PRESCRIBES GRAND JURIES
Justice Golf Rules Presentments
Are Not LEGAL.

Grand iuries have no legal right to make
presentments, according to Justice Golf. of
the Supreme Court In a long decision
handed down yesterday in the Criminal
Branch. expunging from the records pre-
sentiment made by the grand jury which
investigated the charges against the So
called Ice Trust in January. 1908, Justice
Goff said:
Thus the law. plainly expressed. is that
a grand jury can act only in the manner
prescribed by law, that when it so acts a
certain definite legal result must follow.
and that such result can be expressed only
in either one of the two formula: "A true
bill found OF charge dismissed
"Whatever office a presentment per
formed. whether as basis for criminal
prosecution or as a direction to the prose
cution to frame an indictment. it has been
expressly abolished, and the grand jury in
its inquiry as TO whether a crime has been
committed is limited TO formulating or dis
missing the charge, just as a petit jury Is
limited to a verdict of Guilty or Not
guilty
Later in his decision Justice Goff said:
1.-The mischief arises from a prevailing
belief that q grand jury making the con-
yentional presentment speaks with great
authority and acts under the sanction of
the court, thereby giving to its deliverance
a solemnity which impresses the mind of
the public This is a grave error The
powers and duties of q grand jury are de-
fined by law. No matter how respectable
or eminent citizens may be who compose
the grand jury, they are not above the law.
and the people have not delegated TO them
arbitrary or plenary powers to do that,
under an ancient form, which they have
not the legal right to do.
In view of the deadlock between the
Rockefeller grand jury and Judge O'Sulli-
van, of General Sessions. on the present
ment dealing with the grand jury's inves-
tigation of so-called white slave" traffic.
Justice Goff's decision was commented
upon in the Criminal Courts Building yes
terday as supporting the contentious Of

"BIG TIM" KEEPS HIS WORD
Back for Big Fight Talks of
Passion PLAY and Roosevelt.

Big Tim Sullivan, who promised when
he went abroad several weeks ago, that he
would be back in time for ''the big fight,
kept his word, coming right back to New
York yesterday on the Cunarder Lusitania.
He was perturbed over two things, but
apart from them he hadn't care in the
world.
The first thing he mentioned was the gos-
sip that the fight was "a fixed sure thing.
Now, what is the use of talking that
way when there is no occasion for it?" he
said
Il am holding s71,00o of the fight money
now and expect TO hold S51, 900 more the
day before the men come together"
The other minor trouble was the exasper-
alton he experienced al hotels in Oberam-
mergau. The Tammany leader said the
hotel proprietors charged Sc for Is cents
worth of accommodation; sought ones
patronage six months in advance, and
seemed anxious to get rid of one an hour

MAYOR WANTS TOGO SLOW
Is Opposed to Drastic. Action in
Eleventh Avenue Matter.
CONTROLLER WITH mitchell
Dock Commissioner Tomkins
Said To Be Working on West
Side Elevated Scheme.

BY clear-cut division. the Controller and
the President of the Board of Aldermen
opposed and the Mayor and other members
in favor, the Board of Estimate yesterday
voted to lay over for week the resolution
of President Mitchell calling for the imme-
diate stoppage of the use of dummy engines
by the New York Central Railroad in
Eleventh avenue, below 30th street. This
would put this part of the road out of
business. as the charter provides that regu-
lar locomotives may not be used below that
point
The proposition will be passed upon by
the Corporation Counsel before the next
meeting of the board and a committee of
three appointed to confer with him on
the entire subject of eliminating. the rail-
road tracks from the surface on the West
Side.
Incidentally it came out that Dock Com
missioner Tomkins had revived the plan for
the construction of elevated structure
down the West Side, with spurs to the va
rious warehouses and piers. but had not
worked on it long enough to be ready to
make detailed report.
Mayor Gaynor took the attitude that 1t
would be unwise to pick quarrel by TAX
ing drastic action. while the Controller ana
President Mitchell held mat SO IoiIS dS 'iie
New York Central Railroad was believed to
be a trespasser the sooner the question was
settled by the courts the better. TO De
sure" said President Mitchell, so soon as
we started to stop these dummy engines an
injunction would be served upon US, but II
could be fought out in the courts"
THE injunction proceeding might not be
terminated in five years" declared the
Mayor. while calm negotiations might set
tie the question in a few months" "
A number of business men who were Wor-
ried at the prospect of having the freight
business on the West Side paralyzed by the
stopping of the dummy engines went away
much relieved by the assurance of the
Mavor that no drastic measures would be
taken
tt was announced that the committee OF
the board had reached agreement with
the Long Island Railroad regarding the
elimination of grade crossings in Queens
Borough The city will pay $4,000 toward
the grade crossing work necessitated by the
Increase of the tracks from two TO six be-
tween the Sunnyside yards and Winfield
and Richmond Hill. This is practically one
sixth of the expense AS President Miller
of The Bronx Borough wished TO study
the agreement. its consideration was de-
ferred for week.

TYSON CASE LONG DELAYED

Assistant Who Handled Charge.

Preliminary to placing John II. Tyson. Of
Riverside. Conn, trial under an indict-
ment for manslaughter alleged to have been
committed in this city on February q, 1905
District Attorney Whitman yesterday began
an investigation of the long delay in the

preme Court, to discharge the bail
While the motion was pending friend
of the District Attorney Informed him that
Henry Fox who was with Tyson, and who
Mr.. Du Vivier had reported was in Los
Angeles. was in reality in Stamford. Conn,
and was visiting New York almost daily
This was verified by Irving C. Fox, law
yer and cousin of the witness He ex-
hibited telegram purporting to be signed
by William Travers Jerome and to have
been sent to his cousin at Stamford about
two months after the indictment, reading:
John H Tyson case has been put off
without date
When called on by Mr.. Whitman for an
explanation, Mr. Du Vivier said he had
based his statement on the word of former
associates with him under District Attor-
ney Jerome but could not remember their
names.
Mr. Moss in whose hands the investiga-
ton has been placed, said that Du Vivier
had suggested dismissing the ball bond
originally in the belief that Fox would &C

part of the authorities, and come within
