Commission of Gross Neglect.

Borough President Ahearn has written to Mayor
Mcclellan complaining of the inactivity of the
Rapid Transit Commission and asking him to see
that the Streets which he are ruined as thor
oughfares by the rapid transit contractors are
put in proper condition. The Borough President
is responsible for the condition of the streets. but
tho Rapid Transit act makes the Rapid Transit
Commission supreme.
The list of streets complained OF include Jenox-

In summing up the situation in the upper part

1t is quite evident from these conditions that

any new subways are built. the commission should
require its contractors to obtain permits for every

tons the contractors deny their responsibility for
the damage done. and IT Is only by the process Of

ROTHSCHlLD LETTER UP.
Tells of Help Promised by District
Attormey for Testimony.

Arguments were heard by Justice Davy in
the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court yes
terday motions by counsel for Armitage
Mathews and John w. Wooten for permission
to inspect the minutes of the grand jury which
indicted them for conspiracy and grand larceny
in the alleged looting of the Weise estate, in
company with Samuel I. Ferguson and David
Rothschild the convicted president of the de-
funct Federal Bank. The indictments were
found partly on the evidence of Rothschild. Mr..
Ferguson did not join in the motions to inspect
the grand jury minutes but obtained District
Attorney Jeromes assent for a postponement Of
pleading. which gave rise to reports that Mr.
Ferguson had deserted the other indicted law
yers and had made some arrangement with the
District Attorney to testify against them
In arguing the motion for Mr.. Mathews. Ter
ence J. McManus read two letters which had
been written in Sing Sing Prison. One of the
letters was written by Rothschild to Martin
Conlon. a fellow prisoner and former Tammany
lawyer. and read follows:
I am worried to death in this place I don't
know what to do Assistant District Attorney
Kresel has been to me and provided fur
nish them with evidence against those persons,
the District Attorney would use his influence to
secure me a communication of sentence. 1 told
him 1 wanted to talk to a lawyer, but he told
not to do that, but to talk to my wife. We
could not come to any satisfactory terms. The
people they want TO testify against good,
strong men. but they left in the lurch, and
the District Attorney promises to help me.
The second letter, written by Conlon to the
law firm of Black, Olcott, Gruber & Bonynge,
read, IN part:
I understand you counsel for Arnitage
Mathews. I know of an effort being made to
fasten crime upon Mr.. Mathews. and if you
will send a representative here, will talk with
him.
Mr.. McManus argued from the letters that the
District Attorney had made a corrupt bargain
with felons to get testimony against his client
He declared that Mr.. Mathews of unim-
peachable character and that he had a right to
know what perjured evidence had been given by
the felon witnesses to the grand jury.
Counsel for Wooten laid stress on the fact that
his client had had no preliminary examination.
Assistant District Attorney Rand replied briefly
declaring that nothing had been said by counsel
to show legal grounds for granting the motions
they asked Justice Davy asked for briefs to be
submitted next Monday.

says:
I have been recently advised by my physicians
that the restoration Of my health is dependent

specially tender my resignation as Commas

Mr. Grains health was poor, It is understood

was ignored. and did not have a chance to make
