Hill Makes Them Uneasy

Hill Makes Them Uneasy
Without any real intention of being
mean David 3. Hill is causing many
sleepless nights these days among the
members Of the Greater New York
Democracy. Mr.. Hill is the godfather Of
the organization, and, according to his
reports, his knees are weak and he has
refused to stand for it. Tonight David
B. goes on record. If he speaks at the
Sheehan dinner he will disprove all the
allegations of insincerity that have been
made against him. If he fukes and fails
to say a few words the Greater New
York Democracy will begin to know
where Hill is at.

received a check for 100000 from Andrew

ing. The money for the building, which
cost SIS, 900, was given by Mr. Carnegie
about three years ago. 1t has been in use
since September, and last Thursday night

the trustees of the institute.

gift is that it was sent without restric-

Shaw Jars Custom Officers
Obnoxious enforcement of customs laws
at the port of New York will probably
cease at an early day as a result of an
investigation by Leslie NJ Shaw, secre-
ldEy OIL u1e treasury TO WhOm the petit
ton received by the president from a
thousand or more women was referred
In deciding upon this investigation
Secretary Shaw has had to override the
old under officials of the treasury, who
have maintained that everything in New
York is all right.
This failed to convince the secretary
especially in view of the fact that during
the ten days he has been IN office his desk
has been literally deluged with protests,
petitions and complaints, which deal
with incivility, overcharge and tmpu-
dence, from reputable and influential
sources.
It is believed that the secretary will
make several changes in officials, as well
as in the manner in which the regula-
lions are enforced.
And Now Its an Express Trust
Rumors Of an express company trust
were again in circulation in Wall street
yesterday, and were made to explain
the big advances scored by the American
Express shares and continued strength
in the securities of the United States Ex

some quarters credence was given to a
report that a community Of interest plan
between the leading companies. more
extensive than now exists. was being
evolved.
