FLYNN AVOIDS CONTEMPT.

NEW YORK, March 81 (Pl.-William
j. Flynn. Bronx commissioner Of public
works, resumed the witness stand at
today's public hearing OF the Hofstadter
Legislative Committee investigating
city affairs and answered questions he
previously had refused 10 answer, there
by avoiding contempt sentence.
Flynn was cited in the Supreme Court
for contempt and Samuel Seabury,
counsel to the committee, yesterday
filed with Supreme Court Justice John
Ford an order for a 30-day Jail sentence
for the commissioner. The justice,
however, deferred signing it upon a
statement by Flynn'S counsel that the
commissioner was willing now to answer
questions, thus purging him of con-
tempt.
The questions concerned chiefly
property Flynn bought in the Bronx
and on which were erected multiple ga
RACES which, he said, had provisions for
81 cars and were not public garages.
Meanwhile, District Attorney Thomas T.
c. Grain today directed Harold w. Hast
ings, his assistant in charge OF the In
oictment Bureau, to investigate charges
by Flynn that Louis H. Willard, a re-
cent witness before the committee, was
guilty of perjury in his testimony re-
lating to Flynn and that Seabury was
guilty Of subornation OF perjury in the
same connection. Wizards testimony
was to the effect that persecution by
Flynn ruined him financially and caused
Mrs. Willard to commit suicide.

position by voting on the floor to leave
out of that bill the clause prohibiting
normal salary promotions, but retaining
the restriction on new appointments.
The basis of agreement which the Agr1-
cultural confereeS are understood to be
considering is in line, therefore, with
this subsequent House action on the
Treasury Post Office bill. There has
been no indication as to the nature OF
the change which may be made in the
clause relating to vacancies.
The House provision regarding pro-
motions sought TO prohibit any in
creases in compensation within grades
of the classification act or re-alloca-
ton OF positions, such as might accom-
pany promotions resulting from deaths
or designations. The other clause would
prohibit new appointments, except in
essential cases with the written ap-
proval of the President. Government
officials told the Senate Appropriations
Committee several weeks ago that the
departments are. already practicing
rigid economy in the matter of promo
tionS and appointments, but that they
felt department heads should have
more leeway in determining these per-
sonnel problems than would be possible
under the proposed restrictions.
Two additional Pennsylvania Repre-
sentatives today expressed themselves
as opposed to blanket cuts in Federal
salaries They were Milton w. Shreve
Of Erie and Patrick j. Sullivan of Pitts
burgh Republicans. Shreye said that

General Education Board,
Rockefeller Endowed, Makes
Yearly Report.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March SLIGHT on
the investment policies pursued by
John D. Rockefeller's economic ad-
visers in the l2-month period ended
last June 80 was furnished today.
The annual report of the General
Education Board, which was set up in
1902 by the dean of the American oil
industry, was made public The re-
port covered the period Of extensive
stock market liquidation between June
80, 1880. and June 80, 1881. 1t showed
that the board. like many other in
vestors. had held tightly to its COM
mon stock holdings through this deluge
Of general selling.
Bonds Are Shifted.
However, the board made consid-
cradle changes in its holdings of bonds.
The principal trend. judging from the
summarized form of the report made
available, was to shift investments into
bonds maturing at an early date.
Total investments on June 80. 1881,
were S77,472,83 of which $34,154 COS
was invested in bonds and $43,318,227
in stocks. The percentage of the boards
investment in bonds rose during the
period from 38 per cent to AZ per cent
Of the total as of June 30, 1881. This
reflected the relatively faster drop in
stock prices than in bond prices.
Other Stocks Held.
The boards investments in stocks in
clude a large number of Mr.. Rockefel-
ler'S long favored Standard Oil COM
mon stocks, but provide, however, for
wide diversification through its holdings
of common stocks of other leading in
dustrial, utility and railroad corpora
tions.
The board operates the fund from
which large appropriations are made
for educational purposes.
