WILL NOT DISCUSS CRITICIsM.
Commissioner MacfnrIand silent on
MuIIowney's Words OF Censure.

Commissioner MacfnrIand silent on
MuIIowney's Words OF Censure.
Commissioner Macfarland. in an inter
view last night. declined 10 comment on
the criticism made by Judge Mullowney,
relative to the vesting OF the Commis-
sioners OF the collateral-talSing power Of
the Police Court in Financial Clerk Sc
bring rather than Assistant Corporation
Counsel James Pugh.
Judge Mullowney eontended that the
clerk. not being a judicial officer, and
not being acquainted with facts in cases
as they came up, should have the power
TO fix the amount Of the collateral
Judge Munowney said that the repre-
sentatives of the District understood all
the facts in the case Of Ernest Holmes
and Harry Perry, charged with destroy
ing property in a saloon. This case
brought forth the adverse criticism. Judge
the District Attorney is responsible for
the trial of cases, he should not be al
lowed TO nix the collateral.
Commissioner Macfarland said last
night that three years ago the Commits
sioners ordered their representative at
the Polic1 Court, the assistant corpora
ton counsel. not 10 try cases in his office
or 10 fix collateral. but TO take every
prima facie case into court and let the
court decide it as well as al questions OF
collateral OF fines. The Commissioners
held that the prosecuting officers duty
was to prosecute and not TO decide cases,
or 10 take collateral or fines.
Commissioner Macfarland said that he
believed this order had brought good re-
suits.

the Heinze. Morse. and Thomas interests,
respectively and conjunctively, was dis
cussed al many informal meetings Of
banks to-day. Unexpected action on the
part Of the NHeinze-M Morse contingent in
the Mercantile precipitated much Of the
discussion.
At the close OF the day nothing definite
was determined. but it appeared prob
able that the original plan for the con-
solidation of three banks and the liqulda-
ton Of them by another bank had been
amended According to the most tan
gible amended proposition. the Mercantile
is TO be hquidated by the Irving Ex-
change National Bank and the COnsoli-
dated and the National Of North America
are to be consolidated. Such programme
is well advanced, but on account Of the

without notice.

her spirit control" known as Little
Bright Eyes," who said this was his
first wife's wish. 1t was by advice
of the same mysterious entity that
he had given the medium certain prop
erty in Brooklyn. In her seances at the
First Spiritualistic church Mrs. Pep
per-Vanderbilt had claimed to be able
to read unopened letters through the
help Of Bright Eyes," but when in
the proceedings in court the attorney
for the petitioner handed her note
sealed in plain envelope and asked
her to read it Bright Eyes" did not
come to her aid, and she was unable
to do so. A witness for the petitioner
had said that the medium was accus-
toned to kiss certain male friends.
among them j. Edward Allen, and in
reply to this she testified in court, 1T
is true that kissed J. Edward Allen,
as had hundreds Of times before, bu.
it was purely platonic salute"
Mr.. Vanderbilt was found by the
jury incompetent to manage his estate.
Mr. Allen was seized with an apo
plectic stroke on learning the verdict
and died.
