fioned as partly responsible for the recent cot
ton scandal revelations. is to be hailed before
Judge Holt in the United States District Court
in q day or so on charge Of contempt Of court
for refusing to answer questions yesterday in
an examination before Peter B. Olney, as ref
cree at No 68 william-st. The examination
had nothing to do with the cotton scandal but
was being conducted to ascertain what had be-
come of the assets of the Sarah De Faye Com
pany, of Chicago, concern which Mrs. Peck
ham managed and which did mail order bust
ness in women's clothing before it failed.

have to certify you ia contempt before me, and
hale you into the United States District Court
where the judge may send you to jail"
sfYou take me to court replied Mrs
Peckham. but shall refuse in court just as

Some of the questions she refused to answer
related to the business of the De Faye company
in Broadway, in this city, which Mr.. Marks
declared was managed by the same persons who
ran the concern in Chicago. She also refused
TO tell if she knew I. c. Van Ripper, although
Mr. Marks asserted that Van Ripper the
hacker Of the De Faye companies: When Mr..
Olney renewed his threat to hale her to court
for contempt, she laughed and said
"Oh, I'm not bit afraid. You have no right
90 ask those questions and I'll never an
swer them, Jail Jail"
Mr.. Olney adjourned the hearing to October
u by which time it is expected Mrs. Peckham

answer the questions. will have been sent to
Sau for contempt. Mrs. Peck1am said she had
INTENDED sailing for Europe next Tuesday, but
she would stay and Eight it out in court"

JEWISH NEW YEAR OPENS.
Halls of Various Kinds UTILISED as
Places of Worshp.

Every Jewish house of worship in New-York
was crowded to its utmost capacity last night.
when the first OF the new year services were
celebrated. The feast of the new year began at
sunset. 1t is the most important of the Jewish
holidays with the exception of the Day OF
Atonement which is observed on the tenth Gay
of the new year
There are thousands Of Jews who are indif-
ferent as to the ordinary holidays and festivals,
who are not affiliated with any congregation
but wish to observe the new year festival and
consequently the synagogues and temples are not
large enough for the demands made upon them'
In the crowded East Side district and in that
part of Harlem which has large Jewish popu-
lation. many dance halls, lecture rooms and
lodge rooms were transformed into temporary
synagogues fer the accommodation of what are
known as holiday Jews" and people from the
rural districts where there are no Jewish houses
of worship.
On the East Side work was suspended early
in the afternoon. and the vendors VINO hao
fancy new years cards containing greetings IN
Hebrew did thriving business After the even
ing services visits were made to friends ana
neighbOrs and good wishes exchanged, mere
will be services in all the orthodox congrega-
lions to-day and tomorrow AL the Tempe
Emanu-E and the other reformed Synagogues
there were impressive services last night, and
these will be continued to-day. But In these
congregations the year festival ends thls
evening and is not continued second day.
The year which began last night Will be
known in the Jewish calendar as 0660 Ac-
cording to the published calendar 1t Will be
"a complete common year of twelve months

FEARS RAILROAD TRICKS
Ex-senator Chandler Warns Inter-
state Commerce Commission

Concord, N. H, Sept. 29.-In a series of omen
letters to Edward A. MoseIey of the Interstate
Commerce Commission ex-senator William E.
Chandler of New-Hampsbire. defines his atti-
tude toward the Esch-Townsend rate legislation
bill, to come before Congress at its next session
and calls 20 the attention of the commission
some of the dangers that beset the attempts to
pass this bill, they appear to him
Mr. Chandler lays great stress upon the atti-
tude of the railroad companies. and saws the
methods of defeating the measure to be nut
forward next winter will be by dangerous
amendments additions to the Esch-Town-
send bill under the guise of friendly improve
ments, but really as railroad tricks"
Mr.. Chandler says further: You cannot rea-
sonably expect that a law can be passed
through both houses Of Congress which shall
make a reasonable transportation rate fixed by
the commission to take effect Immediately and
remain in force until reversed by the court of
review, when Samuel Spencer, in behalf of the
railroads, has announced that they will not per
nit either OF two things"
These two things Mr.. Chandler charges are
the giving of power to the commission to SUBJ
stitute in particular case rate or price which
in their judgment is just or reasonable in the
place OF one judged by them to be unjust or
unreasonable and the enactment Of statutes
which provide that q rate OF transportation once
fixed by any authority shall remain perpetualIy
in force thereafter, until changed by commits
sion by court"
Mr. Chandler further charges that $1,000
000000 Of capital. representing 10000 miles of
railroad, is arrayed against the President in
his attempt TO pass rate legislation. He also
charges that by furnishing free TRANSFORMATION

ures, Congress and the whole state and ma
tonal government Mr.. Chandler asserts that
lawyers ministers of the gospel and newspapers
are especially cared for by the railroads. not
withstanding that the system is grossly illegal

Commissioner MoAdoo also said:
The most notifying thing in connection with this
