Mr.. Moss endeavored in . persuasive
way to induce Mr.. Croker TO give fur
ther information on the subject Of
money making, but tho witness simply
refused to give details.
Incidentally, Mr.. Croker praised Chief
Devery and the police department and
was on the stand when the hearing sd-
journed. g
why Jadgs DAILY Was Tar.sd Down.
Former Judge Joseph F. Daily, who
was called during tho course Of tho aft
ernoon, said that he had been notified
in the early part Of last year that he
could not expect denomination. This
notification came directly from Mr..
Croker and was, he said, the result OF
his refusing to appoint chief clerk Of
the court of common pleas recon.

refused to make . judicial order for the
removal Of tho legal sales to Ill Broad

located. .1" gE# - 81.
Former Judge Roger A. Pryor, who
followed Judge DAILY, testified that he
too had contributed to Tammany Hall
on account of his nomination, he hav-
ing sent check for SO, 900 payable to
the order Of Richard Croker, chairman
of the finance committee of Tammany
Hall. This check was returned to him
the following day and he was asked to
make the check payable to bearer.
This he did.
Carroll an Unwilling Witness.
Another interesting figure on the wit
ness stand was John F. Carroll, Mr..
Croker's chief lieutenant. Mr.. Carroll
did not prove a very easy witness and
because OF his refusal to answer ques-
tions Mr.. Moss suggested that he might
have to have Mr.. Carroll sent to prison
for contempt Of court.
It developed during the examination
that Mr.. Carroll had given up 81, 500
position to accept his present position in
Tammsny Hall. which, theoretically, il
without q salary. Mr.. Moss pointed
out that therefore Mr.. Carroll was with
out visible means of support and was,
technically, q pauper. The witness,
however, denied this, while at the same
time he denied that he was receiving a
salary from Mr.. Croker or from Tam
many Hall.
Mr.. Carroll made the admission that
"what Mr.. Croker says goes" And,
according to him also, it goes with
everybody connected with Tammany
Hall or holding his Office through the
good wishes of that organization.

WASHINGTON, April 49, Secretary

positive and unequivocal statement that
the reports were absolutely without

Secretary Alger had his attention called
to recent rumors that he would resign
after the investigation into the conduct
of the war and incidental matters cease
and that his successor had already been
determined upon. He said that all
statements Of that character were false;
that he has not entertained any such in

with the evident purpose Of attempting
to force him to leave the cabinet. He

New YORK, April 15.-Richard Gro
ker was before the Mazet investigating
committee during the day and his ex-
animation was remarkable one, espe-
cially when he replied to the questions
propounded to him by Mr.. Moss. He
was brief and direct and took advan-
tage of many opportunities afforded
him to retort in a manner that evoked
applause from those gathered in the
committee room. ..
Mr.. Croker gave events q somewhat
dramatic turn when, after refusing to
answer several questions concerning his
private affairs, he held up his right
hand and said impressively: III

When the Tammany chief went on

Mr.. Moss said he would accommo-
date him and he endeavored to do 90.
He drew from Mr.. Croker the fact that
the Tammany chief believed that all

partments should 60 to the victorious

A matter that Mr.. Moss gave atten-

with the auctioneering business COM
Quoted BY Peter r. Meyer, by whom
the majority of the judicial sales were
conducted. Mr.. Croker said he had
been q member of the firm for some
years and as q true Democrat he ex-
pected to be befriended in the way Of
profit from the sales. " &
"Then you are working for your
pocket" said Mr.. Moss.
.''All the time, the same as you are"
1etorted the witness.
Mr.. Croker told the committee that it
was customary for candidates for Office
to contribute to election expenses, and
stated also that contributions had been
as high as $1,000 or $1,000. He said
that the contributions were not compul-
sorry, but were in many cases, on the
contrary, voluntary.
Mum Regarding Private Affairs.
Perhaps the most interesting part of
the investigation was that in which Mr..
Croker was questioned closely as to how
he had made his money. MIR. Croker

THE "RED BOOK" GOES.

Decision OF Judge bl0dle "hlon VTo0e1.
cally Admits IL - Evidence.
PHILADELPHIA, April 15.-After con-
siderable argument by counsel for the
defense and the district attorney, Judge
Biddle decided that Witness Goldsmith,
former clerk in the Peoples bank,
should be permitted to testify as to en-
tries in the "red book" and their con-
nection with the regular bank books.
The decision practically admits the IA
nous "red book" as evidence against
Senator Quay.
During all the examination touching
on the books no intimation of the
amounts or names was allowed to reach
the jury. The prosecution all. along,
however, has alleged that this book will
show that Cashier Hopkins computed
interest on state funds and deposited
the money to Senator Ouay'e credit.

