Lemuel E. Quigg was the first witness called
yesterday. He told about still more work at AL
bany. A payment OF $500 to Colonel Reuben L.
Fox, formerly secretary of the Republican State
Committee, was explained as being for informa-
ton from the coloneIs bureau and for copies Of
bills introduced Mr.. Wins examined him in re-
gard TO bills of the series of five "Steinway

opposing He hardly agreed that Speaker
Nixon, in the Assembly, and Senators Ralnes
and Malby controlled legislation. He never spoke
TO either Senator about the steinway bills
though he did to Speaker Nixon.
He did not remember exactly. either, as Mr..
WINS put it to him. that Senator Raines moved
one of those bills for final passage and then
left the Senate chamber when Senator Malby
moved to strike out its enacting clause, thus
killing it, Those bills were easy to beat. he

he had paid $500 TO James L. Wells, he said.
He did not know how much had gone to Edward
II. Healy. He had regular agreement with
either, he answered, after some hesitation. He
admitted causing the Central Federated Union
meeting OF March 26 1905, protesting against
the granting of certain subway franchises.
At that meeting Controller Grout, John Ford.
Thomas Rock and Mr.. Bolton spoke. but none,
Quigg explained. paid to speak there. He

D. G. Moorehead. secretary Of the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company, called to testify
again that he had made further search for
the missing checks and vouchers. Mr.. WINS
then declared that IN the ledger OF the Metro
politan Securities Company, in a suspense ac-
count amounting TO $174,092 56, he found a
voucher dated October 81. 1908. for $4,000
This was a check IN payment of bill dated
November 3, 1902.
The investigation will be continued to-day,
when Anthony n. Brady probably will be called
TO the stand TO tell about receiving more than
$500 600 for franchises for a road the building

OPPOSED TO RECEIVERS.
SeveraI La7cyers Argue against
Making Them Permanent.

Roger Foster, as counsel for Joseph Conrad. hold
ing a Judgment against the New York City Railway
Company for IS 600 for injuries, and three other
persons with claims for injuries, argued before
Judge Lscombe yesterday against his making per-
manent the federal receivership that company.
He denounced the receivership improper and col
luslve. almost as much stock grab" as had been
the Third avenue receivershp.
Mr.. Foster wanted to file papers in motion 70 set
aside the receivershp. but this Judge Lacombe
would not allow. This action could be fled later he
said. He fixed next Monday day on which ne
would hear arguments on that subject. So the law
yer forced to confine his arguments TO decara-
tons that this receivership had been cooked up for
days before the papers filed. It was improper,
It took the jurisdiction from the state courts
where It belonged.
The court has been imposed upon" declared
Mr.. Foster, land induced TO step outside of its
Jurisdiction This case brought here 10 pre-
vent the State Attorney General and the minority
stockholders and creditors from proceeding against
the defendants in the state court The appoint
ment of the receivers is in conflict with Judge
Holts decision relative 10 this same property and
the illegality Of parallel roads"
Mr. Foster then raked up the history Of The
Third avenue receivership, and said both Judge
Lacombe, who appointed the receivers and the
latter had been deceived. This present suit, like
that one, Mr. Foster said. was practically a stock
grabbing matter.
Your honor was deceived then, and assume
your honor does not want TO be deceived again q"
smiled Mr.. Foster. Your honor will recall the
receiver deceived into making a report show

Mr.. Foster continued that the court should not
assume the difficulties of the receIvership owing
TO the many burdens 1t would impose.
The court already understands the many bur-
dens," interrupted Judge facombe.
Mr. Foster said there were no questions OF inter-
state matters, and therefore nothing remained
properly give the federal court jurisdiction.
He objected TO many things in the order appoint
ing the receivers among them the right OF the re-
ceivers TO pay rentals to other roads without the
courts order and their right to create prefer
ences in damage suits and their authority to bor-
money and fix salaries for employees and
officers.
Judge Lacombe said that several OF the matters
named in the order would be modified IL having
been found that some of them subject to one
or many constructions.
Judge Lacombe added that the position OF the
receivers with regard to payments IN damage
tions he should grant a hearing on.
Several others argued against the receiverships.

FUSION In THE AIR.
County Republicans A7cait MoUe
from independence League.

There probably Is TO be sort OF fusion
understanding between the Republicans and the In
dependence League on a county ticket. although
President Parsons OF tho Republican County Com
mttee refused yesterday to discuss the matter.
Mr.. Parsons seems 10 be waiting for the Hearst
people 10 make proposition If they should not
make It, there will not be any combination. The
Hearst men probably will have TO go more than
half way IN the matter. showing by their willing
ness to support fit candidates that their chief
is not the spoils Of office. one OF President
Parsons's friends said last night:
'If we don't fuse will be defeated at the polls
This ia an off year-a year OF municipal elections
The Republican trainers OF the state constitution
took the view that strict party lines might oe dis
regarded in municipal elections. The principal
enemy-the man 10 be crushed-is Murphy. It is
the Murphy machine which the Republicans will
have 10 fight next year and In subsequent years

This view may not be strictly Parsons view
OF the situation. but It comes from man close 10
the president Of the county committee.
II the Hearst men support Justice Bruce. Judge
Whitman and Justice Wadhams all Of whom are
to be renomnated by the Republicans the Hearst
men will demand support for their candidate for
Sheriff. Who this will be IS certain. The
friends OF MaSimian F. Ihmsen. Mr. Hearst's
cappagn manager insist that the place be given
to him. The friends OF John Palmer appointed
TO the Municipal District Court bench by Governor
Odeu in 1904. expect that he will be named.
1t was learned last night that yet no deal
had been arranged. In many OF the Assembly dis
trcts the respective leaders OF the Republican and
independence League organizations have Joined
forces in tho hope OF wrestling control from Tam
many. These minor deals attract little attention
as they do not carry great potentially. 1t will be
much different however, when the Issue for or
against fusion with the Hearst men comes up in
the county committee Thursday night OF this
week. The time is up that night. and, what
ever those in control Of the county convention de
eide TO do win have to be done on or before that
night.
