report Of William +. Weise. an expert ac-
countant. made public in Jersey City yes

Weise examined the books and vouchers
for tho bondsmen of the present collector
Stephen NJ. Egan. Jie reported that on
March 81 last there was shortage OF
s134e52 in the county funds. but that Mr.
Eyan had made good all the money due
from him. Mr.. Weise says the bonds were
ordered cancelled ten years ago, but were
sold ar hypothecated coupons were paid
seven were bought again by county money
for s7.62s. and the other five are now held
by a Jersey City bank as collateral for a
loan to George r. Hough who was Mr.. Du-
gan's bookkeeper.
The report shows Mr.. Egan covered his
shortage on May 81. a day prior to that on
which James Cameron. the expert appoint
% by Justice Swayze began the investlga-
ton asked for by the county Board of Free
holders. The shortage Of Si6.396 is charged
against the late Hugh Dugan. the immedi-
ate predecessor Of Egan. Mr.. Weise gives
a series of questions that were answered
by Mr. Egan. and the latter stated he had

difference occurred during or prior to the
incumbency of Dugan; that he directed the

by his direction Egan met Davis at the

APPROVES TERMINAL PLANS
Board of Estimate Agrees to
Changes at Grand Central.

The Board Of Estimate yesterday Tor
mallv approved the amended plans for
the changes in streets and grades IN con-
nection with the construction OF the new
Grand Central Terminal. The company re-
cclved an extension Of time OF eighteen
months from June so In which to coin
plete the work. but it promised to have
bridges over Park avenue at 18th. attn,
18th. 18th. SD and SD streets by April or
next year.
one Of the main features Of the amended
plans. at one time opposed by the officials
of the New York Central. but now agreed
to by them. is the covering over of all the
tracks between the terminal building ana
the beginning OF the Park avenue tunnel
Park avenue is to be carried around the
terminal building on an elevated structure
and will become a continuous thorough
fare. and the cross streets, also elevated
structures, will be opened.
When representatives OF the proprietors
of the Belmont and other hotels objected
TO elevating Park avenue from ioth street
in order to carry It over 42d street Bor-
oush President McAneny replied that while
It might be an inconvenience TO them they
would have to yield to the convenience or
the great majority of people and be con-
tent with the removal Of the elevated rail-
road spur in 42d street.
The amended plans provide for change
in the line Of several streets and the eX-
change of property between the city ana
the company. The board yesterday ap-
proved the financial settlement with the
company recommended by Controller Prem
dergast and the chief engineer OF the
hoard. which shows that the city owes the
comnanv p balance Of S3l5.25H

APPLAUSE FOR NEGRO CAIN
Mass Meeting Cheers Speaker
Who Defends Desperate.

Negroes held a mass meeting I'm ST.
Marks Methodist Episcopal Church in
West SD street last night to protest
against tho spirit of mob law that they
said had become a feature Of the life OF
the city Of New York.
The first two speakers struck gait
that aroused enthusiasm at the time, but
that, i'm fairness to the rest of the par
Elephants in, the proceedings, it should be
said did not properly represent the spirit
Of the occasion.
A lawyer named James l.. Curtis, the
first speaker. said that sometimes me
feels it is not such bad thing that a man
like John Cain. who recently killed ana
wounded several persons i'm the neighDor-
hood OF l0id street and Columbus avenue.
should appear in a great city like New
York.
Human nature is about the same
everywhere" said Gurus. and. after all,
we respect the man who strikes back.
He said certain politician had alleged
that the fights in Tenth avenue were al
WAYS between one white man and one
negro and not one negro against one
hundred white men, as frequently de-
cared.
But / think Brother Cain brought to
view more than one hundred white msn'
shouted Curtis. and by his manly cour-
age. even at the point of taking the life
Of his assaiant. proved that the negro
can take care of himself when victim OF
Injustice. And then the white people said
Cain must be crazy man. In other
words. a black man who will fight against
a white mob must be crazy. If that's true
| think there's going to be whole lot OF
crazy negroes on Tenth avenue AT
which the audience laughed and APP
plauded.
James -. Carr. Assistant Corporation
Counsel said The spirit of injustice is
rampant in this country. Not only is the
negro subjected to injustice from the
white man on Tenth avenue, but also from
the incumbent of the highest post of citi-
zenship. and also from the man who was
it's late incumbent"
Other speakers were inclined to treat
the subject more broadly. but even the
resolutions that were passed were rather
belligerent. After cautioning negroes
against all forms Of violence, the resolu-
tons advised them to remember "that
those whom the law cannot protect must
protect themselves"
