QUAY PROLONGS
SENATE SESSION
Attempts to Force a
Vote on Statehood
Measure.
Second Test Shows a Large
Majority in It's Sup
port.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Quay
made an effort to-day TO hold the Senate
in continuous session to consider the
statehood bill, but failed to hold a quo
rum and was compelled on that account
to allow the Senate 70 adjourn at sos
p. m. He obtained another ballot, how
ever, to test the sentiment OF the Sen
ate, the vote standing II TO % In his IA
Vor.
To-day was spent IN consideration OF
the statehood bill. with the exception OF
an hour devoted to a speech by Scott OF
West Virginia on the pension laws. Scott
believed that every Union soldier who
served ninety days in the civil war should
be granted pension Of Sl2 month on
reaching the age Of g. years.
The feature Of the statehood bill under
special condition to-day was the Arizona
refunding proposition. 1t was charged

date bonds held by Bird 5. Coler. late
Democratic candidate for Governor OF
New York State.

MONEY MATTERS
BOTHER DOCTOR
Bergstein and His Sister
Tell Of Some Queer
Transactions.
Physician Sells Accounts
and Then Collects
Them.

DR.. Henry Bergstein of SIG Suffer street,
whose divorced wife, Pauline, is making
an effort to compel him to provide for
very unwilling witness yesterday in Judge
kerrigan's court where he is being eX-
amined as to his financial condition. His
sister. Carrie Bergstein. to whom, the
doctor testified Monday, he transferred
his book accounts, was equally unwilling.
The examination developed the fact that
Bergstein did not transfer any book &C
counts TO his sister until six days after
Mrs. Bergstein had brought her suit to
recover accrued alimony amounting to
1910 The suit was commenced last jan
uary and in that month Bergstein trans
ferred book accounts TO his sister amount
ing to $780, receiving for the accounts.
he said yesterday, Cancelled notes he had
given his sister as security for money
she loaned him. Bergstein testified also
that at the present time he owed his
sister $500
Miss Bergstein could not remember how
much money she gave her brother for an
assignment of debts owed to him by pa
tients. She did remember. though, that
she frequently gave him money, and on
one occasion took charge of the
doctors jewellery after making him
loan. She said that though
the doctor assigned his accounts
to her, she allowed him TO collect them,
fearing, she said, that if she did the
collecting his business would be hurt.
Judge kerrisan put the case over until
Saturday, when a further examination
into the Bergstein method of transferring
accounts will be made.

The Crisis Of COnners.

The Hon. WILLIAM j. CoNNERS'S But
falo Enquirer has ordered a crisis. The
order comes in a double-leaded, double
columned editorial article, which looks
like a mortuary slab. Mr.. CoNNERs
gazes I" at finance and industry with a
glance embracing a wider range than
that of the mere SPECTATOR and he sees
this dark prospect:
Take the situation. say. in New England manu-
features Right there is a notable example OF an
output that has been temporarily enormous, but
with no prospects that this fcversh activity can
continue.
"ln the iron and steel trade. in shlpbulldlng in
countless other branches Of industry there arc
parallel conditions. The situation may be sum
married. In single sentence. Its case OF excess
OF work Of overproduction. OF oversupply of the
market, and of an impending crash.
Nor Is 1t perilous to predict that crisis must
come Inside OF the next twelvemonth. The effects
will be far reaching and profound; they Will In
voIye not only manufactures but business at large
they will he potently manifest In the field Of politics
and will have the strongest possible bearing on tho
coming Presidential election.
There Is every reason 10 believe that the Re
publican party is approaching the time when Is
must face stern accounting relative 10 the false
industrial activity 1t has fostered, and when Its
prosperity battle cry will be OF no avail because tho
upernclal prosperity on which the party has based
Its claim will have become thing of the past
1t is said that certain cotton mills in
Fall River are suspending business this
month, owing to the high price OF cotton.
That is the single little of fact, misrepre-
sented, ascribed to the wrong cause and
enormously stretched, to be sure, in Mr..
CoNNERss dolorous tale. As to general
conditions of business, we are content
TO quote Democratic witness, who is
perhaps somewhat more widely known
in the world of business than even the
Erie county JEREMIAH:
Business is good money Is plentiful, crops have
been bounrlfll with good prices prevailing. The
country merchant Is not In debt. The farmer has
his mortgage paid. The savings banks have moro
money than ever before In their history. think
we can face the future without fears
This is the opinion of the Hon. JOHN
GRIFFIN CARLISLE. 1t is also the general
opinion. Mr.. CoNNERs, and anybody
else who seeks to bring on panic for the
benefit Of the Democratic party, is TAX
ing a very curious way of helping the
Democratic party.

yet, included in the district, TO the east
and the west, may DO found collected
the most orderly, the most conservative
and most cultivated homes in New York.
Spires Of churches can be counted by
the score. The Tenderloin is a dis
trict of which any town might we'll be
proud.
Accordingly, it was natural 1t was
inevitable, when we made known the
intention of the Rapid Transit Commits
sion or rather of tho combination OF
capitalists, engineers and contractors
which dominates that body, to upturn the
great thoroughfare Of the "Tenderloin'
and destroy it as a centre of life and gay
ETY., that there should at once have arisen
a general cry of protest from the public,
from newspapers and from the business
interests which were menaced by the
project The scheme had practically
been determined on, the engineering
plans formulated. and the work oil
destruction was to begin in a few months.
The subway was TO be constructed on
the plan of the old ditch. with the copse-
quences of the digging with which all
New York is so painfully familiar.
That exposure was enough. No ditch
will he dug through that gay and busy
district. The job will not be undertaken.
The further underground roads required
by New York will be genuine tunnels.
The method of building them will no
longer be selected solely with reference
to the interests of the builders, no matter
what may be the cost in injury inflicted
on the people, but it will be determined
in the interests of the community which
pays the bills and 10 which the Rapid
Transit Commission is responsible.
