Forrest has letters regarding th4 meeting which Eugene D. Wood wrote to John A. Hea-neasy. ')'-'. This is the meeting at which 8ulier and his friends aVer the impeachment waa planned.

GoV. Glynn recently said that he was at the meeting, but that only the hydro-electric bill and the direct primaries bill were discussed. "I fought like 4 tiger for the nyaro-electric bllL" he declared. Now For rest wants to know why he fought for a bill which, according to Forrest, was passed by both houses of the Legislature at least elojven days before the New York meeting. I do not remomber the date or we meeting in New iYork," the Governor said.

when the letter was called to his attention. I think, however, it waa before the Legislature aojournew. never was at any conference where the impeachment of Mr. bulser was planned." I orresi jener iu i The letter wr t.ten by Eugene D. Wood to John A.

Hennessy bl-ars no date, but the envelope in wnms was muuea ia date of May 18j and shows that the conference wsl held at Delmonico 8 on May 14. The Legislature had ad- journed on May and the hydro- I electric bill had (passed Voth branchea. The people of the BtaU would like to have you tell them tae necessity of going Into a (conference with Murphy, McCabe. McCall, McCooey, and Wagner to fight like a tiger for that which already bad boon passed by the Legislature. When Forrest handed out the letter be said Mr.

I say that they vollated the I Highways law over and over again, maintain that ttey delegated themselves out existence and let a messenger do their work for them. It is not of interest to me whether they assume the responsibility of this deputy. That isn't the point.

The point la that thev violated their oaths of office. They neglected to perform the duties enjoined by I law. That Is a misdemeanor. I Do you know what Bensel, Reel, and Peck did? While they were drawing salaries as Commissioner of Highway they let Foley, their messengiW, hand out 318 contracts. Only eight of these contracts were advertised.

Tho 818 contracts ran tip to Foley handed them out right and left "At the end of the year the three Commissioners got together and In less than one hour they O. all those 318 contracts. They did not call a single witness to find out whether the contracts had been carried out They did not examine a single specification to see whether the State of New Kork paid double or six! times too much for the repair work. They Just signed $3,000,000 worth of contracts, all in less than an hour and without asking any questions. Cells It an Outrage.

I'll tell the Attorney General what I think about this matter. Bentel, Reel, and Peck might Just as well have been tn Europe and come back at the end nf tha vear land O. K'd Foler'e work. THIEVES ATTACK A CLERK. ji i Knock Lad Unconscious and Rob Drug Store Cash Register.

Victor Ftnkolsteln, 1 years old, was In charge of the drug store of his brother, Otto Flnkelsteln, at 1,760 Walker Avenue In the Bronx, late last night when four young men entered. One of the men asked the youth for a toilet article, aad Flnkelsteln stepped te the roar of the store. When be returned and faced the men one of them pointed a revolver at him. While the man with the revolver menaced the clerk, the others took 940 from the cash register. Then they warned Flnkelsteln to keep bis bands above his head until they were out of sight 21a disobeyed that order as goon as the men started to leave the store, and one of them returned and struck him on the head with the butt of a revolver, knocking him unconscious.

A man who had been a passenger en a Walker Avenue trolley car found Flnkelsteln lylnar on the floor, and Policeman -McCarthy of the Westchester Station and Dr. J. S.

Toronto Already Has 25,000 In City Streets, i "Although reinforced concrete poles have been the subject of -experiment from time to time for a great many years. It is comparatively recently," says a writer in The Electrical Worhl, that they have been employed or even seriously considered. The high and constantly increasing cost ef wooden poles, their comparatively short life, with consequent prospective renewal at greater expense, as well as the demand of the public for the beautlficatlon of city streets, render the consideration of concrete pole construction desirable for modern overhead systems.

A number of successful installations of concrete poles have been made in the last five or six years on this continent and in Burope. The largest pole installation at present is that of 5,000 concrete poles set up in connection with the municipal street-lighting and general light and power distribution of the hydro-electric system in Toronto, Canada. "The appearance of an overhead installation can be greatly Improved by using a pole of neat and uniform construction, such as Is obtainable by the use of concrete. With a suitable lighting system and arrangement for overhead a pleasing and ornamental effect can be obtained at substantially the same cost as when wooden poles are used, and there is also the prospective saving in maintenance expense. FEAR FOR DESERTED MAN.

