Shepard. the Tammany candidate for Mayor, kept Richard Croker waiting at the Hoff maa House headquarters for three-quarte/s of an hour between 5 and 6 p. in. yesterday, much ta tlie annoyance of Mr. Croker. The session was of more Importance than usual, becaui*. It is undr piood. Mr. Croker waX anxious to find out Just how much money the wealthy corporations, which have Fhown a friendliness for Mr. Shepard. are going to put up for the campaign. Mr. Shepard took enr-'ljil care that there t-hould be no mls understanding with Mr. Croker In this connection. He took *'.!!. li!m three men with long memories, Sheriff Walton.

He is entirely too tender for this neck of woods." Mr. Ehepard took dinner with Randolph Guggen heimer ano Sheriff Walton, and ttU r« -rd went to ihe Windsor Theatre. in the Bowery, to address a meeting.

Th. wi.-e and pract.cal ciersymM *e.-s clearly that the main thing to deal with is the future and lasting political condition of the city and not to rest all its great future on a temporary and disintegrating triumph <¦¦' the fuFion forces. The declaration by Chief Devery that he would continue to lw at ttir. hood of the Police Depart ment was ehown to Mr. Shepard. , "Nelthrr Mr. Devery nor any one else has any assurance from me or any Ht»t.-m-nt except f-u h «k 1 have made in my public speeches, which an? my platform, and which are Intended for the guidance of ihe people at large and slso of every citizen with a vote, whether h* holds office or not.

Askefl 1f he cared to reply to the further criti cism cf him by «arl Schurz on Saturday r.lght. Mr. Ehepard said: "1 will deal wi'h that in mv meech to-morrow night at Carnegie Hall.

Mr. Carroll said: "As to "putting up* for your organlta tion Mr. Campbell. I will see you to-morrow." The defection of O'Brfenltes was hardly a surprise te the fusion leader*. Since the iiomination of the fusion ticket Mr. O'Brien ui:d his friends have made etr<nuous efforts to get some sort of an as furimrf that after the election of Mr. Low they would be "taken care of." Not receiving this as- iThiice the O'Brienltea have beoß wavering. About half of the district leaders are still for Low and the fui>lor. ticket.

