Tammany Hall used to be by executive
committee elected by the people Of the assembly dis
tricts but by stroke OF his pen Mr.. Murphy has
had that knocked out and now Murphy can say
who shall and who shall not be member of that
committee. To-day, if the leader decides that the
man whom the people have elected does not suit
him he put him aside. That resolution that
Murphy introduced at the meeting Of the general
committee a short time not directed at
Devery any more than It directed at any
other leader. Devery was a friend of Carroll and
that resolution notice to Carrolls friends to
play ball with Murphy. Murphy has made Tam

be broken They shattered now The leaders
that control Tammany are money making
crowd and not who get out the vote. We

JEROME TO Alb ICE MEN
MAINE CLUB FOR TRUST.
District AHorney WI -Ask City
authorities to GiUe Pier.

In answer TO a request made by a committee
of East Side ice dealers. which called at his Of
fee Yesterday afternoon and asked his help to
rrevent what they look upon combination
to raise the price OF ice, District Attorney Je-
rome last night addressed the ice dealers of the
East Side in New Starlight Hall, No. 143 Suf-
folk-st.
julius Lessler presided at the meeting.
Mr.. Jerome began by explaining that personal
ly he was not interested in the price of ice' be
cause he could afford to pay any price the deal
ers asked but that, living the East Side, he
recognized that ice was a necessity and that the
poor of the district must suffer If the price was
increased.
II understand perfectly the position, Mr.
Jerome continued. You find the prices doubled
at the ice bridges and you have 70 ask your
customers more for the ice you sell them. 1t
looks as If the dealers are trying TO take ad-
vantage of the necessities of the hot weather
If any one thinks he do that successfully
in New-York City let him try it on. It is no
crime and I as District Attorney cannot cause
him to be punished for it. But while officially
I can do nothing because the American Ice
Company has committed no crime in raising the
price Of its Ice a citizen l am willing TO
go the limit to help you. You go and see the
ice people and tell them if they will sell you ice
at a price that you can resell it and make your
profit, then you will buy it from them II they
do not meet you, come to me, and VIII go
with you to the city government and Will PICK
out some big dealer in Maine and see II by
offering him docking privileges he can sell ice
at rate that the poor can afford to pay
say I will go with your committee to the city
government and we will find out If in the
shadow Of the approaching election they will
not be willing to do what they can.
Willis A. Winny, an Independent "holeSale
dealer in ice, was present at the meeting by
invitation, and at Mr. Jerome's request he spoke
of the business from the wholesalers point or
view He said the increase IN the price was
reasonable, and at s. u ton the wholesalers
could make no profit. Replying to questions
from the District Attorney, he said the AInerl-
can Ice Company had a good deal 10 do with
fixing the price at which the product should
be sold He said he would have TO meet any
cut in the price made by the company, and that
he did not believe the Maine ice dealers could
deliver ice in New-YoCk at the bridges at -
ton and make q fair profit
Chairman Lessler appointed Samuel Gore, j.
Landman, J. Firestein and L. Norris as a com
rnittee to open negotiations with the wholesale
dealers.
