When w was before the Grand Jury he The action of the District-Attorney in subpoenaing the brokerage house and private bank managers is in- aicative of the fact that the accounts he has already subpoenaed and ex- amined have not proved so fruitful aa ho had expected. Apparently they did not disclose the deposits of such eums of money as information had led him to believe were made at stated times. This incjined him to the belief that if such sums had been received by the men under investigation and not deposited in their regular banks they had been used for stock speculation. To this end came the subpoenaing of the managers of thirty brok firms in thie.city, twelve in Buffalo and two in Albany, In addition to this the dubpoenas called for the ap» ance of the managers of eighteen uffalo banks and twelve Albany banks.

Mott-of Utica to See Him on Highway Con- tract That Had Been Held Up. OSBORNE NEARS TRAIL. First Believed. Mistake Had Been Made, but Later Sees Link to Official “Pull.” . By Samuel M. Williams, Metall Correspondent of The Bveaing Wertd. ALBANY, Jan. 28—The name of Charlies F. Murphy jr, nephew of the Tammany leader, was brought into the Osborne graft investigation to-day in connection with road con- tractors’ bonds. Murphy ts an in- surance broker at No. 76 William street, New York, and agent for bonding companies. He bas been ac- tive in getting business from, State contractors. Daniel L. Mott of Utica secured a $67,000 road contract last summer as lowest bidder in a public letting. He was immediately solicited by bonding agents, among them Murphy, who wrote several soliciting letters of a legitimate business form. But for some reason Mott did not receive his contract from the High- ways Department. There were three weeks’ delay. On Aug. 25, 1918, Mott received this telegram from New York: “If you wire me at Hotel Hampton, Albany, will execute and file contract 1092 awarded to you. (Signed.) “CHARLES F. MURPHY JR.” Mr. Mott did not take his bonds from Murphy and nothing resulted from the telegram. Investigator Os- borne made diligent inquiry inte what Murphy meant by offering to cxecute and file the contract. “What connec- tion or authority had Murphy with the Highway Department to put through this delayed contract?" asked Osborne. ‘The witness did not know. Hecre- tary Fuller of the Highways Depart- ment volunteered to throw some light ‘on the subject. SAYS CONTRACT WAS HELD UP BY INVESTIGATORS. He explained that the contract had been held up temporarily in the Comptroller’s office by efficiency in- vestigators, who were busy at that time, and not by the Highways De- partment or outside influence. As for Murph; telegram, Secretary Fuller was at « loss to understand it. Mur- phy, he said, never visited the depart- ment on this or any other contract, and had not influenced or delayed it in any manner. After much discussion Investigator Osborne said: “While the text of thi certainly open to strong inference: that Murphy could influence this de- layed contract, yet I am inclined to regard it as a careless use of words, If we insert the word ‘bond’ in the telegram it might clear the atmos- phere. I think in fairness we: might read the message this way: ‘Will ex- ecute and file bond on contract.’” Secretary Fuller of the Highway {| Department agreed with this view and the subject was dropped. Contractor Mott said he had not eiven up political contributions, al- though often solicited. He had been invited to attend “Bagman” Fowler's conferences at Byracuse, but declined. He threw light on an even earlier attempted hold-up of contractors, “In 1908,” said Mr. Mott. “I was called on the telephone by a Demo- cratic leader of Buffalo and invited to attend @ conference in New York. I went there and met the charming Democratic State Committeeman, Mr. Connors, who said the Democratic party was out to win the election, and if they did they expected to make road work more lucrative, “I anid I wasn't int and re- mained only a few minutes. There were a number of other contractors there at the time.” RNE LIGHT; THINKS HE HAG STRUCK TRAIL. Thinking over the meaning of the Murphy telegram during recess, a revelation suddenly flashed on In- veastigator Osborne that put a new phase on the*whole case. The bond- ing combines game was not worked in the Highways Department, but through the State Comptroller's office. It was there that Mott’s contract was held up, not if the Highways Depart ment. Secretary Fuller had testified that his office was only waiting for the return of the contract from the Comp- troller #0 it could be sent to Con- tractor Mott and the work started, Mr, Osborne ordered Mott recalled for Sees telegram ia] ; the afternoon session to develop the new trail. 4 ‘The meaning of Murphy's telegram now became clear, and the cloak of charitable interpretation that had firat been thrown over it was cast aside, Murphy meant just what the of the telegram said. It was that he could get the contract out of the Comptroller's office, where it was held UP, and sent to the Highways Depart- ment, which was waiting to execute it. The only move necessary was to get it out of the Comptroller's office. Investigator Osborne said he be lleved he had struck the bonding trail at lect. A law enacted last year by the Legislature required all highway contracts to be sent to the Comp troller before final execution. In that office, which Tammany controle, all the det and names in contracts are revealed. Having been unable to find any evi- dence of close co-operation between the Highv-ays Department and the bonding combine Mr. Osborne said he bell. sed that now he would find it in the Comptroller's department.

THINKS CARLI®LE SHOULD PUT “PIE BOOK” IN EVIDENCE. No request .was made to-day on Highways Commissioner John N. Car- by Mr. Osborne, the State graft {nquisitor, for the Commissioner's “ple book,” which figured so prom- inently in the hearing yesterday. This book, it was testified, was used by Mr. Carlisle for keeping a record of the highway jobs he handed out at the request of political leaders. A general rumor to-day was that Mr. Osborne had decided to let Mr. Carlisls offer the book in evidence. Tt was said that he felt it was not his duty to demand the production of the book, but rather it behooves Mr. Carlisle to put it in evidence and ex- plain its contents, Mr. Fuller, who is acting personal representative of Mr. Carlisle at the hearing, said Mr. Osborne might have the book at any time he asked for it. “There is nothing wrong nor un- usual about keeping this book,” Mr. Fuller said. “It was merely a rec- ord, I understand it, of the recom- GIRLS. ASSEMBLE IN.PROTEST AT LACK OF WORK a Some Tell of Insults When Employers Speak of an Easier Way for Them. Between 600 and 600 working girls met this afternoon in Cooper.

Agitation following the recital of the experiences of Misa Rose Axelrod in getting employment and losing #ed to to-day’s meeting, it being the Purpose of the girls to force public attention to their condition. Nearly all the girls were neatly and some smartly dressed. But there were groaps of poorly clad workers whose pinched cheeks and general appearance told of thelr struggle for existence. / Miss Cuffe calléd the meeting order and acted as chairman. She said that it was the business of the Government to provide worl: for those who are able and willing to work. When workingwomen began to think for themselves, she said, they would be able to force the hand of the Ad- ministration, Rose Schneiderman, Vice-President of the Women’s Trade Union, was the principal speaker. “Women workers,” said she, “should possess the full value of all they pro- duce. There are a lot of women who have said that woman's place is in the home—that the men should do the work and administer the affaire of the country. “These women do not realize that there are thousands of their sex who’ mendations that employees of the de- partment received. Knowledge of the existence of the book came through tho testimony of Theron Akin, a former Congreasman. He said that when he went to see Mr. Carlisle to ask favor in the transfer of an engineer the Com- missioner produced the book and told Akin he already had his share of patronage. GECRET CONFERENCE ON LEGIS LATIVE GRAFT INQUIRY. Republican leaders of the Senate and Assembly had a secret conference this afternoon to decide what to do about a legislative graft investigation. There are two propositions. One is for @ sweeping investigation by a special Assembly committee with em- ployed counsel. ‘The other is for a limited inquiry con- ducted either by a special or stand-! ing committee sitting in Albany and! having no counsel and or er Sweet favors State favor limited inquiry.
