DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE. BUREAU rOK THE COLLECTIUN OF TAXES. NEW TORK. December 1. 1307. Mr. Bapst explained that whereas there was only -..*•.,...! In cash on hand, money that has come. In since Kiispeuslon. there was one <! bt alone that would entirely wipo out this cash balance on re- or-ning. It is «49.CX> that Is owed to the First National Hank on overdrafts, or overclearances, the latter having acted as the cleariiiK ajjent for the Wi'liamsbunr. Superintendent Williams, of th«» State Banking Pep«nment. has told Mr. Bapst that this ftO;OM must Ik- paid as soon as possible. Among the witnesses btfore the grand Jury yes- terday were the following directors of the WV'iUl- i3jnsbur»; Trust Company: John 11. Scheldt. Theo- dore P. Jackson. Marshall S. DrifO, Charles fjjfauag Edwards, John W. Weber. 1-. G. Lemmer- man an -i Robert T. Whalen. Fenwlck B. Small and J. L. Hart, Fons-in-!aw off John G. Jenkins, sr., were also examined. Th.- former is a director of the Jenkins Trust Company and the latter is said to be interested la a brokerage house afliliated with t!ie Jinn of Frank and John G. JenWns, jr. Other witnesses were the five clerks of the latter firm, who acted as '"dummies"' in large loans obtained for It from the Wiliiarasburß Trust Company. W. A. Field. jr.. formerly paying teller, also testified. The jrrand jury is said to l " prepared to sign ad- ditional indictments in the batik cases, but just when they wtll be handed down could not be learned last night. A sad story was told art former District attorney James W- BBMBBwa*-. of Kings County, yesterday. He has been a director of the Jenkins Trust Com- pany for some time, but did not hold a large block or stock until within a week of suspension. Frank G. Jenkins, jr.. came to him and said: "I have forty shares of stock which are worth 230, but I will let you have them for 210." So Mr. Ridgway immediately snapped up the "bargain," putting up J5.400. part of which belonged to his wife. At about the. same time, it Is said, some thirty shares of the Ftork were sold for M in the Manhattan market. Mr. Ridgway has since expressed himself rather forcibly on his financial venture. It is understood that an attempt Is bein t ; made to form a syndicate in Manhattan to take over the First National Bank, the Williamsburß Trust Com- pany and the Jenkins Trust Company. If the plan pofs through the members of the, Jenkins family •will be asked to give up their stock, and the insti- tutions -will be entirely reorganized under new au- spices. Many cases of actual privation as well as finan- cial loss amon; the depositors of the suspended In- stitutions are coming to light. Yesterday a woman •who had a weekly allowance from a trust fund In the WiUiarnsburg Trust Company told the receiver fhe was going to be dispossessed. He ma ar- rangements to guarantee the woman's rent and pave her $10 out of his pocket. A depositor In the Borough Bank enable to pay a mortgage that was due. although he had money in the bank for that purpose, has had a notice of foreclosure served on him. C. M. Stafford, acting for a committee of the depositors of the Brooklyn Bank. Is trying to legal- ise the merger between that lnstitutoin and the In- ternational Trust Company and reorganize the two under another name and a new management- Frederick K. Gunnison has been mentioned as a possible head for the institution If the plans are successful. Some $900,000 is needed for that pur- pose. King* County Grand Jury Hears More About Their Power. Prom what the Kin**. County Grand Jury Las learned In Its investigation? of the Williamsburs Trust Company in the list few days, the directors of that Institution, in common -aith those of in- stitutions in which the J.nsJau family were inter- \u2666\u25a0sted. apparently allowed the Jenkinses fre« soope. The BSBBN ' prwsfled that the name Jenkins stood for all that »a* wis»- and honorable in bank- Ing, and what they did Si their reypectlve institu- tions was rarely questioned. "So far as I can p*-o. ther«- was no loan committee Of the director? of this institution." said Frank I>. IJapst. temporary receiver of the Wiinamsburg Trust Company, jrsrterday. "The directors seem to have al!o»«-d th«« Jenkins family run things jnuch as they p].-a»ed. There an- many atile mt-n In the lK>ard. bat I kii«*s some of them trill not •want any more exjwrii-nce as directors." Mr. Bapst is indipnant over the criticisms levelled fu him betause of Uie CS.OW allowance he got from tne court for .>xi^ns4 p. "That money is n.-eded."' ho said, "for the expenses of the various branches and to run the office huildinp that the company owns in Fulton street. Not a cent of it will po to me or for counsel f^-es, and not a cent can be paid out without the proper order. Some cf these people Feem to think I have come down here i.. loot the bank.

