Meetings Point to Nominal
Valuation of POStOffiCe
Easement.
N. Y. EXPECTED TO
SPEND 100000
Washington Wants Mail Plat
forms FurniShed-P. S. {.
Sees Little Objection.

The preliminary conferences between
the governments representatives and
those of the Public Service Commission
Yesterday indicated that "A settlement or
the controversy over an easement under
the Federal Building for the construction
OF the Seventh av. subway connection
will be reached so far as the local con-
ferrees can go, to-day or tomorrow. The
reports of the government representatives
will then be submitted TO Secretary Nc
Adoo OF the Treasury Department for his
final approval
II was apparent that the city authori-
ties do not intend to give serious consid-
Grafton 10 the condition imposed by Mr..
McAdoo in his letter to Chairman Mccall
of the Public Service Commission. in
which he said he would insist that the
commission assume the expense OF the
publication of his letter. and the full
terms Of the settlement when reached, in
every daily newspaper in the city be-
cause Of the misrepresentation of the
departments attitude and action in the
matter"
While the commission let il be clearly
known that il will not permit itself TO be
censured by Mr.. McAdoo. ii was pointed
out that the letter had been published in
most of the daily papers yesterday, as the
terms of the settlement were likely TO be
without expense TO any one.
IL is expected that the real estate eX-
perts for the government and the city VIII
agree that the value of the easement Is
nominal They held a preliminary con-
ference yesterday, but will meet again to-
day and probably determine the valuation.
The first valuation OF 100000, given by
Horace ). Ely & Co, the government
appraisers. did not take into considera-
ton the restricted title to the property.
Joseph p. Day and a representative of the
Douglas Robinson, Charles ,. Brown
Company, the city's experts, Will meet the
agents of the Ely firm at its Office, Il
Liberty st.
The biggest factor i'm the settlement
now appears to be the suggestion OF AS
sistant United States Attorney Knox,
who is in charge of the legal phase oil
the case for the government. that the
city should provide platforms or other
nroper facilities In the tunnel under the
postoffice for transferring the mails In
the subway cars. This would mean a
considerable expense in construction
work. but il is thought likely that the
city will agree TO the plan provided the
real estate valuation is only nominal
The width of the easement under the
Federal Building. as provided III the
original plans, is forty feet, with space
of six fee: between the tracks. 1t is not
regarded as feasible to handle the mails
through chutes coming down into the
six-foot space between the tracks, ana
il probably will be necessary to ouiid
platforms OH either side of the tunnel at
an estimated cost OF $4,000. The gov
eminent engineers conferred with the
Public Service engineers yesterday, ana
will meet again to-day to determine this
question.

SAYS OIL MEN MADE
MILLIONS BY DEAL
Government Alleges Conspiracy
Behind Sale of Glucose
Plant.

Preliminary hearings i'm the govern
ment's Sherman law dissolution SUIT
against the Corn Products Refining Com
many began Yesterday i'm the Federal
Ruildinp before Roland W. Phillips as
special master. Conspiracy to regulate
prices and destroy competition by illegal
means is alleged
Documentary evidence found In the ac-
counts of the Title Guarantee and Trust
Company yesterday, according to the
governments investigators, showed that
the Standard Oil chiefs, William Rookie
Teller. John d. Archbold, II. II. Rogers,
f.. r. Bedford and others, made millions
of dollars when they compelled the
trust" to buy out the New York Glucose
Company in 1906
The oil men, the government alleges,
held the majority stock of the glucose
company through secret voting agree
ment between the General Trading COM
pany and the Title Guarantee and Trust
COMPANY. one year previous TO the sale
the government alleges, the glucose com
panv paid dividends exceeding per cent.
When the Corn Products company bought
the STOCK OF the New 1OTh pluCoSe Noiii-
pany the profits went TO the Standard
Oil stockholders behind the General Trad
ing Company and not to the stockholders
Of the glucose company, according to the
contention of the government
The government also contends that
+. T. Bedford, who became president OF
the Corn Products Company, capitalized
the concern for $so,Ooo,01o and paid per
cent on preferred stock after Z per cent
was earned.

