sion In Wall street Ferry Case.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Interest in the
Investigation of the sale of the Wall
and Cortland Street Ferries railway
by Anthony n. Brady was increased
by the calling of William NJ. WINS,
special counsel to the public service
commission, as a witness by the grand
jury. The appearance of Mr.. WINS
was accepted as indicating that action
by the grand jury in the matter under
investigation could be expected in a
short time.
Ii Is an open secret that Mr.. WINS
lid not produce all the evidence he had
relating to the sale Of the Wall and Cort-
land Street Ferries railway through
witnesses summoned by him before the
public service commission. He had ex-
perts at work on the books of the Met
-opolitan Securities company, and these
experts discovered many things of
great public interest which Mr.. WINS
decided would be better left alone until
later in the Investigation conducted by
the commission.

for abnormal growth in any business
and it is so with savings banks The

says:
The Hyde Park savings bank reach
ed notable point in its history July

the institution reached the million dol
lar mark The master mind in the af
fairs of the bank is that of its presi-
dent, Carroll s. Page, and to that far
sighted policy and liberal treatment
that so markedly characterizes all his
business dealings, is largely due the
great increase in assets and the sue
cess that has always attended the in.
stitution.
