THE MAzET INVESTIGATION.

Alleged Payment For Police Protec-
tion That Did Not Protect,
New York, June 7.-When the Mazet
investigating committee resumed its
session yesterday the first thing done
was to declare that in the future none
of the witnesses subpoenaed to appear
before the committee should be repre- .
sented by counsel. This was followed
by the excluding from the court room
of Police Captain Prices counsel, H.
c. Henderson, who created a sensation
at the previous sitting of the commit
tee last week He was given to under
stand that If he wished to attend the
hearing it should be merely as a spec
tator. Later he was arrested on n
charge of disorderly conduct, and fur
nished $500 bail.
The committee then, in an attempt
to show corrupt practices by Police

trict, brought out from John G. Ellis.

BANK ROBBERY BY TELEPHONE.

How Two Clever Louisville Crooks
Secured Five Thousand Dollars.
Louisville, June THE German In
surance bank of this city was vic
timized out of $4,000 Monday after
noon by two we'll dressed young men
who worked a neat game. Just before
the hour for closing the bank the as
sistant cashier OF the German Insur-
ance bank was rung up by telephone
and asked If he could accommodate
the Citizens National bank with $5,-
900 in currency. On being answered in
the affirmative the lhquiring party
said he would send two men around to
get the money. Shortly afterward two
young men appeared at the bank with
a check for $4,000, bearing the sup
posed signature of the cashier of the
Citizens National bank. The assistant
cashier, suspecting nothing wrong,
counted out the money to the young
men, who were profuse in their thanks
as they accepted it. When the check
reached the clearing house yesterday
1t was discovered to be forgery.

which Germany entertained such
friendly relations as with the United
States. The proposed discussion of the
lecture also was not tolerated.

Retaliation Prosecutions.


The alleged legislative bribers, re-
Gently arrested at the instance of the
prosecuting committee of the House
of Representatives are now retaliat-
ing by causing the arrest of those
members of the legislature who testi-
fed against them, on the charge of
perjury. The first one arrested is
Hon. John Engler, of Lycoming
county, who was one of the first to
give information that attempts were
being made to bribe Democratic
members to influence their votes on
the McCarrell bill and the United
States senatorship.
Mr. Engler went before the investi-
eating committee and under oath
testified that one Costello had called
at his home on certain day and
offered him $500 to vote for the McCar-
rell bill. His testimony also impli-
Gated others, but less directly than it
did Costello. 1t is understood that
Representative Criste, of Northum-
berland, and others who testified that
they had been offered bribes will be
arrested on the charge of perjury.
1t is easy to see that this is mere
bluff and bluster, characteristic of
the political machine.
1t fortunately happens that all the
representatives who bore testimony
that they had been approached by
machine bribers are men of RESPONSE
bility and character. Mr.. Engler is
prominent business man of Lycom-
ing county, of the highest standing
in commercial and financial circles,
and the charge of perjury against
him is too transparent to give either
him or his friends the least concern.
The case against the alleged bribers
does not rest upon the evidence of a
single individual, and if there is per-
jury in the case it must have been
committed in pursuance of a conspir-
acy.
The clear conclusion is that those
who stand accused of attempts to
bribe have resolved, doubtless under
the advice of machine leaders, to re-
taliate by having the leading wit
nesses against them arrested for per
jury. Prosecutions of that descrip-
tion never have amounted to any
thing and will not in these cases.
Men like Representatives Engler
Criste and Brown have nothing to
fear from such retaliation They
have unassailable character and the
record of upright life to fall ba tex
upon, which is probably more than
can be said Of their accusers in at
least some instances.
Mr. Engler has promptly demon
strated that he is not to be intimi-
dated by such methods. He is one
Of the most important witnesses
against the alleged bribers, and he
and Representative Criste did not
even wait for the appointment of an
Investigating committee before max
ing the exposure. Being men OF
good character, mindful of the re-
sDonsibility resting upon them al
state Legislators, they deeply felt the
insult offered them. To them more
than any others is due the credit fol
the exposure of the conspiracy tC

onstrated that they are brave as wei
as honest men, and will meet thii
new attack as fearlessly and man
fully as they did the attempt 70 cor

Vienna, June 1.-THE funeral of the
late Johann Strauss, the celebrated
composer, was a great public ceremony.
the whole populace of Vienna render
ing honor to its idol. The procession
was very long, the cortege including
eight cars of flowers. The burgomas-
ter of Vienna and the municipal au-
thorities, with many distinguished
representatives of art, literature mu-
sic and drama, followed the hearse.
At the Conversatoire of Music, where
orations were delivered, and the burgo-
master made a brief address at the
temporary grave. Along the whole
route of the procession the gas lamps
we're lighted. The absence of the widow
and of Eduard Strauss. the brother of
the deceased. from the ceremony
,aused considerable comment.
