JAMES V. CUNNINGHAM
OF the firm of Ellingwood & Cunningham
who will be a witness

ested in the solution of the transit prob
lem here.
When the investigation is resumed
next Wednesday at II a. m. Goodsell
and Bedell will be recalled.
Eache Threatened with Arrest.
Monday at noon Is the time limit set
by District Attorney Whitman within
which Leopold S. Bache, head of the
firm of ]. S. Bache & Co, must produce
the books of the firm required by the
legislative committee.
IF Mr.. Bache has not brought the
books before the committee by that
time said Mr. Whitman last night, Il
will order his arrest for violation of Sec
ton / $50 of the penal law
The section referred to defines a. a
misdemeanor the refusal of any person
to produce upon reasonable notice any
material and proper books, papers or
documents in his possession or under his
control when directed to do so by a
legislative committee authorized to sum-
mon witnesses.
Although the case could be tried out in
a magistrates court. it is probable that
should Mr.. Bache persist in his refusal
to comply with the committees sub
puna the matter will be presented to
the grand jury and an indictment re-
ported
1T is not a question Of contempt, but
of violating a penal statute said Mr..
Whitman. Il think that Judge Bruce
is right in his contention and is en-
tireIy within the law. Objections as to
the materiality of evidence may be made
at the time that it is offered. But the
committee is entitled to the physical
possession of the books"
Mr. Bache's refusal is based upon his
claim that the subpoena is not sufff-
ciently specific, requiring the production
of ''Iedgers of the firm covering trans
actions from January !, 1899, 20 date,
and such other documents or papers as
may be required in the investigation"
The ultimatum was sent to Woilman
& Wollman, of No. 20 Broad street,
counsel for Mr.. BaChe, late yesterday
afternoon by District Attorney Whit
man. after he had conferred with NJ
Linn Bruce and Isidor Kresel counsel
for the committee, and with Edward 5.
Seidman of the law firm.
Later in the day the firm gave out a
statement in which its members eN-
pressed the belief that there is not the
slightest chance Of the subpoena being
sustained by the courts" At the same
time they said they We're ready to pro-
duce any specific accounts If ordered to

UPSTATE SHY OF GAyN0R
Democratic Leaders Dissatisfied
Want Definite Statement.
STRIVE TO PENETRATE HAZE
Havens's Support Undecided on
Second Place Sentiment
of Mayors Boomers.

Some of the upstate Democratic leaders
before going back TO their districts after
the harmon conference of Thursday
expressed themselves yesterday as being
somewhat dissatisfied with the way in
which the friends of Mayor Gaynor were
acting in regard to the latter's boom for
the governorship nomination. They appre-
ciate the sentiment throughout the state
that would make the Mayor the strongest
candidate that could be named, but they
believe that the Mayor should give som"
sort of intimation that he would accept the
nomination If il was rendered to him.
The upstate leaders declared that for two
days they had been trying to find out just
what the attitude of the Mayor was or
might be- but without success. Friends of
the Mayor have declared in a somewhat
hazy way that they are sure the Mayor
would run for Governor II the nomination
could be assured to him in a practically
unanimous manner. But when 1t came to
any direct statement these friends would
not give il.
In the face of the uncertainty regarding
the Willingness of the Mayor to relinqufsh
his duties as chief executive of this city
in order to become the standard bearer OF
the state organization, the booms Of other
candidates grew in strength. Friends or
Congressman James S. Havens said they
would not he willing to cease their acttvi-
ties in his behalf unless they could have
some definite assurance that there was an
overwhelming sentiment for the nomination
of Mayor Gaynor and that he would yield
to such sentiment.

GOODSELL MADE $4,000
Continued from first page.

S64 IS, and closed the account. The
only stock deal after that was the pur-
chase on July 4, 1904. of four hundred
shares of Union Pacific for So66oo and
one hundred shares for S9O62 Do On
July IS he sold the Union Pacific for
S4S5 562 50-the entire transaction having
been conducted without margin-and
drew out his profit, s., SO 46, closing his
account a month later.
After Judge Bruce had established
these facts he called Goodsell to the
stand Goodsell came-a stocky, grlZZled
man, with the profile of hawk and few
words a shake OF the head or an eX-
pressive wave of an active left hand
served for whole phrases He told
briefly of his legislative experience and
admitted that he had known Tracy Rog-
ers well for many years. Then Judge
Bruce asked him If he cared to explain
to the committee the account he had
maintained with Ellingwood & Cunning
ham.
I've no explanation to- make he
murmured "I'Il answer any questions
to the best of my ability" He didn't
say anything about campaign contribu-
tions, as did Beden the day before.
Judge Bruce wanted to know first if
Tracy Rogers had introduced GoodseI to
FIlingwo0d & Cunningham. GoodseIl
cn11ldn't remember it; he thought some
legislator had The more Judge Bruce
asked about Rogers the surer GoodseIl
was that he didn't open his account
through Rogers, even when Judge Bruce
said that the customers book OF the
firm said he had been introduced there
by Rogers.
Goodseu also couldn't remember just
how he came to open his account with
ont margin. He knew it was opened
after adjournment Of the Legislature
because he told Mr.. Cunningham he
didn't want to buy until the Legislature
quit work He remembered the f1fth
avenue stage bill when Judge Bruce
asked him about it. He got it from Sen
ator Coggeshall, he said. He didn't
know where Coggeshall got it. or why
he didn't introduce it himself. 1t was
quite customary for one Senator to in
troduce bills for another, he said
He didn't know just why CoggeshaA'
an upstate Senator, should have taken
such an interest in New York City
transit bill. He himself, he said, knew
what the bill did, and that it applied
only to New York, yet he didn't consider
it improper for him, an upstate man, to
handle it. Nobody ever spoke to him
about it. and he didn't think much
about il.

