LexOw Committee Investigates
the Clubbing of Citizens.
Lawyer Moss Says it is Enc0ur-
aged Since Not Punished.
BLUE WITH PERJURY.
Impossible to Convict Because
Of False Swearing.
Policemen Might Brain Citizens
Without Fear of Justice.

New YORK, Oct 2.-Clubbing by the
police was the main subject of inquiry of
the Lexow committee. Something like
fifty policemen were present when the
proceedings began. They were, said
Lawyer Frank Moss, officers who had
been convicted by the board Of police
or clubbing citizens "Our object" the
attorney continued, s'is to show them
while there have been a hundred convic-
tions in the past three years for club
bing, only four dismissals from the
force have occurred. Thus we alIege
that the board encourages clubbing BY
falling to properly punish il"
The policemen, who are all big fellows.
looked unhappy and apprehenslve and
as if they would give a months salary to
be we'll out of it all. When the commit
tee had taken their seats Mr.. GoH out
lined the days work as Mr. Moss had
done adding that of the four dismissals
for clubbing only one was for clubbing
citizen, the other three being for club
bing brother officers.
Then Mr.. Goff made this astounding
statement: Policemen are exempt from
the operation of the law. They commit
feIenies which would put civilian IN
prison and are only punished by a fine
"a citizen may be Drained and the bru-
tai officer will only have to fear probably
thirty days pay; in other ways the po-
Justice will be- meted out to them. We
also call your attention to the perjury
committed when these policemen are
brought to trial. To quote the language
of a police commissioner, The air al pO-
lice headquarters trial room is blue with
perjury
Lawyer Moss took the stand and was
sworn. He testified that he was counsel
to the Parkhurst society and member
of the executive committee. He then
told of the 25th street property owners
association, which started in 1888,
and lasted for several years, to purify
the block. He was the counsel to the
association and pushed the fight The
police were in league with the criminal
classes.
Alexander S. Williams was in COM
mand Of the Nineteenth precinct in wEich
Twenty street IS contained. The
aptain sent ward man around to the
Indignation meeting of the association to
tell them to drop their work or he would
club them out of the precinct.
Mr.. Moss said he replied: "GO tell
your captain he will explode can of
dynamite If he tackles u.s."
Then the witness told how Williams
had been brought to jail in July, 1887,
and although the evidence was strong
and complete he was acquitted on tie
vote.

APPEAL FOR DECENCY.
The Mayor Calls Attention of the School
Board to a Great Evil.
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE CITY SCHOOL
BOARD.

MAYORS OFFICE. TOPEKA, Oct. 2, 1894.
Hon r. b Welch. President City Board Of
DEAR SIR:=I beg to call the attention
of the Board of Education specifically to
An infamous condition of which they
must already have had an intimation if
not Information. In close proximity to
Jackson street school, a house Of i'll fame
has been boldly and defantly running
for months. It is so notorious that almost
anyone could point it out to you. 1t is
just across the street with no intervening
screen or kindly shadow to protect the
innocent pupils from its deadly vapors.
The moral atmos sphere which surrounds
our schools is more important than pure
air or pure water. If smallpox was in
that building you would insist that the
infected persons be instantly removed TO
some remote pest house or that the prem
ises be walled in and strictly quaran-
tined.
Public schools and houses Of ill-fame
running side by side are innovation
never known before in this city, and the
patrons Of the public schools demand
that either the school or the immoral
house be closed at once, Parents repose
IN supposed security while they intrust
their little ones III your charge for edu-
cation. which includes moral protection
as we'll as mental development.
This matter should not be ignored. be-
cause it may be dirty job. The poison
WQiCn cmdudtG5 from SuCn pest houses
may be uncOnscIOusly OOzIng into your
own homes. Certainly it reaches some
homes and Indirectly affects every home
in the city. | have been told that the
keepers of this disreputable house boldly
defy mOlestation on the ground that one
of the police officials has special privil-
ages there and if distur bed they will ex-
pose him. l am also told that one of the
principal officials Of the police insists
that such dens of vice are a necessity in
our city and should be fostered and en-
couraged. Topeka was never before re-
duced to such depths Of degradation.
Such libels on the morality aud good
name of our citizens wore never ventured
before even by the lowest villain, much
less by any official whose duty it was to
enforce all laws.
1 appeal to the board Of education,
appeal to the churches, / appeal to all
good people to aid in driving all dens of
vice from our city.

was disappointment The story it tells
is a splendid one SO far as dramatic in
terest is considered aud the dialogue is
for the most part bright, even if it does
sound though it might have been
clipped from the philosophy columns Of
Kansas newspapers. The moral tone of
the piece. however, IS far from that
respectable child should be taken to

be held up before public AS sample
of the morals expected of society people,
While Frohman's stock companies that

There was only one real artist in the
cast last night and that was Miss Oliver
in the role Of Lady Windermere's lost
mother, the adventures.
There was small audience ont last

Aside from the money consideration
the piece seems to have been written to
air some of Mr.. Wilde's eccentricities as

Lives Were Lost.
WICHITA, Kan, Oct 2.-The tornado
which tore through the northern part Of
the city last night fortunately confined
itself TO damaging property and left hui
manity alone. Buildings of all kinds
were demolished, twisted out Of shape
and removed from their foundations, yet
their occupants suffered no harm outside
Of bruises and scratches and not a single
fatality accompanied the destruction to
prope rty.
From here the twister lifted and dis
appeared to the northwest. From what
can be learned from surrounding towns
