AT RCTON AND BETHANY

BOTH PLACES HAVE PLENTY OF HOT WEATHER AXD RAIN. W. C. T. V. "Work Continued at Acton Bethany Observes Butler Day Notes. The cottagers at Acton Park suffered yesterday evening and very few of them went to bed in a dry home. The rain poured In torrents and the cottages, which are in most cases rudely put up, were flooded In a short time. The cottages that were dry when the rain was over were filled with guests for the night. Others, who were flooded out of house and home, went to the hotel, and a few stayed all night with friends In Acton. The people waiting for the train for Indianapolis were drenched to the skin, and altogether the day, which had begun so pleasantly, with a larger crowd at Acton than any previous day this year, ended disastrously for the cottagers. Yesterday was one of the best days that Acton Park has enjoyed since the opening of the camp-meeting season, both In number of attendance and the programme, which was devoted to the W. C. T. U. and was exceptionally good. The morning programme was devoted to W. C. T. U. work among the colored people, and at the meeting Mrs. Mary B. Sims, superintendent of that branch of work, of Indianapolis, presided. The object of the organization among the colored people Is to spread the W. C. T. U. principles among them. In the past year greater progress has been made than In any previous year, and there are now a number of colored organizations In this State. Mrs. J. L. Thomas, of Thorntown, talked at the meeting on "The Needs of Our Colored People." Mrs. Thomas dwelt particularly on the comparison between African slavery and "King Alcohol," as she termed the liquor traffic. She also recited, "The Old Man's Story." Mrs. Thomas was followed on the programme by a short talk from Mrs. Mattle A. Sessle, of Indianapolis, who spoke of the medal co itest work among the young colored people. The principal address of the morning was by Mrs. Lucy TIppan Phillips, state president of the colored W. C. T. U., of Tennessee. Mrsi Phillips was educated at Flsk University and was a member of a Jubilee singers' club of that college. She entertained the audience at the pavilion yesterday with Southern melodies. The subject of her talk was "The Neglected Rich and What Wre Have Done." Mr 9. Phillips says the work among .er race Is progressing rapidly, and through the efforts of Sirs. Lucy Thurman. the national president of colored W. C. T. U., five state unions have been organized, embracing Alabama. Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina and Texas; also, a colored paper is being published, called the Tidings, at Salisbury, N. C, the only colored W. C. T. U. organ In the world. Mrs. Phillips will talk this evening at the Coburn-street Baptist Church in this city on "Life's Open Doors to Afro-American Girls." The afternoon programme was an Interesting one. Miss Maud Keltner. of Anderson, sang a solo and talked on "Current Events." Mrs. S. N. Bhelt also talked briefly, and Mies Clara M. Sears, of Anderson, spoke on the question, "How Can We Reach the Young People." The Home Missionary Society held a business meeting during the morning, and elected officers and chairman of the various committees. The officers for the ensuing year are as follows: President, Mrs. H. Crossland; vice presidents, Mrs. J. Lv F. Steeg and Mrs. Meek; recording secretary, Mrs. Bobbins; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Spear; treasurer, Mrs. McCartney. The chairman of the various committees are as follows: Literature and publication, Mrs. Hodell; supply, Mrs. Meek: reception. Miss Dole; decoration, Mrs. Williams; opening and closing of the W. H. M. cottage, Mrs. Crossland and Mrs. Meek; barrel supply and mending bee, Mrs. Budd and Mrs. Perkins; membership committee, Mrs. Bobbins. The annual meeting of the Acton Park Association will be held this evening at 6:45. instead of 4 o'clock, as on the programme. At this meeting the annual election of officers will be held. The present officers are: President, J. W. Dashelll, of Aurora; vice president, D. A. Robinson; secretary, George W. Qadd; treasurer, H. A. Crossland; superintendent. Rev. B. F. Morgan. The trustees to go out of office are I Q. Gustln, of Indianapolis, and J. J. Alexander, of Whlteland. W. C. T. U. ELECTS OFFICERS. Officers were elected by the W. C. T. U. in the afternoon at the close of the session, and are as follows: President, Mrs. Ella B. Wright; vice president. Mrs. Maxwell; secretary, Mrs.' Laura