WASHINGTON, May 1.-Postmaster
General Burleson to-day refused to
accede to the request of Clarence H
Mackay, president of the Postal Tele-
graph Company, that the government
relinquish at once it's control over the
Postal land lines.
In letter to Mr.. Mackay the Post
master General said that TO turn back
the Postal properties TO private opera
ton now would create a condition of
unfair competition between the Postal
company and the lines remaining un-
der government control.
viii Wait on Congress
The Postal land wires would be re-
tanned under Federal control until
Congress enacts legislation making
way for the return Of all the wire lines
to private operation, MIR. Burleson
said. His letter reads
"Replying to your telegram of the
Both, you are advised that the public
interest requires that the telegraph
and telephone systems now being
operated under government control are
to be handled as one proposition until
Congress takes some action with re-
spect to them.
"To do as you request would result
in the wires under government control

corporation in those parts of the coun-
try where traffic is most profitable, and
leaving the burden of giving to the
public under comprehensive schedule
Of rates a nationwide telegraph SER

Predicts Future Profits
This would enable your corporation
to take the profitable business and
continue to disregard the equally i'm
portant but more costly service for the
entire country.
"The interest of the public service
must be guarded before private inter-
est can be considered. The business
of your company is in no way jeopar-

troll, and under no circumstances will

was too late for an investigation, that
before one could get under way, some

After obtaining Burke's pedigree and
wringing from him the statement that
he was not living with his wife and
four children, Mr.. Moss recalled that
Burke has testified that when he first
met Thompson he told him that it was
he who had sent him the mysterious in

tilted, was untrue, that the man VINO

Didn't Take Policy Kings
$50, Declares Ma. Who
Is Accused by Thompson
of Offering S5OO,OOO
Many Rows at Session
Deposition by Stanchfield
Says Senator Wanted d
a Traction Investigation

Staff Correspondence
. ALBANY, May Ito days session of
the investigation into the half million
dpllar slush fund charges made by
Senator George F. Thompson consisted
of a series of rows between Frank
Moss, counsel for Thompson, and Rich
ard H. Burke, accused by Thompson
of having told him the fund was at
his disposal if he would support the
Carson Martin bill.
Burke, while being grilled by Moss,
denied that he had been dropped from
the Goddard Anti-Policy Society for
receiving $3.50 graft monthly, and also
denied that he had been dismissed as
inspector of the Aqueduct Police on
charges of grating and permitting
liquor to be sold at the commissary.
During one of the many rows Mr.. Moss,
answering Senator Loring Black, ex
.claimed: "Thc real thing is, Who are
telling the truth-Burke and ex-Gov
ernor Whitman on one hand. or Thomp
son on the other?"
Former Governor Whitman was named
by Senator Thompson as having told
Thompson that ne would have the sup
port of the traction interests if he ran
for Governor if he would support the
Carson Martin bill, which would give
the Public Service Commission the
power to increase streetcar fares.
Whitman denied the charge.
Stanchfield Deposition Read
D., Id g..
examination Jerome L. Cheney, counsel
for the committee, read into the record
the deposition of John B. Stanchfeld,
who was retained by the Interborough
during the investigation by the
Thompson committee into the traction
situation in New York during 1916,
1916 and 1917 Mr.. Stanchheld said
that he had met Senator Thompson
only twice since then.
On the first occasion, he said,
Thompson asked him to see James L.
ough, to have the traction companies
consent to Thompson heading com
mittee to investigate the finances of
the street car companies with a view to
determining if they should be given an
increase in fares.
~"Senator Thompson said" Stanch
field testified in his deposition, that
he felt that legislative committee OF
Investigation should be appointed, Of
which he would be chairman, and that
this committee, being given the power
to send for books and persons and
papers and to employ accountants and
counsel, could make a thorough in.
vestigation into the financial affairs of
the Interborough and of the B. r. T.
and if the facts developed that the ex-
penses and outgo of these companies
incident to the war had so increased
that they were unable to meet their
expenses and yield a fair return to Sc
curity holders, a report from the COM
nittee to that effect would satisfy the
public and undoubtedly some sort of
could be passed that would
enable an increase in the rates of fare
to be secured.'

mat Colonial period, for 1.-The highest
price paid for house and lot S. by $50
Ieet on Broadway In this black was
500. Some went for as low az s237.
Better days came in 1870, however,
when first class residences began to take
the place Of old taverns and rookeries.
During this epoch of realty boom tho
residents on Broadway from 2e 10 So
included Alexander Hamilton. John
Delaheld, DR.. Charlton, Peter jay
Munro widow" Livingston, widow
Allen. Robert Throup, DR.. Bailey, John
Siidell, Judge Lawrence, Col. Aquilla
Giles and Daniel Ludlow. The last three
lived on the site OF the present Exchange
Court Building.
After Gov. Jay gave up his residence
az the corner OF Exchange place the
Diock gave way to boarding houses In
1909 the whole plot was occupied by the
Feueral bonded warehouses. Later this
gave way to an Office building bearing
me name of the present structure.
Nprmer Governor Flower and many
prominent bankers and brokers had their
ofnces there. That building was torn
down In 1900 and was replaced by the
present one.
