NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-First prices in the
stock market this morning were only slightly
changed from those of last evening in railroad
shares, but the industrials showed fractional
losses. The latter, hawevor, possessed none
of their late prominence in the dealings.
Prices in the early trading failed to move in
either direction and a heavy temper was de-
veloped late in the hour, The decline reached
its limit bcfnro II O'Clock and at that time the
market was quiet and fairly steady at frac-
tional losses from first prices.

of Tammany and its desperate efforts to
shut his mouth or parry his thrusts Last

has been sitting during the March term
and investigating the evidence presented
by d. Parkhurst and his agents as to the
existence of dives and disorderly houses
as well as the general violation of the eX-
else law without interference by the police
brought in a sweeping and damaging pre-
sentiment. This presentment says that
Il is apparent 90 all that gambling houses
houses OF prostitution and saloons arr open in
aware of their existence. The only raids made
upon them are made by citizens The police
rule provides thar tine captain of each precinct
shall send 10 police headquarters list of the
gambling and disorderly houses in their respect
i've precincts. such reports art made and al
though the law gives power TO the Superinteud-
ent 10 issue his own warrant and have ms officers
break into such places, without going 10 court
such proceedings are not taken In tact the re Is
no appearance OF police interference with gamb-
ling houses, houses of prostitution, or saloon
keepers who violate the excise law.
Facts like these lead the grand Jury to
the inevitable conclusion that the law is
not enforced because the police are in cor
Tupt collision with the rum-sellers and
diye-keepers.
Asa result of the grand jury's action, last
Sunday was what is known as ''dry sun
day in New York, the police having
passed word among the saloons that they
must be closed. There was wrath among
the thirsty crowd III consequence, and in
some places extra policemen were detailed
in front OF the saloon doors to quiet the
tumult.
Henry NJ. Taber, the foreman of the
grand jury, expresses the opinion in pri-
vate that nearly $4,000, 900 is collected
annually from the keepers of gambling
dens, saloons, concert halls and houses Of
i'll repute in New York city and distrib-
uted among the members of the police de-
partment as the price for leaving these
places unmolested The lowest and cheap
est places pay regularly $50 a month for
this purpose, and the 'higher grades are
assessed larger sums in proportion
