SINKING FUND DELAY
COSTS CITY 100000
\. Y. Dock Co. Makes a Bic
Increase in Price Of Sub
way Easement.

william r. Hahn. president Of the
New York Dock Company, informed the
Public Service Commission yesterday
hat the failure of tho municipal au-
thorlties TO act on the matter compelled
n withdrawal OF the company's offer to
sell the city an easement at the foot OF
Clark street, brooklyn. at a reduced
price IN consideration OF the sale to the
company by the city of property at the
loot Of Montague street and the foo. Of
Joralemon street. Notice was also served
on the commission that unless $500, 900
liz paid for the Clark street easement
the company will ask the commission's
subway contractor to vacate the
property.
The Public Service Commission blames
the Sinking Fund Commission for the
failure OF the negotiations. City prop
erty being involved, the consent of the
Sinking Fund Commission was needed,
but when the plan was laid before the
commission II was laid aside for further
consideration. Under the agreement the
city was to my the dock S275.-
GOO FOR the easement through the Clark
street property for the new subway tun-
mel from Old Slip To Clark street. The
company was then to purchase for dock
purposes land at Montague and .Joral-
enon streets for 500. 600. making the
net cost OF the Clark street easement
$4,000 instead ~ the $4,000 de-
manded originally.
The dock company allowed the sub
way contractor TO go ahead with the
work al the foot OF Clark street pend
Ing the reaching Of an agreement. The
dock company also proposed Il reaiign-
nient or is piers ~ that the subway
ends At C1ark street, JOralemon and Mon
taauc streets would be covered and pro-
tected. To blanket these ends with con-
crete VIII cost about 5000. 900. From
these promises tho Public Service Com
mission figured that the city would save
AZ least $500, 900 on the bargain.
The proposals came before the Sink
ing Fund Commission just before Mayor
Mitchell was stricken with appendicitis
ana this may have been responsible IN
part for the delay IT has also been in
mate that the Sinking FNInd Commits
sion was n little piqued that the ar
arrangement should have been made with

POLICY GAME ENDS;

S~yndicated policy az a business got

had just pleaded guilty To felonies hat

have some effect on his sentence next
Wednesday.
The men who pleaded guilty are Solo

and John J. saul. 50. OF I Maiden ave-
nue., Jamaica, L. l. Matthews and Saul
were hackers OF the game and met daily
In a furnished room In West Eleventh
street, where the drawings were held
Goldschmldt represented a third hacker,
who IL only identified as an East Sid
banker but whose name Is KNOWN 10
the police. Sauer WAS a writer in the
game. When the -four men pleaded
guilty they were about to go to trial
with Assistant District Attorney Weller
as prosecutor.
Justice Weeks said at the conclusion
OF the talk with the men that he was
satisfied there had been no change IN
the policy methods since the days OF
Al Adams and that the percentage In
favor OF those behind the game was
so great that 1t was never necessary
to have a fake drawing OF numbers.
The defendants old Mr., Weller a
story that up TO our years Z certain
members of the Police Department bene-
fted from the game and that II was
the custom of the hackers to make a
fund OF from 2ia to ! per cent. FOR police
officials who had permitted the games
to go on. Since four years ago they
all insist they know nothing or paying
for protection. Mr.. Weller got the
names OF a number OF writer's OF the
game and more arrests are likely.
Saul, who posed as one OF the hackers
OF the game. was a respected member

INTIMATES WOOD u
FACE OLD CHARGE AGAIN
Senator Thompson Says Commissioner May Soon Be
Explaining to Governor About Decision in Favor of
General Railway Signal Co. of Rochester.

Senator Thompson told Public Ser
vice Commissioner Wood yesterday that
In "a very short time MIR. Wood would
be telling Gov. Whitman again about a
decision made by him last year in favor
of the General Railway Signal Company
OF Rochester. At least. the Senator
said he thought 40, and It has been
observed that when the Senator thinks
something his legislative committee
usually does IL.
This intimation that charges will be
preferred against Commissioner Wood
came near the close Of a series OF Ques-
tons designed to draw from the Com
missioner an admission that he decided
in favor OF the General Railway Signal
Company because he had been closely
identified with that concern before TAX
ing office. Commissioned Wood denied
that to be the fact and insisted that al
though ~ head of a company dealing
in electrical supplies he had done busi-
ness with a number Of companies. in
GLIDING the one named. his decision as
"a Commissioner had rested on the merits
OF the case.
Most OF this was gone over by the
Thompson committee last February,
when II was disclosed that Commissioner
Wood, after hearing the several argu-
ments OF companies which were bidding
for electrical work in the Fourth ave-
u subway, Brooklyn. decided in favor
OF the General Railway Signal Company
of Rochester. At that time Commits
sioner Williams and Secretary Whitney
testified that they didn't think all was
well with that decision. Commissioned
Wood refused yesterday to express any
opinion Of the credibility OF Commits
sioner Williams or Secretary Whitney

further than TO say that they were mis-
taken.
One OF the things said by Commits
sioner Williams was that Joseph 3.
Auerbach. representing the Federal Sig.
nal Company. an unsuccessful bidder
against the Rochester concern, had told
him that IL the lease decided by Com
missioner Wood were ever reopened he
would give testimony that would startle
the community. He also said that he
had two affidavits to back up what he
would say.
After Commissioner Wood had veri-
nod this testimony yesterday Chairman
Thompson announced that he had SUBJ
ppnaed Mr.. Auerbach and his afida Wits
for this morning. The feeling that
the Thompson committee was about to
tear out tho heart OF another scandal
was somewhat deadencd later In sne
afternoon when Mr.. Auerbach sent word
that ne couldn't find the two affidav Wits
upon which his startling testimony
would be based.
Commissioner Wood said he hau
any criticisms OF his action In
this case when he was before the Gov
ernor last spring on charges. 1t was
then that Senator Thompson expressed
his thought concerning the imminent re-
appearance of Mr.. Wood In an explana-
tory capacity. Both Commissioner Wood
and Commissioned Williams sought TO
give the committee an idea Of just what
a Public Service Commissioner does,
but neither succeeded TO the satisfaction
OF Senator Thompson.
The hearing will be continued his
morning. Senator Thompson expects TO
leave for Albany In the afternoon to put
the finishing ouche on the committee