Thompson; treasurer. Mrs. Crooks,- all of Greenaburg. The retiring officers were thanked for their faithful service, and it was decided to have only two W. C. T. U. days at Acton next year, instead of three. To-day W. C. T. U. work will be continued, and the principal talker will be Rev. M. W. Harkins, of Anderson. Cther speakers will be Prof. M. Vayhlnger. vice president of Moore's Hill College; Mrs. F. T. McWhlrter and Mrs. Mary if Balch. Last evening. Aaron Worth, of Bryant. Ind., addressed the largest audience since the beginning of the season at Acton, in the pavilion. Mr. Worth's subject was the "Liquor Traffic." He said. In part: "This Is the grandest country in the world, too grand to be spoiled by 240,000 saloons. This country is destined to lead the world In literature, commerce and religion, and ought to set the example of sobriety and righteousness. The liquor traffic is the foe of the home, and school, and church. Its defenders claim it to be one of the great national industries, but none will stand and defend It openly, but apologize for It as one of the great leading Industries that pays large revenues Into the government, helps support the public schools and. by virtue of this fact, ought to live and have the sanction of law. Our objection to the business is that it creates no wealth and no business has a right to live that does not create wealth and minister to happiness.- Our real sources of wealth are In our agriculture, our manufactures, our railroads, our commerce, our mines and our fisheries. These ail add to the public wealth, but the liquor traffic absorbs wealth that some one else creates, and. for this reason.. ought to vcsiruyea. Any Dusiness whose goods are not worth more than the raw material they consume ought to be politically and financially damned. The liquor traffic is the enemy of the home, schools and church. There are three things essential for ail reformation improvements in this country. First, the 'boss' system of politics must be completely crushed. No set of barroom loafers has a right to get together in a back f.m of a al,00P anJ dictate the nominations for Christian people to vote for on election day. Second, the elements of connniiiiM "v?1 be,.AnJectcd lnt0 American pollt,lcs- ,The Politicians of the country JSi 8 t11 ti1lr JaTld tor than Judas sold his Lord, and then would not make as honest an appropriation of the money as Mmdi?e llr il6 boV.g.hS a rPe and hung himself and the politicians ought to do the same thing. Third, we need a sublime faith in the future. The greatest forces of the world are on our side: the railroads, life insurance companies, the W. C. T. U. organization and the church of Jesus Christ are all potent factors on the side of this reiorm. As an Illustration Mr. Worth spoke of the anti-slavery reform and the dark days passed through. He said the people were p.k !l!v.5 that 8inc svery had always i?vniAU-.nililhlIaied from narly all the fT reolutlon carryms the liquor traffic to the same grave. BUTLER DAY" AT BETHANY. Llvelr Meeting, Hot Weather and a Deluge of Rain. It was a hot day at Bethany Park yesterday in a literal as well as In a slang sense. The enthusiastic colleens of Butler had possession of the grounds and they stirred up such activity that no one could be found sitting around and complaining of the heat. Yet it was the hottest day on record according to the "oldest inhabitant." Nevertheless the younger generation and most of the old folks, too, skurrled about here and there, singing, laughing, talking and having a gay time genrally. There was an attendnce of over a thousand. The Tabernacle and Butler cottages were decorated with flags and college cclcr?, and u. great sign of welcome was anchored to a tree at the foot of the hill. A large number of the Butlerites brought their dinners and ate them In their cottage, but the hotel hud a coodlv suddIv of eciine chicken for

