\ HUNT INSPECTORS’ WEALTH TO FIND GRAFT | The “ Circulation Books Open to All.” Willcox Leads New mts Fight for Subway Deal PRICE ONE OENT. Coprriaht, 1913. by Press Pal Ce. (The New York World). WILLCOX Justice Hendrick, Who Granted Order, Hears Argument on Motion to Vacate It. M'CALL OPPOSES PLAN. Says If He Were on Board He Would Wait Until Court Passed on Case. Undaunted by last night's refusal of the Appellate Division to set aside the injunction granted yesterday by Justice Hendrick forbidding the con- summation of the subway operating contracts, counsel for the Inter- borough, the Public Service Com- miseion and the Board of Estimate made enother effort to-day to dis solve the restraining order. This time they appealed directly to Jus- tee Hendrick, who granted their request that he listen to a motion to vacate the injunction, eon, representing the Board of Esti- mate; George 8. Coleman, chief counse! to the Public Service Commission, an sel to Mr, Coleman,” called on Justice Hendrick in the ex parte term of the Supreme Court at 12.39 o'clock this at- ternoon. They conferred with the Judge at the bench in low tones. ‘At the conclusion of the conference Justice Hendrik announced that he had en to notify Clarence J. arst lawyer who drew up the John J, Hopper In- junction, to appear this afternoon at 2.0 o'clock. Justice Hendrick sald he would be prepared at that hour to hear arguments advanced by Mr, Watson, Mr. Coleman and others in favor of setting aside the injunction, Mr, Shearn was directed to be ready to answer these arguments, JUDGE SAYS LAW PERMITS THE NEW. MOTION. “Under the law,” sald Justice Hen- @rick, “counsel in behalf of a public poard has the right to ask that an In- junction such as that issued yesterday be sot aside. I am disposed to give & full hearing on the matter.” While the Public Service Commission, through {ts Chairman, Mr, Willcox, was seeking to get around the delay that Will be entailed by waiting for argu- ments on the injunction until to-morrow morning—the time set by Justice Hen- drick—! 1, the new Chairman, who 1s likely to take his seat at gny time, wae declaring himself as opposed to the that order had been served upon me, 3 should direct « full and abso- Inte obedience to its spirit, which means an absolute cessa:ion of any kind of action om the part of the Commission until the Court has finally passed upon the applica- tion.” Judge McCall had been informed of the position of counsel for t mission that the injunction affected only the final action of the Commission and that the Commission could go ahead and approve the contracts and send them over to the Hoard of Estimate.

Taft, leaning on the arm of Lieut.-Commander Timmons, naval aide to the President, threaded her cauttous way through the mazes of the dance that has taken the capital by storm, It was near midnight when it all hap- pened. In the midst of a swaying rag- time and “turkey-trotting” there was a sudden break in the jangle of sabres, rustling of silks and patter of feet as Mrs. Taft swept onto the floor. Look everybody whispered, “Mrs, Taft is dancin: “And it's the one-step,” swer in bated breath, At the end of the dance Mra.

NO INCORPORATION YET Seven Measures by Gov. Sulzer Introduced in Both Houses at Albany To-Day. ALBANY, Feb. 5.—Seven bills, drafted by Gov. Sulzer and embodying his recommendations on Stock Kxchange reforms, as outlined tn his recent mer- sage to the Legislature, were intro- duged to-day by Senator Stilwell, While provision is made for fixing & maximum rate of interest on call loans at 15 per cent, the question of tn- corporating the New York Stock Ex- change is etfil open. A committee re- presenting the exchange told the Gov- ernor last week that If these two pro- positions were enacted into law, ‘“dis- astrous results would follow. ‘The advisabijity of incorporating the Exchange or leaving it an a voluntary Sevocintion is @ matter that should be very carefully considered,” said the Governor. ‘However, I am not com- mitted directly or Indirectly in regard to this matter, although we are at work on @ bill dealing with the eubject.” Majority leader Aaron J. Levy intro- ducted the bills in the Assembly and summarized their provisions in the fol- lowing statement: * “The establishment of a maximum of 15 per cent. for call loans {8 sought in one of the bills and provision is made to declare a contract for a greater amount usurious.

A pretended purchase or sale would be made presumptive evidence of an intent to defraud. The object of this measure is to prevent wash sales for the piypose of affecting the prices of curities. “The Dill relating to trading by bro- kers against customers’ orders would prohibit a broker from purchasing or ling stocks and trading them in ‘against his customers’ orders, The oh- fect of this measure is to prevent a broker from taking advantage of the confidential relations with his customer for his own profit, “The sixth moasure deals with the tn- solvency and hypothecation of custom- ers securities, and would make it a fel- ony for a broker to receive from @ cun- tomer, ignorant of the broker's insol- vency, Moneys or securities except in Hquidation of a debt due to the broker, if the bustomer loses as a result of such transaction, This measure ts designed to prevent the unscrupulous broker from continuing in business after it is def- nitely known by him that he ts tnsol- vent. | SEVENTH BILL MAKES IT EASIE | TO WIPE OUT BUCKET SHOPS. | “The bucketahop bill provides that @ | witness shall not be excused from te tifying upon the ground that his tos- |tjmony may tend to conviet him of a jerime with the proviso that he shall |not be prosecuted for any incriminat- ling matter concerning which he may testify object of this meaaure is to more effectively enforce the law against | bucketshons, which tofore has been scount of the privileges of witnesses | Another provision of this bill would | peau that but one party to a bucket shop transaction should be cognizant that it Is not a legitimate trade, At sent both the broker and the cus. tomer must be shown to have such MnO; GO ne nas ak amid ees ”" i TWICE WEDDED AiMeult on | NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, 1913.

Walsh of the East One Hundred and Twentye sixth street precinct, in affidavit form this afternoon. Fox's confesslor involves three inspectors, but with these high officials he had no direct dealings. He took his information that the inspectors shared in the graf( from Walsh and from his familiagity with conditions. The statement of Fox was dictated to a stenographer. He gave ¢ list of the persons from whom he collected money with the dates and amounts as closely as he could recollect. Much of the testimony on this line was given from notes made by Fox, some of which were based on memory and some on written memoranda.
