A PIPER SUNDAY IN BROOKLYN.
Thlrty.lve Arrests for violation Of tho
Excise Law.

Capt. Piper, the second Deputy Police
Commissioner. was in charge OF Brooklyn
yesterday, and he had let it be known that
the Excise law must be enforced. Some
of the captains didn't know how to act.
They were In fear that they might overstep
tho mark When one was asked what he
meant by this, he replied
why, Capt. Rooney. while in command
OF the Fulton street station, arrested a
dozen persons on Sunday for violating the
Excise law, and he was Immediately sus-
pended and charged with neglect Of duty.
and was then transf erred to Manhattan,
and last week was fined thirty days pay.
That is what we call Piperism. don't
want any Piper In mine, thank you. /
wish he would do as Chief Devery said he
would--shake OF his other arm In saluting
himself Piper is not a Republican, neither
is he anything else but a Tammany Demo-
crat. He's enforcing this Excise law 80 that
the people will kick and be against the Fusion
administration next fall He ought to be
transferred to the Street Cleaning Depart
ment, whence he came"
Up to 10 CLOCK last night the police
in Brooklyn had made thirty-fve arrests
for violations of the Excise law. In
the vicinity OF the Borough Hall every
saloon that was not bona tide Raines law
hotel was compelled TO close its doors at
midnight on Saturday and In some cases
patrolmen were stationed in front OF sa-
looms.

River, Hs "a special favorNto the secretary
Of tho Republican County Committee.
This courteous consideration Of the con-
venience and interests of the company In
question entailed an additional expense
to the city OF New York OF at least 500,
tug hire, to bring the cement to its proper
destination.
/ may give another striking example
Of the utter disregard OF the city's interests
recently displayed by the present Com
missioner OF Docks. The present NUM-
cipsl administration, IN spite OF its pre-
of extra long leases to private corporations
and TO giving out any leases without putting
them up at public auction, has recently
leased Pier "a. North River, for term OF
nearly thirty years to Gov. Odell,s Central
Hudson Steamboat Company. The Com
missioner Of Docks fixed the rental OF these the
valuable dockage facilities at $3l, i72
year, although the city Of New York has been
getting for many years an annual rental
Of $4,000 each from Piers 20 and %. and
despite the fact that Pier "a, which the
Governor obtained, is nearly 200 feet longer
than Pier %.
On a conservative estimate the loss
sustained by the city OF New York in this
transaction alone amounts to about $4,000.
The lease in question was secured, as Is
well known, through the personal efforts
of our enterprising Governor. who is the
treasurer and chief stakeholder in the
Central Hudson Steamboat Company. He
made repeated calls at the office OF the
present Dock Commissioner at Pier A,
North River, and it.was the day following
his final visit that his steamboat company
got a pier for $4,000 year less than lis
obtained for the adjoining one.
1t might be well at this point to remember
that the makeup of the directorate OF the
Central Hudson Steamboat Company is
rather interesting. It includes Reuben
H. Fox, secretary OF the Republican
State COMMITTEES; John Murray Mitchell,
former Republican Congressman; Albert
B. Boardman, Republican corporation
lawyer; Lucius N. Littauer, the Repub-
lican Congressman who at the present
time Is receiving much newspaper notice,
and Frank s. Witherbee, former Republican
National Committeeman for this State.
I might add that Mr.. Benjamin b. Odell,
ST., the father of our Governor. Is the
president Of the company.
In this connection I wish to say that an
inspection OF the records OF the Dock De-
partment from Jan. 1, 1893, to Dec. 81, 1901,
will prove that leases were neither granted
or renewed on terms calling for rentals
lower than the amounts previously paid
for the leased piers or bulkheads. In
almost every case the leases executed pro-
vided for the payment Of an increased rent
charge. As a matter OF fact, the city OF
New York received ~ per cent. more
revenue from the same piers and bulk
heads during the years have men
toned than under the present reform"
administration.

