The vote on the Coggeshall amend: tment, which was defoated, was 23 to 27 {ter this amendment had. been voted) wn ten Senators changed front and voted for the investigation which now Passes to the Assembly for concurs fence. The vote was as follows: For—Foley, Frawley, Hawkins, Kee- pan, Kehoe and Riordan, Democrats; Carpenter, Cobb, Cooper, Cordts, Davis, Drescher, Elsberg, Fancher, Fechter, Gates, Goodsell, Hill, Hinman, Lewis, L'Hommedieu, Malby, McEwan, Page, Prime, Raines, Saxe, Stevens, Tully} in ‘Warnick and White, Republicans—d, Against--Ambler, Cassidy, Coggeshall, Gardner and Wilcox, Republicans; Cul- fen, Dooling, Fitagerald, Grady, Hasen- flug, Marks, Martin and MoCarren, Democrate—13, Absent—Armstrong, Republican. Grady Fought Hard, The close of the debate was spirited, the fight against the resolution being Jed by Grady, Democrat, and Cogges- hall, Republican. Coggeshal! lambasted his colleagues for playing @ political trick on the peo- ple of the State. He said the resolution was to penmit State Leader Odell ta Grady declared’ that the resolution would not accomplish anything, as a re- port could got he pre) upon which “have com ymanded the gas company to produce Its books and the ' Logislative Committee cannot get at them for months,” ‘Tho resolution was moved shortly be- fore noon, Senator Page attacking the McClellan administration for renewing lighting eogtracts that were rejected by the is administration, “Tho feel’ sald tthe’ Senator, “that there Is a mysterious connection between the gas companies and city aa. talnistration,” Benator Grady charged that the mov- ing spirit in the gas investigating pro- position was @ ‘sore Democrat,” a newsphper owner who had sought the Democratic nomination for President. ‘Tammany had been abused and forced to give him a renomination, because, said Senator Grady, it wanted te hold his newspaper in line, “This investigating resolution is the result of a miserable political deal,” continued the Senator, “I know all about it, It was fixed up between Hearst and the Republican machine to hurt the regular Democratic candidate for Mayor,” For Mud Slinging. The whole programme, replied Senator Grady, was to organize a mudslinging machine for the next campaign. Senator Elaberg aald it made no dit- erence where the resolution came from, so long as it meant an amelioration of the present conditions in New York, "It looks as if there was something rotten in Denmark,” declared Senator Elsberg, MG, firmly asad that an ine pide, il sho wthe need of cor- fe lwilalgn.” “Senator Cassi the Snaungent| fi fun at the delist, the resol Stein Obst the Delon Of Bae Was by ot ly and te lated mand.

He went to the stand smiling. He sald that he regatied the price of gas and electricity In New York as very Nigh, and that he talked the matter over wi. Cumnissloner Oakley on sev- eral occasions, They then dropped the matter temporarily, “I supposed that when the proper time came Commissioner Oakley would bring tt up again,” sald the Mayor, “Did you know that Commissioner Oakley had begun negotiations with the company?” “No, From April to November I sup- posed that he was doing nothing about the matter.” “Id you make any recommendation to the Commissioner?" "E ald not.” At this juncture Justice Kelly asked Lawyer Shearn, attorney for tho plain: tiff, what bad faith he waa trying to impute to the Mayor, The lawyer re- plied that the elty’s thoney could ‘not be spent without the Mayor's approval and that the Mayor should have stop- ped the projected payment of the gas ‘bills, He should have refused to coun- teraign the warrant, sald the lawyer, and he should have brought an action ‘to annul the contract on the ground of ‘bad faith and collusion, Checked by the Court. “All the taxpayers suits I ever heard of,” put in Justice Kelly, “have been for fhe purpose of preventing city officials from doing some wrong act, and not because the Mayor failed to inst!- Kute @ sult to stop @ subordinate frony dotn ,Confine yourself to that the contract hed been certified” continued the Mayor, “I sent for Commissioner Oakley, He ex- plained me in detail why he had alanel the oontraet, showed me the re ductions he had obtained, and assured me that it was the best he could do, “T was impressed by his sincerity, 1 belleve that he was sincere—know he E pW YOR believed 4m cpanisations’) but not the! make Benatohr ‘do sont that would or die.” het) Hah passed a Ma committee sa oat A smelling committee to go to New Loven Malby, chainman of th nance Committés, spoke in favor resolution, declaring that ‘the panies refused to inform mittee how it cont to gas, — MAYOR ADMITS GAS IS TOO HIGH.
