BELMONT SHOWN UP.
Wins Exposes Queer Methods of Sub-
 way Finance.

4 NEW YORK, Aug. .23.-How August Belmont, the banker, profited by req. son of his alternate identity as August Belmont, head of the Interborough Rap i'd Transit company, was demonstrated when William NJ. Wins resumed his investigation of the affairs of the com pany for the public service commission. With E. P. Bryan, now president of the Interborough, on the witness stand MT. Twins showed how the bookkeeping of the company had been padded and more than million dollars of Belmont profits charged to the construction and equipment account which the city eyen- tually will have to pay.
 The point of the bookkeeping jug glery, said one of the lawyers, is that while August Belmont of the fnterbor- ough has fifty years by the contract with the city to pay the cost of con struction August Belmont, the banker. is getting out of the Interborough all there Is in 1t.
 Below are some of the operating and financiering items charged up to the city, as shown by Mir. Twins in his ex- animation of President Bryan:
 August Belmont's salary for three years, at s75,o00 year, amounting to $225, 900.
 August Belmont's personal contribu- ton of $500 to the National Civic fed eration, of which he was president.
 Discount of $+50,000 paid to August Belmont & Co. on an issue of Inter- borough gold notes taken by the firm.
 Commission of $T5,00O paid to Au- gust Belmont & Co. for selling to Au- gust Belmont & Co. the Interborough gold notes, on which they had been al- lowed the discount of $450.000
 August Belmont's souvenir history of the subway, in which August Belmont Is eulogized as the moving spirit of the work, published at cost of $13,500.
 Fees of $50.000 paid to Lawyers Jo- eph s. Auerbach and Walter c. Oak man for acquiring the lease of the Manhattan elevated fer the Interbor- ough company.
 These items alone aggregate S914,0O0, and there are others. They had abso- lutely nothing to do with the construc- tion of the subway. The character of these expenditures was such that even had they been charged tc operating ex- penses the stockholders might have found reason to question some of them. As they stand on the books the city would be called upon to pay them.

they would have testified to tho insanity of Mrs
Bradley as readily they did TO her sanity had
they found her TO be insane. They were questioned

th!zo with her in her predicament. Or. Henry D.
