ROCHESTER, n. V, May l4.-The May term OF

conduct the court. Ten prisoners occupied thu
dock. or these nine were discharged BY JudC"
Coke and one was held for the September term
in Buffalo. Marshal G.. +. Peck said:
The occasion of this miscarriage OF justice is
owing to the failure of the Committee on Ap-
preparations OF Congress. Ind hoped that tho
lesson furnished by the fact that this same term
OF court was adjourned one year ago. and Tor
the like neglect OF Congress to furnish fund.-;
would have prevented n recurrence of the kind
Judge Coke said: This neglect is not the re-
suit OF inadvertence. II occurs too often TO be
passed over as a mistake. 1t Is without palia-
tion excuse. The blame lies at the door Of
the committee of Congress. 1t Is not unlikely
that the motive may be discovered In that .iimsy

CHICAGO'S P4Y ROLL FRAUDS.
Three Hundred Fictitious Names In One
Ward.

CHICAGO. May 14.-Commissioner of Public
Works Kent is pushing vigorously the invcsi-
CATION into the pay roll frauds. Employees OF
the Water Pipe Extension and Street Cleaning
Departments were notified that before
drawing their pay for March and April they
must make atfidavits to the correctness Of their
Claims. So far the discrepancies between tho
afiidavits and those of the foremrn under
whom the signers have worked show the inten-
ton to defraud tie city OF various small sums
agRrcgating ut least $4,000.
Commissioner Kent is pretty well satisfied
that in most OF the fraudulent cases the labor
ers were victims rather than Conspirators. In
almost onc-third of the atdaviis presented to-
day to liookkceper Freeman the mems claims
were less than the amounts credited 10 them on
the pay rolls, Many OF the names on the pay
rolls are fictitious. No response to many re-
quests that the ainrcrs call for their wages
were received. and nobody appea 'cd to claim
large sums which the pay rolls reg 'rtercd. II Is
said that in the Twenty ninth ward pay rolls
some 400 names have been found TO be ictt-
tious. At many OF the addresses given in the
pay rolls the detectives found only vacant lots.
