President Hughes asked whether the
city could not borrow the money.
Mayor Taylor thought that it could
not legally.
Mr.. Currier said that if the council
has right to make a levy to help pay
for street paving, it would also seem
| that it could make levy for money to
! put this in. When the levy has been
made, the money can be anticipated.
The board does not want to force tine
parents to send their children where
they must drink bad water, and it is
a bad thing to have to haul the water.
Hold Tax Levy Down.
Mayor Taylor said that there had re-
Gently been loud cutlery against the
increased tax levy this year, and it was
desired not to increase it again.
Mr.. Currier remarked that the out
cry was just before election.
Mayor Taylor said that it would be
but short time when there will be a
circuit via Fourth street, and there will
be no dead end. The aldermen feel as
interested in the matter as the board.
Aid. Schroeder said that the council
is heartily in favor of giving the school
good water and sewerage
Mayor Taylor said that they would
do the best that they could. The mayor
and aldermen then left.
Mr.. Currier moved that Janitor Crow
ellis widow be paid his salary to June
18th, and this was carried. The board
will also pay for the extra janitor hire.

Our only consolation in this bitter hour

The Syn Otetchestva and Nasha

equally bitter.

Tending the Russian nation against the
charge of rottenness and insisting that
there is plenty of patriotism, as evil
denced by the fact that more young
officers volunteered to go out with
Admiral Rojestvensky than were
needed, nevertheless joins in the cry
for an immediate summoning of the
people, Delay will be fatal" the paper
adds. "All Russia's intelligence and
all her ability are needed to meet the
advancing crisis"
The Listok says: 1.-The war has
taught the lesson that education, good
government and freedom are always
victorious over ignorance, misrule and
despotism."
The Sviet remarks: I'VE must not
yield an inch but fight on, If not on
the sea, then on land. An ignominious
peace would reduce Russia to a second

NEW YORK, May 31.--The board of
directors of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society met today to receive the
report of the committee, headed by
Henry C. Frick.
The World this morning says the re-
port of the Frick committee, which
consists of forty-two pages of printed
matter, read to the Equitable Life di-
rectors by M. e. Ingalls,, contains the
following radical declarations:
First-It practically demands the re-
moval of President James w. Aiexan-
der, First Vice President James II.
Hyde and Second Vice President Gage
e. Tarbell.
Second-It declares that every officer
and director of the Equitable society
who profted in any way as a member
Of James II. Hyde and Associates"
syndicates must pay back into the
treasury of the society every dollar he
made at the expense of the policyhold-
ers. 1t declares that if any of these
guilty officers refuses to refund this
money the Equitable should compel
restitution by suits.
Third-1t declares that the office of
President Alexander has been managed
with laxity and should be thoroughly
reorganized.
Fourth-It charges that Vice Presi-
dent Tarbell has conducted his office
with waste and extravaganza and that
his department should be reorganized.
No charge of dishonesty is made
against Mr.. Tarbell.
Fifth-It condemns the salaries Of
S122,5QO per year to James N Hyde by
the Equitable Life and subsidiary COM
panies.
SiXth-It declares that the entire bus
mess of the life insurance department
should be thoroughly reorganized
SEVENTH declares that between
$10.OOO,00O and s2OOOO,OOO have been de-
posted in different institutions for the
personal use of certain officers of the
society.
While that part of the report was
being read dealing with sales to the
Equitable of securities in which the
directors were interested and out of
which they made large profits, there
was a painful scene, in which Jacob
H. Schiff, Cornelius N. Bliss and Henry
c. Frick were the chief actors. Schiff,
terribly excited, jumped up and inter
rupted the reading of the report by
declaring that he had committed no
illegal act by the sales of securities
his firm, Kuhn, Loeb & Co., had made
to the Equitable. He was fatty contra
dicted and censured by both Frick and
Bliss. All three of them became ex-
cited and others Joined in the uproar.

