WROTE BILLS. 1T IS SAID.
W. II. Page, Jr., Called "Grab'
Measures author Denies.

It was declared yesterday, by one who has
followed closely the course Of the grab bills
in the legislature. that w. H Page. jr.. of
the firm Of Hoadly. Lauterbach & Johnson was
the author of the railroad measures.
In support of this statement il was pointed
cut that this firm was the counsel for the old
Third-ave. system: also for the "Huckleberry
road. to which the Wilcox bill applies so nicely.
Those bills show Pages handiwork,' said the
informant
Mr.. Page denied last night that he was the
father Of the bills" The question was asked
bluntly. Mr.. Page seemed considerably sur
prised. The Goodsell bill is like the Wilcox
bill in many respects, while the Wilcox bill is
like the old Bedell measure" was the reply.
Why do you ask" Mr.. Page continued. IF
you want to know if 1 the father of these
bills. say Those the facts in the case
Did you have anything to do with them?"
Why, I've read the Foley bill and the Good
sell bill. Most railroad lawyers have. l guess.
There's an awful kick just about anything
railroad does; every bill it presents is called
a grab. even if it is introduced to enab BILE the
road to do what the public has asked

The apparent uncurbed eagerness Of the Inter