chants, and director in half dozen banks

nesius, whose home in Rutherford, y. j..
is one OF the towns show places, were
arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriffs
Mcdonnell, Zeltner and Harris in fraud
action brought by Paul Edward Wisch.
head Of the detective service bearing his
name Wisch alleges that the two men
and Joseph II. Rudiger swindled him out
Of $4,000 by false representations.
Schatzkn and DR.. Albanesus were re-
leased in $4,000 bail each. The Realty
and Commercial Company, in which they
ere interested. and which, IL is alleged was
the medium Of their fraud, Is also named
as a defendant.
Afidavits submitted declare that other
persons also lost money through the ex-
change of good stock in the Phoenix
Realty Company for stock valued at from
30 cents to 81 in the Realty and Com
mercial Company, OF which Rudger was
president. The number Of alleged vic
tins is said TO be large. as all the hold
ers of stock in the Phoenix company were
invited TO make the exchange.
Wisch. whose detective agency does the
work of the New York. New Haven &

tons. says that in 1910 he was the owner
Of $4,000 worth of the stock Of the
Phoenix Realty Company. whose offices

corporation with a capital of s2,OOO,OO0
and that it owned and had on lease apart
ment houses and loft buildings paying
large profits and valued at s2,236,6SS.
The detective declares Schatzkin and
Rudiger induced him TO exchange his
Phoenix stock for that of the Realty and
Commercial company, though the latter
corporation did not own the property the
defendants said it owned. Wisch states
that the stock he got in exchange had
little or no value, that 200 shares were
sold in the fall OF 1913 by the Sheriff of
Hudson County. ~ J., at so cents each.
The detective says that on July II last
Schatzkin. as treasurer Of the Realty and
Commercial company. filed report with
the State Controller giving the stock value
as 81 share.
one Of the affidavits furnished by Wisch
is made by DR.. William Freile, who says
he paid 81 1000 for 100 shares OF Phoenix
and received in exchange what was repre-
scented to be $4,000 worth Of stock in the
other company. He also advanced the
company 1000 on a note, which has been
renewed from time TO time.

EXCHANGE PROBES
STOPPANI FAILURE
Committee of the Consolidated
Inquiries Into Causes of the
Arrest of Brokers.

The failure Of the brokerage firm OF
Stoppani & Hotchkin and disclosures con-
corning their business methods. resulting
i'm the arrest of the TWO partners, we're
taken ND yesterday by committee of
the Consolidated Stock Exchange. The
committee met in the offices of Park,
Potter & Co, certified public accountants,
who made the examination OF the firm
books
No member of the committee would
discuss the matter. but il is understood
that the purpose OF the examination was
TO ascertain if any rules or the exchange
had been violated or evaded by the brOk
eTs.
Many letters have been received by
Leon Lauterstein, counsel for the as
signee from persons in various parts Of
the state who had left stock certificates
in the care of the firm. Until reports Of
a shortage of 100000 worth of stocks
found their. way into print the writers Of
the letters had considered themselves safe
from any loss, as they were not marginal
operators.
Although the accountants who have ex-
amined the books have found several resi-
dents Of Manhattan who appear to be in
the same boat with the cash customers of
the branch in Brooklyn, where warrant
was issued for Stoppani and Hotchkin,
none of them has yet gone to District At
torney Whitman. Several complaints
have been made at his office but all of
them by persons who bought or sold on
margin.
1t is probable that the case against the
brokers will be postponed when ii is
called in the Butler St police court,
Brooklyn. next Thursday. Both Terence
j. McManus and Peter +. Smith, counsel
for Stoppani & Hotchkin. said yesterday
that il was their intention TO fight the
case in the police court.
