DEVERY'S 9Th HOLDS UP $500.
WHEN BIG BILL IS RECOGNIZED
TAMMANY'LL GET 1T.

Then He Says He Means to Find Out
what's Done With the $500 Levied on
Each Assembly District-Maybe He'll
Ask the Court 70 Find Out for Him.
In letter to Leader Murphy Of Tam
many Hall the other day Chairman Stewart
Of Big Bill Deverys general committee
Of tho Ninth Assembly district asked what
the assessment Of the committee to the
general organization would be for this year.
Last night at meeting Of the general COM
mittee the answer was read.
Mr.. Murphy directs me to eay.' wrote
Secretary Smith from the Wigwam, that
the assessment Of each Assembly district
is $500
The letter was 30 couched as not TO reoog-
nize Devery as leader. as Tammany has
taken an appeal from the order Of Justice
Leventritt directing Tammany to reoog-
nize Devery's committeeman and their
rights to choose their own executive
member.
Thereupon Devery offered a resolution
which wound up as follows:
Whereas, There has been no meeting Of the
general or executive committees OF Tammany
Hall SO far this year; and
Whereas The chairman OF the finance DOM
mittee. who according to precedent, 10 the
the affairs Of Tammany Hall has not been
appointed or elected: and
Whereas. There has been held no meeting
Of Tsmmany Hall for organization: there
Resoired, That the chairman Of this COM
Charles +. Murphy and inform him that the
committee 10 and has been willing ever since
Jan; to pay our assessment to the Tammany
Hall organization just as soon as we are
regularly recognized by whoever has the
power TO do 30. without an order OF the court
We may be in court again some day
said Devery, "to find out IL the other thirty
four districts made good on their assess
ments and what's been done with the ooin.
We may ask to see a record Of the dis
bursements and what's the balance on
hand, 30 that If we ever need a little loan
we'll know there's money over in Four
teenth street TO discount a note
We're dom pretty we'll in this district.
/ don't know Of any laborin' men that
haven't work. That's more than some
OF our friends can say, more than the big
leader over in Fourteenth street can say,
more than some Of 'em can say who've
had little piece OF the subway or some
graft on the docks. An we haven't put
no alien labor in the jobs either."
Committees on divers subjects wereap-
pointed Bob Nelson, once known as the
Tenderloin bondsman, was put on the
Finance Committee. Chairman Stewart an
nounced that he wouldn't appoint the
usual committee on patronage for while.
Devery grinned. -It'll be easy to get
the committee when We get use for IT,
said he.
Frank Terrell, the negro politician, was
invited TO talk. In discussing the municipal
adninist ration he said:
Il know Mayor Low. knew him when
he an Bishop Potter went round 'judioatin'
the laboh troubles. They always settled
in the interest of capital, but gave laboh
slap on the back and godspeed.'
Devery Is negotiating for a clubhouse
in Twenty sixth street near Eighth avenue
70 that his men may have a whole house to
themselves.

DEvERY,S SCRAP BOOKS.

Capt Miles O'Reilly OF the Tenderloin IL

scrap books which Big Bill Devery has been
collecting throughout his somewhat tumul-
tlous career, and which are now completed
right up to his recent troubles With Leader
Murphy Of Tammany Hall over his stand
ing in the organization.
Folks who do not know Devsry may
think that the lampooning he has received
for years all over the country has worried
him. They were never more mistaken in
their lives. Devery has enjoyed being
roasted and fairly revels In the cartoons
that have been made Of him.

Their friendship began in a peculiar way.
The artist made a series Of newspaper

over the country. Never had Devery been

this man Devery was introduced to the
artist one day. and far from finding fault
with the pictures, congratulated him.

iT BROUGHT BACK Old TINES
Major Bick eihauer's War Memory Jogged
by Boys In . Snow Battle.

Il never should have thought, myself,
said Prof. Won Joggleby, -of any likeness

dren, but an old soldier friend OF mine
| Major Bickelhauer, says that what he saw
from my study window OF some children
| at play reminded him Of war, very strongly
MY study window, a. you may remember
| looks out over an extensive range Of back
yards. On the day OF Major Bickelhauer's
| visit. there being snow on the ground, the
| children Of some OF the different families
were gayly snowballng one another.
1T was one particular SNOWFALL that,
rising in a high curve and coming down
toward us first reminded the Major Of his
| war time experiences. and from that on he
saw in this SNOWFALL contest nothing hut
war. That SNOWFALL soaring high. thrown
by somebody out OF sight back Of one OF the
fences. reminded him for all the world, he
said. of a mortar shell sailing up from a
mortar behind some more or less distant
battery.
But not all the snow balls fired here
came from mortar batteries concealed be-
! hind fences. There were some with a
very fiat trajectory, indeed, fired from
rifed guns represented by youths who
| stood on the fences or on the top timber OF
the frame Of the fence near the top, and
| fred with great energy from uere; boy.
| out Of sight in the yard below, handing up
snowballs for these to throw, just, the
Major said as you might bring cartridges
| and shell out OF the magazine OF an earth
| work to the men on the guns in the battery.
And twice In quick succession one OF
the gunners standing on the fence top here
| enthusiastically caught-shells thrown at
| him from the opposing battery, and threw
| them back This pleased the Major very
much He said he had never seen In war
| shells caught In flight like that. but he had
seen hand grenades thrown from the inside
| of an intrenchnent over among men that
! were working their way, under all manner
OF Are, up the outside picked up and thrown
| back.
| 1t was just 40 in war time, said the
! Major. In a long siege men settle down
| to work on guns and mortars Just az they
| would in any employment It's more ex-
citing than most work, to he sure, and
| there are more men hurt in II; but man 8
chances of coming out Of IL alive are pretty
| good il he takes good care OF himself
| But -
AT this very moment there was a shout
| from the SNOWFALL mortar battery. A

| fence top and IL had been promptly plugged
by a boy on this side In the gun battery
