Efforts 10 Have the Late Amendment stricEet
from the Constttutlon.


RGorts TO Have the Late Amendment stricken
from the Constitution.
= TRENTON, Feb. 23.-Before Supreme Court JUS
tices Depue, Van Syckel, and Garrison to-day
the fight to have the anti-gamblinE amendment
removed from the State Constitution was re-
newed. Former Attorney General Stockton.
Allan A. McDermott. and ex-senator Edwards
for the race-track interests. Attorney. General
Grey appeared for the State. The points made
by the opponents were much the same as pre-
sented at the original hearing. Mcssrs. Stock
ton and Edwards argued that the amendments
were not adopted according to the Constitutional
requirement., not having received q majority
Of the votes OF voters voting thereon. Mr.. Nc
Dermott argued that the act of, 1897, submit
ting the amendments was unconstitutional. the
ballot not being in the form prescribed by the
son who voted on one amendment to vote for
or against all three. The amendments, he con.
tended. should have been submitted on separate
ballots, so that a voter could vote for or against
or refrain from voting on any one or two.
Should Mr.. McDcrmott's contention DO upheld
last years election would be declared illegal
and the present Legislature would be able to
submit new amendments this year.
Attorney. General Grey argued that the &C
ton OF the State Board of Canvassers was final,
not beginning the contest before the declaration
OF result had been made, that the ballots re-
jected by the election boards should not be reck-
oned as votes cast in whether an
amendment had received a majority Of, tho total
votes cast, and that the rejected ballots were
correctly estimated as not having been legally
cast and were therefore void.
A decision is not expected for several weeks.

curities sued for are 1900 shares Of Manhattan
Elevated. 1900 shares Of Western Union Tele-
graph. 1000 shares of the Bridgeport Hydraulic
Company, and 260 shares OF the Houston Water
Works Company. Mr.. Butler alleges that these
securities were deposited by Mr.. Richardson
with Miss Emmett to be returned upon demand.
An order for examination returnable yester-
day had been served on Miss Emmett, but she
did not present herself in court. Counsel for
Mr.. Butler said that he would move to punish

Postmaster Wilson OF Brooklyn called at the
department to-day relative TO some space which
the Mail and Transportation Company. or the

Of the Brooklyn Post Office.
Mr.. Wilson did not think that the tube over
the bridge would be Of as great service as some
people thought 1t would. "Much remains to DO
proven" said he. "of the claims OF the pro-
motors of tho tube over the bridge. 1t is impos.
sible to tell just how much can be accom-
plished by its use, but it Is certain that
We will not be able to dispense with
the wagon service. At best the capacity Of the
tube will be limited, and we have several con-
Germs In the city. any one OF which dumps enough
mail into the Office in a weeks time to swamp
the tube service. Some OF them pour IL in by the
ton. That mail will have to be handled in some
other manner. and, as n matter Of fact,
we can land mail in Jersey City much quicker
by sending 1t direct from the Brooklyn
office than we could by sending 1t to the
New York Office through the tube. 1 believe
that the great value OF the pneumatic tube ser
vice lies In the expediting Of local mails. and 1t
will be OF much benefit to those who wish to
send a letter from q far point in New York to
Brooklyn. As far as the accident in the tube
yesterday is concerned l have nothing to say.

A decision constituting certain parts Of the will

OF a part to 20 to each Of his two brothers and
throe sisters for life. and except in the case Of
his sister. Mrs. Elizabeth Mary Ludlow. the
residue was TO 20 TO the issue Of the life tenant.
In the case Of the share Of Mrs. Ludlow 1t was
provided that on her death her share should go
to her son. Robert Center. and his issue. Mr..
Withers's sister. Nine. do Raucourt. was ex-
cluded from the estate. II was urged. however.

son OF the lapse Of legacies.
without issue. and Robert Center, who was run
into by a cart and killed while bicycling, died
since the death OF tho tcstator and while his
mother was living. Mr.. Center left no issue.
Justice Freedman decides that the nth set
apart for Reuben withers now goes as follows:
One.third to the issue of testator's sister, Mrs,
Euphame Clason; one third to the issue of his
sister. Mrs. Virginia Paine. and one-third to tho
issue of his brother, Alfred d. Withers. As
Mrs. Ludlow is still living, her share remains In
tact, but on her death IL Is found that It will DO

was. This decision prevents any of the estate

At a meeting OF tho Governing Committee Of
