New York had its fimt experience with the enforcement of the excise law on Sun day according- to the direction given by Mayor Gaynor. but New York did not suffer from thirst. " On other Sundays there have been from 100 to 300 police arrests under the excise law. Today there was one. That was practically the only difference that could be seen, however. Back doors of 'saloons were served with the orders for drinks. Soon after his election Mayor Gaynor was quoted ae Baying: that a blue-law Sunday was not at all to his liking:, and that If the -front doors of the saloons were closed and only the back doors or side doors were open on that day he thought the ideal condition of liquor sell ing on Sunday would be reached. M a yor A ft er Graft. In his fight on the graft in the police department that has been the subject of inquiry here recently. Mayor Gaynor dealt the "police system" a crushing blow by ordering that- the matter of Sunday clos ing violations be tkken out of their hands and left with the State Excise Depart ment and the District Attorney's office. Violations of the excise law have here tofore been looked after by the police de partment, and Sunday was considered the best day of the whole week In the matter of revenue. Now that the Mayor has ordered that the police, shall have nothing to do with the saloons on that day, he has removed the chief source of the graft that has fattened the members of the force, Tammany Hit Again. Incidentally, it is said, the Mayor has dealt another crushing blow at Tam many, for the Ktlonn? have been the bulwarks of Tammany Hall, and by put ting their control in the hands of an incorruptible department he has- removed a source of revenue that ip bound to re act on the political organization they eu-nport. Just how active the police were in the enforcement of the law will not be known until the affidavits are submitted to the District Attorney, in pursuance of the lan outlined by tha Mayor. It ie known ;hat applications will be made for some warrants. WAN IS BLOWN FROM AUTO Chauffeur After Kxploslon Wonders That He Is Alive. NI'JW YORK. April 2. Frederick flerg, chauffeur for Arthur D.

EPISODE AROUSES ROME Ex-President declares He Will Not Consent to Abridgment of Lib erty In Otlier Acts Ciirres- pondence Made Public. LOS ANGELES, Cal., April 3. (Spe cial.) Both the Adams and American Kxpress Companies are trying to break the Wells-Kargo express monopoly in the West. They are after the contract with the Satt Lake Railroad. The Wells-Fargo Kxpress Company has a year ajid ten months of its con tract still to run witli the Salt Lake road, and at the end of that time the subject will come up for a rehearing, and the company making the highest bid probably will receive the franchise. The company which receives the con tract with the V etern Pacific in San l'rancisco will be in a position to bid highest, for the Salt Lake's business, as this will give a distributing point for express in Utah. The Western Pacific bid probably wlll be made in a few weeks, ami the northern question will be settled defi nitely before the southern line is open for bids. Officials of the Wei Is-Kai-go Com pany are reticent in regard to the at tempt of the Adams Kxpress to invade the territory, but admit that the Ameri can Kxpress Company is laying its lines for the campaign. The Western business of the express companies is steadily on the increase, and when the Salt Lake line Is in the open market for bids, the price which the Clark road will be able to obtain will be heavy. The Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe both are tied to the Wells-Fargo with long-term contracts and there is no immediate chance for another ex press company to tap these lines. STRONG DEFENSE PLANNED (Continued from Page 1.) close of the present session at a time when there would be no opportunity to choose his successor before next "Winter, it is argued several members of the present House would immedi ately announce themselves as candi dates. No official statements on this subject are expected from the Speaker. His friends believe it would be inad visable for him to weaken the or ganization of the House at this time by disclosing his intentions. Cabinet May lie Strengthened. They argue that, in view of the re cent battle in the House, all the force that was retained by the Republican majority is needed if the Administra tion legislative programme is to suc ceed. There are rumors that before the Congressional elections some changes may be made in the President's Cab inet, but none of these stories can be confirmed. In fact, no one professes to have any first hand information on the subject. At the same time, the general impression seems to be that an effort will be made to strengthen the Cabinet. Among the retirements of tcnest mentioned as possible are those of Secretary ricklnson and of Postmaster-General Hitchcock. Sec retary Ballinger, it is said, may retire, but not under fire. Any action he may take will not be considered until after the close of the pending investigation. Some of the party leaders are urg ing upon the President the advisability of appointing to the Treasury some man who has been affiliated with the party. There is no dissatisfaction with the administration of Secretary MacVeagh, but some politicians argue that the President shouhl not hesitate to use every leverage to advance the Administration