GOV. CU!MMINSS DENIAL.
Never Wrote That He Would Take the
vlce-Presidency.

DIES MONIES, Ia, July l2.-Gov. Cummins
denounces as an unqualified falsehood
the report that some one at Washington,
DC, has an autograph letter signed by him.
nd icating a willingness to accept a nomi-
nation as Vice-President. THE Washing
ton newspaper men never saw that pur-
ported letter from me- said the Governor
because there Is no such letter there or
elsewhere
The Governor surmises that the report
was started for the purpose Of inducing
him to commit himself in some manner
that would result In ultimate embarrass-
ment. The Governor has been sounded
repeatedly on the subject Of the Vice-Pres-
dency. It may be stated that without
doubt he would accept the nomination
IL rendered. although he does not believe
he ia seriously considered in that connection
for the reason that he has not the fortune
requisite TO the usual contribution to the
campaign fund expected from the running
mate OF the head OF the ticket His hear
is wrapped up In the idea of getting tariff
reform plank through the next National
Convention, and next to that he hopes
some time TO represent Iowa in the Senate
He does not. therefore, actually seek the
Vice Presidency.

ZIONIST MEETING BROKEN UP.
Socialist Discord silenced the Regular
Speakers, So They Quit.

The second meeting OF the reorganized
Zion Educational League, held last night,
was broken up by number of East Side
Socialist youths. In one form or another
the league has existed for more than year,
holding weekly meetings for speeches and
discussions IL ceased last week TO be
the mouthpieoe OF all New York Zionists
however, when a revolt" against it's
President, DIR. Richard Gottheil, resulted
In the formation of the New York Fedora
ton of American Zonists.
Last nights meeting was held at 81 Riv-
ington street and President Sonnenberg
opened 1t by saying that the formation Of the
new federation had not been revolt at
all
1T was started in accordance with the
wishes of Dr. Hertzel and the dictates Of the
Congress at Basic, he said. "A new fedora
ton may always be formed when the 5000
members of fifty societies wish to unite in
one. Indeed, the Congress rather approves
OF such acts as fostering healthy rivalry
A Russian poet, Ezekiel Leavitt. read
q paper in Yiddish on -Zionism and the
Ten Commandments" He treated his
subject from a purely historical point of
view, telling OF the Egyptian origin of the
Hebrew laws, their slight subsequent
mOdlQCaJlOnS diNl lHc BTede permanent
social truths they embody.
Hardly had he finished when half dozen
Young men started up from various parts
Of the hall, shouting questions at him
President Sonnenberg and other legitimate
members of the league were finally able
to quiet all save two. These pushed their
way to the speakers table.
aDo YOU believe in personal God?" DO
YOU think that because God did us favor
several Thousand years ago, We ought to
continue to be thankful" they demanded
simultaneously.
Then they began so rapid an elaboration
OF socialstio and nihilistic theories that
the president gave up pounding on the
table with his gavel, the secretary ceased
to take notes. and the legitimates even got
tired OF trying to shout the intruders down.
IL was after II o'clock when in despair
Of getting a chance to continue the meet
ing. the audience broke up As they were
going one legitimate member attempted a
defense Of the commandments, but was
shouted down
The other speaker on the programme,
DR.. Joseph Self, a prominent New York
Zionist, didn't get chance to speak at all.

SIR THOMAS AT A CLAMBAKE.
Atlantic Yacht Club Adds to His List OF
American Experiences.

