''Court's Conscience Shocked"
by the Price for Services in
Condemnation Case.

Supreme Court Justice Tompkins, at
White Plains. to-day handed down a
decision in which he says "the conscience
OF the Court IL shocked" by the fee OF
Sl53,Ooo asked by New York lawyer as
counsel for property-owner In Manhat-
tan who received an award Of damages
to property by reason OF the change OF
grade. In his decision he cuts the fee to
$1,000 and writes a long opinion on the
matter.
Joseph A. Flannery, a New York law
yer, made a contract with the Gas En-
gine and Power Company and Charles
L. Seabury & Co., Consolidated, by
which he was to have 80 per cent. oil
the award to be made to that company
for damages to Its property at Morris
Heights BY reason Of change OF grade
of a certain street In New York City
The award made was saO6,O0O.
There were FIVE hearings and about
one hundred pages Of testimony wat
taken, and Flannery's fees, according
to this agreement, would be sl53,00o.
This action was brought by Daniel r
Mccoy, a stockholder OF the Gas Engin,
and Power Company, to set aside the
contract on the ground that II was
illegal and unconstitutional and to
have the attorneys fees fixed. The case
was tried before Judge Tompkins at
White Plains, and in setting aside the
contract the Judge says among other
things:
There was nothing extraordinary
about the case or the services rendered
by the attorney, and charge for sucl
services OF sl5S,OC0 shocks the conscience

and again In 1896. and was a member Of
the State Senate from 1883 to 1885. Mr..

FIVE MEN CHIP IN

Wall Street MillionaireS to Pay

NAMES KEPT SECRET.

All spare time In Wall street to-day
was taken up with discussion OF the
announcement that five millionaIres of
that section have put $500 apiece into
fund to pay part OF the expenses OF
the Roosevelt expedition to Africa. or
course no part of this will go toward
Roosevelt and his son.
The President plans to pay his own
expenses and clear the outlay by the
sale OF magazine articles. But the cost
OF the Smithsonian Institute end OF the
adventure must be settled, and tho d.
rector is said to have made a personal
appeal to at least six Wall street men
TO put up 5000 apiece so that the IN
stItute may bc enriched by the iiora
and fauna which Mr.. Roosevelts party
will gather. one OF the men approached
Is said to have refused to contribute,
or course, the chief interest centres
about the Identity Of the men who sep
arated themselves from $500 apiece In
order that Mi. Roosevelt may have SCI
entihc company. Nobody doubts that
one Of the five WAS j. Plerpont Morgan,
who frequently contributes from his
vast store of wealth to scientific objects,
Charles NJ. Schwab Is believed to be
another. Mr.. Schwab has grubstaked
many an ambitious explorer. Many be-
lieve that Judge Moore, Of the Bock ISL
and Railroad, put In 5000 He has been
most generous In financing exploration

| As for the nth man he Is generally
considered to be none other than F.. II

man and Mr. Roosevelt are on ba,
terms would not in any way deter thc
Wall street wizard from helping tn,
scheme along, his friends say. II,
might be inspired by the desire to hear
Goals Of fire on the Roosevelt head
or. he might be willing to help alon,
any project which would take Mr.
Roosevelt into the wilds OF Africa 10
