discovered substitute for rubber and has sue
cecded in interesting capitalists in project for
manufacturing u a large scale lie received with
interest. but not with any excitement by the
rubber trade; Charles r. Flint. who is treasurer
OF the United States Rubber Company, said yester-
day that that corporation looking into the
matter through its experts. whose duty II was TO
investigate thoroughly all OF the processes which
from time TO time are brought forward for the
manufacture OF substitutes for rubber but he was
firmly persuaded that no substance could be made
which would supersede rubber. A Spadone pres-
dent Of the Gutta Percha and Rubber Manufactur-
alleged substitutes for rubber had appeared
within the last few years, but that none Of them
had been found TO answer the purpose. Most OF
the vegetable oils, If treated by certain processes
would produce substances resembling rubber and
the MeCullum substitute" produced from an
oil But a.. these products lacked the strength and
elasticity OF rubber. and we're IN reality only
aduterants OF real rubber, being mixed with II in
the manufa cture Of articles which could be sold

Chief Of Police Devery yesterday Indignantly pro-
tested against the wearing Of shields and the car
rying OF billes by the hundred deputies of
Superintendent Of Elections McCullagh similar 10
the shields and the biliies and carried by the
police. Chief Devery stated that the shields are
almost facsimilcs of the kind used by the rounds
men and detectives of the Police Department.
There is slight difference in the lettering on the
shields and very slight difference In the coat-of
arms but in general design they similar that
a casual glance would not detect the difference.
The bii1es. said Chief Devery. almost identical
in appearance. and have the numbers in brass. Just
as the bibles Of the police force do Chief Devery
said that this in violation OF Section 339 of the
Greater New-York Charter which makes IL mis-
demeanor for any one 10 wear emblem device
that in any way resembles those Of the Police De

about Police Headquarters that II would not be
surprising il the deputies we're arrested by the
police for violation OF these ru.es
When Superintendent McCullagh was told what
Chief Devery had said he replied: 1T is too bad
that am arming my thugs and desperadoes with

record. not" The Superintendent absolutely
refused TO say another word on the subject.
Chief Devery brought the matter before the Police
Board yesterday afternoon, as he had said he in
tended doing. and made vigorous protest. The
Board considered the matter ana decided TO hold
another meeting this afternoon for further con-
sideration Of it. Commissioner Abel said after the
meeting that Superintendent MeCulagh's deputies

THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DECIDES TO ,lN-
DoBsE HIM. AND THE GENERAL COMMITTEE
WILL PROBABLY RATIFY THE ACTION
The Executive Committee of the German-Amerl-
can Reform Union met at the Grand Central Pal
ace last night. The call for the meeting stated
that important business would be transacted, out
gave no nmation Of its character. II was gen.
orally understood, however that Herman Rider
and several other prominent members who are CIV
ing their support 10 the Democratic State ticket
would endeayor to swing the union in that direc-
to' That much was practically admitted before
the committee met but there were some VINO were
not AT all certain that the move would succeed.
They said that the union had held no meeting Tor
over a year, and that TO a.! ihtents ana pufposes
It had ceased TO exist.
Among the delegates was ex-SheriH Hansen.
Others present were Edward B. Amend chairman
of the General Committee; Joseph Kullmann. Carl
L. Lowenstein, Carl r. Hangl and DR.. Joseph WIN
ter.
Mr.. Lowensteln, who was one of the principal
speakers, is said to have protested against the can
for the meeting on the ground that the umoh'
having failed to live up its constitution, had no
legal existence. Other speakers took the same
ground and Mr. Hangl said that. inasmuch as
Tammany had given the union the cold shoulder
q year ago, he was opposed to fusion. He thought
the committeeman ought 10 consult with their con-
stitiIents before they took decisive action. Any
thing that they might do under existing condi-
tons would be likely TO be declared uncQnstitu-
tionai.
vote was taken the question of whether or
not the union had legal existence. BY vote Of
% 20 20 it was decided that It had. Several OF the
committeeman left the room at this point and the
next speaker raised an uproar by declaring that ne
would not be bound by the acts Of half a dozen
men. Mr.. Tamscn advocated the support or Judge
Van Wyck for Governor and an alliance with TAM
many. After some DEBATE the committee, by vote
of - to 3 passed a resolution recommending the
Endorsement Of the Democratic State ticket and cl-
the General Committee to issue the follow
ing call: -,
"A meeting OF the General Committee will take
place Wednesday october u. at p. m. at the
Grand Central Palace Lexington-ave and Forty

regard to the coming election.
