I. PennsylvaniaR.R. MAY CONSIDER PLEA. His Attitude on Dual Contracts. BROOKLYNITES ARE PLEASED.

Believe Governor Was Convinced ot Public Sentiment by Arguments I of Speakers. The delegation which saw Governor Suizer at Albany yesterday returned to New York last night. All seemed convinced that a favorable Impression bad bceu made upon the Governor. Tbe manner in which things were handled. and the brief convincing speeches which were made, brought fortn much favorable comment from members of the party.

Howard C. Pyle. who was one of tho nlne dc.i,,gatej representing the Brooklyn Board of Real Estate Brokers. ld: ine uovernor sat Bpninx-lIKe, and! from his facial expression we coull gather nothing. Coming home, the concensus of opinion was that he was with us.

He gave us a very cordial welcome, but never for a moment did be betray his sentiments by any facial expression. He could not but have been convinced by the trenchant arguments which he listened to. I see no answer forthcoming other than dual subways. "We were 'before the Governor at 3 o'clock. We had been promised an audience until 4.

About ten minutes to four there were still several speakers to be heard. E. H. Outerbridge, vice president of tho Merchants Association of Ne York, asked for an additional fifteen minutes, and this was granted. Public Service Commissioner McCarroll delivered tho valedictory address.

'The benediction, we leave to you, your excellency, was his closing remurk, and It came ln very potently. The reply of the Governor was that he was deeply Impressed and that he would act In the Interest of majority." Charlci Fuller of the Brooklyn Leaguo said today: "It was one of the finest delegations of citizens that has ever gone to Albany. Strong, Impressive arguments were used, and everything wa8 handled ln a very dignified and orderly fashion." "Greatest Good for Greatest Number," Says Suizer. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, February 1 When Governor Suizer met the 300 representatives of all five boroughs of Greater New York yesterday on the subway hearing in the Executive Chamber, he seemed visibly Impressed with the character of the assemblage that crowded every foot of the room. The gathering was pronounced the largest and most representative delegation of New Yorkers ever seen in Albuny.

The Governor greeted tho men with a few words, and told them he was "seeking light." Then, for nn hour and a quarter, the Governor heard from the hundreds of k.i.. organizations that were represented. Public Works Com-mlsGioner LewlB H. Pounds, Brooklyn's first spokesman, urged upon the Governor's attention the plight of Brooklyn, and described the struggle for the dual rapid transit, system as a "death grapple." He spoke, also of the needs of Queens County, and this was appreciated by the Queens Borough men, who composed a large part of the delegation. Former Senator Charles H.

Fuller, president of the Brooklyn League, informed the Governor that he represented about 200 organizations In Brooklyn with a total membership of 50,000, all of them In favor of tho quick transit relief promised by tho pending contracts. James T. Hoile, who was especially delegated to present the Governor with the resolutions adopted at the Prospect Hall meeting on Thursday night, read the resolutions, and told the Governor of the great meeting. Queens County was ably represented by Maurice Connolly, Its Borough President, who made one of the most telling speeches of the day. He told the Governor that QueenB County had been paying $2,000,000 per year In Increased taxes to the City of New York, and that by two years more, at that rate, the full amount to be expended In Queens County for rapid transit would have been contributed to the city.

This Increase, he explained, was due to the anticipation of tin- traniiit relief promised. "If by any means, Queens Is deprived of this relief, for which the borough has hern paying transaction will te in the nature of a fraud on Queens!" exclaimed Mr. Connolly. Former Public Service Commissioner William McCarroll of Brooklyn sumifeil up the argument. He said that never before had he Been such evidence of a "united New York." This was greeted with loud applause.

"It is up to you, Governor," declared McCarroll, in closing and urging the Governor to take no action that would interfere with the execution of the pending contracts. The Governor then arose and said: "Knowing you gentlemen represent. I shall give careful consideration to all you have said. I shall work out my 3hare of this problem according to tbo beBt light I have, and for the great-cst good of the greatest number." It. was estimated about 400 civic nnd business organizations, with a membership of over lOO.flOO men, rcpresentlns, as McCarroll said, "the life and Industry" of Greater New York, were represented at the hearing.

