THE MILE LIMIT.
The Whole Question to bc Referred to
the Courts.


The whole Question to bc Referred to
the Courts,
Ever since the passage of the bill pro-
hibting the sale of liquor within one mile
of the Soldiers Home, the question rs to
how the measurement should be made
has agitated the minds of all persons IN
tcrCsted. The District Commissioners re-
ferrcd the matter To the attorney for
the District, llazelton. That official
has been diligently studying authori-
ties on the subject with tho
result that he has determined not TO rem
der an opinion himself but 10 leave the
whole matter TO the courts This seems
to be the easiest way out of the difficulty,
for If the Attorney rendered decision
adverse to the liquor men they would
appeal to the courts anyway.
Mr. Hazleton said to TuE CmTIC reporter
this afternoon:
~ have not and will not formulate an
opinion for the Commissioners, because il
is case of so much importance that an
opinion of the General Term of the SUI
preme Court Of the District should be had
on IT, Those in favor of a construction
Of the law that the mile limit must be
determined by the regular Travelled road
or roads from the various entrances of the
Home, instead of the measurement being
from any point on thecXterior boundaries
of the property, should institute such Il
proceeding as have outlined and thus
secure Il judicial construction of the law.
This would end all aunoyanCes hereafter
and would establish an abiding rule for
everybody"

WILL ERHARDT Coz
AN INTERESTING ROW IN THE NEW
YORK CUSTOM HOUSE.

Collector Erhardt Dismissed Auditor
Perry, Who Is Here After Rcinstate-
ment--1t Is Talked That Wholesale
Changes VIII be Made. Beginning
with Erhardt.
Eighteen months ago, Mr. Charles n.
Perry, a bright young business man of
Brooklyn, was appointed Auditor of the
New York Custom House, ut n salary of
$4,000 year. lie was indorsed for the
place by Nice-Presidcnt Morton, Senators
lIiscock and Evarts, Secretary Tracy, the
Hon. Thomas Collier Plat and Congress
man Wallace.
Mr.. Perry is no longer in Office. Ills
immediate chief, Collector Erhardt sus-
pended him on Friday last. The Collector
simply told MIR. Perry that he lacked ad-
ministrative ability, and therefore, was
untitled for the office which he had con-
Quoted for year and half.
TO say the least IL took the collector a
long time to find out the incapacity of Mr.
Perry. Mr.. Perry is now in the city, and
he is here to find out il he cannot be re-
instated by Secretary Foster. Nice-Prcsi-
dent Morton, Senator lIiscOCk aud eX-
Congressman Wallace are also in the city,
and 1t is thought they will take a hand in
the fight.
An Interesting story was told to TIiE
CBtrc to-day i'm connection with the sus-
pension of Auditor Perry. 1t is this: Sec
rotary Foster has for some days past been
quietly investigating the New York Gus
tom House and made the discovery that
it was run on the loosest business prnci-
pies and seriously contemplated recon-
mending TO the President the dismissal of
whole batch of officials, beginning with
Collector Erhardt himself. Thisinforma-
ton got to the ears of the Collector and
he concluded to begin counter move.
mcnt Of reform After casting about
for day or two he Int upon poor little
Perry Us proper scapegoat 1t remains
to be seen now whether Secretary Foster
will swallow the bait thrown out by Col
lector Erhardt.
Mr.. Perry is stopping at the Riggs
House. He was seen by rnE Critic re-
porter this afternoon, but declined abso-
lutcly to talk about his suspension. lie
said he was satisfied to let his friends
state his case to the Secretary. If they
failed to convince him that he had been
badly treated, he was willing to return
home and let the whole matter drop Mr..
Perry talks like man who is confident
that his yindication will come as soon rs
the ease can be beinteligcntly placed before
the proper authorities.

The Hearing Proceeds slowly To-day

The hearing of property or lease holders
whose property lies in square 1928, thopro-
posed new postollicc site, was resumed at
o'clock in the old Equity Court this
afternoon bv Commissioners Thomp.
son, Lehman and Hamilton. Lou Meni-
keim was placed on the stand and cross
examined I'm the morning, and i'm the
afternoon John Simmonds the salc.stabc
man, was called.
He said that his lease had vet thirty
seven months to run, and that he paid $40
month for the property. He thought
it worth at least 5000 for him TO surrcn-
der his lease Upon being cross-eX lminod
Mr. Simmonds said that some persons
would pay from 5000 to $4,000 for the
place II IL were for Il livery stable the
lease would be worth at least the amount
named.
Mr.. Charles w. Hugely, veteran
stable-keerer, said that lie had been in
the business for twenty.three years, but
six years ago retired. He thought that it
was worth $4,000.
Mr. Thomas Geary, who has been in the
stable business thirty years, thought the
rent OF the place was at least worth 1925
per month and thought that Mr.. Sim
monds would lose nothing by accepting
SG0OO for the lease. lie also knew that
Mr.. Simmonds' gross receipts from the
business of the sale of horses, including
his personal services, was from $2O,000 to
100000 per year and that Mr.. Simmonds
deposited i'm the Second National Bank
from 81 900 to $50, 600 a year.
The main point i'm dispute was the value
of the uneN pired lease. The hearing was

THE ARMY AND NAVY CLAUSE.
a Hope That the Restriction win 10
RnmnNeh hN tho CnmrI.


Removed by the Court.
In Il little chat with n CRfrrc reporter
this afternoon Commissioner Douglass
said he felt very hopeful that the Court
in General Term would soon render n de-
cisiOn in the Hutton case. Hutton, it
will be remembered, was appointed on
the police force in the face of the fact that
he had never served in either the Army
or the Navy.
Everybody knows that under the pres
ont system only eN.sOldicrs, eX-sailors or
eXmarines are eligible to appointment on
the force and so the First Com mptrOller of
the Treasury refused to honor Huttons
pay vouchers, on the ground that his ap-
puintmeut was irregular.
Mr.. Douglass says that as the SUI
preme Court of the United States
in the EcklotT case held that the
Commissioners had the right to turn Il
man off the force without a trial. he was
of the opinion that they had the same
right TO appoint n man without any quC,-
tiun, and he felt confident that our Dis
tiict Supreme Court would 50 decide.
When the act making only eX-sOldicrs,
sailors and marines eligible was passed It
was done to benefit veterans of the late
war Later ON the age limit was made,
and now there is hardly man who
served in the war, unless he was an or
o-year old drummer boy, who is not over
the age limit.
The men who are seeking to strike out
the Army and Navy clause are members
Of the Grand Army of the lipublic, and if
they succeed they will have accomplished
good work.
