on British Complaint.

Lacombe, in the United States Circuit Court
writ Of habeas corpus and certiorar. which is
returnable next Monday, in an effort to obtain
release for Wright under bail pending the ar
rival of extradition papers from London.
wright's affidavit, signed in Ludlow Street JAIL
was used in the application for the writ 1t de-
clares that Wright is American citizen. and
is held prisoner on the complaint of Sir Percy
Sanderson, the British Consul General on
charge of defrauding persons in London.
Wright declares that he has objected to the
continuance of proceedings before United States
Commissioner Alexander, who has refused to al
low bail and he says he is advised by a physi-
clan that change of surroundings is necessary
for his health. Judge Lacornbe will hear argu-
ments on Monday. and decide if there is any
violation of Wrght's constitutional rights.
It has been the practice OF the federal courts
to deny all applications for bail in extradition
proceedings. Such bail is not provided for by
any of the existing treaties. although the issu-
ance of it is not forbidden It's issuance would,
so those posted in International law say. III

temporary leader OF Tammany Hall, was sprung
last night in Tarnmany circles, which was in

that by "subterranean" methods the Central

into raising its bid for an extension OF its lease

application Of the company refused, and
that afterward the refusal was reconsidered un-

NEW-HAVEN ASKS DEL4p'
Railroad Wants Ill Employees to
Share IN Settlement.
rsvrr1rcRApH TO The TRIBUNE.


NAu-r5svan. Conn. March 20,-President j. M
HALL ~ the New-York New-h&ven and Hart
ford Railroad sent TO the committee OF as
satisfied trainmen and conductors OF the IoAo
to-day the decision reached by tne Ooalo u
directors in New-York yesterday IL was Al
ereat measure a surprise as, instead OF answer
ing at once any one OF the requests u 'Ae
employees the reply of the company was re-
cuest for DELAY until next Wednesday on whlcn
date President Hall agrees to submit 10 tn'
men a proposition offering the company soio-
+Io, - +be schedule and time questions.
president Halls reply also includes various
other classes of employees OF the road IN any
noss;bIe rearrangement OF the pay and time
rates and states that the directors OF the conl-
psnv wish at this time to inquire INTO Ihe u's
satisfaction among all the men and act lii'0i
HeentIy UPON the entire question OF compehSa-
tion. -
In other words. the New-HaVen roao sue-
eests the possibility Of its canvasslng Ihe eii'0
nav and schedule question for all depar tr
of the system at this time, something that tne
trsinnoen and conductors do not Wah'' 0"u
which necessarily creates delay OF SIX niole
aers betore their requests are acted upon. On
+bts acoount there was some dissatisfaction e&-
nressed among the grievance committee Iein-
hers this afternoon, several of them nelne ahA-
ious to press the company for an liiliiieu'
response to their own demands. Ihe seiiSe VI
the Joint committee, however, was to accept
the proposition Of the company as to delay, ana
7epIv to this effect was sent to Presloeht
Hall. In thiF reply 1t was requested tnaC II
nossihIe the answer TO the trainmen ana con-
ductors be made earlier than next WEDNESDAY.
Here the threatened strike on the road VIII
rest until next week, unless pressure is orought
to bear on the grievance committee py the
trainmen before that time. 1t was understood
this afternoon that strike on the system was
only narrowly averted to-day through the pa
cffc statement of the company and vigorous
peace measures taken by the cooler heaoeo
among the trainmen last night. An understand
ing was sent out last night quietly from this
cttv that unless the road offered some oe1lnlte
prou1ise of meeting the dissatisfied employees
half way a strike was to be ordered at MID
night last night. Throughout the system train-
men and conductors were looking for WORD 10 TINS
erect from the headquarters here last evening.
It is said to-day that only the most strenuous
EFFORTS on the part OF the peace leaders IN the
COMMITTEES in session here last night killed this
proRramme It is confidently eXpecteo
that both sides will rest their cases until the
oficials submit their counter proposition next

SAYS WIFE IS PRISONER.
Er-SoEdier Declares Cross WitneSs
Vds Spirited A1Cdy.

When the trial of Inspector Adam A. Cross
was resumed before Deputy Commissioner Ed
stein at Police Headquarters yesterday morn
ing a woman who was called as a witness
for the prosecution refused to tell what she
knew about a house in stanton-st. Assistant
District Attorney Morgan asked Major Ebsteln
to direct her to answer questions, and Abram
T. Elkus counsel for Cross. declared her con-
stitutional right would be violated by compelling
her to testify. After a long wrangle the VIII
ness was withdrawn, but told that she was
still under subpoena, whereupon Mr. Elkus as
serted that the prosecution was keeping several
unwilling women witnesses prisoners in house
in Brooklyn.
The Rev. Robert L. Paddock testified about
dens of vice which were run openly and ma
grantly in the district east Of the Bowery two
wears ago. He had complained to Captain
Herlihy and to Inspector Cross but the houses
were not closed. His testimony was similar
to that which he has given at the trials Of
Captain Herlihy.
Andrew Witt testified that he had kept
house in Santon-st. from 1898 to 1901. and
that it was a den of vice. He paid large
rent to Jacob Wolf and also paid $50 month
in addition, understanding that the money was
for protection. but he paid the money to WOLF
not to the police. On cross examination he said
he was in the custody of two policemen who
lived at his house and went with him every
where he went. He is under indictment. out
he was not allowed to tell If any promise or
immunity had been made to him on condition
that he testified against Cross.
Joel Harris, private detective, who inVesti-
gated poolrooms for the Mazet committee, de-
scribed how poorooTns were run in the BoWery
and in st. Marks Place in 1889 He said the
poolrooms did a rushing business and were
crowded, and megaphones were used to call OF
the names Of horses running at the racetracks
When Harris left the stand the trial was ad-
journed until next Tuesday.
A young at the door Of the trial room
showed signs of excitement and asked County
Detective Maher what had become OF Lizzie B0-
hannon, witness who testified at the trial on
Thursday
She is my wife" the young man said. and
she disappeared last evening after she testified
here. believe the county detectives know where
she is hiding"
County Detective Maher said the county detec-
tives had not spirited the woman away, and the
District Attorney did not care where Mrs. Bo-
harmon went after she gave her testimony.
Bohannon appealed to Major Ebstein, saying he
wanted advice about recovering his wife. Major
Ebstein referred the young man to Assistant
District Attorney Morgan. who said he knew
nothing about the young woman's disappear
anCe Bohannon said his wife had been taken
away by county detectives last Friday, after a
search of her rooms He said he had been
soldier in the Philippines for twenty-five months
He declared he would shoot any man who tried
to keep his wife away from him
