this series on the Shame OF the Board Of Alder
men the statement was made that the MEM
Der from the Seventy-ninth Aldermanio
district broke into a bathhouse at Coney
island and stole q suit Of clothes with a watch.
Gome valuable jewelry and a pocketbook
containing Sl7 and a hat and pair OF shoes.
We have since ascertained that this was un-
true and that the gentleman referred TO Is
above reproaoh. 1t is requested that any
other publication which may have reprinted
such statement will publish this correction.
as we wish to be fair and just and accurate
throughout this series. The subject OF the
next article will be the Exempt Flremen,l
II is open treason now; methods by which
millions are stolen from the PEOPLE every
Tuesday afternoon at 1872 o'clock are
faunted before the public with such shame
less efrontery that the most hardened
critics in the Aldermanic Exposers' Gal
lery vince and with motionless fingers
rumbed by very shame write and write and
write the nauseating story.
The evidence of the treason is even
creeping into the public records OF the
board. I asked the sergeant-at-ams at
a recent. session for a printed rollcall Of
the board. The public, fools and dupes that
they are, should understand that this roll
call is printed in three coluInns-frst the
names of the traitors, the hooters who steal
billions Al | 81 O'Clock every Tuesday after
noon; in the second column are their resi-
dances or home addresses, and in the third
column is their list of business addresses.
Very good in theory, and as the PEOPLE of
Ibis city 1.-THE sucked lemonsl intended that
II should he. But what are the facts?
Let Us have the facts, even If the people,
the credulous dummies, are blind to them.
AZ the very head of this telltale list is the
name Of MCGOWAN, the president. His resi-
dance is listed as ga East Twelfth street,
aud his business address as printed on the
r~ollcall is the same-224 East Twelfth street.
What does that mean2 What do the people,
the silly asses, do about it? Nothing.
Would they vote for MCGOWAN tomorrow?
Probably. And the Interests" would cut
another notch in the great cruel knife handle
Of the cutlery trust upon which the babes
Of the masses are being impaled every
Tuesday afternoon at ] 81 o'clock. Treason!
It's a hard word, but Treasonl
II confronted with the damning evidence
of the printed rollcall the traitors would
probably sheer and laugh cynically. But
bot lis assume that some new member, some
one with at least one arm still free from the
LptltnCleS OF IHR Interests, might GTy 10
e1plai in it away by saying that there had been
typographical error. Well, then, let us
see Let us look further down that list,
TO the name OF Philip Harnischfeger OF The
B~-onx-home address 1880 Washington
avenue. business address 1850 Washington
avenue. And this man represents the tenn
iugthousands of The Bronx. Doesthe public
need more?
Alderman Brown from the Twenty-ninth :.
(Here we find a new manifestation Of the
power of the Interestsl. Browns business

minutes walk from the Office OF August
B mont. Where does Brown live2 At
81, West Forty-fourth street, only two blocks
from an express station on August Belmont's
subway. And yet the public is blind.
Suppose the welfare of the public demanded
the closing up OF the express station alto
gether or the filing in Of the subway. Can
there be any doubt as to how Alderman
Brown would vote on that question? But
this man has the effrontery to go TO his
business every day, to go to the Bard Of
Aldermen every Tuesday with head erect

There's treason in their very feet. The
roIcs Of their shoes are the willing instru-
n'ents Of the interests. Let us trace the
publications Of the Varnish Trust. Look
down with me for a moment from the
F5Hosers' Gallery upon that sodden crew.
They are tipped back in their chairs and
the feet from every district are on the
desks scraping the varnish from the cham
her furniture Of the oredulous people. Can
We blame the traitors? Not altogether.

season his desk did not need ~revarnishing
ho would appeal to his constituents in vain
for reelection.
Would any Alderman care to tell his
rrother how he voted yesterday on Special
Order l6, Introductory number 1852, which
required a four-ffths vote? That is a
matter which cannot be taken up in detail
even in this article, no matter how fearless
we are striving to be. But the reader is
referred to page tl4l of the minutes Of March
-, 1908, made special order for April 8,
1916, at 2 p. NJ. How did they vote on that?
Let the people take up the cry, let the voters
demand of their representatives how they
voted on Special Order 10!
The board almost Numbered yesterday
when Alderman Peters introduced a reso-
luton to build a municipal ice plant and
thus relieve the people from climatic CON-
ditions and monopoly extortion." But,
ali. the willy agent Of the Climate Trust was
there and the resolution, at his dictation,
vas withdrawn and emasculated by leaving
ont the unforeseen attack upon climatic
conditions" Who consented to that? Why
ask? They are all guilty. Let us ask
instead who compelled that change. Who
