GRAND JURY COUNTS VOTES
Dangerous Precedent, Board of
Elections President Declares.

The General Sessions grand jury which
is investigating charges made by mem
bers of the Progressive party and the
Honest Ballot Association that the As
sembly election returns In the 10th Assem-
bly, District were falsifed opened one Of
the ballot boxes from that district and
counted the ballots yesterday.
]. Gabriel Britt. president Of the Board
of Elections, and Assistant Corporation
Counsel Hahlo, appeared before Justice
Golf to oppose the opening Of the box
by the grand jury, maintaining 1t would
establish a dangerous precedent. w. A.
De Ford. the Assistant District Attorney
who is conducting the investigation. de-
clared he could not conceive how public
interest would be affected by the use Of
the contents of ballot box in an investi-
CATION to determine whether a crime had
been committed.
The law provided. he said. that the bal
lots should be preserved as evidence In
any criminal proceedings. There was no
intention, he said, to use the grand jury
to recount the vote; the recount. should
one occur, would be for the sole purpose
of determining IL crime had been COM
mitted.
Justice Goff told the foreman Of the
grand jury that II, In the judgment of the
grand jury, public interest demanded the
opening Of the box and recounting Of
the ballots 10 determine II a crime had
been committed it was their right and
duty to do so. He added that the pur-
pose Of the proceeding was not to obtain
a recount In the interest of any individual
or individuals
II was noticed that when the box was
taken down TO the Safe Deposit Company
OF New York for safe keeping the official
seal had been broken.

BROADS|DE At TOMKINS
COMES FROM mitchell
Nothing but Confusion in Com
missioner'S Plans, Says
AIdermaniC Head.
WOULD WASTE MILLIONS
Terminal Committee Angry at
Criticism Which Put Them
in Light Of Inexpe-
rienced Meddlers.

Strained relations that have existed
for some time between Dock Commits
sioner Tomlzns and the terminal conf
mittee Of the Board of Estimate came
IN 2 head at the meeting of the latter
hodv Yesterday. President Mitchell or
the Board of Aldermen, on behalt OF the
committee. roasted the Dock Commas
sioner to a turn.
This committee does not propose 10
hermit the Dock Commissioner here
after to misrepresent the facts ne
said "as he has been doing recently III
public speeches, without calling the a'-
t.nt,ou of the public to the misstate-
ments."
What particularly incensed President
Mitchell and his colleagues was tlle
statement OF the Commissioner at lilS
recent conference of the port authorl-
ties of the United States when ne salo
that three highly critical SUBSIDIARY
dock departments existed in the ofnces
of the Controller, the President ol 'ii7
porongh Of Manhattan and the presi-
dent of the Board Of Aldermen ne
asserted that these officials couIo not
hsoonne familiar with the details OF the
administration Of the port except
through the medium of inexperienced
subordinates. These statements were
called deliberately and wilfuiiy men
dacious."
Mitchell Grows Sarcastic.
ON noint of fact" said President
Mitchell. had It not been for the crlti-
cal study and suggestions Of the suoor-
dinates Of these offices and OF the three
members Of the terminal committee tne
Dock Commissioner would still be
noundering about in maze OF deciara-
tions Of policy, pamphlets and pubic
speeches leading nowhere except 10
confusion"
The president went on to say that the
Dock Commissioner had never SUD-
mitted to the Board of Estimate an In
telligent and we'll considered plan Tor
the development OF any poruon Oh inc
terminal facilities Of the port. This
has become manifest" he said, leach
time that critical analysis has been ap-
piled to the suggestions Of the DOCK
Department. Nor has the Dock Com
missioner until the last few weeks been
willing to stand by his own plans long
enough to permit the board to adopt
one of them even If it saw fit to do So"
Speaking Of the various Tomkins
plans for the South Brooklyn develop
ment, President Mitchell said:
Had 1t not been for the work Of the
terminal committee and those members
of the staff, including the chief engi-
neer of this board, whom the Dock
Commissioner has seen fit to term
irresponsible and inexperienced the
city would already have been COM

FEARS SICKLES CAN'T PAY
Family Lawyer Asserts State
Will Get Nothing.

II was stated yesterday by lawyer
representing the interests Of ono Of the
members Of tho family of General Daniel
r.. Sickes that after the various claims
against his property had been settled there
would be nothing left to pay the state the
shortage Of $4,000 found In his accounts
as chairman Of the state Monuments Com
mission, for which the Controller Is press
Ing him TO make settlement.
THE assessed valuation Of the gener-
ais property appears IN the city records
at $4,000" the lawyer said yesterday.
Ills wlfe's dowry rights and mortgages
aggregating si6S.000. take precedence OF
all claims against the property. 1t Is
hard TO figure out where the state gets
off, even though the general did mako
and send to the Controller trust deed
authorizing him TO dispose OF the prop
erty to make good the $4,000 shortage In
case II were not otherwise made good be-
fore January .. 1913"
DESPITE the fact that word came from
Albany that the Controller intended to
hold all the members OF the Monuments
Commission responsible for the shortage,
none OF them would discuss II any further
yesterday. They stuck to this even when
told the additional fact that 1t was prob
able the generals equity In his property
would not be sufficient to meet the short
age in tho commissions accounts after
other claims were satisfied. saying that
they would say nothing and take no ac-
ton until they heard from the Controller
further.
Another interesting question which Is
expected to be raised is as to how Gull
pable the banks which cashed checks made
out to Daniel f.. Sickles, chairman
when they were Endorsed simply Daniel
r. Sickles," viii be held to be.

Tomkins DepIores Controversy.

In a reply given out last night Com
missioner Tomkins started out by re-
ferring to 1.-The various reports and
statements which I have made" He
expressed the hope that hereafter his
plans rather than he might be the OBJ
ject Of criticism.
THE people of New York can have
little interest in the opinion Of Mr.
Mitchell and myself regarding each
other" he said, but they are vitality
interested in the protracted delays
which are injuring the city's commerce
and industries and the responsibility
therefor. Mr.. Mitchel's criticism of
me is opportune as indicative of prob
able specific criticism Of the Dock De-
partment's plan by the Board OF Esti-
mate committee"
Mr.. Tomkins said that he expected
the committee to resent his remarks
and reply as 1t did.
The terminal committee presented a
report suggesting some changes in tho
Tomkins plan for South Brooklyn, and
q hearing was ordered for Thursday.

INVITATION
OF PREMIER
Will be Accepted and British
Mine Owners Federation
Will Meet With Union
Committee.

London, March 12.--Following n
meeting of the British mine own
ers federation today it was decided to
accept Premier Asquith's invitation to
meet with the union committee at the
premier's office this evening. At that
time the question of a settlement OF
the great coal strike will be taken
up. While British operators have talk
en- this step. the attitude Of the Scot
tish and South Wales officials was
still uncertain today. After they
meeting II was said they had not
determined what their course would
be. They were to meet again later
and 1t was expected that they would
finally enter the conference. There
was a general feeling today that. so
far as the English mines are concerns
ed, the strike will soon he over. Both
sides want to settle. The question
Is the minimum wage scale and even
that has been disposed Of in part
The only question now with the Eng
lish operators is the fixing Of the
exact figures and these may be reach
ed by agreement today.
The situation Is so serious through
out the country that both sides are
plainly impressed.
At miners headquarters today Il
was stated that nothing would be
left undone to end the strike, and that
the committee would go into the con-
ference prepared to make substan-
tial sacrifices for peace. Similar state.
ments were made at the offices of the
English operators federation.
