CAPTAINS PATD 70 PROTECT CRIMINALS Alleged Practices in the City of ‘New York. COMMITTEEMEN ASTOUNDED ——— NEW YORK, June 1.—The Lexow police investigating committee resumed work to- day. One of the matters scheduled for to- Gay's session was the report that each po- Meeman of the city had been assessed $25 to secure the passage of the bill increasing their salaries. Policeman John E. Leonard of the twenty- eighth precinct was the first witness. He said that when, on last election day, he or- dered a loafer named Kelly away from the poling booth, which was situated at 66th street and Third avenue, Kelly, who had a Political pull, had him transferred from the sixteenth precinct to his present precinct. Charles Prim, who came next, proved to be an important witness, although he was leath to testify. He said he formerly icept a disreputable house on Bayard street for six years. “How often were you raided?" “Only once; about a year ago.” Counsel Nicoll objected, but was over- ruled, and then came out some startling testimony. “When I first kept the house I paid $25 @ month for protection to the wardman, George Conners, now at headquarters. Cap- tain Cassidy was in charge of the precinct.” “Was the price raised?” “Yes, to $50 under Captain Cross when he took charge.” “Did you not pay a lump sum?” “Yes, after 1 was raided I paid $500. ‘The witness said he paid $0 a month to Captain McLaugblin, who succeeded Captain Cross. “I also paid the new captain an initiation fee of $500," said the witness coolly. ae Captain Devery came in, what bats the: Paid $500 initiation fee." ‘What was this wardsman’s name?” “His name was Glennan. He is now with Captain Devery in his present precinct.” Witness told how Captain Devery, when he came to the precinct, sent for him. -He went to the station house in Eldridge street, saw Glennan, who said Captain Dev- ery meant business and he had better pay up. “T haven't got it,’ I told Glennan,” said the witness. “What then?” asked Chairman Lexow. “You can get it.’ he said, and I raised the $500 and paid it.” “What did he say about giving the money to the captain?” “The wardman said that the money was for the captain.” “When did you close Sour house?” “Last October. I g6t word to close my doors as Parkhurst’s agents were active. Since then I have kept closed.” Vhat did the police say?” “Keep quiet until after the senate police investigating committee get through and then everything will be open full blast. “How much in all did you pay?” the wit- ness was asked, and a pencil was furnished him to figure up the total. “Weil,” sa‘d the witness, putting down the pencil, “I find I paid $4,300.” “What! $4,300?" gasped the chairman, “Yes, $4.200,". answered the witness. This was the climax, end the gavel, in the hands of Senator Lexow, pounding for order, was drowned in the exclamations that broke from the lips of the several hundred spectators. When quiet had been, in a measure, re- stored, Counsel Goff asked him to furnish the committee with the names of other Keepers cf disorderly houses who had paid blackmail. The witness gave the names of several. “Were you not afraid that you might place your life in danger by appearing be- fore the committee?” he was asked. “Yes, I feared that the police might make it so hot I should have to leave the city. Counsel Goff informed him that if any one sought to intimidate him © hereafter that he wuuld prosecute the person or per- sens free of charge. Then the witness told how members of Tammany clubs tried to levy assessments on him, but he would not pay, as he was not a member. Delancy Nicoll cross-examined the wit: ness and elicited the fact that he had serv- ed all through the civil war and was a G. A. R. man. “Did you pay Capt. Cassidy a cent?” asked Nicoll. “Not directly. I paid his ward man.” Speaking of Inspector McLaughlin, who was then a captain, he said he paid his ward men in the John J. O’Brien “a tion Club house. —___ TO FIGHT AT JACKSONVILLE. Corbett Names the Place of His Next Combat. NEW YORK, June 1.—Latest reports state that Jim Corbett has declined the offer of the National Sporting Club of En, land, and that the fight with Peter Jack- son will be held in America. George Welty of New York has received a telegram from Corbett to this effect, and that he has decided to accept the $35,000 purse offered by the Jacksonville Athletic Club of Florida. —>_—_ NEEDS FEDERAL TROOPS. Beliet of Army Officers Regarding the Cripple Creek Revolt. DENVER, Colo., June 1.—Army officers here believe that it will be necessary to call out United States troops to quell the insur- rection at Cripple Creek. They believe the strikers cannot be dislodged from Bull Hill by charging upon the mountain, but that it will be necessary to shell their stronghold. Mining attorneys in this city have advised the mine owners to call upon President Cleveland for regular troops, under the statute giving the President power to pro- tect the people in their rights when the state authorities refuse or fail to do so. No Truth in the Last Gov. Waite Story Gen. Schofield, the commanding general of the army, sald today that there was not a word of truth in the report from Cripple Creek, Colo., of an intention on the part of the United States troops to arrest Gov. Waite in case he took command of the state militia and proceeded against the deputy sheriffs on duty in connection with the mine strike. —.___ Unexpected Break in Wheat. NEW YORK, June 1.—A quick and unex- pected break in wheat this morning put prices down below any previous level reach- ed, July touching 575-16, against 579-16 the previous record. The decline resulted from demoralized European and Argentine markets, and better weather news from the west. erg Representative Simpso: Condition. BERKELEY SPRINGS, W. Va., June 1.

