MEANT CITY RAILWAY.
Hearing on Request to Investigate
METROPOLITAN Shoes Mistake.

Albany, March 21-The State Board of Rail-
road Commissioners gave hearing to-day on a
request for an investigation by Judson g. Wall.
president Of the Prospect Heights Citizens AS
ISOLATION Of Brooklyn. who alleges that reports
filed with the State Board by the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company in 1903 and 1904 did
not account for the sum Of S4.5OO,OOO, which was
charged against the company for discounts on
S15OOOOOO Of 8 per cent notes. Of which only
S3465OOO were issued.
The reply Of the railroad company was that
the reator evidently referred to debenture notes
Of the New York City Railway Company. which
was represented by Paul D. Crsvath and Henry
A. Robinson attorneys, and Charles S. Ludlum,
controller Of the company. Attorney General
Mayer represented the commission and con-
Quoted the examination Of witnesses. Judson
G. Wall, the relator, was represented by William
NJ. WINS. The investigation was directed to the
transaction between the New York City Railway
Company and the Metropolitan Securities Com
pany, II being shown that a mistake had been
made as to the Metropolitan Street Railway
Company
Judson G. Wall. Identified the correspondence
which passed between himself and the state
thorities on the subject Mr.. Wall stated that
he wished it understood that he did not occupy
the position Of a complainant He had simply
called the attention of Governor Higgins to re-
asking only for an investigation. On cross-ex-
animation by Mr. Cravath. Mr.. Wall said he
had written Governor Higgins without consult
ing any one and at the request OF no one. He
had acted wholly on his own volition. He said
that he a stock broker Mr. WINS, In reply
to an inquiry of Mr.. Cravath. said that ne was
a voluntary counsel for Mr.. Wall.
Charles s Ludlum examined length
on the reports submitted by the company to the
board in 1903, 1904 and 1905. He pointed out that
there was charge against the capital account
Of the company in each year OF "a 10000 as
representing the discount Of so per cent Of S15-
100000 OF debenture notes contracted for and in
part taken by the Metropolitan Securities Conn
pany He questioned by the Attorney Cen
eral as to why the full amount Of the discount had
been charged whereas only part Of the issue OF
S15,OO0,0OO had been actually taken over by the
Metropolitan Securities Company. He said that
the whole amount Of the discount became a
liability of the New York City Railway Com
pany when 1t entered into the contract to sell
the securities and had to be charged against
the capital account OF the company in order TO
show its true financial condition. He admitted
that more ample explanation might have been
given, but said he did not consider It necessary.

SENATE BUSHES BILL.
RhinecIif- Rhinebeck Measure I'd
RANGED to Third Reading.
IRv Teleeranh b Nc TrIbune.

Albany. March 21.-The Gray bill, extending
the life OF the franchise OF the Rhineclin-Rhine-
beck Surface Railroad. in which Robert H.
Hunter first deputy insurance superintendent
and others are interested. undoubtedly VIII pass
the Senate as speedily as 1t passed the Assembly
yesterday. When it came TO the Senate from tle
Assembly to-day 1T at once advanced 10
third reading without opposition. The measure
was passed in the Assembly by the Odel-NiXon
''old guard" who had exactly enough votes TO
put it through
This franchise. as has been told was renewed
twice before this present attempt both times
without much difficulty. While from the very
beginning no work save the purely nominal lay
ing Of thirty feet Of rail has been done toward
building the road. much effort has been made to
sell the franchise to various concerns.
Now the declaration is made that the ROAD
expects to obtain permission TO change us
motive power from electricity to gasolene, ana
will begin work within a few months the
story current here is that the present holders or
the stock expect to sell it to a concern which
they have formed in New York solely to take
this stock off their hands

exception TO the resolutions passed recently by

Calendar.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune.l

Albany. March 21.-Assemblyman Tompkins
won over the Cities Committee and Assembly
man Agnew this morning. when he succeeded in
carrying by a vote Of so to 80 his motion to sub
stitute his bill on the calendar for bill intro
duced by the Cities Committee establishing a
seaside park for the convalescents Of New York
City. The Tompkins bill authorizes an appro-
priation Of S2,5OO,0OO for the park; the commit
tee bill cut this to $1,000 900. Mr.. Tompkns said
that the committee was throttling individual
legislation to win glory for itself.
After the Assembly had voted on several i'm
material amendments to the Cities Committee
bill the Tompkins measure was substituted and
will go on the order Of third reading as it was
originally drawn. It is probable that II the bill
becomes a law the park will be built at Long

Minneapolis Sons of Veterans have
established record for themselves and
for all others Of their organization in
the last week. During the encampment
more TIM $50 members of the organiza-
ton in Minneapolis gave their entire
time to Red Cross work for the benefit
of visiting veterans and their friends:
The work was one of the features Of
the Minneapolis encampment: Uni
lar campaign hat, white neckties and
belts, leggins and the Red Cross arm
band, the, Sons of Veterans corps was
busy everywhere. Many visiting vet
eran has reason to think kindly of the
Minneapolis Sons and their services.
They were everywhere always doing
something for others. If a veteran fall
tered he was at once sustained by the
son Of comrade. If his load of bag
to carry it. If he needed assistance
of any sort it was ready.
All members OF the corps were sworn
as special police and wore the regula-
ton police badge, which allowed them
to 60 everywhere. They were every
where. During the parade Of 'Wednes-
day their work was of the greatest pos
sible value. They worked wi tn the
police, keeping the lines open; they as

lions along the line of march, furnish

pals of water thru the ranks, giving
relief to tired and thirsty marchers Of
that great army.
At the emergency hospital they were
everywhere. They acted as ambulance
men and nurses and clerks. AS the
speeding Red Cross autos few up the
street during the parade the! Sons Of
Veterans on the front axles or steps
signaled everybody to stand aside.
