In expectation Of catching an occa-
sional cool puff from the bay the Police
Investigating Committee transferred it's
headquarters this morning to Part l. of
the Superior Court around on the south
side of the Count House. The big win
dows were all flung wide open but the
sea breezes were very shy. and what air
was stirring arose from the heated as
phalt pavements of City Hall Park like
the breath from a fiery furnace.
1t had been suggested that the Com
mittee should continue it's sessions right
along through the Summer, now that II
had struck such a rafting pace. and
Chairman Lexow said this morning that
he was in favor Of doing so. although
1t would not suit his personal conve-
nience.
II don't see how we can. however,
for Mr.. Goff. our counsel. says we must
come to a stop at the end of the month,
for he cannot stand 1t during the hot
weather.
80 far as the Senators are concerned.
they would be sustaining great f1nan-
cial loss by making a continuous Sum-
mer session of 1t, but I suppose they
would be willing to sacrifice something
for the public good. This work Is all
thrown in. you know.
81 have always been in favor Of keep
ing up the sessions until we have ex-
hausted the subject" he added. AS
Senator Lexow has a nice Summer
home on the hill at Nyack, overlooking
the Hudson, and swept by cool breezes
every night, he would not feel the strain
as much as some of the others. per-
haps.
Bradley Favors Seaside Sessions.
Uncle Dan Bradley said he would be
in favor of continuing the investigation
right along IL they would hold the ses-
sions at Coney Island or Rockaway
Beach, but to keep on in New York was
out of the question.
Mr.. Con- was very emphatic in his
views on the subject. at would simply
be a physical impossibility for me to go
on with this work much longer. We must
stop at the end OF next week."
At II o'clock. when work was resumed,
Chairman Lexow and Senators Bradley,
Cantor. Pound and O'Connor made up
a quorum. Counsellor Sutherland. from
Rochester, was in his customary place
and sharpened his pencil to take copi-
Gus notes Of the proceedings. and Mr..
Nicoll was back again from Albany to
relieve ex-Judge Ransom Of the duty
Of looking out for the interests of the
Police Department.
The witness chairs were filled with
produce merchants. grocers and ship
ping men. and 1t was evident that Mr..
Con and his associates intended to fol-
low up the lead which they opened yes.