Valuation of Provident Savings Realty Made Before They Got Control, Declares Counsel. According to Edward Lauterbach. counsel for E. R. Thomas and O. F. Thomas, his clients are not responsible for the alleged excessive valuation placed on thfj real estate of the Provident Savings Life Assurance Society which the Thomases took over from Timothy L. Woodruff. The subject of overvaluation came up through the order of Superintendent Ketae* of the State ranee Dims Hun ail to the Provident not to write any new policies. The alleged Impairment or th«* society's assets is laid to the reappraisement of ii- real estate holdings. The extant of the im- pairment will not be known until the insurance departments of New York and of Colorado, which la also interested in the Investigation, make public the result of their probe. Mr. Lnuterbaeh said that he had nothing to say about Mr. Woodruff in the affair, but that ' the valuation of the Providont's real estate was placed before the Thomases l*»ught control of the society. ••The Thomases," said Mr. Lauterbach. "had absolutely nothing to do with the valuation of the property. That was done while Mr. Woodruff was president; although Mr. Woodruff Is aaM right. My clients paid 550 for their stock. I don't see how this affair can affect them." Chosen by Policyholders and the Trustees "Without Opposition. At the annual election of directors of the Equita- Me Life Assurance Society yesterday there was nr» opposition to the regular ticket. The following directors were chosen by the policyholders to serve a term of four years, from December 31, BW: Thomas Randolph, of St. Louis; James Kcllahon. of Brooklyn; Ludwifj Nlsscn, of Mew York; John D. Kernan. of Tti N. V.; William Whitman. of Boston; Emanuel W. Bloom'ngdale, and William F. Paine, of New York City.

There were also elected twelve directors, in two classes, by the three trustees of the controlling stock of the society— Grover Cleveland, Morgan .1. O'Brien and Georz« Westinghouse. , They were; To serve for one year, from December XL. 1907: George T. Wilson. William A. Day, A. W. Krech, V. F. Snyder and Bradish Johnson, of New York O!ty. and D.

