A USELESS INVESTIGATION.
Nothing Gained by the LOng-Drawn-Ou
Keifer-BOyntOn Inquiry.

Nothing Gained by the LOng-Drawn- Out
Keifer-Boynton Inquiry.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-The special commit
tee of the House appointed to investigate the
charges preferred by exSpeaker Keifer against
II. V. Boynton practically completed its work
to-day, so far as taking testimony is concerned.
It is expected that all the arguments will be sub
mitted and the committee ready to report to the
House within fortnight There has been
deal of work, fuss and furry in the investga-
tion and no good fruit is likely to come of it.
1t has cost the government, the
prosecution, and the defense some money
and much time, and the result is, after all, as
anticipated it would be, matter of veracity be
tween two men. True, many witnesses have
been called to present collateral corroborative
testimony, but the value of it all seems to de
pend upon the credence of the committee will
place upon it. Nothing can be learned in regard
to the determination of the committee If one is
to read its looks and interpret its actions he
would conclude that the bulk of the testimony
produced by the prosecution is discredited. and
that little or nothing has been gained by the in
vestigatiOn.

CORRUPTION IN NEW YORK.
Startling Developments Made by the Assem-
bly, Investigating Committee.

ALBANY, March 14.-Mr. Roosevelt, chairman
of the special Assembly committee investigating
the departments of local government in New York
city. presented to-day a voluminous report The
committee found many abuses, due to the non
execution OF violation of good laws, and the com
mittee agreed to report nine bills, which, if
adopted, would obvate the evils and save the
city 100000. In all the departments they in
vestigated they found the incumbents generally
either dishonest or inefficient. Indeed, the
whole government seemed to be in a condition
absolutely appalling. The deals by which men
have obtained position as developed by the inves-
tigatiOn, casts curious side light upon New York
poll tics and shows with startling distinctness
that under the present system the men who nom
inally hold the offices are not the ones who really
exercise the power, and that the latter cannot
be held responsible for their deeds. County Clerk
keenan, and eX County Clerks Butler and
Thompson kept the books properly, but retained
fees illegally-Butler to the amount of $36, ,O00
keenan,, $14, 900. The county clerks net income
is $50, 600 year. They propose to make their
salary $4,000 Notwithstanding the clerks
enormous fees he showed phenomenal ignorance
about the Office affairs admitting frankly that
his duties as a local politician overrode his duties
amount to about $40, 600 annually under the fee
system. They recommend that ex-Register
Dorherty be indicted for improper practice. The
surrOgate's office is run by subOrdinates chiefly
for blackmailing purposes. They recommend that
the power of appointing clerks be taken from
the aldermen and lodged in the surrogate him
