RESPONSIBILITY FOR NEW YORK
REIGN OF TERROR LAID
AT HIS DOOR
TALK BY EX-MAYOR HEWITT
Was Rightly Told That His Inter
ference With' East Side Condi
tions Would Mean Hi* Po- '*(■•«;
litical Finish.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-A gathering of
business men resulted in the call for a
conference at the chamber of commerce
today. The features of the meeting
were the piactical retirement cf Bishop
Potter from the front rank cf the move
ment, an address by Abram S. Hewitt, in
which he said that the responsibility for
the present condition of affairs in New
York city rested upon the mayor, and
the unanimous adoption of the following
resolution:
"Resolved, That a committee of .fif
teen be appointed- for the purpose of at
tempting to bring in account those re
sponsible for the pi "*% nt condition of af
fairs." -.;' .-
Bishop Potter, in a letter explaining his
absence from the meeting, wrote as fol
lows: ',: -XX 'X-
"1 shall not be able, owing to a trustee
meeting, to attend the meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce today, nor, I think
I ought to add, should I do so if I were
free.
"The aim of such a meeting should be
primarily to unify the forces on the
side of the law, decency and the protec
tion of weak in this community. But in
such an effort an ecclesiastic is not the
best Instrument.
"As to this, in the present emergency,
I am quite clear. New York wants a
etrong committee of three or five trusted
laymen to co-operate and organize forces,
arouse public sentiment, then we can
rest assured that the rest will accom
plish itself." ..... ■■:■•-:-. :
Stewart Smith presided over the meet
ing, and in his opening address said:
"It is humiliating, but it is true and
apparent that in the police force certain
members of it are in collusion with the
dens of vice and with the criminals of
this city. It is also true that the pro
monthly sums to the police force for pro
prietors of these dens of crime pay
monthly sums to the police force for pro
tection."
Abram S. Hewitt, in the course of an
address, frequently interrupted by ap
pause, said:
ARRAIGNED BY HEWITT.
"Bishop Potter was called upon to ad
dress the mayor in terms unparalleled in
this city. The bishop's claiion call met
with ready response. When the head of
Tammany spoke it was the first confes
sion of the govern'ng power of the city
that anything was wrong.
"Two years ago reform was sent to
hell by a leading citizen of this city and
there it seems to have remained ever
since. If it be recalled now, it is because
Tammany Hall thinks It has suffered
punishment long enougn. Tweed, when
complaints were made, asked: 'What are
you going to go about it? That was a
lesson to Tammany.
"The limit of public abuse has been
reached. Some of the men on the Tam
many committee are entitled to our sym
pathy, but more to our commiseration.
If they do their duty they strike a fatal
Mow to Tammany, find if they do not.
they lose their standing in the commu
nity. '■•-■■-.:
"if there had been any sincerity on
Mr. Croker's part the committee would
never have been appointed.
"The responsibility for the conditions
here today belongs primarily to the po
lice. In the last analysis; if things goes
wrong, the responsibility rests with the
mayor." '■-■:'.
Mr. Hewitt told how he treated im
morality when he was mayor:
"I sent for Chief of Police Murray," he
said, "and told him that if he could not
close up evil resorts, to at least cover
them up.
POLICE CHIEF'S WEALTH.
"I told him the places must be closed.
T asked Chief Murray if he was a rich
man. He said he was worth *300.000 and
n«ver had any business but that of po
liceman.
"I asked him where he got it. He
said he had friends In Wall street, who
gave him opportunities.
"I had the president of the police board
call on me and asked him about the cor
ruption. He told mi to let it alone—ld
only stir up a hornet's nest and blast my
political future.
"He told me the truth about that.
"While I was mayor for two years New
York was a respectable city, externally
at l(-;vt. 1 had no power but the senti
ment of the people behind me." . .
Rev. Dr. Paddock, representing Bishop
Potter, said:

