REGARDING ELsBERG AMENDMENT.

The attitude OF the Citizens Union on the amend
ment TO the Elsberg bill regarding the term for
which franchises may be let TO transit corporations
has been fixed by the following resolution for
warded to the Public Service Commission yester-
day:
Resolved That favor leases with without
q maximum term, with power reserved to the city
at any time upon reasonable notice and
upon terms to be agreed to at the time Of making
such leases and that the law be changed to make
this effective.
Provided, however. that the Public Service Com
mission shall have power in it's discretion grant
a minimum term during which there shall be no
right CT re-entry, such minimum term not to exceed
ten years
The Citizens Union In it's communication, ex-
presses its confidence that public opinion and the
judgment of the commission would prevent the
granting Of franchise for an absolutely indefinite
period unless there real and substantial reason
for such grant 1t believes that franchises could
and should be limited by proper sinking fund pro-
visions. which would enable the city pay for the
property and re-enter the franchise. The Cit-
zens Union is opposed to the entire repeal of the
Elsberg bill, as proposed by Senator McCarren
and to the Travis bill, which changes the term OF
the franchise period from twenty-five to fifty years

CAN FIX FARE TO RESORT.
Jackson Holds Public Service Board
Has Pozcer IN Coney Island Case.
by telegraph to The Tribune.


Albany Feb. 25.-Replying TO resolution by
the Senate seeking information, the Attorney
General tonight gave his opinion that the
Public Service Commission in the 1st District
had power TO fix the fare from Manhattan to
Coney Island at five cents, il it decided that to
be Just and reasonable In making that decis
ion he took into consideration the decision OF
the Court of Appeals in the Saratoga gas case,
that the Legislature had a right to delegate its
rate fixing powers.
"A written complaint he says. claiming that
the 10-cent fare is unjust and unreasonable and
in violation of the law. gives the commission
jurisdiction to determine the facts and reducs
the fare to that which is reasonable.
That the Court of Appeals in the case Of the
Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company held the
I0-cent rate legal. Mr.. Jackson says, does not
prevent the commission from making an investi-
CATION and lowering the rate If the present rate
is found TO be unreasonable.
There is railroad street surface rail-
road excepted from the operation of the public
service laws he declares. but il is possible
that the Long Island Railway Company, carry
ing passengers from Suffolk County 20 Coney
Island, may be within the jurisdiction of the
commission of the I'd District. 1 am not aware
of any other exception.

Cases" 4Hrmed.

Albany. Feb 25.-The Court of Appeals at
ffrmed to-day the Judgments of conviction against
Byron ID. Gibson, William Jackson and John w
Neff in the so-caIled Buffalo graveyard cases"
involving alleged bribery In the Erie County Board
of Supervisors in connection with the removal
OF bodies from the old North Street Cemetery in
Buffalo to clear the site for a new state armory
Gibson and Jackson were convicted under sec
ton Y of the Penal Code for receiving brtbes by
which their votes supervisors were to be in
fuenced They were sentenced to Auburn prison
for terms of five years eacn. Nef was convicted
of grand larceny because of his acts as County
Auditor of Erie County in certifying causing
payment Oc, Nber 1. 1901, of warrant for the sum
of $3.50 to the order of Rowland j. Conover u
contractor. W n nothing due him. He re-
ceived sentence of seven wears in prison
The court is unanimous in its decision in both
cases Judge Hiscock wri,ins the opinions. After
giving resume or tbs Neff case Judge HscoclS
in his opinion says In part:
With the general merits. of this conviction we
established beyond anv reeso4sbI dobe me evidence
that while the appellant holding the office Of
the county from unjust and Illegal claims he was
Ine aGIve and wicked promoter Of scheme and
and swollen claims. The only question is whether
to his conviction that we should revers il ~ Is
argued win earnestness and ability by counsel In
MS behalf that such errors were committed.
Judge Hiscoci then takes up each Of the alleged
errors and disposes OF them one by one In the
cases OF Gibson and Jackson Judge Hscock saws
in part:
The evidence corresponded with the charges and
II Is conceded that the agreement was made and
the votes of the appellants given more than
five years before the indictment was found and
that the only act performed within five years Wa
the actual receipt OF the bribe. The action which
Is TO be influenced Is necessarily OF the future
The bribe by which the influence was to be ex-
erted may be paid I'm the present or In the future
and after the influence has been secured All OF
the various objections and exceptions to the ad
mission OF evidence urged by the appellants have
been considered but We think that of
them suggests any such substantial error or in
fringement of appellants rights as requires re-
Versal OF judgment.