The election of two classes of directors represent- ing the stock was for the purpose of adjusting the classes. Last year the policy holders elected twenty-eight directors and the stockholders none. Ludwig Mssen, th» new director elected by the {Mdicyholders to a four-years' term, is nn importer of diamonds and pearls. SAYS THOMASES ARE NOT TO BLAME.i EITJITAEIE LIFE DIRECTORS. Attorney General Jackson, it was announced yesterday, will reject the proposition of James H. Hyde nd other former and present directors of the Equitable Life Assurance Society to mafco restitution to the amount of more than £1,000.000. as a compromise of an action brought by th \u25a0 receding Attorned General for an ac- counting. In making known his determination to continue the rait that his predecessor. .Julius M. May. Instituted. Mr. Jackson says that the offer of a compromise is too indefinite to consider, and further, that he has serious doubts as to the ability of the proposers to make pond all th^ip promises. The offer to repair the alleged diversion of Equitable funds under the old administration was made to a committee of Equitable directors appointed to take up the matter of restitution. This offer covered a variety of transactions. The largest individual amount was that which former Vice-President Hyde agreed to refund, including the JG2.000 which he received in profits from syndicates. In which also the company had an Interest. The Attorney General's office- received the committee's report through a communication from counsel for Mr. Hyde. Negotiations re- vealed that some of the affairs had been settled. Included in this settlement was the $C 55.000 loan in the Mercantile Trust Company, known as the "J. "W. A. No. 3 account," and a loan of $250,000 to the Depesjr Development Company. The particular promises of the Equitable men that Attorney General Jackson considers im- possible of adjustment apply to the question of the leasehold values of premises in the Equit- able Building, at No. 120 Broadway. These are the leases of the Mercantile Safe Deposit Com- pany, the Security Safe Deposit Company and certain syndicate transactions. The directors' committee express In their report the belief that they can obtain the abrogation of the Mercan- tile Safe Deposit lease which prevents the mak- ing of any improvements. This lease was made on such terms that for a period of fifteen years tho entire rental received was $3,460 less than the money expended by the insurance society for repairs on the premises. The Attorney General has decided that, what- ever the circumstances of this unprofitable lease. he cold not hope to- disprove, if lie accepted the Hyde offer, so far as the lease was con- cerned, that the latter did not make it in all good faith. The followinft persons in the suit brought by the state were stockholders in the Mercantile Safe Deposit Company: James H. Hyde, James TV. Alexander. Gage E. Tarbell. Valentine P. Bnyder, Thomas D. Jordan. Charles B. Alex- ander. Henry K. TVinthrop, Alvin R. Krech and William R. M.lntyre. Deputy Donnelly, of the Attorney General's Staff, who reported on the- question of the leas.-, said in Us report: "The complaint alleges that certain of tho defendant directors realised larpe sums of money at present unknown to the plaintiff by IWHWI of the leases herein referred to, and no Bettfc meat without the full knowledge of tho Attorney General without the amount of th*> Ijr.>iitp en realized should be approved." The state's suit will come up for argument on a demurrer some time this month. Attorney General Will Xot Compn wise on Hit Action. REJECTS HYDE PLAX. GOVERNOR POST REAPPOINTED.

