CALLS CLERGY AND
/ JUDGES GRAFTERS
Unjust to Blame All on Tam
many Hall, Raymond Fos-.
dick Says.

The big grafters of New York are
not the politicians, but business men,
even clergymen and judges, accord
ing to Raymond F. Fosdick, sformer
commissioner Of accounts in that city.
who made an address before the Mems
Bible Class in the First Baptist
Church of Montclair yesterday after
oon His subject was Whats
! Wrong in New York;"
Mr.. Fosdick said it had become the
general habit to blame all the graft
upon Tammany Hall, but that this
was unjust. He cited instances in his
experience as commissioner of ac-
GUN to show that the principal
grafters were men Of prominence and
respectable repute.
He d~iscoyered an incident which, he
said, had never been made public, and
In connection with which he mem
toned the name of a prominent New
York merchant. He said this mer-
chant was Interested in a ferry line
which had agreed TO "a the city half
of its earnings over and above a
stipulated amount.
~ 4 10000 Due City.
When the time for paying this
money arrived, the merchant went to
Mr.. Fosdick's office and stated, &C
cording to the speaker, that $1,000 was
due TO the city. He also suggested
that Mr.. Fosdick be his guest on a
trip and showed the greatest personal
cordially.
When the examination of the &C
counts OF the ferry company was
made. the commissioner said. he found
SAC, 900, instead of $1,000, was due the
city.
The speaker also referred to the
case Of a minister who came to his
office, congratulated him on his work
/ and then asked for an easy job for a
worthless son.
Judge Head of Loan Sharks.
y A Connecticut judge, he declared,
was head of q loan shark estab-
lishment in New York, charging 200
per cent. interest to poor people. Mr..
Whitman is seeking evidence with
intent to have the judge indicted, ac-
cording to Mr.. Fosdick. Two hum
bred million dollars a year is being
lent at excessive rates in New York,
the speaker said.
Another alleged investor in o
shark enterprises, Mr.. Fosdick stated,
Is a deacon of a church in Bingham
ton. who, when a process server caiieo
to summon him TO court, asked the
man to wait until family prayers
were over. This man is under indict-
ment.
The brief address, in which Mr.
Fosdick mentioned several prominent
Sffanes, made a stir j n the small audi
5ehce.

 Forty seven of the ninety five fin the all cotton class pay 33 tiO ter cent high {, CT duties under the Payne AId-Ich than they did under the Dinglpy tariff.

This is the clique of New England manufacturer politicians who were permitted by Sen ator Nelson W AIdrich to write the cotton schedule to suit themselves

 The remaining thirty eight classes of all cotton fabrics on which the duty was increased were not generally the product of the favored New England ring Under the DingIey mw these thirty eight fabrIrs were assessed an average duty of 35.36 per cent finder the Payne AIdrich law they pay 44.5S per cent-a revision upward equal to 26.OT per cent of the former rate as compared with 64 .97; per cent increase on manufactures of the favored few.
 On just three among the 100 samples was there decrease in duty These. were the silk and cotton fabrics ,SiIk milisI that pay more than lOO per cent duty. On these three samples the re duction averaged 566 per cent on the former duty-a reduction from l16 70 per cent under the Dingley law to 1lO A per cent under the Payne Al drich law.

 He didn't have any bother whatever in getting introduced to her. Fact is, there wasn't any introduction.
 She was being chaperoned by her aunt, but the chaperon didn't figure at all.