The cost of the trip, according to John B. Crelghtou, or Tirooklyn, was over $5,000, and oil for "on hour und a quarter's talk with the Governor."

After deliberating for almost seven hours, the Jury in the trial of Gilbert Elliott on the charge of perjury, ro- turned to Part of the Supreme Court at 10:45 o'clock last night and announced to Justice Frederick E. Crane that It had been unable to agree upon a verdict. Justice Crane announced a disagreement, discharged the jurymen and continued the $5,000 ball bond under which Elliott ia held. Today It was stated in the District Attorney's office that there was some doubt as to whether or not Elliott would ever be brought to trinl again. Assistant District Attorney Louis Goldstein Is said to favor a re-trial, but District Attorney Jflmcs C.

Cropsey is away from the city and no statement could be obtained from biiu. He left fur Buffalo late yes terday afternoon, while the Elliott Jury wns still deliberating, to attend a meeting of the District Attorneys Association before which body he is scheduled to make a speech today. He will Lome back to Brooklyn tomorrow. Jury Understood to Have Been Badly Divided. According to rumors about tho Court House t'nn Elliott jury was badly divided.

It is said that at one time the members voted 8 to 4 for conviction; at another 10 to 2 for acquittal; ngaiu 7 to for acquittal, and finally 6 to 6. Assistant District Attorney Goldstein was informed today, unofficially, that the vote was 8 to 4 for conviction, while Elliott was told that it was 10 to 2 In hla favor, and Martin T. Manton, Elliott's counsel, said he had heard that one vote was 7 to 5 for acquittal and another 6 to 6. Elliott was charged with perjury in connection with an action begun Jointly by the Union Bank and the Essex Lee Compuny to restrain ElUworth E. Bo- gnrt from disposing of a $28,000 mortgage of the Essex Lee Company, which had been turned over to him as security for a $16,000 note signed by him for the union Bank at the Instigation of Its president, David A.

Sullivan. An affidavit made by Elliott was sub mittcd In connection with the action In which Elliott stated that he had made the assignment of the mortgage to Bo- gart without the proper authority of the Essex Lee Company, while the assignment Itself was drawn In such form as to Indicate that he had such power. The announcement of the disagreement ot the jury was made after the jurymen had deliberated for almost Beven hours and before they came In for the final time, the Jurymen sent notes to the Justice that they were unable to come to a satisfactory agreement on a verdict. Jury at 8:50 Told Court an Agreement Was Impossible. Justice Crane received the first note at 8:50 o'clock.

It announceu flatly that an agreement among the jurymen was impossible. The court sent hack word to continue their deliberations. At 10 o'clock the Jurymen sent another note to the court reiterating that an agreement was Impossible. Justice Crane sent for the jury, and after the members had filed In and taken their places in the hox he read the note and then re- nllu.tnrl Ih.m tft crn hunk tn thn tnrv. room and deliberate for a half hour longer.

When they came In for the final time, preceded by another note announcing that It was with real regret that the members found they could not agree, the court discharged thfm and announced that Elliott would be released under tho same ball. Justice Crane spent more than an hour In the afternoon charging the Jurymen. He impressed upon them the necessity of their being convinced that the affidavit that was alleged to contain the perjury had been sworn to by Elliott, that It contained false statements and that those false statements were made willfully and with knowledge. He warned them against being Influenced by things which cropped out during the trial, but which were not vital to the case In hand. "In the course of the trial many things may have cropped In which do not bear directly upon the main charge," he said.

"The defendant is being tried only upon tho charge of perjury. Other things may have crept In that bear more or less, al though not directly, upon the thing charged. "It appears that he was president of a company made up of himself and the clerks In his office. The law allows that, and Irrespective of what you might think It was within the law and should not DEATHS. WAIBEL On Thursday, January 30, 1913, M.

He said: "If you find that the affidavit I was not sworn to by Elliott ynu caieot convict tiie defendant. The signing of the snVavit by Elliott In Tie presence of Pink, a commissioner of deeds.

In hie (I'iiiUs) presence the affixing of tiiej official stamp would not alone constitute wearing. "To constitute a valid oath there must hare been some act or form gone through with by the nffinnt by which the afflint consciously takes upn himself the obligation of an onth. There must be something said or something done to Indicate that the person signing the affidavit taxes upon himself that obligation." No Inference Against Defendant Because Pink Was Not Sworn. Then Justice Crane recited the testi mony in which Elliott had said that be dta not remember being sworn and the statements of Miss Carolyn H. Conkling In which he said that he was not sworn.

