NEW. YORK, June 1.-The sessions of
able chiefly for two points, one the turn
ing at bay of Mr.. Moss, and the other
evidence regarding the existence in this
city OF the most frightful form of deprav-
ity. Neither incident took up much time,
by far the greater part of the sessions
being devoted to the examination Of
President Fietner and Commimssioner
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.
Joseph Dillon, who is an employ of Mr..
Moss, related the circumstances of an at
tempt to serve subpoena on Police
Capt. Price this afternoon, just before the
police parade started. He testified that
Price said to him: 60 away from here,
or I will throw you overheard, you
crook"
You served that subpoena this after
noon,'' said Mr.. Moss, in a tone that sig
nified his determination to make Capt.
Price prove his accusations of yesterday.
Joel Harris, an employ of Mr.. Moss,
who was at "Paresis half last night,
was called. He related some of the hab-
its and methods of habitues of this re-
sort.
George B. Hammond, another employee
Of Mr.. Moss, also testified to the hideous
immortality that prevailed in "Paresis
hall" There was no difficulty in getting
into the place. A member of the city Wig
liant league, he had frequently visited it
and the only occasion on which he had
noticed police was when one evening
Capt Chapman came in. looked around
for several minutes and then went out.
POOR RICH MEN
Tax Commissioner Sheehy was then re-
called and subjected to an examination
of various assessments on different prop
critics.
Mr. Moss said he had observed ten
derness'' in increasing the assessments
on gambling houses and resorts
Mr. Sheehy replied that the commits
sionrs know no man in assessing real
estate"
Thomas L. Feitner, president of the tax
| board, was then called. He testified that
among his appointments were those Of a
number of relatives at large salaries.
| Mr.. Moss went into the assessment of
John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Wander
bilt J. Pierpont Morgan, Russell Sage
and George Gould. In the case of
Messrs. Rockefeller, Sage and Vanderbilt,
the record merely showed that they were
assessed in 1893 and 1899 after making no
appearance. In the case of Mr.. Morgan
1t showed that he was assessed on ST.,
600, 000 and that he consented to an as
sessment on $400, 900, after stating that he
had no property upon which he could
be assessed.
'Do you mean to say" asked Mr.. Moss,
that Mr.. Morgan swore that he was not
taxable and then volunteered to pay on
$40O, 0007"
'"That is what I mean to say" said
Mr.. Feitner.
In the case of George Gould the record
showed that he was not assessed
Mr.. Moss asked If any effort had been
made to place him on the roll and Mr..
Feitner said that not as far as he knew.
Mr.. Feitner admitted that tremendous
amount Of injustice resulted from the
personal tax system as it existed at pres
ent.

WINONA, Mimi, June 1.-(SpeciaL)-
A dispatch received this afternoon from
New York, announces that the represent
atives of the American Mailing company
are in session in that city today to eff
feet the transfer from H. ]. O'Neill
Grain company, of this city, of it's line of
elevators.
1t seems that this deal has been under
negotiation for some little time. Not long
ago. H. ]. O'Neill known as the Barley
King of the United States, accompanied
by representatives of the American
Mailing company were in this city, look
ing over the country, and going over GER
tain lines of road reaching Winona. The
object of their visit as announced at
that time, was, with a view of establish
ing a malt house. While ostensibly that
might have been the purpose of their
visit, it is now evident that the real OBJ
ject was to look over the elevator sys-
tenn, over which they have assumed con-
troll.
These warehouses and elevators are To-
Gated on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul, Chicago & Northwestern and WI
mona & Western railroads, and are some
thirty odd in number.
While the exact amount is not publicly
stated, to effect the transfer of this ex-
tensive business, the consideration is in
the neighborhood of $780, 1000.
The mailing house, should it be erected,
would involve the expenditure of nearly
half a million dollars, 1t being intended
to take care of all the barley in the
Northwest.

PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES.

The committee on resolutions submitted
the following report. which was enthusi-
astically received and unanimously
adopted:
First-Our faith in bimetallism is vim
dicated by events. The necessity for the
restoration of the double standard was
acknowledged by the president and con-
gress in 1897, when a commission was sent
to Europe to entreat- other nations to aid
in estab lishing bimetallism, and the fail
ure Of the commission to secure European
coinage in their belief that relief can only
come by the independent action of the
United States. The spresent ratio of 16 to
/ Is the only ratio at which bimetallism
can be restored, and opposition to it Is
confined to those who misapprehend or
ignored the reasons which led three ma
tional conventions to adopt 1t. That what
ever paper money needs to be issued In
this country to supplement gold and
silver currency should be issued directly
by the government of, the United States,
without the Intervention of any bank or
corporation whatever.
Second-We favor and recommend the
adoption by the Democratic national. con
vention in 1900 of the Chicago platform Of
1886 without change.
Third-We especially favor and recon-
mend the adoption by the Democratic ma
tional convention of 1900 of the financial
plank in the Chicago platform of 1886
Fourth-We believe that the trust is the
result in large measure of the methods
that have been used among which is the
characterization of silver by which the
volume of currency has been kept below
demands of business. We favor the de-
struction of the result as well as the re-
moVal of the causes. The establishment
of Independent bimetallism at 16 to 1
would do more to cripple or to destroy
the organization and operation Of the
trust than any other single act. We favor
and recommend, therefore, the adoption
by the Democratic national convention Of
1900 of an appropriate and specific declara-
ton against the organization and eXiS-
tence Of the trust and a. promise of legis-
lative and executive action tending to
their determination. II q
Fifth-We hereby express our continued
confidence in William, Jennings Bryan,
and favor his nomination for the presi-
dency Of the United States In 1900
With a glowing eulogy President Tar
vim then introduced Hon. George Fred
Williams, of MASSACHUSETTS, who was CIV
en- the most enthusiastic reception of the
evening.
Mr. Williams said that the world had
for 1000 years been governed by tyranny,
but that the time had at last come to try
justice. In the question of selecting lead
ers for our political party said Mr.. Will
Hams, I'VE must not take into considera-
ton the desires of state, but the needs
of nation. 1t should be fully under
stood by every Democratic voter who
casts a vote in the next national election
casts it for the free coinage of silver at 10
to l. 1t is neither just nor honorable to
the party cause to nominate man who
will not stand squarely upon every plank
In it, We should even in minor elections
find out these men and use every endeay-
or to defeat them.
