Deputy Controller afeCaosy "*ld yesterday that115 sealed bids for the $40,000,000 of 4', per centbonds to bn offerfd on Tuesday had been receivedat the Controller's office. He said he had no moansof knowing in advaaos where the bids came fromor how ninny of the bonds were bid for. He said,however, that he was confident that the wholeamount would be subscribed for.

Mr. McCooey would not confirm th« rumor InWail Street that the Equitable, Mutual and XewYork Life Insurance companies had each ai«rre?iito take $5,000,000 of the bonds; nor did he knowof the formation of any syndicate to take over abig block of them.

MANY BIDS F0:i

A pathr-tie feature of the case is the conditionof the missing man's two children, who are liv-ing at the Hall home in Winnetka in charge ofa housekeeper. Since Hall left Chicago theyhave received no word from him, and have hadno money to meet household rxpenFes.

It appears that Hall has been "borrowing"

the company's money for at least two years.

There has leon little effort on his part to con-ceal this fact. The money taken out of the

business -was secur.-d only by promissory notessigned by Hall. -As he has no other property

than the fSO.OOO worth of Belding-Hall stock,

which is worthless until nil outstanding billsare paid. It Is expected that the $315,000 whichhe borrowed nnd th© $40,000 which he lent t >

irresponsible persons— s3ss,ooo in all—will be a

total loss.

orlcln in the fart that th* contractors came across

two sections of quicksand. Inpassing these points

tho first contractors failed to take proper precau-

tions., ana Km result was that after th« tubes had

been Installed It was found necessary to build con-

Crete piles under the tubes at the points where

quicksand had been encountered"In doln^ th!*> work.

' Mr. rw—M \u25a0\u25a0**•

th-»

tube plate* were rot affected, except in *o far a«

the engines' found it expedient to lower the tubes

to meet a tni» lln^ with the top of the concrete

riles It -will be found the roof of the tunnel be-

tween the two points indicated a* affected by

quicksand, one. near Brooklyn, tie other near New

Tork Is slightly higher than at other point*.

"It was found advisable where, the original con-tract called for concrete work to extend only to

the edses of tubes where they come together to

earn- the concrete out perhaps three or four Inches

from the joints, thereby aiuuil— additional «e-

enrtty from possible leaks."

Mr Parsons *aid this line of work was begun

itwo month* ago. after he had consulted with ChiefIEnßlceer Oeorg. H. I'egram of the Rapid Transit

Subway Construction Company. The engineer for

the Public Service Commission. George 9. Rice,

then acting for th« old Hoard of Rapid Transit

Railroad Commissioners, was aware. Mr. Parsons

Bald of tin work being don", and in no partlcu.ar

had Mr.Rice, exceeded his authority In th» matter.

-Ido not M*."said Mr. Tarsons. "why any crit!-

clem should be directed against Mr. Hire at this

time in connection with the work on the Battery

i tubes. To my mind. Mr. Rice Is entitled to com-Imendation, rather than criticism."

Mr Parsons said he did not recall the dateplanned for the opening of the tubes, but when

reminded that EL P. Dryan. president of the Inter-

borough Rapid Transit Company, had testified be-

fore 0m Pnbllo Service Commission's Investigator.

Mr Ivlns. that October or early November would

find the tubes in practical operation Mr.Parsons

agreed the work would be ready by that time. The

New York Contracting and Trucking Company had

the original contract for building the tunnel, the

work afterward being taken over by the Rapid

Transit Subway Construction Company.