the rest. The meetings were of a lively sort and much enjoyed and although a deluge of rain came at supper time yet the day was a red letter one for the Butlerites and was a little bit better than Butler days In the past. The rousing meeting of the day was the "college. camp fire" in the Tabernacle ia the afternoon. The speakers were Burris A. Jenkins, president of the university; Dr. Jabez Hall, dean of the Bible school, and C. C. Rowllnson. pastor of the Third Christian, Church. Each speaker was greeted with "What's the matter with so-and-so? He's all right." followed with a college yell. The talks were short. Dr. Jenkins announcing beforehand that the speakers had "conspired" and resolved to be brief. When some one in the audience cried out that he meant "perspired" he gracefully acknowledged the correctness of the annotation. During the course of his remarks the doctor passed a eulogy on Indianapolis, which city, he declared, was "the new hub of the universe. Its strategic position." he said, "is perfect. It is the center of the population of the United States and precisely In the center of the population of the Christian Church." The desire to live in Indianapolis was one of the reasons why the-professors of Butler had refused many tempting offers from other colleges. Another reason was that they had faith In Butler's future. The Christian Church has long felt the need of a great university for higher educational purposes and Butler was destined to fulfill the desired end. Dr. Jabez Hall, In his remarks said there was nothing gloomy In the outlook for higher education among the Disciples of Christ. He spoke o f the determination of young men and young women to receive an education, and said that the only thing that hindered the educational work was lack of money. It was an opportune time for men of wealth to dower the Institutions now In existence. Becently on a visit to the Chicago University he found thirty or forty students who had received their first taste for higher learning at Butler and other colleges of the church. Rev. C. C. Rowlinaon made a good talk, in which he said the time had come for the Disciples to reach out to the intellectual centers and to adopt more thoroughly the spirit of the Apostle Paul at Ephesus. Prof. E. S. Ames was also to have been present, but was In Chicago and could not attend. BUSINESS MEETING HELD. The Bethany Assembly also held a meeting In the afternoon. Much Interest was taken In. the meeting and matters of Importance were attended to. The annual election of members of the board of trustees occurred, resulting in the choice of the following: A. M. Atkinson and L. L. Carpenter, of Wabash; Mrs. S. A. R. Boor, of New Castle; J. H. .MacNelll, of Muncle; Wr. D. Starr, of Nobles vllle, and Mrs. Maud E. Showers, of Bloomlngton. It was announced that $4.00) In stock subscriptions, to be applied on the debt, was now In sight. The actual subscription thus far Is 3,3u0, and ll.TOu more Is needed to reach the $5,000 mark, when the subscriptions become payable. A sum of $700 Is also needed in addition to the $5,000, to meet all the debts that are coming due this year. It was decided that Rev. L. L. Carpenter should make a canvass of the State In the effort to raise $1,000 in stock subscription. The meeting passed the following resolution: "The pres-

cut succe&siui ueinany ASsemDiy cans ror the hearty support of the whole church. We ask all our friends to rally in its behalf and we call upon . all our churches, Sunday schools and Christian Endeavor societies, preachers, brethren and sisters, to take stock or give money for the use of the assembly and to do so at once. The outlook Is bright, but the immediate help of everyone is necessary." There will be an election of officers by the board of managers next weanesaay. f a aengntrui treat was given the camp m the evening by the rendition of the cantata, by Porter, entitled "The Resurrection." This was given by the choir of the Third Christian Church of Indianapolis, consisting of fifty voices, under the leadership of Charles F. Kennedy. The Y. M. C. A. Orchestra assisted and solos were sung by Mrs. Alice Fleming Evans, Mrs. Vonnie R. Posey and Charles Mendell. of Indianapolis. The tabernacle was crowded and the evening's music was greatly appreciated by all. The Christian Endeavor convention finished up its work in the morning. The awarding of the $55 medal for the society having the largest attendance was a pleasing feature of the day. Union City, in Johnson county, was the successful aspirant, although the societies of Flora, Arcadia and Irvlngton were close "seconds." Flora captured the banner for the largest Increase during the year. The societies of Evansville, Lochiel, Knox and St. Joe Station received honorable mention. J. Z. Tyler delivered the last of his short talks to young people in the morning, and A. B. Philputt made his third-address on Palestine. John E. Pounds delivered an excellent address at U o'clock onJ'The Christian Church and Education." The followinsr arrival rH.:tcrort a t Vi hotel yesterday: Mrs. Mary a.

