DODGE PORT CHESTER.
aldermen Fail TO act on Bronr
Request, Despite Mayors Letter.
wEsTCHEsTER ROAD LOSES CASE.

The Board Of Aldermen yesterday executed an
other dodge" on the question Of granting a per-
NIT 10 the New-York and Port Chester Railroad
Company to cross certain streets and avenues
in The Bronx. This was in the face OF let
ter from Mayor Low urging favorable action on
the franchise resolution. which the Tammany
members Of the Board Of Aldermen evaded with
such show OF skill before election. The Mayor $
letter was referred to the railroad committee as a
convenient way OF getting Il out of the way. and
later IN the session yesterday the committee did
not report out the permit resolution.
Tammany's plan to hold up the resolution has
now become so plain that politicians who are sup
posed be in the secret say the railroad company
viii have 10 put Up the dough before the people
OF The Bronx can hope for rapid transit. This in
timation that official blackmail will be demanded
by triumphant Tammany lords is creating much
excitement and indignation in The Bronx COM

majority Of the voters in that borough have de-
ciared their wish for return OF Iammany TO

r.. SAGE TO PAY So, 800.
Supreme Court Decides He O5Ues
Brokers IN Stock Transaction.

jury in Justice Barrett's part of the SUI
preme Court yesterday gave a verdict to the
Roberts Company, a brokerage firm in a suit
to recover from Russell Sage $500 the profit
in a transaction in Terre Haute and Indian
apolis Railway stock in 1901. Mr.. Sage was
not in court his testimony having been taken
at his home.
William Z. Coffin, general manager of the
Roberts Company, testified that he tried to buy
four hundred shares of their railway stock
which Mr.. Sage owned late in 1900, telling Mr.
Sage at the time that the latest quoted price
was so. Mr.. Sage kept him running backward
and forward until January 10, 1901. the witness
said, and that day agreed to sell 120 shares
of the stock at 125. provided the transaction
was closed before > p. m.
4 could have sold the stock at 1872 at a
profit Of $500" Mr. Coffin said. and his counsel
added: That's what Mr.. Sage got for the
stock"
Mr.. Coffin said that when he went for the
stock Mr.. Sage told him. Il won't deliver the
stock 10 you. 1 heard something that makes me
think it is worth more than you were to pay
for it,
Mr.. Coffin testified that when he reminded the
ager financier OF the contract between them for
the sale of the stock, Mr. Sage replied: II don't
care about that You can do what you please
but am not going to be robbed"
Mr. Coffin then went, he says to Harvey Fisk
& Sons, got $4,000 in legal tender. the price of
the stock at 125, and offered it to Mr.. Sage.
Then" the witness continued. Mr.. Sage sug-
gested that l divide my profit with him if he de-
livered the stock. I said 1 would do that II he
would send the stock to Harvey Fisk & Co. He
asked how much l going to make the
transaction. and I declined to say. He said it
might not be enough. and he refused to deliver
the stock"
Mr. Sage in the testimony taken at his home
says he did rot put his initials to a contract to
sell the stock. lie remembered that Mr.. Coffin
II ade soma figures pad, and asked him to
Put his initials on the paper to identify the fig
ures. ION none of these" Mr.. Sage says was
there any writing. and, while l may have writ
ten my initials for the purpCFe of Identifying
tie paper at the request of Mr.. Coffin, am per-
fectly positive that l at time put my initials
on any piece of paper upon which there was any
writing
Inquiries at the house Of Russell Sage last
night brought out denials of the Illness which
had been reported in the day. He refused to
see a reporter regarding the decision against
him, but sent word, however, that he was in his
usual good health and had not been i'll.
