HIS VIEW OF THE 0DELL LAWS. Practically Planned to Make Municipality Meet Whole Expense of State Government.

The Democrats arc formulating a new policy with reference to indirect taxation in the Legislature the coming session: Senator JIc Carren of Brooklyn who, as stated sometime ago In the is apt to be the minority leader, outlined the proposal' Of his party this morning in an interview; Hi plan is to distribute the indirect taxes to the localities in which they are raised. The Democrats have evidently come' to the conclusion that the. people favor the present system inaugurated by Governor Odell. but they believe that the large vote in this city last fall was the result of local opposition to the state appropriating these taxes exclusively for state purposes. At present the proceeds of only two forms of indirect taxation are returned to the lo One is ttLe liquor tax.

oE whch state still, a part, and the other is a franchise tax on transportation corpora I tions. from which nothing has yet been ized, because tbe legislation oh that subject is still in litigation. Senator McCarren would return to NejvYork for instance, the' taxes on all corporations having heaquarters in this city, the taxes on banks and trust companies, the taxes on savings banks' surpluses and on all other sources of state revenue. This would go far to nullify the effect of Governor Od.ell's. programme which last year resulted in the lowering of the state tax rate to a very small amount.

"There is no doubt that the result of the last election." said Senator McCarren, "shows that the people of the country districts have favored the plan inaugurated by Governor Odell. But in this city, on the contrary, there w.as an apparent and manifest opposition to the taking of money raised by taxation here to. apply to the. expenses of the state. "Gradually one "source of.

taxation after another has been taken up by. the state, which has lessened the taxable value of property local purposes in New York City. It is true that the franchise, taxes are to go to the cities, it was found Impossible to take them 'exclusively for state purposes. A law which would do that would be unconstitutional, and I believe also that the liquor Iav, which applies part of the liquor tax to state purposes, is unconstitutional. "If we go on in this manner taking from the city its legitimate objects of taxation the local officials will be at their wits ends to find anything else than real estate.

to tax. We know that the personal tax cannot be I enforced. This has been the experience of notn the present and the last city adm.inis rations. The growth in population here and the necessity for large improvements like bridges and tunnels and additional water supply tends always to increase local taxation in a larger oroportion than the increase in value of. real estate.

I claim that the state should not take from us. all these sources of revenue." "What about the Republican claim that the indirect taxes are uniform throughout the state, and that it. only happens that New York City pays more is that there is more wealth here?" was "Well, that is not an easy matter, to meet. It is true that these taxes are uni i form. but.

as I said before, we ought' not. i to be robbed of having so many sources taxation taken away from us," replied Sen ator McCarren. I it. i3 understood that is I oreparing a bill along these lines and that the Democrats in tne legislature wtu mane their fight on the policy of' returning the present indirect taxes to the localities. Considerable was made of this issue in the last campaign by the Democrats, hut Governor Odell.

iu reply, has always claimed that the expenditures of the state for prisons, for the insane, for schools and other purposes more than offset, the amount of indirect taxes raised in this city. Senator McCarren said that he happened to inert Cjlenel George W. Dunn, the chairman of the Republican Stale Committee, in the FifUi Avenue Hotel las't. night and bad some talk with him about the number of places which the Democrats will receive on ihe ecmmitlees. He thinks thatt the majority will give the Democrats increased, representation end that in the Senate they will get three and four men on the larger i lees.

Latest Developments in the Fight for the Control of the Colorado Company. The stock of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company over the control of which the Goulds are at odds with the Hawley Harri man Interests, made a sensational rise this morning of fully five points during a spurt In the market.

The stock sold at 86 at the close of the market yesterday. It opened at S5V! this morning, but later went up to 91, subsequently receding to SOU It was currently reported in the street to day that the conflicting interests were making every effort to secure control of the annual meeting to be held in Colorado on December 10. Large amounts of stock are being borrowed at a good rate with proxy accompanying each certificate, and purchases of stock are also said to have been made outside the exchange on this same basis. The tranter books of the company are now closed and purchases of stock do not now carry voting powers at the next annual meeting: so that loans or purchases must be accompanied by proxies to make them available for getting control.

In the Meantime There Will Be No Clash Over the Elections Commissionership. CONTRACTOR IS UNDISMAYED.

Indorsed Last Night by His Assembly District Woodruff's Position Firm if Low Sticks. Lieutenant Governor Woodruff and Michael J. Dady met last night, and to day the atmosphere in the Republican camp is considerably cleared. Whether or not Mr. Dady is reappointed elections commissioner depends somewhat on th attitude of Mayor Low.

