ARED FLAG, JR,, IN COURT AGAIN, Held for Renting Olive Wil- |: son a Flat for In. proper Purposes. TWO TENANTS ARRAIGNED. Oonstantly in Trouble with th Police for Similar Alleged Offenses. HE’S A MAN OF MANY SCHEMES. When Pressed Too Hard He Ac. cused Capt. Donohue Before the Lexow Committee. Jared Flagg, jr., the son of Rev. Jared B. Flagg, a former Wpiscopalian clergy man, was held for the Grand Jury by Police Justice Taintor in Jefferson Mar- ket Court this morning on a charge of renting a furnished flat at 2 West Bighteenth street for immoral purposes to @ Mrs, Batcheldor, more commonly known as Olive Wilson or Olive Howard. Flags, who js a dapper little man with @parse tron gray hair plastered down from a parting In the middle, dresses Quite clerically in a black frock coat and waistcoat buttoned nearly to the chin, He declares that his arrest yesterday on a warrant Issued to Detectives Mc- Connell and Rohrig, of the West Twen- tleth street police station, Is only one move in a conspiracy to ruin him, be- cause he testified before the Lexow Committee that Capt, Donohue, of that Precinot, now suspended under charges, «bad demanded blackmail from him, Flags Cries Blackmail. “I have control of 488 furnished flats, either as owner or agent,” sald Flagg to an “Evening World" reporter. ‘I have 42 flats in the butldings 225 and 227 West Eighteenth street. That Is in Donohue's precinct. “A year ago Donohue told me I had better pay him $100 a month and save trouble.

They used stool-pigeons to call on new tenants and to tell them it wouldn't be safe to live in Flagg’s flats the pol! were going to raid them all.. They sent others to break down the doors and raise disturbances #0 as to make the place disorderly, One of them is George Peach, known as “This woman, Mrs. Batcheldor, hired a flat of the janitress, having first com- plied with a rule I always enforco, of aigning 4 statement giving her name @nd the purpore for Which she wanted the flat. Mre. Batcheldor signed such a statement, saying she was marrie!, her husband being a bartender; that sie had been living in Portchester, wanted the flat to reside in, and that her reason for wanting to move was that she desired to be down in New York.” Mr. Flagg exhibited this statement, a printed form of questions with answers, to which was attached “I aver that this statement is strictly true, and so far as the use and occupation of said premises go I faithfully agree to hve up to the “statements and assurance herein,” to- gether with a promise not to sublet, ex- cept on the written consent of Mr. Mlagy. The Allexed “Mrs. Bateheldor rented the flat May 29, and last Friday Donobue's man, Me- Gonville, raided the place. ‘Then Mrs, Batchekiur made the affidavit on which they arrested me.

Denounces “the Drones Who Pro- duce Nothing but Laws.” Significant Speech to the Agrarians Who Visit the Prince LONDON, June 11.—A despatch from Nerlin, gives a detailed account of the address of Prince Bismarck to the Agra- rians Bunday, Hig speech wan very a! nificant, the chief feature being # veiled attack on the Government and the Em- peror. ‘The ex-Chancellor said he was ignorant of the intentions of the present legisia- tora. He possessed no influence with, and no authority over them. He inti- mated to his hearers that {t would be very difficult for a man who had re- tired from pubilc life to regain an influ- ence of this character when once he had abandoned his position an a leader, He strongly denounce: @ Manner in which the commercial treaties have been rushed through Paritament, and said that the money which might have been derived from the public revenues thus elessly thrown away was urgently quired for the strengthening of the German Army. The Prince urged the Agrarians to take more paina at election time and to return genuine representatives, men with interests allied to the voters, not men whose interests He chiefly in Berlin, among people without an aore of lan without # blade of norn to their nami He advised the Agrarians not to give their votes to any one desirous of be- coming a public minister—not to vote for any one whose wife wished to shine in Berlin society, From people of this character come the burrs who atick fast to ministerial posta, It is useless to ex- pect them to champion agricultural in- tereats. “Let not, therefore, elect ambitious persons,” he said in concluding his ad- dress to the Agrarians, “but rather those of our own flesh and blood. Hus- bandry was the first born, but it ts not the most favored trade, because farmers cannot live in the towns, and conse- quently they have not much influence in making the laws, We must stand shoulder to shoulder against the drones who govern us, and who produce nothing but laws. Prince Bismarck then called upon his hearers to give three cheera for the Im. peror, the first landed proprietor, not only because he was their Prince and ruler, but because he was “flesh of our flesh, and blood of our blood, For this reason he muat feel how the multitude, his mos: loyal and perhaps his most bur- dened subjects, suffer for his sak “I would wish for the revi it the old and noble custom of the ruling Prince receiving no salary, but living on his own ancestral lands, thereby remaining In touch with the husbandmen and with the people of the country,” sald Bie- marck. “Well, that t pious wish, but it will not be realized, otherwise we would apply a similar process to the ministers also." The reference to “burr ministers” was widently directed at Dr, Karl von Boettcher, Minister of the Interior, and Count Caprivi, the former Chancellor, MISSIONARIES WERE SPARED.