The formal dedication of the restored Fraunces's Tavern, at Broad ana Peart streets, yesterday, by the Sons of the Revolution, was in the nature ol a double celebration. As voiced by Edmund Wet- more the celebration was not only that of the re- juvenation of an historic landmark, but of the fact that the spirit and patriotism that drove the British from New York still lived, and was evidenced to- day by the arresting of what bade fair to be a disastrous financial panic The descendants of those who had turned back the banner of Britain. animated by the same patriotism and armed with j the same steadfastness, had turned back the tide of financial fear. On December 4, 1783. there was a great to do in Broad street Tli«re was not a Redcoat to be found In New York City, and in celebration Gen- eral George Washingion met the commanders of the Continental Army in Fraunces'a Tavern, at Broad and Pearl streets, and bade th m farewell. On December 4. 1807, there was likewise a great to-do in Broad street. The Sons of the Revolution and their guests marched through Broad street to Pearl to Fraunces*s Tavern. They assembled In the Long Room and took formal possession of tho tavern, after dedicating it as a landmark of his- tory and patriotism. Hugh Hastings, ex-State Historian, couldn't tell exactly what the weather conditions were on De- cember 4. 17*3. but ii. believed they were the same as yesterday. Be thLt as it may. the Sons of the Revolution and their guests, after assembling at the Consolidated Stock Exchange, marched as bravely, though they trod through slush, as had their forbears of 124 years before. The martial touch was not lacking. In place of the war worn buff and blue of the Continentals there was the red white and blue of the veteran corps of artil- lery, constituting the Military Society of the War of'lSlL'. the Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix commanding. Rowland Pell adjutant. In front of the Tavern were drawn up seventy; five policemen, twenty-five mounted and fifty afoot. and the 7th Regiment Band. At 330 o'clock Robert Olyphant, chairman of the building committee of the Sons of the Revolution, formally turned the Tavern over to President Ed- mund Wetmore of the society. The tablets were then unveiled. The procession then formed for the search to the Chamber of Commerce Building, m Liberty street. Mounted police led, followed by the band, the Veteran C>rps of Artillery, the unveiling party in carriages, the Fraunces's Tavern committee, guests of the Sons of the Revolution, officers and ex- ofHccrs of the society and the members themselves. At the Chamber of Commerce the artillery corps lined up on each side of the staircase and i >!< " sented arms while the guests entered. President Wetmore opened the exercises here, which con- ' sisted of a speech by himself and reading various ' letters, one from. President Roosevelt, which was us follows: I«. wish I could he present at the celebration of the restoration of Fraunces's Tavern, lor every American must feel SB. peculiar Interest in the an- niversary of Washington's farewell to his officers. It Is a line thlr.,? that we have societies Interested in the commemoration of such Incidents, for we ran best face the problems of the nation's present If we know something of the nation's past There- fore I congratulate you upon celebrating In dig- nified and appropriate manner an occasion of such patriotic interest. Short speeches were then made by J. Edward Simmons, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and by ex-Governor John Lee Carroll of Maryland, general president of the Sons of the Revolution. HISTORIC CELEBRATION FEDERAL TROOPS FOR GOLDFIELD. "Washington, Dec. 4.— President Roosevelt Issued orders to-day to havo federal troops held In readi- ness to aid in restoring order at Goldfleld, Nev. This action was taken upon representation from Governor Sparks that the miners there are in re- volt and riot. Nevada Is the one state In the Union which has no rrilitla. Governor Sparks does not deem the situation such as to justify immediate federal Interference, but as one likely at any time to get beyond his ability to control. Th. nearest federal military base is at San Francisco. Persian Carpets Bring Good Prices at Auc- tion Sale. Th« sale of H. H. Topakyan's stock of Oriental ruga and carpete began yesterday afternoon in the auction rooms, at No. 264 Firth avenue, and was well attended by admirers of Persian workmanship. The bidding was most active when the small S.i reek and Bokarah rugs were offered, but there was little or no competition when tho richly de- signed royal Persian carpets were put up. Bids ranged from $10 for the smaller Kaz;ikja rugs to $675 for delicate Persian Sarook carpets. Two larse K»rmanshah carpets, measuring 17 by 11 ft»t. received only opening bids of $.",(X> when they were put up for sale, and stopped at that tiKU!'\ C. H. Laien^ene, the auctioneer, refused to sell, us there were no other bids offered. One Iran carpet took a quick Jump from 515 to $83, at which figure it was sold. A Sarook carpet, 1.1 by 9 feet, necessitated explanation of the skilful workman- ship and value before the bidding started at $300, which tiK'irt> again caused the proceedings to stop while the auctioneer gave another talk on the scarcity of Persian workmanship in this country. The carpet was finally sold for J450. The sales yesterday amounted to $10,000. Mr. Topakyan said the auction will continue all week, until the seven hundred carpets and rugs are sold. Among" the purchasers at yesterday's sale were Dr. I-ee Morroll, J. M. Oliver, E. K. Whitney and Mrs. J. J. Sheppard. C V; > - ART LOVERS BID FOR RUGS. WHAT IS GOING ON TO-DAY.

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE. BUREAUrOK THE COLLECTIUN OF TAXES. NEWTORK. December 1. 1307.

Mr. Bapst explained that whereas there wasonly -..*•.,...! Incash on hand, money that has come.In since Kiispeuslon. there was one <! bt alone that

would entirely wipo out this cash balance on re-or-ning. It is «49.CX> that Is owed to the FirstNational Hank on overdrafts, or overclearances,

the latter having acted as the cleariiiK ajjent forthe Wi'liamsbunr. Superintendent Williams, ofth«» State Banking Pep«nment. has told Mr.Bapst

that this ftO;OM must Ik- paid as soon as possible.Among the witnesses btfore the grand Jury yes-

terday were the following directors of the WV'iUl-i3jnsbur»; Trust Company: John 11. Scheldt. Theo-dore P. Jackson. Marshall S. DrifO, Charlesfjjfauag Edwards, John W. Weber. 1-. G. Lemmer-man an -i Robert T. Whalen. Fenwlck B. Small andJ. L. Hart, Fons-in-!aw off John G. Jenkins, sr.,

were also examined. Th.- former is a director of

the Jenkins Trust Company and the latter is saidto be interested la a brokerage house afliliated witht!ie Jinn of Frank and John G. JenWns, jr. Otherwitnesses were the five clerks of the latter firm,

who acted as '"dummies"' in large loans obtained forIt from the Wiliiarasburß Trust Company. W. A.

