coats. and many sought cooler places outside the
hall before final adjournment. This made possible
the casting Of the votes Of several delegations by
unauthorized persons during the last few ballots.

persons put out OF the hall FOR such improper
voting. but it did not seem to affect the result ma
teriay in any During the first hour and a
half of the session the question of an Endorsement
of county option in temperance legislation was un-
der discussion an attempt by w. l.. Finley TO
amend the platform and give such an Endorsement
being defeated. 57S1a to 3S74A on a rollcan. The
discussion developed opposition to the general idea
of county option. while some delegates insisted that
the platform already was strong enough on the
very point for which Mr.. Finley oOntended,
When the convention reassembled It was with the
knowledge that n fight was assured on county
option A protracted night session OF the committee
on the platform had been insufficient 20 bring the
different opinions together. Many of the temperance
advocates, among them the leaders Of the Anti
saloon League, understood to be willing TO
accept a compromise. but Mr.. Finley had all along
maintained that compromise which left the
county option idea az all obscured would be accept
able to him.

Bird S. Coler President of the Borough OF Brook
lyn, was indignant in his denial of a statement
published yesterday in 1.-THE Brooklyn Daily Eagle"
that he was interested in the Medina Quarry Com
pany which has large contracts for paving in
Brooklyn.
The story in 'The Eagle charged that Mr.. Coler
through his firm, w N. Coler & Co.. OF which ne
IS the principal partner, is heavily interested IN
the Orleans Quarry Company which controls the
output of Medina sandstone which is required oy
the specifications for the paving OF more than TWO
miles of city streets. II was said that the chaiF-
man of the executive committee OF the Orleans
company is one of the partners OF the firm OF W. N
COler & Co.
The Medina company went into bankruptcy some
time ago and was reorganized into the orleans
Quarry Company It is charged that the controlling
interest in the Orleans company is shared by the
firm Of W. n Coler Co with three other New
York and Philadelphia firms, and that Bird s.
Coler while he has resigned the presidency ana

financial interest through connection with tHe

The story was based chiefly upon an interview
with r. A. Kilborn, secretary-treasurer and gen

said according to The Eagle:
Owing to mismanagement, the Medina Quarry
Company lost 5000 a month for thirty-thTee
months, and then went into bankruptcy. which
