JOHNSON WANTED A WRIT But Justice Cullen Decided Not to Grant It. Ilie District Attorney Continues to Cbject to the lloapportionnicnt Decided on by flic Hoard of and Maintains That Wards Mioni Sot Be Separated Outline or Argument on Both Sides. This afternoon Jesse Johnson movo boforo Justice Culien, sitting in special term of tho supremo court, for another writ of mandamus in the assembly apportionment ease. Somo time ago a writ of mandamus was asked for to compel the supervisors to reapportion tho county. It was denied by tho special and the genera: terms.

Tnu court of appeals granted it, howevor. Then the supervisors met and reapportioned tho assembly districts. The present writ was sought on the aliagatloa that thoy have not obeyed the court's icanuate. Oa tho argument to day Mr. Johnson dordnred that the assembly districts should be' as nearly equal as possible in the matter of population and tiiat they should be convenient and contiguous.

Iu their apportionment tho supervisors had divided the wards. Mr. maintained that they had no right to do this, as a ward should be considered iu the iia ht of a town. In short, counsel said the board had not complied with the order of the court. They hnu not made tho districts equal aj to population as the writ required.

Mr. Johnson said tho nvorago for ear of tho eighteen districts would be 55.1:12, yet tho Sixth ward was mado one assembly district, wkh a population of Ji. Tho Twentv ilrst ward had a population 57,000 and yet portion of the Seventh ward had been lopped off and added to it in order to mako a district with a population of 01,000 or ii.000 more, than the proper average. The Sixteenth uistnct consisted oi Gravcsend. Fiatlands, Part of the 1 wenty sixth ward and most ol tho 'I'wsutv Hith.

In tlie return to tiia writ maudnn i'js run by lie supervisors in the Andrew I. Baird ease, the issuance of writ is admitted am', tiio turu 1hers Jr is aiso ndmlttad that the board civi ied the county into assembly districts. They say, farther, that thny have no knowledge upon to belief as to tho allegation that crtcin of tiio inhauitnuts returned 'in the districts as being inhabitants of the eountv at large are inmates of institutions.

As to the allegation that the total numbor of citizens is and thnt 1 18 of that nuir.i.er is i they claim the llguros are incorrect. Ail tho other allegations are denied. Thev dony that the assembly districts havo not been earri dd out on liie theory ol contiguous territory and they maintain that tho county was divided in a 'eordnuce with tho constitution and the decision ot the court of appeals. They den moroovor, that they had any intention of disregarding the oruer of tho court. Tito return sets out that the population of tho county, according to the last census, taken in l.S!i2, was From this was tatcon 5,203 for tho number of Inhabitants of charitable institutions, leaving Thn supervisors say they gave tho llguro of 937,874 in tl previous return because tbe.y wore unabio 'fMftscor taiu the exact number in tho varioussection districts.

Ho is Michael Smith of 10 South Main street, Providence. lie has known mo for years, but It is only within tho past few mouths that he has begun to exorcise this baleful over me."

Anderson a recent copy of tho Washington J'ost wherein was described her call on the President. The privato secretary turned her over to the police, but tho result was not toid by tho Po.s 'The worst remains to be told," she then said. "Smith exorcisos his breath power over mo nt all distances.

Anderson. This was just what tho lawyer wanted and so llogau stayed. After more talk during which Mrs. Oelaney averred that sho could show throe teeth that weru loosened by Smith's long distance lungs, tho woman left. She oft'orod a good round sum as feo.

ordora. What Presidents Flynn and Lewis Have to Say About It. THE BROOKLYN CITY OFFERED A GUARANTEE. There Is Jio Intention on the Part of (lie Com panics to Avoid Payment of the Tax on the Cross Receipts The Trolley Xow Has Enll Swing Aborc the City Hall and Cars Arc 11 lining To day on the Seventh Avenue and Put nam and Ifalsey Ilcutes Horses are Reir.g Used on Comparatively Few Lines and the Officials Who Have Had the Cliansing of Mo tive Povrcr in Send Begin to See Daylight Ahead. Prosident Lewis, speaking in relation to tho tax which tho common council imposed upon the company when it granted tho Iranchiscs for additional mileage, said.

