tually considers that 1t saved his life

HUNT FOR BRITTON.
Fears That Banker Has Fled
to Escape Prison.

Whether Colonel Edward E Britton. the
Brooklyn banker who was sentenced 20
Sing Sing prison for misrepresentation OF
funds, is a fugitive or away from the city
simply on business trip became yesterday
a question for the authorities.
Early last evening District Attorney
Clarke of Kings County who has had de-
tectives on his trail for two days. Informed
John L. Hill. Colonel Brltton's attorney.
that unless his client appeared in the Dis
trict Attorneys office this morning his bail
of 5000 would be forfeited and he would
be proclaimed a fugitive from Justice
Mr.. Hill said last night that he would
rot vouch for Colonel Britton's appearance
to-day and was inclined to believe that he
would fail to be there. up 10 O'Clock to-
night I had every reason to believe that
my client was acting in good faith with me
and the District Attorney" the lawyer said
But developments since that time he
continued, have caused me to change my
mind. This is due partly to Mr.. Clarke's
order and to some extent to the belief that
the detectives have found some things of
which l knew nothing"
District Attorney Clarke doubled his cf-
forts last night to find the missing banker
Preparations were made to apply for ex-
tradition papers should the banker be found
outside the state.

These improvements are absolutely nee

The expansion of traffic during the last

anything lii the company's history The

the first threequarters Of 1907, Just before

IT was explained yesterday that it had

of the firm belief that the decision would

deathblow 10 whatever case the govern

TREASURY WITH HIN

Officials Say He Is Fighting
Intrenched Fraud.
rFeom Tie tribune bureau


washington, Oct. 2s-Officials of the
Treasury Department do not hesitate to
express their regret that Judge Holt, of
the United States Circuit Court. found
It necessary to criticise the action Of
Collector Loeb of the Port of New York
for retaining in the service the weighers
who recently confessed to participation
IL customs frauds.
The Treasusy Department has known
from the beginning Mr.. Loeb's plan for
a thorough house cleaning and has ap-
proved his course. 1t is believed at the
department that he is getting at the
frauds in the only way possible to reach
them. and that he should be applauded
for his good work.
The officials here say that Mr.. Loeb
has taken on his shoulders a task
which has scared other men. that lie is
sticking 10 il. and is getting results.
high official of the Treasury Depart
ment said tonight that Mr.. Loeb was
fighting to break down an intrenched
system. and that he was absolutely justi
fed in promising immunity to certain
men. provided they would come forward
and furnish testimony which would re-
suit in the conviction of those who have
made it practice to rob the govern
ment.

METZ MAY VOTE AYE
Objections Rem0Ued, He Fd-
Uors Fourth 4Uenue Sub1oay.

Deputy Controller McCooey. candidate for
President of the Borough of Brooklyn on
the Democratic ticket may not be allowed
after all to shine as the latest foster father
of the Fourth avenue subway On Monday
the Controller said he would step down
and allow Mr.. McCooey to introduce a reso-
luton for the immediate letting of the
contract. That would have helped Mr.. Nc
Cooey some in Brooklyn Now 1t is diff
ferent The Controller himself is likely to
offer the resolution.
Both the Mayor and Controller we're OPP
posed to the subway as long as the debt
limit remained unsettled. They opposed IT,
further, because in Brooklyn contiguous
property owners have certain rights IN
the streets which other citizens have
not, from which they cannot be divorced
by statute These rights, or easements.
are conveyed from one holder to another
In deeds. and form the bases for damage
suits in many instances.
All along Joralemon street, under which
the present tube to Brooklyn runs, owners
brought suit against the city and secured
heavy damages. 1t was a matter of specu-
lation on the part of the Controller as to
whether $15.OOO.OOO or S25.OO0.OOO would be re-
covered in the case OF the Fourth avenue
subway by owners along that route.
Corporation Counsel Pendleton has in
formed the Mayor. in response to re-
quest for an opinion, that these easement
rights may be condemned. as is real es
tate. a commission being appointed as soon
as the contracts are certified by the Con-
troller The city will thus avoid damage
claims for obstruction and interference"
covering long periods.
"All the objections seem to have been
removed" said the Mayor yesterday, land
there seems to be no reason, why the
Fourth avenue subway should not be put
through"
The Controller said he might vote for the
subway himself.
''Will you be present at the board meet
ing tomorrow, then?" he was asked
Il certainly expect to be-" was his reply
II have always been in favor of subway
construction; but. suppose we had gone
ahead while matterst were in a chaotic
state as TO the debt limit. and the courts
had ruled subsequently that the city was In
bankruptcy in consequence. 1t is not the
part of good business to go ahead with
anything until you feel certain that YOU
can afford to do it. One may occasionally
lose little time by sticking to hard facts,
but in the long run It pays"
Speaking of the opinion of Mr.. Pendleton
with regard to easements, the Controller
said:
My last objection has been removed"
