King, of the Committee on ‘| Transportation of the Merchants’ Aeso- ciation, and Aebley W. Cole, Chairman of the State Raliroad Commission, marked the proceedings in the Fifth Avenue Hotel this afternoon, where the recommendations of the Merchants’ As- sociation for the relief of the crush on the Metropolitan lines were presented to the commission, The controversy reached the “I resent your remark, sir," s e, but resulted in no apparent ad- vantage to elther ei save that mem- ders of the Merchants’ Association Com- mittes were admitted to the room where! the commissioners sat. j Theron G. Strong, for the Merchants’ Association, opened the argument by presenting the recommendations and protesting against secret sessions. He | seid he had noticed that mone of the plans advocated by the aésacietion for the pellet spn the "L" roads had been adopte afd unless {t be to hide disclosures to ¢ detriment of the railronds that might j be tuken advantage of by unscrupulous persoits, f Chairman King's Hard Blow.

We thought it esi to hav private hearing in the Manhattan ‘L' matter,'* “We want the board to have public heerings.” said Mr, King, “This is a maiter of grave importance to 8,000,000 pedpie. Thus far only the railroad side has been heard.” “Il resent your remarks," replied Mr. Cole hotly, ‘Public hearings at all times are impracticable. We are not in the habit of committing crimes at these private hearings.” “Nobody accuses you of committing crimes,” retorted Mr, King, ‘but we in- sist that in proceedings of this charaoter |¥! the public should take the initiative, not the railroads. We have been at great + pains to gather fes about the over- crowding of c: nd it 1s due to us that our recommendations be given a hear- ing In public,’ Mr. Cole said that he had no objections to a public reading of the Merchants’ Association document.

Second—Ample and frequent service on the nes east of Madison avenue ~ 4nd west of Broadway, and particularly the Bixth avenue line, Third—The practicability of hereafter turning north-bound Broadway cars into Gixth avenue at Thirty-fourth street, and north-bound Sixth avenue cars into Broadway at Thirty-fourth street, thus abolishing the congestion at that point. | Pourth—-The practicability of extend- ing the Broadway road so 4s to avoid trensfers at Fifty-ninth street and turn and west along Fifty-ninth street, Fifth—In view of the narrowness and erewded condition of Broadway between Heyenteenth and Twenty-fret streets, it should be considered whether the pub- le eonventence would not be promoted, dangerous congestion at Twenty-third street an@ Fourth avenue prevented, if the Lexington avenue care were to run east from Broadway along Fourteenth atreet fo the junction with the Madison avenue line and thence up Fourth ave- ; KING’S PLAIN TALK ON THE CAR-JAM STAR CHAMBER. ‘This in a matter of grave im- portance to 3,000,000 people.

HE IS AN UNDERTAKER. The Canfield and Burbridge-Farrell Gambling Raid Cases Will Prob- ably Come Up Before This Body for Investigation Very Soon. Those two eminent exponents of re- form, Recorder Goff and District-Attor- ney Jerome, are at swords’ points over the methods which should make reform a success, The Recorder has frequently evinced his disapproval of Mr. Jerome’s way of doing business and Mr. Jerome has as often expressed his criticism of the criminal courts wherein he says he does not find that aid that he had count- ed upon when he took the office. The Criminal Court Justices andthe Recorder are not inclined to allow Mr. Jerome to boss thelr courts and eo when the Dlstrict-Attorney to-day urged the ‘appointment of a personal friend to be Foreman of the February Grand Jury the Recorder promptly refused to enter> tain the proposal. Now,this has a mighty grave signif- gance. Mr. Jerome knows that the gam: bling cases will go before this Grand Jury and, of course, he wanted to lose po chance of strengthening his position, He wanted to secure the right mate: on the Grand Jury. Hence the applica- tion, but the Recorder refused flatly to heed the suggestion, and appointed Ed- ward J. Cudahy, an undertaker, of No. ‘8 East Fifty-fifth street, to the :posi- ton, It is alleged by friends of the Recorder that the latter is very much incensed at the District-Attorney'’s methods in Prosecuting gambling cases, therefore the slap at the prosecuting attorney was unmistakable, Mr, Cudahy is @ personal friend of yoans F.
