METROPOLITAN STREET
RAILWAY INQUIRY
Charges Against the Company to Be
Looked Into by District Attorney.

NEW YORK, March 11.-Eugene A.
Philbin, former district attorney, of
this city, was retained today to look
into the financial affairs of the Metro
politan Street Railway company and
examine evidence and reports Of &C
countants with view to the advisa-
bility of further proceedings. This an
nouncement followed printed reports
today that District Attorney Jerome
had been making an official inquiry
into certain charges concerning the
company.
The examination of the company's
books, which, it is alleged, furnishes
the basis of Mr.. Jeromes inquiry, was
made by John c. HertIe, former COM
missioner of accounts Of this city, and
Max Teichmann, president of the state
board of examiners of public accounts
of Maryland. The report made by Mr..
Hertle says that none of the companys
annual reports to the railroad COM
mission since 1894, in his opinion, has
correctly described the companys true
financial condition. He further declares
that on June 30, 1901, instead of sur
plus of $5,403. 465, as reported, the COM
pany actually had a deficit.
President Vreeland, of the MetropoI-
itan company, issued a statement de-
nying the charges, which, he said, were
false from beginning to end

said Mr.. Vreeland, were unscrupu-

JOHNSON PARK
STILL A SECRET
RumOr That Legal COmpli-
cations Stand in the
Way.

NEW YORK, March 11.-At the con-
clusion of today's session of the Ameri-
can Baseball league President Johnson
declared positively that the location of
the playing grounds and all details of
the New York American League club
would be made public tomorrow even
ing.
1t was rumored here that legal COM
plications stand between the American
league and a new baseball park in this
city 1t is said on good authority that
these complications will be extremely
hard to overcome, and it is even limited
that President Johnson is not thor
oughly sure that park will be secured
for playing this season.
The league, which has been in ses-
sion for six days, held two meetings to-
day and adjourned without saying any
thing about the location of the park.
The magnates refused to talk about the
park, and it was plain by their looks
and actions that things do not look at
all rosy.
, The friends of the league are far
from sanguine, while the National
leaguers are jubilant. Already they are
on the point of saying, 81 told you So"
for they believe firmly that the Ameri-
can league will not have a park here
this year. They say that even if the
league had half a leg upon which to
ball on new grounds here this year 1t
would give out the location now, for
every moment of delay is hurting the
American.
The baseball fans hailed President
johnson when he came here for the
first time filled with promises which he
gave out freely, but since in their esti-
nation he has failed ito make good"
they are beginning to think that after
all much of the talk was but wind.
Outside of this one phase, however,
he has made a wonderful impression.
That an American league team would
receive enormous support here is GER
tain. The populace would stretch out
its arms to welcome anything that
would help to GUST the monotony of
another New York team such as the
National league has had here for the
past few years.
81 am very sorry" said President
Johnson, but l am unable to say any,
thing about it yet. 1 wish l could, for
1 realize that all of the people in New
York who are interested in baseball
want to hear it,
1t is recalled that he among others Of
the American league declared when the
league began its sessions that before
the meeting adjourned the announce
ment would be made. This was said in
the utmost sincerity, it was thought.
The enemies of the league are attempt
ing to circulate stories to the effect that
the organization did not have a loca-
ton in view at the time it said it was
going to invade New York. 1t simply
took chance that some location would
turn up, they say. However, the more
fair-minded will not listen to this talk,
for they believe firmly that Johnson is
thoroughly sincere and that he will
after time tell just where the Ameri-
Loo cfo dc in 70
ball park here.
1t will be long time, however, before
the team can use the grounds even If
work upon them is begun now The

season would be more than a month old
