GOTHAM'S SUNDAY
In Fight on Police Graft, Mayor Re
,movc Great Source of Contri
butions by Taking Saloons
From Their Jurisdiction.
NEW YORK, April 3 (Special.) 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.

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.

Stocks Depressed in Prospect of De
cision Today In American To
bacco Ca.se Collapse to Fol
low Rise of Rubber.
NEXV YORK, April 3. 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.
GIANT NEGRO IS ROBBER

NEW TORK. April 2. A giant negro,
armed with a revolver, his fac,e hidden

Fluid In Treatment.
NEW YORK. April 2. Louis Degen
stein, a commission merchant, of 54 River
dale avenue, Tonkers. is in serious con
dition from the removal of a wart from

Q. What is Astigmatism of
the eyeT
A. Astigmatism is an uneven
curvature of the eye and causes
a double focus. As the eye al
ways strives for clear vision this
double focus annoys the brain
and causes headaches and nerv-
ousness. AVe make lenses called
cylinders to correct astigmatism.
Q. What causes double vision T
A Double vision is caused by
the eyes not being in line, that
