Courtesy of the Room,
Capt. Price Called on to Explain
Some Shady transactions Re-
SardinE Il Vase.

NEW YORK, June 6.-The assembly COM
mittee appointed to invest alleged irregu-
laritieS in the government of New York
city resumed its sessions today. Mr.. Hen
derson counsel for Police Captain Price
was refused admittance to the committees S
room by a doorkeeper, who said he was
acting under orders from the committee
At the opening Of the session Chairman
Mazet made a statement to the effect that
the committee believed that privileges rem
dered by it to private counsel have been
grossly and shamefuly abused, and that
the committee had decided not to permit
counsel representing persons under exami-
nation to participate in the examination.
Mr.. Mazet added that any individual who
might feel himself unjustly accused or in
jured by any testimony, should have an op-
portunlty to request a hearing of the COM
mittee, in order to contradict any testimony
that he may claim is untrue.
Jacob ID. Wooley, a dealer in oriental
curios, was the first witness. He said that
some years ago he missed goods from his
store and complained to the 3Oth street sta
ton house about it. Detectives We're sent
to him, among them, he thought. the pres
ent police captain, Price. Later a man
came to his store and tried TO sell him for
81 pawn ticket on vase. He Went to
the paWnshOp, saw that the vase was not
one of his, but notified the police that he
thought it had been stolen from some one
else The value of the vase, he said, was at
least $40. He saw the same vase afterward
at another oriental goods store and he
asked the proprietor of that store where
he had obtained it. The witness said the
reply was that Captain Price had left it,
after trying to sell it,
Answering question by Mr.. Moss the
witness said he had taken Captain Price to
the pawnshop and had showed him the
vase, telling him he thought 1T had been
stolen.
Captain Price was here allowed to make
statement He said that the felony book
would show that he had arrested man
for stealing this particular vase; that the
man was convicted and sent to the peniten-
tiary for one year. Captain Price said he
thought that the pawnbroker's book would
show that the vase had been sold as un-
claimed property. CORRECTING himself
Captain Price said that it was a plate and
not vase to which Mr.. Wooley had drawn
his attention.
Mr. Wooley denied this, conteading that

GOV. TANNER is AROUSED
He Will Take Active Measures to SUPPRESS
tuberculosis,
He Was Amazed to Learn the E.tcu,
of the Disease Among
Illinois Cattle.

CHICAGO. June 6.-After the post-mor-
TEN examination of the tuberculosis COW :
Killed at the stock yards. Gov Tanner said
Il am convinced that tuberculosis has
made more general invasion of live stock
than is generally believed, and | am also
confident that such condition, if not rem
edted by proper laws and a liberal appro-
priation by the state. will have results more
serious than the mere loss OF cattle.
Il shall recommend at the next meeting
of the legislature that the state board Of
live stock commissioners be given an ap-
preparation of at least S5o,Oo0. with author
ity to carry on the work of exterminating
tuberculosis cattle. ! also shall exert my
influence in obtaining for the commission
erS more authority.
The appropriation this year for this
work was 5000. The commissioners asked
for $4,000. | myself was Instrumental I'm
cutting down the sum requested. Having
seen conditions as they exist, ! shall take
q personal interest in the matter and spare
all necessary time in aiding the board
whose work is, to say the least, practically
humanitarian.
My observations lead me to believe ihat
it Is unsafe to drink milk which is not
known positively TO be non-tubarculosis
The cattle which | have seen slaughtered
and GisSected today and which / saw were
saturated with tuberculosis ten days aEo
were furnishing milk to my family. | am
glad my eyes have been opened. The re-
cent awakening of public interest on the
subject will have practical results"
In view of the encourage mcnt given the
commissioners by Gov. Tanner TIC live
stock board held a meeting at the Great
Northern Hotel and adopted plans for the
summers work. New rules Were adopted
in accordance with the advice given by the
governor that the commissioners utilize Is
vigorously as possible all the authority
given them under the present law. The live
stock commissioners today started on a
tour of inspection of dairies in A1cifenry
county.
