licitor.
II think 1t was 5000 or $500, but I
haven't received any lately and I don't
know whether I'm still president or not.

Some persons who may have given

read this statement from his testimony

ago. l destroyed every evidence OF In
debtedness to me from any one at all.
There was a lot Of 1t. wanted to leave
no troubles behind for any one and

Julian NJ. Tomlinson OF Bridgeport,
Conn. general auditor OF the New Haven
Railroad. was questioned by Mr.. Folk
about political contributions by the road.
From your examination of the books
can you find any record OF any such con-
tribution?" asked Mr.. Folk.
Il find none." replied the witness.
Mr.. Tomlinson added that ne had heard
Mr.. Mellen say he had made contributions
for political purposes.
What were those contributions asked
Mr.. Folk.
Mr., Mellen's Contributions.
MIR. Mellen said no had paid $50. 900 TO
the Republican National Committee and
$1,000 to Vice-President auckland OF the
New Haven road to be paid to the Re
publican State committee OF Rhode Island.'
How did that appear on the books OF
the New Haven"
These payments do not appear on the
books"
How were they concealedr'
They We're not concealed"
Mr.. Folk had in HIS hand n statement
showing payments made by the New
Haven system for various purposes about
1909.
This statement shows" said Mr.. Folk,
that about 100000 was paid to Edward
D. Robbins for moulding public opinion.
How did that appear on the books?"
THAT does not appear on the books OF
the New Haven railroad. That was paid
by the Consolidated Railways Company"
replied the witness.
Now them" said Mr.. Folk, "as n matter
OF fact were not these expenditures OF
100000 charged to construction"
IT think they WERE" said Mr.. Tomln-
son.
Are there any vouchers in your posses
G.on showing payments made to John II
Mckay
II think there are replied the witness
but whether they are by the New Havcn
railroad or the New England Navigation
Company ] do not know"
The witness promised TO produce these
vouchers and also the record relating &c
payments by the New Haven IN connec.
ton with the obtaining of pier rights in
New York city.
Taking up the affairs OF the Billiard
Company. Mr.. Folk developed that the
New England Navigation Company. 4
New Haven subsidiary. had originally sold
l09.s4s shares of the stock OF the Bos; on
and Maine Railroad to John L. Billiard a,
&125 n share and a little later bought Il
back from him for $3.50 n share. In this
transaction Mr. Billiard apparently made a
profit OF s270r>o00. and this Is the money
that. the commission alleges. seems to have
vanished into thin air.

and said that in the annual report to the
stockholders there appeared an item Of
$40. 100000 of Billiard Company gold notes

tenn have any knowledge as to the value
OF the assets Of the Billiard Company.

time of the last annual report?"
The witness replied that he was not Q
financial officer Of the Navigation Com

Ing about the AFFAIR." Of the Billiard Com
pany.
Then do you know who IL responsible
for placing in the annual report tho book

ties at 10000. 000?"
II was responsible for making up the

the securities"

that while he was an officer OF the com.
pany he held only five shares of tbs

1t from John l. Billiard"
why did YOU retire as treasurer
We'll. l cannot say. unless II was at
the suggestion OF Mr.. Billiard or Mr.

'DIAMOND JIM BRADY WAS
NEW HAVEN ROADS SANTA
He Just Gave Presents to the Officials and Did
Not Keep Any Record Of the Gifts
All |. 0. us Destroyed

