all of the abuses which the former ad- ministration allowed to creep into the de- partment, they take up the evil of purchas- ing, without public letting, of supplies costing less than $1,000. “Cost of Supplies Exorbitant. Former Deputy Commissioner Adelbert H. Stecle, who served under Commissioner Ccliis, testified that the seven bureaus bcught supplies and that the prices for identical articles varied greatly. The re- pert continues: “It has been the custom, in many in- Starces, for the official head of the depart- ment wanting supplies for less than $1,000 to suggest in writing on the requisition or by pinning thereon a slip of paper contain- ing the name of the party from whom to purchase the “In nearly by letter to quantitie the pr quote prices on cupplies 1 less than $1,000) were ma ice trevailed of usually select me person, and as many instance come to our notice during our in- of exorbitant prices havin been paid, it would, to be mild, appear 4f great favoritism was shown, and we in- tend later en to make a special report on this subject. “The same practice of evading the law also prevailed by giving out requisitions and orders for work to be performed, or after it was done, in amounts of less than $1,000 instead of making them one contract of over $1,000, which would necessitate ad- vertising for bi Stupendous Asphalt Frauds. The subject of asphalt paving is then taken up. The commissioners say: “We have collected such evidence as will, we believe, clearly show that New York city has been paying in the past three years about $l per square yard more than the same companies charged for the same work for the same number of years’ main- tenance in several large adjacent cities.”” The commissioners say they can show the existence of a combine beyond all doubt, as the entire work has been con- trolled by one company. From time to time it has permitted other companies to come in for a share of work, but making them pay tribute in compelling them to purchase crude asphalt of the concern which Amzi Barber controls as president of the Trinidad Asphalt Company. The re- port goes on. “He succeeded in convineis.g some of the officials of the department of public works that Pitch Lake Trinidad was the only standard of asphalt which would insure gcod pavements, and succeeded in 1892 in having this clause inserted in the specifica- tiens, which read as follows: “The asphalt to be cqual in quality to that mined from Pitch Lake, in the Island of Trinidad,’ and later, evidently - finding other companies who were able to furnish from other Jecalities an asphalt as good in quality as that mined from the Pitch Lake of ‘Trinidad, the clause was again changed to read: ‘The asphalt must be that mined frcm the Pitch Lake of Trinidad,’ thus as- sisting the Trinidad Asphalt Company and the Barber Asphalt Paving Company to absolutely stifle competition. Pitch Lake Asphait the Standard. “This clause was allowed to remain till about the time the California Asphalt Com- pany, which claims to obtain its asphalt from the Alcatraz mines of California, came into existence, of which Henry B. Towle was treasurer and who is the son of the then chief engineer of the department of public works, and from whose office all changes in specifications emanated, when the clause in the specifications was again changed to ‘must be equal to that mined from the Pitch Lake on the Island of Trin- idad.’ in the specifications a “Another clause which has excluded all competition is the one which reads, and exacts from the bid- der, as follows: : as) ae = He day) ft the capacity (in square y: per 0! e works or factory where the paving material is to be prepared.’” The report points out that this would require an intending bidder to expend, be- fore he had any assurance of being able to get work, at least $30,000, and it says the intent of the clause is so plain that needs no further comment, ae = SUIT OVER TELEPHONE RAT Chesapeake and Potomac Comp: Again Made Defendan: One more suit was added today to the long Ist of cases against the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company growing out of the law fixing the maximum rate of rental for ‘phones in the District of Co- lumbia at $60 per annum. The suit today was filed by Messrs. Birney & Woodward and Hemphill & Peter, solicitors for George A. King, whose place of business is at No. 1420 New York avenue. He states that his original contract with the company has expired; that he has tendered the defend- ant money in advance at the new rate, which was refused. He asks for an injunc- tion to prevent the removal of his ‘phone. At the preliminary bearing of the other cases Justice Hagner decided that the in- junctions prayed for were just and tn ac- cordance with the law on its face, and therefore he granted them all. —_ ASPIRANTS L B ur. Examination for Positions in Hizh School Cadet Regiment. The examination of candidates for posi- tions on the regimental staff of the High School Cadet Regiment will be held late this afternoon at the Washington Light In- fantry Armory. There are candidates, fourteen in all, half of them representing the Central school and the other half the Eastern, Western and Busi- ness schools. The appointments, as a re- sult of the examinations to be held today, will be made early next week, if not be- fore. Examinations for company positions will be held at the Central school tomorow af- ternoon at 2:15 o'clock. These examina- tions will be written. wpihe regiment will be organized next Thursday. The boys who desire to join will then be sized up and put into squads, which will be given into the charge of fourth, third and second-year boys, who have had previous military experience, for ¢lementary instruction. The companies will be made up soon after the regimental ap- pointments are announced, and the com- Pany officers will then be appointed to take charge of them. It is expected the regi- ment this year will compare favorably with some of the crack ones turned out of the High School in the past, as there is a promising lot of material to work upon mong the boys who have signified their Ss to join.
