DEADLOCK OYER VENDERs' FEES.

Municipal Assembly sQnnbhIes. city Loses
Msney, PeddIorH Are Nabbed by DOEenG.
The deadlock between the two branches of the
Municipal Assembly Is likely TO manifest itself
again to-day at the meeting OF the Board OF AL
dermen, when tho ordinance for fixing licenses
for vendors. pushcart peddlers. fruit and boot.
black stands, as amended by the Council, will
come up for consideration.
The original ordinance was passed by the Al
dermen two months ago, but the Council
amended 1t, making n general reduction OF the
license fees. To this schedule the Aldermen
have refused to agree, and as n result the ped
dlers are doing business without licenses and the
city Is losing fees at the rate Of 800, 900 a year.
The Tammany leaders in the Board of AL
dermen declare that, there will be no compro;
mise. They insist that tho Mayors Marshal
has tho right TO issue licenses under the old
rate. The Marshal, however, refuses to do it.
In the meantime the police are daily arresting
peddlers by the score and congesting tho pro-
ceedings in the Centre Street Court and the
Essex Market Court. Several CITY MaRis-
trates have forcibly objected, but unless the
deadlock IL broken to-day the arrests will con-
tinue.

LETTER NOT U OF TROUBLE.
Tho Losses Seem Filing Up on Him Despite
His Armour Deal.

His Armour Deal.
CHICAGO. Ill, June 20.-Outsido holders of
cash wheat in the Northwest, including Peavy,
came to the city to-day, and the statement has
been circulated that practically all the wheat
in tho visible supply of the country will be in.
volved in the Armour-Leiter deal. A recon-
~ciliation is said to have been effected between
Letter and PeaVy. who was regarded as one of
the leaders of the movement to break the mar
ket In the Northwest which precipitated tho
Letter failure.
When Armour took hold Of tho deal tho bull
fish fever rose, and 1t was said confidently hat
wheat would go up Immediately and that n re-
covery was certain. On last Monday June wheat
sold 10 cents higher than it was quoted to-day.
This loss falls upon L. T.. Letter. who stands in
the gap. Another source OF loss TO tho Letters
Is the persistent rumor from across the water
that foreigners are refusing the wheat Letter
rejection, hut in each case there appears
wheat coming back to him In great
quantities. The sale of options this week which
were controlled by Letter is another item Of loss
with a declining market Since the high market
Gle has declined $1.lO a bushel, showing losses
aRgregating at losst s., 100000 to Letter.
At Letters Office the reports that there Is
some treachery In the deal are Indignantly
denied. Armour is credited with having given
every support TO the market. In fact is Is said
present quoted had it not been for tho timely
aid afforded by Armour. The new bumper"
crop looms up too closely TO permit any nanipu-
lation with the present cash wheat stock.

Coroners' Physician Hamilton Williams re-
turned to town yesterday. much to the relief of
the officials in the District Attorneys Office,

Williams was an important witness in the trial
of Levi Pullison. the negro who is accused of
strangling his white wife. Kate Shea, and the
proceedings had to be adjourned on Friday be-
cause of his absence.
1t was said at the Coroners' office that DIR.
Williams. who had a week of. had gone to Sara

Of his messengers there to find him. They could
get no trace OF him. however, and yesterday
morning 1t looked as II the trial would have to
be adjourned again. DR.. Williams turned up at
the Coroners' office at II o'clock in the fore
noon however. He said he had been to Lake
George and was in ignorance OF the commotior
his absence was causing until he read OF it in
the newspapers.
In the afternoon he testified to the autopsy on
tho Shea woman. A witness for tho defence
was missing, however,, and the case was again

missioner Of Sewers James Kane was exam
ined before Justice Maddox in the Supreme
Court in Brooklyn yesterday regarding the

all of whom are identified with the Brooklyn

paying Contractor George Cunningham 1915
FOR each basin cleaned. while prior to Jan. l last
only Sl.l0 was paid for the same work.
Commissioner Kane said that under the char

higher than that previously paid. but explained
that it Is now. necessary for tho contractor TO
take the dumpinSs four or five miles out to sea.

sewer basins moro economically according to

Complaint Clerk Daniel T. Vancouver testi-
fled that about thirty sewer basins were

a Unlon Seminary Candidate for the suInIstry
= HeIa Up ~ the PresbytorS.

The dootrinal differences at present ngitatlne
the PRESBYTERIAN Church cropped out yesterday
at n meeting Of the New York Presbytery and
resulted in the rejection OF a candidate for the
ministry who was up for examination. At the
meeting last week two candidates, Julius A..
Bower and William II. Bebb, wero examined as
to their motives in entering the ministry, but
because OF the pressure OF business at that
meeting the examination for licenses to proach
had to go over until yesterday. The oxamina-
tlon lasted hvo hours. Tho fact that both can
didates como from Union Theological Seminary,
whence alleged h~orotical doctrines have ems-
mated. caused unusual care 10 be taken in pass
ing upon their eligibility. They woro examined
in Hebrew. Greek, Church history. theology,
Church polity. and tho sacrainents.
Mr.. Bower passed in al the subjects and was
licensed to preach. Mr.. Bebb passed in all OK
cept theology. In answo to n question regard
ing the Bible he said that in tho matter of in.
spiration he believed, in 1t, but in matters OF
general history not relating to religion he was
not sure the Bible was correct. lie refused to
believe the Jonah and the whale story, The
oIoEy, but an amendment was offered rejecting
him. When the vote was taken the Moderator

announced to stand 20 TO 90 in favor Of tho
amendment. A committee was then appointed
to counsel with the young man and cndcavor to
change his Views. The committee consisted OF
the Moderator, DR.. Shaw, DR.. Gregory and Elder
Booth.
Speeches were made by Dr.. Sutton, DR.. Shear
or, DR.. Douglas. and DR.. Sample, all Of whom
were strongly opposed to admitting Mr.. Bebb
unless u change In his views was effected. We
have certain points " faith and we have a con-
meeting, and wo hold that to belong to our
Church ono must uphold them. At the same
time we acknowledge a man TO DO q Christian
although he differs from us, and we advise him
to join other dononiina tons where his Views
may be practicod." Another, member said that
"unfortunately Mr.. Bebb had imbibed some Of

William J. Rodgers moved before Justice
Pryor OF the Supreme Court yesterday that
Comptroller Coler be compelled by mandamus
to pass upon the sureties on q bond to perform q
contract to grade Woodlawn road from jerome
avenue to Bronx Park. The Comptroller has
refused to take any steps to carry out the con-
tract, holding that it Ia illegal.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Blandy. in op-
posing the motion. stated that 1t was one of
those 31st day of December contracts which
were rushed through to avoid the charter. He
made the point that the bids had not been
opened by Louis f. Haffon, Commissioner of
Street Openings and improvements In the
Twenty-third and Twenty.fourth wards. al
though tho statute required him TO open them.
He said the bids had been opened by Joseph p.
Hennessy. secretary to MI. Haffon. In reply it
was stated that Mr.: Haffen had subsequently
approved the bid Of Rodgers. as IT was the low
est, aud that tho opening of the bids was done
by Haffen when 1t was done by his secretary.
Mr.. Blandy said that Commissioner Haffcn Is
not an armless man who can delegate the open

that tho Comptroller should be upheld In his