Knight N. Bunch, past grand chancellor, Knights of Pythias, and the editor of The Pythian World of this city, has received an encouraging letter from Knight Charles McGregor of Fort Custer, Mont., which in- dicates how things are looking in that sec- tion of the country with reference to the great and coming convention and encamp- ment. In this letter Mr. McGregor says: “The boys out in the ‘wild and woolly west’ are wide awake. The excitement caused by Indian outbreaks, riotous railroad strikers uprising, cowboy encounters and stealing of trains by the contingents of Coxey’s army, &c., all subside and soon become monoto- nous and disinteresting, but Pythianism and Pythian interests never die.” This is only a specimen of the many let- ters which are being received daily by indl- vidual krights and the various committees, There is a proposition that one or more of | | the competitive drill. | Peon a tacit understanding that the local | Pythlans should not cross swords with their | Suests, not only for reasons of courtesy, but because of the admirable drill which the lécal men can set up. At the drill held in Kansas City two years ago one of the main prizes was captured by a Kansas City division, and although there was no dissatis- faction expressed, yet it was thought to have been in somewhat bad taste, There could make it decidedly entertaining for the strangers, but it is not thought that they will enter. Joseph T. Caldwell division, however, v fll enter the contest, At a special meeting and drill of Jos. T. Coldwell Division, No. 7, Uniform Rank, K. of P., held at Arion Hail last evening, the sir knight captain, A. C. Columbus, Was 80 well pleased at the skill they dis. Played in their maneuvres that he tele- graphed Maj. Jas. R. Carnahan to enter Jes. T. Coldwell Division for the competi- tive drills in the coming encampment next Avgust. Three recruits were added at the meeting. Floral Decorations, Col. John M. Wilson, commissioner of Public buildings and grounds, although not a member of the order, has taken an, in- terest in the coming meeting of the Knights of Pythias in this city, and will do what he can to make it a success, To that end he has given instructions that the emblems and Insignia of the order be repre- sented in flowers in the various parks of the city. This will necessitate a change in the present plan of horticultural and arbor- cultural decoration of the parks, but will entail very little additional expense, and will undoubtedly be much appreciated by the hosts and the guests in whose honor the change is made. Plants and bulbs are now being placed in the varicus parks in accordance with this idea, and the flowers will be in bloom, and the leaves will have assumed the desired hue to properly develop the intended de- sign by the time fixed for the reunion. These floral evidences of recognition will be one of the pleassntest features of the occa- sion, and the local committee can be con- gratulated on securing the co-operation of Col. Wilson in this matter, Raising Funds. The gentlen:en who are canvassing the city for subscriptions to help swell the ‘en- campment fund reported today that they had noticed a very remarkable awakening of the merchants to this subject. They were beginning to realize that the prom- ises of the executive commitiee in this mat- ter meant something, and were giving up their funds accordingly. In the beginnin of the campaign they had experienced great difficulty in getting money, but that all they had to do nuw was to reach out and take it. require $40,000 to insure the success of the encampment. Of this sum, the citizens had been expected to contribute $25,000, and they had already put up $15,000, and the canvass of the city was not complete. No merchant need feel slighted that he has not been visited yet, because the collectors promise to get there in due time. The baiance of $10,000 remaining to be pledged by the people it is expected wili soon be in hand, and then the preparations will go forward with even a greater rush than now. The difference between the $26,- 000 and $40,000 had been pledged by the lo- eal Knights of Pythias. This showed how earnest they were in their desire for vic- tory. They were determined to make jt the gratest event of its kind in the histoty of Pythianism and one of the biggest celebra- tions ever held in Washington. The indica- tions pointed that way now. These are only a few of the encouraging remarks which can be heard around headquarters every hour in the day. There is to be a meeting, tonight of the committee on horses and carriages. The committee on camp and camp ground is hard at work, and will announce the result of its labors at the next meeting of the ex- ecutive committee, to be held on Monday night. —— Wants His Name Changed. Charles C. Schober, who was born here August 24, 1873, today petitioned the Equity Court for leave to change his name to Charles C. Albert. The petitioner states that his mother married John Albert Sep- tember 6, 1874, and that since infancy he has always been known and spoken of as Charles C. Albert. Hence, when his true name is written, it occasions confusion in business transaction, and” is a source of great annoyance and Therefore he prays that the court pass an order changing his name td that of Charles ber —_——_—_.