A tote for Low la a vote to dela>- rapid transit.— (Tammany po«t»r plastered ai<>ns the line ef the ¦übwar. Tammany's opposition to rapid transit and to the Rapid Transit Commis sion was notorious for years. Mayor Van Wyck was blatant in his opposition to the commission. Early in his administration he declared his approval of a bill to take tlie tunnel work out of the hands of the commission. He declared that the plane for an underground rapid transit road were impracticable, and that the tunnel could not be constructed without exceeding the city's debt limit. Other Tammany leaders were trying to prevent the beginning of work until they could arrange to get a •'rakeott." The work was kept free from Tam matty blackmail only by the determination of the commission and the aid of the State legislature. John Whalen, the Tammany Corporation Counsel, withheld his approval of the form of the rapid transit contract for many months. Then he gave his ap proval, and declared that he was a friend of rapid transit. The sudden change of front on the part of Tammany was said to be due to the belief of the leaders that they could secure a working agreement with the contractor. Departments of the city government have since made attempts to hold up the contractor and interfere with the work. The tunnel would have been com pleted by this time if the beginning of the work had not been delayed by Tam many. All this Is known to the thousands of people who read the flaming Tam many poster*, and it is perfectly well known that a vote for Seth Low will not delay rapid transit, bat will help prevent further Tammany delays in the work. The six Rapid Transit Commissioners are good judges of the \alue of Seth Low's work for rapid transit, and they are for Mr. Low for Mayor. They are Alexander K. ( >rr. president • John H. Starin. vice-president; George L. Rives, Woodbury Langdott, Charles Stewart Smith and Morris K. Jesup. Mr. Orr, who is a Democrat and a warm personal friend of Mr. Shepard, announced some days a~o that he would vote for Mr. Low. The commissioners know that Mr. Low a* Mayor will be an ex ofticio member of the Rapid Transit Commission, while Mr. Shepard, although be is defeated for Mayor, may still remain counsel for the commission. BLACK SPEAKS FOR LOW. "THE FALL OF SHKPARIV THE BURDEN OF THE EX-GOVERNOR'S SPEECH AT CARNEGIE HALL "The fall ftf Shepard l« the most humiliatlnß Pr^ctacle in KeW-Tortl politics for the last twenty-five years." «=ai<l Frank S. Black. ex-Governor of New-York, to a large audience In Carnegie Music Hall last evening. Mr Black did not spare the Tammany candi date for Mayor or mince words In describing him as a "demure but shameless figure, that n..w lends Itself tv the perpetuation of pre vailing infaml^. as a "political auctioneer." as a "reformer, but not a reformed man." and •» an accomplice, "who Is put in through the window while his associates stand outside." The fusion MUillm In Carnegie Hall was held under the aupplces of the Republican and Citi- BOH Union organizations of the XXIXth Assem bly District. *nd was presided over by Stat- Senator N. A. Elsbcrg. It was attended by many r>e"rle <rf tne "brownrtone dlhtrict.- and th-re were many stylishly gowned women in the audience. The hall was Sited to its utmost ca pacity, and there was no lack of enthusiasm. Ex-Governor Black was greeted with cheers when he «-. Nt on the platform, m applauded Ullll many times in his speech, and was cheered heartily when he sat down. Early in his speech Mr. Black declared that he would not waste time by preparing a cata logue of the sins of Tammany Hall, but would try to show that "the forces of corruption «rtU never be dislodged by th* absorption of one more weak and fallen brother who has yielded to their allurements." He called the Tammany , candidate "a rosebud of political righteousness severed from its stem." which was the most complimentary thing he had to say of the can didate. Then he said: This campaign will s»'-ow that be who WW.Mj w™oats?n youth la not half as s»d and ho;.e l.ss «k fc^ifho TbVain" to sow them tit an age when other "in*" havH quit. The nomination and support of Setl?lx>w will do more than any other thm< has done in recent "ears to sti. the., and elevate th cause of -eform. while the nomination and support of Sher.ard by the forces behind and at«.ve him will r>nWntly belittle and discredit the name and pretences of the profasakmal reformer. The fall of fthepard is the most humiliating spectacle iNcw- Y..rk r»olltics for .• quart.r of h oenturT- His se- uon'T.v Tammanj^Han and Us surrender to that body are confessions on the. part of both. Tam rnunv eonfeaa«s that its history and methods have lighted ii flame of public wrath, which can be quenched only by a pretence of better things, and flh»nard confesses that all his years of bitter denunciation of crime were intend. .l only to compel i!i»- criminals to bestow on him boom Kordld deoo ration When Tammany Hall is arraigned this v.ar for its notorious sin*, the Integrity of this town should not forset the demure hut hharm-l"" tigure than now lends itself to the peri»eiiation of nrevaillosr infamWs. Shepard is not a candi.lM.\ lie is «n accomplice. He is the man who is put In through the window while hln associates Stsnd outside on the ground. He is inserted through the opening, not because he is better, but dmojmh he i« newer and may avert suspicion. He is a reformer, 1.-.it not a reformed man. There is a vast distinction between these two terms. The reformer advises others to do rlEht, and there his duty end*, while the re formed man makes a brave sm>Kgle to lead an hon orable life himself. Fhepanf degrade* and cheap ens the reform Idea, beea— he shows that Tam many Hall ha* been utwd only as a soundlnc board to make his tones reach where they otherwise would not and when they have reached the proper ears and the proper recognition is forthcoming his tones »übt«i<le completely, and there Is nothing t.,-.rd but the, patter of Shepard's ntockinß feet moving in the dlr..tioji from which recognition comes He has be<n Hutching for yesrs at Tam manys throiw. and now he says, by every act and word since that fatal nomination, that he meant only to express a wild desire to become a bene ficiary of the methods he condemned. John S. Wise, who followed Mr. Black, In dulged In what he called "personalities." and denounced Croker. r>every and Van Wyck in unmeasured terms. He described Croker's rise to wealth, and asked "Where did he get it?" He answered the question In this way: "Croker Is the slop barrel of Tammany Hall. Into him goe« the campaign corruption fund. No ac counts are kept and no receipts are given." H« told a story about a business man who sent a check for $5,000 to the Tammany campaign fund ! and was later told by a Tammany man that his contribution for §2,000 was on record. "Any wonder that Croker can live In Wantage?" b« asked- "He surely don't live in want." ¦ Balnbridge Colby, the fusion candidate for Assemblyman; Jacob A. Cantor and the Rev. Dr. R. P. Mac Arthur made brief speeches. One thins that Dr. Mac Arthur said created both laughter and applause. It was: There are more wolves In sheen's clothing in this city to-day than ever before In its history.

