GAYXOR 0\ JUDICIARY.
C RITICISES Til A W CA SE.
Sagg Trial Judges in New York
County Arc Too Lenient.
runhrMge Ma« . May Injustice William J.
Gaynor spoke to the- Harvard Law School to-night
a.ft«r dining with the faculty. His subject was
"The Realities of Legral Practice." lie spoke of the
conduct of the Thaw case and of the administra
tion of justice In New York County. He said:
I must assume thai .-.••. know that the everyday
Vrnctlc*- of the law in the State at New York Is
>ict in accordance with the examples of It which
jou ■ ..ii of in the county of New York; for, If
j-ou thought II was, you would not Invite any one
from that Mate to Instruct you In legal practice.
Sonic ot our newspapers are frequently condemning
th: 1 metl:**! of trying: causes In the city of New
York, as they call It They do not seem to know
that the higher Judicial system is founded on tho
counties, not on the cities; thai there are four
'■ountie- within the limits of the city of New York,
and that in three of them the trial of causes Is
i-ntirelj regular and normal, the crime as In Eng
land, Massachusetts or New Jersey, for Instance.
The counties at King*, Queens and Richmond know
of n.i such thing as taking weeks to select a jury
In nny case, however notorious. It Is a matter of
bourn, m the longest, and a case which tnkeg
week* or months to try In the county of New York
would I.' tried in any of them in a day or a few
days A mere, dirty, vulgar murder ease la not
turned into sensationalism or grotesiiuejness there;
It is trifd right oft th« reel, as the saying is. The
presiding Judge then- permits no nonsense nor
delay. He understands that he is no mere autom
aton, required 10 tit on the bench looking- meek
and «)f« or f=tm>id. quite helpless, and limited In
his powers to rule on objections made by the law
yer*, while they do as they please, I.*1 .* understands
that he is put there with ample power to control
and shape the case, and exclude everything irrele
vant, dilatory and trifling from it. whether It lie
first objected to by the lawyers or nor. He under
stand* that the proper judicial temper, as it is
cs'.l'-d, Is not that of ■ mere nonenlty.
The laws of New York contemplate a llv« nnd
uWt man for Judge, as in England. Trial by Jury
means by Judg« and Jury, the Judge being In con
trol and exercising a legitimate Influence in reach
line; a truthful verdct. You iisaw we had a recent
oas* over in New York that took about three
month.". We have, had many others there which
were protracted in th" •nine way during recent
Sears. They have caused the administration of
justice In New York to be viewed with astonish
ment and f>eri«ion all over the country- But tho.
evil is only local to the; county of New York, as T
have said, nnd the bench and bar of the rest of
the state repudiate It and are not vet much in
fected by It.
After the recent trial some of our newspapers
hud much advlc» .m what should be done to pre
vent such delays and grotesque, proceedings In th«
courts. They suErs-ested that the trial Judge bo
riven more control; that the rules of evidence b«
changed; that Insanity experts be limited to a
lioard established by law. and so on. If they would
stop to think that a trial Judge m New York
County has the same power as a trial judge in the
three other counties of the city, or anywhere In
the state, or In the state of New Jersey or Massa
chusetts, for Instance, and that the same rules of
evidence and the same rules of procedure exist in
the county of New York as elsewhere "throughout
the state and country, their criticisms would be
very different. They would inquire why the same
conditions produce such different results in the
county of New York. They would perceive the evil
to be local only; that it Is not In the system itself,
but in the way It is locally administered. If a
medical witness, for instance, is cross-examined
for four days instead of for half an hour, and th»
time taken up day after 'lay with harangues, bick
erings, long arguments of elementary propositions,
trifling adjournments, and so on. it is because the
tri«l Judge permits It when he is intrusted with
nmple power to limit cross-examinations and dis
cussions and conduct the trial with expedition. In
telligent expedition is not baste. This la a matter
for the judiciary and the bar^o speak plainly abo-it.
Justice Gaynor spoke of oratory and the demeanor
©f lawyers, In addition to points of practice, a:«
follows :
Much harm Is done to law students by sending
them out with exaggerated notions about others
er>A the examples they are to follow. They arts
told that Erekfne, Scarlett. Webster, Rufua t'hoate.
