collection was taken up TO defray the ex-
penses Of the meeting.
David Currier asked that Alderman
Crooker would tell the club something about
tho fifteenth amendment, and also about the
Nm Tn.
Crocker said that, In his position, 1t would
be indelicate for him to say anything about
the present Investigation. He would say,
however, that the grand Jury Of the District
had dismissed the charge brought against
the Mayor AFTER thorough examination.
As regards tho fifteenth amendment, that
was all right, and Its success fully assured.
President Peters stated that he had been
told by Collector Boswell that he (Boswell)
was to appear before the Investigating COM

elusive In generating the Mayor from any
charge that may have been brought against
him.
