WHAT JUSTICE DUGRO SAID.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir. In your edition Of this morning YOU say
in editorial that being asked before the
Mazet Committee whether the custom ~ max
ing large campaign contributions did not tend
TO exclude poor man from the bench. an
svcred NO he ought to be able 70 borrow it,
You have no doubt been misinformed did not
answer as stated.
My recollection Of the matter which believe
YOU refer to Is that the inquiry was in sub
stance whether the necessity of a large c'nirou-
ton would not prevent the candidacy ~ poor
man. and my answer in substance was that y
would not necessarily. As he might b." anl" -
borrow the money The proposition suggested
10y the question and answer seems self-eViden'
Very respectfully yours.

COMMISSIONER KANE SEEKS DE1Ar.
A Motion for the Inspe ction of the Minutes
of the Grand Jury.


of the Grand Jury.
There was a hearing yesterday before Su-
preme Court Justice jerks in Brooklyn on the
motion for an inspection Of the minutes OF the
Grand Jury which indicted Sewer Commits
sioner James Kane for giving contract to
George Cunningham for the cleaning OF the
sewer basins at the alleged excessive price Of
$4.75 apiece without advertising for bids
Robert Fl. Elder. who appeared for the ac-
cused Commissioner. said that as they had the
right to ask that the indictment be set aside.
they had therefore the right to ask for the
foundation of tho charges. He also declared
his belief that the case had been moved from
the County Court to the Supreme Court in the
hope that the motion TO inspect the minutes
course Of his argument Mr.. Elder intimated
that tho point would probably be raised as to
whether the defendant should have been mr.
raigned In Kings county or New York county.
and also that an effort would bo made to have
the indictment quashed on the ground that no
fraud whatever was committed and that the
city has not lost cent by the transaction.
District Attorney Steele in opposing the mo-
tion said: This ease ought to be tried speed-
lily in the interest Of justice. Should there be
demurrer. followed by an appeal; the public
not to be enforced"
Justice jerks said: Il agree with the Dis
trict Attorney that there should be q speedy
trial OF this case. There Is defect in the ad-
trials. Twill cooperate with you for q speedy
trial in all matters that may come before me.