Kvartg. O'Coßor, and so on. never lost » cas«> i»r
seldom when they probably lost more than they
area; for as ■ lawyer's ability and fame grow more
difficult cases come to him. "Butler prevailed over
Choate. right along after '.* got under way as a.
young man. And a false notion la conveyed about
orators and oratory. They are pictured aa • '■■
nonier.al. You are told, for Instance of the (Jodlike
Webster, and his towering presence But the late
Senator Hoar tell* us In Ma memoirs thai Webster
weighed only 167 pounds and was only five feet ten
Inches high. Tie was of quiet and ordinary appear
nnee. and even sluggish, unless aroused. In the
trial st 1 lawsuit b« was methodical and painstak
ing to the last degree. He rellfd on the facts and
The law. and not on th* mere use of word*. With
out the facts words are useless.
The requisites of oratory are. first, the matter:
second, the man of probity and chars ■- b-hlnd
the matter, and last and least, the manner of de
livery. If the matter and the man be r.ot there,
your orator is not there however brilliant his rhet
oric. I do not depreciate a go'«i delivery. But a
mere rhetorician is not an orator. There is 1 vas:
difference hetwt-en n rhetorician and an orator. If
there be the matter and the man and a fair de
llverr. you haw the orator. But the most brilliant
delivery without the matter and the man does not
make the orator. Most of the great orators of the
world have r.ot been brilliant speaker*, but only
fairly (food speakers. You need to know all of
thin so as not to attempt too much In speaking.
l>o not try too hard. Be plain and simple, If your
■abject naturally leads you to some warmth and
vehemence at certain points, let l! be in i •:•• pro
portion. But do not k-- j. it :-.. all the. time. Re
atmber that the ocean r-t-\e r lashes Itself into a
tor;*?', merely to waft a feather or drown a fly.
Read and memorize Hamlet's speech to the play
am. If you understand >our subject you will make,
others understand It, and that is the all-essential
thiaz. Lawyers who are merely glib are a. bore.
They talk a* though they had been to a feast of
l*s?aagt*s and stolen the scraps, but they say noth
ing anil do no good They weary every "•'" Do
not trr to be overpolinhed in raeech or tnn«r.
It palls. If a:iy one recommend thai you practice
oratory before a mirror, pay to him nay. No one
guilty of such foolery could have the genuine heart
ana nature which are essential to an orator. The
orator I* more r'j;ged than pojished. My expe
rience is that able juf-n are, as a rule, simple In
manner and ordinary in appearance.
Olcero tells you what an ordinary looking man
r«*ar was as he sat adjusting his hair so nicely
and scratching his head with one Anger. No one
would *uep**-t the vast designs he Y.\9 capable of
ssseajving and accomplishing. The Almighty sel
dom P'ltP a large mind in an Imposing exterior, and
never in a pompous on*. I'se simple word*, al
way a of one syllable Instead of two if you can
t*t them. Tultivat" condensation and brevity of
speech if one word suffice, do not use two, and
court* and juries will bless you and you will grow
In fame. Nay, more, th* 1 power of silence Itself
Is aflen b?yor:d that of words.
Be natural and courteous to the court arid your
Opponent, but not servile nor effusively polite, for
that is offensive aad the greatest of Impoliteness
Be natural. Do not try to be witty. It Is annoy
lr.g-. If you have the faculty of wit it will now and
then thow Itself naturally. And. of all things,
never be pompous. The able lawyer who goes Into
hia case simply will grow larger nil through It,
while his pompous adversary grows smaller all th«
■■"Hie. The contrast is ludicrous to Judge and Jury,
and «oKi«timeK painful.
Be a man first and * lawyer second. I'" not be
<^"r.» '- appearance and manner a mere parchment
lawyer, lou can avoid this by voting yourself to
f*n*r'ii literature a* well as the law. Read the
Bible, Khakeppesr*-. Bacon. Milton and your class

MR. ASQTJITH'S BUDGET
Financing Social Questions at the
Expense of Inherited Wealth.
London, April 18.
How can social reforms be financed? Since
tlio general elections this has been the supreme
question of British politics, and It makes the
Budget an event of paramount Importance. The
Labor party, with trades unionism behind it,
cannot be put off indefinitely with evasions and
platitudes. A year ago It acquiesced when Mr.
Asquith pleaded for time for introducing re
trenchment and putting .the Treasury in order
i after a wasteful period of Unionist extrava
gance. This year it Is more critical and impa
tient when excuses are offered for dilatory meas
ures. The Labor members are indifferent to the
claims of income taxpayers for a reduction of
burdens. They are not interested in financial
arrangements for increasing: sinking fund*, rais
ins: the price of consols and scaling down the
national debt. They are unwilling to have social
reforms blocked by lack of money. When there
j la an available surplus of considerable magni
tude they unite In declaring that a beginning
should be made of a system of old age pensions,
If their policies cannot be carried out under ex
isting conditions of Free Trade finance, they
will face about and find out what can be done
for them with a tariff on manufactured goods.
