He did all In his power to save the man, fore the legislative committees. There are two tentative proposals advanced, one by the regulars and the other by the Young Republicans, oud It is only by a compromise, with substantial concessions by both sides that there is any hope of uniting on one bill. The present organization attitude would produce a bill substantially the same as the Prentiss bill of last year, providing an official primary ballot, with candid-dates for ull offices, including those ot two receivers, refused to accept. The fight to make Stafford counsel was very riome. It was unnecessary, however, as cents or $1 now.

Merchants in the Wallabout Market were commenting to-day on the scarcity of Christmas trees. "I do not know whether the fight for the preservation of the forests on the part of President Roosevelt has anything tii do with it or not." said Julius Lippmann, "but I do know that there is a shortage of 130 carloads of trees this preparations were at once begun to find a suitable site to which to move It.

It appears now lhat the bank was saddled with the expense and with the big fees of Stafford. Judge Church and Mr.

Swanstrom received only $11,000 each for their services as counsel for the receivers, and for collecting debts due the bank. Stafford got $12,000 in one lump sum when the bank resumed, in addition to other large sums paid to him by Higgins and the depositors committee.

December 18. M08, Governor Hughes. It Is said that the Governor's only reason for the many dealers who had not previously handled Christmas trees went into the bill was the provision for the designation of the groups of candidates as regular business, and as a result the market was flooded with trees and we had to sell them for what we could get. This caused many merchants to be fearful of not new site was mentioned, and those who objected were mollified. In selecting a site near the Corlelyuu Club properly, those behind the movement have satisfied a public demand.

The old mansion, with its impressive colonial pillars in front forming a veranda, was picturesque. It was the pride, of residents of Flatbush. for it suggested the good home life and excellent mode of living in the days before the Revolution. It was -built along the lines of homes erected in Dutch-Colonial days, and was regarded as a fine piece of architecture. in showing the places of interest to tourists who find much to see in this historical part of the borcugh, guides never forgot to point with pride to the homestead of the patriotic Cortelyous.

a descendant of whom is now in the Cabinet of President Roosevelt. The operation of shifting the house has aroused unusual interest among the residents, particularly the old-timers, who have grave fears that some serious accident may happen to the homestead In Its course southward. The movers, however, declare there Is no 'fear of serious consequences, as the "job" is regarded as an easy one, and think the house has with being able to dispose of their trees and Jamaica at a slow pace, having stopped but a minute before to allow the owner ELBCTRIC they did not sond in orders; consequently there were not so many trees cut in the not be learned to-day, but Mr. Higgins said he had paid him the greater part of $6,000, which he. Mr.

Higgins, had expended in court proceedings. He said that he had paid him $3,000 out of his own fees, and he could not tell exactly how much more he had paid him. The $12,000 which Stafford got at the time the bank resumed was not from the depositors, or from Higgins, but was from the bank itself. The bank paid the money in settlement of a much larger bill presented by Stafford for his services as one of counsel to the depositors committee.

''I remember one Christmas six years and irregular. The position of the Young Republicans is that there is need of a revision of the entire primary law to make it apply to the whole state and to place all primaries on a uniform basis. Tho Young Republicans wish to make the election district the unit of the primary system, as it is to-day in Brooklyn.

This, they say, would do away with all the difficulties which would arise in counties like Xew York, where the assembly district is the unit, from the application of a direct primary system. These difficulties have to do with the election of district committees. It has been pointed out by Herbert Parsons and others that -it would take a voter an hour or two to select 120 men for his assembly district committee from a list arranged alphabetically.

Peter Schoonmaker, the oldest living resident of Flatbush to-day, who is now In a feeble condition, is able to look from his window and see the movers at work.

.4 It is believed that the Young Republi pay Stafford $12,000 and to contribute $3,200 to the depositors committee to help pay the bill of Bandler. The depositors committee had received $5,700 from Mr. Higgins, which was indirectly from the bank as part of his fees. Bandler was paid $3,500 by the depositors committee, and the committee still had a balance. It has just returned to the bank the $3,200 which the bank contributed to the payment of Bandler, so that Baodler's fee was really paid out of the fees of Receiver Higgins.

MoBt of Mr. Higgins' fees have gone Into the expenses of. his legal rows with his co-receiver, into counsel fees and bills for advertising his opinion of his co-receiver, Mr. Hasbrouck, and Attorney General Jackson, together with other matters which he wanted to lay before the public. He spent a great deal of money in advertising communications In display form.

Receiver Higgins took $15,000 in fees as receiver.

"I can't account for it in any other way. It is true that times are very hard, but don't believe that is the cause of tho shortage, because those who have families will buy Christinas trees if they have to cut down on other expenses.

Trees are so very scarce that we have to ask more for them than at. Christmas a year ago." "We are getting much better prices for trees this Christmas than last," said L. W. Goctschus. 'I am receiving $1.60 for trees that I formerly sold for 75 cent3 and Tho great scarcity of trees Is causing Brooklyn dealers to wonder if the beautiful custom of decorating trees for the edification of the children will not be a thing of the past in the next few years, unless parents resort to artificial trees.

"I really believe it is coming to this," said John Tesso, a dealer on Myrtle avenue. "It Congress passes laws to pro-vent, ihe cutting down of forest trees, it will be impossible to obtain them, because the only place we can get them from now Is Maine and the supply seems to be getting smaller each year."

Why the bank itself was called upon to pay the big fee of Lawyer Stafford has not been fully explained. Stafford was employed by the depositors committee and by Receiver Higgins. He represented Mr.

Higgins in the acrimonious proceeding? which resulted in ousting Charles A. Dolson as receiver's counsel, but which did not succeed in putting Mr. Stafford in.