Then the court called attention to the fact that Louis H. Pink, the commissioner of deeds, before whom the affidavit was supposed to have beeo sworn, was not placed upon the stand by either the defendant or the prosecution, and said: "I charge you that no inference against the defendant because Pink was not called should be drawn. The defendant Is not cr.lled upon to prove that he did not swear to the affidavit, but the people must prove bevond a reasonable doubt that he did. When a of reeds or a notary places his name u.ion an affidavit under the Jurat which states that he swore the deponent, the legal presump tion Ib that the official did his duty nnd that presumption is taken ns evidence. some evidence, of the fact." Ho ttien pointed out that this presumptive evidence might be overborne by testimony and again called attention to the fact that Miss Conkling nnd Elliott had said on the stand that Elliott had not been sworn properly.

"If on that evidence you lind that he did not swear to It, or if their evidence creates reasonable doubt you must acquit," he charged. The Crux of the Perury Charge Explained. Then, in closing, be referred briefly to the other points of his charge saying that the jury must decide, if It found the defendant guilty, that the facts iib sworn in the affidavit were true and that the jurors must bo satisfied that they were sworn to as true by Elliott when he knew that they were not true. Louis II. Pink, the conimljsioncr of deeds before whom tho affidavit was allegedly sworn to by Elliott, had been subpenaed by both the prosecution and the defense.

He was not called, however. by either side When the jury came back for instruc- tlons nt 6:40 o'clock it was upon this point that they wanted aid. The Jurymen asked if they had the right to consider as favorable to the defendant the fact that Pink was not called as a witness. Justice Crane told them that they had no such right and that the failure to call him should not Influence them either way, as both sides had the right to call him, although neither did.

An attempt is being made by William S. Metelski. alias James Barrett, who was sent to Auburn Prison for forty years by Judge Crane In i'JOt. to get hi term cut short by Governor Suizer. Metal- ski Is known here as the "Masonic Bur glar," and tbe most desperate "stick-up" man ever "caught with the goods" ln thli borough.

He got bis forty-year term by pleading guilty to a charge of burglary and grand larceny "as a first offense" af ter being Indicted as a second offender. A communication from Albany about Metelski Is said to be on District Attorney Cropsey's desk today, awaiting Mr. Crop- sey's return to the city on Monday. O'd time police In Brooklyn will remember 'Billy" Metelski. who was perniciously active In this borough a dozen years ago.

Judge Asplnall sent hlin away first to the House of Refuge and then to Elmira. Metelski came from a very 'good Brooklyn family, his father, now dead, for many years being a weli known business man here. "Billy" Is said to have been bad since he was 14. After his return from Elmira he was considered a desperate "gun man," and very soon afterward the police had occasion to arrest him. Metelskl's daring burglary at the home of George G.

Gale, a Brooklyn contractor, living at the time at 117 Bainbridg street, was his final undoing. Entering the Gale home in his usual way by a basement window, he awoke Gale at the point of a pistol while rummaging the bedroom. Seeing a Masonic ring on Gale's hand, ho told his victim that he was a Mason himself and wouldn't take the ring. Then he made a quick 'get-away" with a lot of valuable loot from the Gale home. Mr.

and Mrs. Gale had bad a good chance to Identify Metelski and picked him out from the Rogues' Gallery. When the sleuths were sent after Metelski they took no chances, but picked him up on sight and then Investigated his flat In East Eighteenth street, Matt hattan. There was about $3,000 worth of loot there. He was promptly indicted as a second offender on May 18, 1906.

and on the same day asked permission of Judge Crnne, then sitting in the County Court, to plead as a first offender. Three days Inter Judge Crane after a thor ough Investigation ot Metelskl's record, sent him to prison for forty years. Them were over 100 burglaries to the credit of Metelski in Brooklyn. His claim to ever having been a Mason proved to ba false, it is said. Senator Duhamel Ib understood to be interested ln Metelski, and has, it la said, got from Governor Suizer assurances that he will consider the case after the Legislature adjourns.