After having shot the chutes, made trips
to the moon and INDUCED in all the other
designations of Coney Island. Sir Thomas
Upton added to his store of American
experiences by attending the clambake
OF the Atlantic Yacht Club at Sea Gate
yesterday. 1t was his first experience
with this peculiarly American institution,
and he entered into the fun and feasting
with the enthusiasm that he puts into
everything from racing for cup to telling
q story.
The Atlantic Yacht Club members turned
out in force to meet Sir Thomas and the
committee of arrangements had attended
to every detail necessary to the success
OF the entertainment. Even the weather
was in favor Of the affair until about 3
o'clock, and then the rain began TO fall,
but the feast had been put away by then
and all hands were glad to get under cover
and show Sir Thomas the beauties of the
clubhouse.
Sir Thomas had to leave early to keep
an engagement, but before his departure
ne remarked that he had had so many
pleasing and novel experiences on this
trip that he felt justified in believing that
the run would keep up and that he would
carry the Cup back to England with him.
Sir Thomas Upton and party from the
Erin were entertained at breakfast yester-
day morning by MIR. and Mrs. Henry Siegel,
at their home, Driftwood, Orienta Point.

sixth street went on a picnic UP the Sound
yesterday on the steamer Valley Girl and
two barges. On the way fight started
and Capt. Wilson Of the Valley Girl tele-
phoned from the picnic grounds on Cow
Bay to Police Headquarters.
"There'l be more trouble when we are
coming back" he said. They're fighting
here now
When the Valley Girl and her barges got
TO Port Morris ON the way back last night
they were met by Capt Dean and ten men
Of the harbor police in rowboat
There was no fight among the Marion men
but the police boat accompanied the club
down as far as the pier at East Ninety-flrst
street, just the same. There the crowd
met the reserves Of the East Eighty-eighth
All the scrappers went home by train,

crowd to the police.

ment store on Saturday afternoon.
The excursionists had chartered the
Starin steamer Richmond, and a barge.
and no sooner had the boats left the West
i29th street pier for Boynton Beach, N. j.,
than the gamblers started their games in
the most open manner.
Before the games had gone on many
minutes there were objections by members
OF the committee in charge and the gamblers
retired to private room. When Boynton
Beach was reached at $50 o'clock in the
evening. business in the open was again
resumed On the way home the games
were again run openly.
A member of the committee said yester-
day that they were afraid to use force to

quarters this was said TO be the largest

just why so many arrests were made. or
why the police had developed such activity
in enforcing the law concerning the Sunday
selling OF liquor. nobody at Headquarters
could or would say. Somebody said that
the 1872 excise arrests made In Manhattan
alone might have been due to word coming
from Major Ebstein, who was left in charge
Of the department by Gen. Greene when he
went away few days ago.
Brooklyn people said that the IS Brooklyn
arrests--a high number, II not the highest
for that borough-might be laid TO the

Capt. Piper's mark The Brooklyn cops
have learned a thing or two about Capt
Piper.

UnnecessariIy-N0 Truth in IL. IA

UnnecessariIy-NO Truth I'm IL. "a
Some commotion was created at yes
terday's meeting of the Central Federated
Union among the German and Jewish
delegates by the announcement by Emil
Haas, delegate Of the Walters Union, that
the manager Of well-known picnic ground
had refused to employ four union walters
because they were Jews. Haas said that
the manager, who has agreed to employ
only union walters, sent back four walters
out OF fifteen on this ground. As matter
of fact the men were not Jews at all.
There were loud protests, especially
from the Socialists, against this alleged
discrimination, and James Holland, the
chairman, said with some indignation;
"One OF our cardinal principles is that
we do not recognize in trade unionism
any distinction Of race, class, color, nation
atty or creed.
II was decided to send the Arbitration
Committee To ask the manager to explain.
He told THE SUN reporter over the tele-
phone later that he had made no such dis
tinction as described, but had sent the four
walters back because, from their expert
ence, they were unsuitable.

In great detail the story Of the strike Of the
twenty-four men in his organization in

the rapid transit contractors might say
he had shown them conclusively that the
$3.50 day the pipe calkers demanded
was the prevailing rate OF wages
"Why, I told them that six bosses were
paying $3.50 a day." he continued. "but
they wouldn't listen 10 me. So we could
do nothing but strike"
Gleason, another delegate Of the Pipe
Calkers' Union then asked the c. F: U.
to direct that none Of its union men would
work with nom union calkers. Neither
he nor Quinlan referred to their unions
