tyranny In the shape OF the House Of Lords. While
that barrier stood there chance for the Irish
TO obtain even a modcum OF justice. Mr.. Finerty
continued:

sIoNER SAYS.

SIONER SAYS.
President Roosevelt. OF the Police Board, dellv-
cred an address last night at the Lenox Republican
Club. at No. 122 West One-hundred and twenty
ninth-st. In the course OF his remarks he said:
II am much fattered that Senator Hill. leader
Of the New-York Democracy, should make speech.
whose keynote was somewhat vague denunciation
OF the Excise law, and that the temporary chair
man OF the Democratic Convention at Syracuse
should make speech asking how it would be If
We had an enforcement OF an obsolete tax law. The
Excise Law is not obsolete law.
Gentlemen. It is worth while calling your atten-
ton to what the Excise law Is and who made 1t.
The law the statute books against the sale Of
liquor on Sunday made by legislature owned
BY Senator Hill and signed by Governor
who the private property OF Senator Hill. That
there be no mistake about what | mean. let me
tell you that that law passed in 1892. Under
obsolete laws don't make arrests.
THE temporary chairman OF the Democratic con-
yention has much 10 say about the methods | en-
ploy | employ the methods that have been en-
ployed by the Police Department ever since arrests
have been made. What Senator Hill means when
he says have been too harsh is that we have
been too honest Last year there 100 arrests
nearly every Sunday for violations of the excise
law Last Sunday there only thirty ar
rests on other Sundays thirty, eighteen twenty
eight and thirty-seven arrests. We have accom-
plished more with much smaller number OF arrests
than they did last year. I was going to say that
they did not accomplish their purpose with a
greater number OF arrests. but they did accomplish
their purpose they used the law for blackmali and
they arrested men who had enough money TO buy
influence in the future We have arrested an WI WHo

He declared that Hills idea OF personal noer,y
was shown in the Iiaymarkot riot IN Chicago. IN
closing Mr. Roosevelt said that he would ike 70 see
more German costums introduced. He sald that Una
the custom of the German to sit down WIN ms r VIII
