l9I of Frank Mason did not do
him justice. She thought him
vj a big, good natured, polite
boy, rather conscious that he was like
ly to be sought after and disposed to
sulk if he wasn't. His plea for SYM
pathy on the score that his life of idle
ness was bore, which he made the
day they went ,sleighing, only provoked
her derision, and as she was disposed
to Judge all men by the standard of
her self reliant brother, he came near
awakening contempt on her part. It
was not until the last evening Of his
visit that she discovered her mistake
and realized that he had more depth
of character than she had. thought. It
is likely the keen enjoyment which he
seemed to feel when she sang for him
had weight, for we are prone to like
those who like us, and 1t was natural
also that she should feel a little graft

(sg9@gJ Frank.
After their Christmas visit to Sand
gate Albert had applied himself dill
gently to the care of Mr.. Nason's legal
needs. This brought him into contact
with other business men, and the fact
that John Mason employed him easily
secured for him other clients. In two
months he not only had Mr.. Nason's
affairs to lock after, but all his re-
naming time was taken up by others
He had spent several evenings at the
Nasons' home and found the family a
much more agreeable one than Frank
had led him to expect. Both that
young mans sisters were bright and
agreeable young ladies, and though a
little affected, they treated him with
charming courtesy and extended to
him a cordial invitation to have his
sister make them a visit
Since the day he had shaken his fist
at the closed door of Mr. Fryes law Of
Ace Albert had met that hawk nosed
lawyer twice and received only chill
ing bow. The memory Of that con-
temhble contract he had tacitly allow
ed Frye to consider as made brought a
mush to his face every time he thought
OF it, but he kept his own counsel.
Once or twice he had been on the point
Of telling Frank the whole story, but
had refrained.
In his intimate relations with John
Mason he saw enough to satisfy himself
that Frye's insinuation against that
busy mans character was entirely
false. Mr.. Mason seldom spent an
evening away from his home, and when
he did it was to attend the theater with
his family.
After their visit to Sandgate Frank
and himself naturally drifted into more
intimate relations, and a day seldom
passed that Frank did not step into his
office for chat.
"Don't mind me, Bert" that uneasy
man would say when he saw that
Page was busy, land if you don't want
me to talk any time, tell me to shut up.
I shan't feel offended. The fact is 1
don't know what to do with myself.
II it were only summer I'd go off on
the Gypsy even if 1 had to go alone"
One evening at the club he made AL
bert rather surprising proposition.
Albert, who seldom entered into any
card games and only occasionally play
ed pool or billiards, was in the reading
room as usual enjoying cigar and
the evening paper when Frank drew
up chair and sat down. They were
alone, and as Page laid his paper aside
Frank said:
"Do you know, I am getting abso-
lutely tired and sick of doing nothing
EEer since l left college I've been an
1dler, and l can't say I'm enjoying it.

washington. April 22.-The immigration
Bureau received official notice to-day that
the residents OF Berkeley Springs, W. Va are
preparing TO solve the immigration problem IN
their own way by force of arms. A vigilance

they will, and prepared TO go TO extreme
measures rather than put up with 1t any longer
Lieutenant Thomas Norris Defrees, U. S. A. re-
tired was the bearer Of the news 10 the Immi-
grafton Bureau this morning.
THE vigilance committee was going TO take
the Italians out of town two or three mghls
ago." said Lieutenant Defrees, land was only
dissuaded from so doing by myself. begged
them to wait until 1 could make the trip 10
washington and lay the matter before the ue
partment felt sure that as these men are al
contract laborers' the immigration oTncials
would take up the case and send the undesiraDle
persons back to the place whence they came
where was the contract made with these
laborers? asked Chief Clerk Frank Larned' who

Defrees.
Then am afraid that we cannot help you,
said Mr. Larned. LAS soon an alien is ad-
mitted TO this country he becomes free agent
and can make as many contracts for his labor
as he pleases. We would have no more right TO
go up to Berkeley and remove those men than
We would to go up there and take you out Of
your home"
Then we shall take the matter into our own
hands" declared Lieutenant Defrees. we viii
not have those men in the town. If they will not
leave on invitation. they will be thrown out

"All right; go ahead. But if you do so, remem-
Der that you acting upon your own respon-

counts of our alleged anxiety to get immigrants

markable increase Perhaps good times has
something TO do with it well. But what will

BLOCKS BRIDGE TRAFFIC.
AnLe Broken IN Rush Hour COmpeLs
Thousands to WQk.

