trial to-day, James ". Osborne continued
the cross-examination Of the accused SEN
ator. Mr.. Osborne may finish with him
tomorrow.
Referring to Aids bank accounts to-
day. Mr.. Osborne questioned the senator
regarding a 5000 cash transaction ten
days after the legislature adjourned on
April q, the DAY Aids Is alleged TO have
taken the Conger $1,000 bride. but Senator
Aids told Mr.. Osborne he had no present
recollection regarding the matter.
Mr. Osborne stated that he had no
specific knowledge regarding this g. 200.
except that it did not properly appear in
any OF Aids bank AnoOuntA In Aids
testimony IL was brought out that in May,
1901. Aids deposited $1,000 with Colgate
& Co. New York stock brokers' Debit
entry on his Albany Savings Bank &C
count on about that date accounted for
1900 of this, Senator Aids said that his
impression was that he had sold invest
ment securities for his mother and aunt
and that ia where the other S2.000 came
from.
Deposits Are Scattered.
There were cash deposits In Aids Al
bany bank and in the Lincoln National
Bank OF New York in May, 1901. one OF
5000 and another OF 81, 200 which Mr., 0s-
borne questioned apparently because they
were in cash, and because the transac-
tons took place shortly after the legis-
lature adjourned
There were one or two other instances
of cash deposits by Aids Of S1.000 OF
5000, which Mr.. Osborne tnsinuated
were made shortly after different legis-
latures adjourned, but Aids in each in
stance declared he had no recollection
OF them. or that they represented clients
money IN various law suits or legal fees,
ExtOrtfOnate Land Prices.
The other feature OF Osborne's cross
examination to-day was his questioning
OF Aids regarding his services for the
State IN searching titles for Adirondack
lands while he was a member OF the
legislature, and Senator Aids eonnec-
ton with George NJ Ostrander, Of AL
bany; George Finch. and George F. IN

TO get Mr.. Aids to admit that he knew
these men purchased thousands OF acres
of Adirondack lands at State tax sales
at from 40 to 90 cents an acre and sold
the land back to the State for $ ana Sc
an acre. It was Senator Aids business
TO search the titles Of these lands after
the State forest preserve board had de-
cided TO purchase them. and Mr. Os-
borne made the point that in searching
these titles Senator Aids should have
learned that the state was being imposed
upon in purchasing ar exorbitant prices

ROOT AND LEADERS
ARE WE'LL IN TOUCH
WITH ALBANY AFFAIRS

The long-distance telephone wires be-
tween Washington and Albany were kept
very busy yesterday afternoon and last
night Senator Root and other mem
bers OF the Republican delegation IN
Congress were keeping in close touch
with Developments at the New York
State capital and were making every
effort TO put through the first step of
the proposed plan for the reorganization
of the party IN New York State
Word came TO the New York delega-
ton in the course OF the afternoon that
Harvey D. Hinman. the Hughes senator
who was urged upon the caucus by
Senator Root, needed only one or two
votes to insure his selection. Upon the
receipt OF this message the Federal group
increased their efforts.
Leaders in Conference.
Senator Root held conferences with
Representative Dwight, Vice President
Sherman, and several other New York
State Republicans. Tho Vice President
late in the afternoon called at the White
House. and 30 also did Representative
Simmons. Of Niagara Falls.
It was the intention of Senator Root
and his supporters here to have the Al
bany caucus postponed again for a num-
Der OF days. In this way they hoped that
the Republicans OF New York state would
have an opportunity to think seriously
over the situation
The fight which Senator Root IS maxi
ing upon the Woodruff Barnes oombina-
ton goes beyond the mere naming Of a
successor OF Aids as president pro tenn
OF the senate The question of Aids
SUCCESSOR was only one IN a general pro-
gramme OF reorganization.
Senator Root and his supporters IN
washington are looking ahead to the use
Of GOV. Hughes as an asset in the cleo
ton next fall Without him, they are
certain that the Republicans in New
York win 90 down 20 defeat It was
learned that Gov. Hughes has already
slgnifed his willingness to enter the
aeld next fall
Holds Whip Hand.
The governor holds the whip hand at
present The Federal group aeknowI-
edges this, and they are merely trying
10 bring the leaders at Albany to their
senses
No matter how the fight over Aids
successor turns out. It can be said that
the efforts of Senator Root and those
who are behind him will not end short
ef a complete reorganization OF the party
machine. If Mr. Woodruff persists in
his effort to oppose Gov. Hughes, It is
likely that meeting Of the State com
mittee viii be called.
II is understood that Senator Root
wiz meet Mr. Woodruff in New York
city on next Sunday. II he refuses 10
step out. the fight viii probably be be-

Therefore, from my familiarity with the franchise under which the sever company is operating its sewer system in Phoenix, and my examination of the law, there is no question in my mind whatsoever, but what the city has the absolute, unhampered, legal right to construct it's own, inde- pendent sewer system in Phoenix and operate same for the benefit of it's citizens, and maintaining the cost of operating by taxation on all property within it's limits and I doubt whether there is any question in the mind of anyone who has taken the pains to carefully read the terms of the fran chise under which the sewer company is operating its sewer system in Phoe- nix as to the legal right of the city to construct and operate it's own sever system in our city. There need be no fear that any respectable court will grant an injunction to restrain the city from selling its bonds for the construction of the sewer system or interfere with it in the construction of such system.

