TO SEE THAT VETERANS GT JUSTICE
Commhlloner or tin . Soldiers Ballet Fund
on the Carpet for Alleged elleet
or Uul1 In R Number ot
Instances
The Board of Supervisors held I meeting
yesterday afternoon for the purpose of being
convinced thai J. J , Watts , the commissioner
oC the soldiers' relief fund or thc county , Is n
totally unlit man to have charge oC anythIng.
A lot of witnesses were summoned and called
upon for their stories , but the sum total oC
the damaging ! ; information obtained was a dis .
appointment to those who had hoped to see
him palmed a deep black . The prosecution
was carried [ 011 under line auspIces oC Abe
Lincoln post , Grand Army oC the Republic .
Limit , the well known frIend oC the soldier ,
lent his talents and his vocal chords to the
cause , and [ with the assistance or 11 . H. Fonda I
F. A. Sacket , thc other members of the com-
mlltee from the post , did ! his best to see that
eternal justice got ! ; her due .
Irs. Mary Welch , who lives at lUG Twen-
ty.rourlh avenue , was the first witness called .
She said that she went to Wats every month
during 1892 , anti always received help although .
though Walts was not as pleasant about It as
she mIght have wlshel ! In 189 she received
an $8 pension , and after that she went to him
no more ler main grievance against him
was that he always asked her so many ques-
tlonR about the ages oC her children , and thc
coffee W. lt. Bradley gave her on Watts' orders .
Iers would be composed of sticks , pea , cherry
pits and other delectable substances. This
last , however , she admitted could not exactly
be charged ! ; up against the commissioner.
Watts was always urging ! ; her to send her chill-
Iren out to work , which she positively woulll
not do unless she wanted to , and she did not
think I was any oC Walts' business .
: Mrs Mary Lance , the second witness , was
troubled with a very nebulous stale oC mind
as to the present whereabouts oC her soldier
husband ! , but rather thought he was In a sol-
diers' home somewhere. She hal ! one son
2G years or age , who tried ! railroading , but
finding It too harl ! , work , hal tried nothIng In
the work line since. She got $ : a month
from Watts for awhile , but one time Watts
turned her away , telling her that the grass
would be green pretty boon and she could live
on tlmt. "Ami I did , " she added , naively I ,
"until the grass died ! , and then I came back. "
Watts never talked very Insultingly . to her ,
but one day loll ! her not to come again
STIR lAS A MATRIMONIAL : RECORD
1\Irs. Graham , formerly Illr , hall been
married five times , and she dill not think It
necessary to gel a divorce front one oC her
former husbands ! before marrying the next
In the line oC succession John Lindt ob-
jected 10 this line of questioning . on the
ground ! ; oC Incompetency. "The law , " said
Coloney Dal ) ' , "does nol give the right to
help from the soldiers' fund ! 10 people that are
guilty oC hlgamy. She admitted just now
thai she did not know whether her rormer
husband was alive or dead , and sail ! that it was
not necessary 10 lnnow. And yet she comes In
here , a reloness , and wants to talc the bread
out or the mouths oC needy ! and deserving
women md eldltiren. "
Mr. Lnlt ! , on the contrary , hell that
moral character had nothing to Io with the
case ; the only question was , whether she
was the widow oC an honorably discharged
soldIer. I she was the proprIetress oC a
house oC ill fare she would ! be entitled to
help from thc public fund ! , and the sentiment
ot the solller ! clement would ! be In favor oC
cemenl
givIng I to her.
Judge Wadsworth hell ! thai thin witness
wlness
could not be questioned ! as to acL' oC a
criminal nature Mrs. Graham testified that
testll
during Ihe times she was receiving assist-
ance from Watts also was keeping a
"boarder , " and thai the ' 'boanler , ' her 30-
'ears-old son and her grandson , all got the
benefit or the assistance Watts ' gave her as
much as she did.
Daley fired a large volley or questions
at the witness with reference to her varIous
matrimonial cntanglements , which made an
interesting . but not very. profitable feature
oC the Investigation. She separated recently
from the man whose mane she now bears
but still more recently Graham has returned !
to herebel , and boarl ! She said Watts refused -
fused to help her the first time she went
to him , sayIng thai she did not keel a
resllectable house and that she had too many
men hanging around After December . 1892 ,
when she made the amdavll against Watts
which was Introduced In this Investigation ,
she was treated better , having receIved as-
slstanco on a number oC occasions. When
\Vatts refusal to help her , she said she commenced -
menced to cry. Watts said "Oct out oC
here with your bawling. I don'l want any
or II here. " She sat still and went on with
her lachrymose operations , and Watts rose
to his feet and told her to get out or he
world ! hick her out She got out.
1\Irs. Wiets , who lives on First avenue ,
a lady ! with a very actve tongue and a
willingness to use I , did n good deal oC
talking , but all she said was that \Valts
refused to help her when her husband was
drawIng I pension oC U a month.
Mrs. Schultz oC Tenth avenue testified
thai she went to Watts with the , papers that
showed Mrs. Riher's husband ! was a soldier
and that Watts threw the papers In her
face and wouldn't have anything to do with
them.
The tnvestgatlon will be resumed this
morning at 9 o'clock.

outlook and stating thin position' malnlalnell
by the roads ! boycotting the Union Pacific ,
so called , cold to a Bee man yesterday :
"Mr. Iomax or thin UnIon Pacific Is taking
10 hImself thin right to interchange business
01 any point on hits line . In taking off one
way tickets hD exercised his rIght to conduct .
duct his department as ho bel veil to he
Juat When wo ceased to Interchange round
trip ! tickets wih the Union Pacific we ex-
erCIE1 our right ! ; , and I desire now to say
that our right was only exercised because of
Mr. I.omax's action Tie general passenger
agent or the Union Pacifc now comes forward -
ward and says that he will continue to ex-
erclso his right to say where ho shall re-
celvo business , but declines to allow us the
right which Is ours by thin very nature of
things however this matter Is now under
convlderaton , and I 10 not believe II would !
be right to go Into the details oC this affair
so long as arguments as to the position oC
bolls older ! Is ! going on. The committee to
which was referred the boycott on the Union
Pacific proposed arbitration , and tie names
ofV , A. Thrall , George II. leaford and
George Chari ten were suggested , two oC
whum are known to ho friendly ! to the Union
Pacific , but Mr. Lomax would nol hear to
I , and so thin later dropped , Now there
seems to be reason for beleving thai an
agreement will be reached ! between the Union

heartily welcome than . "
