Will See Roosevelt.

washington. Dec. Jack Abernathy,
United States marshal for Oklahoma, an
appointee of ex-President Roosevelt, came
to Washington to-day and handed his res
ignation to Attorney General Wickersham
Charges had been preferred against the
marshal but he did not wait to hear what
they were.
Alternately came East on a leave Of ab-
sence to answer charges against him and
called to see Attorney General Wickersham
There was a great crush of Congress call
ers, and the marshal was kept waiting oil
the morning.
After demanding several times to see the
Attorney General Abernathy got tired of
waiting, wrote out q resignation, presented
it to Frank. Cole. Mr.. Wickersham's pri-
vate secretary, and stalked out
Later the marshal announced he was
going to New York. where he would see
Theodore Roosevelt.
I've got business there, You understand"
he said. but, of course, I'll see the colonel.
1 didn't wait to see the charges against
me. but I've got an idea Of what they are,
and if such charges make me incompetent

Earlier in the day Alternately said:
I've hewed 10 the line and done my
duty as an officer, and, of course, I've made
enemies. I never said the colonel wouldn't
let them fire me. I'd die before I'd ask
him to use his influence. He's done a

COMMUTERS ASK QUESTIONS
E. D. Robbins Accounts for Rate
Increase on New Haven Road.

The commuters who use the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad hal
their innings yesterday at the hearing IL
fore the Public Service Commission of Tie
Second District, which was held in the
Metropolitan Fife Building.
r. d. Robbins, general counsel for the
New Haven road, said his road put up the
price of communication tickets because the
New Haven was forced TO pay the New
York Central Railroad II cents for every
passenger landed in the Grand Genital
Station. The New Haven paid 81, ,151.e 600 in
1910 for the use of the Grand Central and
the Mott Haven terminals, he said.
Mr. Robbins said by reason of the ad-
vanced rates for terminal facilities, his
road was losing money. and that the New
Haven's revenue was about IL cents mead
Septimus c. Fleetwood, of New Haven,
auditor of disbursements of the New Haven
road, read a statement in which he showed
the excess cost of electric over steam oper-
alton between the Grand Central Station
and Stamford. According to his fisut's
electric operation cost more than twice as
much as steam. These figures were hotly
protested by people living in Mount yer-
non and New Rochelle.
George l.. Carlisle, a lawyer representing
New Rochelle commuters, said the rates
on school tickets had been raised 120 per
cent. Mr.. Robbins answered that the roads
total revenue from school children
amounted to less than 5000 a year, and
that people wealthy enough TO send their
children to city schools could pay the in
crease without strain.
e. H. McHenry, second vice-president
of the New Haven, testified that his COM
pany only needed to electrify the line as
far as Woodlawn, but had done so as far
as Stamford. He also explained that the
New Haven was compelled to pay increased
rates to the Central because of the teW
and larger terminal facilities erected by
that road.

Saratoga Man on the Stand.

A Mel. EarIocker, OF the Saratoga
Racing Association, said when he took
the stand that he was assistant to all
the officers of that association" He
brought with him the books of the up-
state racing club, but they showed only
an S1S.544 disbursement for legal ex-
penses in 1908, as compared to q $1,000
legal expense account in 1907 and one
Of $500 in 1909. Besides there was an
item of S25,oto, which was charged up
in two entries Of S23, 600 and S2,00o. Mr..
Earlocker explained it was a settlement
with Andrew Miller for back salary due
him as treasurer OF the association.
The back salary entries We're on
September . and IA, 1908. and Mr.. Ear
locker explained that it would be a
long story TO tell how II came to be set
that Mr. Miller had always wanted
salary OF 5000 year. but the direc-
tors of the Saratoga association simply
would not give # to him. Finally, they
capitulated IN 1908 and agreed TO give
him 5000 q year, but Mr.. Miller then
declared that they really owed him back
salary since 1860 at that rate. More
than that, they owed him Sl0,Doo for or
ganization expenses incurred when he
assisted a in forming the Saratoga club.

claim, too. Mr.. Earloci1er explained.

Coming down to the rnoA active sea-
son of 1905, Judge Bruce wanted TO

IN racing matters. that had engaged

Did Not Bother with Details.
He was not following the matter close
ay enough TO know the details. Mr.. Bel
znont said, and Judge Coyne had not re-
ported TO him, nor to any committee OF
which he was a member
Judge Bruce then turned TO the ap-
t2arent change in method OF handling
legal expenses on racing matters Be
lsore 1908. according 80 the books Of the
Jockey Club. legal bills We're paid by
ssfle Jockey Club, and then apportioned

(which thereupon sent their checks 10

In that year, however, It appeared that
sfany of The racing associations con-
-tributed money to special funds. some
of which were handled much the same
as previous legal expense funds, except
that they were kept separate from the
Jockey Club funds.
Asked as TO the reason for this ap-
parent change In method, Mr.. Belmont
Faid that So far as he knew there had
been nc particular change.
Some one simply had 10 clear this
money. that's ALL" he said.

