SERGT. DUFFY KEPT ON GRAND JURY'S ANXIOUS SEAT. Sergt. Peter Duffy, formerly of In- apector Sweeney's staff, was an anxious spectator around the Criminal Courts to-day until after the Grand Jury re- parted the indictments against Sweency, Robinson and Hartigan. Duffy has been accused of being one of Sweeney’s col- iectors. The Grand Jury took no action tn hie cane. @weeney, Robinson and Hartigan were not arraigned before Justice Gott to pelad to the indictments until 4 o'clock this aftern although the | wand Judy reported at 1.30 o'clock. | Justive Goff was in close conte ‘his chambers from 2 o'clock until 3 o'clock with District-Attorney Whitman, and there is ground for believing that thar conference had to do with Impend- ing revelations of a startling nature in the police graft investigation and in other matters direct!

Then I would sue out a writ of habeas corpus and have the matter thoroughly tested if I had to take tt before the Court of Appeals, the high- est court of our State, "I don't belleve the city ordinance pro- viding for private hack stands 1n front of hotels 1s valid, It 1s special privilege and I don't belleve the Court of Appeals would sanction it “The taxicab companies are paying $100,000 a year for these special privileges, “Why that is graft.

Won't Tell What Word He Bears, but Hopes to Make It Known To-Night. Judge Martin A, Knapp, who ie try- ing to bring about a settlement of the threatened firemen's strike left the Broadway Central Hotel late this after- noon, following a long conference with representatives of the Brotherhood of Firemen. He went to the hotel to Present to the men the outcome of a session he held this morning with the conference committee of ratlroad man- agers representing the fifty-four roads that will be affected in the event of « atrike. “I ean say nothing now,” said Judge ‘Knapp. “1 must hurry right up to the Manhattan Hotel and meet the man- ere." “Does this mean that following your relation of what took place this morn- ing the men have a proposition to make?" wes aaked. “T cant aay’, waa the reply, “but T may have something to give out later on, I am going to seo the inanagers and then hurry back here and confer with the men agmin.” Not long before this statement was made President Carter of the firemen's union had declared that if a “proper Proposition” to the men was not the outcome of the conference between the mediators and the managers a strike would be called. With the crucial hour in the threat- ened strike of more than 30,000 firemen at hand Judge Knapp admitted to an Evening World reporter that the grav- ity of the situation was not to be uini- mized, “It would be against public policy atthe present to reveal the exact wlt- uation,” sald Judge Knapp at the Hotel Manhattan? “but I may #ay that condi- tions now prevailing are the mont grave, complicated and threatening that dave confronted us in fifteen years.” From other sources it was searned that while the threatened tie-up ts crit- {cal in the extreme, it is not probable that the strike call will come to-day. So long as the Government offices are accepted by both sides there can be no strike order issued, it was declared, Judge Knapp, 0 returned from Washington to- sald that his visit there had been to see his family and that he had no conferences with gov- ernment officials. He had brought back no new proposition to submit, he added, and said that until he had concluded his conference with the representatives of the fifty-four Hastern roads involved and submitted their proposals to the men he could not say what the day would bring forth. Later in the day President Willlam 8, Carter of the Brotherhood of Firemen declared that he would not issue a strike call in the event of affairs reaching such @ point until all the delegates to the conti shad returned to thelr varl- ous stations, Nor will a strike be de- clared until Judge Knapp had ceased his ministrations on behalf of adjust ment. Carter sald that the engineers, who have an axreement with the railroads, would ny be involved tn the event of the fly en Kolng out. ‘That's all I can say,” he said, “th we hear from Judge Knapp the result of his conference with the managers. If he doesn't bring us a proper propost- tlon a strike will most certainly be or- dered, Make no mistake about that. It all iinges on what the managers have to submit. “There will be no strike eatl tasued until all negotiations have been broken ff, In that event the call will go out and forty-eight houre notice will be given.

The Ambassador telographed that when you were good enough to show him your telegram to me he pointed out this fact. “Your Excellency must, therefore, be aware that the reports which appear to have reached you that orders have already been given to land forces, were inaccurate. The Ambassador, who {s fully informed, is nevertheless again instructed to afford you any desirable informa- tion, Fresh assurances of friendship to Mexico are unnecessary after two years of proof of patience and good will, “In view of the special friendship and relations between the two countries I cannot too strongly impr. upon Your Excellency the vital Importauce of the early establishment of that real peace and order which this Government has so long hoped to see, both because American citizens and their property must be protected and respected, and also because this nation sympathizes deeply with the afflictions of the Mexi- can people. “In reciprocating the anxiety shown in Your Excellency's messago I feel it my duty to add sincerely and without reserve that the course of events during the past two years culminating in the present most dangerous situation creates in this coantry extreme pessimism the conviction that the present paramount duty Is the prompt relief of the situation, WILLIAM H.

The big calibre guns possessed by the rebels in the Arsenal were almost constantly in use, and the Federal artillery brought another siege gun into action, but did not succeed in silencing the rebel fire. Brisk fighting continues this forenoon. There are indications of developments of a character that may soon relieve the situation to a measureable degree, It is not possible to transmit’ details because of the close censorship. About noon the rebel gunners at the Arsenal poured a shower ot shrapnel across the city toward the National Palace, but did not succeed in doing much damage. The Madero Government plartted dynamite near the Citadel ami moved cannon during the armistice. The American Embassy water sup- ply was cut off throughout yesterday. Daiz has ample supplies, but the Government is short. The Belgian Legation has been partially destroyed. Desertions from the Government side to the rebels is going on. The United States Embassy and the district surrounding it, in which there are many American residents, was not touched by any projectiles after the removal of the Federal battery which had heretofore drawn the fire of the rebel gunners at the Arsenal. MADERO BLAMES DIAZ. American residents, with their nerves shaken by the almost constant explosion of shrapnel during the past week, departed yesterday and to- day in the direction of Vera Cruz, The danger zone was practically deserted to-day, except by the soldiers on the firing line and superior of- ficers passing from post to post. President Madero has issued an official bulletin saying that Gen, Diaz broke the agreement for a twenty-four-hour truce yesterday. The rebel General, according to Madero, placed artillery at the intersection of Baldoas and Victoria streets and opened fire upon the Federals, thus com- pelling his own troops to renew the fighting from their side.
