What PrcHldcnt JInrL Thinks of the
Humors that Games Wcro Thrown.
CHICAGO , III. , Oct. ! ! . A reporter for the
Associated press called on President James
A. Ilnrt of the Chicago club today and re
quested an expression ns to the steps ho
proposed taking in regard to the alleged
throwing of games to the Boston club in
order to defeat the Chicagos in the race for
the pennant.
"I don't share the opinion of many , " said
Mr. Hart , "that It was a combined effort on
the part of the eastern clubs to throw the
championship to Boston. The Bos
tons have of late boon playing
n wonderfully strong game and
It might possibly have won live
straight games from the Now Yorks on their
merits , but it is very unfortunate for them
and all concerned , that their title to the pen
nant should bo clouded by the suspicious ac
tions of those in control of the placing of the
Now York team. Were I under indictment
for murder , with the circumstantial evidence
against mo as strong ns it nppears to bo
ngainst the Now Yon : club , I should expect
to bo hung. From piesont Information nnd
from private advices from Boston , I cannot
but feel there has been cither downrlgnt
dishonesty on the part of the Now York club
or gross incorapotencv on the part of those
In control of the team in the iratnos played in
Boston the past week. "
"Upon what ground do you bnso your opin
ion that such is the case I" President Hart
Was asked.
"Well , In the first plnco I should like to
know why Uusio did not pitch in at least
two of those gamos. The excuse given by
President Day that ho wns not In good health
nd wns loft nt homo because ho had already
.earned his salary may bo satisfactory from a
Boston or New York standpoint , but it is far
from satisfactory to mo or to the Chicago
public.
"I should like to bo enlightened ns to why
Connor did not plnv in the llrst three games ;
nnd also , I would llkoto know if ho was in
jured , 111 , or unavoidably absent ; why Buck
Ewliiff was not substituted , instead of n man
like Whistler. 1 would llko to know why
Buckley wns not put in to catch Instead of nn
unknown nnmteur ; If ho wns unfit , why , if
Now York wns putting forth its best elf orts
to win the gnmo , Buck Ewmc wns not put
In to catch. Ho certainly would have boon
nn Improvement over an amateur , oven If
ho has a 'glass' arm. I would also llko to
know why Richardson was taken out of the
last two games , unless It wns not for tha
purpose of rnuldng the tenm so hopelessly
weak that thoio was no possible chnnco of
winning , if the Now York * wcro as badly
broken up ns they claim , why did they con
sent to play two extra games In Boston , ono
of which should huvo boon plnyed In JSow
York instead of Boston I I should nlso llko
to know why It wns necessary to bo so secret
In obtaining the consent of two-thirds of the
leoguo clubs for tho'io games. It seems to mo
that common courtesy would demand that the
co.iscnt of the Chicago club be at least In
vited. There nro many other questions whicli
I doom moro appropriate to nsk before an in ves-
tlgatlon committee than to discuss through
the press. Judging from the nvalancho of
letters nnd telegrams pouring Into mo from
all parts of the country protesting OSIHJ-
daily ngalust the New Yont and Boston
comes , I am led to bullavo thut If n popular
vote as to wntch club was the real champion
was tnkon among the patrons of baao ball ,
oven outside of Chicago , Anson's ' team
would receive n hnndsoma majority. Tno
base ball public may rest assured that I shall
leave no stone unturned to probe this matter
to Its bottom and to at least place the re
sponsibility for the unfortunate state of
nffnlrs regarding the championship where It
belongs , and I shall Insist upon the expul
sion of the guilty parties , bo they "magnutos ,
managers , captains or players. "