MR. DONNELLY'S REPORT

WHAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE I. T. V. WILL SAY AT DETROIT SESSION. Tbe Strike, as a. Weapon of Organised Labor, Has Been Greatly Abased. The forty-fifth session of the International Typographical Union, to be held In Detroit Aug. 14, Is expected to be one of the most Important ever held by the organization. President Donnelly's report, which will be submitted to the convention, says: "The conditions of business during the past year have been excellent as compared with any period since 1332. There has been a general revival of trade, which has been felt in all branches of industry. It Is pleasing to note that the Job printing trade has been excellent during the past season, many local unions finding It Impossible on frequent occasions to supply the offices under their Jurisdiction with a sufficient force of competent printers. The printing trade is, to a great extent, a thermometer of business conditions, the volume of work done being continually on the Increase during good time9 and rapidly falling off as periods of Industrial depression develop. The printing trade is affected as no other trade by general business conditions, as it is allied not particularly to any industry or Industrial occupation, but Is general In Its operation, printing being consumed by every Industry, business occupation and every Intelligent citizen in the land. "That form of " combination of capital known as the trust has not as yet affected to any appreciable degree the printing trade, and so long as typesetting machines, printers' supplies and machinery are sold without restrictions in an open market there is little possibility of the formation wjf successful trusts or combinations. Although books and publications are considered a necessity. It must be borne In mind that with a great portion of our population they are a luxury, and the demand for such products Is one which greatly fluctuates, necessitating vast expenditures on the part of the producer In offering Inducements to consumers. This condition results in an Intense competition, which of itself is an obstacle to combinations.' Since the Introduction of the typesetting machine there has been a tendency manifested toward the creation of specialists in the printing traae. This tendency should be opposed by the typographical union and general laws should be adopted for the governing of apprentices, not only as a protection to the competent printer, but as a protection to the employer. Tho "all-round" printer has not been displaced by the typesetting machine, but the specialist has. The man whose knowledge of the printing trade was limited to his ability as a typesetter on straight composition forms 55 per cent, of the unemployed printers of to-day. . WOMEN AS COMPOSITORS. "In the New England States women as compositors have been used by employers to demoralize the trade and reduce the rate of wages. The I. T. U. maintains that one thousand ems of tj-pe delivered to the makeup la worth a certain amount, and that the question should not j be asked by the establishment, 'Was this type set by a woman? The I. T. U. is in as prosperous a condition as at any time in Its history. There are In existence 429 chartered locals, of Which fifty-four have been organized during the past year. Of the fifty-four unions organized during the past year thirty-two have consisted of compositors and twenty-two have been formed in the other branches of the trade as follows: Four stereotypers and electrotypers. eleven photo-engravers, four mailers, two newspaper writers and one union of type founders. During the year twenty unions nave Deen suspenaea ana charters ordered surrendered, Of this number ono has been reorganized and five are in process of reorganization. Time does not permit us to give sufficient attention to the financial reports of all locals for the purpose of arriving at the gross membership of the I. T. U. on June 30. It is, however, safe to estimate that the entire number of persons who consider themselves members of the I. T. U. Is not less than 8,000. Out of the 429 chartered locals, &5 are typographical unions and seventy-seven are unions of the various crafts. Of the paid-up membership of 30.648 on June SO, 18D9, 27.677 were compositors and 2,903 consisted of stereotypers and electrotypers, photo-engravers. maUers, type founders and newspaper writers. "The strike as a weapon of organized labor has been greatly abused. - Its too frequent use has tended to lessen Its effectiveness. Of the nineteen strikes which occurred during the past eight months nine were precipitated by overt acts of employers in violating the scale and attempting to rat offices, etc.; in fact, three of these nine strikes were fomented by employers for the express purpose of wrecking tie establishments In order that they might profit personally, being only part owners. The expenses of officers and organizers In connection with strikes, adjusting disputes and performing defensive work amounted to $7.8v6.81. Since Nov. 1, 1S98, nineteen strikes have been ordered by local unions and the International Union. Of these strikes four were shorter work-day strikes on which the local unions drew no benefit. Of the number seven were won. nine are pending and three were lost. Through the efforts of the organizers andthe international officers five threatened general strikes were averted and forty-four