GAS INVESTIGATION.
Hearing Resumed in New York Yes
terday.

NEW YORK. April 1.-Oficers of the
Consolidated Gas Company, the controlling
organization of the local gas and electric
lighting concerns. appeared again today
as witnesses before the executive commit
tee which is inquiring into the alleged mo-
nopoly in lighting New York city. There
were interesting developments during the
day, including the admission by Benjamin
A. Whitley, assistant secretary of the con-
solidat ted company, that in order to show
balance in a statement submitted by
him to the committee he had obliterated
discrepancy of s., 100000 by charging that
amount to CONSTRUCTION" when as a mat
ter of fact such sum had not been spent.
Robert A. Carter of the Consolidated Gas
Company explained the apparent discrep-
ancy of more than $12 100000 In a state
ment of the company's investments sub
mitted to the committee by declaring the
larger amount represented the actual
amount invested, the smaller the present
values of the property.
Mr.. Carriers presence was urgently re-
quested by the committee yesterday when
it appeared that there was a difference of
many million dollars between his statement
and figures on the value of the company's
property previously supplied by the COM
pany to the state tax commissioner
1t was said at that time by a representa-
tive of the company who appeared before
the committee that Carter was very ill and
unable to appear.
When the examination of Benjamin A.
Whitley, assistant secretary of the COM
pany, was resumed today. Mr.. Hughes,
counsel for the committee, drew from the
witness admission that he had forced a
balance in statement submitted to the
committee by him by arbitrarily inserting
an item of nearly S.500,0O for construc-
ton. This particular sum never had been
spent for construction. SO far as he knew.
the witness said, and had been inserted in
the statement merely because that amount
had been needed to strike balance.
Counsel for the committee endeavored to
show that the earnings of the company on
the values Of its plant in 1904 was II per
cent, but counsel for the company pointed
out that this did not include any earnings
upon the value of its franchises. 1t looked
now as though the company would have to
pay it's franchise tax, he said. Mr.. Whitley
promised to produce figures showing the
amount Of gas furnished, the rate charged
to the city of New York and the cost Of
gas production. The committee then adj
journed until Monday.

CRISIS IN HUNGARY
Louis Kossuth Urges Accept
ance of Compromise.
EXTREMISTS FIR M
WILL INSIST ON USE OF MAGYAR
LANGUAGE.
Proposals Submitted to the Executive
Committee of the Opposition
to the Crown.

BUDAPEST, April IA strong effort to
secure solution of the crisis in Hungary
and compromise between the crown and
the combined opposition by which it would
be possible to effect the formation of a
cabinet was made here today. Apparently.
so far as can be judged tonight, it resulted
In failure. This proposed compromise,
which was reached after ten days consul
tation by party leaders and statesmen with
the emperor, was substantially as follows:
That the combined opposition should agree
to postpone absolutely for two years the
use of Magyar as the language of COM
mand in the Hungarian army, and that it
should pass the ordinary budget and legis-
lation needful for gathering the regular
number of Hungarian recruits, but not an
Increased number of recruits.
In return the common war ministry should
agree not to demand for two years payment
of an extraordinary army appropriation of
100000 voted by the delegations at the
last meeting.
This compromise today came before the
executive committee of the combined oppo-
sition. The committee took no action there
on, declaring that it could not do so because
no one was empowered to make definite pro-
posals to 1t concerning compromise, and
that those persons who lately conferred with
Lie thpeioi EeSdfuiHS d were
not considered by the combined opposition
parties authorized to speak regarding
compromise, and hence no proposals were
made to the committee. The committee re-
solved to request the president of the lower
house to call session for April f.
The committee will meet on April 49,
1t is declared tonight that among the OPP
position are numerous extremists who Will
accept no plan whatever which does not
give the Magyar language to the Hunga-
ran army and that majority of the oppo-
sition, as well as a majority of the mem
bers of the executive committee is opposed
to the proposed compromise.
Louis Kossuth, leader of the independ-
ents, fayors accepting the compromise. He
is making hard political fight to get his
followers to accept his views and follow
his leadership.
The fate of the present proposals rests
with the opposition parties. If failure re-
suits Hungary faces the danger of a pro-
longation of the serious conflict between
the crown and the parliamentary majority,
If the majority continues to hold together
Rumors current tonight are to the effect
that If kossuth fails to persuade his fol-
lowers to accept the compromise he will
have to resign the leadership of the indie
pendents.

not ordinary criminals; that they had
made no effort to run away and had no
intention of doing SO. Justice Lord finally
decided to fix the bonds at $4,000 in each
case The attorneys for the prisoners said

counsel OF the company, will suggest its
adoption by the board of directors at q

Cornelius N. Bliss tonight said he had not
attended the conference In Superintendent
Hendricks Office today, nor had he been at
any other meeting of persons interested in
Equitable affairs. When told of the propo-
sition for him to name two members of the
executive committee, he expressed surprise
and said that he could not comment on the
matter and that he had no views to express

Mr.. Crimmins' Statement.
John D. Crmmins of the policy holders
committee in an interview said tonight:
'-The result of the conference in Mr.. Hen
bricks Office means that there will be In
jected into the new board of directors four
men not friendly to Mr.. Hyde. Mr.. Hyde
had to compromise and the policy holders
will have control of affairs in q period of
twenty months"
'Will the men who Mr.. Hendricks shall
select to leave the directorate do SO, since.
according to Mr.. Hendricks, he has not the
power to make them?' was asked.
ut has been agreed by all parties con-
cerned that they shall do so,' answered
Mr.. Crimmins
The next movement" said Mr.. Grim
minis. will be the meeting of the board
of directors, at which we expect the de-
c1sion arrived at in today's conference
will be confirmed. Under the plan of mu-
tualization each director of the policy
holders interests must be an actual
policy holder himself; and the idea is to
secure for this Office not the policy hold
ers of large interests. but rather those of
medium interest, men of ordinary walks
of life, who are more liable to take
deeper interest in the societys affairs
than the others.
4 am happy to say the affairs of the
society have been satisfactorily adjusted.
the policy holders will have the full man.
agement of the society within twenty
months time, and in the investigation by
the policy holders committee we found no
cause for uneasiness."
