JUST PLAIN HONESTY.
Mr.. Roosevelt Tells Why He
Enforces the Law.
Not a Wonderful Thing but
Simply Common Honesty.
ONLY KEEPS HIS OATH.
German Reform Union Com
plains of Mayor Strong.
Say He Promised to Interpret
Excise Law "Liberally."

NEW YORK, July 26-President Roose-
velt of the police board and Internal
Revenue Collector Edward Crosse last
night, for the second time, came into
collision over a discussion of the excise
question, which they view from opposite
standpoints.
The meeting took place at the head
quarters of the Columbia club. Presi
dent Roosevelt said: E'We stand for the
enforcement of all laws. and where it
is physically impossible to attend
to all we will attend to the
chief offenders first, and deal with the
others in due time. We won last year on
the platform of common honesty, which
means the enforcement of all laws.
"YOu read that interview with the
editor of the Wine and Spirit Gazette,
where he stated that under the old regime
the blackmail of the police became SO
heavy that a delegation called on the
president of the police board and he
agreed to stop it on condition that the
saloon keepers supported Tammany
Hall, and no astonishment is expressed
at this revelation because everybody
knows it to be true
O"This excise law never was dead law
1t has always been enforced but it is said
to be inforced only against those who
had no pull During the last four dry
Sundays the number of arrests did not
reach the records made on three Sundays
of last year.
''In 1894 over 5000 arrests were made
for violating the excise law A pretty
good record for a dead law.
THE difference between then and now
is not one of severity, but one of common
honesty. I've been told that we jeopar-
dlzed reform by daring to stand up
against the banded interests
of the wealthy brewers and
liquor dealers. If the cause of good
government is to suffer because we keep
our oaths, suffer it must.
81 would fail thousand times rather
than succeed at the cost of official con
nivance at thievery, dishonesty, black
mail and corruption"
Internal Revenue Collector Crosse
said in reply: 81 he German-American
Reform Union has been deceived by
Mayor Strong Mayor Strong promised
that the laws would be interpreted in d
liberal manner.
1--WE have been fooled. We were down
on Tammany because of its Infamous
enforcement of the excise law. Now we
! are worse off than before"

Mother of Byron Roberts, Over a Hundred
Years Old, Breaks Her Arm.
Mrs. Katherine Roberts, mother of Mr..
Byron Roberts, fell down the four top
steps of the back stairway last evening
at her home, 315 West Tenth street, and
broke her right arm at the shoulder

She mistook the back stairway door
for that of the bathroom and on opening
it lost her balance and fell

hurried to her and found her sitting on
the steps.
She was carried to her room, and
DR.. G. J. Mulvane was called. He found
the head of the humerus broken, and The

The doctor set the arm without the use of
an anesthetic, and Mrs. Roberts rested

GOLD GOES DOWN.
Bank OF England Cuts the Price to Stop
French Shipments.

oank Oh England Cuts the Price to Stop
French Shipments.
New YORK, July ga London cable
gram to the Evening Post says: There
are interesting developments in the
money market. A sharp rise in Paris
exchange was naturally anticipated as
soon as the Chinese loan was floated, but
the enormous rise of yesterday was of
course mainly due to the anticipated re-
mittance of funds here as cabIed you on
Wednesday.
Exchange receded this afternoon be-
cause the Bank of England has Just an
nounced a reduction in the purchasing
price of French and Russian gold coin
to rs shillings 81 pence per ounce This
was done to check gold shipments
from France here. It will probably
France is selling gold freely, and it is
feared here that the accumulation of
gold is likely to be immensely increased
during the next few months
Others urge that the money market
may be frightened by q lookup of cash in
the Bank of England, but this idea
is not supported by present indi-
cations. The money remitted from
France, will, it is stated, go to the credit
at the Bank of England. of the Russian
government, large installments TO japan
not being due until November.
Seven or eight million pounds will
possibly be spent here by Japan in the
renewal of her navy, etc, and some
will go to Germany for a similar
object Beyond this all is mere
conjecture, great secrecy being
maintained by those conducting the
operation. The theory that gold will be
drawn from America in this connection
seems unlikely, considering the weak
ness of the Bank of France to sell gold.
Everything. therefore, indicates a fur
ther rise in French exchange.

How POpuIist Reformers Made the Mos,

accounts of the old board of penitenti-

rector w. J. Hurd of Holton, the Popu-

by N. n. Beck, made excessive charges
for his services to the state.
Mr.. Hurd charged ten cents mile for
travelling outside of the state and got the
money, but the auditor now discovers
that he was entitled to but three cents a
mile or actual expenses.
Mr.. Hurd also charged So so day for
his services, which was in excess of the
appropriation for expenses of the peni-
tentiary board. As Mr. Hurd got the
money and is now out of office it is not

New YORK, July 26.-China is fast
completing arrangements to place large
orders for ships. guns, small arms and
ammunition abroad After her recent
disastrous experience with Japan, and
following the example of France at the
close of the war of 1870 with Germany,
the country promptly decided not to be
caught mapping again. Commissioners
were therefore sent to Europe and
America with this object in view, and it
was said that the fruits of this work will
soon be apparent.
One of the Chinese commissioners
was present at the test of shells at Perry
vile. The shells are known by the
name of their inventor, Justin, who
claims to have solved the problem of
utilizing explosive gelatine with safety.
The gun used to make the test was
nine inch Blakely rifle. Two shells
were fired. the first with load of 25
pounds of fine rife powder. and the
second with 361a pounds of dynamite.