The tariff reformers are already bidding for
their support by declaring that old aero pensions
and other democratic reforms cannot be hoped
for without largely Increased revenues from In
direct taxation. Mr. Asquith has known that
this may become the dominating issue at the
next general elections. He has perceived tho
necessity for proving that the financing of social
questions under Free Trade is not a hopeless
undertaking. If he has not been able to report
a direct start with old ago pensions, he promises
that Fomething will be done next year. The
Liberal government will not only restore na
tional credit by debt paying and retrenchment,
but It will also march boldly into "the uncon
quered territory of social reform" under the
Free Trade flag.
What is described a* a democratic budget re
duces taxation on earned Incomes less than
£2.000. and makes up the losses by increased
. death duties on large estates. These changes
! are in line with one of the two recommendations
of the select committee, of which Sir Charles
Dilke was chairman. The committee favored
the graduation of the income tax !>o as to give
Increased relief to persons of moderate means,
and also differentiation between earned and un
earned income. Systematic graduation is de
ferred apparently to another budget. Prefer
ential treatment la accorded to a larga class
of people of moderate Incomes, as distin
guished from property owners or holders of In
vestments. The tax is left at a shilling for all
incomes over £2.000, and three pence will be
taken off all earned incomes below that level
In addition to all other abatements. There will
be a lower rate for lawyers." doctors, civil ser
vants, merchants or manufacturers whose earn
ings are dependent upon personal effort, and
there will be a higher rate for those receiving
Incomes from Investments, dividends or house
property, it Is a rough process of differentia
tion, by which one class continues to be heavily
bled In order that another class may be relieved:
and the losses are made tip by Increased death
duties and the creation of what are styled "super
taxes" on millionaire estates. Th* burdens nt
Income earners are eased up on the theory that
their capita} ■ •.<- with life, whereas Invest
ments and real estate remain after death. The
grip of the Pead Hand Is strengthened upon
largo estates until it becomes fairly predatory.
Mr. Gladstone, while a convinced Free Trader,
never liked Income taxation. He.considered It
unjust It) operation, and if he had been sup
ported In one <.f his appeals to th« country h"
n ight have taken it off altogether, or nt least
have reduced it to a low point. Lord Avebury,
who was in his confidence, has explained that
the substitute for it would have been largely In
creased death duties. The kingdom since Mr-
Gladstone was at the treasury baa been paying
a shilling Income tax so long that It has ceased
to be regarded as a war tax, and a' the same
time the ••state, legacy and succession duties
have been enlarged with cumulative effect, until
they yield annually more than th* income tax
used to do when it was elghtpence on the pound.
The existing death duties, by which 1 per cent
of 'states less than £500 and 8 per cent of those
over (1,000,000 can be claimed by the treasury,
while legacy duties range from 1 to 10 per cent,
may properly be described as a deferred Income
tax and a graduated scale. The estates when
passing in Buc.cfßs.ion or distributed by will are
forced to pay what is equivalent to an Income
tax ranging from sixpence to a shilling over :i
term of years. Sometimes the same estate is
tapped twice In a single year. Kir Frederick f
vVlgan, Bart., recently died, leaving an estate of
{£90,000, and his eldest son followed him In th»
course of a few weeks, and in consequence of '
two successions about £70.000 will fall Into tho !
treasury. The death duties as Sir William
Harcourt left them involved a fairly complete
graduation of large Incomes. With the new
system of Increased percentages on estates over
£150,000 and "super taxes" on estates over
£1,000,000. until on the late Lord AUendaln'B In
vestments and properties 10 per cent is taken on
♦he first million and 15 per cent on every suc
cessive million,- there will be a comprehensive
system of differentiation between earned and in
herited Incomes, with brokerage for the state on
an enormoux scale.
Mr. Asquith's budget Is th« most experimental
and speculative one of recent years. He ap
preciates the uncertainties of his forecasts and
estimates, and supplements them with sweeping
proposals for administrative changes and im
proved methods for appraising and collecting
the income tax. The processes of differentiation
between earned and unearned incomes will be
most complex when it Is generally conceded that
those derived from professions, trades and mer
cantile business represent about 70 per cent of
the entire yield; and while th« limitation of the
abatement of threepence to earned Incomes
under £2,000 shuts out all the largo fortunes, it
is fairly certain that the methods of administra
tion will be more inquisitorial and vexatious.
