HOOKER THERE.
New York State Justice Vol untarily Faces Legisla.
 tive Committee.

Albany, x. r., July 1S.-The first chance for the prosecution to examine Justice Warren E. Hooker personally came to-day when he voluntarily faced the joint legislative session. The de- fendant was called to the stand by his senior counsel, John B. Stanchfield, who first put series of questions re- garding his clients family life and ca reer. He told how in 1890 he was elected congressman at the age of 32. His congressional career dated until 1898, when he resigned to become a supreme court justice.
 Mr Stanchfleld then plunged into the matter of postotfice appointments, and the defendant told of the vast num- Der of requests that come to con. gressman.
 The witness asserted that neither he nor his wife lent a dollar directly to Frank r. Ball. Mrs Hooker, as she testified last night. went on his note only as an accommodation endorser. The position in the postOffice did not come to Ball. Justice Hooker said, un- til two years after the note was made. Justice (then congressman Hooker saw First Assistant Postmaster General Heath in regard to appointing Ball to a place in the Fredonia postoffice and subsequently, wrote to George w. Beav- CTS. chief of the division of salaries and allowances. the letter which the prose- cutjon has introduced as important evidence.

NUMBERS INCREASE.
Three Hundred More Drivers Join
 the Teamsters.

Chicago, July 1S.-After a peaceful interim the teamsters strike threaten ed to-day to cause more trouble by the walkout of 300 or more drivers for the six larger local express transfer con- panies. The question of walkout, which has been much discussed dur ing three weeks, was reduced to ''ulti- matum" form by the teamsters joint council.
 < The concerns which are confronted with the possibility of being drawn in to the struggle after avoiding the is- sue for three months are members Of the Chicago Carriage Company, which was created at the time the express owners were ordered by the court to deliver to strike bound houses.
 The carriage company is the source of trouble. Non-uniOn drivers are en- ployed on the wagons and the men are made to associate. it is asserted by the fteamsters, with union drivers.

GANGS OF TOUCHS.
Police Endeavoring to Break Up a
 Number of Them.

The police are endeavoring to break up gangs of youngsters who make a practice of congregating in certain places and indulging in all kinds of pranks to the great annoyance of people who live nearby. The officers are not anxious to make arrests but if the end in view cannot be attained in any other way arrests will follow and their parents will be up in arms against the policemen. This cannot be helped and no matter how much some may dislike it the bulk of the people will appreciate anything that may be done towards bringing about a better observance of law and or der. Children should be home under the eyes of their parents at season. able hour It would be better for themselves and pleasanter for their peighbors. If this were done very few would have fault to find with the conduct of the officers.

BAR AGAINST CATHOLICS.
President Cummings of Bay State A.
 0. H. Makes Claim.

Boston. July 1S.-Mathew Cum mings, state president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. addressed meeting of the Boston Central union at Wells Memorial hall Sunday after noon on alleged discrimination against Roman Catholics in business, in the schools and elsewhere. President Cummings said in part:
 During the past two years num- Der of complaints have been made to me that Catholic young men and wo- men were discriminated against when seeking employment. investigated and discovered that all the mercantile and school teachers agencies and some of the larger corporations use an appli- cation blank, where those who are seeking employment must state his or her name. nationality and religion. This form of application blank is used particularly when hiring help for posi- tions that require an education. found that hundreds of Catholic young men and women. native Americans, graduates of our high schools and busi- ness colleges, find it impossible to pro- cure employment after stating their name and religion on those application blanks. It is a remarkable fact that a number of business houses that have grown immensely wealthy on the pa- tronage of Catholic customers send to these agencies for Protestant help.
 What we particularly object to is that offensive question, What is your religion? in the application blank.
 About 5.O,0 pupils graduate from the schools of Boston every year: more than $500 of them are Catholics. They start out to earn a living. They apply for employment. and almost the first question asked of them is. What is your religionE' What a contrast to the ideals they have been taught in school,
 Tt may as we'll he understood now that this discrimination must stop. Let us see to it that our children get square deal and fair start in life"
