BYRNEs MAY BE A WITNESS.
New York's superintendent OF Polio
Likely to De Called to the Stand.

Likely to be C0Ilcd 10 the Stonu.
1t Is row reasonably certain that Super
intendent Byrnes will be called to testify
before the Lexow committee at New York.
Mr. Golf will not admit that the head of
the department, the integrity of which Is
now so mercilessly assailed, is to be wit
ness but it has been learned from reliable
sources that he will be. Byrnes has not
been on the best of terms with the police
commissioners, and the senators are trying
to reach the head man.
The general impression is that the COM
missiOnsrs know more about the black
mailing methods Of the aspersed captains
and ward men than they care to have re-
vealed 1t has been openly charged that
the millions of dollars paid to the police
annually do not all go to the captains. II
1t did they would soon be among the rich
est men in the country.
Neither Superintendent Byrnes nor the
police commissioners will say anything
for publication about the revelations made
before the investigating committee concern
ing the wholesale blackmail by the police.
These officials claim that under the circum-
stances they cannot discuss the matter.
The excuse given is that when the resolu-
ton Of Commissioner Murray was adopted.
instructing the superintendent to investi-
gate the allegations made before the COM
n.ittee. that body requested that nothing
be done until the inquiry should be con-
cluded, as it would hamper the work of
the committee.
'It would be manifestly unfair for me to
say anything" said Superintendent Byrnes.
Il saw Senator Lexow In reference to the
m after and he said that an investigation
by this department at this time would in
terfere with their work. There the matter
stands and / cannot discuss it,
The accused captains all take refuge be-
hind the declaration that the witnesses
who appeared before the committee were
persons of bad character and law-breakers.
But the department is doing a heap Of
thinking these hot June days.

OleOmargarine Law Violations.

The treasury officials are in almost daily
receipt of information showing that the
law of August .. 1886, as to the sale of
oleomargarine is being violated by deal
ers in all parts of the country. These vio-
lations consist principally in selling oleo-
margarine at retail in packages not prop
erly marked and branded, and in offering
it for sale after II had been removed from
the original stamped packages. Steps are
being taken by the officials to punish every

TIE IMPRISONMENT OF ALLEN
AND BROWN.

EDITOR CALEDoNIAN:-I am glad that
Mr.. Batchelder's authority has corrected
my mis- statement as to the cause Of the
incarceration of these men in Haverhill
jail. All knew OF the matter was de-
rived from Parker Pillsbury's Acts of
the Anti-Slavery Apostles" which Mr..
Batchelder also quotes, and from per
sonal information by Mr.. Pillsbury
himself
That work does not expressly state
the particular offense for which these
men were sent to jail was for disturbing
religious meeting by untimely express
sion of their views. and unless one reads
the narrative with more care than did
at the time of writing about the Burn
ham tragedy, he would suppose that