Field. jr.. formerly paying teller, also testified.The jrrand jury is said to l" prepared to sign ad-

ditional indictments in the batik cases, but just

when they wtll be handed down could not be

learned last night.

Asad story was told art former District attorney

James W- BBMBBwa*-. of Kings County, yesterday.

He has been a director of the Jenkins Trust Com-pany for some time, but did not hold a large block

or stock until within a week of suspension. FrankG. Jenkins, jr.. came to him and said: "I haveforty shares of stock which are worth 230, but I

will let you have them for 210." So Mr. Ridgwayimmediately snapped up the "bargain," putting up

J5.400. part of which belonged to his wife. At about

the. same time, it Is said, some thirtyshares of theFtork were sold for M in the Manhattan market.Mr. Ridgway has since expressed himself ratherforcibly on his financial venture.It is understood that an attempt Is bein t;made

to form a syndicate in Manhattan to take over theFirst National Bank, the Williamsburß Trust Com-pany and the Jenkins Trust Company. Ifthe plan

pofs through the members of the, Jenkins family

•will be asked to give up their stock, and the insti-

tutions -will be entirely reorganized under new au-spices.

Many cases of actual privation as well as finan-cial loss amon; the depositors of the suspended In-

stitutions are coming to light. Yesterday a woman•who had a weekly allowance from a trust fund Inthe WiUiarnsburg Trust Company told the receiver

fhe was going to be dispossessed. He ma ar-rangements to guarantee the woman's rent and

pave her $10 out of his pocket. A depositor In theBorough Bank enable to pay a mortgage that wasdue. although he had money in the bank for thatpurpose, has had a notice of foreclosure served on

him.C. M. Stafford, acting for a committee of the

depositors of the BrooklynBank. Is trying to legal-

ise the merger between that lnstitutoin and the In-

ternational Trust Company and reorganize the two

under another name and a new management-

Frederick K. Gunnison has been mentioned as apossible head for the institution Ifthe plans aresuccessful. Some $900,000 is needed for that pur-

pose.

King* County Grand Jury Hears

More About Their Power.

Prom what the Kin**.County Grand Jury Las

learned In Its investigation? of the Williamsburs

Trust Company in the list few days, the directors

of that Institution, in common -aith those of in-

stitutions in which the J.nsJau family were inter-

\u2666\u25a0sted. apparently allowed the Jenkinses fre« soope.

The BSBBN' prwsfled that the name Jenkins

stood for all that »a* wis»- and honorable in bank-

Ing, and what they did Si their reypectlve institu-

tions was rarely questioned."So far asIcan p*-o. ther«- was no loan committee

Of the director? of this institution." said Frank I>.IJapst. temporary receiver of the Wiinamsburg

Trust Company, jrsrterday. "The directors seemto have al!o»«-d th«« Jenkins family t« run thingsjnuch as they p].-a»ed. There an- many atile mt-n

In the lK>ard. bat Ikii«*s some of them trillnot•want any more exjwrii-nce as directors."

Mr. Bapst is indipnant over the criticisms levelled

fu him betause of Uie CS.OW allowance he got

from tne court for .>xi^ns4 p. "That money isn.-eded."' ho said, "for the expenses of the variousbranches and to run the office huildinp that the

can be paid out without the proper order. Somecf these people Feem to think Ihave come downhere i.. loot the bank. Why Iown as BBUcai prop-erty as roost of th.se .llrectors. Ido not want this

Valuation of Provident Savings Realty Made

Before They Got Control, Declares Counsel.According to Edward Lauterbach. counsel for

E. R. Thomas and O. F. Thomas, his clients arenot responsible for the alleged excessive valuationplaced on thfj real estate of the Provident Savings

Life Assurance Society which the Thomases tookover from Timothy L.Woodruff.