Madame A. Ruppert say?:
♦'My Face Bleach is not a new, untried
remedy, but has been used by the best
people for years, and for dissolving and
removing forever pimples, freckles, moth
patches, black-bends, eczema, tan, sunburn,
sallowness, roughness or rednesa of the
gkin, and for brightening and beautifying
the complexion it has no equal.
It is absolutely harmless to the most
delicate skin.
The marvellous improvement after a
few applications is most apparent, for the
■kin becomes as nature intended it should
be, smooth, clear and white, free from
every impurity and blemish. It cannot
fail, for its action is snch that it draws the
impurities out of the skin, and does not
. cover them up, and is invisible during use.
This is the only thorough and permanent
way.
During this month, 1 will offer to alia
rial bottle of my world renowned Face
Bleach, sufficient to show that it is all that
I claim for it, and any reader of this can
send me 25 cents in stamps or silver, and
I will send the trial bottle, securely
packed in plain wrapper, sealed, all charges
prepaid.
My book 'How to be Beautiful' will be
mailed free to all who will write for it."

their complaints only to be told to get out
of the district if they did not like condi
tions there. I know of men and women
who have been driven from their homes
and business by those self-same condi
tions. They have been threatened w.th
persecution if they should dare come to
the pro-cathedral and submit their com
plaints. I can produce one hundred, or
one thousand witnesses, it' their names

him as a tryant." 7-\ „ V
Prof. Felix Adler said:
"I have no doubt as to the sincerity of
Tammany's purification committee. Cro
ker said: .1, too, am a father,' and I
have no doubt that even the evil acid has
gone farther than they intended and they
are willing to cut off the fringes of the
evil. T. hope that out of this will come
a movement not primarily political; not
for the removal of Tammany Hall, but
for the eradication of the evil. Let that
be the chief object whatever may be the
consequence."
St. Clair McKelway told of the good
that resulted from the single-headed po

operation in Brooklyn.
The meeting was then adjourned to re

CZAR IS IMPROVING.
FAVORABLE REPORT BY HIS MA.I-
BSTY'S PHYSICIAN.
LIVADIA, European Russia, Nov. 27.—
The Improvement in the czar's condition
is continued, judging from the following
bulletin, issued today:
"The czar passed a good day yesterday.
At 9 o'clock in the evening his tempera
ture was 97.6. During the night his maj
esty slept well., - This morning the em
peror's condition and general strength
were perfectly satisfactory. Tempera
ture, 96.6; pulse, 66." 77
The professional attendants upon the
czar are Dr. Hlrsch, court surgeon; Dr.
Popoff, honorary court physician, and Dr.
Tikhonoft*. The first two are well known.
Dr. Tikhonoff was a country practitioner
in the district of Riajsk, province of Rio
zan, Where Grand Duke Peter Nicolaie
vitch discovered him during a typhus epi
demic and adopted him as his personal
physician, entrusting to him the care
of the inhabitants on the grand duke's
Crimean estate near Yalta. This led to
his being called in to attend Eis-peror
Nicholas. * 7"77. ' .

TAFT ON THE PHILIPPINES.
Industrial and Commercial Rc
■onrcei of tbe Islands Marvelous.
CINCINNATI, Nov. Judge Taft,
president of the Philippine commission,
has written to a friend here of the ie
sources and needs of the Philippines, as
follows:
"With these islands completely pacified,
they are far and away the best posses
sions in the Orient for purposes of trade
and development. Their climate is better
than the climate of any tropical country
1 know, and the capacity for agricul
tural and mineral and commercial de
velopment would seem to be unlimited.
Even with the unsettled present condi
tion, vessels coming into the harbor of
Manila, excluding the government trans
ports, is double what It ever was in
Spanish times, and the same thing is true
of the inter-island tonnage. With" the
construction of roads and railroads
through the islands the opportunities for
development cannot be exaggerated.
These people are a people who take to
the luxuries of life, enjoy good clothes
and comforts, and markets among them
for cotton goods, for canned goods, lor
flour, for petroleum and for machinery
can be created in a wonderfully short
time. .-..-.-';
"One of the things that is needed here
is the introduction of American business
like methods. The establishment of two
or three large American business houses
here (retail or wholesale), carrying into
business the same methods that prevail
at home, would do wonders for the busi
ness standards of these islands."

