his native State. New York. which. he said.

Low is GOING TO SEE ODELL.
DOUBTLESS THEY WILL TALK
POLICE AND EXCISE TO-DAY.
Msyor-T,Iect Proposed the visit-Had Such
Custom When He Was Mayor OF
brooklyn BidweIl Calls On
MIR. LOw-president Morris Ton

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Bidwell Calls On
MIR. Low-President Morris. Too.
Seth Low will go TO Albany on tho Empire
State Express this morning for talk with
Gov. Odell, whom he has an engagement
TO meet at noon. He will come back to-
night and resume business tomorrow at
his Twenty-third street headquarters.
The Governor and tho Mayor elect will
talk about great many things said
Mr.. Low yesterday. but he declined to be
moro specific as to what the conference.
which he suggested, was TO be about.
It's a guess. however, that everybody
about the various political headquarters
will subscribe to, that Gov. odell and Mr..
Low viii devote the greater part Of their
time together TO discussing the excise ques-
ton and the Polloe Commissionership. The
Governor Is personally int rested In the
latter problem because his State Commits
sioner OF Public Works. Col Partridge,
is a very strong probability for bead Of the
Police Department.. Col. Partridge is a
valuable officer to the State Administration
just where he Is.
Although Mr.. Low VIII say nothing about
his plans. no declares daily that he stands
by what he said in his letter Of acceptance
on the excise question. That Is. he IL In
favor OF a law liberal enough to suit the
needs Of a cosmopolitan town like this.
Gov. Odell feels the same way about 1t
and the two will probably outline some
working plan to-day TO try to bring about
the desired changes In the law.
Mr.. Low was asked what he would do
about the enforcement OF the present Sum-
day law between Jan. 1. when he Is In
augurated and such time as theLegislature
may be it to make a change. He said that
he did not care to make any forecasts.
Mr.. Lows own explanation OF his visit
TO the Governor was that he believed that
social and political touch with the Chief
Executive OF the State.
For that reason,' he added, y am going,
as the Mayor-elect. 10 pay my respects to
the Governor. That was my custom when
! was Mayor Of Brooklyn and shall do the
same now
Mr.. Lows last caller yesterday afternoon
at the Twenty-third street headquarters
was Collector Bidwen. Mr.. Bdwell said
that there was not the slightest political
significance In his call-that he had just
dropped In TO pay his respects.
Among the other callers at Mr.. Lows
headquarters yesterday were Robert O.
Morris, President Of the Republican County
Committee; Joel B. Erhhrdt and II. Fulton
Cutting chairman Of the Citizens Union.
Bob Fitzsimnons went TO the head,
quarters, too. but as there were several
other callers ahead Of him, he didn't wait
TO congratulate Mr.. Low Another caller
asked Mr.. Low TO use his influence to have
the City Hall moved from Its present eite
up TO i55th street. because the influences
OF Park row and lower Broadway. he said.
are too corruptinR.

West Point, Jan. l9.-The COMPRESSION
al Investigations of the West Point mill
tary academy have borne fruit rather
unexpectedly. Tonight, when the con
gressmen were hurrying their inquiries
to IA termination, the cadets OF all four
classes held u meeting in Grant hall and
unanimously decided to abolish haZing
of every form, as well as the practice of
calling out the fourth class men. This
is exactly what Gen. Dick and the other
members of the congressional committee
have been trying to impress on the ca
diets who have testified before as the
only course open to them il they desired
to see the fair name of the United States
military academy unsullied and above
%reproach.
The commission was addressed to
Superintendent A. l.. Mills, who return.
ed from Washington this afternoon, and
he quickly brought it to Gen. Dick.
The committeeman are delighted at the
action of the cadets. and Gen. Dick, in
a few words, said hal they would all &c
back to the house of representatives IN
the belief that the spirit and letter of
the agreement would be firmly adhered
to by the cadets, who made it volun,
tarily.