The special committee cf tbo city council
appointed to Investigate the alleged charges
of boodllng profcrred against certain councilmen -
men in their connection with the city hall
furniture contract hold another session last
night. Whllo there was but llttlo evidence
that throw light upon tha deal , thu specta
tors were furnished with the history of the
rise and fall of the Uallou electric light or
dinance that was before the council some
mouths ugo.
Tbo meeting was called for 7 o'clock , but it
was an hour Intur before Chairman Tuttle
called his committee to order. Mr. Chaffoo
was absent , having been called uway on bus
iness , and on account of the vacancy the
lawyers devoted nn hour or moro to arguing
whether ci not ibo eommltteo should adjourn
or go on with the Investigation ,
Mr. Wiiurton. on behalf of the prosecution ,
Insisted that the investigation should not
proceed without the full committee In attend
ance.
ance.Mr. . Donovan , for the acsused , urged that
no injustice could result In a majority of the
eommltteo listening to the testimony nnd Mr.
ChaiTeo reading the same upon bis return.
Mr Morearty stated that ho was ono of the
accused , und us the public was to bo the
Judge , ho did not want the case dragged
along until after the November election. Ho
was ready to worlc until midnight and begin
early Monday mornlnir.
Mr. Wharton said ho did not desire to cast
reflections upon any person , but simply
wanted Justice nnd n full committoo.
Mr. McLoario was of the opinion that
thcro was something behind the scenes , and
asked that the council convene to ascertain
just why the committee was called together.
Mr. OstholT moved that the eommltteo hoar
Mr. liallou's testimony.
A Wltnci t from Cincinnati.
Mr. Wharton know that the mooting wns
called nt the request of Uilltncsloy , nf the
Keteham Fuinituro company.
Mr. Donovan said that a witness hud been
brought at great , expense from Cincinnati
and that his testimony should bo taken , that
ho might return to his home.
Mr. Whnrton informed tno eommltteo that
ho was porfectlv willing to go with Mr. Donovan
evan and take thu testimony of the Cincin
nati man nnd then submit it after the other
witnesses had testified.
Mr. Donovan would agree to that If the ro-
porto'rs woio admitted.
Mr. Whnrion said the rule had not applied
to the taking of Wcnry's testimony. Gannon
had objected and ho would object in the case
of the Cincinnati witness.
The chairman ruled that thn taking of Ml
Ballou's testimony should proceed.
"What right have you to make such a rul
ing without submitting the question to the
committee ! " asked Mr. Davis.
Mr. Lowry arose and stated that bo would
defend the chair.
Mr. Wharton suggested that the chair was
capable of handling Iho question and re-
quested Mr. Liowry to sit down , as no was an
outsider and had nothing to cay about what
should and what should not be done.
Mr. Spccht asked for a full committee be
fore introducing any evidence. Ho stated
that the chairman and Mr. Osthoff were in
clined to takoadvantago of the circumstances.
This remark angeiod Mr. Osthoff. who
charged that Messrs , Soocht and Wiiurton
were urging a continuance simply for the
purpose of delay.
Mr. Wharton argued that if the hearing
proceeded it was simply enforcing gag law.
Mr. Cooper stated that ho would not listen
to any testimony upon the partof the dcionso
until the prosecution had rested. A vote was
taken anu it was decided to listen to Mr.
Ballou.
Tlion Uallou Caino On.
Otis H. Ballou was sworn and testified
