NEW YORK, Dec. l5.-Police Captain
Crecdon has confessed before the Lexow
committee that he had paid t15, 900 to Sc
cure his captaincy. A few hours later he
was suspended from the force by tho
board of police commissioners on recon-
mendation of Superintendent Byrnes,
who was instructed to prepare charges
against him. The Lexow committee had
agreed that Crcedon should be granted
immunity from punishment for his pur-
chase Of captaincy and when the action
OF the police commissioners became
known they, as well as Superintendent
Byrnes, were subp9naed to appear before
the investigating body
Captain Crccdon's confession was the
biggest sensation brought forth by the
Lcwow committee. In itself the captains
statement was merely a confirmation Of
testim Dny already elected before the SEN
atOrs, but the startling facts. essentially
interviewer with this sensational ex.
posture, affects the faint of dishonor and
and corruption upon men who have held
some of the most responsible offices in the
gift Of the community.

Notwithstanding the fact that Crccdon
had positively denied the fact before the
committee public censure is not heapcd on
his head. He had served in the local po-

STATEMENTS OF THE PAYRoLLs.
Comparisons of Wages Paid and Men En-
ployed in the Past Three Years.

Comparisons of Wages Paid and Men EN-
ployed in the Past Three Years
NEW YORK, Dec. l5.-R. G. Dun & Co s
weekly review of trade says: Dun's re-.
view is enabled by the kindness of several
thousand manufacturers who have for
warded statements of their payrolls for
November this year, in 1898 and in 1892, to
make very encouraging comparison of
earnings for that month, which shows an
increase in total payments Of 152 per cent
over last year. but q decrease of 1873 per
cent. in comparison with 1892. A state
ment Of hands employed shows that in
the same establishments 10.2 per cent
more persons were employed than year
ago, but SO per cent. less than in 1892
The average Of earnings for over $50. 100
hands is 1 per cent. larger than in 1893
but Ia. p cent. less than in 1892, and
this statement takes no account OF hours
of work in the month compared or of the
establishments not working at all this
year. In some Of the industries more
hands ere at work than in 1892, but in
others the decrease is large.
Contradictory changes in business are
quite in order at this season. Neither the
larger orders in some branches nor the
safe indication Of the general movement.
But the working force does not lessen
more than usual for the time of year, the
demand for goods does not seem to di.
minish, though in most departments it
is considerably below tho capacity of
works in operation, and the volume of
business transacted is little larger in COM
parison with last year than in November.
The speculative markets have advanced
little, though reasons are hard to find.
Wheat is unchanged in price. Corn is q
fraction weaker, without any important
change in movement. The iron OUTPUT
Increased during the month of November,
and was 16S, 762 tons weekly Dec /,
against 16a, 666 Nov. 1, but the increase in
stock unsOld was 50, lad tons, which aver
ages II, 100 tons per week, indicating that
the increase in production during the
month of November was not supported by
the demand for products.
The textile manufactures are on the
whole weaker, although sales of wool for
the past week, in part for speculative pur-
poses, have been larger than one year or
two years ago and for two weeks of De-
ccmber, and have been $3.50, 900 pounds
against 1887, 200 last year and 10, 62s, 500 in
1892. The orders for spring woolens do not
materially increase, but the current do
mand for immediate delivery continues
unusually large. Cotton goods arc de.

announcement Of a great auction sale of

NOT JUSTIFIED By LEGAL ADVICE.

strIkcre Did Not Try to Keep Peace or
Protect Property, Says the Judge.
Judge Woods said the alleged advice of
counsel neither justifies nor mtigates a
wrong or error committed in pursuance
Of the advice. With all that is said about
guarding property, keeping the peace and
being first to arrest offenders, no one was
arrested, and no effort was made by strik-
ers or members Of the Railway Union to
preserve the peace or to protect property
On the contrary, many of them were lead

this strike, like others, was understood to
be war, not necessarily Of blood and
bullets, but a conflict between contendin1
interests. or classes Of interest, in which
strategy had to be employed to keep the

Had 1t been only that, the injunction in
stead Of being hindrancc, would have

CESS Of their cause. Testimony was quoted
to show the connection between the acts
and policy Of the defendants and the con-
dition Of turbulence that followed. ''Sug-
RsstiOns calculated to invite to acts of vio-

judge, ''were contained in many Of the
kilograms which were sent out over the
name of Debs and for which, notwith-
standing the avcrment Of their answers to

any Of the defendants to deny some meas

THE right Of men to strike peaceably

the American Railway Union was com.
mitted to conspiracy in restraint Of inter
