SEIZURE ON AN OPEN SUNDAY.

many Restored TO Power.

New York, oct. 26.-Cooper Union was
filled tonight with Gcrman-Americans
The meeting was held under the aus
pices Of the German American Citizens
Union, and was called 10 order by DR..
Joseph H. Senner. commissioner of i'm
migration, who made an address in Ger
man.
DR.. Senner said the objects OF the as
ISOLATION were to secure a liberal Sunday
law, an honest city government and iu-
dietary, and the overthrow of Tammany

eu at the Mannerchor hall meeting some
unanimously.
John B. Pannes, President Of the Ger
man-American Citizens Union, was then
introduced as chairman of the meeting
Han.
The next speaker was Carl Schurz who
received a great ovation. He spoke in
German, and, after referring to the man
ner IN which Tamman= hall administer
ed the affairs of the city, as brought
out by the testimony before the Lexow
committee, SAID in part: IN shame I
say Iammany hopes to conquer through
the vote of the German-Americans of
New York, because Tammany believes
the COMMUNICATIONS 10 be capable Of
taVoring the restoration of Tammany
ropDery-rule or OF at least helping TO
pave the way of their restoration. Mayor
strong has entirely misunderstood the
principle of a nOn-partisan administra-
ton, but as far as the honesty of the
government is concerned, the differences
between the present and past is as day
and night"
In referring to the excise question, Mr.
Schurz said: For reasons of public well
fare and in the interest OF labor and NOR
atty, am decidedly for a liberal admins
tratiOn of the Sunday law. But as true as
! live If | were to purchase my wine or
beer by the delivery OF this metropolis
with her population to the old government
OF criminals-eVery drop would turn on
my tongue into gall and poison"
What does Tammany care for personal
liberty? Tammany wants money. plumber
even if personal liberty should thereby 90
to perdition. The German who sells him
self to Tammany for the sake of the Sun
day question sells himself not only with
disgrace, but for nothing"
Mr.. Schurz was followed by Carl Hauser
and at the conclusion of his speech the
meeting adjourned amid cheers for the flu
sion ticket.

small place not far from Montreal, then
known as "Peros' Isle" on the nth day
OF March, 1884, and, though In feeble health
to-day, she passed her 10lst mile-post on

ECONOMIzING AT MONACO.
Evidence That This Resort is on the
Downward Grade.
From London Society,

A very decided and unpleasant change is
coming over the spirit of the dreams of
the Spectator in the formerly mueh-cov-
eted shares of the Monte Carlo Casino
Company and the very decided impress
sion conveyed by a study of the report is
sued q [ the meeting of shareholders held
the other day is that the whole concern is
very rapidly proceeding to that disastrous
termination Vulgarly known as pot;
from bad to worse is the progress report
ed There was a falling of OF more than
100000 francs (f120C0O from the previous
year, and nearly 5,000,o0 (f20O,00O) less than
the total received in 1928.
After deducting 100000 francs (f320OOO
for expenses, 100000 francs (f440,000
were left for division among the holders of
$4,000 shares in the company 50 II was
decided to declare a dividend of 100 francs
per share, which, with % francs interest
paid upon each coupon in October, totals
up to per cent. per annum upon the pres
ent value of the shares. This, of course,
would satisfy ordinary appeutes, but not
the voracious cOrmorants who have been
used to much higher interest for their
money, and so all kinds of economies are
once again under consideration.
Some of these retrenchments in expenses
were tried on at the beginning of the sea-
son, and met with the disapproval of the
Prince Of Monaco, who cannot get rid OF
this gambling scourge (even if he really
wished to, which, perhaps, he does noO
until 1913.
All this shows the downward grade, and
we very much doubt If this hell keeps its
fires burning till 1913. There is a proposal
to charge admittance to the rooms in
stead Of as always hitherto has been the
case admitting gratis on presentation of a
visiting card, and this innovation would
be good one, for it might possibly keep
out some of the toughest who now fire.

San Francisco, Oct. 26.-Aooording to the
Examiner the mysterious statement which
Theodore Durrant addressed to his attor-
ueys. and over which there has been so
much speculation. was placed in the hands
Of the attorneys for the defense before

10 the jury. Every effort was made to keep
these facts secret. but they have leaked
out at last and denials are without effect
In giving his sealed statement to his at
tOrneys Durrant made a special written
request that it was not to be opened until
after the trial and then only after convic-
don. If the jury brought
in a verdict of acquittal, or If there was
disagreement, then the document, with
The seals unbrOken, was to be returned.

letter that he saw Rev. J. George Gibson
and a young man prominent in the affairs
OF the church bending over the body of
