MAzEr COMMITTEE TROUBLES.
The Premature Publication OF the
Report of Counsel Moss.


NEW YORK. Dec. 26.-The publication
of the report made by Frank Moss of coun-
sci to the Mazet Investigating Committee.
to Chairman Mazet seems to have angered
everybody who is officially connected with
the committee. There was trouble in the
committee before Mr. Moss report was
Published II will be remembered the pub.
lie hearings of the committee were sus-
pended without warning when Mr.. Moss in
formed its members that he intended to
summon as witness Senator Thomas c.
Platt. The members of the committee were
angry at Mr.. Moss at that time They de-
cided however, to prepare a report for the
Legislature and they instructed Mr. Moss
10 make for them a summary Of the testi-
mony which had been taken, together with
such suggestions Cor charter amendments
as had occurred to him during the inyesu-
cation.
II was the intention of the committee
that this report by Mr.. Moss should be in
the nature of a privileged communication
from counsel TO client 1t was not intended
that 1t should be made public II was sup
posed that this report would be typewrit-
ten Instead OF that ii was printed in pam
phieL form, and in some manner which Mr.
Moss says Is unaccountable to him. it be
came public before it had been received by
the committeeman. The report was signed
by Mr. Moss and by Francis z. Laimbeer.
Mr. Laimbeer is not of counsel for the
committee He has been assistant TO Mr..
Moss The report was not signed by John
Proctor Clarke, who is of counsel for the
committee. The committee met on Friday
afternoon. and, according 70 Mr. Moss,
Chairman MaZet and Mr.. Laimbeer had a
talk about RIr. Moss report. ! was de-
cided by them that the report should be
mailed to the members of the committee
on Saturday night. Mr. Moss says that this
was done Mr. Mszet did not receive his
coLies until this morning. In the mean
time the substance Of it had been printed
in all the newspapers, and the members OF
the committee are highly incensed thereat.
Assemblyman Wilson, one of the Repub-
liCan members of the committee, said that
| Mr. Moss report did not by any means
cmbody the views OF the committee.
Chairman MaZet said today that he was
working on a report of his own, which
would be presented to the Assembly at the
proper time He said he had not yet read
Mr. Moss report, so could not tell how the
two reports would differ.
It was the general opinion among the
! mem bers of the committee today that there
would be at least two reports to the Legis-
! lature, and very possibly more. The ma
/ jority will make one. Committeeman Hoffer
will make another for the Democrats, and
| it is quite possible that certain Republican
| statesmen who have served on the COM
mlttee will make reports on their own
hook.
