| Mr.. Sinclair arose and said: IF It Ia not
impertinent, 1 would like to make state
ment," and was proceeding to make IL
| when Mr.. Lentz cried: Il object! The
| time for Mr.. Sinclair to make statements
before this committee is when he takes the
stand as a witness. as l presume he will,
| and is under OATH Turning again to Mr..
| Sinclair, Mr.. Lentz SAID: You want to
explain that Mr.. Hogan has those books p
| Yes. sir ..s..
rs not that man under your control?"
Mr.. Hull-This is out OF order. The gen.
! tleman from Ohio at first objected to Mr..
Sinclair making any statement because he
had not been sworn, and now he proceeds
to examine him.
Mr.. Lentz-I have tried as many cases in
court as the chairman of this committee
and in my experience | have never known
a prosecuting attorney to be denied the
right to demand of a person present at a
hearing to produce a paper which it is
shown in evidence that he has.
Mr.. Hull-The gentleman from Ohio is
only member of the committee. the same
as we all are, and not the prosecuting at
torney in this case.
81 move. then, Mr. Chairman, that the
committee direct Mr.. Sinclair to produce
the memorandum book taken from Mr..
Cornell" said Mr.. Lentz.
Mr. Hull requested that Mr.. Sinclair
should do this.
During the session John c. CLANCY. an
attorney, sat near Chairman Hull at the
end of the council table.
Mr.. Sulzer, directly addressing Mr.. Cha
ney. asked: DO you represent the Stand
ard Oil Company and the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan Mine?"
Mr.. Chaney-I do not. / have no con-
nection with them.
Mr. Sulzer-Who pays you?
Mr. Chaney-I am retained by the Idaho
officials.
Mr.. Sulzer-What officers?
Mr.. Chaney-I have received $3.50 from
Governor Steunenberg, Judge Hibner. and
Mr.. Forney.
Mr.. Sulzer-Don't you know that Judge
Hibner represents the Standard Oil Trust?
Mr.. Chaney-I do not.
Mr.. Sulzer-I think Lord PauncefOte
and the Standard Oil Trust are running
this committee.
Chairman Hull Chotlyl-That is an in
suit to this committee.
Mr.. Sulzer-It is an insult to us all; if
you are looking for trouble you can have
It.
Mr.. Lentz Ito Chaney)-From what
SOURCE 10 you expect your PAY
Mr.. Hull-What difference does that
make?
Mr.. Stevens-I think the gentlemen from
New York and Ohio should not forget to
be courteous.
Mr. Dick-I think some of these ques-
lions have been insulting.
Mr.. Sulzer-I know the gentleman is
sensitive.
Mr.. Dick-Not at anything you may say.
Mr.. Sulzer-We will have our say here.

REPORT ON THIRD AVENUE.
Receiver Grant Flies = Statement OF
the Road,S Condition


the Roads Condition.
NEW YORK, March 14:-The report of
Hugh ]. Grant. Temporary receiver of the
Third Avenue Railroad, Intended TO give
as comprehensive an idea as he has ac-
quired of the condition OF the road and its
subsidiary lines, was fled with Judge
Laconbe in the United States Circuit Court
today. There was a sharp advance in
Third Avenue stock today in an otherwise
generally heavy stock market, 1t was
caused by purchases by the firm of Provost
Brothers, which for ten days past has
been large buyer Of the stock. 1t has
been known that the firm was not buying
for its own account.
The report of Receive. Grant was not
favorable. but it did not stop the buying
by the firm. The stock. which had opened
at SIS, declined 10 Sc early in the day. !ts
steady absorption, however, frightened
those traders who had been selling il short,
and there was something like panic OF
the bears Just before the close of business.
In the scramble TO get stock the price
jumped six points to c. within few min
utes. closing at a reaction to 60, a net ad-
vance for the day of five points.
The total sales were 81. $40 shares There
was talk TO the effect that James r. Keene
was interested in the recent steady alb
sorption Of the stock having discovered
that the floating supply was very limited,
and that a squeeze OF IT, shorts that might
even approach the dln.SnsIons of 4 corner
might prove prof able.

