attempt to blow up the house of Reese

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

~. o. Ednunds' melodrama Midnight
IN Chinatown" is Nhe attraction Wednes-
day at the Crawford This is the third
season for this production, it having
played very successful season of 73
weeks ending last March. From New
York to Denver a succession of big weeks
were in evidence and the play is said to
the year.
Like several of Clyde Fitct's plays,
Lovers Lane" which William A. Brady
presents with fine cast and scenic equip
ment at the Crawford on Thursday, is q
satire, leveled not against the foibles of
fashionable society as in 1.-The Climbers
and THE Moth and the Flame" but
against the peculiaritieS of social and
church life in a small town The central
figure IS young clergyman of more than
ordinary liberal views, who is virile and
full blooded and has the courage of his
convictions He also has well defined
IDEAS as to what amusement should be
devised to keep the younger members of
his flock out of the reach of temptation,
and his house is refuge for the de-
pressed of every kind.

CYCLISTS APPEAL TO CANTOR
WANT GOOD STREET SIGNS AND IN
SPRINKLED ASPHALT STRIPS.

EX-Police Magistrate Charles z. Simms yes
terday called on Borough Presdent-eect Cantor
as the representative of the Automobile Club of
America, the Good Roads Association and the
League of American Wheelmen to urge Mr..
Cantor to take prompt action, as soon as he
becomes President of the Borough with refer
ence TO putting up street signs at all the inter
secting streets in the Borough of Manhattan.
Mr.. Simms tod Mr. Cantor that the organiza-
tions named wanted plain signs so that the
lettering could be read from swiftly moving
cars, automobiles bicycles He said that II
was generally believed by the wheelmen that
signs the corners of buildings would not fill
the bill.
Mr.. Simms asked Mr.. Cantor to provide
ordinance. if necessary, TO keen heavily laden
trucks off the asphalt strips which are some
times laid in block paved streets for the benefit
of the wheelmen. and also have the street
sprinklers refrain from sprnkng these asphalt
strips in the daytime. He said 1t the desire
of the wheelmen and others to have the asphalt
pavement swept in the daytime in order to
keep the dirt and dust out of the way but wet
ting down the asphalt as it is done now in the
daytime was highly objectiona bic. He sug-
gested that if the asphalt could be merely
sprinkled. it ought to be, it would be all
right to have it done in the daytime, but if 1t
had to be flushed thoroughly soaked 1t
should be done late at night Mr.. Cantor told
Mr. Simms that his suggestions would be taken
under consideration.
Mr.. Cantors attention called to a para
graph which said that he contemplated the
cutting up of the Council Chamber into com
mittee rooms. That would be act of van
dalism." said Mr. Cantor Nothing of the kind
is contemplated. The Council Chamber will be
used for public hearings. l would not be right
to cut Il up for Offices"
Mr.. Cantor will announce the staff of school
inspectors provided for by the new charter
within a few days. 1t learned yesterday
that he had decided to test the public spirit or
many prominent citizens by appointing them in
spectors There is no salary attached to the

Rochester N Y, Dec. 21.-The interest ex-

1t is the subject of public and private comment
TO degree unprecedented by any public utter
anCe for many years. The most slgnlncanI
statement so far made comes from James NJ. E.

The recent election in New-York had as one
of it's issues what is called local option. Inc
fusion party won. and IS per cent of the fusion
vote being Republican our party must face the
issue fairly There can be vote for local op-
tion without an enabling act being passed by the
Legislature. Will the legislature pass the neces-
sary law? Why should they not? Is this not a
government of the majority? 1t has been said
that the upstate rural vote in the legislature
is opposed to local option. l do not believe 1t
1t is certainly not so in Monroe County and
inquiries that [ have made lead me 10 beLeNe
that the upper part of the State will be only too
happy to help Seth Low to solve the greatest
problem he has contend with Almost all the
corruption that has grown in that city re-
suits from the permission given to the un-
scrupulouS to violate the Liquor Tax law. Local
option in the matter of Sunday selling will do
away with most of this corruption. If the peo-
pie vote for Sunday selling the excuse now
pleaded often by the offender Will be taken
from him. and if they vote in favor of Sunday
selling the rule of the ajority should govern in
New-York well as in the towns in the coun-
try districts where the majority determines
whether there shall be license issued or not.
1t is asserted in some quarters that there Will
be no legislation at Albany this winter on this
subject Such a course will be deplorab BILE, and
the refusal to carry out the promise of the New
York mayoralty campaign will be felt 1t seems
to me- in the vote of that city in next falls elec
ton.
Mayor George A. Carnahan says that in his
opinion the question of Sunday opening should
be left local option in every city of the State.
Commissioner James d. Casey of the Depart
ment of Public Safety, is of the opinion that
Sunday opening should he left to popular de-
cison. and that some change should be made in
the present law at once.
