The removal of the petitioners was de-
termined upon in an effort to stop a leak
not in the Croton Aqueduct but in the
citys treasury. which for many years has
poured steady stream of money into the
pockets of the so-called Aqueduct Commits
sioners and the expensive staff of engin-
eers and employees which they maintained"
Mr.. StraSbourger said that his clients re-
sented the way in which they were
thrown out" He reviewed the action of
the Mayor and his appointment of a new
commission, and cited the act of 1888, Great
ing the commission. The lawyer said that
the Mayor, under subsequent acts had no
power to remove the commissioners until
they had finished their work He added.
however, that if the Mayor had asked the
designations of the commissioners they
would have submitted uncomplainingly.
Mr.. Watson, in opposition, said that a
certiorari proceeding was not the proper
remedy. This case is important 10 the
city" he said. 'and the city's officials; it Is
important to the taxpayers, who have for
years been paying the freight. 1t is for
the court to say whether the commission

CRITICISES FUND.
Editor Suggests Changes an
Rockefeller Plan.

In an article on Social Forces the ed
itor of The Survey writes in the current
issue of that publication that a dispas-
sionate study of bequests and endowments
will at least raise very serious doubts as
10 the wisdom of the Rockefeller Founda-
ton in its proposed form. The editor be-
lieves that the very breadth and liberality
of the charter of the new foundation
might corceivably lead to artificial and
untimely support for established institutions
and agencies which are blocking human
progress, and continues:
The personal property and funds of the
foundation are to be exempt from taxa
ton. Assuming that the endowment yields
4 per cent and is all productive, and that
ordinary taxation absOrbs annually Is
per cent of the value of the property this
means that taxpayers who are not exempt
are furnishing annually and in perpetuity
one-thlrd of the resources of the founda-
ton. The value of the property thus with
drawn from taxation will amount, accord
ing TO some guesSes. to a thousand million
dollars. Frederick Z. Gates, who doubt
less knows as much as any one about it,
intimateS that even One-half of this sum
is an eXaggeration.
The article brings forward the question
whether the withdrawal forever Of such a
sum from taxation does not in effect con-
stitute the nation partner in the benev-
lent enterprise, ana suggests tue tollOWlng
additional provisions:
That the government should have a voice
in the selection of corpora tors and trustees.
That il should be stipulated that the an
nual income during the life of the cndow-
ment should actually be expended for the
purposes enumerated in the charter the
indefinite increase of the endoWmentS
through compound interest being forbid
den
That within a specified period, which
might properly he hundred years or more,
any given endowment should be entirely
expended both principal and interest.

Albany. March 9.-Cross- ss-exanination of
various bank accounts and entries in them
will be taken up tomorrow when the Sem
ate committee of the whole resumes its
inquiry into the bribery charges. James
w. Osborne, of counsel for Senator Conger,
desires to probe to the bottom the facts
regarding Senator Allds's possession of one
hundred shares of the New York Electric
Vehicle and Transportation Company to
discover whether he paid $3.50 for that
stock, as he testified
Mr.. Osborne spent most of the day in
going through the transcripts of the bank
accounts already in evidence. There are
many entries in them which seem to him
to demand explanation He will take up
these, probably, before asking for the
transcript Of the 1900 Aids account in the
Norwich Bank. That account, if any, 1t is
said, should show some clue TO the pur
chase of this stock, about which Senator
Allds's memory was somewhat hazy. In
these transcripts there are items of cash
deposited in large sums, and OF other
transactions which have seemed of much
interest to the Conger lawyers.
Other brokerage transactions. too will
be investigated when Senator Aids is
testified that he was a remarkably success
ful speculator, never losing in any of his
ventures save this one of the Electric
Vehicle Company. Mr.. Osborne's curiosity
regarding this successful financial career
has led him to send several of his assist
ants to New York to look up various stock
transactions, and he may have some sur
prises on hand tomorrow
The Conger lawyers seemed satisfied to-
day with the results of their first days
cross examination of the defendant in the
bribery investigation. They felt that any
damage done 10 their side of the case by
the testimony of the witness Daniels and
the original positive denial of the charge
by Senator Aids had been taken care of.
Senator Alldss lawyers, on the other
hand. laid much stress on the letter of
Conger TO the defendant written in May,
1901. expressing gratitude and friendship
to him, after the time of the alleged
bribery.

1t was at that distant time-more than
80 years ago. In fact. the town had no
suburbs then. The pioneers built their
houses closely together. for travel was
a disagreeable adventure and every
body wanted to be as close as possible
to the center of population.

Der "a, 1909. a photograph was shown
which revealed the city In 1851. At
that time the water line was at Mont
gomery street. The picture referred
to showed the bay crammed with ships
that had been deserted by officers and
crews bound for the mines. 1t will be
observed in the picture printed today
that the shipping was still brisk In
1856. for there were few deserted ships

In 1855 there was no Market street
in fact. there was nothing to indicate
a thoroughfare along the line of what
is now the city's principal highway.
The city was nearly all to the north
of It. with a few buildings along the
water front to the south. But there
was a Mission street, only in those
days 1t was called the plank road"
It ran out to about what Is now Twen-

from the fact that it was paved with
planks. There were very few people

OF the 800 who arrived on the side

1t was on February Is, 1874, that
these men We're guests of the Pacific
Mail steamship company. and were
taken on an excursion around the bay

borne them through the Golden gate a
quarter of a century before The ex-
cursion was one OF the notable events
OF the time. Most OF the men whose
names are given above were guests. as
were hundreds OF other prominent
citizens. A lunch was given on BOARD
during the excursion. and when the
boat returned to its moorings ! ban

by the pioneers and a few notable
guests. Speeches. songs and fnstru-