Shepard. at a mass meeting under the auspices of the Brooklyn Democratic Club, In the Brooklyn Academy of Music last night, de voted his entire speech to th«» subject of publl« schools. There were three other Bpoahorß, and they spoke also about tlie public schools'- - Mr. Hhepard was choerod as he made. hl« way <lo\v?i the. long stage. He said that the first duty of the aew Mayor would be to deal with th« question of the police, becaoos that concerned questions of law and order; then he would take up the subject of schools. "Well." he continued, "it won't take the n»-.v Mayor lonsr to deal with these primary <iue.« tions of law and order and decency, so that there will l>e no material delay In coming to the qnOßtlon of the efficiency of the common schools of this city. I win strive to restore to Brooklyn and the other boroughs as well autonomy on the question of their school systems." After a brief period in the public schools Mr. Bhepard said he had entered the free college, which he characterized as th»» crown of the common school system, He thought it should t. ¦!:.! to tlevate and dignify the whole common Bchool system. "I look with animosity." said Mr. Shepard, "upon the system of harrying »nd curbing and driving the body of teachers as if Indeed they were not In the proper ssnas of. the word teachers, those who are to control, as If they were to be treated as some army almost of men f«nd women without wllhi of their own and without tastes of their o.vn. "The Journeys hither and thither from the corner of Klfty-ninth-nt. and Madlson-ave., In the borough of Manhattan, to Brooklyn, those Journeys are wearing, wearing to the health, wearlnc to the temper of men ami of women. The Superintendent of Instruction seems not always to have that complete control of his temper, not always to be so serene and so easy and generous In dealing with those who are compelled to com" to him as he ought to be. 1 make no charge or imputation. It may be that he has too much to do. It may be "that he would be wiser in some of these powers If they were left to us here at home, and if the parents and children might by proper and legal ptovlMon have some kind Of direct access to and control of the schools about which they know and must be able t.» know more than he, resid ing and doitiß his business at a very great dis tance." The other speakers were Dr. John Harrtgan, Andrer? McLean and Charles E. Robertson, president of the Brooklyn School Board RONNER SAYS LOW WILL CARRY BRONX.

