Authority Breaks Out Anew.
The second suspension Of j. j. De Long
from his privileges as a member Of the
Crescent Athletic Club Of Brooklyn after
his first suspension had been get aside by
a decision Of Supreme Court Justice Kelly
has stirred up considerable controversy
In the organization and 1t Ia expected that
q general meeting OF the club will be called
at an early date to consider the matter.
On the evening OF May % Mr.. De Long
had q dispute with one OF the walters at
the Bay Ridge clubhouse over the reserving
OF seats in the dining room for himself,
wife and a friend, and later on he was
charged by President Charles M. Bull with
conduct detrimental to the best interests
OF the club by creating disorder in the
dining room. After hearing the govern
ing committee ordered the suspension Of
Mr.. De Long for three months. from June
a. At the subsequent proceedings before
Justice Kelly for the reinstatement Of
Mr.. De Long no objection to the granting
Of the writ was offered.
. On July ii however, the alleged disorderly
scene in the dining room on May 20 was
reopened before the governing committee,
and the further charge was made that Mr..
De Long shook his clenched fist In the
refractory walters face. After a pro-
tracted session, the committee decided to
again suspend Mr.. De Long for three
months beginning July IL. II a general
meeting Of the club Ia not called to review
the action OF the governing committee
Mr.. De Long may again apply to the Su-
preme Court for relief.

: Gov. Higgins declared that he thought
Senator Stevens was mist taken In this con-
nection He said that there would have
the expenses Of the present extra session,
but he would have to send message to
the legislators to provide for its con-
sideration, and another message, an emer
gency message, to provide that it be passed
without having been printed.
The Governor was asked II he had been
spoken to by Senator Stevens or by others
10 an endeavor to change his attitude.
He said he had not been. Then he said:
Il want it to be understood that while the
Governor is at all times ready to be advised
and to advise with others on any such
legislative matters he is not to be dictated
to by any man or set Of men,
The Governor said he did not mean to
create any false impression to the effect
that any one had sought to dictate to him.
To an inquiry as to whether it might not
be necessary later to ask the Legislature
to enlarge the powers of the State Super
intendent of Insurance SO as to make 1t
possible for him to examine such directors
of the Equitable as Edward H. Hartman,
evc1 thon~h M. Hartman had resir-ed,
and 80 could not now lie cached, the Gov
ernor said he thought some of the power
which theSuperintendent might lack in this
regard was already lodged in the District
Attorney.
aWhen the time comes that power to in
vestigate is lacking said the Governor,
that will be the time for action and will
act There Is time enough yet, and We
desire, as have said, to get fully informed
first"
In response to question whether he
was not getting many letters asking him
to submit the Equitable situation to the
Legislature the Governor said he was re-
ceiving many letters, but that few were
of that kind.

GRAPE.NUTS.

Change of diet Is the only way to really
cnre stomach and bowel trouble.
A woman says:
my husband had dyspepsia when we
we're married. and had suffered from it for
several years 1t was almost impossible
to find anything he could eat without bad
results.
Il thought this was largely due to the
use OF coffee and persuaded him to dis
continue it. He did 80, and began to drink
Postum Food Coffee. The change did
him good from the beginning-his diges-
ton improved, he suffered much less from
his nervousness, and when he added Grape
Nuts food to his diet he was soon entirely
cured.
my friend, Mrs. - -, Of Vicks-
burg (rny former home), had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia. Med-
cines had no effect; neither did travel help
her. On my last visit home, some months
apo. l persuaded her to use Grape-Nuts
food. She was in despair. and consented.
She stuck to it until 1t restored her health
80 completely that she is now the most
enthusiastic friend OF Grape-Nuts that
AVER knew. She eats 1t with cream or
dry. lust as it comes from the package
keeps it in her room and eats it whenever
she feels like it.
Il began eating Grape-Nuts food my
self when my baby was two months old,
and don't know what should have done
without it. My appetite was gone. was
weak and nervous and afforded but very
little nourishment for the child. The
Grape Nuts food, Of which soon grew
very fond, speedily set all this right again
and the baby grew healthful, rosy and
beautiful as mother could wish He is
two years old now and eats Grape-Nuts
food himself wish every tired young
mother knew Of the good that Grape-Nuts
would do her.

that suggestions Of this nature have perme-
ated the entire country.

hears OF families divided, Of coolness be-

on the rarest occasions. The situation
is not unlike that which prevailed among

ICE HANDLERS STRIKE ENDS.
Men VIII Go Back to Work Pending .
settlement OF Their Demands.

The icemens strike, which was timed for
4 hot wave, was ended last night, and the
ice handlers will all return to work to-day,
pending a settlement. They so notified
President Wesley M. Oler Of the American
Ice Company, last evening, after having
spent the day watching ice delivered by
new men while the drivers did not even
murmur.
President Oler said last night that he
had no conference with the strikers or their
Representatives during the day. He looked
on the strike as half hearted hot weather
demonstration which was destined not to
last. Men were striking and going to work
again; and in all there were not more than
forty out at any one time, he said. He
could not say what settlement he would be
able to make with the ice handlers. They
were receiving 90 a week and demanded
Oh and q shorter work day. but when they
made their demands first he reminded them
that the company kept them in the cold
weather months, when there was little or
nothing for them to do.
It was admitted yesterday morning by
the officials Of the company that the strike
made deliveries Of ice slower. and in weather
Hike yesterdays the shrinkage is great.
Some families had to put up with very small
CHUNKS and some we're missed altogether
by the icemen.
The ioemen we're not organized, though
the drivers, who did not strike, form a
J branch Of the International Brotherhood
Of Teamsters. Early in the day yesterday
ex-Assemblyman Dick Butler. Devery
lieutenant and an ally of the late Sam Parks,
blossomed out as a,lnion organizer. He
took charge Of affairs and addressed meet
ing Of the strikers as early as A. M. in the

another meeting tonight to form union
Of Toe handlers. There's not much need Of
