MreWellman asked the witness If she had beenan inmate of Rhoda Sanford's house at 24 l!ayrd street. She replied that she had lived then several months last year. Sometimes then) were as many as six girts In the house and sometimes more. Strange men were let In at all times. The witness used to work tn a silk mtl?t Paterson. She went to live In Rhoda Harford's house on Dec. 23. 1802. Capt. Crow i in charge of the Eleventh precinct at that time. Between December, 180 J, and February. 1803, when Capt. Cross left the precinct, the witness was in the house. The police never molested the Inmate while she was there. The house wa raided twice by Capt. Devery, and ibsjienrd Mrs, Sanford tar that Capt. Cross had Miled her, Mrs. Sanford, the witness said, was very bitter against the police for raiding her house. Maggie Smith, alias "Annie nooney," testl tied that in the middle of July, 1802, she was an Inmate of 24 Bayard street. The place was run openly. While she was there the house was raided by Capt. Devery and Capt. Cross. She was arrested each time. The piano was kept going for about six months after Capt. Devery rame to the precinct. The lights were turned lip and business was done openly. Between the two raid there was no piano playing, the lights were kept turned down, and no strangers were admitted. Onco the witness solicited Capt. Heverx on the street. He went Into the house on that occasion and had a talk with Mrs. Han ford. JIUly Hoyt, who kept a road house at Williams bridge, was a partner of Mrs. Han ford in the luyard street house, and the two con darted the house at Willlamsbrldge together. Edward. Kllpatrlck, the builder, who was a witness before the I,exow Committee, testified sgalgst Officer Burns. Mr. Kllpatrlck said he first met Officer Burns In the early part of 1800, when he was engaged In the construction of the Edison hullding. at 42-14 Broad street. Burns came along In plainclothes and Introduced him self as the ward man. Burns said that as Mr. Kllpatrlck was putting up a building there he uould know the ward man. "The police can be of assistance to you." Hums said to the witness. " You will have to put up abridge over Broad street and another one on New street for pedestrians. It will be 13.10 for each bridge and we will put an officer b-re to look out fo things." "I expressed great surprise at his demand," continued Mr. Kllpatrlck. "The officer said to me that all the builders paid It except Dave King, and that I would have to pay It, too. The nett time I saw Officer Burns he came tn me snd Hid Well, you haven't seen me yet. I told Mui I did not intend to 'see' him. and that h rould see me at anytime he wanted. After hat my men were arrested on several occasions, although L had a permit from the Department of Publln Works to put bridges across the side walks. The next time I saw Hurnswaa at the Old Slip police station. I went there to see about the arrests of my men, and as I was stand-Ingln-theoflJreDuraarameoiit of a side room nd sa'd tome: 'Everything Is all right, a mis. Use has been made; you will have no trouble.' He took me by the arm and fairly pushed me out pf the station house. I paid nu money to Hums or any other policeman.'' .In answer to Law)rT House's questions. Builder Kllpatrlck admitted that at the time of mi flrt conversation with Officer Burns he had no porralt to build bridges. In his permit to conitruita vault under the sidewalk the per. mission tn build bridges had been stricken out. After the first visit of Bums he went to the De partment of Public Works and got a permit to construct bridges over the sidewalk. Before his nrst conversation with Burns he had tho vaults under the sidewalk planked over and thepro '''"'""f pedestrians as considerably obstructed. , How many time did you see Officer Burns)" asked Mr House, Half a dozen times at tho moet," How w as he dressed 1" Hegantly: Utter than you are dressed, and imiijn Utter than I liave ever dressed."

He had seen Olennon and Mrs. Hanford In conversation. The witness admitted that Jennie Thornton, a previous witness, was living with him and sup ported him out of her wages of sin. Oeorge Arold, a barberof 17H Delaneey street, testified that the house kept by Karl Werner, at 0 Delaneey street, was disorderly. He said the same of Katie Schubert's house at 144 Chrystle street. He used to go there and curl the balr of the Inmates. Commissioner Sheehan asked what the reputation of these places was when Capt. McLaughlin was In the precinct. The witness said that the houses were the same them Oeorge I-ee, who was foreman for Builder KM- fiatrlck when he was erecting the Edison bulbi ng In 18P0, testified that Ward Man Burns came to him one day and complained about a tool house which was standing In the street, and asked If he bad a permit for It. Lee showed the permit. They had some talk about the bridge which was going to be erected over the sidewalk, and Burns asked him If he knew "Mike" Birne. The witness said he did, and Burns said to him t " You go and see him, aud he will tell you how to have this thing fixed."