The increased returns from higher death duties
and "super taxes" on millionaires' fortunes aro
likely to prove a serious disappointment from
the revenue point of view. Lord Milner. who
was the expert behind sir William Harcourt, has
already sounded a warning that tills method of
taxation has been carried as far as is safe, and
that "realized wealth is not the inexhaustible
milch cow that some people think." There is
much in the budget proposals to encourage rich
men to distribute their wealth during life in or
der to avoid confiscation. There Is also more
than a little to frighten investors and to drive
capital abroad. The relations between direct
and Indirect taxation, which have been reversed
since Cobden's time, are not changed by the
democratic budget. The burdens are shifted
from one class of income taxpayers to another,
and the account Is balanced by Increased death
duties. Indirect taxation remains a heavy levy
on a few articles of general consumption, and
la that way Is. as Lord Mllner has described it,
"a sort of graduation against poverty and In
favor of wealth." Direct taxation bearing more
and more heavily against capital and Inherited
wealth becomes the last bulwark of Free Trade,
behind which the Liberals, with much search-
Ing of heart, are rallying for an onrush for
social reform. X> N. F.
IRELAND'S EXPOSITION.
Opening To-day — The Site, Build
ings arid Exhibits.
Dublin. May X— The Irish International Inhi
bition, which will be opened here to-morrow. Is
designed to revive the drooping Interests of -the
country and at the same time present a picture
of Irish development and progress. Men of all
classes, creeds and politics, headed by the Mar
quis of Ormond, have worked lndefatigably. and
a guarantee fund of nearly $1,000,000 has been
raised. The exposition Is greater than any pre
volusly attempted In Ireland.
Arrangements ar<» being mad*> by the Kngltsh
railway and steamship companies to transport
great numbers of visitors to the capital, and their
officials say they are prepared to carry between
40.000 and 60,000 passengers dally during July ami
Auenist. The opposition shown by the National
ists has somewhat abated, and the show prom
ises to be successful. Comparatively few foreign
nations have become Interested In the enterprise.
Among those taking part are France, Italy and
Japan. The principal colonies have sent fine ex
hibit*.
The site, which Is within easy reach of* Dublin,
Is convenient to the grounds of the Royal Dublin
Society at Balisbrldge. and the fifty acres which
It embraces contain many to* buildings. The most
Imposing of those is tho large central hall, with
its dome 150 feet high. It commands view of
Dublin and Kingston Harbor.
The Central Palace is built In th« Italian Renais
sance style. It has four rectangular wings, which
contain Irish manufactures. The Palace of Indus
tries Is a huge building, largely occupied by Irish
manufacturers, but Italian and Japanese exhibitor"
have important sections in It. Th« Palace of
Mechanical Arts Is divided into four sec
tions devoted to transportation, engineering, ma
chinery and a generating plant for power ana
light. The Palace of Fine Arts, which has a floor
space of 30,000 feet, contains an Irish historical
collection. In addition to the British and foreign
collections of painting, statuary and tapestries.
Canada has a pavilion to herself, and so has
France, and there, Is a concert hall capable of seat
ing two thousand persons. '
For several mnnthn committees hay* been at
work in I»ndon and Dublin obtaining loans of
works of art. Many of th« men on the London
committee were members of the body responsible
for pending the collection of art exhibits from Lon
don to St. Louis, and they express the opinion that
the collection which will be shown In Dublin will
be the greatest and most valuable ever seen in any
country.
BELASCO IX SUIT.
French Writer Wants Royalties on
Play Called "La Dv Barry."
.lean Rfchspin, a French writer, has brought suit
against David Belasco to recover royalties he. al
leges are due him on a pUiy named M La Dv Barry.
Which b« contends was played successfully in this
country under the name "On Harry." At the. vre-
Uminary examination yesterday by Ds,»W May on
order of Justi.-e. Amend, Mr. Belssco swore he re
turned Rlchepin "La t>u Harry" anil himself wrote
"Dv Barry" for Mrs. Carter. When It came, to
money matters. Mr. Belasco told the counsel for
the Frenchman that he knew little about those
things.
Ho said he himself never had books, never saw
them and didn't wish to; that he couldn't tell
within thousands of dollars what his earning* as
a playwright and manager were. He said he nirea
managers for that purpose. He recalled that Dv
Barry* 1 was first played In Washington, but could
not remember the date nor the number of nigtus
It ran, , >.»■».
