The Supreme Court Grand Jury which
is giving its attention to the alleged frauds
in highway contracts, campaign contri-
buttons and the Catskill aqueduct received
yesterday certified transcripts Of the ac-
counts which number of State officials
and former State officials have with the
First National Bank OF Albany.
Assistant District Attorney william ID.
f.mbroe spent SOME time in Albany TWO
weeks ago arranging for the production of
these documents. They were brought here
yesterday and laid before the Grand Jury
by Hugh V. Arnold, vice-president and
cashier of the First National Bank.
But when Mr.. Embree went to Albany
II was learned that he sought the bank
accounts OF several men In whose direc-
ton the John Doe graft investigation APP

men is former State official. His name
has been mentioned frequently by con-
tractors and other witnesses whose busi-
ness interests took them to Albany and tn

new HAVEN AGREEMENT
EXPECTED THIS WEEK
Elliott COnfers With McRcyn-
Olds, who Says He Is "NOt
Disappointed"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Howard Elliott
Of the New Haven railroad and Attorney
General McReynolds discussed for two
hours to-day the general provisions of an
agreement for the reorganization OF the
road. They agreed that no specific state
ment should be given out.
Mr. Elliott will remain in Washington
until Friday and will hold other con-
ferences at the Department Of Justice
with the Attorney General and Special
Counsel Jesse u. Adkins and Thomas w.
Gregory.
The Attorney General said that he had
not been disappointed by anything that
came up at the conference that the dis
cussion had been devoted entirely to the
general aspects Of the agreement which
must be reached In order to prevent the
filing of a suit in equity by the Govern
ment. This was regarded as a DEFINITE
indication that no tentative draft OF the
proposed agreement has been made. as
was reported here to-day.
There are reasons for believing. how
ever. that SUCH draft ~ an agree
ment will be made before Mr.. Elliott
leaves Washington and that this draft will
be used as the basis for further negotia-
tions. The belief Is widespread that the
negotiating parties are substantially in
accord, but the situation, IL Is believed,
has not been sufficiently clarified as 70
matters of detail to preclude the posi-
bility Of difficulty at later stages Of tho
negotiations.
From seini-ofiiciaI source It was
learned tonight that the net result OF to-
days conference and of the correspond
ence since the recent meeting of the New
Haven stockholders has been to encourage
both MIR Elliott and the Attorney Gen
eral