'LORENz TURNS
STATES EVIDENCE
TESTIFIES IN P0STOFFICE
FRAUD CASE
Frankly Tells How He, Machen and
Crawford Formed Plot for
Robbing the Gov
ernment
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May S1.-George E.
Lorenz of Toledo, o.. who was con-
vcted with August w. Machen and
Samuel and Diller B. Croft on charges
of conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment in connection with contracts for
furnishing supplies for the postoffice
department, today turned states evil
dence in the trial of William G.. Craw-
ford, who is charged with conspiracy.
Machen and Lorenz were indicted joint
ly with Crawford. The former pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to an addi-
tonal two years in the penitentiary,
and Lorenz was granted a severance for
trial. 1t is generally credited that
Lorenz is testifying for the govern
ment under an agreement that he shall
not be prosecuted under indictments
pending against him.
Lorenz did not spare himself in the
testimony. He declared that an agree
ment had been formed by himself,
Machen and Crawford to get contracts
to furnish letter carriers satchels to
the postoffice department, and that they
had shared in the profits. The con-
tracts were gained by reason of Ma
chen's connection with the supply di-
vision of the postofice department and
were filled by Crawford, who was the
general manager for the Postal Service
and Lock company of New York. Ac-
cording to Lorenz, he was the o-be-
tween, although there were meetings
between the three at the room of Lo-
REM when he was staying at a hotel
in this city in the early part of June,
1902
In speaking of the arrangement be-
tween the three men, Lorenz called it
subsidiary company. He was asked
by Holmes Conrad, special counsel for
the government, who were meant by
subsidiary company" and he said
Machen, Crawford and himself.
According to Lorenz. he arrived in
Washington on the evening of June 8
and met Machen. The next day he
called on Crawford and spent most Of
that day and the next i'm Crawfords
office. The witness said that the even
ings of June and were spent in his
room at the hotel where he. Machen
and Crawford were in conference.

ST. PETERSBURG, May s1.-Gen.

the news of Rojestvensky's defeat had
spread throughout the army in Man
churia and that the troops were in
open revolt He points out that, under
such conditions, continuation of the
war is impossible This is the crowning
disaster in the series of calamities that
has overtaken Russia since the opening
of the war.
Russia is struck senseless. Crowds
of illiterate muzhiks surround those
who are able to read the news bulletins
in the streets, and weep while they
listen to the pitiful details of the recent
naval catastrophe.
On all sides the cry is heard that the
present regime is responsible and that
it must be cleared out. The czar is TO
longer considered. Even M. Souvorine
editor of the Novoe Vremya, demands
that the people take the helm of state
into their own hands. Admiral Alex
ieff's organ, Slovo, exclaims that Russia
has had calamities enough and demands
a change of regime that will give peace.
Rumors are spreading everywhere
today that the czar intends to resign.
Convocation of the national assembly IS
confidently expected this afternoon. The
grand dukes will hold a meeting to-
night and all the ministers and promi-
nent generals have been urgently in
vited to attend a conference at Tsar-

Leading Papers Unite In Condemna-

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, May a.-lhe
catastrophe which has overtaken the
Russian fleet has given tremendous
impetus to the demand upon Emperor
Nicholas for the immediate convocatlon
of a national assembly, without await
ing action upon the report of the Bou-
ligin rescript commission. With the
single exception of the reactionary
Sviet, the press pours out indignation
and wrath upon the bureaucracy which
Is held responsible for all the misfor-
tunes of the war. Only the Novost
and the Bourse Gazette, however, de-
clare that peace should be concluded.
The Russ, now the widest read paper
in Russia, says: "Those guilty of Rus
sia's disgrace should be overwhelmed
with shame.
1.-THE death of half a million of men,
the Russ continues, "and the loss of
millions of money is the price Of the
rejection of progress and western civili-
zation. Sebastopol struck the shackles
from the serfs and Port Arthur Muk-
den and Tsu island should free Rus
sia from the slavery of the bureau
cracy."
The Slovo, another popular paper, is
even more bitter. 1t says: Enough
Blindfolded for two years, the Russian
people have been marching to the brink
of destruction, but the bandages are
now torn from the eyes of l3O,OOO,0O0 of
Russians, and they will neither be led
nor driven over the precipice. Let the
people speak. The bureaucracy has had
it's way and has crowned its work Of
national shame and humiliation. Let

suffered In silence and who have sup
