requires the searchlight of truth is the
Registrars office. The people have long
been aware OF glaring incompetence and
inefficient service rendered by this one
branch of city government, but the reve-
lations now made of criminal practices
during the last election are enough to
call for instant change and for summary
punishment upon each offender"
No words could fully convey his disgust

he hoped before the committee got through

renovated and in the future would be run

LOUIS COHEN'S CASE.
1t Will Go to the Jury Some Time To-
Day,

The trial OF Louis Cohen, charged with
perjury, is rapidly coming to close. The
case will go to the Jury to-day after As
sistant District Attorney Black makes his
answering statement and Judge Wallace
delivers his charge.
Yesterday morning was consumed in the
cross-examination of D. J. Gallagher, the
shorthand reporter, as to certain answers
made by Cohen during his examination in
the Sti1well-Evans case. Alexander Ath-
anasiade, formerly bellboy at the Bald
win Hotel, was called to the stand also to
tell what he knew of Cohen's residence at
the hotel, but as he knew nothing of ma
terial Importance his examination did not
last long.
Mr.. Black made the opening address for
the prosecution, and he was followed by
J. 81. Long, who appeared for the defense.
T. J. Crowley, also for the defense, fol-
lowed Mr.. Long, and the court took a re-
cess until this morning.

An Unluckv Drunk.

John Borden, young teamster, was ar

dition. In the Southern station he was

who had stolen the rig from him on the
night in question. Hence the charge
against Borden was raised from that OF

SATURDAY MORNING ORCHESTRA
It's First Concert Under Scheel's Baton
at the Auditorium,


The annual concert OF the Saturday
Morning Orchestra takes place this even
ing at the Auditorium. This will be their
first jubilee performance since Scheel took
the baton, and considerable interest is
manifested in musical circles over the
changes inaugurated by the popular con-
ductor.
The members of the orchestra are full of
enthusiasm in their work and all who have
heard the rehearsals say that great artistic
progress has been made under Scheels
direction.
One Of the first things he did was to
abolish the brass, and though there is less
noise now, there is much more music The
orchestra will be assisted this evening by
Miss Jeanette Wilson, a young contralto
who has been studying at the Boston Con-
Seryatory.
The following programme will be rem
dered:

THE Law Was IGNORED.
Street Funds Depleted by Gross
lIiSmanagelnent.
ishWOrth Left With a Pittance on
His Hands to Run His Large
Department.

Street Superintendent Ashworth has
made a thorough examination of the
Street Department funds in order to see
what money will be available during the
next six months for his office. A detailed
statement of the accounts show that he
will have less even than was at first sup
posed by many thousands of dollars.
The statement prepared shows how glar-
ingly the one-twelfth act was violated by
the late Superintendent Ackerson and the
Street Committee of the Board of Super
visors. Of the total appropriation and
moneys transferred of 1888, 256 67, Acker-
son and the late Street Committee
managed when existing contracts are paid
for to spend all but $84, $50 SO. This sum
may be further reduced as only an estimate
has peen made on the existing contracts.
Of the 1914, $50 &c., about $4,000 will be re-
quired for street-sweeping alone, about
$4,000 month. SO it will be seen
how little will be left for Ashworth to
manage his big department..
He will be partially crippled for six
months. His Office is daily besiegedby hun
dreds OF unemployed men who want work
on the streets, but none can be employed
as the funds will not permit it, and Ash
worth is determined to have no deficit if
he can help it. He states that he will live
within his appropriation. His intention
is to put as many men as possible on the
sewers, which are sadly in need of repair
in many parts of the city. Should any
money be left he viii employ it in repair
ing the streets. The following is the state
ment prepared by Mr.. Ashworth of the
funds available up to the present time:

be asked to attend. AS usual, the Secre-
tary of War, the Commissioners, the Trus-

and cody announced in a boisterous manner
that he had called to collect on a long
standing bill against ono Paul E. Flynn
and if that Individual did not pony up"
he would .'spring" the bad bill wagon"
on him.
Mr. Flynn, who is said to be one of the
most highly respected clerks in the Treas
ury, was at his desk. not dozen yards from
the intruder. When the stranger finished
his harangue and the victim could catch his
breath. Mr.. Flynn suddenly arose and ap-

Hicks next turned up in tie clerks Of

and yesterday morning Officer Garroway

Later in the day Clerk Flynn. Hicks, and
several witnesses on either ride appeared
in the upper police court. The collector
went on the Stand and told his story 0f
the affair.
Il went TO the treasury" he said, "and
did my best to collect the bill from that man,
but he made dead rush at me and used
threats"
What kind of threats?" asked the court
HE said he would do me and l know
that had I not got out of his way he would
have broken me all up"
Counsel asked the complainant If defend

From Carlisle I saw him and after
explaining the Case he told ME to go ahead.
When went in Flynn went at me like wild
because I told him if he didn't pony up
would spring the bad bills W agon on him.
When the laughter had subsidized in the
courtroom Flynn told his side of the story
and impressed uponthe judge how aggravat-
ing it was TO have q man come Into ones
place of business and openly insult him.
Are you afraid of Flynn" asked the
judge