The Orand Jury yesterday ordered an In dhtmetit for bribery to be drawn against Karl Werner alias Oustave Wasner. Werner was one of the l.exow committee's witnesses against ('apt.

'Hie Indictment. howeei. has nothing to do with that mar. but Is based on Werner's alleged attempt to bribe Policeman Henry Cohn at Es sex Market Court with a $rt bill to "make light" a charge of lolatlou of the Excise law against Werner's bartender. mshittrrn m'ai.i.':s jt:t'Kxut:.

Henry Hoffman, the man who has been In tbe penitentiary three times and who testified be fore the Lexow Committee and the Police Hoard to these facts and to some dealings with Police Captain Devery and Ward Man Olennon, la in trouble again.

Two Kaat Hide Theatre Reopened Farce at Jacobs', Variety at Pastor'. Two playhouses of the east side opened shop yesterday: one with farce, the other with a a riety performance. The Third Avenue Theatre was the former, and Its play was styled an " op eratic farce comedy " In the bill, and named "Dr. Cupid." It proved to be a hodgepodge of farcical fun. In which nearly ever)' one engaged took two or more parts, some of the ac tors taking a different character in each of Its three acts. The authorship was credited to C. II. Clifford. There was little commendable In his work, though It served well enough to intro duce many songs, and the specialities In which those employed appeared to the best ad vantages. Plot and probability were both left out of the author's calculations. As much of a story aa there was In "Dr. Cu pid" hinged on an operation of skin-grafting, which transformed the patient Into a man very like him from whom the transplanted cutlcln was taken. At all times and tn all guises tho members of the company burst Into song with the slightest Introduction. Like the delegate from Texas, they knew what they were there lor. ana they went about It. The songs and specialties were all much liked, but there wefe a few especially favored ones. Of these were a monologue by Edward Kagleton, songs by Itobert II. Kane and Joe McKenna, dancing by llulda Havers and Louie Rice, and singing and dances by Daisy Majer, and a squad of colored plckau. Inlnles. .... At Pastors the start was made with a arlety performance In which Jnme . Hoey and Web ber and Fields were the entertainers of greatest reputation. Hellanre was put for the most part on well-known specialists, among whom were Isabelle Carllnl. O'Brien and Havel, Mile. Ka. inochl, and Harris ami Walters. The chief novelty of the eenlng was the specialty of Ed M. Oordan, a skilled marks man. Beginning with a rifle, he made twenty shots at sway Inur glass balls, eat h essay made In a different position, and In most of them he took aim with the help of a mirror. Prartlre at what the marksman Introduced as "horse back shooting" found him pert tied on a man's back, who trotted about while his rider showed his skill. Then came some ptstolpract Ice which showed eoually true aim The final ef fort consisted In playing on a x)lnphone by striking Its bars w I til the rifle's missies. Popu 1st aires w ere followed In this way so as to bo easily recogntrable. anil "Sweet Marie" was thus thoroughly riddled, without a tear being shed o er Its fste. One trick of shooting on tha programmb was by Mile. Kamnchl and an as sistant. She was to have caught the bullet in her teetlu but the trick failed ludicrously.

Debs was on the stand for nearly four hours to-day before the Na tional Strike Commission. He advocated a co operative commonwealth, the abolition of the wage system, and the Government ownership of railroads. He told his side of the strike aa a connected narrative, which was frequently In terrupted by applause from the laboring ele ment present. T. II. Morrlssey, First Vlce-Orand Master of the Order of Hallway Trainmen, and Oraud Chief Clark of the Order of Hallwa) Conduc tors also testified. Oeorge M. Pullman has been asked tn appear befure the Labor Commission to gtte testimony an to the difficulty between himself and his em ployees. It was said to-day that Chairman Car roll 1). Wright of Hie Commission hsd a per sonal Interview on Saturday with Mr, Pullman and Informed him that lie would be requested totestlf). Whether Mr. Pullman hadatteded to or declined to comply with tho request, and whatcourso the Commission would pursue In the event of Mr. Pullman proving tontumat lous. would all appear In proper lime In tho proceed ings of the Commission. Mr. Wright said. It was said also that requests simitar to that sent to Mr. Pullman were sent to several of the general managers. So far as could be learned onl) one of them has responded thus far. When Debs took the stand he said, In answer to questions, that lie was 38 )ears old, and In addition to being at the head of the A. It. I', was editor of the f.iiroinoKte rlmmm' Jfnisiiliir. He testified thai fiom the beginning lie wasoppused to a strike, and so told Vice President Howard. Ho then continued "I twice went to Oeorge M. Pullman and to the town of Pullman to thoroughly Investigate the conditions exlstlngat the tar shops. I found that the employees were nut onl) not getting wages enough to lle, but that they weru dally getting deeper Into the debt of the Pulliiiau Company. No matter how offensUe tbe con ditions w ere