Says He Has Removed Tammany Abuses from Department. The city Club's report on the Departs i of < hantjci;, the second of a series of pamphlets' on tin principal city departments, was made public yesterday. After brief mention of the Charities Department from ISSS to 1687, under Mayor Strong. the department under the Tammany regime of. Mayor Van "U'yck and Commissioner John W. Kci ]<r -was taken irp, the paper Baying: The dir«.ction of the business of the department •R-as left laxsely In the hands of his subordinates. The present administration has discovered abuses ■w-hicb. Mr. Keller could have abolished at any time r-y a mere executive <.rd»r His political advance ■MOt having been due to the personal influence of Richard Croker he was hampered by the resulting nblication to administer his office in a way satis factcr^- to Mr. Croker and Tammany Hall. The or* ra-tic-ris of the "undertakers' trust." the ad ministration of the department of outdoor poor. the practice of transferring moribund cases fiom hoKpitals. the stinting cf hospital patients and nlm«>hou6e inmates in goods and clothing, the use by department officials of city employes as per sonal servants, the unbusinesslike method in order- Ing supplies— all these and other abuses existed under Mr. Keller. Speaking of the department as at present, with Homer l'olks as Commissioner, the report says: Mr. ;',.;ts owed his appointment to his obvious f.tnes?. and not In any degree to "influence" t»r party considerations. Commissioner Folks found on the payrolls cf tbe Charities Department a cer tain proportion of inefficient, rough. superflnons. and ■ en dishonest persons. Commissioner Fcrlks has made it his practice to dismiss summarily for violations of the rul-es. Drunkenness, brutality or absence ■without leave— offences of which the em ployes ww formerly often guilty with compara 'iv« immunity— now "lead to prompt dismissal. An oid abuse was the transferring of dying patients from one hospital to another. Since the order of January 16. ■'-»-. was Issued there has been a salutary reduction •'n the number of transfers, and th*i transferring i ' moribund cases for the pur rK.-!re of keeping down the death rate has prac tiiiUly ceased. Ciedit is then given Mr. Folks for his great suc eesE in breaking ap the "undertakers' trust" and tbe requisitioning by superintendents of city cm rlojt-s i.s personal servants His success in im proving conditions of the bedding and clothing ryrtera <ajd his changing tableware tarn tin to china are atfeo noted. In speaking of the old Department of Outdoor Poor under the headir.s "Bureau of Dependent Adults." the following is said: Tt torm "became apparent to Commissioner Folks that affair* had been mismanaged in tilt .Depart ment of Outdoor Poor in Manhattan and The Bronx. This bureau was under the management of O'tsrge BJalt. Superintendent of Outdoor Poor. <'on2mJssioucr Folks found that Mr. Blair's meth ods in the management of the bureau were di;a trry arid iißsatiEfactory. On March T, '."2. the < 'otnmissioner teooved Mr. Blair, and appointed E Im-arrt F\ it Twin in his place.

THE OLD RELIABLE ' POWDEgi Absof utely Pure THERE 15 NO SUBSTITUTE IT AMUSES EMPLOYERS. Board of Building Trad Attack* Recent Organization. Th". United Board of Building Trad"?, the organization of the workmen, yesterday passed (■everal resolutions directed against th- movem«yit •■• orsranizo the employers in the building trades into a impact association. The resolutions accuse the employers of conspiracy in combining to "stultify competition." and declare that the recent meetings for organization were called for "illegal and currupt purposes." The resolutions authorised the apointment of a committee of rive "to gather such, data, together with the. names of such con tractors, sub-contractors and others who may be engaged in such unlawful practices of combination, and that such 'ism's, together with all such evi dence, as may be acquired by said committee, be submitted to the proper authorities, with the view of ending such pernicious practices in the future and with a \i«?w to the public denunciation of Those who adopt or participate In such unfair and Ira proper methods of business.'* WTsen information of the. resolutions reached the. employers at the Building Trades association. It created some amusement and satisfaction. Most of the employers there said it was plain that the •workmen's organization had become alarmed. "That is a wail of distress." said L. K. Prince. "For the first time we have got them where we, want them." , _ _ "Of course we conspire," said Charles 1... tio- V.tz, of the Electrical Association, "that is what men are given brains for. to beat the other men in fair competition. We still insist that, the object of our organization -was not opposition of organ ized labor." The workmen's organization yesterday voted no« to take back into the union the Brotherhood Car penters who withdrew last sumwr. The refusal will enable the employers to support one organ ization of carpenters against th" other, if they choose. BROXX BUILDERS JOIN. To Affiliate with Central Body of Organized Employers. Captain Charles Baiter, president of Th". Bronx Building Tradt Employers* Association, presided at the second meeting of that body held last night at Loefflers Hall. Oiib Ihiimlh ami fnrtr rirTith rt and WilliE-ave. The hall was well filled -with enthusiastic repre sentatives of the various trades. They were ad dressed by Vice-President Philip Fr°und"nma<*h«>r. by Arthur Acht«?nder. Daniel Sherry and Oasimir iJofink. who explaine-d the objects of the associa tion end asked those present to support its prin ciples, which were read by the. secretary. Henry Wright. The association is r.ot opposed to organize.-! labor or trade unions, insomuch as such unions protect lab in its endeavors to obtain he best wages and shortest hours for competent mechanics. It declares, however, that a? this country is es tablished on the basis of pure liberty, every decent man has the right, guaranteed to him by the constitution, to sell his labor at the best pos sible price, whether he is affiliated with a union or not, and thus be enabled to earn an honest living for his family. The association will not recognize any so-called board of walking; delegates or shop stewards, as such bodies are irresponsible, and in most. ca*«=.« are composed of the most unworthy '■!?>«? of work. men.

The members of the syndicate formed to under write the conversion of United States Steel Cor poration preferred stock into bonds yesterday re ceived from J. P. Morgan & Co. a letter inform ing them that the firm was ready to exchange for the new bonds the balance of SOVOO shares of the United States Steel Corporation's preferred stock deposited with them, and which was not required for exchange under the syndicate's agreement, only on the understanding that the bonds will b- held on deposit on the same terms as th» bonds al ready received under the syndicate, agreement of March 12. 1902.

The amount of stock r«qulrfd from the syndicate under It* guarantee, it Is now •-aid, i* the difference between the syndicate s 5S0.O«>.000 and thf $45,000,000 or so turned in by out fride holders, leaving MS.QOQ.O9O of the preferred stock stiil in the possession of the syndicate.