Dady thinks he has a chance to convince the Mayor that he ought not to object to him. Mr. Woodruff has agreed that the matter shall be held in abeyance until Dady sees the Mayor, but he will oppose with all his influence any attempt to secure an indorsement for a man whom Mr. Low opposes. The chance of any sort of a contest for Republican supremacy here, growing out of the elections commissionership is small.

Mr. Dady says that the Lieutenant Governor and he are Arm friends and that Mr. Woodruff has promised to speak a good word for him to the Mayor. Their interview, which took place at Mr. Woodruff's house last night, is described as amicable by both sides, but it can not be said that Dady's chances are materially increased thereby.

The trouble with Mr. Dady's candidacy is that Mayor Low will not reappoint him. One good, and to him valid, reason for such action Is that the present Republican Commissioner from Brooklyn cannot afford to give enough of his time. to the job. His interests in Cuba are so extensive as to make that impossible.

Still Dady thinks the honors of the place ought to belong to him. Said Mr. Woodruff this morning: "I saw Mr. Dady last evening and we had a pleasant chat, It is time we discussed the election commissionership. It was agreed that the matter should remain in abeyance for a few days, or until Mr.

Dady has had a talk with Mayor Low." "What if Mr. Low should decline to reappoint him?" "All I can say is that I am unalterably opposed to indorsing anybody to whom the Mayor is opposed. I do not believe in 'putting it up to the This is what Mr. Woodruff said a week ago. He has apparently not jchanged his attitude.

Mr. Dady Is to see the Mayor to morrow, and then he will determine what he will do. The chances seem to be that he will not press his candidacy if he finds the Mayor opposed to reappointing him. Still he said the other day that he would be a candidate if only his own district supported him. If Dady gets an unfavorable reply from the Mayor several candidates will appear in the county committee, including Senator Fuller and Congressman Brlstow.

At this moment no one can tell what support either one of them will receive. There was a report to day that a large number of. independent Republicans had indorsed Charles H. Wight, a lawyer of the Eleventh Assembly District, for this place. In the number are mentioned John Claflin, Colonel Willis L.

Judge Hiram R. Steele, Mr. Reynolds, the Mayor's secretary, and a dozen others. Mr. Wight is on good terms' with the organization and was the leader of the' Independents in the district last summer.

Many think Mr. Woodruff would like to see Con gressraan Brlstow chosen, but that he may be won over to Wight or Fuller. When Mr. Dady was asked what he would do if he found the Mayor intent on appointing someone else, he said: 'I shall come to Brooklyn and consult with my friends." Last night the First Assembly District Club held a moeting and formally indorsed Dady for reappointment. Alderman Dowiing, who offered the resolutions, said Mr.

Dady was an able leader and that his record entitled him to reappointment. Mr. Dady also made a speech saying that the talk ot. trouble in the Republican organization of this county was not based on correct information. The leaders, he said, were always harmouiouS.

Mavor Low, Mr. Dady said, was an old friend of his and if he opposed reappointing him would have told him so. Dady said tne Mayor was a big, broad minded man. The resolutions passed are" as follows: "Whereas, We, the, loyal Republicans ot the First Assembly District, of Kings County, recognize in Commissioner Dady the essentials of true leadership, and also recognize his constant loyalty and fidelity to the principles of true Republicanism; and "Whereas, We, as a body of Republicans, believe that as Commissioner of Elections of the City of New York, he has proven, himself to be an honest, efficient, capable and hard working public official, and "Whereas. The Mayor of the city Will at the expiration of his present term of office appoint four commissioners of election to hold office during the ensuing term of two years.

"Resolved. That we. First Ass District Republican Club, in regular meet ing hereby recommend to the delegates of the First District to the Re i publican General Committee that the Hon. Michael J. Dady be indorsed Dy tnem tor reappointment as Commissioner of Elections, and that, they be instructed to loyally support, him In the County Convention as.

a candidate for the position ot Commissioner of Elections It is understood to day that John E. Smith, Mr. Woodruff's secretary, will be chosen secretary of the County Committee. If chosen he will keep in constant touon witn organization affairs and be at headquarters every day. Mr.

Smith has long been associated with the Lieutenant Governor and enjoys his confidence absolutely. Mr. Woodruff expects to give a good deal more time now to organization affairs. Alfred E. Vass, for many years chairman of the old Seventh Ward Republican Committee and of the Fourth Assembly District Republican Committee, was last night chosen by the delegates elect to the county committee from the Fourth Assembly District as the executive member to succeed Postmaster GeorgR H.

Roberts, jr. Mr. Roberts last August announced that he would retire from the executive membership and it was understood at that time that Mr. Vass would be his successor. When the delegates elect met at the Fourth Assembly District Republican headquarters.

