Feb. 7. I have been your friend and political backer and associate ever since you bare been in politics. This man Hughes and his friends have bee against everything that I have ptood for since he was inaugurated, and if you want to stand bv me and the loyal Republicans in our district you will tell the Governor to go to hell. It la up to you.

Otto." The above appeal, made by Congress-man James W. Wadsworth, who was defeated In a solidly Republican Congressional District in the western part of the State, the Thirty-fourth, to his fellow townsman, Otto Kcley, is lesponsihie for Kelsey staying at the head of the Insurance Department in the fat of Governor Hughes demand that he get out at once. Not that Kelsey himself is not game enough to fight, but he considers the present affair too small to bother with, 'and would get out of the department at one.e if he had only himself to consider. A He was fought tooth and nail by form-'r Senator Steven, who passed out the iiponoy that defeated Wadsworth, a Republican organization candidate, in the 'strongest Republican district in the 'State and who was rewarded for what Organization men call his "treachery liy -receiving from the Governor the fattest" political job in the State, Superin- tendeut of Public Works. So Wadsworth considers that be has been ill used 'and be' is using all of bis influence to have Kelsey 'stand pat and refuse to be forced out under a cloud.

"Make Hughes show you, says Wadsworth, "and the worst you can get is to be impeached by the Senate, and then we will know just who are our friends rip there. If he is charging inefficiency him prove it, thats all." himself is saying nothing, but is doing a lot of hard thinking. To a friend he is reported to have said: The Governor wants me to get out because I fuiied to lire three departmental heads Whom he believes were concerned in past inefficient examinations, of Insurance companies. But what he fails to consider is that if these men were inefficient men under them were in the same boat and it would be necessary to train subordinates to do this work. The i men the -Governor wants removed, are the one that are absolutely familiar with ail of the routine of the office and until we get the matters growing outof the San Francisco disaster cleared up we are compelled to retain these men.

Mr. Kelsey himself would neither affirm nor deny the above report. He maintained bis attitude of dignified silence when approached and asked to talk for publication and positively declined to any mention of the affair to representatives of the press. His friends are talking for him and wbat they say about Governor Hughes and the latter's attitude would not be transmitted through the mails were it printed. Governor Hughes is worried over the him the affair has taken, but he will not talk.

At least not for. the present, any way. He intends to have Kelsey's scalp and won't hesitate to use a knife to get it, but whether he can convince a Senate investigating committee that they ought remove a man who has been associated with the Assembly for many years and who has been a commanding figure New York politiis is a question. So lie is waiting in the hope that Kelsey will clarify the situation by getting out even if in doing so be should attack the administration in a caustic letter passing on his way. President Roosevelt is reported fo have heen appealed to by the Governors right-hand man.

Congressman Herbert Pnr-, sons, to use his influence to hare the Wadsworths called off and Kelsey allowed to pet out and save the Hughes administration from being eompelled to put the Senate on record." It is definitely and absolutely settled that Superintendent of Insurance Kelsey cannot be removed by Governor Hughes unless upon charges made by the Governor to the Senate, and after a bearing before that body. If the Senute refuses to sustain the charges Mr. Kelsey will remain in olhce. Mr. Kelsey has decided not to resign and is awaiting ths Governor's further action.

Arbuckle Brohers Say Dock Slip Is Filled Up. Storm Cut Off the Source of Supply. SUFFERING FOR THREE DAYS. Bminesi Praotlcally Suspended on Account of Non-Arrival of tbe Milk Train. Borough President Sends Bill to Gov.

Hughes to Keep Politics Out A now proposition for handling the transportation question was gien to the! public- to-day by Borough President t'olor. i It consists in the nbolitiou of the pit-sent Board of itapid Transit Commissioners, nnd the conferring of all the powers of that board upon a new Transportation Board, to be elected directly by the poo-ple and in such a way that the influence of the political parties will lie nullified as far us possible. The Borough Freni-dent has had bill drawn up embodying bis views. lie bus sent this to Governor Hughes with a long letter of in the hope that the Governor may decide to take up the plan and push it. Mr.

Foler wants the new board to consist of liio members one to be elected from each borough. They are to be chosen at the geuern election of 1907 and to take office on Jun. 1 following. They will hold other four years, thus bringing the election at a time regularly when there are neither national. State or municipal elections.

Each member will draw a salary of $12,000, and the hoard will hare entire contiol of the transit situation. In order to keep the hoard from becoming a mere uppendange to the political organizations. Mr. Coler specifies that the members shall not be elected in the manner in which all other officers are chosen, but that a special ballot shall he used for filling the place. This ballot shall not have the names or emblems of any political parties upon it.

and any citizen wlm is nominated by petition of 1,000 voters shall hne bis name upon the ballot. The petitions hall not be legal If they bear the uame or emblem of anv party. In this way Mr. Coler hopes to be aide to break up all political influence in the transportation question. In his letted to the Governor the Borough President condemns the loop as a scheme which would make the confusion worse nt the 31anhattau end of the Brooklyn Bridge, lie refers to much of the agitation of the subject iu Brooklyn as tom-tom beating, and declares that most of what passes for public opinion in this borough is jiiRt noise.

I think the present board should be nbolished, says Mr. Coler, simply because as an institution it is un-American in spirit, haying no responsibility to the city whose money it expends. He ndds that the duties of tin- Board of Estimate are now su9eiently onerous and that the duties of the Rapid Transit Board should uot be thrust upon it. The plan to have the Governor appoint the new commission he condemns as violating the spirit of home rule. FUNERAL SERIES HELD ERR ELMER S.

