DR. Russell gave much other interest
ing testimony to-day. lie didn't pre-
sent his connection with the bride oif"r
in an engaging light. He admitted
that even after the offer had been mace
Ia him bv John Anhut he had accepted
that individuals hospitality: that 'aier
ne had recommended him as a lawyer

10 New York 10 meet him and had is
tened again 10 bribe offer. though he
knew what Anhut wanted when he
went e.
Il went there determined To sque!ch
the matter. and did" he said.
Clark was the first witness of the
day. He made his conspiracy charge
, boldly enough. He said he had warned
| the Governor he was in great danger
and investigated the matter at the
| Governors request. But when he was
pressed for details he ended "a ,hcr
lamely by admitting that all he knew
was hearsay evidence and suggested
that Thaw and Dr. Russell and Tha" 5
agent" Hoffman. Of Fishkill or
Poughkeepsic. be subppnacd and eN-
amined.
This fellow ThdW has been nothing
but human meal ticket FOR these nee
pie down there" he said. whenever
they wanted any money they just went
and took il away from him.
He suggested that Thaw. Colonel
Scott and DR.. Russell he cXamincd
about the alleged bride. and that Hoff-
mans bank account be Investigated.
Following Clark. Dr. Russell was re
called and put through q long grilling.
Dr. Russell told how he had gone to-
Now York on November - and had
mot Anhut ~ the request Of tho New
York lawyer. He said hc absolutely ~
fused Anhut's bride offer. which was
made 10 him i'm the Hotel Savoy. Then.
he said. he had "a cigar and q drui,

Although admitting that he knew the
( Governor Of the state had no jurisdic-

was on December IL. He had received

made up my mind that would squei -

Exchanoe President Protests.

lanes NJ. Mabon. president Of the *
change. continued his defence yesterday
of it's business methods and protested Wig
oi ously aeains, the passage OF al inc
Ills affecting Wall Street not previously
commented upon.
1t is Difficult. TO understand, he said
how the community at large could be
benefited by the passage of certain OF the
bills which are now pending al Albany
some Of which are entirely impracticarle'
Their adoption would add TO the com
pleXities of a business which ought TO be
helped and not hindered. Still others
would lay down rules for the conduct of
business which arc altogether al variance
with that freedom OF contract which IS
nasic in America. rules which no banker
and no merchant could possibly adopt.
Take for example the bill entitled DIS
elimination Icy Exchanges Of Members.
which contains among others, the follow
ne provision: No member of any eA-
change. voluntary association or corpora
lion. shall refuse 90 deal OF trade for, or
with am customers who desire said
member 10 trade or deal 70" o. with

or conditions as those observed In trans
actions letwcen such members and other
customers
This provision imposes upon a broker
"a cquirement which the state would
never think Of imposing upon an incor-
porated bank. Imagine law requiring
banks to loan money upon the same
terms TO all persons desiring 10 borrow.
This provision would effectively prevent
the stock Exchange from adopting any
means 10 prevent its members from as
~lsting people in bucketshop operations
and other fraudulent enterprises.
1t would also make it impossible for
stock Exchange firms to refuse to transact
business for people of bad character ana
would interfere with the natural right Of
"A man to discriminate in the selection OF