his obligations were for debts which he

HOUSE COMMITTEE ON MILITARY:
AFFAIRS TAKES UP WAR DE
PARTMENT BILL
WHAT MR. ROOT RECOMMENDS
few Measure Provide* for a Maxi
mum Strength of 011,000 Men
end a. Minimum of
CS.OOO. .
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—The hous'i
committee on military today met for the
purpose of considering the . new army
bill. The members of the committee will
confer with Secretary Root In a day or
two. This afternoon they went over
the bill, which has been known as the
war department bill, drawn on lines sug
gested and approved by Secretary Root.
The secretary, expects to give further
consideration to the bill and then will
send it to members of the committee.
The war department bill provides for a
maximum of 96,000 men and a minimum
of 58,000, with 30 regiments of Infantry, 15
regiments of cavalry and a gradual in
crease of the artillery until at the end
of five years there will be 18,000 men. The
artillery. Is not to be organized into regi
ments, but as batteries and organizations
of heavy and field artillery. With, the
maximum army there is to be 150 men to
each infantry company, making 1,830 men
to a regiment. The maximum of a cav
alry troop is to be 100 men. There is no
provision for a lieutenant general in the
war department, but under the present
law the senior major general command
ing would have . the rank of lieutenant
general. The war department bill does
not give tie same increase of major gen
erals and brigadier generals as the Hull
bill. 77.:-7
The detailed staff provisions are an im
portant feature of the measure. It pro
vides that hereafter vacancies in the
staff, excepting the medical corps, pay
corps and engineers, shall be filled by de
tails from the line, such detailed officers
being subject to line duty at any time.
That is the same as the Hull bill of the
last congress and Is earnestly favored by
Secretary Root. The war department
bill provides that the promotions shall be
made from the regular army, according
to the present rank, down to and includ
ing the rank of captains. The officers of
the present volunteer army can become
officers in the regular army, but in ho
grades of first and second lieutenant only
the vacancies in the captains' rank being
filled, from the first lieutenants of the
present regular establishment, the rela
tive rank of the volunteer officers enter
ing the regular establishment to be . de
termined by seniority.
The committee will not hold another
session until Friday, adjourning over to
morrow and Thanksgiving day. 77,
NEW SIX-INCH GUN TEST.
The new six-inch naval gun for the bat
tleships of the Maine class was tested
today at the Indian Head proving ground
under regular service conditions with
excellent results. ' With a charge of 33
pounds of powder, giving a pressure of
16.7 tons per square inch, the gun gave a
muzzle velocity of 3,023 feet. With an
18-ton pressure, which is above the serv
ice allowance, the gun has shown 3,138
feet, but today's showing is considered
very superior on the service basis. Willi
a high grade of powder the gun is ex-'
pected to do a shade better. It is fifty
calibers in length and is the . type of a
gun being made for the new ships.
PHILIPPINE TELEGRAPHS.
Gen. Greely, chief signal officer of the
army, has received from Col. Allen, at
Manila, a fresh map of the Philippine
land wires and sea cables showing that
the islands practically are . covered at
every important point with a thorough
system of wire communication. A new
cable has been put in within the last
month across the eastern end of Laguna
de Bay, from: Santa Cruz to Siniloa, thus
giving assured communication with the
southeastern section of Luzon, where it
heretofore has been very difficult to
maintain a land wire.
IRRIGATION COMMITTEE.
After the cabinet meeting today the
president received a committee appointed
by the national Irrigation congress, who
presented the resolutions adopted by the
congress at Chicago last Saturday, urging
the government to inaugurate the work

ident; Salus Thoman, secretary; Freder
ick Gottlieb, of Baltimore, and J. W.
Brown, of Brooklyn, called upon the