Brooklynites who travelled toward New-York
on elevated trains yesterday morning were com
PEELED for greater part OF the rush hour 10 walk
across the bridge, because the axle of motor car
Of a bridge train broke at 7:35 o'clock.
In the rush hour only the regular bridge trains
are run. The train was just leaving the tracks at
the New-YOrk end where there is switch for
another track into the station, when the accident
happened. The broken axle tore UP the ties for
considerable distance, and the train "foated' as It
is called short distance along the track with
out power and then stuck. 1t effeCtually blocked
both incoming tracks at the New-York side. In
order to clear the blocked trains It Is necessary
for all trains to be backed the Brooklyn sdings
This caused a long delay and it was not until 915
o'clock that the track cleared and traffic was
resumed. At that time the first train left Man
haitian for Brooklyn. Trains then ran on this one
track, back and forth for the rest of the morning
frequent intervals In rush hours eighteen
trains are run, nine each track. 1t was so ar
ranged after traffic resumed that twelve trains
ran back and forth the one track.
Because of the block, transfers were given at
Brooklyn from the elevated to the surface cars.
This literally packed the trolley cars, and they
crept 10 New York, with patrons hanging on in
every conceivable place. Thousands thousands
walked, and the promenade across the bridge for
hours looked like turbulent sea. The throngs as
they were crossing looked from the higher tracks
of the elevated like the waving OF thousands of
flags as the heads bobbed to and fro.

BROOKLYN'S SEWER CRISIS.
LittIeton Declares Placements In
crease Drainage Problem.

II, hts rerort for the year 1904, which has just
been sent to Mayor Mcclellan, Borough Presi-
dent Iittleton dwens at considerable length upon
the sewer problem as being the vital thing In
the development of the borough at the present
time. Referring to the fact that for number OF
wears il. has been the great aim Of the admin
istrations in power to make as much progress
as possible in repaving the streets. he shows
that the very success of their efforts has rapidly
brought the sewer question to a crisis. In the
old davs. when a great part of the pavement
was of the cobblestOne variety most OF the
surface drainage soaked into the ground. Now
all the pavements are waterproof and practically
oil the rainfall in the street runs directly into
the sewers Thus. it has come to pass that the
sewer system is totally inadequate TO meet the
demands now being made upon 1t.
The report says in part;
think that the time has now come to devote
more attention to these subSurface Improve
ments. which are, after all more important ~
a Great city than anything else. The relation
between sewer accommodations and health Is
too obvious to escape attention and too intimate
80 he disregarded. So while favor vigorous
nursuit of the policy of properly paving our
streets / am convinced that unless we desire
as a community to embrace discomfort ana IN
vite epidemic and as a munlclpal corporation
70 waste our treasure in the settlement Of I'M
necessary damage claims, we must at once begin
TO master our new problem What has been
49, FOR the pavements must be done for
the sewers.
The Borough Presidents engineers have
mapped series OF sewer improvements. which
viii cost about $T5OOOOO Thirty-three miles
Of new sewers were constructed last year. In
comparison with twenty miles in 1903 What
the Borough President calls ian obvious and
impudent combination among the makers OF
sewer pires. which had advanced the price 2OO
per cent In three years was met by changing
the specifications so to admit cement pipe
in competition with vtrihed pipe. Within a
few months the price was reduced by 4S per
cent Sixty-six and eightysix hundreds miles
OF streets were paved and repaved last year
about a mile in excess OF what was done In the
previous year.
The Borough President speaks of the great
building boom as shown I'm the report OF the
Superintendent OF Buildings. which has already
been published. He refers TO the steps that
have been taken TO widen LivingstOn-st. and
10 push forward other public improvements.

SAFES BLOCK BROADWAY.
Slide from Truck ON Car Tracks
and Hold Up Traffic.

About o'clock last evening big double
truck on which there were two four ton safes
came slowly up Broadway. At Liberty-st. one
of the wheels broke through the timber cover
ing between the car tracks and sank to the
hub in the subway excavation. The driver
Ieaped to the ground just the two safes slid
off the truck and landed upside down on the
downtown track.
The wagon blocked the up track and the safes
completed the tie-up of Broadway. The block
lasted TO rover half an hour. and ended only
with the arrival of the repair wagon, when the
uptown track was cleared. Then the problem
of removing the two safes from the other track
confronted the wOrkmen. On the downtown
track the line Of cars reached from Lberty-st.
to above the Astor House. AS there was little
chance then of the block being lifted soon, they
were sent north again the same track and
switched over further up the street, avoiding
great congestion.

MAYER STATES GAME LAW CASE.

Albany April PA statement Of importance to
hotel and restaurant keepers and provision dealers
was made to-day by Attorney General Mayer IN
connection with an important game law case before
a NeN-York city court last week.
The Attorney General expresses the opinion that
there may be misapprehension as 10 the

question OF the possession of foreign game. 4
dealer named Silz is cOntestng the validity Of the
law which prohibits the possession Of foreign as
well As domestic game the close seasoh. The
Attorney General says:
The State contends that the law is constitutional
Irrespective OF the question 10 whether any par
ticular foreign game is similar dissimilar do

who Tried the case. directed the jury TO determine
whether the phcasants IN question were similar TO
domestic pheasants and the jury found that they
we're The jury however, found that certain for

similar 10 domestic grouse. Upon the facts thus
presented the court 20 take briefs and determine
the law Of the case
As the impression may have been inadvertently
created the decided in favor OF the dealer
and against the State and as dealers hotel and
restaurant keepers may think that this justines

the close season think il proper 70 call attention
20 the fact that the State viii continue 10 enforce
the law unless and until IL is declared invalid.
