PS INQUISTTORS | BALL FOR SHONTS, -BUTCANT ETH Want to Know About $500 Transaction Between Inter- _ borough and Wood's Friend. “SLUSH FUND” ELUSIVE. Baldwin Explains That $10,000 Payment for Another Speed Control Patent. ‘The Thompson Investigating Com- mittes was temporarily balked to-day fm an effort to get at the inside of a $800 ‘transaction between Mansfield Fuhrer, an Interborough purchasing agent, and W. C. Banks, who was a partner of Robert Colgate Wood be- fore the latter was appointed a Pub- Ue Service Comminsioner, Fuhrer had Been promising for several days td Produce his bank books. Ho failed to @ppear to-day and Senator Thompson Sapued a subpoena for Theodore P. Bhonts, President of the Interborough, Mr, Shonts could not be found. Counselor Quackenbush, for the In- Revborough, appeared before the com- ‘Mittee and explained that, as this is the day before a holiday, all the peo- le in the Interborough left carly. “ZT inbist that due respect be shown this committee,” sald Senator Thomp- won. “It will not do any good to have Jewyers from my county or my vil- lage trying to interfere with me or with this investigation, We want to find gut about that $500 transaction Bnd wo are going to do tt.” Afthur J. Baldwin, lawyer, of No. #1 Pine Street, told on the witness @tand before the committee to-day of ‘the $10,000 payment made to him by the General Railway Signal Com- any for a speed contro! patent. He aid that the patent was that of Han- mibat C. Ford, which ho had bought for Ford only a short while before for $5,000. ‘When asked if the Ford patent was © than the Simmen patent, ‘Which has been given as the reason why the contract for the signal con- tract in the Fourth Avenue subway ‘wes ewung from the Federal Signal Company to the General Company, Mr. Baldwin said: “The Bimmen system is a mere de~ tall in the application of the principle embodied in the Ford patent. Ford Wavented the basin idea.” When he was asked if he would let tht committee make a transcrip of hin account in the Essex County Trust Company of New Jersey Mr, Baldwin declared that he wouldn't, ‘The nearer the Thompson commit- tee comes to the “yellow dog fund” that fs alleged to have figured in the @ward of the switch and signal con- tract in the new Fourth Avenue sub- way the harder it is to get at the facts, Preaident Wilmer W. Salmon of the General “allway Signal Com- pany, which got the $1,600,000 con- Yract, has not yet told anything of value in that direction; but he ts to continue on the witness stand to-day, and the committee have hopes of him, Mr. Salmon 1s an expert in his busi- ness, a keen-eyed, clear-thinking cap- tain of industry, a wise student of men and mechanism, with a vast store of information and experience—but he has not yet given any reason why bis pompany was so suddenly inspired to Duy the Simmen speed control sys- tem. The nearest he has come to it baw been to say that his own com- pany’s speed control system could not be worked without a license from Bimmen; therefore they bought a license from Simmen to use certain features of his plan. ‘There ts a curious gap in the testl- mony here, Mr. Salmon has not given Qty reason why the J control ele- ment #0 suddenly became important fust at the time he bought it. Bids for the new Fourth Avenue subway had been invited months before; they were all in, among them the bid of his own company, which was too high, and that of the Federal Company, which was the lowest and seemed to bea sure winner. No one was bothered about a speed control until this a of the proceedings—when suddenly Balmon bought the Simmen rights and @aked the Public Service Commission to reopen the bidding.
