DEPOSED GOVERNOR STARTS II

Contracts for Barge Canal, CatskiII
Aqueduct, and Highway Construction
of Nearly $4,000, 0Oo-Fraud and
Thievery Written in Every Line.
NEW YORK-The present prospect
that United States Senator James A.
O'GOrman may confirm the sworn
testimony of former Governor William
Sulzer, with respect to the attempt to
CXtort $4,000 from James c. Stew
art is the most significant feature to
date Of the investigation of highway,
barge canal and aqueduct contracts.
SwindIe involves Millions.
The greatness of the prize which
the organizers Of the machine held
before those whose aid they sought IS
astounding. The decision of the
PEOPLE of the state to build the barge
canal at a cost of SOL 100000, New
York S necessity forcing her to the OK.
penditure of $161 100000 for the Cat
Skill aqueduct. the authorization Of &
bond issue of $5O,O0O,OOO for the con
structi3n and repair of the highways
these were the circumstances that
tired the ambitions of those whose
eyes were peeled for public plumber.
The gigantic sWindle was already we'll
advanced when another bond issue ur
@50,O0G 900 was put through to feed
the eager grafterS
Contracts Held Up.
Almost at the start of the "JChn
Doe" inquiry in this city the fact was
brought out that the Democratic or
ganizatiOn campaigned as e. silly
for the passage of the second 81 Co.,
600 referendum as it did for control
of political Offices One phase of the
repair contracts for highways was
the holding up of contractors already
at work for alleged campaign contrib
ut1Ons One contractor has admitted
hTlbing an official in the department
TO get his final payment.
AS for barge canal contracts, the
testimony to date is of the same gen,
eral character as that given with re-
spect to the highways.
II was an attempt to sell a barge
contract that brought Senator OGOr-
man TO the front of the investig atIDn
SuIzer Started 1t All.
In the aqueduct, the district attor
Eey has given much attention, and
startling, information, much of il. in
volving the name of James e. Gaffney,
has been brought out With the in
CURRY at it's present stage and with
former Governor Sulzer in the lime
light again at the district attorneys
side, it is a fact of grim significance
that he actually started the whole in
vestigatiOn. He turned to an investi
cation of the state highways when he
saw that he must fight Charles F.
Murphy and the Democratic Organiza-
ton. Now the inquiry is at the stage
where some of the biggest men in the
Democratic party realize the whole
pOiitical-graft combine must go.
