way. company deal, which has been un-
der investigation by the grand jury. in
cluded a political contribution of $780,
900 with interest made by the Metro

presidential campaign of 1900, accord
ing TO an explanation said to have been
given to the grand jury by Thomas f.

to which political party received the
money. 1t was two years after the
contribution was made, according to
Ryan. before an opportunity was af-
forded TO repay Ryan and his associ-
ates the sums they advanced. Then
came the opportunity to purchase the
Wall and Cortland street company.

guests. Some mystery surrounds the
robbery, for an effort was made to sup

The thieves gained entrance either
through an open basement window or
by lifting a ladder to the fire escape

stolen from a room on the third floor,
and the police believe that the work
was done by persons familiar with the
premises.
