SWAMI ON BANTON'S
PAYROLL AT $2,4OO
Secrecy in District Attorneys
Appointment Of Predecessor
to Lowest Post in Office.

Edward Swami, District Attorney of
New York county until December 81,
was appointed deputy Assistant Dis
trct Attorney at a salary Of $500
year Immediately after Joab II. Banton,
his successor. had been sworn into Office,
to Clean up several cases that
were pending when the administration
changed.
The fact that Mr. Swami still was on
the public pay roll did not become known
until yesterday. when his appointment
and oath of office were found on file in
the County Clerks office. In explana-
ton of the secrecy Mr.. Banton said the
matter had been kept quiet because of
the delicacy Of appointing the former
titular head of the office to the lowest
position on the staff"
"Mr. Swami had begun several inves-
legations which nas to be carried
through to their completion" Mr. Ban
ton said. ''1e came to me and offered
TO serve without compensation. but that
could not be done, because the law
requires that the evidence be presented
to the Grand Jury by one who is on the
public payroll as a prosecuting attor-
ney. Therefore I appointed him to the
lowest position in the list--that Of Dep
uty Assistant District Attorney--which
carries with It compensation of $2,400.
These Investigations were begun
while was on vacation. vacation that
Mr.. Swami insisted upon my taking after
the campaign. I was away four weeks
at the time. Mr.. Swami had all of this
work in hand, and 1t would have meant
a great loss Of time to turn 1t over to
another assistant. Mr.. Swami Is gen.
tleman of the highest order and lent me
every assistance in the latter days Of
his administration
Mr.. Swami, at his home In Park Ridge.
N. j., said there was no intention of
secrecy on his part. He corroborated
Mr.. Banton's declaration that he had
offered his services without compensa-
tion and that the only way he could rem
der the services was to become Deputy
Assistant District Attorney.
will your appointment to office on
January 1 preserve the continuity of
your public service and your right to
participate In the municipal pension and
insurance." he was asked.
Leave that out of your head" he re-
piled. Pensions and insurance do not
figure in my appointment at all. Don't
let that bother you one minute"
Tho question was predicated on
provision in the pension and insurance
laws under which. 1t is said, Mr.. Swami
by serving in some city job for two
months and ten days could retire on
pension of $4,000 for life. The pension
would be urteen-seventeenths of his
salary. the aggregate of which for his
fourteen years of service as Judge and
District Attorney is $222,0 900.

Held in Cuba.

With everything in readiness and
store of provisions in the hold, one
bright May morning the lines were
loosed and the vessel set sail down
the turbid Mississippi New Orleans
was reached without incident, but
here Capt. Vance committed an act
of which no sailor should have been
guilty. With a renewed supply of
provisions he put TO sea, jauntily ig-
custom house and obtaining the ne
cessary clearance papers which every
captain not practically inclined is ex-
pected to have.
AT that day Cuba belonged to Spain
and the home government maintained
vigilant watch against filbustering
expeditions which were wont to de-
part surreptiously from the adjoining
seaports of the United States con-
trary to the peace and we'll being of
that delectable islands Herein our
Wisconsin mariners came to grief,
for while cruising along the coast of
Cuba, anXiously seeking some inlet
where they might land and renew
their supply of fresh water, Spanish
gun-bOat hove in sight. A boarding
party soon paid~a visit to the schoon-
er, and in the suspicious absence of
all legal papers seized vessel and car
go as contraband.
Here, apparently, was the end Of
the voyage so auspiciously begun
upon lead wagon at Mineral Point;
but no true Yankee ever acknow-
lodged the authority of a Spaniard,
and our Wisconsin marines proved
worthy of the best American tradi-
ton. They pretended to accept with
resignation the seizure, and a prize
crew was installed to conduct the
schooner to the nearest port. At
dusk the majority of the Spanish.
sailors went ashore for a carousal,
leaving as a guard three armed mar

preconcerted signal fell upon the
sleepy sentinels, bound and gagged
them, and silently sailed out of the
| harbor. In the morning, with the
| coast still in sight, the marines were
bundled into the ships boat and set
adrift to make their way back to
their comrades.
Coming to the coast of Mexico,
while lowering around uncertain how
to make port, the action of the
schooner aroused the suspicion of the
authorities, and it was again seized,
this time by Mexican coast guard.
| The captors deemed it sufficient to
| tie the little vessel alongside a gun
| boat for security, but the Americans,
made bold by their previous exper-
fence, again took French leave and
put to sea. They were not pursued,
and in due time the three sailors en-
| tered the mouth of the Nicaragua
| river. Here they encountered
Spanish trader, to whom they sold
their schooner for 1000, and MAX
| ing their way across the isthmus took
ship for San Francisco
