GRUBER ATTACKS JEROME.
SAYS DISTRICT ATTORNEY SEEKS TO GET
AROUND THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE
BY EXCISE BILL

Albany, Feb. 25.-"Abe" Cfruber. OF New-York was
the principal speaker against the bill OF Assembly
man Bennett providing for local option by election
districts In cities, before the Assembly Excise
mttee this afternoon. He affirmed that election
district local option would be a great mistake. He
believed that the entire vote. and not a part OF
1t. should be counted any Sunday opening propo-
siton. He said
The present system is manifestly unfair and I'M
just Just long sell on Sunday
and another cannot. big loophOe for police black
mail is left open. District Attorney Jerome declares
that he is against hayseed legislation, so he comes
here with bill by which he seeks obtain open
saloons Sunday. He knows perfectly well that IL
promptly be voted down. He desires to get around
the will of the people. Legislation seeking to allow
voting by localities would work an Injustice.
Why, II New-York was to declare against an omen
saloon and Brooklyn to favor II there would
not be water enough in the East River float the
boats that would be required take the New
Workers across to quench their thirst
Mr.. Gruber asked by Chairman Knapp wbat
he thought of the bill OF Assemblyman Stevens
which prohibits the sale of liquor in any place where
music and dancing are carried on. He said:
don't think 1t good bill. 1t will not stamp out
concert nails. The average place in New-YorE
CITY where liquor is sold to the accompaniment Of

Assemblyman Newcomb asked the committee N