Knutter Has Brooded Since His Wife Left with Another. Special to Tke A'eto York Timtt. MKTUCHEN, N. Jan. 25.

Persons living in the Borough of Middlesex have appealed to Prosecutor George Silser of Middlesex and Judge Peter F. Daly of the Middlesex County Court to Inquire into the mental condition of Daniel Knutter, who is said to have been acting strangely since his wife ran away to Scotland nearly two years ago with James Dunbar of Bound Brook, taking with her the money obtained from the sale of the Knutter borne. this happened Knutter gave up a good place with the Lovgar Steel Works at Dunellen. N. and went to live with hie mother at Seabury's Mills near Greenbrook.

Judge Daly and Prosecutor Silser bave referred the case to the Greenbrook authorities, who have denied responsibility for Knutter. His mental condition has been growing worse and his neighbors fear he will do barm to himself. their salaries and I am going to insist that the Grand Jury investigate this outrage." Whitman was much pleased with Osborne's attitude. If there is any prosecution Whitman will watch developments carefully. He is watching the graft prosecutions tn all parts of the State.

In one county, other than Albany County, particularly Interesting developments are expected. In this county. It Is expected, two Indictments will be handed up In the road graft investigation. John A. Henncasy is responsible for this Investigation and Whitman, it Is believed, will profit by the developments.

Whitman will bring great pressure to bear thia week on James O. Shaw, a stone quarry man who received J41.250 in bills from an aqueduct contractor and gave the money to a stranger, and upon James C. Stewart, the contractor, who testified that he was held up for 6 per cent of a 13,000.000 contract on the Barge Canal. James E. Gaffney has much Interest in the work Whitman plana this week.

Shaw has refused to swear that he gave tho package of bills to Gaffney and Stewart has refused to Identify the man who held him up, other than to say that he represented himself to be James K. Gaffney. Whitman seeks to prove that fourteen politicians worked together to loot the State. If he can lay such a conwplracy charge before the Grand Jury, It was raid yesterday, all of the members of the Canal Board will be called as witnesses. The alleged conspiracy, it is said, involves grafting on contracts let by the Canal Board, the State Highway Department and the Board of water Supply of this city.

What Senator O'Gersnen Did. Almuth C. Vandlver of the law firm of O'Gorman, Battle made this formal statement last night regarding the attempted hold-up of James C. Stewart, the contractor: I want to correct a statement which appeared in the press this morning to the effect that our firm was first retained to represent the Stewart Brothers at the time of the occurrences to which Mr. Stewart has recently testified.

The fact Is that Stewart Brothers have been clients of our firm for twelve years. Senator O'Gorman's attention was first called to the matter by Mr. James C. Stewart. In a casual way, on the night of Dec.

21. at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, in New York City, after the close of the Sulser dinner. On the following Monday the Senator obtained Mr. Stewart's permission to convey the Information to Mr. Sulser, then Governor-elect and on Friday, Dec.

27, 112. the Senator called at Governor Sulzer's office. 115 Broadway, New York City, and told the Governor what bad been told to him by Mr. Stewart Furthermore, the Senator never communicated with Mr. Charles F.

Murphy concerning this matter, either directly or indirectly, nor did any other member of our firm. The Senator did not see Mr. Murphy between the time of tho Syraouse Convention. In September, 1912. at which Gov.

Suiter was nominated, and the inauguration of President Wilson, in Washington, In March. 1513- Our client Mr. James C. Stewart called on Mr. Murphy immediately after the incident in question, and on the day it occurred.

My information Is that Mr. Murphy told Mr. Stewart that he knew nothing whatever about the matter. Three weeks later Senator O'Gorman heard of the Stewart incident for the first time. The foregoing states Sen-stor O'Gorman's entire connection with this matter." Box of Choice Cut Flowers 50 Cents From Grower to Consumer.
