Maxet COmmfttee-"ElectiOn Ex-
penscs" in Some Cases $4,000.

Judges day" at the Mazet legislative inves-
tigation committee. A number of the judges
of the city were called for the purpose of
ascertaining the opinions of the different
members Of the judiciary as to the advisa-
bility of the passage of a stringent law

action was taken, Chairman Mazet ex-
planned. at the request Of the City Club,
the Chamber of Commerce and other bod
les of a similar character.
Justice Edward Patterson, of the Appel
late division of the Supreme Court, was the
first witness of the DAY. He testified that
he paid several thousand dollars, he could
not remember exactly how much. He
thought that political parties needed money
for legitimate expenses, but that it would
be a great relief and wholesome thing if
contributions were not allowed.
Justice Gildersleeve's election expenses
were $1,000. He opposed the payment Of
large sums, but did not object to reason
able expenses being paid by judicial can
didates.
Justice Giegerich paid Tammany Hall
5000. He did not see why judicial candidates
ought to be exempt as long as political par
ties needed money.
Justice Scots expenses were s., 1856. He
thought it would be an advantage to the
public If all candidates. judicial included,
could be relieved from election expenses.
Justice Bischoff paid Tammany Hall
$4,000. He thought judicial candidates
should be exempt.
Justice McAdam said that he paid 10000
at the time of his nomination. He did not
see why judicial candidates should be ex-
erct
Justice Dugro said he paid $4,000. He
thought a law doing away with contribu-
tons would be a good thing.
Justice Fitzgerald paid 5000. He favored
a law forbidding contributions by judicial
candidates.
Justice Beach paid Richard Croker s. .O62.
He knew of no reason why a judicial cam
didate should be relieved of the payment
of legitimate election expenses. =
Justice Henry G. Beekman paid 81. 797. He
favored exemption for judicial candidates.
Justice Truax said he paid over 81 800. He
could see no harm in the payment of small
sums.
Justice Charles Mclean said that no sug-
gestion had ever been made to him to pay
a campaign contribution. He had no opin-
ion as to whether 1t would be a good thing
to abolish the system Of assessing candi-
dates for the bench.

goods as fast as received to other points and
selling them at low prices for cash. Recent