In Morrlsanla Hall, One-hundred-and-seventleth-st. and Thlrd ave. Speaking of the campaign yesterday he said: Tammany Is making a assaorass linht and upend ing money as freely as water runs through a sieve. This lavish us»« of cash shows how thoroughly scared they are. l*p here in the Borough of T!if> Bronx we have voters who cannot b«- herded up or dragooned Into the Croker camp. They will give m handsome majority for the ticket headed by Sctli Low. Ah for myself, my friends In The Bronx know that when Louis J. ¦ Helntz died the Commissioner abip Of Public Improvements wan offered to me If I would consent M turn out the competent and hard working force which he had organized and pledge myself to give their places to Croker heel ers. I refused to take the office under such condi tions, and Louis F. Haffen obtained the place James L. Wells, fusion nominee for President of thlß borough, is a gentleman whom 1 have known and admired since- I grew to manhood. He upheld the arms of Helntx when we were battling for home rule and when Mr. Haffen wan an emnlnvo of the hostile park board acalnst which we were In revolt. Since that time Tammany has ruled this borough like a conquered province— mainly for loot Large saUi-lett have run on and been increased" while laborers on public works have been reduced to half time. It is unfortunate for Mr Haffen that it Is a. matter of public record that he voted with th» fm7 of the Croker gang for the 1300.000.0n0 Rama bo water echeme. It is also unfortunate for Mr >i if fen. as the Tammany leader, that The Uronx Hor* ough department Is weighed down to the scu PP with Sinecures and incompetents, who draw i-.t salaries and perquisites, while the workln^men ih. honest wage earners, are cut to half time ln tha summer as..n because the other fellows m) \u> the appropriations. James L. Wells will ,tand for no policy of that sort, and th« taxpayers of thu borough know it. as their votes nest week will prove. * *"' Now. Just one word In regard to who made the maps. Tammany's orators are giving Mr Haffrn credit for this. At our own headquarters imJ liundre«-and-(M»venHeth-st. and Thlrd-ave we" h-jl M.(-O copies of the maps, with a plan aiso^Af th Heintx Concourse, or Boulevard alfslgned by T^.H J. Helntr.

Continued from first pur. acting captain, back with him. Cray, the ser geant, Fromme and Sexton then held a short whispered consultation. Then Cray went be hind the railing and took charge, while the ser geant acted as clerk. "What's your name?" the sergeant asked of Wlnans. "Theodore S. Winan*." was the reply. "How old are you?" "Thirty-three years." "Where were you born?" Then Isaac Fromme begun to take a hand. "I'll bet it wasn't in this city," he said. "They none of 'em are born here, those Citizens Union fellows." "In New-York State." said Winans. "Listen to that," Isaac Fromme put in again. "In New- State. He's afraid to say where. He don't dare to tell. He's ashamed." "Do I have to stand this sort of thing?" Wlnans asked the sergeant. "As long as you were born in the United States." the sergeant began. "Make him tell where," said Isaac Fromme. "Where were you born?" he asked, turning to Wlnans. Winans turned to the sergeant. "Are you Kolns to ask me that question?" he asked. "I won't answer him." "Yes." answered the sergeant, "where was It?" "BronxvUle, Westehester County." replied Winans. "Va-ah." listen to that." broke In Isaac Fromme. "I told you he wasn't born here. Xone of those Citizens Union fellows are." "Where were your parents born?" the ser geant asked of Wlnans. "In the United State?," said Wlnans. FROMME INSULTS PRISONKR. Once more Isaac Fromme Interrupted. "He's ashamed of his parents." he said. "Listen to him. He's afhamed of 'em— ashamed to tell where they were born. I'll bet It was up in New-Eng latid *oine place. Hoi ashamed of 'em. Just listen to him." ' Sh-h"' said Pexton "Sh-h! Let him alone. "Captain." said Winans. turning to Croy. "do I have to be Insulted hhr.». -r.» by this man because I have been falsely arrested T' ¦Tin not Insulting him." said Isaac Fromme. "I'm just talking about his parents." When Winans had finished his pedigree and told that he lived at No. T/»7 West One-hundred and-twelfth-st.. the serg-'ant asked again who made |h« complaint. Ones more Patrolman Thompson pointed to Fromme, and said. "He makes th<» complaint." "So I don't." Fromme put In quickly. 'Com mlssloner Sexton and I are witnesses. The po liceman makes the complaint. "Don't you say anything." he added, as Sexton started to speak. "Don't you see that Tribune man there?" "Did you se# this man violate the law? asked the sergeant of Thompson. "No." answi red ThosßßSoa, "I d'.dn't see him. ' The sergeant turned again to Fromme. Fromme nodded and whispered to Acting Cap tain Croy. and Acting Captain Croy said, "ro llceman James H. Thompson makes the com plalnt." Thompson turned red and looked un comfortable, and nodded, and so It went on the blotter. Wlnans was told that he was held for violat ing ,-t corporation ordinance, and th;U h» would j, c released If h»- would furnish $100 ball. A telephone message waa sent lo the Citizens Union headauamrs and another one lo n per- Bonal friend of Winans. The frlen-1 Rot to las station first and balled Wlnaaa out.