that last winter ho was interested in getting
nn electric light franchise through the coun
cil , no talked with nearly all of the councilmen -
men and then had Mr. Morearty , chairman of
tno committee on Judiciary , introduce the
ordinance. He went to Moroarty because he
was led to believe that ho had moro or loss
intlucncc In the council. Morearty took a
deep interest In the ordinance and con
sidered it a good measure.
"What did you sav about giving him em
ployment ! " asked Mr. Whnrton.
"I told him thai if wo located our plant
here , " replied Mr. Bulloii , "wo would have
some legal business and would let him assist
us. "
Witness detailed the conversations ho had'
had with Mr. Morearty and milled that after
the introduction ot the ordinances Mr.
Morearty told him that some of the mem
bers wmo opposed to the measure and that
it would require about $1,500 to secure the
passage of the ordinance. Ho ( Morcarlty )
thought that certain councllmon could bo
Interested , but that it would rfquiro money.
UcfiiHod to Glvo Corruption 1-uiids.
Mr. Ballou testified that ho considered that
a new feature and would want to sco his sec
retary , George Fox , before giving an answer.
Ho consulted with Mr. Fox , and tboy decided
not to put any money Into n corruption fund.
Mr. Moroarty did not inform him who the
men were who wanted the money. Witness
saw a number of councllmon who agioed to
vote for tlio franchise it it was n measure
that merited their support. Witness talked
with Moroarty a inunborof times , but neither
mentioned money but once.
"Did you leave him in doubt as to whether
or not you intended to pay this 1,5'JO , " asked
Mr. Whnrion.
"Yes. Ho worked for the franchise until the
ordinance came up for passage and than he
voted npntnst It. "
"Did iho measure carry 1"
"Yes , sir. "
"Did any other moinbor demand money ! "
"No , sir. "
Mr. Osthoff moved that Mr.Fox's ' testimony
bo stricken out , as no had testified that
Ballou would name other man who had de
manded raonoy. The motion was lost.
Mr. Ballou stated that Mr. Moroarty H polio
of other men , but did not name thorn.
Vorcarty Takes n Ilniul.
Mr. Moroarty took the witness in hand and
subjected him to a cioss-oxnniiiiatioti. The
history of ttio ordinance \\as recited. Mr.
Ballou testified that Mr. Morjurly never
demanded ono dollar for his own work , but
only aMted the privilege of handling the law
business ot the company. He , however ,
stated that ton ir.ombors agreed to support
the ordinance.
"Did I not say that as there were enough
votes to pass the ordinance without my sup
port , I would vote against lU" asked Mr.
Moroarty.
"No sir. "
"After the ordinance passed , did wo not
co dowu to Chris Toll's saloon and have a
drink ! "
"Yes sir. "
"And did I not shauo hands with vou and"
toll you I was the best frload you had ) "
" 1 think not , as nftor voting as you did , it
would have bcon straugo if y6u had told rae
such a thing. "
Then several of the members took a turn
at bolstering up their reputations.
Mr. Donnelly was the IIrat man who got to
the front. Ho said :
"Did you talk with mo about the ordi-
uanco ! "
"Vos. "
"Did I demand any money I"
"No , sir. "
"Did 1 ever Indicate that I wanted any
money I" aaUod Mr. Bluinor.
"No. Mr. "
"Did I ! " aslcod Mr. Burdlsu.
"No , sir , " again rosnonJod Mr. Ballou.
Mr. Ballou then explained that ho sup
posed thai Mr , Morearty was a councilman
of Inlluouco , but after the vote was taken on
the passage ot tbo ordinance ho changed his
mini ) .

