a New York Democrat made It the target
OF his criticism In a tariff speech on the

PANIC IN GRAFT CAHP
Carnival of Secret "Suueallng'
Going On at Atlantic City.
FEAR AN ELIS0R JURY
Fresh Charges Made in Connec.
ton with Building Of New
Drainage Canal.
by Telegraph to The Tribune. !

Atlantic city. June Just before eav-
in3 here for Trenton this afternoon, after
having delivered an address of welcome 10
delegates Of the American Medical Associ-
alton, Governor Wilson said he had not
come down here for the purpose of confer
ence i'm connection with the graft reveal
tons.
Charges against Councilman John Murt-
land in connection with the building of
new drainage canal, which Is now being
constructed by the Root Construction Com
pany, were among the developments OF the
day. The contract price for building the
canal reached almost $4,000. and II is now
charged by those who are backing the move
ment which brought about the downfall OF
the counciImen that Murtland accepted
graft, This story was printed in The At
lantic Review to-day. but up to late to-
night Murtland has declined TO make any
statement whatever in connection with the
affair
:. NJ Nefr, one of the members Of the
Root Construction Company. however. was
not so passive. He said there was abso-
lutely not a word Of truth in the statement
that his company had creased any mem
bers of the council I'VE were obliged to
pare down our figures to such an extent in
order to secure the contract that We did not
have any margin left for paying graft 10
any one" said Mr.. Nef.
The facts gathered by the Buns oper-
atives will be presented to the present
grand jury, or possibly before an elisor
grand jury. All the accused men are badly
scared. and while they arc putting up
front when found together. they are secretly
Squeezing on one another IN the hope
that they may escape prosecution.
The uncoverng of the graft has caused
peculiar condition in local political circles.
BY the appointments which he made last
night Mayor Bacharach has gone back on
nearly all Of the men who fought for ahiS
election. Soon after taking the oath Of
office he went back on Kuehnle. who had
turned all his friends In for the election Of
Bacharach IS Mayor. Since that time he
has been training along with Senator Edge.
and they hav both been against the locsl
organization. In his appointments last
night Bacharach gave Edge the cold shout
der and totally disregarded any suggestions
made by the Atlantic Senator as to council
manic appointments.
The Mayor is under Indictment on IN
election fraud charge. and ii is generally be
ieved that he is willing TO sacrifice any and
all of his friends in order to placate the rc-
formers with view OF getting them 10 let
up on him. The Mayor has announced his
candidacy for Commissioner. but with an in
dictment hanging over his head and havnz
cut both Kuehnie and Senator Edge there
is about as much possibility If his being
elected one of the ten high men as there i-
of his becoming King of ireland.