Patronage Report Erroneous.

Afr. Belmont went OH to say that when
was reported that there was considerable
patronage to be handled by its chairman.
and he thought that politics entered into
the makeup Of the commission at about
that time, though he said it was an
erroneous report that there was any con-
siderable amount Of patronage connected
with the commission.
Judge Bruce suggested that Davies.
Stone S Auerbach had appeared In suits
over wagers between layers" and play
ers,' but Mr.. Belmont explained the fact
that the Jockey Club paid them for even
such services by saying that it was the
duty Of the Jockey Club to preserve Or
der and fair dealing at the tracks on
which they conducted racing.
Coming down TO the publicity ac-
count" OF the Westchester Racing Asso-
ciation. the matter about which Mr.. Bel
mont became thoroughly angry little
later, Judge Bruce started in with the
payments to Maurice Minton. in which
il appeared that Minton had received
81, 800 in the first half of the year 1905
Mr.. Belmont couldn't recall details
but Minton, he said. did general pub
Iicity work. He never asked him for de-
tailed bills. he added Then he testi-
fed that the small payment to Amzi
Thornton was for missionary work with
elergymen.''
W. 3. Hunter, who received 81 800 in
three payments in May. 1908, Mr.. Bel
mont testified, had done q great amount
of work in connection with letter writ
ing The scheme was for Hunter to get
constituents to write their representa-
tives TO vote against the Agnew- Hart
bills. he said. and upward Of three hun
dred thousand letters were sent out, he
recalled.
Earlier in the afternoon Judge Bruce
had established by his examination of
John A. Coakley, the assistant treasurer
of the Westchester Racing Association.
that that organizations publicity ac-
count in 1905 was charged with the fol-
lowing sums:
New-York tribune., 1910-12-08

He testified that he could easily secure
from each racing association the amount
OF its legal expenses in 1908, and he was
dismissed to a later date, with instruc
tions to bring that information with him.
New-York tribune., 1910-12-08

BY the same witness 1t was disclosed
that the Westchester association had
spent SlS.o6e for legal expenses in 1907,
$40 ,33o5 in 1905 and nothing in 1909
The 1903 legal expense account con-
tanned one item of S5,T18 to Frank K.

in fact he didn't seem to get the coun-
sells question clearly.
"Oh, well, racing isn't business. you
know he commented, generally, "and
we conducted the business In a sort of
al informal way"
1T appears that in 1905 there was
change the Jockey Club didn't handle
the funds, and the racing associations
apparently acted separately" the counsel
insisted
'-Oh, no, not 2 change" said Mr.. Bel
mont. Judge Coyne represented u.s." he
added, as if by way of proving the point.
Reads Stureis's Testimony
Judge Bruce looked up the testimony
OF Frank K. Sturgis and read from the
record the treasurer's reply TO a ques-
ton similar to the one which he was
now putting TO Mr.. Belmont.
''Yes. Mr.. Belmont requested that the
different racing associations contribute
to a fund to be kept separate from the
Jockey Club fund. for future legal ex-
ienses," were the words OF AIr. Sturgis.
"oh. yes Mr.. Belmont said then. but
that was not the real reason. Before
that the bills were for services that had
been rendered. and then there were still
ntigations pending"
The counsel still seemed TO be unen-
lightened
'It WAS really DONE" Mr.. Belmont
went on, ''in order that counsel should
not be aware that there was a large
fund at my disposal 1t was to keep the
expenses down. in fact"
The witness leaned back as il satisfied
that he had cleared up the point, but
Judge Bruce seemed TO think otherwise.
rs IL fact, then. that there was
change in method?" he wanted to know.
Mr.. Belmont moved forward TO the
edge of his chair, paused for moment
and then said:
Well, now, you must let me answer
in my own way. The firm OF Davies,
Stone & Auerbach has been for the last
fifteen years the recognized attorneys
for the different racing associations.
They have acted, in fact, at numerous
times, without even consulting any one
at all. The counsel fees We're large, and
the racing associations were losing
money at this time, and I was asked to
do the business this way. When 1 ceased
to be chairman Of the State Racing Com
mission didn't give my personal atten-
ton to racing affairs as much as before
that, and our counsel looked after things
more"
