LEXOw INVESTIGATION.
Some Pretty Tough Tales Told About
Brutality Of Policemen.

HNAAS AASh'J
Brutality Of Policemen.
NEW YORK. Oct. 2.-Chiet Counsel
Golf surprised the LexOw committee
today. He subp@naed all the mem.
bers of the forc9 who had been con.
victed of clubbing citizens during the
past year, out who for some reason
have retained positions on the force.
There are nearly 100 cases of this char
arter and almost all the officers sum-
moned were in attendance this morn
ing. One of the first officers who tes-
titled was Thomas Coleman, who had
been called to explain his statements
in connection with an al
legged assault upon George
AppO. The theory OF the police aud
the testimony OF the proprietor and
the inmates OF the hotel where Appo
was injured is that Apo cut his own
throat. Coleman, being placed on the
stand, claimed that Apo had confess
ed to him that he had attempted sui
eide. He was subjected to a severe
cross examination by Mr.. Gof, and
though he could not shake the police
mans testimony OF the confession, the
officer was badly ratified at times.
The feature of the day, however,
was The testimony Of the men accused
of clubbing citizens. Many surprising
stories OF Inhumanlty were told by the
witnesses. A son OF Rev. John Hall,
the Pres sbyterian divine, claimed that
he had been torcibly elected from q
station house because he had gone
there and protested against al assault
by an officer upon an Italian
fruit peddler, A Columbia col
lege student told OF the as
saults that the policemen made
upon the students whils they were
building bonfires in vacant lot to
celebrate one of their victories.
Thomas Lucca said that he had asked
Policeman Bernard Dunn if he had
caught q thief who stole $4 from him.
BY way of reply the officer dubbed
him, iDfiicting a wound on his head
and requiring q stitches to patch him
up. When he reached the police sta
tiOn another policeman pummelled
him in the face.
Senator Cantor protested against
the exparte nature of the evidence,
and insisted that the records should
bs prudu ;ed TO show the otLer side OF
the cases. His remarks CAUSED cheers
from the policemen present, and
Chairman Lexow threatened to have
the room cleared If the Otfense was
repeated. Policeman George Lair
vas accused of clubbing woman and
trying to tear her cheek by in
serting his finger between her lips
Policeman William Rohey acknowl-
edged that he had broken q boy's jaw
but claimed that THE particular act Of
clubbing was accidental. One poiice-
man who carelessly handled a revol-
yer was tiued 20 days pay but was al
lowed to remain on the force, though
il was admitted that the citizen who
was injured died from his wounds.

No More Milk.

sThere is no more milk in the
world" said an old gourmet as he sat
at his luncheon at the Manhattan club.
''It has gone, and not even bubble
of regret seems to mark the spot where
it sank out of sight. Milk, the ear
liest staff of all generations, is now a
thing unknown in polite circles. It's
all cream now. It does not matter
whether I dine here or in Texas or in
California, everywhere the walters
ask: will you have cream in you
coffee?' and will you have cream hot
or cold? The good old staple, milk,
is no longer called by name. Even
in Chicago they call it cream. Milk
is tabooed. 1t has gone out of exis-
tence with the word woman, the
word undertaken the word dress
and a lot of other noble terms. Now
it's always cream, lady, funeral di-
rector and gown wherever you go,
even in Chicago. And yet the cream
is often pale blue and thin, and if it
was not served as cream I would swear
it was milk, and darned bad milk at
that. New York Sun.

A Point Gained for shippers.

The Grand Trunk road, Canadian
railway running east from Chicago,
has announced recently the adoption
of new form of bill of lading which
will strike the average business man
as the most sensible thing of the kind
yet forthcoming. 1t is simple and as
nearly perfect in its simplicity as such
thing can be made. The only con-
ditions it make are that the goods for
which it receipts are accepted, sub
ject to the duties and responsibilities
imposed upon the carriers by law.
This is all there is of it. The ship
per is asked to waive no rights and
the road is released from no liabilities.
It merely accepts what is brought to it,
and undertakes to deliver it to its des-
tination, subject to whatever rules for
the protection of shippers the courts
and the statutes have laid down. This
is certainly welcome innovation and
probably marks the beginning of the
end of the controversy between the
railroads and their patrons over "uni-
form" and especial" bill of lading-
devices whose only purpose has been
to release the carriers from some of
the responsibilities which naturally
belong to the business in which they
are engaged, and for which their
usual charges allow them ample COM
pensation. 1t is not to be expected
that all the other roads will follow the
example of the one mentioned and
adopt like simple and equitable bill;
but with one road using such form,
it will be difficult with competing and
connecting lines to hold to the special
contract arrangements which they have
sought to impose upon the shipping
public. Age of Steel.

The developed mines of the Occur
d'Alenes are capable of giving work
to 4, 1000 men. Instead they are en-
ploying few hundred. Organized
labor keeps insisting that, in spite of
the tremendous slump in the value of
silver and lead, in spite of the reduc-
tion in the prices of all commodities
and the lessened cost of living, it shall
have every cent of the old-time boom
wages. If labor would listen here to
reason, and take such wages as the
mine-owners could pay-such wages
in reality as would give labor the same
purchasing power it had three or four
years ago-there would be employ
ment within fortnight for 1000
workers. This would instantly bring
better times to this whole section. The
farmers of the Palouse would have a
home market for their surplus pro-
duce, train loads of supplies would be
ordered in Spokane, all lines of indus
try would brighten up, and there
would not be enough labor in this Sec
tion to supply the active demand.
There is no question about this.
Four thousand men can have en-
ployment in the Occur d'Alenes at
from 80 to $3 per day, and secure a
written agreement of higher wages
just as soon as lead and silver start
back toward the old time values. In
the face of these undisputed facts what
folly to talk of marching beggar
armies $500 miles to Washington.
The notion is preposterous. 1t was
conceived in lunacy, developed in
folly and Incidence, and is being sup
ported by unreason and demagogy.
If it should triumph, the kingdom of
unthrift and bedlam will have come.
But it will not succeed. There is
enough common sense, patriotism and
courage in this country to save it from
the pernicious nonsense of this wild
vagary. A year hence men now pam
dering to this craze will have feeling
of contempt for their own folly and
demagogy. Spokane Review.

open a door. It was the machine

dreds of hammers were all beating
at once, and I was nearly deafened.
Looking at my man, saw his lips
move, and, leaning forward, / just