Right of City to Establish
 Competitive System LETTER BY CAPT. ALEXANDER
Under Terms of Franchise With Which He is Fa- miliar, There Can Be No Interference With Plans to Secure System

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 l was surprised to see in The Re publican of yesterday an article pur- porting to question the right of the city 10 construct an independent sewer system for Phoenix, for the reason that it would be violative of the rights of the Phoenix Sewer and Drainage company which, at present, is Oper- auing a sewer system in small DOT ti0n of Phoenix under a franchise frOr1 the city. The surprise v,ls the more heCn when it is remembered that The Republican was one of the first lir- nals m Phoenix to advocate and urge the people, in a most intelligent man ner, to construct a sewer system for the whole city, regardless of the pres ent limited system now in operation in the city. and which advocacy vas earnestly and ably seconded by the other newspapers of our city, and brought about the recent voting of sufficient bonds by the citizens of PhoeniXr fo the construction of an in dependent sewer system to be owned by the city that will furnish the whole city with adequate sewerage facili- ties

chises. or privileges. in which the gov
 ernment or public have an interest. is
 that only that which is granted in
 clear and explicit terms passes by
 such grant of property. franchise,
 or privilege, and that grants of that | character are to be strictly construed
 in favor of the public. and that what
 ever is not unequivocally granted. is
 withheld and nothing passes by inn
 plication. Therefore, it follows as a
 corollary that in the absence of a spe-
 cial stipulation in the franchise under
 which the Phoenix Sewer and Drain ! age company is operating it's sewer | system in Phoenix, to the effect that
 the city of Phoenix will refrain from
 erecting and operating a system of its
 own during the life of the franchise
 it did not preclude itself from estab- | fishing its own, independent system of
 sewers
 Since the decision of the Walla Walla case, was rendered by the Unit ed States supreme court, which is re- ported in the 172 U. s. Reports at page l, the same court has had occasion to pass upon a number of cases involving
 water works and lighting plants under different forms, and that court has consistently held that, in the absence
 of a special stipulation to the effect
 that municipal corporations granting
 a franchise or privilege to an individ-
 ual or corporation for the erection of a
 water works or lighting plant. it will not preclude itself from establishing it's own, independent system for such public utilities during the life of such franchise or privilege; and our own supreme court, in case of the Phoenix Water company vs. the City of PhOe nix. held to the same effect. That case is fresh in our memory. It involved the construction of the franchise granted by the city of Phoenix to J. J. l Gardiner for the erection of the water | works in the city afterwards assigned ! to the Phoenix Water company, and ] while the Phoenix Water company was | operating it's water works under said | franchise the citizens of Phoenix vot- | ed an issue of s3OO,OOO of bonds to | erect an independent. municipal water | works plant, which the Phoenix Water | company attempted t9 enjoin from be- Ing SOIu on tne same ground that the | Phoenix Sewer and Drainage company is threatening to enjoin the sale of the ! sewer bonds recently voted, under a franchise similarly worded as the franchise under which the sewer com pany is operating. Our supreme court denied the injunction prayed for by the Phoenix Water company and dis missed the case. saying: There can not be any implied contract in the grant of franchise by municipality that it will do nothing to impair or de- stroy the value thereof. or that it will not enter into competition with he grantee. Such a restraint can be inn posed only by express provision. It would be a work of supererogation to refterate the reasons founded on pub lie policy which have led courts to lay down these principles"

case of the city of Walla Walla vs. the
 Walla Walla Water company. which | arose in the state of Washington, and
 was decided in Tavor Of the water
 company in the supreme court of the l United States, at the October term, ! 1898, of said court, is cited to sustain
 the position and contention of the | Phoenix Sewer company that because i the city granted their predecessors a i franchise to construct the present i sever system and to operate the same for the term of 50 years in the city of Phoenix, the city cannot, during that l'term, construct and operate an inde- i pendent sewer system of its own for 1 the benefit of its citizens and that to permit the city so to do would i'm l pair the obligations of its contract
 with the company embodied in said I franchise, as the operations of an in dependent sewer system by the city, the cost of which will have to be met by taxation upon all property in the city, would cause all those who now use the present sewer system and pay the company for the use of the same to connect with the citys system and cease the use of the companys sys
 tenn. and there by render their system
 unproductive and valueless. The facts
 in the Walla Walla case referred to
 are not parallel with the facts which
 exist with respect in the Phoenix Sev;-
 CT companys case. In the Walla Walla
 case the city of Walla Walla gave the
 Walla Walla Water company a fran
 chise for the term of 25 years to con
 struct and operate water works in the
 city of Walla Walla, Washington, and
 in the same franchise the city of Walla
 Walla stipulated and agreed that the
 city would not erect water works of
 its own during the life ,of the fran
 chise. Under that state of facts. the supreme court of the United States held that the city was authorized to enter into such stipulation with the water company, which was binding on the city and therefore the court sus- stained an injunction against the city to restrain it from issuing bonds to construct and operate water works of it's own to be operated in competition with the water company's system, as to have permitted the city so to do | would have resulted in the impairment of the obligations of the contract be- tween the city and the water company, | and embodied in the franchise to the | company that the city would not erect | a water works of its own during the | life of the franchise, which contracts | are protected by the constitution of | the United States.
 However there is no such stipuIa- | ton in the franchise under which the | Phoenix Sewer and Drainage company | is operating its sewer system in Phoe- nix, as there was in the franchise to the Walla Walla Water company, but | the. fact is that the franchise to the i sewer company is silent in that regard |