SAYS JOSEPH LEITER, RETURNING
TO CHICAGO FROM
EUROPE
BRYAN AND BRYANISM DEAD
There Is Novr a Chance to Reviyif y
the Democratic Party on a
Basis Acceptable to
Democrats.
CHICAGO, Nov. 27.--I am a Democrat
again.".
This was the statement of Joseph Lett,
er, who arrived in Chicago from New
York yesterday after having spent- the
greater portion of the summer in Europe.
"I believe," continued Mr. Leiter, "that
Bryan and his idiotic beliefs are forever
gone and I think the party can be re
juvenated and brought back to foster the
principles of good government. There
are just as good statesmen in the Dem
ocratic party as there ever were, but
the trouble is they have'either put them
selves in alliance with Republican issues
or else they have allowed themselves to
be mesmerized.
"What I think will probably make no
difference either way, but I am sort of
in love with the good old Democratic
party and I am in hopes that it will re
frain hereafter from losing its head. It
is too great to be dictated to by one
man. and my firm belief is that it is safe
from that henceforth. I do not pretend
to predict what the issues will be- four
years hence, but I am in hopes the party
will be supporting principles. which all
good citizens can support.
SATISFIED WITH ELECTION.
"When I left Europe two ,or three
weeks ago everybody was clamoring and
hoping for the election of McKinley. I
sailed before election day and arrived
here after it, and was much gratified
with the result. Had I been here, Mr.
McKinley would have received from mc
lust as long an Australian ballot as I
would have been able to find in the
booth, and I think he deserved it. H e
was nominated on a platform which fos
tered everything which was right, and,
in my opinion, he was on the tickei
which had every right to win. and I am
glad that it did. But now that 1 am
satisfied with the idea of Republicans
winning. I want the Democrats to get
in line and elect a president the next
time. "■._;';-7;.: ifi'i-i/S:
"What about my visit in Europe? Well,
It. was purely -on business. There were
many men across the water whom I
wanted to see in a business connection,
and for the most part I succeeded.
SECRETIVE ABOUT HIS TRIP.
"The nature of the affairs which em
ployed my attention while abroad does
not concern the public, and I woull
rather not speak about them. I had im
portant conferences, however, and ful
filled engagements which were of more
than ordinary importance to me, and I
was more than glad to meet the gentle
men with whom I had the opportunity
of filling such engagements.
"I was sorry I arrived in the United
States too late to cast a vote for presi
dent, but luckily the gentlemen who
would have received the benefit of my
ballot did not need it, an I am especially
glad for that. I am in hopes we will
have a full dinner pail for everybody
during the coming administration, and
there is little doubt that we will. The
condition of labor in Chicago is not such
as is should be, but doubtless It will be
come regulated in a short. time. Labor
generally in the country, I understand,
is in fairly good condition, and Chicago
will surely soon get into line.
LITTLE POKER— WEDDING.
"As to society, I have had little time
for it. ' This is true both since I arrived
in New York and during my stay in
Europe. As I have said before, my
time was taken up principally with
business matters, and there has
been little time for anything else.
I had time to spend but half a day
at the New York horse show. I under
stand the usual stories have gone about
concerning my poker games and my in
tention to commit matrimony, but there
is not the slightest truth in either one.
I have refrained from participating in
heavy poker games, and as far as the
proposition of contemplating matrimony
is concerned, that is too silly to be talk
ed of. I would rather talk about the
weather. I find the weather, by the way,
about as pleasant here as it has been in
New York. It is a little disagreeable in
both places, but so far as being crisp
is concerned, I rather enjoy it.
"I will enjoy a few days seeing
friends," concluded Mr. Leiter, "and
then I will again settle down to busi
jit....

"DR. GREENE'S NERVURA
CURED BY WIFE."
CURED MY WIFE."
.....,'"■•"■ ■!_■■■
.
E. Q. Parsons, the well-known druggist of Onset, Mass., makes
the following remarkable communication;
•'Five years ago my wife was clear down, completely prostrated by nervous debility.
She hung wavering for a long time between life and death, until finally it turned in favor
of life, bhe was as sick a person as I ever saw live. We gave her Dr. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, and it cured her. No doctor nor any other medicine she ever took
did her half the good 01 Dr. Greene'e Nervura. And now, whenever she feels herself going
down a bit, she takes a few doses of Nervura which settles the case at once in favor of restored
health. I freely and decidedly say it is the king of all medicines, and I cannot say enough
in its favor from my own experience, and the report of others. lam aware that Dr. Greene
is a regular physician, which adds to its value."
The real substantial value of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy
in overcoming the tendency to nervous excess is very plain to anyone who
makes'investigation. Druggists of good repute who watch carefully the effect
of the various preparations which go through their hands, are in a position to
know what the practical results are from the use of a remedy, and druggists
tell with one voice the great good accomplished by Dr. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy. They know that the report goes from mouth to mouth and
the quick result of neighborly recommendation is seen in the constantly increas
ing demand for Dr. Greene's wonderful medicine, for which there is no substitute.
. Dr. Greene, the discoverer of Nervura, may be consulted free of
charge, personally or by letter, at 35 West 14th Street, New York
City, When you are worried about'yourself call or write.