there, the men were obliged to sub mit to them. When I found out all these things, I Immediately determined that the American Kalln ay Vnlon should go to the assistance of these unfortunate people. We believed that any fair Hoard of Arbitration would have del lared In faorof the employees, and all we asked was arbitration. This the Pullman Company arbi trarily refused. Not only this, but when we asked them to examine Into the question to see whether or not there was an) thing to arbitrate, tbey also refused this. "Very much hss been ssld about nn alleged conspiracy against the railroads and against hauling the malls. I want to call the attention of this Commission to the fact that every meet ing of the A. 11. I, was held with open doors, aud that representatives of the press were al lowed to be present. If there had been any conspiracy contemplated we certain!) would hav e been more secret about It." Debs then told of the several failures of the A B. V. to secure arbitration from tbe Pull man Company and the subsequent Inauguration of tbe strike. " Not only did tbe employees of tbe vari ous railroads strike liecause of the Injustice be ing done to the Pullman emplo) ees, but because the various roads hsd griev antes of their own, which I shall proceed In time to show. We used our Influence to prevent strikes during the World's Fair, as we did not believe It just to tbe public to Inaugurate a strike at such u time. It was all that could ho done bv the leaders of the lsbor unions to prevent a strike. In view of tbe men's working throughout the Fair the railway managers on many of the roads promised an increase of wsges after tbe l-atr was over. In stead of doing this tbey began immediately after the Fair closed tn begin a systematio re duction of wages throughout the countrv. No two companies reduced waees at the same time. This, to me. was very significant. It showed mo that there was concerted action among the va rious roads, snd that they did not wish to amuse the antagonism of too many railroad employees at the ulna time." Debs said that no rallrond reduced the wages of all Its men at the same time, but reduced them by sections. He declared the A. It. C viewed thoso reductions with the greatest ap prehension. The orcs.nt7.at Inn felt that the time had come tn at t. W hen thu A. It. I', met, In convention In Chicago nn .lun 21 It was ton fronted by these conditions at we'll an the state of affairs at Pullman. "Was this convention railed to consider the reduction of wages or tho Pullman matter 1" asked Commissioner Wright. "The convention was called for no specific purpose. It was the regular quadrennial con vention, port idol for by the constitution." The witness then enumerated the failures of the old labor organizations to gain redress for the grievances of the employees, and asserted they felt their only hope lay in the A. It. I .. Iti which they finally turned for help. When asked what the outcome of the convention which delared the boycott against the Pullman cars would have been had it not been for the grievances! of Pullman employers. Debs said there would have been no strike but for the Pullman trouble, as the A. It. C, owing to the depressed condition of the country, deemed Itan Inauspicious time to strike. "I would like to state," said Debs, "that the railroad companies have never raised wages of their own arcord. Every Increase In wsges has been wrung from them by organized labor." "I had novolcolnorderlngthlsstrikcmyself," said the witness, "hut If I had had a voire In It, 1 would have ordered I have nn desire to shirk any responsibility. My record will show also that 1 havealwaa counselled against violence. The telegram attributed to mn which read, 'have your money and buy a gun,' though sent over my signature, I neversaw. It was sent by our stenographer to his superior In Montana, and was not Intended literally It was merely a playful expression current In Montana," Tim witness dec lared that the men would have won the strike had not the courts Interfered. "Itvvns not tbe soldiers," he said, "norths old labor organizations, but the Federal courts that kept us from winning. By tha arrest of the leaders tho ranks of the strikers were de raorslled." He charged Oen. Miles with being In league with the railroad managers to suppress tho strike, and related Instances where, as he al leged, men were made to work at the point of theba)onet. The refusal of the general mana gers to accept the A. It. IV proposition to end the strike was then recited, Deba denied that tlmA, R. I', had any antipathy for the old or ganizations. " Within thenext three da)s," said the wit ness, " we are going to tuke steps to unify all railroad labor organizations. We are willing to give up our (sMitlons and sacrifice the A. It. I'. to act ompllsh this result, and agree not to nc. cept an official position at the head of the new organization." When tho Commission took Its noon recess Debs was still on tho stand. At 1 .30 o'clock he resumed. He testified that from the be ginning the American Hallway Union and Ihe strike loaders had been badly treated hv tbn Chicago press. Interviews had been distorted and many lies told, Debs declared. He especially scored the Western Associated Press, which, he asserted, had taken