STILL ANOTHER U.G.l. STEAL 4?
CITY WILL HAVE TO PAY HUGE
PRICE TO GET BACK FORKS.

The SUM OF $40 900 600 VIII BE Demanded
Although Winston Says That Onl,

PHILADELPHIA May 29.-With the strik.
ing OF his flag by Durham to-day to the
Mayor and his forces, a temporary and un-
conditional surrender by the machine, the
political tension relaxed greatly. Durham
sent for his lieutenants and his ward leaders
to-day. After they had gone he sent out
his acknowledgment of defeat.
Il have advised all my friends that If
Mayor Weaver sends the appoint ments of
Col. Sheldon Potter to be Direct or of Public
Safety and A. Lincoln Acker to be Direct or
of Public Works to Select Council for con-
frmation they shall not vote against them,
said Durham,
John C. Winston, chairman of the Com
mittee of Seventy. has engaged three ex-
perts to go over the records of the L. G. |,
that are open to the public to ascertain just
how much that corporation has spent upon
the gas works since it secured its original
lease. Besides these. he says he has an
inside source of information. The L. G. /.
has announced that it will charge the city
exactly 500 600 900 to redeem the works in
1907. This charge will be for improvements
Winston declares that this new deal is
almost as infamous as the plan to plumber
the city just halted by Weaver. He de-
clares that he has positive EVIDENCE that
IS. 100000 is all that the corporation has
spent upon Improvements.
He says that in asking $50 10000 the
u. q. l. is seeking bonus that will repay
the company for its outlay OF IS, 600 600

years. In the interim the gas. lease
came up and Col. Byram voted for. it.
Not only did he vote for it. but he stood by
the ring against the bitter assaults OF his
constituents
Therefore it was decided to-day by the
G. A. r. and the arrangement committee
that Col. Byram couldn't lead the parade
The decision was conveyed to him.

Later he donned his uniform and went
to a school where he had been invited to
address the pupils as part of the Memorial
Day services. When he got there the com,
mittee would not let him talk The old
man sat down on the platform and cried.
Afterward they put him in cab and sent
him home very i'll.
Mayor Weaver to-day received a tele-

M'ADOO CLEARED SIDEWALKS.
GOT TWO COPS BUSY AT BROAD
WAY AND 42D STREET.
Men Stud, Ing Dope Sheets Blocked the
Way In Front Of Hotels. Cafes and
Theaters When Commissioner Passed
Special Detail to Keep Gro wd Moving

Commissioner McAdoo got of. a car at
Broadway ard Forty-second street about
8 O'Clock last night and walked down the
west side of Broadway In front Of the
Metropole and the Rossmore the sidewalk
was obstructed by persons studying dope
sheets under the electric lights, talking
learnedly of the ponies, and bowling to
women who showed a good deal of silk
stocking in passing.
The Commissioner found it difficult to
get through the crowd without taking to
the roadway. When he got to the Broad
way Theater at Forty-first street the crowd
was about the same. At Fortieth street,
in front of O'Rourke's. the sidewalk was
packed.
Policeman Steinmer of the Tenderlon
was scratching his ear with his nightstick
when Mr.. McAdoo tapped him on the Shout
der. He turned pale when he saw who
it was
What's your post" asked the Com
missioner.
why don't you keep the sidewalks
Gle arr he went on when Steinmeir told
him.
I'VE are doing the best we can, sir" said
You are not, said the Commissioner.
CURLY. "Come with me and III show you
you are not"
Roundsman McCulom of the Tenderloin
had heard of the Commissioners arrival
and hustled up. Mr.. McAdoo repeated
what he had said to the patrolman for the
information of the roundsman.
The three went up to the Rossmore. Mr..
McAdoo remained modestly in the back
ground while the uniformed men began
shooting away the sidewalk ornaments.
Many objected strenuously, insisting they
were guests of the hotel The excuse didn't
go down. They were informed they would
have to keep back of the stoop line or move
on. In ten minutes the sidewalk was clear
as gnawed bone.
The Commissioner departed with smile,
He sent word to Capt. Cottrell to post two

oughly abated.

PURSE SNATCHERS ON A CAR.
Boys Jump on FoOtboard. Get Womans
Purse and Vanish In Central Park Gloom.

Four boys jumped aboard northbound
car at Seventy-seventh street and Central
Park West last night and before the three
men passengers and the conductor knew
what they were up to. one of the boys had
snatched the purse of woman passenger
who said she was Mrs. Bond of 81 West
Nnety-eighth street. In the purse were
a gold watch and few dollars.
1t was an open car and the four youngs-
tiers jumped on the footboard. Mrs Bond
sat in a rear seat and the men passengers
occupied front seats. The conductor was
at the front of the car and, suspecting that
the boys might be purse snatchers, he made
for them. They we're of with their noo'!
before he got near them. The boys d,sap-
peared over the park wall.
The car was stopped and the men pas
sengers went after the boys, but lost them
in the darkness Mrs. Bond told the police
Of her loss.
