She Was Suing Max Klein for De-
ceiving Her.

There is reason to believe that he raid

Monday night was part Of n scheme In
which Max Klein, who has a coffee-house
In Fast Houston street. and StoolpigeOn
M'chacls, who does work for capt. cort-
right. OF the Eldridge street station, are
interested.
Klein was being sued by twenty-ycar-
old GussIe Strumpf. She formerly
worked for him. and claims he deceived
her. The trial was to take place yestcr-
day. 1t is said that, to prevent the girl
being present. the raid was planned.
Mrs. Strumpf denies that she keeps a
hisorherly house. She admitted, how
ever. that she took in boarders of a
questionable character. The raiding
party captured a number of men and one
women. Gussic Strumpf and her sister,
Jennie, wer out visiting at the time.
The raid was made at 8 +. NJ.
hen Michael found that Gussie was
not home he Is said to have questioned
all tho other prisoners about her where

one hour later Jennie arrived at the
house. She vas told hat her mother

raid was made. Michaels found Gussie in
the apartments Of some friends In East
Houston street. lie told her that her
mother was III and was crying Tor her.
Gussne followed Michaels out of the
room and started for her home In stan
ton street. Michaels then told the girl
her mother was at the station-house
Th girl refused to accompany him
there. He seized her by hte arm and
dragged her along until he met n police
man and handed her over to him. She
was locked up with the rest on a charge
of being an Inmate in her mothers al

When Gussie was arraigned before
Justice Hogan in Sssex Market Police
Court she told her story. The Justice
allowed her to 20 to the Court of Special
Sessions in company with a policeman.
Her case was tried. and Klein was
ordered to pay 81 "A week to her.
Justice Hogan took much interest in
the girls story. and denounced the arrest
Of the sisters az an outrage. He SAID
he never hearl of such a h,gh-handed
proceeding before during his exper ience

SNOW DUMPED ON PIERS.
Again Andrews's Men Block Ve,ey
and Canal Streets Wharves.
Dock Commissioners Appealed To
to Stop the Outrage.

Regardless OF the vehement protests OF
the Board OF Dock commissioners, en-
ployees of the Street-Cleaning Depart
ment have again blocked the vesey and
Canal street piers with slush, dirty snow
and refuse from the streets.
Yesterday both piers were ompara-
lively clear. During the night they were
used as dumping grounds by Andrews's
men. and this morning they were covered
to II depth OF from four to i've feet for
their entire lengths.
The Nesey street pier presents IA sorry
sight. With the exception of a narrow
road. wide enough for a single wagon.
down the centre, 1t Is impossible for
man or beast. Tn pier is 72l feet long
by 60 feet wide. Dockmast"r George A..
Woods estimates that In the nelghbarhood
Of 600 loads OF snow and dirt must have
been thrown on II to put II In Its present
condition. II viii take the work OF nifty
men Tor two days to clear II.
Mr.. Woods has complained to the Dock
Commissioners. who will doubtless adopt
stringent measures 10 prevent IA recur-
renee OF the Offense.
When the Nesey street dock was filed
with snow after the big storm which
preceded the last one the Dock Com
m~issl9nsrs revoked the permit granting
the right to the street Department to
dump clear snow from the end of the
pier" Subsequently the permit was re-
newed. 1t will probably be revoked
again.
In addition to the regular force, the
street Department has about 1000 extra
men employed. An effort will he made
to-day to clear the street crossings and
the entrances to the ferry-boat piers. Men
were put on tn" more important down
town streets last night. and this morn
ing. with the result that some Of them,
notably broadway. from Forty-seCond
street to the Battery, were
lively clear of snow and slush.

All the apparatus used in making whis-

ing from a malignant tumor known as
Il savcoma In his larynx. 1t involved the

removed the whole of the diseased larynx
and vocal apparatus, inserting a metallic
tube In It's place.
The doctors and pa tlent had gwen mp
all hope OF the patient ever being able
to artlculate again, but. to their sur
prise. as the wound healed the vocal
powers returned. Yesterday he appeared
before IA clinic at the College and ad-
dressed the students. telling them of the
operation. His speech was perfect, the

IN THE MISSION
Little Child Found III in the Five

Health Inspectors Would Vaccinate
Custom. House Clerks.

Smallpox has found its way INTO the
Five Points Mission, at 100 Worth street.
Hundreds OF children are harbored there.
The health officials are not alarmed,
they say. because thorough vaccination
and fum,ga ton have been the rule in the
institution.
Late yesterday afternoon the physician
Of the Mission notified the Bureau of
Contagious Diseases that there was a
patient In the Mission hospital whose
illness was Of "A suspicious nature. In
vcstigation resulted in the removal Of
Walter t?ngclage, four years old, to

The Collector and Surveyor say that
vaccination Is not compulsory, and only
such custom-Housc employees who de-
sir" II WI, receive the virus.
Hines, who developed the disease. had
not been at work since Feb. n. The
health inspectors therefore do not fear
that he will spread any contagion. and

so CHIT THE MAN
Mr.. Charles q. ]. Taylor Gould Not Escape
Official Position.
He Wanted to Go Back to Kansas, but
the President Thought Differently
"A Senator'S Endorsement.

Mr.. Charles H J. Taylor the colored
gentleman from Kansas who did not be-
come minister to Bolivia, and who. it is
earnestly hoped. will not become recorder
of deeds for the District, is a firm believer
in the Groverian theory that 1.-The office
should seek the man." Mr.. Taylor firmly
believes that he has been thrust into the
arena Of public affairs solely on account
Of his superior qualifications and Of his
being an exact fit to the emergency. A
few nights ago when Washington was
peacefully going to sleep without the slight
est suspicion that the President would
again affront the citizens of the District
by importing an outsider for a local office.
uptown drug store in this city and there
expanded. On this occasion Mr.. Taylor is
quoted as stating that he was not after any
office. That he was perfectly willing to
continue his farming operations in Kansas,
but that he had remained in washington
at the express wish of the President.
Mr.. Taylor further stated that after his
practical rejection by the Senate for the
Bolivian mission he had expressed his de-
sire to the President to return to Kansas,
but that Mr.. Cleveland had urged that he
wait, as he had something for him. and that
the something was the recordership or
deeds.
He Invented the "Man of Destiny"
This Is quite characteristic of Mr.. Charles
H. ]. Taylor. who is thoroughly imbued
with the idea that he is sort Of man of
destiny in a minor key. In fact, he places
great stress on the man of destiny business
1t Is said that to this doctrine Mr.. Taylor