"What were your, receipts the opening nignt.
he wm« asked
•i don't know." Mr Belasoo replied. ......
•What were your receipts for the four nights!
Insisted Mr. May
"Mr. May, I tell you honestly I don't know, re
plied Kela*'cn "I never pay any attention to money
matter* I da the artistic part and the other peo
ple do the rest. 1 could not tell you within thnu
p.-tiuls of dollars how much my receipts have heen
In the \«arK I have hem in the business.'
After" the irnmenl -Mr. Belascn said Rlche
pln'a 1..-1. I'll Barry" after he rejected it and long
after Belasco's "Dv Barry" had been » success was
played by Mrs James Brown Potter In I^ondon and
was a failure. Belai added also thai the failure,
i.f the play "broke" Mrs Potter's backer.

(JETS NEW ALTAR PIECE
Acquisition of Metropolitan Attrib
uted to Luis Borassa.
Probably the most striking; of the recent ac
cessions to the Metropolitan Museum of Art is
the altar piece of St. Andrew, from the Church
of Perpignan. The piece, which Is considered to
bo one of the best examples of the Catalan school,
so. called because it flourished In Catalonia, with
Us centre at the capital. Barcelona, is attributed,
but not with entire certainty, to Luis Borassa. one
of the best known members of the school and Its
leader In the early part of the fifteenth century.
Apart from the modicum of attention that has been
given to this particular school by students of the
Renaissance and the fact that It is the work of
one of the best exemplars of the Catalan group, the
value of its acquisition by the Metropolitan Is em
phasized by the rarity of good examples of the
school now extant. For beyond his dated altar
pieces at Vieh and Manresa. but few of the reta
bles painted by Borassa in the first quarter of the
fifteenth century have survived the march of time.
St. Andrew himself Is the subject of the centre
panel, grouped about which are five other smaller
panels, depleting scenes in the life of the saint
or incidents In th* life of Christ. Beneath these
ia a base of seven smaller panels, four of which
are in a remarkably good state of preservation.
Among the paintings, the acquisition next in im
portance to that of the altar piece, which was
purchased from the income of the Rogers fund. Is
Ranger's landscape of "Hlghbrldge," painted in
1906. This is the gift of William T. Evans. Thera
Is also a marine by Wsa. Gedney Bunce, purchased
from the Income of the Meant fund.
Most notable among the new sculptures Is the
bronze group of Edgar Walter, entitled, "Primi
tive Man." tho gift of Isaac N. Sellgman. At the
end of his outstretched right arm this command-
Ing specimen of the aborigine holds a cub, snarl
ing its submission to the master animal.
Daniel Chester. French has also presented his
bronze bust of Ralph Waldo Kmerson to the Mu
seum, and there are two companion bronze groups
by Macmonnies, "The Horse Tamers," among the
recent purchasers of sculpture. Another new pur
chase is the bronze group by Solon Borglum, "On
the Borders of White Man's Ijuid." There is also
a smaller bronze by the same sculptor, entitled
"Bulls Fighting," and a bronze statuette of the
head of Victors by St. Gaudens.
From the Stanford White collection are exhibited
m early Spanish glided and carved wood doorway,
with Iron gate, and a Venetian wooden cheat, In
iald with ivory, and dating- from the latter part
of the seventeenth century.
Announcement was alsn mrtd« yesterday that
Mrs. Amelia B. Lazarus, the widow of the artist.
had bequeathed to the Museum the sum of $20.0 «\
to be applied to the pun-has** of works of art by
American artists. In addition, her collection of
pictures will be split up between the local Museum
and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Mrs.
Lazarus, it will be recalled, with her daughter.
Miss Emily Lazarus, gave $24,000 for the establish
ment of the Jacob H. Lazarus Travelling Scholar
ship Fund. The recipient of the Income of this
fund has the opportunity of four years' study In
Kurope, the only stipulation being that the holder
devote himself to the study of mural painting.
IXSPECTOH A-SLEUTHING.
Pull* Out Poolroom Outfit Right
Off Broadway.
Following up his raid of Thursday on Broadway,
Inspector John Russell, of the First Inspection
district, together with Captain Gallagher, of the
Church street station, raided an alleged poolroom
on the top floor of the three story building at No. 3
Barclay street, just around the corner from Broad
way, yesterday afternoon and arrested three men.
