POINT THAT INTERESTS BANKERS

An officer Of the City National Bank said he
did not to tell whether Mayer Van Wycks
two notes for $4,000 each had been discounted
by his bank Or not.
Mayor Van Wyck does not owe this banl. one
cent" said r. w. Poor, cashier of the Garfield
National Bank, to a Tribune reporter. The
testimony Of the Mayor is as straight gun
barrel. He said that he bought five thousand
shares for S250000 OF which $4,000 was in
cash and 100000 in promissory notes There
were three notes, for $4,000 and two for
S75 900 each. All given 70 Mr. Morse
president Of the American Ice Company. This
| bank bought the $4,000 note from Mr.. Morse
and the Mayor paid the money on 1t last Fri
day"
Then the Garfield Bank did not advance
money on the other two notesT' was asked.
NO sir it did not
WAS not the advance of $4,000 on the note
given by the Mayor to Mr.. Morse practically a
lcan?'
Not at all. 1t was secured by collateral and
was bought the same way other commercial
paper
This, then, has been the only transaction be-
tween the Mayor and the Garfield Bank In re-
gard to the American Ice Company"
81 can't answer to that" was the reply
Us 1t not true that the bank lent the Mayor
$1,000 for the purchase Of shares in the Knick-
erbocker Ice Company as he himself testified
les. Saturday."
ooh, that was way back IN '9S 1t was not
sSl. 900. but, as remember. $4,000 A, any
rate, 1t was paid for within sixty days"
Would not loan of 900 have been above
the 10 Fer cent limit established by the Ma
tional Banking Act?'
''Jf that do not care to speak"
How has Mr. Morse disposed OF the other
two notes for $4,000 each?"
ASK Mr. Morse"

CUT TO FORTY CENTS ADMITTED.

All eyes We're turned toward Governor
Roosevelt yesterday for the next DEVELOPMENT
in the Ice case. He passed through this city
In the morning on his way from Oyster Bay
to Albany. but declined to discuss the ques-
ton. A. B. Boardman of Boardman & Platt
also went TO Albany. Petitions are being cir
cuated for signature among the citizens of
New-York asking the Governor to remove the
Mayor from office. to appoint special grand
jury to investigate the charges brought against
him.
For the first time since the crusade upon the
extortionate Ice Trust was begun it was ad-
mitted yesterday at the head office Of the Amer
lean Ice Company that the retail price had
been reduced to 40 cents a hundred pounds.
Superintendent Winch however, kept up the old
fiction that 60 cents is the general rate. with
only occasional exceptions.
A note of warning has been sounded concern
Ing the probable immunity from prosecution of
any witnesses who may be examined by the
Attorney-General in such preliminary proceed
ines as those now going before Referee Nuss-
baum. Einstein & Townsend the Journals
attorneys prosecuting the Ice Trust said yester-
day that the danger would be avoided by not
calling the Mayor, Mr.. Carroll. Mr.. Morse, the
Dock Commissioners any other person whom
it is hoped to prosecute. Enough evidence Of
conspiracy to raise the price of a necessary Of
life could be secured from other sources, it was
said. On the other hand no such immunity ex-
lists for witnesses examined in the proceedings
before Justice Gaynor, and while it is true that
the testimony there given by the Mayor cannot
be used against him in any subsequent action.
yet it shows where the right kind of evidence
against the Mayor can be had. 1t shows, for
instance. that Mr.. Morse might with advantage
be subpenaed to testify in criminal proceed
ing that Mayor Van Wyck bought or accepted
his ice stock from the Ice Trusts president

REPORT THAT HE MAY RESIGN.

AS soon as he reached the City Hall in the
morning half dozen reporters were on hand to
ask him if there any truth in the rumor
that he was about resign the office he has dis
graced: but he would not admit them to his
presence, and ordered his private secretary to
announce that he had nothing to say Those
who know him best declare that he will not re-
sign; that the shame of his present position does
not move him; he is only anxious about the ef-
feet it will have his future at Mr.. Cookers
hands.
After spending few hours at his desk the
Mayor furtiveiy left the City Hall and went d.
rect to the headquarters Of the Ice Trust. at
Twenty third-st. and LeXington-ave., where he
was at once taken into President Morses pri-
comfort there for after talk OF only about ten
minutes with Mr.. Morse he came out again,
waved aside the reporters who advanced to
greet him and walked hurriedly away without
, saying word
President Morse declined to tell what they had
talked about. but when asked explain the diff
ference between his testimony and the Mayor s

thousand shares Of American Ice Company

The Mayor when he purchased his ice stock from

mainder; of the notes for $50 900, which

myself. The bank did not lend the Mayor $1,000

matter is that he paid $4,000 and gave notes for
