support.
The committee appointed some time ago
to investigate charges of offensive parti-
sanship made against Foreman Brian Of

Anti-Saloon League Takes Up Police
Matters.

Matters.
The meeting of the Anti-saloon League
held yesterday afternoon at Hamline NJ. Il.
Church was not largely attended. Vice
President Ewin said that the committee
had been disappointed in securing speakers
and President Wilson would be unable to
attend, but 1t was thought best not to slip
the meeting. MIR. Albert f. Shoemaker. the
secretary and attorney for the league, said
he was afraid there was q spirit OF rivalry
between the various temperance organiza-
tions and such a state Of affairs would be
disastrous. The league was business Or
ganizauon. There was nothing sentimental
about 1t, and in performing Its distinct line
Of work 1t should have the support OF every
church in the city, and all persons In iavor
of temperance work. The great work to DC
done now. he said, was to protest against
the granting of barroom licenses. The Pc
titions sent out by the league for signatures
had not been signed as freely as the ofncers
had hoped for, and many persons VINO nad
started out to circulate petitions had be-
come discouraged on account or meeting
with rebuffs. The league wanted all the
facts obtainable about violations OF the
liquor law, then the matter would be taken
before the excise board and an earnest
protest entered. Some people would report
valuable facts to the committee, out IL
frequently happened that the witnesses had
not the moral courage to sign their names
to their letters and the information was
valueless.
Mr.. Ewin spoke briefly Of police matters
and praised Sergeant Daley for his EFFORTS
to close the speak easy" places In his
precinct. &,
Sergeant Daley" he said, us being per-
secuted day after day, and only recently
two men were sent to the workhOuse be-
cause they furnished information upon
which some Of these places were abolish
ed"
During the meeting Miss O'Neal sang
solo. and the quartet of the choir rendered
Courage, My Boy, to Say Mo- and Where
is My Boy Tonight" The meeting closed
with benediction by DR.. Todd.

Followed the Races.

Richard Taylor, whose alias is High
Card Dick" and who is known as a race
track tout" was in the Police Court to-
day as a suspicious person. When the race
people were driven from New York and
New Jersey Taylor came here, as did many
others who were followers of the races.
And, to use the expression of such people,
''he went broke" He was unable to raise
a stake in an honest way, and Detective
Rhodes, who had heard of how he said he
was going to raise sum of money, ar
rested him. He was given ninety days on
the farm by Judge Kimball today In de-
fault of bonds.

LODGED AT THE ASTOR'S.
Remarkably Cool Proceeding of a
BOwery Boy.

A GREATNESS servant from the residence
of Mrs. William Astor. at 34th street and
9Th avenue. New York, rushed into the
West Both street station just before mid
night Saturday night. He asked for an
officer to hurry to the Aston mansion at
all speed.
"A policeman hustled along, wondering
what was up. When he reached the house
he found the servants all gathered in the
hallway, highly excited.
He's on the fourth floor they cried in
aWed voices.
What is he-a burglar" the policeman
asked, as he reached for his revolver.
"Oh, he's awful" was the only reply he
could get from the women.
The policeman went up to the fourth
floor, and there, in one of the gorgeous
bed rooms, he found a scraggy bearded
man in bed. He was fast asleep.
The fellow was aroused and taken to the
West Both street station, where he said
he was John Garvin of 90 Bowery. He
would tender no explanation as to how he
gained entrance to the house or what his
purpose was.