Mr.. Strauss motion was supported by MT A. j.
Marcuse, who expressed the hope that the option
would be renewed, if it cost something, IT It ex
PRED before the committee had time make the pur
chase.
Mr. Freshman maintained he had heard no good
reason why new temple should be built He was
decidedly opposed to it, but would abide by the decl
sion of the majority He attended services regularly
on Friday evening and had never seen the building
overcrowded Such the only two days in
the year There plenty of room for the young
men, Mr.. Binswanger had struck the keynote when
he said it was matter Of pride
ENTIRELY MODEST.
The opinion was expressed by Mr.. Leon Waller
stein that the assembage entirely too modest.
He had hoped that after the plain report of the
mttee that others not on the committee would have
spoken in support of the report. Our lives are made
up largely Of sentiment. Is it not matter of pride
that the community h as advanced every particular
during the last twenty years? more eligible site
meant a. larger attendance. AS had been said, new
temple must be built by ALL and he hoped, unless a
large majority was in favor of the project, that it
would be dropped.
Mr. L. T. Morris had come to listen not to speak.
He appre the efforts of the rabbi too much to
oppose his wishes without good reason. He had
considered the matter carefully and prepared to
vote no. He did not admit the claims OF the young
people They had done nothing and deserved moth
ing He would acquiesce in the result, and when
called upon his subscription would be ready Sulk1ng
not in his vocabulary. AS treasurer ct the con-
gregation, he would say there was but 81 600 on
hand as surplus. Sentiment is all very well, but
temple cannot be built with nothing The project OF
starting out to build $4,000 temple with 81, 900
on hand did not appeal to his sense of reason.
fund should be created in advance.
MUST MAKE START.
Mr.. Isaac Cohen wished it understood that he
wanted temple no worse than any one else
but start must be made at some time
Rabbi Calisch speaking second time stated he
wished it understood that all his remarks were in
tended to be strictly impersonal. He wanted to see
the question settled on it's merits. He cited the
recently mortuary chapel instance where
building was begun without dollar on hand, and
vet to. day there is not cents Indebtedness on it.
The Jewish South. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1893-1899, 1899-05-12

there was reason to believe that larger attend
ance would ever be secured.
Mr.. /. Cohen explained that the committee had
looked into the question of finances very closely.
There would be no difficulty in getting the money.
The building could be put off for years if necessary
but the lot would have to be acquired at The
congregation could decide at any time when to build
The option is only for thirty days. Let committee
be appointed to raise the money and if it is not OBJ
tanned of course they cannot purchase.
Mr.. Isaac Held did not think the committee should
do all the speaking and stated that what he would
say officer of the congregation and not as
committeeman. There is not seat for sale in the
body of the synagogue. Recently half pew
made vacant by death, and there five applicants
for it. Young men were kept out by the lack Of seats
new synagogue had been needed for five years.
MATTER PRIDE.
Mr.. H. S. Binswanger thought the people present
wanted to know exactly what motives had actuated
the committee. The question hch appealed most
to him the pride which should be taken in this
movement. The present house of worship is not in
keeping with the dignity and advancement of the
community
Mr.. M. ]. Straus inquired how it was proposed to
pay for the lot if purchased-what would the terms
be?
Mr.. Charles Hutzler did not know exactly, but
thought they would probably be one fourth cash.
His idea to take the $4,000 now on hand and
make cash payment of that amount at once Then
subscriptions should be asked and their payment
made as lenient as possible He would suggest five
year subscriptions, fifth payable each year and
no interest. AS fast the money is received pay it
on the lot Another plan would be to receive sub
scrptions and float bonds which would be taken up
they became due. He believed that the entire
amount would be taken by the congregation without
going outside.
MOTION TO THE POINT.
Mr.. M. J. Straus moved that the committee on
site be merged into nittee subscriptions and
soon as SIS 900 is pledged on the line suggested
by Mr.. Hutzler the lot be purchased
This brought forth protest from Mr.. Louis
Nachman who insisted he had never heard the sub
ject of temple discussed in congregation
meeting. It was only suggestion of the presidents
and the committee had been appointed between
