Reliance Seemed to Gain.

Little by little, almost imperceptibly, Re-
lance seemed to gain on her adversary. but
before she is on equal terms she must over
come l minute and 81 seconds time allow
ance.
Soon after the start the yachts ran into
drenching rainstorm. which. when passed,
left a calm which was only broken by q
faint and wavering wind.
Considering the conditions, the pace made
by the big racers was remarkable, but 1t
was apparent that unless the breeze i'm
proved considerably it would not take them
round the course within the time limit.
At y O'Clock the yachts were about four
miles due east of Monmouth Beach.

Of Illinois and Wisconsin, who had been

in another opinion. The two associations
were indicted by the special coal inyes-
tigating grand jury summoned in Janu-
airy. The decisions are important In the
disbanding Of the organizations OF deal
ers, and especially so because Judge Hor-
ton finds that the antitrust laws Of the
State are sufficient to warrant con -
lions. "In proper case a conyic''oh
may be sustained in this State for corr
spir ICY, under either the common law or
the get Of 1874, or the antitrust act OF
1891" Judge Horton says The aver
ments Of fact In the indictment are fully
sustained, and, in my opinion. the indlct'
ment is sufficient. Neither can the con
tention be approved that there is now
law in this State against a conspiracy
such as is set out in the indictment and
supported by the facts" Eighteen cor

Postmaster General Payne Wednesd ~
announced the summary dismissal Of
James r. Metcalf, chief of the money
order division. Mr.. Metcalf has been in
the employ of the department for the
last twenty-Qne years, most Of the time
in the money order division, Of which he
has been chief for several years. For
efficiency, honesty and integrity he has
had an enviabie record. The division
under his charge handles annually enor-
nous sums of money. last year the
amount of money orders reaching $780,
100000, and the loss through fraud has
been infnitesimally small.
Action in the case of Metcalf was
taken after President Roosevelt had been
consulted by Postmaster General Payne
and n full invp stigation of the case will
be made lster. The dismissal is the re-
suit Of aets of Mr.. Metcalf in opposition
to the bid Of Paul Herman Of Ruther
ford, n. j., the lowest bidder by $40. 900,
and IL f2-Jr Of the next highest bidder,
the Wynkoop. Hallepbeck. Crawford
Company of New York, of which Mr..
Metcalf's son is an employe. Mr.. Met
calf Indignantly denies being influenced
by ibis fact and claims that he was ac-
tsiated solely by his desire to see the
government best served.
In connection with the new develop
ments Postmaster General Payne made
public all the documents and reports of
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bri-tow bearing on the Tulloch charges
as they are known, The features of these
documents are:
Mr.. Payne In memorandum accompanying
the report says some of Tulloch's charges
are directed against the late President
Mckinley, who needs no defen7" and
against former Postmaster General 9TH,
who has replied for himself.
The report Of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow tells in detail how the
Inquiry was started at the time the Wash
ington postotiice was transferred from
Postmaster Millett to Postmaster Merritt.
Various exhibits are attached to the report
composing the results of Investigations by
inspectors showing that efforts were tnade
by Mr. Beavers and others to have ifregu-
larities overlooked, and that In one case
the names Of Perry s. Heath and of the
Postmaster General himself were used to
back up threats
The inspector, il Is shown, urged that the
responsibility for the many Illegal APP
poiutments, the payment OF two salaries
TO one and the same person. and the dis
buTsement Of thousands Of dollars for
which practically no service was per
formed. should be placed where 1t prop
erly belongs and the many abuses cor

MANY MILLIONS INVOLVED.
New York City TO Sue 700 Tenement
Owners.


Owners.
In New York suits are being prepared
in the corporation eounsels Office against
no less than 1000 tenement owners for
alleged violations Of sanitary clause of
the tenement house law. Expenditures
aggregating perhaps S10O00,000 hinge on
these suits Tenement house owners
have as a rule found no fault with the
provisions of the law. Now, however,
the first serious concerted attempt to
nullify provision of the tenement house
act is to be made.
All the alleged violations of the sani-
tary clause occur in structures built I'M
der the provisions of the old law, since
the socalled new law" buildings are
inspected so thoroughly as their CON
struction progresses that any illegal at
tempt on the part of a builder is straight
way detected and remedied.
But it is not the provisions relating
to light or air or a score of other impor-
tant regulations which have led to the
combination to fight the law; it is solely
a matter of sanitation.
Differences of opinion exist as to the
number of tenements against which vio-
lation is chargeable The property own
ers concerned estimate that no less than
1900 houses are affected, while the Ten
erlent House Commission places the
namber at about 6,000 Argument also
has arisen as to the cost of remedying
each case, the owners stating that it
would be about $1,000, while the Tene-
ment House Commission believes $1,000
to be liberal estimate.
From the viewpoint of the property
owner, 1000 houses each subjected to
an expenditure of $1,000 would mean to
them cost of $1S,Oo0,OOO The esti-
mate of cost made by the Tenement
House Commission il said TO be about
S6,000,000.
1t is contended by the MN who own
the tenement houses which are under
the ban Of the law that a change from
the sanitary conditions complained of
would involve a Useless expense, since
no more healthfulness might be obtained
/ thereby.