WASHINGTON ADVICES CONFLICTING Industrials Continue to Be Most Prominent. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Speelal Dispatch to The Evening Star. New York, June 1.—Speculation in rall- way shares attracted little attention in to- day's. market, owing to the insignificant character of /tlie trading and the imma- terial changes in quotations. Opening fig- ures were fractionally below last night's closing and moved about without definite Purpose within a radius of half a point. London was dull, with Nashville 7-8 per cent below our closing, and no other fea- ture. The published statement of this com- bany for the mouth of April shows a net | decrease of $42,102 and a total decrease for the last ten months of $823,512. In the local market the stock opened at a reduction of 1-2 per cent and sold down a similar amount to 43 5-8 on moderate trading. Bur- lington gained 1-2 per cent on a small vol- unre of business, and the rest of the list Was steady at smaller gains. The floating supply of stock is noticeably decreased | after every reaction and is being steadily | absorbed by investors as the transfer-books | of many of the larger corporations will at- | test. Add to this the overstocked condition of the money market and the reason for the timidity of the bears is no longer a mystery. The bulls have drawn almost exclusively upon legislative changes in support of their position, and as the industrials are more directly affected have neglected the rail- roads for the present. Until earnings will {ently the movement, the expenses of a campaign in the regular list will be divided about evenly between the shorts and the originators of the scheme. Washington advices were capable of a variety of constructions this morning, re- sulting in a series of rallies and reactions. Sugar came promptly to the front as a fa- vorite, and sold off 1 per cent to 99 1-8; later, on more encouraging news, the price ‘was marked up to 101 1-2. Buyers are never wanting when the price of this stock passes par on its downward course, The prospects for an early settlement of the sugar schedule are not altogether en- couraging, but there are no indications of nervousness on the part of the larger hold- ers cf stock in this corporation. Should | the vote in the Senate be delayed material- ly an effort to force out the weak following might result in lower prices, but shrewd operators are quietly increasing their hold- ings at every concession from present prices. Chicago Gas sold off 5-8 per cent on real- izing shortly after the opening, but rallied for a gain of 13-8 per cent on good buying by the interests instrumental in the recent | rise. The balance of the industrials were steady around initial figures, The market for sterling opened decidedly weaker this morning, cable transfers selling as low as 488 3-4 and demand 1-2 per cent lower. The weakness Is attributed to a falling off in the demand from remitters. ‘The movement of currency from the in- terior during the week has resulted in a gn of about $4,000,000 to the banks, and gem subtreasury operations the gain to the banks is estimated at $1,000,000. The gold movement has resulted in a loss of $3,875,- | 000, and will offset the above gains in to-| morrow's bank statement, which is not ex- | , pected to record any significant changes t from last week. | | The last hour's trading was dull and‘with- | out special feature outside of Sugar, which | sold up to the highest point of the day dur- ing this period. Final figures were irregu- lar, but in the main steady. —_——__ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, ‘The following are the opening, the highest ant the lowest and the olosivg prices of the New York ftock market today, as Macartney, members New York stock exchange Gorrespondents Messr.

