New York Press.
The first member of the Board of Aldermen
who wants to pull the tail out of the British
lion might do so by changing the name Of
some of New York's streets. The Board of
Aldermen has the power of changing the
names of streets at it's own sweet will
This being the case, it seems strange that
the men most prominent as Tories or Roy
alists at the time of the revolution are hon.
ored by having some of the principal thor
oughfares of the city named after them.
Oliver Delaney was arrested by the liberty
boys as q traitor, yet we have four streets
recalling and perpetuating his memory-De-
lancy and Orchard streets. which ran
through the Delaney farm. and James and
Oliver streets. both complimentary to two
members of the family who were traitors
to the cause of liberty. William Bayard was
a Tory merchant and an ancestor of Thomas
Francis Bayard. Bayard and Hester streets,
which still remain such, were named after
him and his daughter. Thomas Barclay, a
traitor who fed to Nova Scotia to escape
imprisonment and execution, was a clergy
man of Trinity Church. the hotbed of tory
ism, and Barclay street still bears his name.
Lindley Murray, the Tory grammarian, has
his name perpetuated in Murray street.
John Moore was deputy collector of customs
and Moore street was named after him and
still bears his name. He was a Tory.
James Rivington was the boldeSt spoken
Tory when New York was occupied by the
British, and in furtherance of the cause Of
the King he started a newspaper and con-
tinued it until forced by Washington to sus-
pend it after the British evacuation. Riving-
ton street remains to remind people OF the
atrocities practiced by English soldiers,
mostly at the instigation and upon informal
ton supplied by Rivington. 1t due to
him that hundreds of patriots died of star
walton in the overcrowded. impromptu jails
and cellars of the North Dutch Church, in
Nassau street, afterward the postoffice and
now the site of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company, and in the other and worse pris-
ons on the Hudson river side at Eleventh
street.
Peter Warren was a brother-in-law of Riv-
ington and fully as strong in his hatred and
denunciation of patriots. He was honored
by having Warren street named after him.
Robinson and Clarkson streets were named
after two noted Tories. Robinson street is
now part Of Park place, but while that
name has gone forever, Clarkson street still
remainsi Duncan Ludlow was Supreme
Court justice of strong Tory proclivities,
who made his name odious to the patriots
but he was honored and his name preserved
by calling Ludlow street after him.

The election of Samuel j. Parks a. presi-
dent of the International Association OF
Bridge and Structural Ironworkers seems
TO be regarded by many labor leaders as
a question OF indicating Parks. But In
reality the labor union and not Parks will
be on trial at the coming convention In
Kansas City. III Parks Is put at the head
of one of the great labor organizations OF
the country. the act may fairly be inter-
preted as a fiat declaration against law
and order. Parks's character Is thoroughly
known. he has been convicted and sent 10
prison: he stands in the public eye as the
avowed champion OF blackuiail and blood
shed. III I'm spite OF all he rises TO the
presidency OF the Structural fronworkers.

man and his methods, because their dcca.

MAY INDICT ANOTHER
THE GRAND JURY WILL MEET
AGAIN THUHsDAY.
Developments In Postal Investigation
Expected in Few Days by
Department otaeials.

While there were no new developments in
the Post Office Department investigation
today, there is every reason to believe
that the department officials expect some
thing to turn up within few days.
The grand jury after an adjournment for
a week. will meet Thursday morning. 1t is
understood that this meeting will not result
in the development of anything of interest
in the matter of the Post Office Depart
ment Investigation with the possible ex-
ception of the reporting of another indict-
ment against one of the persons against
whom a true bill has already been returned.
The grand jury it is expected. will soon
report a number of indictments in cases
that have arisen in the ordinary judicial
routine of the District of Columbia.
r. c. Wright Committed.
Richard c. Wright, an employe of the
Baltimore post office. whore arrest on the
charge of robbing the mails was made a
few days ago. had a hearing yesterday be-
fore United States Commissioner Rogers
in Baltimore and was committed for the
action of the grand jury OF the United
States district court In default Of 5000
bail.
The testimony in the case, which included
an alleged confession by Wright that he
had been rifing special delivery letters
since at least August 1. was OF an interest
ing character, showing the lengths to which
the government inspectors went to weave q
net about the accused before they finally
took him into custody.
The inspectors testified to having spread
the money taken from the prisoner before
him, and to make him compare 1t with
their lists and stated that he had acknOwl-
edged TO having taken the money 80
marked. Wright had been employed as a
regular clerk since July l.. 1902. having been
"a substitute from November 1, 1901.
The prisoner was defended by Attorneys
Butler and Cummings, and Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Soper appeared for the gov
ernment. In fixing bail Commissioner Rog-
ers took the prisoner severely to- task.

GEN. PAYNE INDIGNANT.
His Name Used Without Authority in
an Advertisement. -.

an A0F8rIt80H4SuI. ---s-..-
w. M. Ostrander, real estate broker,
had a long conference with Assistant At
torney General Robb late yesterday re-
garding the formers use of the name of
Postmaster General Payne in magazine ad-
vertisements of property offered for sale
in Chicago.
The Postmaster General was quite nat
urally exercised when he saw his name
with others in the advertisements as
among those who were backing the enter
prise.
Mr.. Ostrander was summoned from his
summer home in the Adirondacks. Assist
ant Attorney General Robb said today that
the matter was adjusted satisfactorily.
. 1t seems that a number of years ago Mr..
Payne became interested with others in real
estate near Chicago. The business was ELI
tirely legitimate.
When Mr.. Payne saw his name in an ad-
vertisement with the title of Postmaster
General he felt that the company of Mr..
Ostrander, as advertising agent of the
company. was overstepping the bounds of
propriety.
Mr.. Ostrander explained to Mr.. Robb that
there was no intention of committing a
wrong. The Postmaster General showed
conclusively that hts name, as a govern
ment official, was used without his consent
and, in fact against his protest.

APPROPRIATED ROADS FUNDS.
Clerk n. 81. Taylor Makes Public His
Wron gdoipp

NEW HAVEN. Conn, August 11.-Henry
H. Taylor. who several months ago re-
l!nquished his position a clerk in the
freight office Of the New York New Haven
and Hartford railroad. after many years
service there, has issued signed state
ment to the press in which he acknowl-
edges misappropriating funds of the rail-
road. He adds, however. that the funds
have been made good to a considerable ex-
tent. Mr.. Taylor was formerly superin-
tendent of the Calvary Baptist Sunday
school and a director of the Young Mems
Christian Association, but resigned both
positions within a year.
1t is said that by altering the face value
of the accounts of the freight Office at
Belle Dock, Taylor robbed the railroad
company to the extent of 81 900. The short
age was made good by VIM. E. Morgan. the
freight agent who employed Taylor. Tay
lor is said to have since sold all his prep
erty and paid over part of the amount of
the shortage.
