The Citizens Union says that the dumping Of
ashes at the dumping boards controlled by the
Murphy Ganney combination and by Mrs. Sher-
idan is in violation Of law forbiddng the dump
ing OF garbage ashes refuse the water
front of any public park above 59th-st. The
West End Association, composed of taxpayers
asserts that under the statute of 1888 the park
waterfront cannot be used for dumping ashes
above 59th-st. The Law Department. on the
contrary, holds that the waterfront at 10Th
Goth and 9th SITS. is not within the domain OF
Riverside Park but comes under the supervision
of the Department of Docks and Ferries. This
view of the situation enables the New-Yorl1

COSTS CITY $16,472.
Murphy Gets This Yearly for Piers
Rented to Him for $4,000.

The Citizens Unions bureau Of city bet
terment published a statement yesterday Charg
ing that the Street Cleaning Department has
paid the New-York Contracting and Trucking
Company $16.472 As for one years of dump
ing boards for which the company pays the city
only $500 a year.
Three four years ago The Tribune made
disclosures concerning the administration of the
Dock Department under Mayor Van Wyck and
]. Sergeant Cram while Charles f. Murphy
treasurer of the board. which brought about the
indictment of people in the Murphy contracting
firm. After a fight in the courts the indictments
were quashed. 1t was charged at that time that
the Murphy-Gaffney combination making
large profits because of the ability of the firm to
get favors from the Dock Department. Within
the last three months II has been proved that
Charles F. Murphy is the indorser of the Muir
phy-Gaffney company's notes to the amount of
$4,000
The Citizens Union now finds that the Street
Cleaning Department has been paying large
sums to the Murphy-Gaffney company for the
use Of piers rented TO the Murphy interests at
sbsurdy low rates. This is the way the Murphy
company has been getting city money:

Insurance Question.

The presidents message, which
caused a seven-day discussion in the
house, preceding the holiday recess,
was disposed Of in 20 minutes at the
beginning of the session.
The particular question which was
the cause Of contention-which com
miJtee should get the insurance ques-
tion-was temporarily settled by the
adoption OF an amendment offered by
Mr.. Hepburn, providing for an exprcE.
sion of opinion by the judiciary com
mittee as to the extent congress has
power to control corporations other
than railways.
The senate discussed at some length
a proposition 10 reprint a magazine
article by Senator Newlands on his OBJ
servations in the Philippines, made
while accompanying the party Of Sec
rotary Of War Taft last summer. Sen
ator Spooner asked for the privilege
and with some reluctance 1t was
agreed to.

White Pioeon Scandal.

Rev. George Il. Allen, the travelling
evangelist, who left White Pigeon sud
denly at the demand of Rev. {. II. An
derson of the NJ e. church. VINO
charged him with improper conduct
with Mrs. Anderson in the Anderson
home, was acquitted by church
trial committee after a hearing in
Wheeler behind closed doors. Mr.. Al
derson was not present, and the
charges were presented in a letter
from DR.. Barnes, presiding elder OF the
Niles district, who sent various news
paper clippings with his Endorsement
as to their truth.
Rev. Mr.. Allen gave a graphic de-
scription OF the visit of citizens to the
Anderson home when he was notified
to leave.
Il had been engaged in White Pig
con for Just two weeks" he said, "and
had heard no complaint whatever as
to my conduct until the afternoon of
Dec 90, At O'CLOCK that day Messrs.
Nortlrup, Pike and Peary, accompan-
led by Sheriff Fieldhouse and Rev. Mr..
Anderson, came 10 the house and said
they wanted to talk with me. They
called Mrs. Anderson from the kitchen
and said:
1--WE will give you two just 40 min
utes to get out of White Pigeon"
II asked what the trouble was and
they related the story told by Rev.
Mr.. Anderson.
81 asked what would be the conse.
quences If / didn't go.
"Mr. Nrothrup said, 1t is case
OF Centerville Jail and a scandal that
will ruin you all over the state If you
| don't go
REV. Mr.. Anderson said, we have
talked the matter all over and decided
| that it is best for all concerned thai
you go quietly
Then" said Allen at the trial
"they told me that there was no use
talking back, that 1t was Jail or home
for me, so | hustled and caught the
train. wrote my presiding elder a
once and he met me in st. Louis ani
/ told him the whole story"
Mrs. C. H. Anderson, wife Of Rev
c. II. Anderson, when told of the &C
quittal Of Rev. George e. Allen a
Wheeler, said it was just as she haC
expected She said the motive TO Rev
Mr.. AnderSon's charges against her
self and Mr. Allen had become appar
ent in a notice she had received of
suit for divorce Anderson had started
at Centerville She said emphaticall
that she would file a cross bill befor
the date set for a hearing, Jan. 30.
MIR. Anderson's charges agains
myself and Rev. Mr.. Allen wer
brought only for the purpose of start
ing the divorce suit" said Mrs. Andel

it would have been someone else,

have a divorce"

THE NEWlTAx LAW.

The new state tax commissioners
are to have on their hands a suit 10
test the validity of the new law under
which they are about to assess rail-
road property. IL shall begin suit by
mandamus as soon as the tax com
missioners Fix the rate for railroad
taxation, which will be on January
Is" said Attorney-General John Il.
Bird.
The ground for my suit will be that
the legislature exceeded its powers
when 1t gave the tax commission the
right to equalize between the assess
ment Of railroad properties and that
OF general properties OF the state.
ut was the purpose of all the agita-
ton leading up to the amendment or
the constitution relative to the taxa
ton of corporations, that all property
shall be assessed at cash value and
If this is done, as ii should be, there
is no reason for any equalization.
II shall begin the suit as soon as
possible, in order that we may get a
decision before the railroad taxes are
collected on the coming assessment,
which will be April IT,
Mr.. Bird said that any citizen who
might feel himself aggrleved by the
operations of the new law might begin
suit to test il.
Mr.. Birds contention that the law is
not constitutional is not new. When
the bill had been passed by the leg
islature and was awaiting action by
Gov. Warner, the encouragement
urged him not TO sign the measure
but the governor was not controlled
/ by this advice.

The Braun REPORTS.

The suppressed reports of Marcus
Braun, the special inspector who was
sent abroad TO investigate immigra-
ton, are to be sent to the house.
These reports have been most care
fully guarded by the department OF
commerce and labor. Not only has
Mr.. Braun been refused permission 10
inspect the reports he made, but 9th
er influential persons have been re-
fused even a glance at them. They
are said to show most deplorable
condition in the immigration services.
He demonstrates that not only is tho
United States getting the most unde-
sirable people Of all Europe. but that
the steamship companies are instru-
mental in bringing them to the shores
OF this country because the countries
in which they live want them deport'
ed. The Braun reports are said to be
of an exceedingly sensational charac
ter, the publication of which may in
yolve this country and Austria.

"Rlack Hand" Again.

"Black Hand" which sent threaten
ing letters to former Senator Jas. h.
Flood, Of Hart, Oceana county, and
burned his $4,000 sawmill and has
put the village into a state Of constant
terror, seems to be aiming al coterie
Of prominent citizens of that village.
Friday night the $4,000 warehouse,
managed by John Hulsted, containing
$4,000 bushels of potatoes, was fired
but being constructed OF sheet iron
and fire-proof the flames were eX
tinguished before making any head
way. The building stands east of the
village and passers-by saw the flames
Issuing from underneath.
They hurried to the scene and saw
in the dusk a man riding rapidly away
on horseback. When Floods mill was
burned a farmer named Andrus saw ;
lone horseman riding sway from th'
scene OF the fire.
