I NCORPORATED con KEARNY JTREET {( & UNION SQUARE AVENVE HEARS DEFENGE OF REGORDER Mayor Believes God- chaux Innocent of Grave Charges. S Official Says He Did Not Receive Money From Copyists. Recorder Godchaux was in conference yesterday with Mayor Phelan regarding the charges made by two discharged copylsts, Frank Urmy and Mark Bartlett, that they had lost their positions because they had refused to contribute 30 to God- chaux’ campalgn fund. The Mayor de- sired to ascertain if Godchaux had vio- lated the charter by accepting money from his subordinates. Godchaux proved conclusively that he had personally not recelved money for such a purpose. He | filed the following communication with the Mayor defending his position: Mayor James D. Phelan—Dear Sir: Replying to your letter of November 27, 150, deny the right of the Civil Service Commission to in- | tertere in the management of my officg. The | Supreme Court has decided that i am not sub- ject to civil service, In refusing to abide by this decision the commission forced my office into the Superior Court, where Judge Seawell jecided, as had the Supreme Court, that my office was not clvil service. I feel, therefure, 4 justified In accepting the law of my office from the highest courts In the State rather than from any eommission. Passing to the subject of the affidavits I never asked any person In my office to contrl bute a cent to anything whatever, or suggest 2d that any person in my office should con:rib- ute anything whatever. Whether the sum of $200 was by any of the deputies or copyists in my. office requested of either Urmy or Bart- lett to help pay the salary of a messenger for one month, I do not know. THe Officers’ Charity Fund. The charity fund of a do month was. a voluntary arrangement made by the em- ployes. 1 was asked if I ‘would contribite to the fund and did so substantially. In re- gard to contributions of deputies of my cam- paign, that, if done at all, was @ matter of voluntary association among themselves. 1 never spoke to an employe or wuthorized any one to speak to an employe on- the subject. The statements about Mr., Schiller and Mr. Hayes are absolutely untrue. These men h earned every cent they have received, records of my office clearly prove. LAbout the payment of a fee to an attorney In the second civil service suit: At that time the Supreme Court had decided that my office was not civil service.

JUDGE DECIDES Holds Special Officer f for Assault to Murder. - | { _The preliminary examination of Edward | Furey on the charge of assault to murder | | was concluded before Judge Conlan yes- | terday. Furey was held to answer before | | the Euperior Court in $500 bonds. Attor- | ney W. W. Foote conducted the prosecu- tion on behalf of the Marine Firemen's Union and the defendant was represented | by Attorney Joseph F. Coffey. | Furey, during the strike, was employed | ,as a speclal officer at the Risdon Iron Works, and on August 21, while he was in | charge of some men employed repairing | the steamer Alameda at the Oceanic dock, he accompanied one of the men to a res- taurant on East street. BSeveral strikers began abusing Furey's companion, calling him a “scab’” and other offensive names, | and made a threatening demonstration. | Furey, stepped forward to protect the man and was attacked by the strikers, one of whom, Peter Callahan, a marine fireman, grappled with him. Furey slipped and fell with Callahan o2 top of | him. Furey’s revolver fell out of his | pocket and both made a grab for it, but Furey was quicker than Callahan, and the head with the butt end of his revol- | ver. The revolver was discharged at the | same time and the bullet went through | Callahan's jaws. Callahan and Furey practically told the same story of the occurrence, but five | witnesses for the prosecution, who were all strikers, contradicted them by swear- ing that Furey drew his revolver and poinied it at Callahan, who struck Furey’s | hand upward. Then they grappled and | Furey shot Cdllahan. It was on this tes- | timony that the Judge held Furey to an- swer. During the strike Furey was shot at | more than once by strikers, and there is | a case now pending In the Superiog Court against a striker named Carlson, who was | arrested for attempting to murder him. e Teacher’s Trial Postponed.
