YELLOW DOC FUND"
$600,000 Said to Be Secret In
 Brady Paper Road Deal.
POLITICIANS GOT A SLICE.
Whitney, Widener, Ryan, Elkins, Dolan and Others Contributed to Pool to "care For Political Obligations Which Could Not Be Avoided"


 Could Not Be Avoided"
 New York, Oct. 15.--As the result of thorough investigation the World says it is enabled to clear up the mys. tery surrounding the payment to An thony N Brady of S96j.60I.19 by the Metropolitan Securities company and the subsequent return of S115.000 of it to Thomas F. Ryan. Thomas Dolan, William l.. Elkins. Moore X Schley. William C. Whitney and Peter A. B. Widener. all of whom were connected with the Metropolitan Securities com. pany.
 Anthony x. Brady in his testimony before the public service commission declared tha: on May 22. 1902. when hc received the check of the Metropoli- tan Securities company for S965. .f07 .19. signed by Thomas n. Fowler. it's pres ident. he drew cheeks amounting in round numbers to ST15.0n0. payable to the following individuals: Thomas F. Ryan. Thomas DOlan. William l.. FL kins. W. C. Whitney and Peter A. R. Widener. each S111.G52.TS. and Moore & Schley. Sl2i.o2S.IS.
 Rut Mr. Brady did not explain why he made the agreement with Mir. Whit ney and NIT. Ryan to return these amounts or what service the recipients rendered in return for it. Possibly he did not know. as his agreement was made with Mir. Ryan and NIT. Whit ney.
 NIT. Ryan has declined to throw any light on the subject. NIT. Widener and NIT. DOlan have explained that the cheeks received by them represented loan Of SIO0,O00 each. with interest dat ing from Jan. 22- 1?O0. to May =. 1aI2 But neither gentleman has contributed to the information of the public their knowledge of tho character of the Ioan. it's inspiration and the purposes for which the money was actually used This is the Worlds explanation of the matter:
 Arrangement For Yellow Dog Fund"
 Tn January. 1esl. Mir. Whitney and Mfr Ryan havinz completed their ar raneements for the promotion of the Metropolitan Securities company. which vas intended to fnanee the public servfce ambitions of Mir Whitney and MT. Ryan with the old Metropolitan Street railway corporation and it's Iaased properties as its PrincipaI asset. proposed to Mir Dolan. Mir. EIkfns. Mir wHlener and Mir SchEey the creation of a fund--eoutEnesnt.- # was styIad hy Mr. whif1ey. the p-incipaI rrojectoI of it. yellow dog fund as it would now he czIied.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-10-15

This fund was to amount to S6O0, GOO and was to be used for certain expenditures which could not properly be set forth on the books of the Met ropolitan Securities company" The S600000 was to be raised by six sub- scriptions of $100.000 each and was to be repaid with interest at the rate of AL per cent at the discretion of Mir. Whitney and Mir Ryan. The subscrip- tions of S100,000 each were to be paid in installments of $25,000.
 Three members of the syndicate gave their checks for the full amount of their subscriptions The others re- sponded to calls for their S25.O00 sub scriptions as needed. The pool fund was disbursed under the direction of both Mir. Whitney and Mir. Ryan.
 The only definite information that the other subscribers to it had was that it was to he used lin paying the expenses of promoting the Metropoli- tan Securities company. removing ob- stacles at Albany and in New York
  which could not be avoided"
 Hanna Got Slice For the Campaign.
 The Metropolitan Securities compa- ny was incorporated on Feb. 15. 1900, after many obstacles had been remov- cd both at Albany and in New York city" The most definite information to he obtained on this point is that more than one-third of the S600.000 had been disbursed up to September of the same year
 Somewhere between the 20th of that month and the 9th of October what remained of the fund was expended. At that time the late Mark Hanna was the chairman of the Republican na- tional committee. Mir Hanna in order to raise tho large sum of money which he considered necessary to insure the election of Mckinley and Roosevelt in augurated his campaign by sounding a note of alarm that frightened the cor roratiOns. He issued many statements limiting at the possibility of the defeat of the Republican ticket and the cleo tion Of Mir Bryan.
 He called to his aid EIihu Root and Cornelius N Bliss. treasurer of the national committee. The World says that Mir Bliss succeeded in securing a very large slice if not all that was left of the contingent fund that NIT. Whitney and Mir Ryan had created nine months before.
 No Record Made Of Loans For the Pool The character of the expenditures from this fund for removing obstacles at Albany and New York from the path of the Metropolitan Securities compsny has never been explained and probably never will be. hut there is the best of reasons for believing that what the Republican national commit tee did not get of the Whitney Ryan contingent fund in the campaign of 1goO found its way into the pockets of politicians in this city and at Albany. There was no record of the loans made by the subscribers to the Whit ney- Ryan pool of Janusry. 1o10 nor so tar as known any acknowledgment of the subscriptions to protect the sub seTibers-
 It was not until Mir. Brady ualoaded his paper franchise for the Wall and Cortland Street Ferries Rsflroad con

pany on MT. Ryan's Metropolitan Se- curities company that the subscribers received the full amount of their sub scriptions plus the interest.
 Then, in accordance with "the agree. ment made between MT. Whitney and MT. Ryan on the one hand and Mir Brady on the other," Thomas D. Fow. Ter. president of the Metropolitan Secu. rites company. drew the check of his company for $965,6O7.19 and forward. ed it to Mir. Brady. The latter has tes. tified that he returned S715, ,1O7.19 of it in checks made payable to MT. Ryan, Mir Whitney. Mir. Widener, Mir. Elkins, Mr. Dolan and Moore & Schley.

Chief POTTER HAS
ANOTHER SUGGESTION

y
In conversation with a Daily News
reporter this morning, Chief Potter,
of the fire department said: Il wish
could learn all the people homely
lesson or two. One of the first things
I'd teach them would be never to
place wood or clothing or other inflam-
able material in such place that they
would come in contact with electric
wires or the meter or the switches.
Never use an electric wire as a
clothes line and see to it that your
dwelling is kept free from rats, be-
cause these pests are the causes of
more fires than one would suppose.
These pests are the cause of many of
what are known all over the states as
electric fires-the total losses last year
Of this class of fires being close on
to $15,OOO.0OO.
1T is the duty of every citizen to
keep the hazard down to its lowest
point that insurance may not be toe
newhigh."
The chief said that the departments
new wagons were expected daily and
as soon as they came the new stations
would be formally opened.