An acquaintance named Brown is STATED Secretary Oarlisle’s Connection With the Sugar Schedule, His Visits to the Capitol and Letter Introducing Mr. Havemeyer to Mr. Mills, It is stated on the best authority that President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle have been in entire and perfect harmony in all their actions in regard to the tariff bill. Secretary Carlisle's part in the prep- aration of the sugar schedule of that bill is officially stated as follows: Senator Jones called upon and informed him that | the subcommittee had agreed upon the svgar schedule, and requested that he put it in proper form. This the Secretary did, the paragraph pre- pared being one of a few lines and provid- ing that after January 1, 1895, the duty on | ail sugars not above No, 16, Dutch stand-| ard, should pay 40 per cent. Senator jones | SSeeea ifs at il 5 Ht é ooo4 was to have called at the departinent for | the schedule, but, being unable to do 80, | Secretary Carlisle, in response to a request | of that Senator, visited the Capitol. Upon | arriving there he was informed ‘that an-| other change had been decided upon and/ that sugars above No. 16 were to have a) duty of 45 per cent. Being requested to pre- | pare another schedule to meet this change the Secretary suggested the necessary teration could be readily madé on the copy already prepared, and, accordingly, the, amendment was interlined by the Secre-/ tary. No provision had been made by the com- mittee for molasses, and upen Mr. Cariisle's | suggestion that commodity was added as it now stands on the bill. The committee then | | decided that a provision should be incor- | porated, providing that the Hawailan reci- | procity treaty should not be affected by the schedule. The book containing the treaties was obtained by Secretary Carlisle from the |rcom of the foreign committee, and he wro' the proviso which preserves the Hawaiian treaty. All this is in the handwriting of Secretary Carlisle. A Correction Made. This event transpired on Saturday, May 5. That night it occurred to the Secretary that the first paragraph of the schedule, providing for the repeal of the bounty, fixed the date of repeal for July 1, 1804, while the duty on sugar was not to be operative until January 1, 1895. Knowing It to be the in- tention of the committee to issue a print of the amended bill on Monday, Secretary Carlisle on Sunday morning took a coupe and called at the house of Senator Jones for the purpose of directing attention to the discrepancy. If the bounty should be repealed on July 1, 184, and duty should not be Imposed untfl six months thereafter, there would be a period during which there would be neither bounty nor duty. Mr. Carlisle was satisfied that the dis- crepancy would be discovered after the bill was printed, but he naturally desired to gave the committee from the criticism which would foliow so palpable a blunder. Finding that Senator Jones had gone to the Capitol the Secretary drove there and found Senators Voorhi Jones, Vest and Harris and Representatives Breckinridge, McMillan and other members of the ways and means committee engaged in going over the bill. Secretary Carlisle “explained the purpose of his visit, and the correction was made. . That visit on Sunday morning, May 6, was the only visit made by Mr. Carlisle to the committee without an invitation, and | the change alluded to is the only original suggestion he made in connection with the formulation of the bill. Introducing Mr. Havemeyer. ‘With reference to the giving of a@ letter to Mr, Havemeyer, introducing that gentle- man to Senator Mills, that was a mere matter of courtesy and routine. When Mr. Havemeyer presented himself at thé Treas- ury Department he was informed that he should call upon those who were framing the bill. Mr. Havemeyer had slight acquaintance with Mr. Mills, and, in order to save time and insure him a conference with the Sen- ator, Secretary Carlisle, at the request of Mr. Havemeyer, gave him a note of intro- duction. There’ was nothing. improper or unusual in this. Similar letters had been given by Mr. Carlisle to gentlemen who called upon him in connection with the tariff, some of whom were manufacturers whom he personally knew, and who de- sired to secure changes in the rates fixed by the committee. The story’ that Mr. Carlisle called on the committee on his own motion and insisted that a certain schedule for sugar should be adopted, for the reason that the sugar trust had made liberal contributions to the democratic fund, is denied the Secretary, ———_e-+____ PROBABLY A MURDER.

It is Thought He May Desire to Re- turn to This City, Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. * BALTIMORE, M4, June 1.—The Protest- ant Episcopal convention held a long ses- sion this morning and transacted a large amount of routine business. An effort was made, upon motion of the Rev. Dr. Elliott of Washington, to change the rule which now requires a two-thirds vote to elect a bishop, and word it so that a majority vote in the convention could elect. Dr. Eliiott said that In cese a bishop should have to be elected in the new dio- cese of Washington and a two-thirds vote were required, a deadlock might result and | og and misrepresentation ensue there- irom. The convention, however, voted to retain the two-thirds rule, Many people appear to think that Bishop Paret will elect to go to Washington, and leave the present diocese of Maryland to elect a new bishop. In that case Washing- ton would have a bishop without election. The convention will adjourn sine die to- night. —-——— Secretary Gresham Criticised. In an interview with Secretary Gresham printed in a Baltimore paper this morning, in which he intimates that -Americanized Russian Hebrews will receive no aid from the State Department in their claim of privilege of returning to Russia, has nettled Mr, Raynor of Maryland considerably. He is leading the movement for protection by the United States of the Hebrews of the claim of Americanized Russian Hebrews. He does not hesitate to say that Secre- tary Gresham will make a mistake in as- suming this attitude, as there are two mil- lion Hebrews in the United States, and their influence is powerful. Tra!
