MANY PEOPLE BLED

Caterers, Owners of Soda Fountains
and COnfectiOners Forced to Pay
Tribute to the Tigers FOragers.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Chief counsel
Goff continued to probe for evidences of
blackmail at the session of the Lexow
committee to-day. He produced witnesses
who testified that the police officials were
accustomed to bleed the proprietors of soda
water fountains on the East Side. Some one
inquired whether he had discovered any
line of business that had not been COM
PEELED to pay a tribute to the police. 81
have not said Mr.. Goff, facetiously,
though / have been searching the town
over with fine-tooth comb
The first witness of the day, Frank III.
Johnson. told the committee of another
source of revenue to the police. His father
is a caterer, and, finding it necessary at
some of the suppers given by the elite 20
stretch awnings across the sidewalks, he
had often given the policeman assigned to
attend these affairs s..
Senator OConnor brought out the fact
that there were at least five hundred po-
iiceman assigned to watching the buildings
of private corporations This service costs
the city at least $6OO,UO0 annually and no
compensating advantages were received
Mr.. Golf said that this estimate was low
one and that the loss to the city was even
greater.
One proprietor of a retail store admitted
on the stand that he had challenged In
spector Williams to fight duel. Williams
had given Henry Maillard, the candy man
ufacturer whose building is located next
to the store Of Beyers, the right to use the
sidewalks for his trucks. Beyers COM
planned and said that it interfered with his
business as many OF his customers were Ia
dies. Williams said that there had never
been a lady in the store except his own
wife. During the controversy growing out
of this affair Beyers had issued his chal-
lenge. And that challenge stands to-day"
he said dramatically. as he concluded his
testimony A son of Beyers told a long
story of suggestion of detective Dalton

things would be squared if he would give
Williams gold table in the window worth
$780, Williams did not get the table, how

The Urchitell affair came up again for a
moment when Senator Cantor announced
that the charitable organization in whose
care the children OF Mrs. Urchitell had
been placed by the Gerry Society had re-
stored them to their mother being salts
fed of her fitness TO care for them. Police
clubbing and the improper character of sa-
looms permitted to do business were the
subjects of further testimony.

AGAINST GREAT ODDS.
Successful Trial of the Battle Ship
Maine OH Long Island Sound.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE official trial
of the United States battle ship Maine,
which took place to-day on Long Island
sound, promises good results, as the ship
passed through it very creditably. N. f.
Palmer, jr., representing the contractors
was very anxious to have the trial take
place out at in deep water, as the
sound is too shallow, he said, for a fair
test and to-day's run showed this very
plainly, she banked the water on each
side of her instead of its going underneath.
AS soon the Names anchor was hoisted
she was sent along at a good rate of speed
from the entrance of New London harbor
until abreast of Watch HILL Conn. Here
she was turned about and headed towards
the sound. AT half past 1 o'clock every
thing was in readiness for the trial to be-
gin, and a moderate forced draught was
put on. The ship was leading straight into
a "norwester" She went along at a fif-
teen-knot gait and there was scarcely any
vibration observable on board notwith-
standing the velocity with which her ma
chinery was being driven. AT 150 the log
showed that she was making eight knots
an hour, but between the Bartlett reef and
Cornfield lightships. a distance of eleven
and one-half miles, her time was forty-six
minutes. When the first of the ten buoys
which marked the twenty-five-mile Ericsson
trial course, was reached close watch
was kept, and the Maine traversed the
distance in one hour and thirty-four min
utes, an average of 1885 knots an hour.
Taking into consideration the adverse wind
and the tide this is as good as seventeen
knots, and the general verdict is that she
will be an eighteen-knot boat. The force
of the wind and the velocity Of the ship
caused the spray TO wash overheard from
bow to stern and frequently it went over
the bridge and pilot house. Captain Bruce
expressed his entire satisfaction with the
day'S work and so did all the officers. The
results of to-day's observations will not
be known for three or four days. as good
deal of figuring will be required before a
correct report can be made.
