be Brought Here to
Finish Sentence.

New York, Sept 20.-A New York
state detective will sail for Germany
within a few days to bring back to
this country Henry f. Hardy, who for
the last thirteen years has been the in
mate Of German prisons.
Hardy Is to be brought back to serve
an uneXpired term of twelve years in
the Clinton prison, from which he es-
capped in 1890. He is declared to be
one of the most clever bank thieves
ever known in this country After his
escape he is alleged to have robbed
two Canadian banks of $1,000, and was
next heard of IN Germany, living the
life Of an american millionaire" as
he was called at fashionable hotel
in Frankfort-on-Main. A Baden Baden
banker recognized him as man who
had stolen from his bank cash to the
amount of $4,000. He was at once
imprisoned by the German authorities
and his time Is now expiring.
Since Hardy has learned that he
would be brought back he has written
letters to the state superintendent of
prisons asking that he be allowed to
remain in Germany. The authorities
have refused to consider his petition.

STREETS LAID OUT
Statement By Clerk Reeves ON Work
Done For Ten Years.

Assistant City Clerk Francis Z.
Reeves has prepared for the depart-
ment of public work, statement
showing the number of streets laid
out within the past ten years, how
much Of the assessments levied for
damages has been paid in, the
amounts expended in each street, so
far as such thing is possible, and
the amount still due together with
the number Of liens fled The amount
of the damages, assessed on property
holders on these streets, amounts to
$95.593.63, and the total benefits paid
including liens and interest is $40 9645.-
rs. On this amount the interest
amounted to $75390. This leaves the
total amount of unpaid benefits S46,-
701.75. On the streets partially work.
ed, the total amount of the assess
ments laid was $50,S30.12 and the
benefits paid amounted to $33, 3,214. SO.
There are fifty-eight streets not en-
tirely worked or completed, and there
is over $4,000 in unpaid assessments
due the city because this work has
not been completed. These assess
ments cannot be collected until the
work has been done, therefore there is
no way Of securing this additional
amount for the city except by the ex-
pending of large amount Of money
to put these streets In proper condi-
ton. This amount the commissioners
estimated yesterday at about $780,
900.

United States Court Judge Assails Re
striction of One Nationality.
Wheeling, W. Va, Sept 20.-Tn the
United States court here yesterday,
Judge Dayton discharged from Gus
tody Yee Gee Yu, a Chinese laundry
man of this city, who had been indict-
ed for alleged violation OF the Chinese
exclusion act. 1t was shown that he
was a merchant in Boston before com
ing here and not a laborer. In giving
his decision Judge Dayton, who was
recently appointed to the bench after
having served ten years in congress,
said:
"It was largely a question OF pOlitl-
cal expedieney and TO meet the de-
mand OF the western country to shut
out the Chinese that the exclusion laws
were passed. We might as well admit
that some bad legislation gets upon the
statute books enacted by congress as
well as by our state legislatures.
There cannot be any questiOn-there

about the propriety and ! always felt
the necessity OF passing laws restrict
ing certain classes Of foreign imml-
grants. but I never could understand
why that restriction should be placed
upon the Chinese and not le placed
upon Italians. Siavak, Hungarian and
the south OF Europe labor lust as Oh
n0xiOus to this country as the Chinese.
And while these Chinese exclusion
laws are upon the statute hooks and

sank to their hubs. A crowd gathered
and broke three heavy ropes in their
efforts to help the horses.
Then the policeman had happy
thought. He sent messenger to an
amusement house nearby and asked
for the services of the performing ele-
plants. Four were hurried to the
scene in charge of their keepers. They
were harnessed to the side OF the
wagon and jerked it out of the mud
with indescrlbable ease while the
crowd cheered

PRINTERS, UNION WINS.

Albany. n. Y, Sept 20.-After a
weeks duration, the strike of the
union printers here for an eight hour
day has ended with the yielding of all
the employing printers. All have now
signed the agreement, which takes ef-
feet January /. 1906. and all the print
ers returned to work to-day.
Several of the employing printers
who had previously signed the eight
hour agreement had incorporated in
the document that the agreement
should extend for a period of year.
The agreement signed by the remain
ing employers contained no time limi-
tation, and there is collateral agree
ment whereby the printers agree not
to declare strike without thirty days
notice TO the employers, and the EN-
ployers agree not to order any lockout
without a similar notice to their men.

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 20-Prior to
the opening of the second days ses-
sion of the National Association of
Life Underwriters this morning, there
was much informal discussion among
the earlier arrivals at the convention
hall over the probable action of the
executive committee in regard to re-
solution calling for condemnation Of
irregular Insurance practices and the
punishment of the guilty. This reso-
luton which was introduced by J. J.
Raleigh OF st Louis, aroused a tiutter
of excitement among the delegates
and it was referred to the executive
committee only after various objec-
tions had been made and amendments
offered. 1t reads as follows:
Whereas, the public press, official
committees life insurance departments
and legislative inquiries have discos-
ed methods and practices in the man
agement of some life insurance COM
pantes, which if not criminal in their
nature, appear to be grossly irregu
lar and in violation of the principles
of the trust involved. and
Whereas, These disclosures threat
Ell to create in the minds of the unin-
formed, suspicious regarding the in
tegrity of management of all life in
surance companies and to bring the
business into general disrepute, be it
Resolved by the National Associa-
ton of Life Underwriters in cOnven-
ton assembled that we, the members
of this association who have been
chiefly instrumental in inspiring con-
tidence In the minds of policy holders
and In building up the magnificent
structure, life insurance, owe it to
ourselves and to those who have re-
posed confidence in us, to oppose those
influences which would tear it down;
to demand that, if crimes have been
committed, the criminals shall be pun
ished and that those who have vio-
lated their trust shall be deprived of
their trusteeship. We urge and in
sist that we are not willing to sup
port in the field misconduct in the
home offices. We oppose concealment
or evasion and demand such publicity
as will lead to a correction of abuses
wherever they may be found.
From members of the executive
committee to-day the impression was
gained that the resolution as present
ed was likely to be shelved by the
committee and that another resolution
similar in some respects in purpOrt
would be drafted by the committee
and reported. The meeting Of the ex-
| ecutive committee was set for u
o'clock and II was expected that the
new resolution would be presented
for adoption by the convention at the
opening of the afternoon session.
At the morning session which began
at 1890 an address was delivered by
S. II. Wolfe, consulting actuary, New
York. on "The Life Insurance Com
pany from the Examiners Stand
point" A discussion of five-minute
topics and an address of a technical
nature by Elmer Dwlggins of Des
Moines, Ia, occupied the remainder
of the morning session. The subject
of Mr. Dwiggins' paper was CORES