WASHINGTON, May diamond Jim
Brady Of New York appeared as a wit.
ness tonight before the Interstate Com
merce Commission In the New Haven
railroad inquiry and was questioned in
regard to the entertainments he has given
to railroad officials and others. The com.
missions lawyers seemed to be on fish
Ing excursion in questioning Mr.. Brady,
but their haul from this witness was very
light
Tho first appearance Of Mr.. Brady on
the stand topped of a day In which testi-
mony had been given in regard to q
$4,000 contribution by the New Haven
road to the Republican national committee
and a $500 contribution to the Rhode
Island Republican State committee. There
was a reference also to an expenditure
OF 100000 by Edward d. Robbins for
moulding public opinion
The commissions lawyers continued to
seek in vain for light on what had become
Of about $2.500.0O0 of the New Haven's
funds which were lost SO far as the
railroads. books show In a single trans
action with the Billiard Company of Now
Haven.
Second National Bank OF New Haven.
who was treasurer and secretary of the
Billiard Company, could throw no light
on the detailed transactions OF that hold
ing concern.
M. Brady's Expenditures.
Mr.. Brady frankly acknowledged that
he kept no books OF his personal expendi-
lures. and that In hts capacity as vice.
president Of the Keith Car Company and
the Standard Steel Car Company he made
no charge Of any sort against either con-
Germ for moneys spent In entertainment
and In presents to friends among the rail-
way officials. He refused to estimate how
much he spent in this manner.
II have made my money during the
forty-four years since started as a boy
In the railroad business, in my
own way and In my private capacity.
and the way to fortune is my private
business and no one knows anything
about II. For that reason 1 keep no
bockk.
L don't want to be bothered with them
and I don't propose that anybody else
shall know how have built my business.
II Is my own and don't propose to give
up my business to any soul 30 long as I
live"
Solicitor Folk was most inslstent on
Mr.. Bradys reciting all the circumstances
OF his personal expenditures among the
men OF his acquaintance on the New
Haven board OF directors.
''why. I've given 'em dinners and they
have returned the compliment. I have
from tim. to time given them presents and
sent presents to the ladies OF their fam
lilies sweets at Christmas and flowers ct
Easter and all that sort OF thing. but
never n present because l got their BUSH
ness. They were not that kind OF people.

Vera Cruz to be Evacuated.

The presidents order to the troops to return
home will end the American occupation Of Vera
Cruz There is sort OF gentle irony. however.
in the announcement from the White house that
this action is taken in view OF the entire re-
moval Of the circumstances which were thought
to justify the occupation" for It leaves us to
read into the vague words whatever "circum-
stances" we please to read into them.
ostenslbly Vera Cruz was seized by our blue
jackets because to the demand for salute to
our flag after the Tampico incident Huerta un-
dertook to haggle as TO whether the return sa-
Lutte should be gun for gun or all at one time.
II failure to salute constituted the "circum-
stances" referred to- of course they could not
have been removed, because the salute has not
yet been delivered But every one knows that
the demand for a salute was a mere pretext,
that the precipitancy of the seizure OF Vera Cruz
was due to a desire TO intercept shipioad Of
war munitions consigned to Huerta about to
reach their destination ! Still back Of that. and
more basic. was Huertas brazen defiance to, the
presidents original refusal to recognize his
government and his ignoring OF the summons
to vacate the national palace. The removal OF
Huerta and the installation Of Carranza consti-
tutes In reality the removal of the ''circum-
stances" which were thought to justify the occu-
patton Of Vera Cruz, and the ultimate purpose
of re-establishing peaceful and orderly govern!
ment in Mexico may now be better promoted by
our withdrawal.
Altogether the president 10 TO be cougratu.
lated on the success of his "wstchful waiting
policy, for which he may thank mis- lucky stars
rather than well-weighed wisdom or skillful
strategy. Except for the little brush at We're
Cruz this country has been kept out Of the war
In Mexico. which seemed for the moment un.
escapable, and that contamination. is worth the
money and sacrifice II cost.

What Of the Stat. Fair.

Courageously proclaiming that not even
solid week Of copous rain could convert the Ne
braska state fair into a disaster. the Lincoln
star nevertheless sees the risk involved in pres
ent fair methods. and proposes that the fair
be extended, now that II has assumed the dig
nifty and proportions OF great exposition, over
a period that would guarantee in a measure
that unfavorable weather would not destroy its
effectiveness.
IL the Star voices the sentiment Of the fair
management and of the Lincoln people directly
concerned. they have at least become suscept-
ible to advice which The Bee gave long ago
and has frequently repeated namely, that the
State Board Of Agriculture should collect and
maintain a permanent exhibit OF Nebraska's
resources and make the fair merely a harvest
festival as It's annual elimination. Instead OF
spending large sums OF money for premiums
year by year for big pumpkins and Fancy tides,
this prize competition should be made subordi-
nate to a comprehensive state exhibit educa-
tional in character, large part OF which would
have to be done only once. Such an exposition
of our agricultural resources would include dis
plays OF all the different kinds Of soils in all
the different counties in the state the different
kinds OF timber that have been made to take
