During the meeting it was disclosed that Clerk Elison had left the un¬ signed warants at home. He offered to get them and started to leave the school building. A hand bag had been brought to the mot ling by liim. Mr. Ellison wanted to taka the bag with him when he started for home to get the unsigned warrants. Sevehil mem¬ bers of the Board jumped up to pre¬ vent him.
"Gentlemen, I advise you not to place your hands on me," said Ellison.

"I've got it on them,' Masi stated Jacoby told him. "if you want any¬ thing, say you want it and put up. Money will get it for you. I've got something more."
So Masi followed the tidvlce. He uever gamed ihe full coniidence of the keepers, bui wueu he received mouey from his fauiiiy he spent it freely lor beer aud oiiter inlo:Licanta aud thus cuiriud tavor. He never found the readiness of service that Jacoby did and did not expect il, but liie in the jail was maile pleasanter for him, he declares.
When the matters relating to the dlscloBure,b in the jail have been thor¬ oughly investigated in Nassau Couuiy, it is entirely likely that the Federal authorities will present evidence be¬ iore a United Stales Grand Jury. The graver charges of while slavery may iheu he brought Out.
During the wide exploitation of the disclosurea iu the couuiy jail ihe ques¬ tion has often been asked, "How did it ail come about? How did tills auo- cioua matter come to the attention of the i'edeial District Attorney?"
The original iuvesiigalions by the Federal au'iuorities was instituted up¬ on information laid beiore United rfiiites District Atloiney Voung by a representative of The Nassau Post, aud it was due to the preseuiation ot
longing to the several tenants, and other property.
All the tenants carried Insurance. The building was also In sured. The American Mechanics, it is estimated, will suffer some loss above the in¬ surance carried, having recently ac¬ quired a substantial amount of new paraphernalia. This had not been in¬ corporated into their insurance pollcy.
Some of the charters of the frater¬ nal organissatious were destroyed by the fire.
The Realty Building was erected about five years ago by William Otten, a Brooklyttlte, now deceased. It was named after him, but changed to c-e Realty Building when a number o( real estate flrms including PetUt a Lamb lost suites of offices. Mr. Forbes purchased the building (rpm George Christians.