Ita color from Chicago rail road organs and had misrepresented the strikers In ev ery way, Delia said If there had been a revolution it would have been directly chargeable to tbe press of Chicago rattier than to the American Hallway Union. Editorials had been written alt over the rountry. he asserted, based on matter sent out by the Western Associated Prees. the editorials lu every rase attacking the A. It. U, on Information which was abeolutely false, "Do jou charge the general managers with being responsible for the strike r" asked Com missioner Wright. " Well. I could hardly go so far aa that. I be lieve, however, they had mucfi to do with keep ing It up." ''How would you gain the demands of labor ers on quasi public, corporations " asked Judge Worthlngton. ' There are t o ways. One Is tbe way adopted by the old brotherhoods, that Is, getting a schedule of wages gradually from the compa nies. There lias been little good In this mode of Erocedure. It take a strike to wtn sometimes, ut I don't believe the railroad empIo)ees of this country could win a strike to-day if they were all organized In one brotherhood, because the courts are against labor. I can show In twenty 5 ears of writing that I have alwa) a been opposed to strikes, but I think there are times when they are Justifiable, no matter how much the public is discommoded." Mr Debs said he did nut think the general managers were always to blame In reducing wages, because their orders came from a higher source. He belltrved the A it U could never be crushed, and that the spirit of organiza tion among laboring men would alwa)- be strong, lie predicted that more serious trou bles would occur than ever before. " Now," continued I)eb,")ou have asked me howl would avert railroad strikes. I believe IheOovernment ownership of railroads would be far better than railroad ownership of the Oovcrnmrnt. I do not believe any lasting good ran come from arbitration, and I do not think thetiovernment supervision of railroad would answ er the purpose In sut h a case a that of th Pullman Company I believe compulsory arbitra tion would be of benefit A State court might be of some good for ordinary labor troubles 1 would in such a rase have a trial of tbe differ ence by Jury. 1 am In favor of some slem. however, that will result In mutual aood feeling, and neltb.tr strike nor compuELory arbitration can result In anything bul 111 feel ing., I am In favor ot licensing railroad .em ployee." . , . . .' Deb waa cross-examined by Commissioner Kernan. who sought to bring out the point that a State Board of Arbitration would 6 of bene fit In adjnstlng labor troubles. Debt admitted that It would Tss of temporary benefit, but advo cated, above all things, the Ooyemmnnt .owner ship of tailroads, notwithstanding Mr, Kernan pointed out that such a state of affairs would probably be Impractlt able. "I lielleve In abolishing Ihe wage system," said the witness. "I believe In a cooperative commonwealth." .... "In other words, you believe In State social ism?" said Chairman Wright. "Well. In the essential points of Stale social ism, Thewsge system Is nothing mure than slavery." Mr. Morrlssey of the Order of Trainmen lold of the conference of labor leader atthellrlggs House, and he was followed by Orand Chief Clark of tho Order of Conductors, He favored licensing railroad eruploiees, but Mr. Morrls sey opposed the Idea.

Ihree Concern Make Concessions te the Operator The L'alona Rsndr tor a, LKng right-The Hltuntlen nt Fall River. Nkw BsoronD, Mass., Aug, 20. This morn ing the cotton operatives began their general strike, and nearly 11,000 are Idle. But five of the twenty-seven mills lu the city were not affected, and It Is thought that these mills will soon be shut down with the others. Secretary Ross of the Spinners' Union said this morning that the member of his union hare lined up for a long struggle, and confidently expect that It will be of six months' duration. The strike promises tu be the most Important which ever occurred In the textile Industry In Massachusetts. The manufacturers must fight perfectly organized unions, some of which are fairly wealthy. The Spinners' Union has a fund In Its treasury aggregating at least $ 10,000. Ihe spinners havo voted, however, nut to touih any of this money for a month. The situation lu New Bedfnnl Is quite differ ent from that In Fall Rlvrr. There prlut cloths are manufactured fur the most part, and there It a larger stook of goods on hand. Here, how ever, the mills manufacture a finer grade of goods, and some of Hum have orders which would keep the milts bus) for sevetat months. During the earl) part of the day the streets presented a hollds) appeataure as the thou sands of neatly attired operatives wandered to and fro brimful of hilarity ami confident of victory. With tho exception of a slight dis turbance at the Bristol milt, where a doreu op eratives whowero at work were attacked b) the strikers at noon without any serious result, tho behavior of the strikers was pratrfiil and oiderly. As the day udvalned signs of a weakening of tbe matiufnt turcrs were mani fest, ntid the announcement was luadu in the afternoon that threo of the corporations had made Ihe necessary concessions. Some other curiairatluns gave evidence of