politically. William Loeb, Jr., in some quarters is slated for one of the vacancies. Brewer's Place for Hughes. No one in the confidence of Presi dent Taft, it is said, would be surprised if the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench, caused by the death of the late Justice Brewer, should be offered to Governor Hughes of New York. That the President would offer the place to the New York Executive was said last night at a gathering of Republicans, several of whom are close to the Presi dent. It was said that Governor Hughes had not been sounded on the subject, but the general opinion seemed to be that he would, not accept the place. It is generally expected here that the ap pointment will go to Solicitor-General Lloyd V. Bowers. What Roosevelt will do when he re turns to the I'nited States is the sub ject most often talked of about the Capital. It Is a question that no one is able to answer, but it furnishes the excuse for l great deal of gossip and much interesting speculation. Those who are inclined to the view that the ex -President will take Issue with the Administration of President Taft are reminded by astute politicians that Mr. Roosevelt in a way is sponsor for the success of the Taft regime; that his influence nominated Taft. and if hl3 ' inlluence is needed to sustain the Taft Administration would be given freely. Notwithstanding cabled reports to the contrary, the consensus of opinion here is that Mr. Roosevelt is'holding to his announced determina tion "not to talk politics." It is be lieved here that no one has been au thorized to. speak for him. LINER WAITS FOR CREAM Cunardcr Held at Pier That Pas sengers May not Be Deprived. NEW YORK. April 2. The Cunard liner Mauretania. which clipped 26 minutes from her last east-bound pas sage, was delayed 20 minutes in leav ing her pier for the return trip to Eng land because the cream had not ar rived on time. Her passengers were puzzled, as the first cabin gangplank remained out. with no explanation as to the cause of the delay, until four stewards came running down the pier carrying two milk cans. The general passenger agent had ruled that the cream for the passengers coffee was too Important for the Mauretania to sail without it. Hence the delay. Ex-Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of Cleve land, was among the departing voy agers. He said that he was a very sick man and was going to Carlsbad to take the baths.

Depression of the securities market lasf week was ascribed to several' special causes, but the most general factor in operation was the growing evidence of congestion of new capital Issues, threatening the suc cess of financial plans of the railroads for carrying forward projects of improve ment. The abrupt decline in the price of the new Atchison convertible bonds, when first offered in the market, to a price that almost wiped out the value of the subscription righta to stockhold ers was the salient feature of the bond market. Following the sag of the New York City 4 per cents to below the sub scription price, the influence on- the bond market was bad. One effect was to check the foreign demand for new bond issues, which had afforded Important re lief to the heavy obligations of the New York money market to foreign markets by current unfavorable trade balances.' The effect was perceptible in the for eign exchange market. Gold exports from New York were initiated and were thought likely to run to a considerable amount during April. Justice Brewer's Death Is Factor. The sudden death of" Justice Brewer had the. effect of confusing ideas in stock market quarters as to the effect on the vitally important cases pending in that court. The first impression of long delay gave place to expectation of. a decision on Monday in the American Tobacco case, after the Chief Justice had announced that members of the court would not attend the funeral. Both sup positions had a depressing effect on stocks. Wide-reaching effects were produced by the collapse of Granby mining stocks in the Boston market, owing to the dis closures of the conditions of" the prop erty. Copper securities suffered in con sequence in all markets. The incitement to seek high return on capital found an effect in the furious speculation in rubber shares in the Lon don market, from which an ultimate damaging collapse .is considered unavoid able. . Ca r Orders I ncrease. Although extreme dullness has pre vailed In the' pig iron trade the last few days, the market has been steady. Sales aggregated about 80.000 tons. In the ast. the greatest activity was at Phil adelphia, where about 10,000 tons of basic iron was sold at $17.75. delivered over the second and third quarters, and 25,000 tons additional are now pending. Orders for structural and fabricated steel were released with more freedom, specifications for the week being 35,000 tons. and for the month of March 130,000 tons. Railroads placed larger orders for equipment, the ,March car orders aggre gating 24.000 while the locomotive shops booked orders for 459 engines. Rail or ders for the week were small, only 25, 000 tons, and the total for March, in cluding export orders, was only 250,000 tons. Although there were relatively' light orders ,for railroad bridges, only 40,000 tons during March, the railroads last month purchased larger tonnages of plain structural material for their own shop work aggregating about 100.000 tons.