Persons interested in ChiIdren'S
Court Find Judges Rotating.
SAY 1T VO|DS LAWS INTENT
Point Out Suggestions of Page
Investigating Committee for
Longer Assignments.

Many persons interested in the reform OF
the inferior courts have expressed regret
recently on account of the assignment OF
the justices of Special Sessions to the Chill
dren's Court for short terms. They assert
that longer periods appear to he the intent
of the law passed subsequent to the inves-
tigation of the inferior courts by the Page
legislative commission. The commission
suggested in its final report that the old
order of things where the justices were
assigned to sit in the Children's Court for
only one or two months at a time, did not
allow them to exercise a proper supervision
over the young offenders and follow the
case of a child from the beginning until its
final disposition, should be done. A re
form in this respect was recommended and
incorporated in the new law governing
these courts.

Say Old System Continues.

In the Manhattan courts, Isaac Franklin
Russell, who was appointed chief justice
of the reorganiZed Court of Special SeS-
sions by Mayor Gaynor has evidently dis
regarded the intent of the law, in the opin-
ion of those who have followed the de-
Velopment of the new regime, by continu-
ing the system of monthly rotation and
assigning six different judges to the Chill
dren's Court within a total period of a
year. Such a system of short terms is
generally recognized as hamperins the eff
fective administration of these courts, and
is exceptional in Juvenile court practice
a child on probation, ii is argued, should
as a general rule be kept under observa-
ton for several months The old system,
whereby justices sat III the Children's
Court for month or two, was charac-
terized by the Page commission as "a rad
icaI defect which needs remedying."
An extract from the final report of the
Page commission in regard to this matter
reads:
1t has been urged that the judge of the
Chlldren'S Court should devote all his time
TO that work and that limited number of
court, would more efficiently carry on this
important work.
The commission is in entire sympathy
with the proposition that the ChildTenS $
Court requires something more than brief

Havens for Second Place.

Those who have been quietly fostering
the Gaynor boom-and those who have been
most active in 1t have done so apparently
without any authority from hfm-tried to
get the friends of Mr.. Havens to say yes
terday that he would accept the nomination
for Lieutenant Governor on a ticket with
Mayor Gaynor- To this proposition the
HavenS men would give no definite answer
There was an interesting story in Circu-
lation Yesterday that the men who Will con-
troll the Rochester convention had fixed it
all up to nominate Mayor Gaynor, with the
understanding that he could later with
draw and the committee on vacancies
would fill his place with Mr. Havens or
Edward NJ Shepard. The leaders who were
asked about the story expressed surprise
and declared that such thing could not
be thought Of.
That might be well enough for Mayor
Gaynor. 1t would give him much prestige
But how about the man selected to take
the place of the regular nominee at the
eleventh hour? I doubt very much whether
either Mr.. Havens or Mr.. Shepard would
care to accept the head OF the ticket under
such circumstances" said one man
Certain radicals In the organization seemed
to be much perturbed yesterday over what
thev declared was a plan on the part Of
certain interests to secure the nomination
of Mr. Shepard.
He is altogether too close to corporate
interests was the way one of them put it
Il have reasons to believe that certain
members of the Democratic League conH-
IDENTIFY expect to secure his nomination,
however. If they do you can rely on IL
there will be a third ticket. l would head II

Judges Should Follow Gases

The judge sitting at the Children's Court
should, so far as practicable, follow the
case of a child from the beginning until its
final disposition. Under the present system
the justices in the 1st Division sit for q
term Of one month only twice each year.
and in the ID Division for d term Of
two months only once in each year, unless
by voluntary arrangement they exchange
their assignments.
This is a radical defect which needs rem
edying; for the commission is of the opinion
that 1t is vital TO the successful admlnlStTa-
ton Of this work that the justice before
whom the child Is originally brought shall
follow the course Of that child through all
the stages. which end either in permitting
the child finally to 20 at large or in com
mitting the child to a reformatOTy institu-
ton. The justice before whom the child
originally comes is familiar with the details
of the case, has presumably caused to be
investigated every fact or circumstance
throwing light upon the childS conduct
history and surroundings, has formed his
own eflimate Of the child and his theory
Of what can be done with it. and he should
follow that case in every judicial detail TO
completion.
our observation has shown us that there
are certain Of the justices Of the two dI-
visions of this court who are peculiarly
adapted for the work of childrens courts.
which are so necessary TO successful ac-
complishment, and VINO would be glad to
devote themselves for long periods of time
to this particular branch or work on the
other hand, other justices, fully as capable
in other directions, are not by tempera-
ment fitted to deal so we'll with the chill
Gren.
New-York tribune., 1910-09-10
Needs Knowledge of Institutions.

More than this, a justice passing. on the
cases of children should fully acqualnt hlln-
self with the character and conditions OF
the institutions TO which he must commit
these children. He must be so fully IN
formed that he knows exactly what he IS
doing in each case.
There should he a directory provision
that in the assignment of a justice TO SIT
at the ChildrenS Court consideration be
had as to the fitness Of the justice and the
permanenCy Of the assignment, and the IN
fention of the Legislature should be made
clear that 50 far as practicable the justice
assigned to the Childrens Court should
devote his sole attention TO that work.
According to a discussion of this subject
in a recent number of The Survey" the
spirit Of the new law has also been broken
in the appointment of Joseph A. GraVeur
as chief probation officer of the organized
Court of Special Sessions, which includes
the four chiIdren's courts. The law spect-
fes that no police officer shall be desig-
mated or act as probation officer" and IT
appears that Mr.. Graveir had served for
ten years as a probation officer in the old
court and resigned from the police force
only a few days before his appointment