fullering. William D. Howlatid, Treasurer of the How land, Rul h, and New Bedford .Manufacturing (ouiimiiles, took the Initiative. Frum Ihe start he was opposed to the strike Mr. Rowland said that lie has simply vvalved the cut-down till hutaudetlde what action he will adopt. He waa not present when tho tut-down was voted, else he would have opposed It, but tho si Hon wan taken aud the uutltcs up before he teallred It. When he found what trouble was to ensue he oriltred the notices down In his mills anil notified thu other manufacturers that for the present ho should not make any tut. "I have shut down my mills." snlil Mr. How. laud, "till I find out Just what I cnu do. I have already conferred with committees of tbe help, and 1 propose to do the same with ni) fellow manufacturers. When 1 ascertain the position of both, then I wilt decide what course 1 will take. When It Is fully decided what terms the help vv 111 accept and the whole matter Is adjusted between us. then 1 will start up the mills. I can't affurd to let the help run my mills to suit themselves, but I will grunt all 1 can." " And suppose It unnes to a deatl open and shut between a demand for the cut on tbe part of the manufacturers and a demand for the old sthcdille on the part of the help, will you say what )our rourse would be then J" Mr. Rowland reflected a moment and then replied,"! would waive the cut down and run the mills. "I can't afford totakeartlnn which will result In shutting down our plant and severing tho smooth and friendly relations we have lu our mills at present, I cannot run a mill without the cooperation of the help, and If I Impose such conditions that the men refuse to work my silent spindles won't mnke money for the Mock holders." "Hut how about this overproduction?" won asked. "Well, I agree thst something must be done tn reduce the oost of goods, bill I am of a dif ferent mind from most manufacturers. I look for better limes In the near future. If curtail ment Is the remedy, let us curtail; but If re timing wages Is going lo bring everything to a standstill, it Is pretty evident that Is not the proper course." Mr. Rowland said that hn did not like to an tagonize the other manufacturers. He thought It a good thing for mill men to act In harmony, but still dltl not see why he should be bound down to a policy which he did not sgree with, and In the voting of which he was not rep.-e--eented. Had he been present at the meet ing he would have voted against the cut. Mr. Hon land said he would try to arrive at a conclusion and arrange terms with bis help as soon as possible, so as to leave the mills sllont no longer than Is neccssor). Mr Hnwlnnd's action will restore to work about 1,700 hsnds, and mostof them represent families. Late this afternoon Andrew O Pierce. Trcas. urer of the Wnmsutta mills, was asked, In view of the at lion taken bv Mr How land, what would be tbe course of tho other corporations, ilero plled: "The mills will lock up to-night for an In definite perils! " His statement, he said, not only applied tnthe Wamsutta corporation, but to ever) mill In the t ity outside of the mills controlled by Mr. How land. It has been supposed that, inasmuch as the Spinners' Union was much stronger than the Weav ers' organization. I he manufacturers would enter for the enlnner In tbe reduction, and con ciliate them if possible. Every mill posted Its reduction schedule on Soturda),and they w em compared by the labor leaders yesterdii). The schedules are dissimilar, and It was found that the manufacturers had cut down the spin ners more than 10 tnr cent. In many Instant er, but tho weavers were not cut at all, or very little. This ratio Is preserved s)stematicHlly throughnnt tho mills, and the operatives Udlevu that the manufacturers hope to get thu weavers back before many weeks. As the weavers are not barked up by & strong treasury the manufacturers think the) will not holdout vt rr long, part Icularl) as their wage will not be changed, and they will onl)- l Im pelled to stay nut through s) mpalhy. The man ufacturers think that by the time they are ready tn startup the weavers will lie ready tn come In and that yarn can be bought from other mills until the spinners are ready tn succumb, Bui there Is no trepidation on tbe part of tho opera tives. All are buo)ant and confident of ulti mate success." Some of tho mills, no doubt, are preparing for a long shut down "The meeting of manufacturers Thursday was an adjourned session," said a gentleman who was prexent, "and was not called because of action of Ihe spinners, an supposed. In fact, the determination of the spinners was but brief!) touched upon, The meeting waa held to decide upon some plan of reduction wheretiVtbe l't pa Id help In the mills might lie reduced and those who are tlassed as small-paid help either but sllghtl) rut down or not touched ut all. "This mutter was fully discussed, and finally It was derided that each corporation should rt'g lllulH Its own adjustment of tho out-downs, vv hlch Is from '.'V4 js-r cent to 10 iierrenl. Inu gi eat many instances there will 1m- no rut-down whatever, it is said, but as a rule all of the spiuners. who rfre the best paid men In tho dif ferent mills, outside of the officials, w HI bo at fet ted by tbe new order of things."
