GIRLS TO GRAND JURY.
ROthsckild,S StenOgrapher Examined
Jerome Silent.

Miss May Trimble. the stenographer who gave
20 Abraham Gruber affidavit declaring that she
was bulldOzed in the District Attorneys Office into
signing a false statement that she had written
a stipulation regarding the weisel estate to which
the name OF Armitage Mathews had been ap-
pended. was called before the grand jury as a
witness yesterday. Miss Kathryn a. Carey who
made another affidavit supporting Miss Trimble
was also a witness 1t said that one of Mr.
Jerome's assistants was examined on the subject
by the grand jury.
Mr.. Gruber did not appear before the grand jury
but sent a letter to the foreman explaining that
the Belasco case in the Supreme Court interfered
with response to tho subpoena. He was excused
until Thursday when he will have a hearing.
Among the witnesses in the pending investigation
which Mr.. Jerome is conducting before the grand
jury was Martin Conlon. the convict lawyer, who
sent TO Mr.. Gruber a letter he said he had re-
ceived from David Rothsohild in Sing Sing, and
also wrote to Mr. Gruber that he knew of a scheme
to get RothschiId to make a confession implicat-
ing Armitage Mathews. Conlon was brought down
from Sing Sing to tell his story There was SAID
to be some mystery connected with his letter to
MI Gruber. because the stamp of the prison OFF,
cial who passed the letter was d. ed day earlier
than the date of the letter itself
Mr.. Gruber said yesterday that 1t was natural
for Conlon to send such letter TO him, because
everybody knew that Mr. Mathews "Grubers
man." He said his first information that the Dis
trict Attorney was in a scheme to get Information
against Mr.. Mathews came from Conlon
One Of the officials the District Attorneys
office seemed to think there some connection
between the employment of Mr.. Gruber's law firm
sShds @ cTe9tions and the speedy discovery by Mr.
Gruber that Rothschild was about to make con,
not talk about the recent charges by Mr.: Gruber
would demean himself by comment on or contradic-
ton Of any remark that would come from person
Of Mr.. Grubers character"
Rothschild had another talk yesterday with his
wife and with officials in the District Attorneys
office He is TO be kept at the Tombs several days
longer. being used as witness in the investigation

HEARING ON THE HOLD-UP
N. Y. CONNECTING RING.
Rea Tells of DeIay-SulIiUan Tries
to Explain SIaaR5er.

Samuel Rea. vice-president Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, told Vice-Charman Timothy z. Sullivan
of the Board of Aldermen. at the hearing the
New-York Connecting Railroad franchise applica-
ton yesterday that the company would have been
building the road long ago IL it had had the fran
chise. He also told him that the company would
not build the bridge over Wards and Randalrs ISL
ands for foot and wagon traffic. He said the COM
pany had spent 100000 in Brooklyn within the
last year its plans to give Brooklyn manufact-
good railway connection with Eastern and
Southern points, and that the Rapid Transit Com
mission had driven hard bargain with tho COM
pany in exacting rental Of $4,000 a year for the
right to streets in Astoria He said the COM
pany had done all it could. 1t rested with the
aldermen to say whether the business interests Of
Brooklyn were to have what they have been asking
for for years
Mr.. Sullivan presided. as chairman of the Com
mittee on Bridges and Tunnels. which for a year
has held up the New-York Connecting Company
franchise
George l.. Rives. counsel for the Rapid Transit
Commission, told the committee that the railroad
would benefit Queens and Brooklyn. The Long
Island Railroad Company would be brought into
touch with the rest of the United States The city
was to receive compensation at the rate of cents
a foot for the first ten years and 10 cents foot
for the succeeding fifteen years
The Pennsylvania Railroad was paying the city
more than that for its franchise and Mr.. Rives
stated that the connecting railroad was to run
over private property.
Chairman Sullivan declared that it might be
hundred years before the city could build bridge
at the point in question: and in the mean time the
railroad would have the OF a valuable grant,
to the exclusion of the public.
Mr.. Rives replied that it would be more feasible
for the city to build elsewhere The city's income
from the road would be about $1,000 year for the
first term and double that for the second
Congressman Goulden and A C. Hottenroth,
president of the Taxpayers Alliance OF The Bronx.
said they favored franchise that would give
continuous ride for five cents from the Bronx.
E. S. Piper. for the Brooklyn Transportation
League said the franchise would be of incalcuable
benefit to Brooklyn and Queens. Chairman sulli-
van said that the organization Mr. Piper spoke for
was largely composed Of alleged reformers and
wind tanners" He added that the aldermen in
moving slowly with regard to the franchise were
conserving the rights Of the people"
Mr. Rea thought $4,000 or $4,000 excessive COM
pensation to the city because the connecting rail-
road would cross no streets at grade. and would
acquire its right of way by purchase Of private
property.
Alderman Doull opposed granting the franchise
unless the road should be equipped electrically, and
wanted 1t referred back to the Rapid Transit Com
mission. Chairman Sullivan announced that 1t
would be impossible TO report the franchise out
Of committee to-day and that he might call q

The Certain Way to Grow Healthy,
Sturdy Children is by Intelligent
Feeding.
An Iowa mother tells of the natllr-
ally correct instinct of her 5-year-old
boy. She says he thinks there is moth
ing equal to Grape Nuts for breakfast.
when he was a little baby he was
puny and pale and to find the right
food to properly nourish him was a
difficult problem. When he got to be
about ~ months old we commenced
using Grape Nuts in our family and
l began feeding him a little moistened
with milk. We all liked Grape-Nuts,
but he liked it especially WELL
at agreed with him. He began to
grow plump and rosy, and for years he
has scarcely eaten a breakfast without
a dish of Grape Nuts, and he usually
eats nothing else. He wants it and
will take no substitute. He has never
been sick and today is a remarkably
robust child with a fine muscular de-
velopment, and a quick, active brain
by far the healthiest and strongest,
even if he is the youngest, of my five
children.

use of Grape Nuts food" Name given
