MRS. MAVERICK GIVES TESTIMONY
Alleges Money Withheld by Lawyer Would
Have Cleared Her.

Washington. March 2S.-Mrs. Florence Elizabeth
Maybrick appeared before notary to-day to make
deposition In suit technically known as Caroline
f. Won Roques against David w Armstrong ct al
a case involving tracts OF valuable land in Vir-
g1nia. West Virginia and Kentucky. Since the in
stltution of the case in 1893 it has been pei ding in
the Chapcery Court of Richmond awaiting Mrs
A1aybrickss evidence. Mrs. Maybrick is a witness
in the case for her mother. the baroness Won
Roques. Mrs. Maybrick acknowledged signing
some papers brought TO her by the United States
Consul while she was in prison. who told her that
they related to the conveyance of certain Ken
lucky lands in which she was interested
She was asked If her mother and herself
had received their share of the 5000 paid to
Mr.. Armstrong In March. 1899 by the Kentucky
Land Union Company, and If that would have af-
fected her trial She replied that this money which
had not been received, would have enabled her to
bring witnesses from Norfolk, Va, by whom she
could have proved her husbands use of arsenic
and to have secured expert testimony that would
have shown his death was due to natural causes
This statement. and, in fact, nearly all Mrs Nav
bricks testimony, objected to by Mr. Arm
strong. The cross-eXamination developed that the
defence Will endeavor to show that the plaintff
has not been defrauded Of any money or title 10
property. and that the defendant Armstrong was
n member of the Louisville bar at the time and
in good standing professionally.

ATTACK ON MAXWELL.
Assemblynsa's Tomphins Remesos As

IsY TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1BUxB,I


Albany, March 2S.-An attack on Superin-
teadent Maxwell, of New-York of startling Bit
terness made at hearing bill intro
duced at his request to-day by Assemblyman
Tompkins, Of NewYork, the Democratic repre-
sentative who has already paid his respects to
the Superintendent in extravagant statements.
Mr.. Tompkins said, directing his attention first
to delegation of teachers who had come up
from NewYorIn City to support the measure;
These teachers had to come up here and sup
port what the Superintendent wanted, or else
step down and out. This man Maxwell has
never taught school in his life. You can go
anywhere you want from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. and you will not find worse schools
than in New-York City. Our children are get
ting absolutely nothing in the line of educa-
ton. Our parents crying for something for
the education Of their children Our boys and
girls get less than fourteen minutes a day Of
reading, writing and arithmetic They know
absolutely nothing as a result of the fads and
fancies of the Superintendent.
What we want is three four fundamentals
taught not cooking, basket making and sewing,
for boys There boys and girls of fourteen
and fifteen who cannot read write know OF
a picked lot Of boys that took Civil Service ex-
animation for office boy, involving the most ele-
mentary principles. and 46 per cent failed. This
man Maxwell Is absolutely unfair to the ele
mentary school teachers. My friend Superin-
tendent Harrison, says here that Maxwell is a
busy man, working until midnight every even
ing. Isn't there danger OF his becoming victim
of paresis? think he is already giving evidence
of approaching such a condition.

posed, but he cannot initiate and substitute.
This must be done by the legislature.
To meet the legislative situation, Frank H
Platt brought TO Albany bill drawn TO cover
the existing conditions of his bill, which has not
yet been introduced. Mr. Platt said Tonight
The bill is simple 1t provides that every
policyholder and every stakeholder OF the or
ganization shall have vote in deciding the af@
fairs of the society, and every policyholder as
we'll every stakeholder shall be eligible to be-
come a director. Also that new directors shall
be chosen at an early date. That is all there is
to the BILL and expect that it will surely go in
this week The poicyholders want it and IL
should pass.
1t reported tonight that State Superintendent
Hendricks would go to New-York within a day or
two and endeavor to assist in bringing about an
amicable solution to the existing tangle. Pending
his visit. the bill prepared by Frank III. Platt will
be introduced and it is possible that there will
be no legislative action in the whole matter.

rs BEYOND CRITICISM.
So Mr. Schif Says of HIS Conduct
IN Equitable affairs.

Mr.. Schif. when asked at his home last evening
whether he desired to make any comment the
petition, replied that his firms dealings with the
Equitable had been throughout entirely beyond
any just criticism and TO the company's great ad-
vantage that the petition absolutely of no
concern to him.
He said further that II the representatives of
the different important banking interests on the
drectorates of the great insurance companies were
to be removed because these companies had pur-
chased bonds from the bankers represented on
their boards, It could result only to the disad-
vantage of the companies, which greatly needed
these banking connections for the advantageous
conduct of their business.
Neither Mr.. Hyde his attorney, Samuel
Untermeyer would discuss the petition last even
ing.
Mr. Crimmns said last night that he had seen
Senator Brackett's petition to the Attorney Gen.
eral In tho suit brought for Mrs. Young, but was
not inclined to treat it seriously. He said that
a good many statements had been made there
which ne thought 1t would be pretty hard to sub
stantiate. This petition would not interfere with
the work Of the pocyholders' committee. ne said
and he felt that 1t would have not much
effect on the general situation.

