Morning Session.
The record-union., 1899-04-09

NEW YORK, April S-The seven
members of the Mazet Legislative In
vestigating Committee began their
work of prying into the records of the
Ponce Department and other local ad-
ministrative Offices to-day.
After several minor witnesses had
peen called, number of them falling
to make their appearance, Chief of Po-
nee Devery was called to the stand, and
his testimony was the most important
OF the day, as it signified the launching
Oh the attack upon the Police Depart
ment. The witness admitted that there
was a charge against him when he was
made Chief, in February, 1897. The
Chief was compelled to admit that the
charge had been held up, and then said
he had never been required to pass a
civil service examination.
Mr. Moss then sprang something of a
surprise on the witness by announcing
that he offered in evidence three
charges which had been standing
against the Chief of Police for some
time, none of which had ever been
wiped out either by dismissal or proof
of innocence. The charges were for
neglect of duty, for taking a bribe of
500, and for neglecting to close disor-
derly houses when their existence had
been brought to his attention.
Mr.. Moss then went into a detailed
list of establishments that are known
to be kept running at all hours of the
night, and asked the Chief why he
had not closed them up before Not
receiving any satisfactory answer, Mr.
Moss then asked Chief Devery why he
allowed a certain house in the upper
Broadway district to continue it's exist
ence, although there We're almost daily
complaints from persons of refinement
living in the neighborhood
The reply was that never had there
been obtained sufficient evidence to
warrant the arrest of the woman who
runs the house. There could be no po-
lice interference until proof positive was
secured
Then Mr. Moss asked the witness if
it was not because of the political in
fiuence of the woman proprietor that
the police were held back? Devery de-
MED that this was so.
The question of allowing two periodi-
Gals which circulate around the tender
loin district to continue publication was
then put to Devery. He said that these
papers had been toned down consider
ably, and that he had called the at
tention of Anthony Comstock to them.
but he was slightly mixed as to the
particular occasion on which he re-
minded Mr.. Comstock of their circula-
ton.
No other important witnesses were
examined, but Frank Crokers name
was called. He was not present.

AMERICAN PRUNEs
May Be Imported Into Germany If
First Dipped in I've.

WASHINGTON, April S-The Ger
man Embassy here calls attention to
the fact that the benefit of the recent
concession made by the German Gov
ernment in regard to the import of
American dried fruits extends also to
American prunes. if they have been
before their shipment subjected to the
lye dipping or pricking treatment
One half of the dried fruits imported

prunes have been received at Hamburg
from the United States since the pub
lication of the respective imperial de-
crees.
Under. the present regulations a Gov
ernment expert who knows the various
ways of treatment will have to examine
a few cases of each brand to convince
himself If they have been subjected to
the lye dipping or pricking treatment.
Only those prunes which have not been
subjected to either of these treatments
or where the way of treatment is not
clearly discernible will be- as hereto
fore, subject to the San Jose scale eX-
animation. The Federal frontier States

SEATTLE, April S.-According to ad-

recovered part of the stolen property.
Five or six of the Indians were tied

against the miners. The latter were