disputes, which were reported to headquarters as likely to Involve strikes, were amicably adjusted." Touchinsf on shorter hours, President Donnelly says: "We have determined that nine hours shall be the maximum number which any member of our organization shall work per day. We believe that work beyond this number of hours Is detrimental to the mental and physical health of the worker. The representative employers of the country, and those employers who are not actuated by greed alone, have conceded to us the nine-hour o)ay. It is our duty to ourselves, our fellow-fworkers and our employers to exert every effort for the purpose of forcing into line the printing establishments throughout the country which are operating more than nine hours per day. and particularly those that do not pay living wages. In order that the International officers may be able to carry out the promises of our representatives. I would recommend that the convention adept the following resolution: "Resolved, That the executive council shall have authority to adjust shorter work-day disputes where local unions have failed to do so, and that local unions are compelled to abide by the decision of the executive council under penalty of non-support in case of strike. NEWSPAPER WRITERS UNION. While our organizers have devoted little attention to newspaper writers during the past year, two of the strongest unions In this branch of the printing trade have been formed. It has become apparent to the officers of the International Union that a successful organization of newspaper writers cannot be conducted upon the lines governing the allied crafts. In organizing newspaper writers the I. T. U. merely desires to extend the principle of a living wage to a department of the publishing business in which the employes, in many instances, are subjected to conditions which are not only enslaving, but repulsive to every free man. The I. T. U. does not. In any sense, desire to control printing establishments or publications. Our object is to maintain fair conditions, sustain the rights of labor and secure a fair day's pay for an honest day's toil, and the organized newspaper writer will be expected to follow the Instructions of the management In the performance of his labor In the same manner as the compositor follows the Instructions of his foreman in performing the mechanical work upon the newspaper. In order that less opposition may be met with in our efforts to organize the newspaper writers of the coun try I would recommend that unions of newspaper writers be exempted from the I. T. U. laws regulating Allied Trades Councils and the laws which are applicable to sympathetic strikes." The report of J. W. Bramwood. as secretary-treasurer, shows a balance from last year of $27.21.12; receipts during the present year to July 1, J12jJ.43d.70, making a total income -of S155.71S.52. The total expenditures were $123,5020. which, with $12,259.74 lost by the collapse of the Indianapolis National Bank, makes the total outlay $135,76154. leaving a balance of $19,955.9$, THE COPYRIGHT LAW. The committee on the International copyright law will call attention to a grievance which the International Union has against the federal government. According to the committee, there Is reason to believe that the law has been violated by the transmis

sion of foreign copyrighted books to this country in the shape of stereotyped plates cast in foreign countries and marked "old type metal." The copyright law requires that all foreign copyrighted books published In the United States, with certain exceptions, shall be printed from type set within the limits of this country. This law, according to the committee, is. being evaded by publishers, who, instead of importing the books or the plates from which to print them, import matrices from which they cast the plates required. - Thus, while the letter of the law Is complied with. In that the actual types or plates are cast In this country, the printers whom the copyright law was designed to help are deprived of the work, which, under the old copyright laws, the "pirate" publishing houses made plentiful. The most serious grievance is against the government itself, and the committee refers to It as follows: "It seems also to your committee that our own government could be In better business than In Job-lotting stereotj-pe and electrotype plates, as is shown in the following act: 'An act providing for the public printing and binding and the distribution of public documents (Jan. 12.1S35, Fifty-third Congress, third session. Chapter 23, Section 52: 2$ Statutes at Large, Page 608), provides as follows: The public printer shall sell, under such regulations as the Joint committee on printing may prescribe, to any person or persons who may apply, additional or duplicate stereotype or electrotype plates from which any government publication is printed, at a price not to exceed the cost of composition, the metal and making, to the government, and 10 per cent, added; provided, that the full amount of the price shall be paid when the order Is filled; and provided, further, that no publication reprinted from such stereotype or electrotype plates and no other government publication shall be copyrighted . . A "No matter at what price the above plates are sold, its effect is toward curtailing work, and brings the government in direct competition with the individual. The law should be abolished." - TWO WOMEN SUE,

