TudaUnted by Defeat.

While female suffrage has carried the
day in New Zealand, it has experienced
defeat in South Australia, where the
adult suffrage bill, which embodied the
principle, was rejected in the popular
house on the third reading, but only by
a narrow majority. The friends of the
cause, however, are not at all discour-
aged and will return TO the battle with
dndaunted spirits till victory crowns
their efforts. Letter.

In New York Who Are Called Police
men ON the stand.


New York. Oct. 2.--Chief Counsel Con-
surprised the Lexow committee today.
He subpoenaed all the members OF
the force who had been convicted OF
clubbing citizens during the past year,
but who for some reason have retain
ed positions on the force. There are
nearly 100 cases of this character, and
almost all of the officers summoned
were In attendance this morning.
One of the first officers who testified
was Thomas Coleman, who had been
called to explain his statements in
connection with the alleged assault
upon George Apo The theory Of
the force and the testimony OF the pro-
prietor and inmates of the hotel where
Apo was injured was that Apo cut
his own throat Coleman, upon being
placed upon the stand. claimed that
Apo had confessed to him that he
had attempted suicide. He was sub
Jected to severe cross examination
by Mr.. Con and although he could not
shake the pOllcemans testimony of
the confession, the officer was badly
ratified at times.
The feature of the day, however,
was the testimony of men accused of
clubbing citizens. Many surprising
stories Of inhumanity were told by
the witnesses.
a son of Rev. John Hall, the Presby-
terlan divine, CLAIMED that he had
been forcibly elected from a station
mouse because he had gone there and
protested against an assault by an of
ficer upon an Italian fruit peddler.
A Columbian college student told of
the assaults that the policemen made
upon the students while they were
building bon fires In a vacant lot to
celebrate one OF their victories.
Thomas Lucca said that he had askel
Policeman Bernard Dunn If he had
caught a thief who stole 81 from him.
BY way of reply the officer clubbed
him, INJECTING a wound on his head re-
quiring twenty-seven stitches to patch
up. When he reached the police station
Il policeman pummelled him In the face.
Senator Cantor protested against the
ex-parte nature of the evidence and in
sisted that the records be produced 10
show the other side of the cases.
His remarks caused cheers from the
policemen present, and Chairman
Lexow threatened to have the room
cleared Of the officers II It was re-
peated.
Policeman George Lair was accused
OF clubbing a woman and trying to tear
her cheek by inserting his finger be-
tween her lips.
Policeman William Roheyg acknow-
lodged that he had broken a boys jaw.
but claimed that this particular case of
clubbing was accidental.
one policeman who carelessly handled
a revolver was fined twenty days pay,
but was allowed to remain on the force,
though II was admitted that the citizen
who was injured died from his wounds.
Fully fifty policemen were waiting
when an adjournment was effected, and
they We're told that they would not be
needed.
