presented ty the existing ~tociet,es composed OF

cation Fl Major Asa Bird Gardiner Of New
York. representing tho Society of the War of
1912. for permission 10 have an action brought
10 tho name OF tho State IN dissolve the Society
OF tho War OF 1912 of the State OF Now York.
whose principal ONCE 10 at Plattsburg. but
whose incorporators include prominent Alban-
fans and gentlemen connected with the State
departments. The ground Of the application
was that the Society uf tho State OF Now York,
or the Plattsburg society. had Illegally taken
tho naIne OF the society which Major Gardiner
represents. The members OF the Plattsburg
society deny that the names are Identical and
cl i'm that iheiI organization had It's origin on
account OF the fact that the New York city
s0clety. having q sufficient membership. placed
restriction to admission. In that only descend
ants OF commissioned officers Of that war
should be eligible TO membership.

RAINEs LAW AMENDMENTS.
To He Determined ~ Their Erect on tho Eiee.
tos In the Greater New York.


ALBANY. Feb 25.-It was learned to-day that
any amendments made to the Raines Liquor Tax
law by the Legislature this year affecting the
cities OF New York and Brooklyn would be
determined absolutely upon the effect OF such
amendments In the Greater New York election
next fall. The local Republican leaders In New
York and Brooklyn have notified both Mr.. Plat
and Senator Raincs that 1t would be dangerous
to interfere with the present operation OF the
Raines law in the two great cities OF the State.
They say that the people are now enabled to get
their glass Of beer on Sunday. and that TO en-
tirely wipe out the great majority OF Raines law
hotels would have a disastrous effect upon the
chances OF the Republican party in the election
OF a Mayor for Greater New York next fall.
One OF the members OF the Raincs special
committee has suggested that the provision in
the Raines law touching hotels be amended so
as TO increase the number Of rooms which a
Raines hotel should have and otherwise increase
the hotel regulations, and that the tax be
II such an amendment were adopted. 1t would
make the hotel tax in New York 81 800 and In
Brooklyn 81 300. II Is argued that such an in
crease in hotel regulations and In the tax would
materially promote the wiping out OF the low
class Raines hotels, and yet would enable the
opening OF a sufficient number Of places on Sum
day to supply tho reasonable sppetites Of the
people In those municipalities.
senator Raines will consult with. Mr.. Plat
and Chairman Lauterbach Of the New York
County Committee and County Clerk Jacob
Worth OF Kings before the amendments are
finally adopted which would seek to restrict the
sale OF liquors In New York and Brooklyn.

MAY PLAY At COLUMBIA OVAL.
Princeton Men Favor That Place for the Foot
ball Game with Vale.

Some time ago the University A. c. Of this city
sent an official document to Yale and Princeton.
recommending that tho annual football game
between these universities should be taken away
from this city and played on college grounds.
The matter has been carefully considered by the
two football associations, with the result that
different opinions prevail. As the Yale.Harvard
game this fall will DO played Mt New Haven
tho Yalc-Princeton game would, as .
natural result, DO played at Princeton.
At tho latter place, however, there does
not seem to be an enthusiastic desire to have
the game take place there. the body OF under
encc for neutral grounds. As the faculties OF
the two universities, however, will insist upon
college grounds, there Is quite n good deal OF
versity's grounds at WiiliamsbridSe. Il is said
that Columbia will agree to build the stands,
viding the colleges will sign a five years lease.
A member OF the u. g. committee, which
managed the game ut Manhattan Field last fall
The, chances for playing the Yaie-Prinoeton
football game At Columbia Oval are, about five
out Of seven. The authorities at Columbia Uni
versity are anxious to boom their athletic field,
and ! am in a position to say that they are will
colleges will sign u ~iivc-year lease. The oval
IL removed just far enough from this city to
made an almost perfect football ground. II is .
college field, too. which will DO In accord with
the wishes of the two faculties.
AT Princeton there seems to be some objeo-
ton to holding the game there. chiefly because
OF the expense attached to the building OF tenn
porary stands and the inadequate accommodate
lions Tor visiting alumni. The undergraduates
have IA leaning toward this city, but as the game
must he played on college grounds, they are
most favorably Opposed to Columbia Oval"
A prominent Yale man, however. who was
also on the l. a. {. committee. seemed to be
opposed To the selection OF the oval on tho
ground that II Columbia put up the stands the
colleges would be expected TO pay the expenses.
He also said that Yale would very probably re-
fuse to sign a tlyc-ycar lease. In other words,
Yale Is in favor OF playing in Princeton this fall
and In New Haven In 1898. Walter Camp il ex-
pected to have considerable say in the matter,
and he will meet some prominent Princeton
men to consider IL in q few weeks.