Smith, president of the Indiana Bicycle Company, In a letter from New York, says that he wishes to dispel any suspicion that he is unfriendly to the proprietors of the Indianapolis chain works, that might have arisen through the publication .of a recent Interview, in which he stated that there was a strong probability that the chain works would not be taken Into the trust. The differences between the chain works and the trust are only resrardng the determination of the chain-works people EOl to ten lor auyiuuis uui caau, while many of the other concerns are turning their plants into the trust in exchange for stock in the venture and a part payment In cash. Mr. Smith does not say whether the matter Is any nearer a conclusion than It was before he left the city. Morphine Poisoning Caused Death.

ANTI-YANKEE CRUSADE CER3IAX AGITATORS SCHEMING TO BAR OCR FOOD TRODVCTS. Effort Will De Made This Fall to In. dace the Reichstag; to Pass More Odloas Inspection Lairs. WASHINGTON. Auff. 2. Agents of the Agricultural Department who are In Germany report Increased activity on the part of agitators who are exerting their Influence to curtail tc the minimum the Importation of American f oed products into that country. While these reports are not made public, it Is known that they indicate a greater effort than ever before will be made to secure from the next meeting of the Reichstag a statute providing for an Inspection by agents of the German government of all American products which shall be so strict as to entirely Ignore the certificates of American Inspection. The agitation Is con ducted principally by the Agrarians. , COALING STATION NEEDED. No Offer, However, Has Been Made to Purchase the Wellington Islands. NEW YORK, Aug. 2. A special to the Tribune from Washington says: The cabled report that the American minister to Chile has purchased various Islands of the Wei llngton archipelago with the object of estab lishing coaling stations Is discredited at the State and Navy Departments, although it is regarded as possible that Chile has of fered to sell islands In that vicinity to the American minister and perhaps he has mailed to Washington a report on the sub ject which has not yet been received. The desirability of such a coallne station In the possession of the United States at the extreme end of South America has been more keenly realized In the last year than ever be fore on account of the rapidly Increasing trade between the Atlantic and the Pacific and tho frequent changes naval vessels are compelled to make between the two oceans. The long cruise has been twice performed by the Oregon within a year and last winter the Iowa had to be sent around from New York to San, Francisco. Emphasis to the matter was recently given by the mishap to the cruiser Newark, which, after meeting with headwinds In the South Pacific on the way from Montevideo to Valparaiso, had to take refuge among the Patagonlan Islands with her bunkers exhausted. It Is believed that this narrow escape from mishap has led to a revival of the old proposition, wmcn fell through nearly twenty years ago, for the concession of a naval station to the United States in the highest Chilean latitudes. There Is already an excellent coaling depot at Punta Arenas, or Sandy Point, in the Strait of Magellan, owned by an American, whose charges for coal, however, seldom are lower than the extortionate price of SIS a ton. He patriotically filled the Oregon's bunkers there on that vessel's famous run for about $11 a ton. This coal depot Is used by ships of all nations In cases of extreme necessity, but so far as possible It ii avoided on account of expense. It Is painted out at the State Department that It would be embarrassing to enter Into negotiations for a coaling station concession, especially one that would Involve purchase of property in advance of any appropriation by Congress, which might have a stroke of economy after the privilege had been secured. At present there is no money available except for the coaling stations at PagoPago and Guam." TEA GARDEN A SUCCESS. Report of Dr. Sheppard to the Secretary of Agriculture. WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.Dr. Charles U. Sheppard, who Is in charge of the experimental tea garden at Summerville, 8. C, has made a report to the secretary of agriculture covering the progress made up to date. He cays there are now about -fifty acres cf land under tea cultivation and that 3,000 pounds were sold last year at a profit of 23 per cent. It is estimated when all the plants now growing arrive at maturity they will yield 10,000 pounds annually. Dr. Sheppard expresses the opinio: that the fact that the tea plants lived through last winter, when the most intensely cold weather in the history of the section was experienced, is a guarantee that the weather conditions will prove satisfactory. The labor problem, he rays, has been solved by establishing a school for the education of negro children In tea picking. The quality of the tea also has proved satisfactory. Of the black tea he says: "It has a distinctly characteristic flavor, and, like some of the choicer Oriental teas. Its liquor has more strength than its color indicates." The green tea. he says, has attracted keen interest In the trade and among consumers, and he adds that "Oriental teas can hardly furnish the like in this country." Indiana Postofilce Notes.