ed its money in good faith for the bet
 terment or advancement of our city,
 and especially that invested in the
 construction of public utilities which go to the building of our city. and
 rather see the city take over such pub
 lie utilities when it becomes necessary ! that the same should be managed and 1 operated by the city itself. than to have them destroyed by municipal
 competition, if competition would have
 that effect, yet, l do not consider 1t
 fair to the people that, in order to obviate such anticipated results. the
 tax payers should be required to pay double the sum that such utilities cost or can be replaced for, neither do l | believe that the people should be com ] pelled to buy such utilities merely to avoid such results, when the same will
 be of no benefit to the people and can not be used or worked in harmony with the future plans of the city.
 Admitting that the present sewer system now being operated by the Phoenix Sewer and Drainage company is first class from the viewpoint of construction, nevertheless, everyone
 knows that this system is not an ade
 quate one to afford deep drainage and
 cannot be altered without an entire re-
 construction of the whole system to
 bring about that result, and inasmuch
 as the sewer system plan which the
 city intends to inaugurate for the
 whole city and for which bonds were
 recently voted to construct, is design
 ed to provide deep drainage and ac- commodate existing basements and such as may hereafter be constructed
 in the business portion of the city, it
 is quite clear that the present sewer system, which covers but 16O acres of the present city area of some 2000 acres, on account of its shallowness under the surface of the ground, can not be worked in harmony with the proposed deep system which the city has planned to construct and there fore, it would not be good business sense to buy it, as it could not be used with advantage to the property which i it now covers, as an independent sys- tenn nor in connection with the pro posed system to be installed by the | city
 As to the right of the city to con Struct sewer system of Its own for | the residents of the city, irrespective ! of of the present system, there Is no | question but what the city has the le- | gal right to so do. There is not a word | or a sentence in the franchise under | which the sewer company constructed | and is operating its sewer system in | Phoenix that can be construed to mean | that the city of Phoenix agreed to re- frain from constructing a sewer sys- tenn for the city of its own, or not to with the system constructed i under said franchise during the life of the same; hence, the city is at liberty to construct and operate a sewer sys- tenn of its own whenever it deems it advisable, and as to its advisability. the city is the sole judge

FATHER OF TOBACCO SMOKING

It is quite hopeless to trace out the fathers of smoking in general, and to-
 baccO smoking in particular. Who first drew in smoke of any kind through q pipe in England and who first of our countrymen took to tobacco will all ways remain disputable. It is equally uncertain which western tribe made

NO CAUSE FOR SURPRISE.

Colonel Roosevelt's refusal to call
upon the Pope, or the Pope's refusal
10 receive the colonel-you can put II
either way YOU like-has been made
the occasion of lot OF unnecessary
fuss. The thing was to be expected
and ought not to have surprised any
one. The Pope cannot be blamed, Tor
IL is his privilege to see or refuse to
see whom he chooses. Colonel Roose-
welt Is not to be blamed Tor
exercising his right TO withdraw MS
request for an audience at the vatican
when he found that the audience was
TO be granted upon conditions 10
which he did not desire to consent,
and IL public opinion censures him at
all IL must be only for giving undue
publicity to the affair.
After the Fairbanks incident, Meth
err Colonel Roosevelt nor the Amer'-
can public hat reason to believe that
an audience at the vatican would
be granted the ex-Prcsjjent except
under the conditions 20 which Mr..
Fairbanks objected. If the Pope would
not see MIR Fairbanks unless the lat
ter agreed not TO address the Metho-
dist IN Rome-the Methodists In
Rome and the Holy Sec ben at war
why should anybody suppose that a
few months later he would receive a
very much more importan; American
parsonage without making the same
requirement?
And who is there in the United
States who has heard so little about
Colonel Roosevelt as to suppose for
an instant that he would be less
prompt than Mr. Fairbanks in assert
ing his independence as an Ameri-
can citizen and refusing to do ant
thing that would infringe his personal
liberty and prevent him from address
ing whom he chose during his stay in
Rome?
Remembering the Fairbanks Incl
dent, no one ought to have expect
ed Colonel Roosevelt to see the Pope.
There would have been real cause for
surprise il the audience had taken
place.
