Mr , Stone further said : " 1 have never
heard Schley's namn mentioned as a possi
ble candidate for president , except In news
paper gossip. I never thought this wan
crlous and do not think the last report Is
nny more serious than the others. I have
% never thought of Schley as anything hut a
bravo naval officer. This talk about my beIng -
Ing for him is rot. I am for Bryan. "

NEW YORK , Aug. 11. The Mnzct
live Investigating committee adjourned toda
until September 12. Assemblyman Hoffman
the democratic member of the committee li
attendance , objected to the adjournment , bu
he was outvoted 4 to 1 by the rcpubllcaj
members of the committee. Superlntcndcn
William A. Butler , who Is In charge of th
city records , was called to the stand fo
the purpose of showing , If possible , that con
tracts for the city printing were let ou
through favoritism , but the witness was ftrn
and convincing In his statement that all con
tracts wore let out on bids. Henry S. Kcar
ney , commissioner of buildings , lighting nn <
supplies , testified regarding the Issuance o
permits for allowing the Metropolitan fine ti
put In electric ducts along that road ,
Taken Compan ; 'n Word.
IMr. Kearney acknowledged that he though
that the company had ( secured about 60 poi
cent excess In ducts , but said ho had allowei
It because the company had declared It wn :
necessary.
11. T. Rokeby , president of the Uvnldi
Asphalt Paving" company , which Is doing i
Inrge amount of work for the city depart
ment , was the first witness of the afternoon
"Is there some of the material which wai
used on the Troy contract In this city a
present ? "
"That I cannot say. "
"Who was the contractor In charge of thi
Troy Job ? "
"Kavanaugh. "
"Is it not a fact that 12,000 yards of asphal
laid In the city of Troy were taken up am
rclald thcro ? "
"I don't know , but I heard there had beet
BOtno trouble about the asphalt there. I
was a poritlcnl Job. "
"Who Is the politician ? "
"One was named Wilson , another namcc
Kavanaugh and the third the city englncei
of Troy. They were nil Interested In th (
Job. It was unfortunate that they had any.
thing to do with my asphalt. All complaint !
were due to Incapacity of those who were
using the process. "
WnK Aot One of the Fnvorltoi.
Witness said ho could never get an op
portunity of laying pavements here while
Mr. Brookfleld or Mr. Collls were commis
sioners of public works.
"I would like to compare their attitude
with that of the present commissioner ,
Keating " began the witness , when Mr.
Moss stopped him.
"I am going to talk , " shouted the wit
ness. "You cannot put welds Into my mouth.
You would put me in a wrong position In
five minutes. "
"Hold on. " shouted Mr. Moss.
"No , I won't. You have. ' the reputation
of 'browbeating ' witnesses , but you can't
browbeat me worth a cent. "
Rokoby said as the purpose of the com
mittee seemed to bo to "hound Tammany
hall , " ho wished to contrast the manner
Inwhich Independent concerns were treated
by the Tammany administration as com
pared wltth the republican administration.
He said that 'Mr. ' Brookfleld and General
Collls refused to permit him to lay a sec
tion of his pavement free in this city In
order' ' that his company could get a reputa
tion for asphalt here.
Ellas Luccl said he wanted to start a
fruit stand under the bridge and saw Su
perintendent Kennedy and a politician
named Joseph Hayes about the matter.
Hayes , according to witness , said he would
flx It for $400. Witness said he paid $50
to 'Hayes ' and afterward gave him a check
for $200 In Kennedy's presence. He was
told he could have the stand as long as
Tammany was in power. Witness produced
a paper signed with an undecipherable name
giving Joseph Hayes permission to sell
fruit under the bridgo. He also produced
a similar permit signed by Commissioner
Moore , which the latter did not recognize.
Illn Stand Ilnil Ileeii Moved Atvay.
Witness said Kennedy told him It was
better to have the permit made out In
Hayes' name. Luccl said he spent $800 to
'build ' the stand and purchase fruit and
flcAters for three months. That he cnmo
around ono morning nnd found that his stand
had been carted nway.
John H. Slattery , > who has the contracts
for doWers and grading and constructing at
Bellevue hospital , said that one contract
was glvin him 'by the commissioners and two
others were awarded by public bidding. He
said he la prcoident of the Home club , of
which the mayor , John F. Carroll , and Mr.
Slattery of H organ & Slattery are original
members.
J. P. Keating , commissioner of highways ,
wtts asked If he had brought the Information
regarding the Issuance of treasury orders
for work done without competitive bidding.
"Yes , there.It . is , " he said , pointing to five
large folios on the ( leak.
"Will you prepare us a statement ? "
"No ; If you have money to epctid In send
ing men around to visit 'brothels and pool
rooms you can pay for clerks to copy It
from the 'books. "
Mr. Keating finally agreed to prepare a
statement.
Mr. S , E. Woodhull , an Insurance broker
of Brooklyn , told bow ho had been held up
by two men on Front street nt midday and
rebbed of a watch and chain. He complained
to the police , but they took no interest in
the matter.
At the conclusion of this testimony the
lommlttee adjourned until September 12.
Mr. Moss Is at work on n statement on the
ft-ork of the committee nnd said he would
not have it completed for some time.

Said o Up tinAKKrCKiilr of I'ollclon
un Ilfe of 1'rliiciof Wnlrn.
A big insurance man In New York told
a Chicago Record correspondent that the
prince of Wales was the heaviest risk of any
patron of the Insurance huslness , nnd that
his death would cost English , German ,
French and American companies not less
than $10,000,000.
"No other person carries 20 per cent of
that insurance , " be sold , "but comparatively
little of It Is for the benefit of his family ;
perhaps not more than 11,000,000. Some
years ago largo policies were taken out by
his creditors as security for money loaned ,
If he should ever pay his debts they would
of course revert to him , and might too car
ried for the benefit of his family , but bin
premiums , like the premiums on all of the
royal families of Burope , nro very high
much higher than those paid by private In
dividuals for the saino amount of insur
ance ,
"It Is a curious fact , " continued my In
surance friend , who spends a good deal of
hla tlmo Jn nngland , "that $2,000,000 or
13,000,000 of Insurance , pel haps more than
that , has been placet ] on the life of the
prince of Wales as u speculation by per
sons who do not know him and have never
had any relations with him whatever. This
would not bo possible- under the Insurance
laws ot the United States , but Is is allowed
fay some of the English companies. Over
there any man can secure a policy on the
life of a neighbor , provided ho can persuade
the neighbor to submit to a medical ex
amination or find a company which has re
cently had him examined , Thus when the
Prlnco of Wales undergoes an examination
for insurance lots of speculators apply to
the same company for policies on his life ,
or get certified copies of the report of this
medical examiner and use them with other
companies. It is pure speculation. They
pay a high premium , a margin , so to speak ,
or , to put It In another way , they book a
wager with the Insurance companies that
the prince will die before the total of their
premiums exceeds the amount of the policy.
Therefore many persons would be financially
benefited If Albert Kdward should drop off
suddenly one of these fine days. The prince
Is perfectly aware of this fact. Ho knows
very well that advantages have 'been ' taken
of his situation , but I do not suppose It
makes any difference with his habits. "