The subject of overvaluation came up through

the order of Superintendent Ketae* of the State

ranee DimsHunail to the Provident not towrite any new policies. The alleged Impairment orth«* society's assets is laid to the reappraisement ofii- real estate holdings. The extant of the im-

pairment will not be known until the insurancedepartments of New York and of Colorado, whichla also interested in the Investigation, make publicthe result of their probe.

Mr. Lnuterbaeh said that he had nothing to say

about Mr. Woodruff in the affair, but that'the

valuation of the Providont's real estate was placed

before the Thomases l*»ught control of the society.

••The Thomases," said Mr. Lauterbach. "hadabsolutely nothing to do with the valuation of theproperty. That was done while Mr. Woodruff waspresident; although Mr. Woodruff Is aaM right. My

clients paid 550 for their stock. Idon't see howthis affair can affect them."

Chosen by Policyholders and the Trustees"Without Opposition.

At the annual election of directors of the Equita-Me Life Assurance Society yesterday there was nr»opposition to the regular ticket. The followingdirectors were chosen by the policyholders to servea term of four years, from December 31, BW:Thomas Randolph, of St. Louis; James Kcllahon.of Brooklyn; LudwifjNlsscn, of Mew York; JohnD. Kernan. of Tti N. V.; William Whitman. ofBoston; Emanuel W. Bloom'ngdale, and William F.

Paine, of New York City. All were re-elected ex-cept LudwigNissen. who takes the place of JosephBryan, of Richmond, Va., who resigned recently onaccount of the press of private business .

There were also elected twelve directors, in twoclasses, by the three trustees of the controllingstock of the society— Grover Cleveland, Morgan .1.O'Brien and Georz« Westinghouse. , They were;

To serve for one year, from December XL. 1907:George T. Wilson. William A. Day, A. W. Krech,V. F. Snyder and Bradish Johnson, of New YorkO!ty. and D. F. Moffat. of Denver.

With the exception of Mr.Morrell the directors ofthese two classes had served before. Mr. Morrellwas rlected to fill a vacancy.

The election of two classes of directors represent-

ing the stock was for the purpose of adjusting

the classes. Last year the policyholders electedtwenty-eight directors and the stockholders none.

Ludwig Mssen, th» new director elected by the{Mdicyholders to a four-years' term, is nn importerof diamonds and pearls.

SAYS THOMASES ARE NOT TO BLAME.i

EITJITAEIE LIFE DIRECTORS.

Attorney General Jackson, it was announcedyesterday, will reject the proposition of James

H. Hyde nd other former and present directors

of the Equitable Life Assurance Society tomafco restitution to the amount of more than

£1,000.000. as a compromise of an action brought

by th \u25a0 receding Attorned General for an ac-

counting. In making known his determinationto continue the rait that his predecessor. .Julius

M. May. Instituted. Mr. Jackson says that

the offer of a compromise is too indefinite toconsider, and further, that he has serious doubtsas to the ability of the proposers to make pond

all th^ip promises.

The offer to repair the alleged diversion ofEquitable funds under the old administrationwas made to a committee of Equitable directorsappointed to take up the matter of restitution.This offer covered a variety of transactions. Thelargest individual amount was that which formerVice-President Hyde agreed to refund, including

the JG2.000 which he received in profits fromsyndicates. In which also the company had an

Interest. The Attorney General's office- received

the committee's report through a communicationfrom counsel for Mr. Hyde. Negotiations re-vealed that some of the affairs had been settled.

Included in this settlement was the $C55.000 loan

in the Mercantile Trust Company, known as the

"J. "W. A. No. 3 account," and a loan of $250,000

to the Depesjr Development Company.

The particular promises of the Equitable men

that Attorney General Jackson considers im-

possible of adjustment apply to the question of

the leasehold values of premises in the Equit-

able Building, at No. 120 Broadway. These are

the leases of the Mercantile Safe Deposit Com-

pany, the Security Safe Deposit Company and

certain syndicate transactions. The directors'

committee express In their report the belief thatthey can obtain the abrogation of the Mercan-

tile Safe Deposit lease which prevents the mak-ingof any improvements. This lease was made

on such terms that for a period of fifteen years

tho entire rental received was $3,460 less than

the money expended by the insurance society

for repairs on the premises.