TELLS OF $4,000 BRIBE.
Sensational Testimony at Hearing
on ElSberg AIdermen's Bill.
10y TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1BuNr.l

Albany. March 2S.-Sensational testimony,
which eliminated In the charge that bribe OF
$4,000 had been asked for the passage OF a
franchise act in the Board Of Aldermen of New
York City given to-day at public hear
ing the Elsberg bill. transferring to the
Board OF Estimate and Apportionment the power
to grant franchises and to authorize the con-
struction OF railroads authorized and approved
by the Rapid Transit Commission. The charge
was made by William C. Redfeld, who told his
experiences in trying to get a franchise for the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company for terminal
at a ferry entrance. This franchise the Alder
men. according TO Mr. Redfeld, first delayed and
then refused to grant.
81 am informed" said Mr.. Redfeld. 'by
prominent member OF the Board of Aldermen
that the for the delay that the sum
of $4,000 was demanded for this franchise and
refused"
Elihu Root representing the New-York Con-
Meeting Railroad advocated the passage Of the
bill, and said, in part
advocate this bill to transfer the authority
to grant the consent Of the city for the construc
ton OF railroads particularly of those the plans
for which have been adopted by the Rapid
Transit Commission, upon the ground that the
Board of Aldermen does not perform the funo-
lions which 1t was intended It should perform.
I making no charge against the Board Of
Aldermen to motives which influence them.
but it is impossible for any one to ascertain what
proper arguments can be addressed to the board.
No appeal to reason, no presentation of public
necessity appear to have any effect upon them.
Why they don't get out these franchises I don't
know and / don't undertake to say. I think
1t is time for the people OF the State to determine
what kind of arguments they want addressed
to public officers. The effort to protection
of the interests of the city of New York through
the action of the Board Of Aldermen has had a
trial which has proved longer than the lives of
any OF and has proved failure
]. Edward Swanstrom. William c. De Witt,
James L. Wells, ex-senator John Ford and Law
renee WELLER all spoke in favor of the measure
and it was made a special order IN the Senate
cities Committee for next Tuesday.

seven-year-old boy. of No. 7s5 11th-ave who has
been missing from his home since March o. Is
locked in freight car somewhere on one of the

Johnny in a freight at 55th-st and 11th-ave On
the night of his disappearance
Detective Sergeant Finn has been following I'D
that clew. and had talk with the yardmaster and
the chief detective of the New-York Central. The
yardmaster had no record that there was an empty
opened car in the yards the evening in question
On closer questioning young Hannigan said that he
and Johnny Donohue and an older boy forced the
seals on the door of an empty and got inside.
They saw a yard employee coming, and Hannigan
and the older boy got away but Johnny was SO
small he did not dare come OUT
The railroad officials believe the employee found
the seals broken and fastened them again 1t is
feared the boy may have died from starvation

Albany March Estate and unexpected, but,
nevertheless effective. opposition TO the Stevens
bill, generally defining the securities In which
savings banks may invest their deposits, de-
veloped in the Senate to-day, the result of which
will be the temporary holding up of the meas
ure. If nothing more serious This bill was in
troduced at the request of the State Savings
Banks Association, with the approval of the
Superintendent of Banking. 1t has had two
hearings at which no one opposed il. But now
1t appears that objections made by several
corporations whose bonds would be barred as
proper savings bank investments If the bill be-
comes a law. The result of the debate this
morning was a rather humiliating defeat for
the chairman of the New-York City lighting
investigation committee, who thus far has
experienced little trouble getting favorable
ton on. his measures.
When Senator Stevens moved to have the
bill advanced objection raised by Senator
Gardner. also a member of the Committee on
Banks, on the ground that further hearing
was desired. He asked that 1t be returned to
the committee for this purpose. Senator Ste
vens opposed the motion, but was defeated by
a vote of 26 to Is. All the Democrats and sew
eral Republicans who have distinguished them
selves on previous occasions by refusing to fol-
low the party leaders voted for it's recommittaI
1t is understood that opposition to the bill in
Its present form comes from the Baltimore and
Ohio and Atlantic Coast Line railroads, whose
bonds would not be included; also from certain
other railroads which wish to have the measure
amended to include their third mortgage bonds
The Senate to-day passed the first bills of the
group introduced early in the year to protect
banks from disasters like that which befell the
German Bank, OF Buffalo. One by Senator
Stevens requires directors and trustees of banks
and trust companies to make seni-annual ex-
aminations. The other, introduced by Senator
Davis provides that any bank officer receiving
communication from the State Banking De-
of his bank at the earliest meeting In ex-
PLANTATION OF this measure, Senator Davis, who
comes from Buffalo, said that when the affairs
of the German Bank were Investigated a num-
Der of such communications were found in the
presidents desk which the other officers and
directors had never seen.
