Edward NJ. Grout, former Controller
Mayor Gaynor, told the Thompson COM
mittee yesterday that the S17,5o0 he
received from the Interborough was
for handling the dual subway contract
negotiations in June and July. 1911.
His Office register showed that he
had daily conferences from June Ia TO
July 81 with representatives OF all con-
cerned, excepting agents of the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company. He said
that at no time during this period did
he come in contact with Colonel VIII
Jams, or any one else from the i. X. i.
Among those he held conferences
with were Mayor Gaynor, J. 7. Morgan,
ir.. Henry 7. Dawson, Of Morgan &
Co; T. p. Shonts, president of the
Interborough; Controller Prendergast,
Borough President McAneny, Mayor
Mitchell, then president Of the Board

Mr.. Grout engaged in a lively argu-
ment with Frank Moss, counsel TO the
committee, over the production OF let
tiers he wrote 10 Mr.. NcAneny and Mr..
Wilcox regarding a lO-cent fare TO
Coney Island. He told Mr.. Moss they
had nothing 10 do with the investlga-
ton, and said he would not produce
them. When he believed that Mr.. Moss
was imputing he was not telling the
truth, Mr. Grout, who had been angrily
telling Mr., Moss to go on with some
other question, forgot his belligerency,
and said;
well, if you're imputing
"I'm not imputing anything" said
an bring them if there are copies
of them in my files. III bring you

Mr.. Grout told of one conference at
which he, Mr.. Wilcox and Mr.. Shonts
were present lie said Mr.. Shonts said:
"Well, go ahead and build with city
money" To which. he said. Mr.. Wilcox
rejoined: eve can't build with city
money. We haven't it, We must have
private capital-Interboroug money"
Before the hearing went on Senator
Thompson said that the committee did
not drag Mayor Gaynor's name into the
matter of visit Of man to Colonel
Williams with a suggestion that for
100000 the support Of "a member of
the Board of Estimate, now dead"
could be obtained.

Jams which was responsible for IT,"
said Senator Thompson. Colonel Will
Jams told the story to many. He was
engaged in campaign Of talk, and il
was he, and no one else, who spread
the story"
Senator Thompson said he was aware
that efforts were being made to head
of the investigation. He said he had

Urges Republicans and Moose 10
Unite on Justice.
rp, Telegraph % ne Tribune


Boston. March 3i.-"The Boston Her
aid" will declare in a double column
editorial tomorrow morning for the
nomination of Charles +. Hughes oS
the Republicans at Chicago. 1.-The Her
aid" will say in part:
Some one ma. ask, what about Sen,
ator Weeks and Governor NcCsI, OF
whose aspirations The Herald has a.,
WAYS spoken with friendly approval
They are both excellent men. We could
not be better pleased in this corner OF
the land than by the Republicans OF
the nation descending on Us for can
didate. But we know they are not GO
ing 10 do il, and we do not like TO have
the state forfeit it's larger influence by
keeping up An agitation which lacks
any real sincerity. Mr.. Weeks IS a
good Senator; Nr Mccall is good
Governor. But neither has enjoyed IN
his Office a prominence comparable
with that of other occupants of the
same Bay State posts of honor.
I'VE feel that The Herald's' past
commentator of Messrs. Mccall and
Weeks in their respective Offices has
been sufficiently warm to justify this
measure of frankness to-day. These
are occasions on which we should not
fool ourselves. In the convention al
Chicago this state and section have q
great responsibility as well az great
privilege. We should not fritter It away
in idle compliments.
"Al who purpose 70 go from the old
Bay State as delegates, whether on the
unpledged or on the Roosevelt slate
should get together in harmon Gus

man to whom all the conditions of the
day Enthusiastically point as the one
ideally fitted standard bearer of re-
united Republican party in a momen-

Thirsting for Revenge.

"All the time was thirsting for re-
vcnge on the English, and used to lie
awake at night studying how TO get
square and do something for Germany
at the same time.
Then it occurred 70 me that it
would be much simpler for a prize
crew to stow away on board ship over
here than for prize crews TO run the
British blockade. / went to Hoboken
with my plans fully formulated, and
there got together my gang, picking

ures of an amalgamation of two con-
ventions In Chicago on June and the
triumphant entry Of their old Rough
Rider leader under the banner OF an IN
hyphenated party.
The meeting OF Root and Roosevelt
at a small exclusive luncheon. where
abundant opportunity for close con-
versation was afforded. made a start
ling picture TO some of the Republican
leaders who were not forewarned.
Some Of the mouths Of the Old Guard
leaders may still be open.
IL was recalled that William Barnes,
erstwhile state Republican leader,
made gallant fight TO get resolution
through the recent Carnegie Hall con-
vention indorsing ex-senator Root for
the nomination for President and
failed. Some Of Mr. Roots friends
have declared since that Mr.. Barnes's
failure on that occasion had rankled in
the breast of the ex-senator, and that
they were now cool political friends.
Barnes's Retirement Predicted.
At any rate, the Bacon luncheon,
with its talk among friends over their
teacups, was looked upon in state po-
lltical circles as the last dreg in the
Barnes cup OF bitterness. With
probable defeat for reelection to the
Republican National Committee and
the nomination Of Roosevelt at Chicago
TO look forward TO, Mr.. Barnes's last
vestige of political power in the state
has already disappeared, in the opinion
Of the politicians.
IL was recalled, in favor of Mr..
Roots attitude as indicated yesterday,
that his original keynote speech at the
recent Carnegie Hall convention had
included the names OF Colonel Roose-
welt among others with complimentary
reference In his discussion of the sub
ject Of national preparedness. For
some reason the original Root speech
was withdrawn and the name OF Roose-
welt eliminated.
Writing on the Wall"
Mr.. Barnes and his Old Guard friends.
il was said, had prevailed upon the tenn
porary chairman Of the convention TO
cut out the Coionel's name. Il was dis
appointing to say the least to the Old
Guard yesterday, 10 see Mr.. Root now
. virtually interpret the writing on the
wall" with the name of Roosevelt.
In looking deeper for possible rea-
son for Mr. Roots friendly chat with
Colonel Roosevelt, on the Root side,
some Of the politicians declared that
the ex-senator must have become
wholly reconciled to the fact that he
could not get the Republican nomina-
tior for President. and could not be
elected IL il should be bestowed upon
him By grateful party.
IL was said that ex-senator Root
might look forward TO rounding out his
public career in the Office Of Secretary
Of state under Roosevelt. His real am
bitions might be more fully realized. il
was suggested. In that Office at time

IN the readjustment OF conditions after

II, too, have found something which may be
of service to us" said Mona after she had heard
her friends excited narrative, and duly compli-
mented her on her success. She produced bust
ness card on which Mary read the professional
announcement Of Hadj Rulu, and an invitation to
those interested to call at his fat for advice as
to business or social perplexities.
Il am going tonight " announced Mona "And
I think see way where can cooperate with
you, and we can work together"
Early that evening the two girls went
the situation carefully with Carson and Grant,
and Mona outlined the scheme which had occurred
to her when she had received the card of Hadj
Rulu from the janitor, who had been delighted to
part with it for quarter.
Mona admitted to the Hndoo's apartments
without difficulty, and found that she had been
preceded by at least a dozen Others drawn for
the most part from society. Indeed, she recog-
