MAZET COMMITTEE.
Resumes It's Investigation of New
York's Municipal Affairs.


NEW YORK, June 1.-The sessions Of
the Mazet Committee were noticeable
mainly for two points, one the turning
at bay Of Mr.. Moss and the other evi-
dence regarding the existence in this
city Of the most frightful form Of de-
pravity.
By far the greater part of the ses-
sions were devoted to the examination
of President Feitner and Commissioner
Sheehy, both of the Tax Board. Their
evidence merely went to show the long
established inefficiency of the system Of
personal taxation, and revealed nothing
sensational.
Mr. Moss. opened the session with an
outburst of i Indignation against the
way in which witnesses had treated
him. He demanded the protection of
the committee, and announced his in
tention of bringing Police Captain Price
before the committee to make him
prove the charges he made yesterday
against Mr.. Moss.
During this heated appeal from the
committee counsel, DR.. O'Sullivan, who
appears for the city departments of the
inquiry, interrupted with anger, and
Mr. Moss demanded that Mr.. O'Sullivan
be denied the privilege of participating
in the proceedings. Mr.. MaZet upheld
Mr. Moss, and DIR. O'Sullivan was re-
buked, but allowed to remain in the
committee room.
The evidence regarding the fragrant
existence of the worst forms of vice
was given by two Of Mr.. Moss agents.
1t established the fact that under the
eyes of the police there were running
on the Bowery the vilest of resorts, pat
ronized nightly by persons of the low
est social standing.

lures in the finish on some of the walls.
The Winchester Hotel, on Third street,
also shows signs of the force of the
shock, plaster having been dislodged
from the ceiling in various places. Other
aGildings were slightly damaged, bat
not to a serious extent.
Reports from the interior of the State
show that while the shock was quite
severe in some parts no one was injured
and the property loss will be nominal.
At the ferry depot the electric lights
were extinguished and the big clock
stopped. Clocks were also stopped in
various parts Of the city.

Thomas Kehoe, who died a few days

Kehoe was ship calker. who had ac-
cumulated considerable money. He was

weeks ago his lawyer sent him to the
Grand Hotel, which is run by Anderson
and put him under doctors care. ~
few days ago Anderson presented a
check for $1,000 signed by Kehoe, but
the bank refused payment, though it
held Kehoe's money. This led to an
investigation, and Kehoe was found in
a room at the hotel nearly dead. He
was removed to a hospital, and there
died. It lis alleged that Kehoe was
piled with liquor, and this caused his
