l., Thomas Comans. who said he looked
after state and city complaints for the
Equitable Society, was next called. He
was formerly president of the board of
aldermen and acting mayor upon May
or Hoffman's election to the governor
ship. He has held no office since 1872.
Mr.. Comans said his employment by
the Equitable Society was arranged by
j. w. Alexander i'm 1882. He started as
an agent at $1,000 year and now re-
ceives $500. He looked after matters
that were referred to him. Mr.. Hughes
asked if he was the intermediary be-
tween the city departments and the
Equitable Society, and the witness re-
piled, whenever they required any
thing" Mr.. COmans. replying to Mr..
Hughes questions, said he is member
of Tammany Hall. The witness said he
looked after getting the assessments of
the officers of the Equitable Society re-
duccd. Among these, he said, were
Henry B. Hyde, James H. Hyde and
Gage f. Tarbell. He had never re-
ceived mony for political purposes nor
any contributions to Tammany Hall.
At this point United States Senator
Thomas c. Platt arrived and Mr.. Co.
mans was temporarily excused.
Senator Platt's entrance created a
stir in the committee room. He walked
slowly in on the arm of Robert G. Nor
ris. his counsel, and leaning heavily on
q cane He took the witness chair and
was sworn. Mr. Norris started to ad-
dress the committee but stopped upon

Senator Plat had been carried up the
stairs of the City hall to the door of
the committee room in a chair When
he was seated and sworn, Mr. Morris
said that the senator would answer all
questions freely and frankly. Cues
toned by Mr.. Hughes, Senator Platt
said that he had received contributions
more frequently from the Equitable
Society solely for the state campaign
funds and during period of at least
the last 10 years. The contributions
were of $4,000 each. He could not tell
when they commenced but they con-
tinued every year for some time. He
received no money from the Equitable
for the local campaigns for the ex-
penseS of any candidates to the Legis-
lature. The money was divided as
seemed expedient. The packages of
money. he said, were sent over to his
Office by messenger and he immedi-
ately turned them over to either the
chairman secretary or treasurer of the
state committee. They were all cash
contributions, all came by messenger
and all came voluntarily. Senator Plat
said he could not remember whether
he made q request for contributions at
the very beginning of them. They
were fixed sum of $4,000 a year.
Senator Plat said he occasionally
received contributions OF $4,000 each
from the Mutual Life Insurance Co..
and that he could not tell in what year
nor low often. These contributions
did not come annually but at different
times within the last 10 years. He
turned the money over to the state
committee. The senator said he be-
lieved that he had dealt with President
R. A. McCurdy in receiving the con-
| tributions.

Crow Shows lntelIlaenee.

1t is surprising to see the amount
of intelligence that can be shown by
a crow, but a tame bird owned by
Sherbrook Howard of Battle, Me, ex-
hibits it to a large degree.
Each morning the bird flies to its
masters bedroom window and utters
shrill cries TO awaken him, but will
never go toward the window again
during the day. Whenever hungry he
flies to the kitchen and keeps up a con
tinual squawking until fed. He re-
fuses to fly away, and so far as known
has never been more than a quarter OF
a mile from his adopted home.
A few nights ago several other
crows from neighboring fields did their
utmost to get him to fly away with
them, but, preferring the house of his
young master, Mr.. Crow refused to
stir.
