COMFY ISLAND, Tune l5.-Ernest
Pitch. proprietor of the Palm Hotel

Pitch had been drinking champagne

West End Casino.
Pitch carried three large cigar boxes
filled with silver coin under his arm.
After drinking more champagne in an
upper box at the Casino he began to
cheer. Soon the Smilax sisters, gong and
dance performers. appeared on the
stage. They had just finished their first
song n were leaving the stage when
a shower OF silver coins fell upon their
heads.
Pitch had emptied one c~igar-box.
The Misses Smilax paid no attention
whatever to the valuable shower, but
started IN to sing their second song,
when down came the contents OF the sec.

and dance girls, and they stopped TO pick

which her records OF the plates were kept,
and which would have shown on their
face fraudulent alterations, were destroyed
as soon as = was known that the testi-
mony Of the witness Sill would be likely

This plays havoc with the claim that
the frauds were the work OF s~ubordinates

R0TH'S JEWELRY sE|zEO.
Columbia Passenger Charged with
Trying to Smuggle 1t In
Passengers Say He Made Himself
Obnoxious During the Voyage.

The first person to LAND when the
Hamburg-American steamship Column
bia arrived at her dock In Hoboken to-
day was Ignatz Roth, a German, who
appeared In a particular hurry to leave.
Col. Story. chief of the customs in
spectors. noticed the mans anxiety to
get away. and followed him to the
street. where he accosted him. He OBJ
jected to returning to the inspectors
office until threatened with arrest.
When searched, a quantity of jewelry,
consisting Of rings, pins. brooches and
hairpins. was found concealed on his
person. He claimed they were presents
for membe of his family, and de-
nounced their contiscation as an out
rage.
During tie TRIP, over Roth succeed
popular with the other passengers. They
say he avalled himself of every OPP
portunity to abuse America and Ameri-
can institutions and said that he only
came here for money and when he ac-
cumulated enough he would return to
his native lanL.
one passenger with two handsome
daughters was particularly pleased when
the customs officers subjected Roth to
the indignity of being searched. The
old gentleman said the man had tried
to make a favorable impression upon
every lady passenger on board. and was
so persistent In his attentions that he
was continually snubbed.
The Jewels found ON Roth's person
consisted largely of Rarnets and rubies.
The only diamonds were large solitaire
rings on each Of his little fingers.
Mr.. Roth will be called on to ex-
plain to the Collector why he neglected
to mention the jewelry in his declara-
ton to the inspectors.

THE L DIRECTOR.

Mr.. johnson. OF Indiana. a Republi-
q Congressman. was spelling for a
night in the House yesterday. He at
tempted to bully and brow beat Mr..
Maddox. Of Georgia. but the latter did
not seem disposed to submit to such
treatment. and the Sergeant-at!Arms
was compelled to step in between the
two belllgerent Representatives to rre-
vent blows from being interchanged.
Prior Il that Mr.. johnson had aired
his vocabulary oil Mr.. Holman. whom
he described as "a small. penurious
man." and charged him with Juggling"
with the Indian Appropriat ton bill. Mr..
Holman sat perfectly still and took no
notice Of the TRADE. But at its close Mr..
Pendleton. of West Virginia, rose to re-
ply. when Mr.. Holman. ~interrupting,
expressed the hope that he would take
no notice OF the Indiana bully's re-
marks.
Mr.. Holman has risen to make many
''objections' In the House, but never
such a popular one as this, the mem
bers breaking forth into an uproar OF
applause at his refusal to allow the
House to be disgraced by black
guardlsm.

A New walking Hat.

TIL Duchess OF York Is the name given
to the English walking hat that has
proved most popular this season.. per-
haps because of its adoption Of tn title
of the lovely Princess who was beloved
as May o: Teck before she became the
prospective Queen of England, This is a
simple hat, considered especially apprQ(
PIRATE with tailor gowns and with NOR
ing toilets, and is worn alike by elegal
young matrons and by unmarried cir
who find 1t more becoming than IN
sailor hat, because 1t Is less severe
shape. The crow is low and has tn
indentation familiar In the Alpine hat
but differs in havirg a more graceful
brim. broader in front and on the sided,
n well curled there. yet not so closely
as the Alpine hat. while the back is
quite narrow and rests on the projecting
coil OF hair.

CLUBBED BY A POLICEMAN.
MaIdin Snys Hays struck Hin
without Provocation.

