soldier was Clipped with some implement

The face was dis1gured and the gun the
figure carried was broken. 1t will cost
81 500 TO replace the figure and re-erect

Case Going to Grand Jury.

Yes" he replied, land I'm going to put
that matter up to the grand jury In Wash
ington County. the same as I have put the
affairs of other prisons up to the grand
juries in Westchester and Cayuga coun-
ties"
The experts employed by Mr.. Blake
were T. +. Burney and J. p. Francisco.
The latter submitted to the Investigators
information which tended to show that
the specifications of the Great Meadow
prison contract were not lived up 10.
Mr.. Richards showed the witness pa
per which had been sworn 10 as the
original contract made for this prison
between former Superintendent Of Prisons
Joseph w. Scott and A. Pasquini, New
York contractor. He then read from
Francisco's report that s. per cent mag
nesia. Grade "A" was required by the
contract as the material for high pressure
pipe lines. but that IS per cent magnesia,
Grade "B." was used.
Pointing out section in the original
contract, Mr.. Richards asked the investi-
gator to read IT, Mr.. Blake plainly showed
his surprise as he read that IS per cent
magnesia Grade 3D." which was actually
used. was called for by the contract

Bank officials Testimony.

Testimony Of bank officials and Con-
troller's office employees put on the rec
ords the fact that $500 had been de-
posted to Mr.. Blake's credit shortly after
his appointment as special commissioner
that 81 .e6s had been drawn from the ac-
count on Mr.. Blakes check. that there
was balance of $1,4SS %, but that Mr..
Blake had accounted to the State Con-
troller for only s4,S13 rs.
Although admitting that he had used a
portion Of the SIS day he had received
as expenses" for personal expenses and
the expenses Of his family, Mr.. Blake
maintained that he considered he had not
received zone cent compensation" for his
investigation.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-07-04
Believes He Can Prove Graft.

Mr. Blake said that possibly Francisco
wasn't so wrong" and that he intended
TO go over the whole thing again 10 find
out. Mr. Richards frankly told him that
he did not think he handed the expert the
right contract and asked him II he still
charged there was graft Of $4,000 at
Great Meadow prison.
Il think / can prove g." he said. and
l am going to try to prove It,"
Mr.. Blake contended that the discrepan-
cies made by Francisco would amount to
only a few hundred dollars and that he
did not think that ought TO be used to
discredit his whole work
There was considerable discussion con-
corning Mr.. Blake's compensation and
the manner in which his appointment
had been made known by the Governor
TO the State Controller. 1t was brought
out that on March IA the Executive had
notified the Controller Of Blake's appoint
ment, "to serve without compensation"
In this letter the Controller was author
lied by the Executive ito pay Mr.. Blake
s25 a day for his expenses. Later, II de,
veloped, the Controller refused to honor
Blakes vouchers for expenses unless
they we're itemized. subsequently the
Governor wrote another letter, dated
March IA. authorizing the Controller Ito
pay Mr.. Blake SIS day and his trans
portation expenses. such payment TO be
in lieu of all claims for reimbursement
OF Mr.. Blake"
This second letter did not reach the
Controllers files until the latter part OF
April, employees of the Office testified. Mr..
Blake admitted having taken the first
letter from the files. However he did
not remember what became of ii, but
said II probably was on file in the Execu
tive chamber, along with the other
papers in the case. which Secretary Platt
refused to produce without an order from
the Governor.

 A stationary gauge at Red River Landing shows that the big volume Of water which for almost a week had been pouring through the crevassc near Gibsons Landing, la. had not started to flow back into the Missis- sippl this morning. inc regular wave IS expected to make it's appearance tonight or tomorrow. starting a sec ond rise from the mouth of the Red river south to the Gulf.
 Notwithstanding a fall of S feet ar Memphis within four days and a fall of 3.5 feet at Helena, Ark, the gauge at Arkansas City shows a drop in that period of only IA feet, Indicating that a considerable quantity of water is entering the Mississippi river through the Arkansas and White rivers. Thus the loss of over one and a half feet of water day for four days in the river stretch between Helena and Ar kansas City is almost offset by gain of II feet daily from the swollen Ar kansas streams and overflowed lands west and south of Helena.
 Such large quantity of creyasse water is pouring back into the Missis- sippi al Ficksburg from the section flooded by the Mayesville, Miss, ere vase that no relief has been noted ill the Vicksburg stage.

NOW CONSIDERING
 INTERURBAN FRANCHISE
LITTLE ROCK CITY COUNCIL Is SHAPING IT FOR MONDAY's
 COUNCIL MEETING,
Will Offer tmendmcnts-Repr lives of Company Will Oppose
 TheM As Too Drastic.

Little Rock, May 2.-Much time and attention is being given the ordinance now pending before the Little Rock City Council in which a franchise is given the Little Rock, Pine Bluff Bluff and Eastern Traction Company for the operation of an interurban line into Little Rock from points east and south. The ordinance was placed on second reading at the council meeting Wednesday night. Then tOurteCn separate and distinct amend ments were offered each being read che time cnly, as there were but ten aldermen at the meeting-nOt a sui ficient number to suspend the rules, such action being necessary to give f,n ordinance or amendment thereto more than one reading.
 One of the amendments was offered tby Alderman l.eiser, two by Alderman Powers and the remainder by Alder man Hollis. MT. Hollis acted in the matter for Mayor Charles F. Taylor After adjournment of the council meeting Wednesday, night an informal conference was held with representa- lives of the proposed interurban com lrany and it was indicated that the company would object to the adoption of several of the amendments, basiny objections on the grounds that the company is being so tightly bound as to cause considerable difficulty, if not absolute failure, in it's efforts to finance the concern.
 The amendments will be discussed and considered in aldermanic confer ences during the week and will be ready for action of a definite nature by the council at it's meeting Monday night, when the ordinance proper will be ready for it's third reading and adoption or rejection. Several of the amendments are relative to matters of minor detail only.

After long application of third degree the police believe that Lee will be able to give Illuminating testimony at the inquest as to the identity of the actual murderer.
 Nearly tW -undred girl employers have been dmmoned as witnesses in the inquest and will be required to tell of the conditions under which they work and the attentions of yari- ous men connected With the factory which they were forced to accept un- der fear of losing their positions.

ater Near Vidalia.

Vidalia, La, May 2.-Water from the crevasse in the Mississippi river leVee near Gibsons landing was in sight of Vidalia this morning but the people of the town are not greatly concerned, feeling secure in the pro- lection that will be afforded by the railroad embankment that skirts the edge of the town between them and the rising water. The only gap in the protecting barrier is a short stretch spanned by a large trestle. A large force of men was put to work this morning to close this and by to- night the line will be intact
 The crevasse water had extended today as far north as Goldman's. in Tensas parish, and 17 miles in d northwesterly direction.
 Considerable of the flood water is entering Lake St. Peter. near St. Jos eph It is not believed that the town will be flooded
 With the low stage in Red river, il is estimated that the territory that will be flooded will not be covered as deep as last year, and the water will run off more rapidly
 Although the decline in the stage of the Mississippi river south of Vicksburg has somewhat relieved the pressure at Kempes bend where trou- ble has been expected for several days, men and material are kept con- stantly on hand there.
 At several other places along the levee near Concorda parish sand boils have developed. Gangs of la borers are working day and night to prevent them from getting head way.
 Camp Birnes, across the river al Natchez, is crowded to it's capacity with refugees taken from the flooded country
 The Associated Charities is also taking care of many of the homeless.
