WEEKLY LETTER
FROM GOTHAM

New York, Feb. 26.-The Building
Department found itself stumped the
other day to classify the plans that
were submitted by William Z. Van
derbilt for new building that he is to
have constructed on Fifty second St.
between Madison and Park Avenues.
The building may be either garage
or a two family dwelling, or more
likely both. The building which is to
cost $l5O,000 will be fanked by a
stable on either side; but the facade,
nevertheless. is to be in the italian
Renaissance style. The basement is
to contain garage and there will be
billiard room in the rear on the
ground floor. A central winding stair
case with foyer, an electric elevator
and pergola that may be used for q
summer garden are among the other
features OF it, whose upper Ioors are
arranged for duplex apartments.
The structure is to be seven stories
| high.
Now that the use of automobiles has
become common in New York, there
has been discovered a new form Of
''graft" for city officials. The city
furnished the different department.
heads with autos in order that they
might save time in getting from place
to place and thereby accomplish more
work. But Mayor Mcclellan has now
discovered that the officials use the
machines for their own private use.
and it is not uncommon to see the
wife Of one Of the officials going about
from shop to shop in city owned au-
to. with city paid chauffeur at the
wheel, while all repairs and the gas
| oline are paid for out Of the city treas
ury. The Mayor intends to stop the
private use of the machines. and
while it may be impossible to learn
whether the machine is used for priv
ate purposes during official hours, it
will be possible tu eliminate the long
Sunday trips which the officials and
their families have been accustomed
to take in the city's cars. Mayor Nc
Cellan has several plans under advise
| ment, such as the time checks and
| speedometers for running down the
guilty ones.
When the dignified Judges of the
Special Sessions Court in New York
the other day ordered that the court
be cleared for ventilation while the
Bench went for luncheon. one seedy
looking man kept his seat. One Of
the Judges spied the offender and or
dered a court officer to eject him.
The officer hustled the man out of the
room. and warned him never to re-
turn, threatening bodily violence if he
dared insult the honorable Judges
again by as much as his presence.
The Court was reconvened, after the
midday meal, and the Judge sat in
the Bench. "John Marshall to the
bar" No John Marshall to the bar,
at least. although his name was shout
ed till the crier was hoarse. Again
the dignity of the court was deeply
offended. "Where is the prisoner"
asked the Judge. 81 know. piped
up a weazened old man in the front
row, He's the fellow you threw out Of

HELD UNDER $1,000 BAIL
FOR EMBEZZLING P. S. C.
Dodge's Counsel Wins Partial Victory,
Getting Permission to Copy
Releases.

Objection was made in the First
Criminal Court today by Lawyer ]. A.
Barnard, representing Vernon w.
Dodge, who was charged with embez-
element by the Public Service Corpora
ton, TO the attempt of Lawyer Beasley,
counsel for the Public Service, to re-
tain possession of the releases which
were offered in evidence during the
examination. Judge Howell ruled hat
he would allow both attorneys to make
copies of the releases. and stated he
would send the releases to the Grand
Jury. This was a partial victory for
Dodge's attorney, although it will not
affect the case in any way.
Lawyer Beasley offered no objection
to having the releases go to the Grand
Jury, saying that he would withdraw
his request for possession of the pa
pers.
Vernon was arraigned on two com
plants, charging that he embezzled
$40. On these he was ordered to fur
nish 81, 900 bail, to await action of the
Grand Jury.
Judge Howell declared that if the
complaints against Dodge were true it
appeared hat his methods of embezzle-
ment had a double edge. in that both
the company and the people having
claims against it were out money.
An examination on another complaint
against Dodge will be held or Tuesday.