Mhiu1n SnyS Hnyb STRUCK him
without Provocntion.
John Maldin. who says he lives at 379
Lexington avenue. was arraigned before
Justice Taintor, in the Tombs Police
Court, this morning, and fined S. on a
charge of drunkenness and disorderly
conduct. He was arrested at the corner
of Pear and Centre streets last night
by Policeman John M. Hays. Of the Oak
street station.
After he had BEEN taken dow stairs he
told his story to some other people, and
upon hearing 1t Justice Taintor again
called him to the bar. Maldin then said
that he had not been drunk. but had
been beaten badly by Hays and then
arrested for nothing. He is a fireman on
the American line steamship New York
and had been working all day yesterday.
! Last night he called on n friend at the
power house near Barrow street. They
had three glasses of beer.
He started home at midnight and met
Hays at the corner of Pearl and Centre
streets. He was talking to two women.
He happened to glance at them, he says.
and Hays asked: who are you looking
at?'
Maldin did not reply, and the police
man then, according to his story, hit
him over the head with his club several
times and arrested him. At the station
house Maldin told his story, and after
lecturing the officer the Sergeant sent
Maldin to the Chambers Street Hospital.
His head was swathed In ~bandages this
morning.
Maldin did not reply, and the police
man advised him to keep quiet and when
arraigned say that he was drunk and
fell. He also said that Hays allowed
him to go into two saloons and get a
drink on the way to court.
Justice Taintor was very indignant
and ordered Hays to appear before him
this afternoon.

There Was n Moses.


To the Editor
Nick odemus' is right. For oh! how often, IN
an argument with n believer In the Bible. n dis
credited volume, do they endeavor to maintain
their assertions by quoting the Bible to prove
the Bible correct. As TO the existence OF Moses, I
must say that his inference is logical. but his
deduction erroneous. The latest results of trans
lating some newly found Inscriptions on temple
walls and statues by authoritative Egyptologlsts
mention not only the Pharaoh OF the Exodus and
his son. but also Moses and the plaques. This
certainly would tend to prove Moses's actual ex-
istence. Taking the d~eductive logic OF mick ODE
mus for a guide. there is greater reason to be-
lievs Jesus Christ a myth. than not: q fact
finding quite an extended acceptance among stu
dents. sNA0.

farmer and asked him II he thought
he could win. He just smiled. You

farmer set the pace from the start, and
zone of the others could get near him.
He won by ten yards. Then the coun,
trymen began to become suspicious and
say the tranger was n professional. He
didn't say anything. He just smiled.
THE next event was the swimming

He was in magnificent condition.. his
muscles showing with every movement he
made. Well, he won the swimming race.

YESTERDAYS DEVELOPMENTS.

The time of the Lexow Committee was
mainly occupied yesterday with a his
tory OF the green-goods business that
must nave surprised the unsophisticated
Senators from Nyack and Binghamton
and Clyde.
An expert who confesses to several
sojcurns in State prison, and who is a
trained criminal. gave some surprising
statistics, showing the thorough organi-
cation and extensive operation of the
business as we'll as its tempting profits.
1t must astonish many New Workers.
even to learn that fifteen thousand
green-goods circulars are sent out of the
city daily; that one boss" of the bust
ness has a capital OF a hundred thou
sand dollars n keeps ten thousand
dollars of genuine money always on
hand to show to the victims; that this
persons profits a been occasionally
as high as eight thousand dollars in n
day. and that the witness himself. as a
- steerer" o a 5 per cent. interest
has made. with tips" six hundred dol
lars in one days work. The perfect or
ganization Of the business Is also a
matter OF surprise. 1t has Its ''backer.'
who Ii the principal; It's WRITER'S" who
send out the circulars: its "steerers."
who meet the customer and conduct him

or" who changes the good money pack
age for the sawdust after 1t has been
put up; the taller" who conducts the
nuafprnar IN fha railroad aud y,,tu hi,,
and his purchase on the train.
The witness testified, from belief, that
the police are lin with the green
goods bosses, and give them and their
employees protection. He declares that
every policeman at the depots and fer
ries knows him and his business. and
when he is steering" a customer he Is
new interfered with. The ''backer'' Is
the man who does the business with the
police. but the employees are all told
that they are under protection" The
witness also testified hat the green
goods people have a friend in the Post
ONCE to look after their interests.
There is no direct evidence against
the police In this testimony, but a
strong presumption that some OF them
are In the pay of the g~reen-goods men.
In the disorderly house feature of the
investigation yesterday the first rebuff
was experienced by the prosecution In
q witness from the Tenderloin precinct
who has been in business ten years,
and swore she never paid a dollar for
police protection and was never asked
for q dollar.
It is very desirable that the investi-
CATION should be vigorously pushed. A
long recess Is talked OF. and the EVIL
dence for the defense 10 to be
postponed until after. the case
for the prosecution Is closed. It
IL very desirable that the evidence
should be all In before election. There
Is or ought TO be nothing political about
the investigation, and the result should
not be left. in uncertainty when the
election is held.
The Committee had better sit all the
summer than have a doubt rest upon
the entire fairness and impartiality of
Its work.

drowned Tomatoes.

Now that tomatoes are becoming large
and finer. Drowned tomatoes will be
found very appetizing. Take large round
tomatoes and halve them. place them.
the skin side down, in a frying-pan in
which a very small quantity Of butter
and lard has been previously melted.
sprinkle them with salt and pepper. and
drcdge well with -four. Place the pan
on the hot part OF the fire and let them
brown thoroughly; then stir and brown
again, and so on until they are quite
done. They lose their acidity and their
flavor is superior to stewed tomatoes.
