N Dietrich, | N WYCK ON HIS DEFENSE Mayor of Greater New York Answers Gov- ernor's lmpeachment Oharges, EXPLAINS HIS CONNECTION WITH ICE TRUST ance is Entered by Tam- many's Mayor, NEW YORK, Nov, 8.~The World tomor- row will print the full text of Mayor Van Wyck's auswer to the charges in the mat- ter of the American lce codipany. ‘Ihe an- swer 18 addressed to Theudore Rooseveil, governor of the state of New York. In mis reply the mayor says that it Is an answer to the charges preferred aguinst him by David Ferguson und Louis Bouthworth. He says that he docs not own any stk in any ice company and that he has no divect or Indirect interest in any such cowmpany. He contiues as follows: pon April 11, 1899, 1 bought from C. W. Morse 6,000 shares of the stock of the American Ice company for $250,000, which was the fair market value thereof, of which sum I pald $50,000 In cash by three checks and I gave three promissory notes for the balance, one for $30,000 and two for $75,000 each. The stock was issucd to me and by me dellvered to Mr. Morse as collateral security for the motes. Subsequently the notes and collateral were transferred to certain bauks. They were renewed from time to time, the interest being paid by me. Findlly the notes were paid in full by me, with interest, out of the proceeds of the stock as hereinafter stated. I had been a stockholder in the Knickerbocker Ice company of Maine long provicus to April 11, 1869, and had paid for my stock therein $45,000, which was the fair market value thereof. 1 recelved a printed cir- cular about May, 1869, from the American Ice company, offering to exchaugo their stock, share for share, for Knickerbocker stock and 1 made such exchange. My en- tire bolding of the ice stock has been sold in the open market on the New York Stock exchange in various lots for $281,219.15. 1 paid for the stock $205,000." Long Time Finding Out. The mayor then goes on to say that when he was served with Justice Gaynor's order’ in the latter part ot May he did own 5,800 shares of stock of the American fce company, and that his attention was tor the first time in the latter part of May called to the fact that the American Ice company had contracts with the city to supply ice and that he owned stock in the Knickerbocker cdmpany, which bad leased docks from the city. Until that time he bad no knowledge that the American Ice company or the Knickerbocker Ice com- pany of Maine ever did or ever would have any contract or other relation with the city or that the Consolidated Ice company had any leases with the city; that when advised of the facts he began to sell his stock and continued to sell until Juno 2§, 1900, when the last stock was sold. From the proceeds of the sales of the stock the mayor says that the notes for $200,000 given by him upon, the purchase of the 5,000 shares of the American Ice company's stock were pald {n full with Interest at ¢ per cent and that since the 28th day of June, 1900, he bas not had any Interest, direct or Indirect, In any ice company as stockholder or otherwise, that for all stock he pald the fair market value and that he did not receive any of it as a glft or upon a nominal congideration. The mayor then takes up the third charge, which is to the effect that he be- came unlawfully interested in contracts with the city. In his answer he says that these contracts were made by the heads of mdministrative deprrtments without: his knowledge, pursuant to the provisions of the charter which authcrized them to do this. He adds that he first became & stock- holder in the American Ice company April 11, 1899, at which time said company had no contracts with the city of any kind whatever. He was first iaformed about the end of May that contracts had been made in January, 1900, with the American Ice company for the supply of ice to the city of New York. He says that although he had a right to continue to hold said stock, he immediately ‘commenced to sell it and that he had sold all of his stock by June 28, 1900. Debates the Law. The mayor next takes up the provisions of section 1583 of the charter, which pro- hibits a city officer from being interested in city contracts, and says that if any in- direct interest in the contracts of 'the Amerlcan Ice company was acquired by him it was not within the meaning of this statute because it was devolved upon him by law and It was not kuowlngly acquired, He says that many months after he bought his stock the contracts were made without his kpowledge and without any volition on his part and that his holding of the stock could not be turned Into a crime by the acts of other persons over whom he had np control and of whose acts he was ignorant. Mayor Van Wyck next takes up the con- slderation of the capitalization of the American Ico company. He says that the practical and accepted coustruction of the section of the charter referred to for up- wards of fifty years has been that a stock- helder in & corporation having contracts with the city does not have a direct or indirect interest. in ~such contracts by réason of his ownership of a minority of the stock. He goes on to explain that the American Ice company had in 1899 out- standing contracts amounting to $30,000,000, divided Into 800000 shares of §100 each. Mayor Van Wyck then says he has been informed that during the administration ¢t Mayor Willlam L. Strong he was a stock- holder in the Central National bank and that such bank made contracts with the city for the depesit of city funds in sald bank and the payment of interest thereon pursuant to the designation of a board of which the mayor was a member. Mayor Van Wyck says that he has also been in- formed that Mayor Strong was a stock. holder ¢nd trustee in the New York Se- curity and Trust company and that such company also mede similar contracts with the city In addition, Mayor Van Wyck says that Mayor Strong was a director and stockholder in the New York, Lake Erie & Western rallrond and