ditions In Oyster Bay. One Of the various

malls that they are in any way responsible
for the loss Of the book. The missing
record h document book which Town
Clerk Frank Mcqueen found had mys-
teriously disappeared whom he opened the
safe In the Town Hall last Monday morning.
The book has been in use since Amos N.

DR.. William j. Holland. director Of tho

up In the British Museum cast Of the origi-
nal diplodocus Carnegii, or antediluvian dino

Mr.. Carnegie himself and by James Brioe

putting the great sntediluvian monster

He also showed the British scien fists one

There were two trunksful Of them and
the custom inspector who looked over DR..
Hollands baggage insisted on examining
the trunks. DR.. Holland had understood
when he left New York that the bugs would
be permitted to repoee undisturbed In their
pasteboard boxes. The customs man
said the doctor would have to put some
sort Of valuation on the bugs II he did not
want them held up, and the doctor said
they were Of such Z nature that their value

that be was entitled to bring In anything

nitted.

GOTHAM HOTEL BILL VETOED.
The Governor says II Is "UnJustinable
Special Leyislauon."


ALBANY, ] no 3.-The Governor has We
toed Senator Sax bill, which aimed to
legs lie a bar In the Gotham Hotel. across
the street from the Fifth Avenue Presby-
terrain Church in New York city. In his
memorandum the Governor writes.
This bill, although general In terms,
is intended to permit tram, In liquor to be
carried on at the Gotham Hotel In the city
of New York within 200 feet OF the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian Church, without the
consent and against the opposition OF the
church society. It IL therefore a special
exception to the general rule prohibitln &
the tra ffic In liquor to be carried on in any
rsc e within the State within 200 feet Of .
cn urch without the consent Of tire church.
1T Ia probable that this hotel will in no
degree disturb the peace and good order OF
TIE neighborhood 1t Ia. however. in my
iud gment III wise to whittle away the safe
gus rds contained in the general law by epe-
cial exemptions. Last year an amen ment
was obtained which would have enabled
this hotel to do business with the consent Of
Il e church society. 1t was expected that
this pro vision would be sufficient, but the
church withholds It's consent, and now an
other effort is made to twist the law to meet
the C Sc.

size Of hotel ID no 9,,a OF its orderly
chara cter. II thst were 40 II would follow

Indlana's Governor Gets After Omcials

Indlana's Governor Cots After Omcials
Who Accept Favors From Railroads.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 3.-Gov. Han y
has followed his announcement that be
will cause prosecutions to be instituted
against public officials who accept railroad
passes by calling upon the railroads, through
the State Railroad Commission. to produce
the lists Of all persons in Indiana to whom
they have issued free transportation.
The law creating the new commission
is drawn to prevent the acceptance of
y=sses by public officers, and the Governor
has taken this means of learning who have
rasses and of bringing the matter to public
attention.
State officials have for several DAYS been
arprised in an unofficial way OF the Toss!ble
actnn of the commission, so as to have OPP
prtInity to get from under If they 50
choose, and although it is not a matter that
AIRY Of them will discuss, it is understood
that many took the hint and fastened
10 send back their passes to the companies.
Some Of the officials, however, who did not
ftleve that the commission would 60 to
the extreme Of issuing demand on the COM
panies for information have kept their an
mials.
Surprise is general that the oommi ssion
went to this extreme in pursuing the elusive
pass, and it is freely predicted that the rail-
road companies will blandly refuse to give
the informant on desired.
