Mack had sald that O'Brien told him he (O’Brien) had a letter on the subject from Elihu Root, Here is Mr, O'Brien's statement: “In the first place Neighbors was sim- py @ stenographer and not the secretary to Mr. Mack. I can weil understand the agony of suspense tn which Mr, Root and Mr. Ryan awaited the decision of the Third Deputy Commissioner in the matter of the retention of @ $1,200 ste- nographer. For Mr. Mack to have in his hands the future of all legistation at Albany and of the Federal Government at Washington was a great responai- bitty, “I did not know that Mr. Neighbors had a brother and that his brother was seoretary to Mr, Root until Commis- stoner Mack told me mo. If Mr. Nelgh- bora can control the Legislature at Al- bamy and the Secretary of State at Washington and Mr. Ryan in New York I will gladly give Lim a $1,500 @ year place." Mr, Mack's talk to-day is a supple- ment to what he said to an Evening World reporter last night, Among other things ho sata: “Mayor McClellan ‘s a poor e piece of pulty in the hands of a few men who have the spoliation of New York City at heart.’” Mr, Mack wus pressed to name the would-be spollers, but he declared that such revelations would form part of the sengational disclosures concerning con- ditiong in the various muniolpal depart- ments, especially the,police, that he In- tended to make later on. “When Bingham says sked for my resignation, he les!) co..nued My, Mack. “Why, he actualiy pressed me to remain after he had issued an omer to me that I, es a self-respecting man, could not possibly carry out. ‘Dhis ri- iculous, impracticable order wes to the effect thi.t failure to patrol would mean a fine of fifteen days’ pay, while ab- sence from reserve—reserve, mark you— rollcall yould involve the forfeiture of ten days’ wages, “Ig such gn order fafr, reasonable, Just?