Mr. Baldwin said lasl night to a Trlbwas re porter ' Mr Wlnans was not violating any clty ordinance when he pasted a Citizens Union poster over ons of Tammany's. The property was* not protected, either by belonging to an advertising firm or by belnp; marked with a 'Post no Mils' sign. Mr. Fromme had iv> right to have awr man aifsoted and accordingly we will take lmn;t diat«» steps to »v» him for falsa arrest.

Paddock, vicar of the Episcopal Pro-Cathedral, on the East Side: the Rev Dr. A. F. Schauffier. ef Manhattan, and James BL Reynold*, of th« Uni verslty Settlement. Partisan discussion was not permitted, and th* MUBjS of no poltti. il party or candidate was spoken. yet each speaker, in his earnest presentation of present conditions, BMOS it »o clear that the great est duty of honorable citizens at this time was to vote for the overthrow of Tammany Hall that the audience .was aroused to the depths, and several of them arose and declared they would work as they had never done before for an honest city ad ministration. I»r Schauffler «tartleii his audience by saying: "The sting of It all Is that the law enforcers o«up pos«U to br> are hand In hand with the law break ers. Lawyers and the presidents of corporation* :.r,- h.md in hand with the law breakers. The F. K. V s In Flfth-av€. and uptown Join hands with Devery and Croker. and make New- York a hell.

Clod'a curse on those men downtown"" Dr Schaufller also declared that many Christian bodies were almost cr.izy. even simple, in the meth ods tney employed In an effort to help the East Side. Dr. Paddock *aid he spoke for the district south of Flrst-st. and east of the. Bowery. He t.->M of th conditions in the past, and then said: "The streets are unspeakably dirty, Increasingly dirty to-day. Why, even for the sake of policy, they have not been made better Is beyond my com prehension. They were never so dirty, never so filthy, and I h »ye never known a ttme when th« sidewalks wer« so i.lock.d with boxes and barrels ' Mr. Paddock then »poke of the children and th« conditions under which they are brought up. with no room to develop healthy bodies and minds, no school factltles. It was no wonder, he said, that they grew up In \ lce and crime. Mr. Reynolds said that at the beginning of Mayor Strong's administration fifty thousand children were without school accommodations. In the la*t fall of the administration, he believed, every child was aoeoaaaMoejtee! la the last four years ther« has been a retrograde movement: more than fifty three thousand children have been barred out of school or put on half time. Mr Reynolds declared that the scattering of women of shame was not due to Dr. Parkhtir*t. but to ivputy Police Commissioner Devery, who started It when he was captain In the Eldrldse-st. station. DeTen before the I^xow Committee, had • '.• nl.-il the presence of any houses of 111 fame in his precinct. In order to "make ¦BOOT' he hnd to scatter the women around. Mr Revnolda said ho was living In the precinct at the time, •.¦!*¦¦¦¦ whnt he was talking about. "The last four years." said Mr. Reynolds, "have been depressing, because before that we had seen the budding of hopeful conditions, and we have seen It all swept away. But lam an optimist, and believe, we will see the dawning of a better day next week." HFnitU IV\ 11/\.s HIS > < / COUr.T OF" AFTKAI.S SATS Kl> NAME MfST BH PRINTED "N THE OFFICIAL BALLOT. Albany. N.