THE BILL OBJECTIONABLE.
The District Commissioners Opposed
to Incorporating u Company.


to Incorporating n Company.
A bill to incorporate the District Patrol
and Alarm Company OF the District OF Co
lumbia,' in which are interested Messrs.
Harry n. Brown and James A. Baldwin, of
Baltimore; George E. D. Baldwin. C. Hec-
tor Cleme, and NJ. p. Barnette, of Wash
ington; James Berry of New York, and
others, has been under consideration by
the Commissioners for several weeks. A
tentative report adverse TO the bill has
now been prepared and will probably be
transmitted to Congress with the full sup
port of the board.
By the terms of the act the new COM
pany would be enabled to install a system
of burglar fire alarms and maintain 4
force OF watchmen TO provide further pro-
lection to its patrons. This latter feature
is particularly Objectionable to the au-
thorities. The bill provides an organized,
separate. and distinctive force to do police
work entirely under its own regulations
and supervision, without reference to the
Police Department of the municipality,
reads the report. II is believed by the
Commissioners that such an extensive sys-
TEN would inevitably conflict with the
permanent police establishment. and that
il would furnish grounds for opposition 10
the proper enlargement of the Police De-
partment. 1t is also believed by the Com
missioners that all police supervision
should properly be under the direction and
control OF the Police Department and it
would be better to provide for an increase
of the present force TO have the policing Of
the city properly done than TO encourage
independent organizations or corpora
lions by giving them police duties and au-
thority.

CONFUSING HOUSE NUMBERS.
Protests Against Oranges In Massa-
chusetts Avenue Southeast.

The District Commissioners have inform
ed II. c. Lybrand. 12f1 Massachusetts Az
enue, that the changing of house numbers
in the block in which he resides is in ac-
eordance with the plan now i'll existence
throughout the city. and that it viii be
necessary TO change the number TO 1923
southeast, as ordered by the Building In
spector.
Similar complaint was received by the
Commissioners from Mr.. Oldham, living in
the same block.
II is explained by the Building Inspector
that these changes are not arbitrary. but
required in order to bring about conformi-
ty in. street numbering. The department,
he said. greatly regretted the necessity
for change, especially as in one instance IL
required the removal and PRACTICAL de-
struction of a colored. artistic glass door,
in which the number had been placed. The
numbers now. it was said conform with
the general plan in vogue in the city and
will not have 70 be changed again.

Big Wagon Trade but Car
Hogs Arrive Late.

The hog market esterday was quoted
as 3 to 10 cents lower in conformity
with the conditions prevailing at ali the
Of hogs offered here. There was q heavy
supply Of wagon hogs on sale and they
all sold at good prices for the market
and at all they could command. There
were three full cars made up from he
wagon offerings alone, which armour
shipped cut among mis- purchases These
and the car lot offerings also were sold
at the best the general market coudi-
tons everywhere would permit. In gen
eral the sale stuff yesterday was pretty
common stock. There were two loads
which brought the top price of s. 50, and
these were good hogs, and were worth
the money, but as for the rest, they were
generally mixed Up lots Of lights, coarse
heavies and very ordinary hogs. There
was one bunch Of five cars which sold
well, but they were mixed lights and
offal The rest were only a shade better
and all the run Of hog receipts was Of
only Indifferent quality and were sold
well as the general hog markets every
where went. The heavy supply Of wagon
hogs came in during the early trading,
and the car stuff, heavy as it was, did
not commence until late in the day, and
in fact Gear into the night hogs were
coming in and we're promptly yarded and
cared for and looked over by the buyers
and sold as fast as possible. The lower
trend Of the market was only in line
with all the rest OF the hog centers ev-
erywhere and this point as nearly held
its own as the balance.
