fBy Telegraph 70 The Tribune.


Albany, JAM 1s-According to Assembly
man Walters, of Syracuse. one of the mem-
bers of the legislative committee ap-
pointed last year to investigate the ad-
visibility of bringing the telephone and
telegraph companies under the supervision
of the Public Service commissions. the
committee has hardly got. we'll into its
work, although it has held twenty hearings
in different parts OF the state. 1t will re-
sumo its hearings tomorrow at O'Clock
at the City Hall, New York. 1t is the in
tention to subpoena Clarence II. Mackay,
head of the Postal-Telegraph company. 10

The committee has spent considerable
time and effort investigating the relations
between the Bell and independent telephone
systems and has made it practice TO
request any persons who have complaints
against either telephone or telegraph COM
panies to appear before 1t and offer any
suggestions they may have.
1--WE have received few complaints from
people in the upstate cities where we held
hearings" said member of the commit
tee, land the complaints in New York City
were mostly because of high rates rather
than poor service"
He said he could not tell yet whether the
big comapiues rule were against state
regulation, but he did know that the prin-
clpal objection to it was made by the CO.
operative low tension telephone lines There
are about eight hundred of these companies
in the state made up of farmers and people
IN rural districts who club together to en-
Joy the advantages of the telephone. 1t ia
said by members OF the committee that
these companies object TO having forced on
them the extra expense of preparing the
minute reports called for by the Public Ser
vice Commission.

/ am greatly surprised that any of them
betrayed that confidence

4 di1 eiedtl9 SuTpF1SpU tDdt any vi eicih
betrayed that confidence.
THE stories which were in circula-
ton in Albany concerning our caucus
were all sarbled and exaggerated, and
made public my side of the case to-day
for the purpose of preventing publica-
ticn of misstatements. Nothing can be
gained, from our point of view, by max
ing public the accusations. Senator
Aids is the temporary President of the
Senate, and whatever backfire there is
to it will undoubtedly reflect on that.
One might safely predict that it will put
an end TO my political career"
Naturally the entire affair has created
sensation here, not so much by reason
Of the charge and denial itself as by
reason of the publicity now given to it.
There has been gossip about it hereto
fore. but What has gone the rounds that
way has been considered to be merely
garbled assertion of one man. against
which was placed the word Of another
man as well known. the two being dia-
metrically opposed. This report has been
commonly accepted as the reason for
which Senators Hinman, Bracket,
Cords, Conger. Newcomb, Agnew. Rose
and Davenport stayed out Of the Repub-
ican Senate caucus, the rumor being
that Conger told this story to some or all
Of these Senators.
The general belief, also, is that some
inkling of this report got to William
Barnes, jr., and Representative j. Sloat
Fassett, and the mere existence of the
report itself formed the basis for their
opposition to Mr.. Aids as temporary
president of the Senate, though State
Chairman Woodruff and other organiza-
ton leaders supported him.
Senator's Bracket and Hinman were
not here to-day. Senators Newcomb,
Rose, Davenport and the others refused
TO say anything about the matter for
publication, though informally there is
the most animated discussion of the af-
fair everywhere. Everybody is wait
ing the Senate session tomorrow with
i'll concealed impatience, for the belief
is general that Senator Conger will be
forced to tell all he knows when Senator
Aids follows his announced intention Of
bringing up the publication on a ques-
ton of personal privilege and demanding
an investigation at once
