New York, Feb. 1O.-An unnamed New Jersey Senator was today men toned as the man who purchased stock in an independent telephone company in Huntington, West Vir- ginia, which stock found its way into the American Telephone & Telegraph Company. the alleged telephone trust.
 This came out during the testimony of w H. Remick, of R. l.. Day SS Company, brokers and bankers, who appeared before the committee taking testimony in the suit brought by the minority stockholders in Cleveland, O., to prevent delivery of independent telephone stock to J. P. Morgan & Company. on the alleged ground that the Morgan firm is buying this stock for the account of the American TeIe- phone & Telegraph Company.
 Remick's testimony contained many startling sta dement's, among them tnaL he bought more than S7,O0O,OOo worth of telephone stock without Knowing the financial value of the property he was buying or without even 1nqulrlng into earning powers of those compan- fes, and that later he sold the same stock to J. P. Morgan & Company, without furnishing Morean & Company with any such information.
 "I didn't think it necessary to make an inyestigation,' he said Remick testified that he had been summoned to the offices of Vice-President Hall of the American Telephone & Tele- graph Company in 1909 and was told that the American Telephone & Tele- graph wanted to buy independent tele- graph companies in Indiana and Ohio but doubted whether it could legally acquire the properties. Hall asked him If he would buy them and hold them, giving them an option on the proper ties. Renick agreed if he was prop srly safeguarded and entered into contract whereby he was to buy the property from F. H. Golf, of Cleveland and James S. Bradley. of Toledo. The American company was to furnish him the money to buy the properties and to guarantee him against any pe- cuniary loss The American Company furnished him with s7000.000 and he entered into contracts with Bradley and Golf to buy the stock without ever

FIGHT BETWEEN
 LIBERAL FACTIONS
 FOR SUPREMACY
Some Hot Ones Handed Out by Leaders Today at First Meeting of Cabinet Since Election.
Especial from United Press.)

(SDocl0I rom OnlEGO FGeSS.J
 London, Feb. Manifestations of a fight for supremacy between the more conservative faction of the Liberals, headed by Premier Asquith, and the Radical wing, aled by Chancellor of the Exchequer and David Lloyd-GeOrge and Winston Churchill, developed to- day at the first meeting of the cabinet since the recent election.
 The cabinet met to consider the per- sonr el of the new cabinet, in which it IS hinted there will be several new faces and to map out legislative pro- gram. No announcement has yet been made as to the deliberations but one who is in a position to know declared that Asquith and his followers indi- cated their intention to dictate the pol icy of the incoming administrat ton re- gardless of the demands of Lloyd George and his followers. who are claiming credit for the Liberal victory and are insisting on a more drastic executive program than favored by the premier.
 K Unless these two leaders can come to an understanding there is every prospect of a stormy and short-lived parliamentary session. So far the Radical faction has shown itself abso- lutely unyielding despite Asquith's s overtures.
 The biggest problem confronting the cabinet is to keep the coalition of the Liberals, Laborites and Irish Nation alists intact, or practically so, and it is understood that an official appeal will shortly be issued to guard against any reactionary movement in the ranks of the coalition

the open market as worth S4.- o00,O00. At least s3,O00,0o0 of this value is in Bridgeport. The assessment in Bridgeport for pur- poses of taxation is little more than $1,000,000. A tax at the rate of IT mills this year upon the addition of $2,000.o00 would produce $34,000 additional reve- nue for the city.
 Buc it is revenue that cannot be obtained while the existinx arrangement is kept alive by yearly renewals.
 The Council, filled with new men, long ago perceived the wlckedness of the 1awless effort of an earlier council to make a contract for 20 years. when 1t on- tirely lacked the power to do so.
 Three times, the Council, the direct representatives of the peo- pie, has come to the tax board. saying, Do not sanction this ef- fort to violate and outrage the law, by giving life to what can not have life, except upon your motion"
 Twice the Tax Board has re- fused the plea and renewed the bargain 50 advantageous to the water monopoly.
 The matter comes before the board again Friday night.
 At the earlier meeting the monopoly was defeated. Only six members were willing to make this appropriation.
 But two arguments were made that were at all worth consider ing, in support of the right of the monopoly to continue to mulct the city
 The first argument is that the city is under a moral obliga- ton to make gifts in the way of tax rebates and the like to the company.
 This is of course not true. The Council that made the 20 year arrangement, was the agent of the city, as the agent of the city 1t had lawful right to make A contract for no longer than one year.
 Its effort to make a contract for 20 years was lawless., Being an effort to outrage the law the arrangement has no standing in morals.
 The second argument offered by those who favored the monos poly is that the city may be in- volved in law suit if it does not continue the bargain.
 The views of the city attorney are otherwise. But what would these gentlemen do, if the mat ter were their own business.
 Here is a claim that the city is entitled to a supply of water free of charge.
 Under the bargain the city is paying $15,000 annually. In IT years these payments will run to S4O,OUU.
 The city is also paying in the form of tax rebates, upon the basis of $2.O00,OO0 under assess- ment of the property, ss4,o00 a year, which in IT years would be $57O,OO0.
 The total amount involved is $91S,O0O.
 What shall be thought of the man who, with almost a million at stake, still declares that the city must not try the issue, be- cause, forsooth, it will become involved in a law suit.
 Some of the very gentlemen who are now so tender upon the subject of law suits had no con- scientious scruples against going to the courts two years ago when the matter of policemen's pay was invoIved.

