Henry Walters, day. With The Evening World before him, Senator Walters said: “It is not very often that I take notice of arti- cles or headlines published tn the press, But I have on my desk @ copy of The Evening World, with a scare head to the effect that a $500,000 fund has been raised to put through the so called 7-Cent Fare Bill. There is also an allegation In the same article that there is a man with the dough- bag’ in Albany. “If this is true, wa, the members of the New York State Senate, ought to know about tt. If any member of this body knows of any one or any set of persons ready to distribute money for the purpose of passing legislation, it is our duty to find out who they are.

Hughes. Will Senator Thompson please tell us who the ex-Governor is, if such |x the rank of the official he claims he|¢ had the conversation with?” Senator Thompson refused to go], into the question of the identity of the official, At least he would not name the official at the committee meeting. However, he may make known his identity on the floor of the nate when the Judiciary Commit- tee makes its reports, In justice to ex-Gov. Hughes, The Evening World is in a position to state that he was not the ex-high official mentioned as the man who had talked with Senator Thompson. James E, Watson, Albany corre- spondent for the New York Ameri- can, was the first witness called, Asked to explain the basis of a story rning the $500,000 sl fund ned under his name April 1, Watson submitted a copy of this Mr morning’s American in which Sena- the >mpsen ity.

COURT DROPS CONTEMPT ORDER AGAINST LAWYE Judge Mayer Relents After Criti- cising O'Neill for Delays in Fricke Trial. After severely rebuking Thomas J. O'Neill, attorney for Albert Paul ordering contempt of court pro- seedings against him and suspending him from practice in the United States Distriet Court except tn the Fricke case, Federal Judge Mayer reconsidered his action to-day and had the whole matter expunged from the record. Fricke is charged with treason. At- torney O'Neill has obtained several! postponements of the trial and was in court to-day to ask for another ad- journment on the grouna that he was so worn out by his work in the many cases he had tried since March 17 that he could not do justice to his cellent. Judge Mayer orderea O'Neill to pro. eed with the . saying he was tire of the delays and that it was unjust to keep walting the jury pane: of 300 men O'Netll said he had ne choi then bul to withdraw from the case and Jude Mayer ordered the a¢tion against him Later it became apparent that O'Ne! was exhausted. After consulting him Judge Mayer announced an adjour ment until Monday and ordered that th sction against the attorney be dropped UJ. $, CHANGES POLICY ON STABILIZING PRIGES Entire Matter Reopened as Result of Refusal to Accept Steel Scale.

Another reason why it Is believed that present disagreements regarding | the steel price matter will be straightened out is that President Wilson is understood to sanction the |price echedule recently arrived at, and it ts thought that he will use his influence to have it substantially maintained on the ground that it will work for the best business interests of the country et large. Lead'!ng steel stocks showed re- cessions in the early trading rang- ing from about a point to a point and a half, but later recovered most of th losses. Copper stocks were features of strength and showed gains ranging from large fractino to two points Utah was the leader of this group, Further substantial sales of the metal were privately reported, some of which were understood to be at 153-4 cents for spot copper. The price changes in the shipping shares largely reflected the whims of the pools operating in these issues. For instance, Atlantic Guif was etrong, scoring @ gain of about 2 points, while Mercantile Marine showed a loss of about that extent. ‘The favorable reception given to Endicott-Johnson stock had @ bene- ficial effect on leather shares, Endi- cott was largely oversubscribed shortly after the offering was made, evident disposition to await new de- velopments at the Peace Conference ‘The decision of the Director General of Railroads not to recognize the price agreement recently arrived at by steel manufacturers and the In- dustrial Board comes as a complete surprise to Wall Street.