One of trT**Tn. wno gave his name as Thomas Keeley,
of No. 409 Ocean avenue. Jersey City, is charged
with kee-jing and maintaining a poolroom. The
other two— William R. Carter, a negro. of No. 224
West 63d Street, and William J. Haggerty. of No.
IfCO Dedfqjrd avenue. Brooklyn, are accused of aid-
Ing and abetting Keeley In his undertaking.
The inspector got a tip yesterday that the rooms,
which for a number of years the police have sus
pected of being used as a gambling house and
poolrooms, were ratling full blast. In company
with several of his detectives he set out for the
building, nt the entrance of which he met Captain
Gallagher and several of his men. The party -went
upstairs to the third floor and knocked on
the door, which was opened by a negro. A
superficial examination of the room disclosed
nothing. While the police were moving about a
telephone bell "rang, but no instrument was visible.
After a search It was found that the telephone
was concealed In th« bottom step of a flight of
stairs. Th" step had been arranged as a drawer.
With the telephone were found several racing and
"dope" sheets.
As the inspector picked up the telephone it rang
S| ita, and he answered It. A voice at the other
end said: "For God's sake. Is there anything the
natter with you up there?"
"No; we are fine and dandy up here," the In
spector replied.
"Well, then, here is the third race: 'Jamaica.
Watterson. 6 to 5. Notter up. won.' Say. your
voice doesn't sound right to me. Bud. so good
night • ,
That was enough for the inspector, who ordered
the prisoners taken to the Church street station.
The nine prisoners taken by Inspector Russell at
No. y>s Broadway in his raid on Thursday were
arraigned In the Tombs Police Court yesterday be
fore Magistrate Breen. Counsel for the prisoners
a. ke<t for a postponement, and the magistrate flxe»i
Monday at 10 o'clock, as the time for examina
tion. In the- mean time the prisoners are out on
ball.
COUNSEL FEE FOR MRS. DOTSON.
Justice O'Gorman. in the Supreme Court, yester
day awarded a counsel fee of $1,000 and WOO a
month alimony to Mrs. Emma R. Dotson, who Is
piling her husband. Napoleon Bonaparte Dotson.
a promoter, of No. 66 Broadway, for a separation
on the grounds of cruelty and non-support. Mrs.
Dotson says that she married the defendant In
1887 and that they have two children. She says
that In the summer of 1904 her husband became In
fatuated with a young woman stenographer who
was in his employ, and was in the habit of tak
ing her to dinner and to the theatre. She says
that she remonstrated with her husband and thai
he abused her in the presence of both their chil
dren Mrs Dotson also says that her husband
offered to maintain her If she would bring a col
lusive divorce suit against him. and that when
she refused to do so he. threatened to desert hex"
altogether. Mr. Dotson, through his attorney, de
nies say wrongdoing.
JOB FOR ANTI-MCARRENITE.
J Thomas R. Farrell, the anti-McCarren leader of
the IMB Assembly District. Brooklyn, was appoint
ed Superintendent of tho Bureau of Highways by
Borough President Bird S. CoKr yesterday. Far
rell la an old Shevlln man and one of the few lead
ers In Brooklyn whom Senator Mc« barren has failed
repeatedly to down. Politicians view his appoint
ment as evidence that Coler has determined to
ally himself with Shevlin. but the Borough Presi
dent maintains that It has no political significance.
Coler accepted th« resignation of Frank J. Ulrlch.
Fnrrell's predecessor, yesterday. L'lrlch was sus
pended upon his own request several months ago.
when h.> was Indicted on charges of accepting
money for placing men in his office as corporation
Inspectors. He took an appeal to the Supreme
Court, but lost and must stand trial.

From The New York Press.
At any rate. MeClellan embraces the tiger.
"COMPROMISE IS SURRENDER."
From The Now York Times.
Compromise with Murphy, or even with the Sul

"THE MAYOR'S AMIABLE WEAKNESS."
From The New York World.
"The World" prefers to believe for tha present
that nothing worse should be said of this McClol

evidence el the Mayor's amiable weakness and his
inability to govern without a boss.
FEATHBRSON. EX-REFORMER.
From The Evening Post.
If it means merely a truce with Murphy for lack
of strength and vigor to carry on the fight at
present, nothing much has been gained. There is
a substantial advantage, however, In his change
of political advisors; Mr. Ellison la a tar better
one than Maurice Featherson. whose posing as a
reformer would make a great hit in a comic opera,
but nowhere else.