The Attorney General has decided that, what-ever the circumstances of this unprofitable lease.he cold not hope to-disprove, if lie accepted

the Hyde offer, so far as the lease was con-

cerned, that the latter did not make it in all

good faith.The followinft persons in the suit brought by

the state were stockholders in the MercantileSafe Deposit Company: James H. Hyde, James

TV. Alexander. Gage E. Tarbell. Valentine P.Bnyder, Thomas D. Jordan. Charles B. Alex-

ander. Henry K. TVinthrop, AlvinR. Krech andWilliam R. M.lntyre.

Fraunces's Tavern Formally Dedi-

cated by Sons of Revolution.The formal dedication of the restored Fraunces's

Tavern, at Broad ana Peart streets, yesterday, by

the Sons of the Revolution, was in the nature ol

a double celebration. As voiced by Edmund Wet-

more the celebration was not only that of the re-juvenation of an historic landmark, but of the fact

that the spirit and patriotism that drove the British

from New York still lived, and was evidenced to-

day by the arresting of what bade fair to be a

disastrous financial panic The descendants of

those who had turned back the banner of Britain.animated by the same patriotism and armed with

jthe same steadfastness, had turned back the tide

of financial fear.On December 4, 1783. there was a great to do

in Broad street Tli«re was not a Redcoat to befound In New York City, and in celebration Gen-

eral George Washingion met the commanders of

the Continental Army in Fraunces'a Tavern, at

Broad and Pearl streets, and bade th m farewell.On December 4. 1807, there was likewise a great

to-do in Broad street. The Sons of the Revolution

and their guests marched through Broad street to

Pearl to Fraunces*s Tavern. They assembled In

the Long Room and took formal possession of tho

tavern, after dedicating it as a landmark of his-tory and patriotism.

Hugh Hastings, ex-State Historian, couldn't tellexactly what the weather conditions were on De-

cember 4. 17*3. but ii. believed they were the same

as yesterday. Be thLt as it may. the Sons of theRevolution and their guests, after assembling at

the Consolidated Stock Exchange, marched asbravely, though they trod through slush, as had

their forbears of 124 years before. The martialtouch was not lacking. In place of the war worn

buff and blue of the Continentals there was thered white and blue of the veteran corps of artil-lery, constituting the Military Society of the War

of'lSlL'. the Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix commanding.

Rowland Pell adjutant.In front of the Tavern were drawn up seventy;

five policemen, twenty-five mounted and fifty afoot.and the 7th Regiment Band.

At 330 o'clock Robert Olyphant, chairman of thebuilding committee of the Sons of the Revolution,

formally turned the Tavern over to President Ed-

mund Wetmore of the society.

The tablets were then unveiled.

The procession then formed for the search to the

Chamber of Commerce Building, m Liberty street.

Mounted police led, followed by the band, the

Veteran C>rps of Artillery, the unveiling party in

carriages, the Fraunces's Tavern committee, guests

of the Sons of the Revolution, officers and ex-ofHccrs of the society and the members themselves.

At the Chamber of Commerce the artillery corps

lined up on each side of the staircase and i>!< "

sented arms while the guests entered. President

Wetmore opened the exercises here, which con-'sisted of a speech by himself and reading various'letters, one from. President Roosevelt, which wasus follows:

I«. wish Icould he present at the celebration ofthe restoration of Fraunces's Tavern, lor everyAmerican must feel SB. peculiar Interest in the an-niversary of Washington's farewell to his officers.It Is a line thlr.,? that we have societies Interestedin the commemoration of such Incidents, for weran best face the problems of the nation's presentIfwe know something of the nation's past There-fore Icongratulate you upon celebrating In dig-nified and appropriate manner an occasion of suchpatriotic interest.
