In expectation of catching an occa-
sional cool puff from the bay the Police
Investigating Committee transferred its
headquarters this morning to Part l. of
the Superior Court, around on the south
side of the Court 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
mlttee should continue it's sessions right
along through the Summer. now that 1t
hal 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-
n.ence.
Il 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.
so far as the Senators are concerned,
they would be sustaining great finan-
cial loss by making continuous Sum-
mer session Of it, but l suppose they
would be willing to sacrifice something
for the public good. This work is all
thrown in, you know.
II 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 If 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. Goff was very emphatic in his
views on the subject. at would simply
be 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..
Goff and his associates intended to fol-
low up the lead which they opened yes,
terday, with additional evidence, and
show what perguisites the police re re,
ceived from business men whom they
allowed to violate corporation ordi-
nances.
No Women as Witnesses.
For the first time in two weeks there
room. Mr. Goffs gentle June buds"
were to be given rest for to-day.
Mr.. Goff called of a long list of names
of witnesses, most OF whom were pres
ent, but thrre were number Of alb
sentees. Before calling any witnesses,
Mr.. Nicoll asked very Deliberately, wheth-
the protection of the Committee.
In answer to this question Mr.. Con
asked what was the condition MItI OF Mr., M

A Committee" said Mr. GOff.
n Chairman Lexow said that IT would be
proper to state that Granger had not yet
been discharged from the subpoena, and
as such he might be regarded as under
the protection OF the Committee.
