the full text of the local option bill
which was introduced in the General
Assembly by Hon. J. M. Lyell and
which became a law. A careful

An autopsy will be performed to-day the body
of Bennett Rodgers, forty-one years old, iron
worker, who lived in the tenement house at No
20 East Ninety-eighth-st Rodgers died yesterday
IN the Harlem Hospital, and the doctors do not
know what caused his death
The case involves accusation against a police
man Of the East ne-hundred- and -fourth-st. sta
ton. but this policemans superior officers tell of
what they think is a plot to keep the patrolman
from appearing in the Court of General Sessions
TO testify against who will be tried there on
charges OF robbery.
Rodgers lived with colored woman who saws
she was his wife, and gives her name as Mary
Rodgers. She says that on December 20 al .

man. Rodgers told his wife, she declares, that the
policeman abused him. first verbally, then struck
him with his fist and then with his club, and left
him lying in the hallway.
Rodgers got worse. On January 10 his wife went

EVERETT MOORE CREDITORS MEET
EXPRESS DESIRE TO STAND BY SYNDICATE
FAVOR A HOLDING COMPANY

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. PA large majority in
amount Of the creditors of the Federal Telephone
Company, owned and controlled by the Everett
Moore syndicate, were in session all day here to-
day. Most of the conference was taken up in dis
cussion of various proposals for the purchase Of
the entire property.
Creditors have expressed a desire to stand by
syndicate, and, if possible assist it in keeping
the property under its control. They favor the
depositng Of all the stocks and bonds of the con-
stituent companies owned by the Federal Telephone
Company in big trunk company to be used
as collateral security for issue of bonds.
these bonds 10 be accepted payment for the
claims held by the creditors, and thus enable the
81 Indicate to go with the operation of the COM
pany and keep il under its control. If the plan
goes through il will furnish ready money to finish
uncompeted plants principally at Detroit and
Dayton.
The bankers committee has had one bona fide
offer for the sale of the entire Federal system, the
offer coming. it is said. from the Bell Telephone
the city. The committee will probably not consider
this offer. Tentative offers have been made by
Morse, also of New-York. An offer from John R.
Mclean, of Cincinnati, has been received. 1t Is
probable that a fourth bidder will be in the field
within a few days. None of these deals can go
through until the plans of the bankers committee
become operative. In addition, it is positively
stated that there is now chance for the sale of
the properties at upset price.
Members of the committee feel confident
than ever that the securities will be kept up to
the situation in regard to the traction companies in
which the syndicate has a controlling interest is
very favorable and that none of them will be sold.
-Four or fVe companies IN which the syndicate is
interested but in which 1t does not hold the con-
trolling interest, may be sold:
The bankers committee will resume it's session
cleared that II will probably be unnecessary to hold
ssnore than tri or semi weekly sessions henceforth

SHEEHAN'S DRASTIC RAIDS.

ARRESTS. TAKEN TO RID TENDERLOIN
OF DIsoRDERLY HoUsEs-RETI-

OF DIsORDERLY HoUSES-RETI-
CENcE ABOUT FACTS.
Detectives of the Tenderloin have begun a
crusade against disorderly women and against
some Of the alleged disorderly houses in the dis
trict. From what could be learned last night.
Captain Sheehan, the new commander, has re-
sorted to drastic methods in his attempt to rid
the precinct of women of questionable character.
Detectives Buckridge and McEvoy. IT is said.
made the first move in the latest method adopt
ed to drive these women from the Tenderloin.
About l a. m. yesterday they went, it is said.
to two houses in West Thirty-frst-st., near and
west Of Sixth-ave.. and drove the women in
mates into the street In house, the one
nearest Sixth-ave., the door was not open at the
bidding Of the detectives. 1t is alleged that
they broke the door down and rushed in driv-
ing the women out. Then the detectives went
TO Thirty-second-st.. where they went into three
houses TWO close together, and one Sew
enth-ave. Nearly of were
hustled out of these three places, it is said.
The women thinly clad. They wore for
the most part silk wrappers. cut low at the neck
and not long at the bottom
The women were terrified and panicstricken
when the detectives entered the houses. They
needed little urging to go. as according to a
geants statement to be arrested as an inmate
OF disorderly house means, in case of convic-
ton, more of punishment than to be arrested
outside. They fed precipitately from the houses
lnto the cold and raw wind. The streets
icy and slippery.
Many OF the women ran to saloons and
Laurants One or two sought refuge the
Iwenty-eighth-st. station of the Sixth-ave. ele-
waited road. where they were permitted, il is
SAID, to remain in hiding for a time. From five
10 SIX women, II is said, were thus driven out
OF each OF the five houses. They all succeeded
after a time in getting word to their friends,
VINO supplied them with clothing of a proper
nature and warmth to allow them to appear in
the streets. Then they made such shift they
could for the rest OF the night.
There was much retcence at the police station
last night concerning the crusade. Captain
Sheehan could not be found. Sergeant Todd,
who was at the desk, admitted that such dras-
tic course had been adopted to rid the precinct
OF alleged disorderly houses. He said it was
impossible to obtain such evidence against these
houses as would warrant arresting the women.
and that it had been determined that they
should be driven from the district. He said he
knew none of the details of the movement.
Patrolmen post in the neighborhood of the
invaded houses said il true that such inva-
sions had been made. but declared they knew
nothing beyond that the women had been driven
out by the two detectives.
In each case, il said, the house closed
tight after the women had been sent scurrying
out. The gas turned out, the blinds
drawn and the doors locked after the detectives.
La ST night the houses showed no signs of life.