"Look for the woman," the Fremli say, aud it is the woman in the tragedy Evelyn Ncsbit Thaw who, when she tells her story, will strip the case of all its doubts and speculation', and leave one fact for the jurv to determine were the relations of Evelyn Xes-hit to Stanford 33hite sufficient to Jill Thaw with a consuming hatred which finally bnrst into temporary mildness nnd made the killing of the architect au act of an insane person? The lawyers decided that Eiciyn should lie the chief witness to-duj.

She will tell of tile trip to Europe and of Thaw's proposal. Then will come the story of the refusal, and in telling it she will make known the reason for Iter refusal the reason which, the counsel sav, made Harry Thaw bitterly hate the anhitect. Evelyn will tell the jurv what she wrote in that note the Cafe Martin three hours before 33'hite was shot.

Some of these notes are undated, but thev w.U throw a light on the regard with which the artist giodel held the man whose money and in-tiuenie, advanced herein the world of art.

1 he jroseeution will seek to show that it was Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, who prompted her husband's hatred of 33'hite, and that the killing was, therefore, nothing but a desire for revenge. By these same tokens the defense will endavor to prove that Thaw's mind bei-ame temporarily unbalamd bv brooding over what he had learned and his wifes feelings toward Thaw paced nervously up and down the narrow confines of the prisoners pen waiting to be called to the trial room. His face was ghostly and the dark splotches on his face ouly accentuated the chalky palor of his skin. I he Tombs guard said he had scarcely slept at nil daring the night.

TOLD JURY TO FREE THAW, IS PROMPTLY ARRESTED. 3Yliile the Thaw jury was marching from the Broadway Central Hotel to-dav to the Criminal Court Building Thomas Palmer, a street cleaner, stopped shoveling snow in a cart and in a loud voice yelled, Hey fellers, here comes the Thaw jury. i The Thaw jury, continuing their walk dow ntown, came abreast of the group of shovelers, when Palmer once more yelled: "Now. boys, go to it. Get together and acquit Thaw.

Captain Lynch, of the court squad, who has the jury in charge, ordered the street cleaner arrested and brought into court for arraignment The captain said he wanted to scare the street cleaner a little. 33'ben brought before Judge Fitzgerald the prisoner was severely reprimanded and discharged.

The Williamsburg Bridge is to be put to work next September, so far as the operation of elevated trains across it is concerned, according to advices to-dny from the Bridge Department. Commissioner Stevenson has advertised for bids for the construction of an elevated railroad connection on the plaza between the bridge and the Broadway elovated road, and tbe time specified for the completion of the work is Aug. 30 next. How much work the big structure will do without the Manhattan loop that Brooklyn citizens contend will alone make it serviceable will only be shown after the trains are running.

The present contract merely provides for getting the elevated trains on the bridge from tbe Brooklyn system, and does not take cars of them after they rench the new terminal at Delaney street At the present time the construction of the $3,000,000 underground terminal at the Manhattan end ot the bridge is in progress, and the engineers estimate that it will be completed about the time tbe elevated connection on the plaza is ready for use. Should tbe estimates of the Bridge Department be too optimistic, the use of the bridge by elevated trains might be delayed until the fourth anniversary of the completion of the structure in December. The distance to be covered by tbe new elevated connection on the plaza is between two and three blocks. The amount of security asked for the faithful performance of the work is $30,000.

Feb. have just broken out in the plant ot the Jerome Taper Mills in Water street, Norwalk, and a serious fire is threatened, the firemen being handicapped Ilf the snow.

In common with the other boroughs of the city and its envirods Brooklyn is short on milk. The storm is to blame, the great fall of snow has blocked practically all of the channels of delivery entering the Metropolis. As a result all over town and especially in the tenement house districts, there has heen for the last three days riot only Inconvenience, but downright suffering. Condition are improving to-day anff by to-morrow the large wholesale and retail ntilk houses expect to resume normal delivery. The president of one of the largest milk companies, iu his Fulton street office, said to-day: For nearly forty-eight hours, following the great storm, the milk business here, throughout tho State, aud nil over New England, was paralyzed.

Milk trains were unable to come in. This caused practically a suspension of the business, for the demand is so great that the immense quantities of milk pouring Into the city each day from the country districts is barely sufficient for the days consumption. 3Ve cun only wait till the tracks are cleared and traffic has resumed- normal conditions. In tliis borough proper," added the speaker, we were unable to make deliveries in anything like schedule time. Ordluorily all of our daily deliveries are made before 10 oclock in tbe morning.

Similar conditions were reported by other dealers, large and small. One of these said: This city depends upon all tbe country up as tar as the St. Lawrence for its milk supply and when the sources are in any way temporarily checked or choked, all of -u mtre suffer together. That -fe just what we have heen doing since Tuesday, but relief fe here, and beginning to-morrow deliveries will be made as promptly as ever.

Most of us have been able to make some kind of a delivery to our- largest buyers, but it was only intermittent and on Tuesday and Wednesday It waa a nearly impossible task. Fortunately for us we get nearly all of our milk In' Orange only fifteen mile away, ntd succeeded In getting most of daily hough much Uter, of course, than usual.

The experience did not tend to Improve the temper of Brooklyn. Housewives, bakers bartenders, hospital nurses nnd countless other felt that they suddenly had been despoiled of a necessity.

7. There was a hearing on the osteopathy bill this afternoon before the Senate Committee on Public Health. Former Borough President Martin W. Littleton of Brooklyn appeared in behalf of the Osteopaths and made a strong argument In favor of the passage of their bill. The Osteopaths find themselves in better position this year than at any time aince they first came here looking for recognition nine years ago.

They are supported this year by the homeopaths and the eeleeties, who are making common warfare against the allopaths, and in order to best protect themselves against the provisions of the unity bill, which provides for one board of State medical examiners to be controlled by the allopaths, thev are indorsing the osteopaths, and will no doubt help them to get recognition.
