GERMAN CLUBS PROTEST.
The Brooklyn Police Commissioners
Ruling Arouscs Anger.

NEW YORK, April 4.-Deputy Police
Commissioner York, of Brooklyn, has
written to the officers of the United Ger
given special instructions that no arrests
should be made for dancing after mid
night on Saturday night, except in cases
where the excise law was violated in con-
nection Herewith. The arrests were to
be made for the excise violation and not
for dancing.
Mr.. Yorks crusade against the dance
halls has aroused considerable opposition
among the Germans. who contend that it
is an invasion of their personal rights.
The Democratic managers have also re-
ceived warning that unless the order Is
modified considerably it may have an in
furious effect on their campaign next
fall
Today John W. Weber, who is a Dem
ocratic State committeeman and one Of
the new bridge commissioners, visited the
Democratic headquarters and had a talk
with James Shevlin on the matter. He is
said TO have protested against the arbi-
trary actions of Mr. York in placing such
legitimate clubs as the Arion and Lieder-
kranZ on par with the common dance
halls and to have declared that if Mr.
York was not called down" the Demo-
cratic county ticket would be slaughtered
at the next election.
Herman Sherman, the brewer, also Wis
tied the Democratic headquarters on
similar mission.

WANT RECEIVERS APPOINTED.
Two san Domingo Companies Cited
to Answer April 15.

NEW YORK. April Through an or
der just returned by Vice Chancellor Pit
ney in Newark, the San Domingo I'M
provement Company and the San Domin-
go Finance Company must show cause
in Jersey City April 10 why receiver
should not be appointed for each COM
pany The order was secured by Arthur
r. Denman on behalf of the German
American Investment Company, and was
sought on the ground of alleged insoi-
vency All three companies were incor-
porated in New Jersey and have offices
in this city.
The present officers of the German
American Company are: Otto Gericke OF
Hoboken. President, and William b. Dew
ey, Treasurer and Counsel The latter Is
said TO be a cousin of Admiral Dewey. 1t
is declared in the bill that the officers OF
the two defendant companies are the
same They are Smith NJ. Weed Of
PIattsburg, N Y. President; Charles w
Wells. Vice President; Willard Brown,
Treasurer, and Irvine D. York, Secretary
The last three are of New York.
According to the bill of complaint the
purposes of the German-American Com
pany were the Investment Of funds and
other financial transactions. and that
shortly after it's Incorporation the San
Domingo Improvement Company was or
ganized with an authorized capital OF
s.. 600 coo, which was subsequently reduced
to 81. 100000. The purposes Of the company
were among other things, the exploiting
of certain grants and concessions in the
Republic of San Domingo, as well as the
construction of d railroad from Puerto
Plata to Santiago. Later the San Domin-
go Finance Company was incorporated
with practically the same purposes. Its
capital stock. as authorized. was Sl,e00.Vo.
The bill was fled on the issuance of the
rule that these three men. VINO are the
directors of the two corporations having
the concessions. have hypothecated the
assets of those companies and withheld
the payment of interest on Government
scrip. so that an investment OF S2JO,VD
made by the C;erman-American Company
is likely 20 be a total loss.
In PRAYING for relief the bill asserts
that in confessing judgment 10 the con
struction company the defendants are not
only unIawfully and secretly preferring
creditors but are impeuiiinS their own
and the complainant's rights and are
bankruptinS themselves

TO DRAW HOMESTEADS BY LOT
Il Novel Suggestion by Land Com
missioner Hermann.

In forthcoming report on the pro-
posed opening of the Hiowa, Comanche,
Apache, and Wichita reservations, In Ok
lahoma, to settlers Commissioner Her
mann. of the Land Office, will suggest
novel plan for settlement which will. it
is believed, in a great measure do away
with the rush and jam in the territorial
land offices. Mr. Hermann will urge that
Il 000 quarter sections be drawn for be-
fore the proclamation opening the land
is promulgated. He will suggest that the
papers of the successful applicants be
filed in the proper offices before the lucky
person takes actual possession of the
land.
The manner in which the drawings are
to be made, if the plan is adopted, will
give every applicant an equal chance for
desirable claims. map of the reser-
vations is to be hung in the office of the
Register of the Land Office when the
drawing occurs, each of the 1900 sections
being designated by number. Then the
applications are TO be removed from the
envelopes in which they came to the Of
flee and placed in another envelope with
out mark of any kind.
When a sufficient number of applica-
tions have been thus disposed OF the en-
tire lot is to be deposited in large metal
cylinder, which revolves easily, and the
papers are to be thoroughly mixed. Then
a clerk, with his eyes bandaged, is to
draw out the papers. one at time. The
first paper drawn will be opened and the
applicant fling it will be given the first
quarter section on the map. His name
will be marked on the map and five other
records will be kept of the drawing by
as many clerks. The second paper drawn
will entitle the applicant filing 1t to the
second section, and so on until the entire
lot has been disposed OF
The plan Is proposed by Commissioner
Hermann because in the last Congress
bin was passed authorizing the Presi-
dent and the Secretary of the Interior
to devise some means to do away with
the runs that have been so disastrous
in times past at the opening of unoccu-
pied public land 10 homestead seekers

C. B. & q. CONTROL CHANGING.
Hoston Directors Puzzled by Late
Movements In the stock.

BOSTON. April A member of the
Burlington Executive Committee said to-
day that the directors are powerless to
prevent control of the corporation from
going to New York. There is no question,
he says, that the buying is for control. Up
10 the present time, he further stated di-
rectors are ignorant of the plan. Boston
feels, however, that it has lost control of
Burlington, and large stockholders are
free in admitting It, adding that the terms
of sale will be favorable. It Is generally
thought the stock will figure in the deal a
220 Whereabouts. and advices to large
stockholders from New York tend to en-
courage this view.
The deal, however, is a New York deal
pure and simple. II is impossible to get
anything definite from Burlington direc-
tors here. save the admission that control
is sought and Is likely to be obtained. All
the so-called insiders" among stockho!-
ders here simply repeat the New York
stories that the deal is in progress.
The directors deny that any offer for
stock or control has been made and they
speak truthfully, as no official offer has
been made. But control is obtainable In
other ways, and 1t is considered that the
tape tells the story. Directors simply will
not talk, because officially they have moth
ing 10 say, not knowing or participating in
a deal that is working out In New York.

clude that whatever Christian convic-
tion had been brought to the Chinese
mind must have been very thoroughly
wiped out by the circumstances TO
which We have alluded, and which could
not be treated in fun in the columns Of
a decoroJs family newspaper. Can 1t
be true then, that Christianity, like
beauty, is in these days only skin deep?
Are the soldiers Of nations which blazon

decorate the breasts Of their officers, no
better when they find themselves in

him to head the ticket he consented to do
so. Since that time he has been men
toned as Presidential timber on the Dem

kind of a record he makes as Mayor of
Cleveland.
A public man must stand on his rec
ord. His record may be good today and
get smashed tomorrow. Tom must stand
on his record. SO far it is good. He and
his platform have promised certain mu-
nicipal improvements in Cleveland. If
the promises are kept it viii be to his