Maiet InTestlffatinsr Committee to Recommend Abolishment of the ltir, York Municipal Assembly NEW YORK. Aug. 2. The most interesting thing that developed to-day In the Mazet legislative investigating committee was the fact that every member of the municipal council had been subpoenaed for to-morrow for the purpose of determining why the present city legislative body should not bo abolished. A member of the staff of Mr. Mots, couniel of the Mazet committee, attended the meeting in the municipal assembly today and served the subpoena. With each subpoena waa a letter from Counsel Moss saying: "You will be subpoenaed to appear before this committee on Thursday at U a. m. ajjd will be treated fairly and courteously. The assembly will be urged to convene and legislate against the municipal assembly and I desire that your side of the controversy shall be correctly presented." The taking of testimony began with the examination of William Beard, of the W. . W V . . t J I . . - - .If .V f Jr., of the International Dredging Company, and Charles Loomis, of the Atlantic Dredging Company, who testified as to the prices received for dredgln?. The examination of these witnesses was technical. It was shown the rate for dredging varied from I2m to 17 cents per cubic yard. The witnesses den'ea there was any agreement among them to charge the city exorbitant prices. It. G. Packard, of the R. G. Packard Dredging Company, said there had been for probably thirty-nve years an understanding among the dredging companies to charge good rrices for their work, but the agreement had been a lamentable failure, especially on government contracts. Charles F. Murphy, treasurer of the dock board, testified that his department had given considerable work to the Morris & Cummings Dredging Company at the market rate without public bidding. The dock commission believed the company to be a good, reliable concern. Mr. Murphy said he generally allotted dock department work to Tammany men when he could. He had given contracts to the Uvalde Asphalt Paving Company without public letting. The law he understood it gave htm the right to do this. If his conctructlon was wrong then he had violated the law. "Mr. Murphy, your organization is against monopolies. l?n't It?" asked Mr. Moss. r"The organization Is against trusts." "Well, now, here you are creating monopolies end trusts by giving to this asphalt company ar.d to Moss & Cumminrs all the work under treasury orders. Why do you?" "Because they are reliable concerns and do the work as it should be done for market rrices." Frederick Hall testified that he had paid 1300 to Jules Schroeder. a saloon keeper, la , order to get on the police force. Witness said Schroeder wa a friend of Commissioner Lantry and Mr. Croker. Witness had gone before the civil-service board and failed in tne mrntai examination, aenroeaer said hft would fix It all right, but tailed to do so and he refused to return the money. The question of Influences and methods connected with the changing of the motive power on different street railroads waa taken ud. james n. jvecung. commissioner or highways. John Braver, treasurer cf the Third-avenue road, and President Ellas, of the road, were on tne witness stand. Nothing of Importance, however, was elicited from the witnesses. The committee ad journed until to-morrow.