that this rail- road company hef thirty franchizes and dock privileges in the eity of New York. He also explained that Mayor Strong was a ‘director in and chafrman of the build ing committee of the New York Lite In- surance company, from which the city took A lease of nine rooms In thelr building for three years front November 1, 1897, Cane of Bird §. Coler. Mayor Van Wyck next takes up the dis- cuesion of the charges that the present comptroller of the city, Mr, Coler, during | bia term has publicly stated that he owned istack In the City Trust compapy, which bas a contract with the city regarding the deposit of the city funds. Mayor Van Wyck says that he has been Informed that ex Judge Dillon says that sald charter pro- vision was not applicable to such owner- ship. * Next Mayor Van Wyck discusses In a similar fashion the charges against Wood- bury Langdon, a member of the Rapid Transit Ratlroad commission. . He says t he has been informed that Woodbury Langdon was a stockholder in the Cen- tral Syndicato Bullding company and that BEE: TRIDAY, this building company leased rooms to the Rapid Transit Rallroad commission. Mayor Van Wyck says that in 1896, while William R. Grace was mayor, he was a stockholder in the Commercial National bank and that this bank had a contract with the city for the deposit of city funds He save that he has aleo been fnformed that Mayor Maguire of Syracuse is a stock- holder in a corporation called the Courfer Publishing company, which has dealings with that city, and that in a procecding befors the attorney general seeking his removal because of such awnership the at- torney general dismissed the procgedings. Dentes the Dock Ch: The mayor's answer to the second charge that he became unlawfully interested in dock and wharf leases or privileges deals with the grants of land under water made to the Knickerbocker Ice company. He says they were made long prior to Janmu- ary 1, 1508, yhen he took office and that they were simply allowed to continue. He denles approving dock leases and says that the Consolidated Ice company had less dock privileges since March 10, 1899, than they had when he assumed the office of mayor on January 1, 1898. He claims that the so-called “lce, trust” has not been favored, and says that he did not know and never had any information that any leases of the Consolldated Ice company would become the property of the Ameri- can Ice company. -He clalms that the a legations contained in the charge to the effect that the Knickerbocker Ige company of Maine, together with the Consolidated Ice company of Malne, were about to be- come merged fn the American Ice company of New Jersey In the year 1898, were not known or understood by him, and that he had no knowledge or information of any merger untll he recelved the, printed cir- cular offering to éxchange stock. The mayor eays that he ls not gullty of (he four charges made against him, which Is malfeasance in office, in creating' and maintaining a monopoly, that he did not encourage monoroly and explains that facts regarding the dealings of the dock dopartments are clearly presented in the evidence of J. Sefgeant Cram and Charles F. Murphy, dock commissioners, in the proceedings before Justice Gaynor. He says that there are many docks and wharves owned by private persons and that a monopoly of such docks and wharves for loading ice is practically an impossibility. He claims that he never in any way in- fluenced the action of the dock commis- sloners as to leases or privileges to per- sons n the fce busincss and never In any way sought to prevent the competitiors of the American Ice company or its allies from gaining such privileges. He also emphati- cally denies the charges that the American Ice company received esceptional privileges. Just a Soctal Visit. Mayor Van Wyck next takes up the charges that he visited Malne to inspect fce plants and property of the American Ice company. He says that he did go to Maine to make a soclal visit and that while passing in the steamers on the Kennebec and Penobscot rivers, he the exterior of the Ice houses, but did not examine them in any way. Taklog up the charges that he ought ta have taken steps to prevent or punish the alleged violations of the anti-monopoly laws, he says that he was not aware that any persons were engaged in any plan to (reato a monopoly in the production or sale of ice. He discusses the power of the mayor's office and says that they are not adapted to the effectual enforcement of the antl-monopoly statute, which requires proceedings to be conducted by the attor- ney general or the district attorney, In a general answer to all charges, he says that each and every one of the charges is @nd are. utiqualifiedly false, He claims that there ‘never was any arrangement, combindtion, understanding or conspiracy to precure his officlal or' Individual in- fluence for the benefit of the American Ice company or its friends, or for the benefit of any other ice company. In regard to the advanced price of ice from 30 to 60 cents per 100 pounds, or any other advance, he eays that he was not in any way cog- nizant thereof and that he did not know of the advance until he saw it in the news- papers. Blames a Newspaper, In conclusion, the mayor claims that the charges against bim, although in form made by Ferguson and Southworth, are really in- stigated by the New York World and that he is Informed that Ferguson and South- worth are reporters on that newspaper. The mayor explains in this connection the charges made against him in & proceeding before Justice Gaynor and says that the World and its counsel &t that time ex- wmined several witnesses, including him- self, and that they produced mo evidence which showed or intended to show that he was cognizant of, concerned or connected with any plan, arrangement or conspiracy to create or maintain a monopoly in the lce business or to advance the price of ice or restrict competition DEATH RECORD.
