After the foreclosure one important
step still remained to be taken-s
''patent" must be obtained. Who is
the right man to procure that patent ?
A statesman, Of course, representing
the dominant party, and hence man
of undue influence. Such a statesman
was found In the person Of Hon. S. B.

matter, imparts to Commissioner
Sparks this information:
"In 1873 ceased all active connec.

SAYS They Are Giving Their Time too
Much to Outside Mat

New York, March 1.-The state
senate judiciary committee, in invcsu-
eating the court of general sessions
and hearing arguments en- the Golf
bill, had before them Recorder Golf
who told the committee of neglect Of
duty on the part of the court at
taches which, he said, constituted the
reason for reorganization. There are
men in this room," said the recorder,
who are on the pay roll as court of
ticers, but who have not rendered the
state a dollars worth of service.
The recorder then instancCd Patrick
DAILY, who was present. He said he is
head porter at the Manhattan Beach
hotel, and his time is entirely devoted
to that work. He also named Mr.. Nc
CURE as having entirely too much out,
side business. The recorder recon-
mended that Chief Clerk Carroll be
supplanted by man of different type
under civil service rules, naming Dep
uty Clerk Edward Hall as suitable
man. The recorder told how he had
tried to get other judges to let him
remove Carroll, and to appoint sue
ceSsor, but found them united in OPP
position. Golf then charged Judge
Cowing with making removals to make
room for Tammany men.
That's false" shouted Cowns, who
was present.
Mr.. Golf Their proceeded, amid an up
O'Connor threatened to clear the room.
Judge Cowng was then examined.
He admitted that he had been nom
mated by Tammany but asserted tina
he received the unanimous vote Of both
parties, as an independent. Continu-
ing he asserted the animuS of Golf
animosity toward him was THAI Golf

tering bill in the legislature increas-
ing his own salary to 5000 year,
under the subterfuge of office rent,
while the recorders offices are fur

said he was sorry Golf was so unfair
and unjust to the employees, and
sought to explain the absence of meE
under Colts displeasure by saying tina
they were i'll.
