while he did go there in his capacity of counsel for
Douglass. he did not go to try 10 make bargain
with the president for immunity. He does not say

President Thornes house. Mr.. Quincy ended his
talk to the newspaper men with the remark that
certain things had been said to him by bennett at
their interview at the Manhattan Club which pro-

all that he would have say In the matter to-day
Mr. Quincys statement says:
The little information which / have as to the
Douglass-D bennett affair IN New York is given an
altogether exaggerated Importance in the press
this morning. Some eight years ago l had a
Sesg shg9t acqqalntancS with Mr. DenheIt as

time until he recalled himself to my recollection at
the Manhattan Club on Wednesday morning, April

would consider taking up matter about which he
/ listened TO what he had to say, both then and
he gave me a general outline. which he did without
mentioning any names either Of institutions or in
dviduas criminay duplicating himself. was
evidently of a serious nature spent the next two
days-Thursday and Friday In Boston: On Sat
urday ] met Mr.. bennett again at the club and in
formed him that / had decided that / would not
accept any retainer or take the case he had laid
before
stated that X he desired / would turn IL over
TO my brOther-in-law Mr. Robertson Honey, who
l knew sometimes took criminal cases. and this
was subsequently done have no relations what
ever with the Trust Company of America and
have absolutely information. even If considered
myself professionally free TO give IT, which would
throw any further light on the defalcation.

ment to Municipal Charter.

out last night IN address before the Municipal
Art Society at its building. No 11s East 18th street

lars in improvements throughout greater New

friends would work for the passage by the state

whereby a permanent and saIaried art commission
might be created. Mr.. Cantor pointed out that by
buying property adjoining the Improvement work,
the city could later sell the surplus property at
a profit because Of it's value being enhanced By the
improvements.

inRs OF the society should hereafter be in NOvem-
her instead in April. and that the board Of d.

General Leonard Woods lingering in the Philip
pines. Secretary Taft gave him permission TO re-

of local affairs. 1t therefore arranged that
General Wood should retain command Of the Dlyis-
ion Of the Philippines until after Secretary TaIt
states late in the year and il is hardly likely that
he will assume command of the Department or the