4 in Classbn avenue, last night. Engene M. Travis nominated Mr. Roberts for executive member. The postmaster at once protested and said: "I stated last August that I would retire and meant, what I said.

I cannot but feel pleased that you wish mc to continue as your representative in the executive committee, but 1 see no reason to change my decision of last summer." Mr. Travis then nominated Mr. Vass and he was unanimously selected. 4k RAISE THEIB PASTOR'S SALAR To Prevent Him From Accepting an Expected Call to Brooklyn. (Special to the Eagle.) Blnghamton, N.

November 25 The First. Congregational Church of this city has voted to raise the salary of the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Nacy McGee Waters, by the sum of $1,000 a year, it is said this is done io induce Dr. Waters to decline the call to the Tompltins Avenue Congregational Church to succeed the Rev.

Dr. Robert R. Meredith. The news from Blnghamton that Ur. Waters has received a call from the Tompkins Avenue Congregational Church la renewed almost daily.

The fact of the matter is. no meeting of the church to call a pnstor has been held, and this Is absolutely necessary before cull can he issued. The committee has beard a number of men. among hem Dr. Waters, but no one has been settled upan.

A. quiet interment In Cypress Hills Cemetery on Sunday afternoon, a week ago. with the gray haired and widowed Mrs. Matthew Tostevln. of Crescent street, and the sole surviving brother, John, standing by th i grave, marked the close of the last chapter iu the story of the lite of Peter Tostevin.

who left his home in Brooklyn, in his twenty third year, twenty nine years ago. and of whom neither father, mother nor brother had heard a single word for more than a Quarter of a century. On Monday. November 3, a postal card, dated Baltimore. was received by the Eagle, and the following brief notice was published: "To Peter Tostevin'3 Relatives.

"The Eagle has received a communication from W. IT. Forsyth, Station U. Post Office. Baltimore, stating that Peter Tostevin died on Saturday morning at tho City Hospital in Baltimore, at the age of 52.

It is believed that Tostevin had relatives living in Brooklyn aud they are notified that if the body is not claimed it will be buried on Tuesday, November 4. If relatives wish to get any information concerning the dead man may address Mr. Forsyth." That same night Mrs. Matthew Tostevin. in their bumble house, at 57 Crescent street.

Cypress Hills, saw the notice. It was in 1873 that Peter Tostevin left his home. A few weeks after his departure they received a short letter from him, and since then he had been silent. Mrs. Tostevin and her sou at once wrote to Mr.

Forsyth. The answer confirmed their belief that the man who had died alone and friendless In the Baltimore Hospital was the lost son and brother. Out of their slender means they sent money for the removal of the body to this city, and the man who had lived the manhood of his life apart from those who knew and loved him was brought back and laid to rest with his father in the family plot. In the early '70s, when Peter Tostevin grew to young manhood, East New York, Cypress Hills and Jamaica were but scantily populated farm lands. Young Peter Tostevin was one of the best known young men of the section.

One of the older men who knew him as a boy, when seen to day, said: "Yes, I remember when Peter Tostevin went away. Peter Tostevin and Fred Bond started together. They said they were going West to. make their fortunes. No one ever knew what made Peter go, but he was a reckless sort of a chap and there was a story which I don't seem to recollect very well, something about them two fellows being in love with the same girl and both being jilted.

I don't know what her name was, but I think it was Abby something or other. "Anyhow, they went away and everybody was talking about it for a long timet Ppter wrote a letter to his folks a tew weeks later from somewhere in the South and said he and Bond had split. That's the last they ever heard of him until that little piece was published in the Eagle. Bond is out in San Francisco and I hear he is well off. but Peter Tostevin disappeared as completely as If he'd fallen down a well." Mrs.

Matthew Tostevin was seen a little later at her home on Crescent street. A large sign "For Sale" at the front door betrays the fact that the Tpstevlns are planning to leave the old homestead: You know Peter and John were not really my own children. 1 am their stepmother. Their father died fourteen year3 ago. He died believing that Peter was dead and I think the fact that one of his boys was gone caused him great sorrow and hastened the end.

"I knew Peter very well, only not, of course, as if he had been my own son. No; I don't know just why he went away, but he didn't run away. We knew he was going. Let me see, I think it Is twenty seven or twenty eight years since we had heard anything from him. "When we learned that it was really Peter who was dead in Baltimore we had the body brought here at once.

He is buried with his father and mother in the cemetery over there. Yes; John and I have decided to sell the old home because there's only two of us and we don't really need so much room." Matthew Tostevin was a second cousin of the and Brooklyn family of Tostevin. certain members of which have attracted public attention by apparently motiveless suicides. OLD GLORY SALE.
