way accident of January 6.
"A member of the Holbrook company,
a Mr.. Clark. was once connected with
the Public Service Commission" Mr..
Quackenbush said heatedly. "Thc com
missions engineers did not report the
fusing of the cables which caused the
accident, and which was brought about
by the workmen of the Holbrook com
pany in their drilling in West Forty
second Street. There has been con-
spiracy of silence TO prevent blame be-
ing fixed where it belongs"
lie Roy Hardness, OF counsel for the
commission. told the lnterborougn
counsel that no substantiation Tor sucn
charges had been given, and that II
there were any proof the matter should
be taken to the courts.
"If the commission wants me TO in
yestigate its engineers will" retorted
Mr.. Ouackenbush "As a matter OF
fact ! have already put detectives on
the case and intend to keep them there.
We want 20 know exactly who is en-
pIoyed by the Holbrook company. That
company knew OF the accident in the
manhole in West Forty-second street
and its relation 10 the subway accident
all the time"
Mr.. Quackenbush told the commits
sion that ne had taken new evidence

Senator Thompson has told the Gov
ernor he did not believe such charges
should be preferred by the committee.
Whoever makes the charges, the
Governor will be obliged to serve the
accused with a copy of them and give
him ten days in which to appear for a
hearing. After the hearing the Gov
crnor is the sole judge OF whether re-
moval shall follow or not.
The witnesses examined by the com
mittee at the public hearing in CITY
Hall Yesterday proved great drawing
card. While Mayor Mitchell was giving
his views as to the work of the com
mission and of the law many were
standing in the back Of the room.
Then there was the caustic critic oil

Railroad. who glories in the fact that
he has dcfied its orders. lie told ms
opinion OF the body in general, and
particularly the one first appointed by
Governor Hughes, in terms so rlch IN
expressions Of supreme contempt that
the members of the committee could
not keep their faces straight.
Other witnesses were President Nc
Anenv of the Board Of Aldermen and
former Commissioners William McCar-
roll and Edward NJ. Bassett These
three and Mayor Mitchell agreed that
the law as a regulatory instrument
should not be changed.
McCarroll Opposes Change.
Mr.. NcCarroil was the only one who
did not believe that by January !,
1918. the construction work should he
taken from the state commission and
turned over TO the city government.

Issue of $250.OO0 shall be f1oated for

County prosecuting attorney has been
instructed by the county commission

last election several years ago the
county's business has increased and
the need for more and better accom-

necessary. The attitude of voters
throughout the county apparently has
been changed, and when the matter
comes up next November the propo-
Eition doubtless will be favored.
To show JUS. how inadequate is the

that three county officials have to be