WHAT THE CITY ATTORNEY SAYS TO TAX BOARD ON
 PROPOSED WATER GRAB

The Tax Board will vote, to- morrow night, whether or not it will make an appropriation to renew the terms of the malodor- ous 20 year water arrangement for another year.
 The manner in which this ar rangement was made, in 1906, is still fresh in the minds of a ma jority of the people.
 Everybody long has known, thanks to the opinion of City Att torney Thomas M. Cullinan, rend- cred to the Common Council, Jan. 20, 1908. that the council has not the power tomake a con- tract for more than one year. It attempted, by a mere phrase, to make it appear that a contract for 20 years had been made, but such was not the fact.
 Every time the Board of Ap- portionment appropriates for a supply of water it renews the ar-
 
 all it's iniquitous conditions.
 But the City Attorney has said one, other thing, in connection with this bargain, which has been fastened upon the taxpayers from year to year. It is this.
 That the city, through the Board of Apportionment, may terminate the arrangement at the end of any year, and. says the city attorney: s- There would be no existing obligations between the parties. No right of action would lie against the city"
 The city attorney is legal ad- wiser to the Board of Apportion- ment, they have, and can have, under the charter no other.
 But this is not all that the city attorney has said to the Tax Board.
 He has also said: '"The charter of the company imposes upon it the duty of furnishing water at as cheap rate as any other city shall be supplied by individuals, or private corporations.
 ''If, continues the City Attor- ney, "other cities are receiving water service from private cor poration, at a cheaper rate than Bridgeport, or are receiving free water, then this cOntract places our city at the disadvantage of paying higher rate for water than 1t ought to-
 New Haven gets, of the New Haven Water Company, a supply of water for all municipal purposes without the payment of one cent. And this is perfectly we'll known to the Board of Ap- portionment.
 But the city attorney said something else to the Board of Apportionment. This:
 "I consider one of the most objectionable features of this contract to be the stipulation, contained in Sec. thereof, that the city shall pay, in addition to certain fixed sums for water used, an indefinite amount by way of rebate of taxes.
 The affect of this provision is to discourage the assessment of the company's property beyond the arbitrary valuation upon which it agrees to pay taxes, and in addition to the definite rates contracted for, the city pays an indefinite sum represented by loss of taxes"
 The city attorney enumerates other important objections to this arrangement with the water monopoly, which are perfectly we'll known to the members of the tax board

PRIEST WHO TOOK PART IN REVOLT
 RETURNS TO ROME
Polish Divine Was Pastor of Local Independent Church
 for Over a Year
Announcement of His AbandOnemnt of National Polish Church Comes from ManitOba-He Had Contemplated the Step Before Leaving Bridge port.

port.
 Something of sensation was creat- ed in Polish Catholic circles here to- day when news was received from Winnipeg, Manitoba, that the Rev. Anthony Plucinski, over year the head of the Polish National church in California street, this city, had abau- doned the National church to return to the fold of the Roman Catholic church.
 Father P1ucinski came to Bridge port two years ago and left here less than year ago. Before he went, he had sought advice from Rev. Father Baran, pastor of the Church of St. Michael the Archangel, Roman Cath ollie, relative to return to the CathO- lie church, but fearing that violence might attend such a movement in tbls city, ne deferred his public an- nouncement for another city.
 The establishment of the Bridge port branch of the Polish National church followed closely on the heels of an uprising over the removal of 9 Polish priest from this city, and few disgruntled parishioners of the church TOW presided over by Father Baran joined in the movement with others rot of Roman Catholic faith. The congregation now numbers about 40.
 In his public announcement, Father Plucinski says in part: tI have left the so-called independent church or National Polish church and have come back to the Roman Catholic church. I do not see anything in this church either for my people or for myself and this church is composed only from those indifferent to relig- ion.'
 He advises all his former parish toners in Winnipeg and elsewhere to follow in his footsteps. "I am sure," he continues, that the Holy Catholic church will receive them into her bosom with open arms as has always been the case and forgive them for any disobedience which they have shown towards her. I recommend myself to the prayers of all the faith full Catholics Father Plucinskis an- rouncement was made on Tuesday, and immediately thereafter he enter ed a retreat.
 Father Plucinski was formerly a. Roman Catholic priest. About l2 years ago he forsook the fold of Rome to enter an independent movement, and he has spent most of his time since among the coal mining regions of PennSylVania.