"It seems that somo people will not understand that the tax is levied upon the actual earnings of tho Brooklyn City railroad from operation; that is, from the faros collected on the entire route. There is no at tempt upon tho part of this company to evnde the paymont of tho tax, and it has boon made very clear that tho wording of tho resolution does not moan a tax upon tho rental which tho company receives from tho Brooklyn Hoights Cable rai.road. By law that company is compelled to take upon itself all of this company's obligations. The payment of that tax will be made without cpjestion just as has been agreed upon. I havo offered to secure the payment of it in tho manner intended by a bond of the Brooklyn city railroad, bat it was not thought necessary by tho city authorities.

Of course it is not possible to Ugure oxaotly tho amount which we will have to pay to tho city, but it will be, as nearly as wo can estimate, $12,000, possibly a littlo less if tho earnings of tho railroad vary from tho estimate, or if tho increase in the miioage makes a difference in the percentage we are to pay." P. H. Flynn the Nassau Electric railroad said that it was an easy thing for people to say the railroad companies would not pay tho tax as they had agreed to do or that there was any intention to take advantage of the city by uncertain wording in tho resolution. It was sufficient, ho thought, that tho citv was satisfied with tho arrnngoment after having tho taxation clause carefully examined by the city's counsel. Tho tax which his company will pay to the city ho thinks will be between 15,000 and 620,000.

The Putnam avenue line of the Brooklyn City raiirond was operated for the first this morning by the trolley system. President Lewis said that for somo time he has boen receiving letters from people who use that lino of cars, asking how much longer they would bo compelled to Wait before thev OOuld Secure thn ndvnntni.nc rf tho trolley.

Talk of Boarders, Diamonds and a Fifth Mortgage. The Preacher's Former Counsel Testified gainst Kim To ilay in the Snit Wherein He is Charged With Running Cottages in Connection With His Gospel Work. The Bev. Dr. Putnam, tho ex pastor of tho Baptist Tabernacle, New York, and tho antagonist of the Bev.

Dr. Potter, testified again today in tho supplementary proceedings brought by Henkol coal dealers, against P.ov. Dr. Potter. P.

Elder, Dr. Potter's former lawyer, also testified to his late client's worldly possessions. Ho made somo surprising statements, and Mr. Hatton asked Dr. Putnam what source of income Dr.

Potter has outside his salary. "Boarding girls." "Bo more explicit," said counsel. "Dr. Potter ran the Young Women's homo at 225 East Eleventh street. To avoid paying rent he movod it to quarters iu the parish house.

He received 54 a week from the young women. Last May thoro were sixteen, but at present there aro only six boarders." "What do you estimate hi3 profit to havo been?" "Ho cleared S25 a woek and probably more, as ho failed to pay tho iceman and milkman." xno witness then told of Dr. Potter's nronertv at Shippewan Point, Conn. lie said the hotel brouuht in S2.200 vnnr and 31,200 was received for three other cottages. "Does Dr.

Potter collect tho rent "His wifo occupied a handsome ooitao Dr Potter proposed that she rent it and ocennv smaller cottage herself and collect the rent for hor own. Potter collected that rent and his wife never saw it." "You say Dr. Potter began counsel. "No, I said Potter. That's "cood enough for him." answered the witness.

'I. I'. Elder was then sworn. He testified that Dr. Potter wore diamonds.

Since the trouble in the church ho did not believo lir Potter had received his full salarv. "Who pays tho salary?" ''Oh, some benevolent gentlemon." He said Mrs. Potter had not boen in tho city ior three years and that Dr. Potter, he understood, ran the cottages in. Connecticut.

"Would you bolievo Dr. Potter under oath?" "I refuse to answer, on the ground as his former counsel ii would be a broach of professional etiquette." In explaining about the mortgages on the Shippewan property tho witness said: "Elder Abraham Donlko loft a legacy of SS.OOO to bo known as tho DeniKe Fund for tho Dr. Potter in 18H0 applied this fund to his porsona'l use, and Chairman of tho Board of Trustees John IL Kayser demanded the monov. Dr. Potter satd he would give him a first mortgago on the Shippewan property.

Then President Kayser found out that it was a fifth mortgage. The property was alroadv mort gaged for $20,900, and a fifth mortgago was practically worthless. President Kayser is still very angry at Dr. Potter and has threatened to prosecute him criminally for misappropriating tho fund." Tho proceedings wero adjourned until tomorrow at 10 o'clock. T.
