DEALS UNCOVERED
More Disclosures of Traction
Game in New York.
BRADY Only A DUMMY

| Sale of Fake Railway Said to Have
Been For Prominent Banking House
No Immunity Bath For WIdener
Dolan and Others.
New York, Oct. 16-Scrutiny of the
books Of the Metropolitan Securities
company has brought to light three
other deals by which the surface roads
were milked by the Ryan-Whitney
crowd.
The procedure in each case was
similar to that disclosed in this trans
action related by Anthony N. Brady
who sold" fictitious Wall and Court
landt street ferry railway to the Met
ropolitan for 1865 900 and distributed
$4,000 In checks drawn to members
of the Ryan Whitney company and to
the Tammany bankers, Moore &
Schley.
In each case the Metropolitan was
MIXED and the profits were checked
out to the insiders, just as Brady di
yided the fat" in the deal already ex
posed.
The sensational facts concerning
these three deals will be brought out
at the traction investigation. The dis
closures may come when the traction
inquiry is resumed Thursday. or. ii
circumstances prevent the matter be-
ing reached at that time. TIE facts will
be brought out at subsequent hear
ing.
None of those connected with the
traction inquiry would discuss these
revelations. When Mr. WINS was ask
ed about it. he simply said: "All the
facts will be brought out"
That Kuhn. Loeb & company. and
not Anthony n, Brady. transferred the
Wall and Cortlandt street road" was
one of the interesting disclosures of the
books. And Kuhn, Loeb & company
are said to have received 81, SOC, 900 in
connection with The transaction.
In other words. Brady was a dunn
my. Kuhn. Loeb & company were the
real factors in the transaction.
The document which Mr.. WINS had
put into the record about a 81, 500, 900
commission to Kuhn, Loeb & company
has been explained, it is said, as part
Of the Wall and Gartlandt street 'rail-
road Transaction. -
In conn ect:on with this deal 1t was
positively ststed that William c. Whit
ney had control of the Wall and Cort-
landt street franchise before Anthony
n Brady sold his alleged holdings 10
the Ryan Whitney eloup.
1t became definitely known that P.
A. B. Wide1er. Thomas Dolan and
other members Of the Whitnay Ryan
crowd will not b. called as witnesses
at the traction Investigation To do so
would give them Immunity, and this
the public service commission does not
intend to permit.
Those gentlemen. it was said, could
make all the explanations they cared
in an effort to draw the fire of the
commission, and have them called to
the witness s-and But they will not
be questioned by the commission. To
do SO would destroy hope of proseeu-
ton. if 1t is determined that such ac-
ton is open to the district attorney.

Only One-Fourth Pure Whiskey
Wilson Finds That Blenders Get Remainder
Country's Output.

Secretary Wilson says that his
visit to some of the Baltimore dis
tilleries in company with DR.. II.
w. Wiley, chief of the B reau of
Chemistry, and George F. McCabe,
the law officer of the Agricultural
Department, has been productive
of good results. They examined
the operations of two distilleries,
one blending establishment and a
gin still, with view to ascertain
ing precisely how the liquors are
made.
At the gin still only six barrels
of the liquor are manufactured each
day. 1t is pronounced pure by DR..
Wiley, but not gallon of it is sold
in the market. 1t is sold exclusive.
ly to blenders, who mix the pure
gin with neutral spirits and some
flavoring material, and that pro-
duct is put on the market as gin.
They also discovered that three
fourths of the straight whiskey
made IN this country is sold to
blenders, who use it in connection
with spirits and flavoring and color
ing matter to make their products.
AS consequence of the investi-
cation it is quite probable Secretary
Wilson will not recede from his de-
cision. that the so-called "b ended
whiskies," artifically colored and
favored. were spurious limitations
of whiskey and that "the mixture
of such an imitation with a genuine
article cannot be regarded as mix
ture of like substances within the
letter and intent of the law.
McHenry Whiskey is pu.e and
is sold only in bottles so that blend
ers cannot use it to mix with inn
pure INGREDIENTS.

BIRDS INSIST SPRING IS HERE.

A Tamauqua correspondent oI
the Philadelphia Record SAYS:
Farmers are neither romancers
nor prevaricators. When they
speak their words are heavy-laden
with truth. Such being the condi.
ton, general credence is given the
stories that ale being told by the
worthy grangers Of the West Penn
and the Lehigh and Mahononing
Valleys regard'ng the phenomena
of spring like winter.
Blue birds have been seen by
fully a score of farmers, while al
most every granger who has stirred
from his house has seen robins.
One worthy ye,man, who is dea.
con in West Penn church assever-
ates that for the past FIVE mornings
he has been awakened by the pip
ing Of the robins. He also de lares
that the chorus Of the crickets,
blending with 'me-rum" Of the
frogs in swamp OH his land, have
lulled him to sleep for three weeks
past. On one farm in Mahononing
the cherry trees are in blossom and
birds are mating and building their
nests The sloping fields of this
beautiful countryside are blanketed
with green and flecked with the
golden dande!ion fl .wers. Gazing
upon this vernal scene, it is only
natural that the hens in the barn
yard should forthwith refuse to lay,
take to nest and clamor for eggs
to hatch out. One farmer says that
out Of flock of IS hens 7I are
"hatchy." This farmer is not a
deacon ii church, but he does
teach Sunday school class.
But it is from the I.ehigh Valley
that the most amazing story comes.
There the horses and cattle are
shedding their winter coats. the
leaves are coming out on the apple
as we'll as the cherry trees and in
the woods trailing arbutus is raising
It's head tinidly above the dead
leaves.
On farm close to the Schuylkill
line granger and two of his help
ers tell of terrific battle they saw
on Thursday last between a bull
finch and a snake. The. tllers of
the soil say on their honor that the
bnll-hnch was protecting nest in
which there were two eggs. The
snake, they say, was extremely
lively, showing that he had been
out of his winter quarters a suffi-
cient time TO allow his siuggishness
to wear off. The bull-fnch picked
the snake TO death.

Railroad Mail Too High.
Congress Likely TO Make a Cut Of Ten
Per Cent.

The Post Office Committee Of the
House will recommend a 10 per
cent. cut in the amount paid to rail
roads for carrying the mails. Rail.
way mail pay and subsidies now
amount to S43, 900, 900 annually,
and the proposed cut will iuean a
saving Of about 81 100000 year.
The committee in an informal vote,
stood IL to 6 in favor of the reduct-
ion.
Second Assistant Postmaster
General Shallenherger was before
the committee last week and pro-
pounded two startling propositions
Heretofore he has maintained that
the money paid to railways for car
ryipg the mails is fair. He sur
prised the committee, therefore, by
declaring that he favored cut of
6 per cent. The committee went
him a per cent. better.
Shallenberger's second surprise
came when he said that there is no
such tremendous loss to the depart
ment as has been claimed in the
transportation of second.class mail
matter. UP to this time the depart
ment has maintained that the ratio
of loss was between 8 and 9 to I.
In he fiscal year the receipts from
second-class matter were So, 900, 900
and the cost OF transportation was
estimated at $27, 900, 900. Mr..
Shallenberger now says there is no
such tremendous difference as this.
He now believes that second-class
matter pays its own way. This
will probably explode the move
ment to have the charge for carry
ing second class mail matter in
creased.
