Bald to Be Special Privily Enjoyed by Certain Individuals. NEW YORK, Jan. S. Frank Moss, tx-preeidrni of the board of police com missioners, speaking last night at the Universal Thought Saion Kt Wnter bury hall, on the topic, "Things In General," blamed the men who tuy special privilege iir municipal miwule In New York. He said among other things: "This unanimous pointing to poor Senator Sullivan. Martin Kngel, Pereey Nagle and Devery U suspicious. It Is suspicious that all the newspapers agree in attacking vice. It is suspicious ihnt Tammany itself points to the particu lar vices of gambling and disorderly houses. I am inclined to look behind and we that greater evil is shielded. The men who might start an organi zation to overthrow Tammany are themselves guilty of doing practically the same thing. The men who have been building up this system of cor ruption know that the men who were In control of New York life were buy ing privileges and were fattening up on the fruits of special purciiu.. priv ileges. "Devery is bad enough, but he Is a mere creature, a mere product. The commissioners are as guilty as Dev ery, yet they talk of taking one of them to be the single head of the de partment. He is the very man who broke his faith with a chief with whom he had no fault to find, to put Mr. Devery where he is at the behest of politicians and gamblers. There has leen all this discussion about vice, but he has done nothing. There has not been a single trial but be is not ulti mate criminal. He is the creature of system. "Croker is certainly an object against which we have to turn our batteries, but I don't know that he is the worst one. There are men in New York who are great financial powers and who have been furnishing the brains for Tammany hall for year and profiting by It and they have been using the rough man who is the nominal head to control the masses and they have giv en him. the sough man's price." , Mr. Moss described the enormous val ue of the subways as an Illustration of the special privilege. which he said a certain few men were Interested In, and he said that It was to protect thrtn In the enjoyment of that mono poly that they maintained Tammany and through Tammany prevented a construction of the pipe galleries which would carry wires in competition with the subways. "This Is the condition, yet the mis erable public Is amused over dive and gambling dens and the holders of spec ial privileges slyly say, 'We'll if we can get the reformers to put In nomina tion for mayor some man who won't interfere with our special privilege.' "line of the blgg-st builders in New York said to me: If I were to tell you some of my experiences It would turn the city upeide down.' " 'Why don't you tell meT" I said. " 'Oh, It would end me.' was the re ply. 'What white-livered men we are In New York! I have seen men turn pale when I suggested that they speak out. Though vice is bad It is not the worst thing. If It was not for corruption in business lift there would not be so much in politics. One can be a rail road wrecker or n absorber of cor porations and be considered respectable. The strife that is now on will go on until a force of men who have pa triotism and civic pride will redeem the city." WEDDING NOT POSTPONED. Mourning- for Grand Duke of Saie Welmar Will Be Over Before the Marriage. NEW YORK. Jan. S. A dispatch to to the Herald from The Hague says: It is learned from a trustworthy, though unofficial, source that there will be no postponement of the royal mar riage on account of the death of the Grand Duke of Saxe-Welmar. It has been decided that the queen shall wear full mourning for three weeks only and the queen dowager for four weeks instead of six, so that the period of mourning will be over before the date fixed far the wedding, which will take place on February 7th, as will also the festivities. VKNEZl'IILA CONTROVERSY. Dispersal of Rebel Force Removes a Troublesome Phase, NKW YOKK, Jan. S.-.V special to me Herald rrom Washington y: On of the serious phase of the Yen esuclan a.sphalt controversy has b?n removed by the dispersal of the rebel force which hav been operating gninst the Caracas government.

The Caracas government can. therefore. addivst Itself to the task of preserving ord-.'r In the terri tory Involved In th trouole between the New York and Hermudese Com pany and the Warner-Qulnlun-Sulllvatt syndicate. Apprehension that the Venetuelan government would eject the men pro tecting the Now York and Nermudese Company property ha been lessened, but the authorities woulJ not be sur prised should the pers-m In the employ of the Warner-Quinlan-Sulllv.in syndi cate. aclln umhr the decree published by the Caracas government, attempt to tuke possession of the territory Kol tled therein. Such attempt woull brlrg on a conflict of arms between American citizens. Minister Loomls has not only urged the Venetuelan government not to take action Itself until a decision ha been rendered by the supreme court of Ven eiueia or until the United States has completed its Investigation, bu: St has also requested it to preserve the peace. As showing that a better feeling prevail In oilU lal circles regarding the trouble, the cruiser Buffalo sailed on Saturday for Santa Lucia. As a result of consultation with the state depart ment. Secretary Long ha ordered the Hartford to resume her irulse. The Scorpion Is now the only v-.-xsel at La Guayra.

Hope to Hoe a Hundred Tammany Member Vent to Slug King, NEW YORK, Jan. (.-Discussing the development and the altitude of Tam many In connection with a system of irotectlon for gambler and other form of vice In thl city. Dr. Park hurst said last night: "If these charge are true and can be presented by the district attorney a absolute evidence, resulting In the con viction ot guilty men, It will be a grat thing for Justice and the city. We all have known that these crime of Tam many exlrted, but the name ot the men In It were what we wanted to know, particularly a to how the sys tem worked and what portion of It reached Tammnny hall a an oiganlaa tlon. "If the district attorney can go be fore the grand jury substantiating these charg with name and dates, connect ing the men who paid the money with the criminal who received It, It will mean Sing Sing for a lot of them. "There t nothing so Important for reform In New York a to rut the string of Tammany' treasury. The leader never cared for anything but money. All their apparent Interest In organising so-called reform movement has been mere pretense, With the proof, there 1 no reason why Mr, Phil bin should not make quick work of it, and remove the necessity for Mr. Crok er' relurn to New York. "If we could gi t about one hundred of the gang Into Slug Sing the city would have some chance for It muni cipal life. To convict Tammany as an Institution I one thing; to convict It guilty member as Individual Is quit another. I have always believed In the ultimate triumph of virtue and Ihe peo ple. It look hopeful to hear that gamblers have a quarrel with the sys tem blackmailing them. 'Complaint ha been made of the mayor' Inactivity.' But Mr. Van Wyrk ha been unable to do anything, even If he wanted to. The Tammany system Is In control. "From the present disclosures It look a If Tr.miminy hall might be deMrowd entirely. I hop they will he sustained by evidence and Ihe blacknmllers sent to Sing Sing." COMPANY REORGANIZED. Herring-Hall-Marvin Company Capl tallied at I3.JO0.00O. NEW YORK. Jan. 8.