"I would Una to have Mr. Bnllou tell us
about that Apcil.fool . chock , " said Mr. Davis.
"Is It a fact tbatyou gave Mndson n chock I"
asked Mr. Morearty.
"Yes , I did- but it was on April fool Joko. "
Do you consider all of your chock& as
JoUoil" asked Mr. OsthoiT.
"Not always. "
"Did you glvo tnis check to satisfy Mr.

"Not as a money maUor. "
"Whntamountdld it call for ! " asked Mr.

"It did not call for any money , but possibly
Mndsen thought It called for * 9. * > 0 , as that

"Was there any cash consideration ) " again
aslcod Mr. Moroarty.
"Not any , " replied Mr. Ballou.
Mr. Ballou thou detailed the visit to Mud-
sen's house. The ordinance had been In his

cused him of boodling.
Mr. Specht said that the statement was not
true , that , ho Ind told nothing only what Bil-
llncbley had told him. This brought Messrs.
Donnelly and Billingsloy to their feet. They
both showed signs of fight , but were quieted
by the .
sergeant-nt-arms.
Mr. Cooper announced that the defense
could not proceed until the prosecution had

Mr. Osthoff urged that Mr. Bpocht waive

ICtxasTox , N. Y. , Oct. 3. The Ulster
County Savings Institution has closed It *
doors nnd 11 In chnrgo of Bank Superintend
ent Preston. Kxamlncrs who have boon nt
*
work slnco Tuesday have found already that
$1113,000 , have been stolen by Treasurer Os-
trnndor nnd Mntthow T. Triimboiir , assistant
treasurer , nnd It Is feared the stealings will
reach ever that amount. At midnight
last night Superintendent Preston aworo
out n complaint charging Trnmbour with
perjury In swearing to false statements
contained In the July report of the bank to
the banking department , nnd Trumbour was
nrrcstoJ. Ho was just preparing to lieu
from town , nnd was locked up in Jail.
Oatrandor was arrested about two wcoits
ago lor ombe/zllntr $75,000 , and was under
bond for $ . ' 0,000. The bondsman last night
turned him over to Sheriff Dill , nnd ho was
also locked up in Jail. When Ostrander was
arrested there was a run on the banit
i r tin co da.\s but the other banks
came to the rescue of the Ulster Countv Sav
ings Institution and the trustees made a
Btntemuit showing a surplus of fJt ,000. As
the statement was signed by a number of
prominent men of the city who were directors
of the bank , it had n reassuring effect and de
positor ? who drew out their money brought
it back.
The system adopted by Ostrnndor and
Trumbour was mos > t ingenious and for twenty
years balllcdtho skill of the expert examiners
in the employ of the state. In carrying It out
forgery nnd perjury were frequently and
effectively omploj ed. The statement showed
rosourcesof ? . ' , it,000 ; ; duo depositors , ? lbb3-
000 ; surplus , $ : MT,000.
It Is impossible to toll or oven conjecture
the olTect the closlngof the bann will hnvoou
the people of Ulster county. The majority of
the depositors nro poor people. There are
two other .savings banks in the city , tlio
Hondont and Kingston , the trustees of which
have decided to demand sixty days' notice
fiom depositors should there bo a run of any
consequence.
The feeling against the trustees who
signed tlio statement is bitter
in the oxtremo.nnd they are characterized as
thieves for making the depositors believe the
bank wus solvent when they should have
known its condition. First Vice Picsidont
Btodhcad , who had executive charge of tha
bankalso comes in for his shnro of censure in
signing tne statement nnd allowing the people
ple to rodeposlt their monoy.
The Ulster County Savings institution was
incorporated by act of the legislature
April 12,1SSI.
The people had great confidence in the In
stitution. It is said n number of the bonds
mentioned in tha statement by trustees were
hypothecated In Now York by Ostrnndor nnd
Trumpbour. Another method mentioned
was that deposits in manv coses were entered
on tbo bank's "register for only half and a
third of ttio amount received , while entries in
depositors' books were made for the full
amount , the difference being taken by the
thiovus , The streets of Kingston nro filled
with people and depositors are nrrlvlng on
evorv train nnd by all manner of
vehicles. Occasionally some of the ex
cited farmers .threaten to break into
the bank building nud got their money , while
others suggested that a lynchlne party bo
formed to hang Ostr.inder nnd Trumbour.
Business is virtually suspended. Ono man
who has $7,000 on deposit developed symp
toms of Insanity and it is feared it will bo
necessary to take him to the asylum.
City ofliclals , fearing the throats to burn
the Jail whore Ostrandor and Trumbour nio
conllncd would bo executed , summoned the
( Ire department , members of which are now
watching the bank building , couit house and
jail opposite.
The prisoners wcro arraigned this after
noon. Their examination was sot for Mon
day moraine. It is stated on the street today
that after its affair- , are wound up the bank
will pay depositors " . " > cents on tno dollar.
The trustees of the Ulster countv savings
Institution have made this statement to the
public :

The sailors killed a Inrpo number of

ttio schooner was not warned against enter
