Members of the South End Repub-

hall at 1877 washington street last
night gasped for breath when during
the course OF a talk by Trustee John
Z. Sears. a colored man named L. Cald-
well, one OF the members OF the col
ored republican club. interrupted the
speaker by saying that there were two
employees of the town In that hall with
in his hearing to whom he had paid
bribe money for the privilege of run
ming a crap game.
The charges were so barefaced and
startling that for an instant scarcely a
sound was heard. Later, however,
many in the crowd demanded that the
man be named, and while scores were
yelling name him. Trustee Sears was
struggling to be heard In his own de-
Tense, and Police Sergeant Charles Ca
tsy, taking the matter personally, de-
manded that the colored man make a
full statement.
After the seething torrent had sub
sided to a certain extent so that Mr.
Sears could be heard, he said that he
was glad the remark was made.
