self was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last night.
where he saw Colonel George W. Dunn Republican
State chairman. Nj Higgins is on his way home
from business trip in the Southern States.
Have you conferred with any one about the

Il have not" said he. Furthermore, am free
to say that am candidate for the office, and
would not accept it under any circumstances
Mr. Higgins was informed that Justice Jerome
had urged good government measures the re-
peal of the Raines law and the Sunday opening of
saloons, and he asked about the prospect Of
legislation along those lines. Mr. Higgins took his
time 10 reply. and then said:
dent suppose Mr.. Jerome is the only in the
State interested in good government AS they some
times say in this town, there are others. judge
that the Raines law in some respects be al
tered. impression is that the Christian peo
pie throughout the State will hold TO the view
that the Christian Sabbath should be day Of rest,
and not one OF debauch- I should Judge that any
change in the Raines law would have TO be very
carefully guarded in order 10 get through either

down by the Court OF Appeals on question ar!s-
ing out of suit brought by the Broadway Realty
Company compel the Commissioners Of Taxes
and Assessments to reduce the tax valuation OF
the Bowling Green Building, No. II Broadway
The decision does not compel the reduction OF the
valuation from S2,ooo0o0 to 81 600 asked bur
1t enables the company to introduce new testimony
in the suit for reduction. The proceedings were
begun in 1899, and in the following year Justice
Andrews. in the Supreme Court, decided against ,be
Corporation Counseis contention that the companv
should not be allowed to introduce evidence which
not laid before the Tax Commissioners when
the valuation was hxed The Appellate Division
later confirmed the decision OF Justice Andrews
and now the Court Of Appeals has settled thep point
In the companys favor. ~'s
The importance OF the decision Is said to lie In
the fact that property owners, who sue to Ia Va
their assessmsnts reduced viii not be limited to

There are said to be four hundred and ffty ofher

MURDER AND SUICIDE.

The real estate transfers yesterday included
one which recalled a tragedy which occurred in

President Voorhis of the Bureau OF Electlohs
told a Tribune reporter yesterday that IN Man
haitian and The Bronx 1900 voters had put
their marks under the Citizens Union emoleh
at the last nayoralty election, and o'oVo Ho'eis
had voted the Greater New-York Dehooi"o
ticket headed by the rooster.
.These figures" said President Voorhis are
conservative and can be accepted as approx
mately correct"

Ing petitions contained the names OF aoou'
25 coo voters" 1t suggested.
We'll. that organization fell short OF poihns
that many votes" said Mr.. Voorhis 1t is one
thing to get signatures, and another tnlng 10
get people to stand up and be counted. so 1ar
as the sixteen thousand Citizens Union voters
ara concerned should say that was an ou'o'ue
estimate of their voting strength because II
will be remembered that the leaders OF tnat or
ranfzation made earnest appeals to all its MEM
bers to vote under their emblem. so that the
organization might be perpetuated. Douptiess
many Republicans OF an independent turn VI
mind voted the Citizens Union ticket Go not
know that it will be easy to determine the exact
number of voters who voted under the various
emblems carrying the fusion nominees. as the
votes for the fusion candidates were bunched
in counting the returns on election night In
only few scattering districts did the Cltlzens
Union run independent ticket
When Borough President-eiect Cantor's atteh-
ton was called to the small apparent vote cast
for the distinctvely Greater New-fork Democ-
racy candidates. he said:
1t is likely that II all the rooster ballots could be
counted ii would be found that the total Woulu
approximate the number of names on our noHl-
mating petitions No doubt many voters, knowing wing
that Seth Low the man they wanted TO Vote
for for Mayor. marked the first column on the
ticket and that. OF course. was the tepubIlc. "a II

number Of ballots with the mark under the rooster
and our enrolled membership. II must De o"lnS III
part at least this circumstance.
President Voorhis of the Bureau of Elections yes
terday refused honor the request of the County
Clerk who sent for the police slips containing the
returns as received at Mulberry-st- headquarters
on Election night from the various precincts. The
messenger from the County Clerks Office said that
the slips needed in the canvaSsing of the vote
by the Board Of County Canvassers. Mr.. Noorhis
sent board his copies OF the certificates hled by
the canvassers in the election districts on the night
of election. He said that the police sllps Woud
remain sealed. and would be opened only on an
order of the court.

PUSHING THE CASE AGAINST HERLIHY.

indicted for neglect OF duty in falling to suppress

corder Cor sustained demurrer and dismissed
the Indictment The people appealed and the argu
rnent was on this appeal.
Assistant District Attorney Howard s. Cans ap
peared for the people he argued that as the charge
was neglect OF duty. it not necessary that the
names Of tho occupants the 1o9 alleged dsordery
houses specified in the indictment should be given
n the testimony whole should prove that there
hAt been neglect ot duty. 1t would be sufficient An
alternative this method would be 10s separate
indictments, which would certainly subject the de-
teusant to hardship. Decision was reserved.
