Dy Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, April l2.-Major Ben.
Buttcrworth had the floor again when
the Pollard -Breckinridge case was re-
sumed to-day. He began with the con-
sideration OF Miss Pollard's letters to
James Rhodes. which he said were the
foundation OF the case. He did not care
anything about the top, he said. II there
was no foundation FOR 1t to rest upon.
After reading some of those letters at
lenghth, he came to those which were
dated in New orleans and which she
had said were written in Cincinnati and
sent to her mother to mail to him.
He laid great stress on these transac-
tions. declaring that there was great
mystery surrounding the letters, and
exclaimed: There Is one human being
alive and well who could clear up the
mystery OF those letters. That is the
mother who gave birth 70 this woman,
and she is not called, That woman Is
alive and we'll in Kentucky, and she Is
not called. Tney may ask why, we did

.G|LR0Y BACK FROM ALBANY.
Only One Salary Increasing Bill
Meets His Approval.
Says the Statement that He VIII
Not Run Again Is Unauthorized.

Mayor Gilroy returned this morning
from Albany. WI ere he had been to see
the Governor In regard to legislation
affecting New York City. The Mayor
objects to pending bills increasing sal
aries of city officials, except one. The
exception Is the one increasing the sal
ary Of the President of the Department
Of Taxes from 5000 to $780, and the
salaries Of the other Tax Commissioners
from $4,000 to 5000.
He opposed the increase Of pay Of
Supt. of Buildings Brady from 5000 to
1850. He expressed to the Governor
his emphatic disapproval OF the bill to
create a school teachers pension fund,
and also an increase In the salaries Of
policemen.
In regard to the new City Hall. he
said that he and the other city officials
were awaiting the action OF the Leg.sla-
ture. II It decided to repeal the present
law and keep the old city Hall on its
present site, a new site would have to
not repeal the law the Building Commits
sion Will go ahead with the work as
mapped out by 1t.
he had not discussed the subject with
the Governor or any one connected with
the Legislature.
Questioned about a report from AL
bany that he had told friend that he
would not again be candidate for
Mayor. Mr.. Gilroy said:
THE published statement conveys a
wrong impression. No one has been au-
thorized to make any such announce
ment for me. 1t is too early in the year
to talk politics, and l do not care to
say anything more on the subject"
The Mayor Is. of course. pleased, al
though he did not say so. that the bill
to make the terms of heads OF depart
ments expire with his own was killed
with the aid OF Republican votes.
Owing to the failure of this bill, even

DECIDES AGAINST M'KANE.
Judge Lncombe Leaves the Case to
the United states Supreme Court.

the United states Supreme Court.
Judge Lacombe, OF the United States
Circuit Court. sitting in chambers this
morning. denied the application OF John
Y. McKane for writ OF habeas corpus.
The application. which was made last
Friday by Atchlson Griffin, counsel
for McKane, was based on a section OF
the Revised Statutes which provides that
prisoner shall have the option of bail
pending an appeal Judge Lacombe says
this section has frequently been invoked
to postpone the execution OF the death
penalty. but because 1t permitted Of an
indefinite number OF applications and
appeals without requiring certificate
Of reasonable doubt, the attention OF the
introduced bill In Congress intended to
correct possible abuses Of the law. The
bill never passed and the statute re-
mains.
The opinion reads: This Is an appl-
cation to be discharged from custody
alleged to be illegal, and II no sufficient
warrant of law Is shown for taking the
prisoner out Of that custody writ OF
habeas corpus will not be granted"
Judge LaCombe holds that McKane Is
now in the custody in which he was
when the first application for his release
was denied, and from which an appeal
was taken and that he must remain In
that custody until the final adjudication
Of the appeal by the Supreme Court OF
the United Safes.
