Collector Stranahan has made a strong

Of which C. B. Richard Il Co. are the agents
for violating the law in regard to the sep

Florida. in recently from Mediterranean
ports. The law requires ssubstantiAhMand
well secured bulkheads" separating the
male from the female compartments. 1t
was found by men Of the Collectors Office
who inspected the Florida that the par
titions separating the sexes we're loosely
nailed boards, and that between the boards
were wide spaces which enabled the men
to look into the women's compartments.
One Of the boards had been pulled of and
others could be moved easily. Solicitor
Hamilton decided that there was no justi-
fication for this condition Of things. He
notified the Department Of Commerce and
Labor, which has declined to relieve the
vessel Of responsibility. 1t is likely that
the line will have to pay a fine of s7,loo, or

The Booth Line steamship Maranhense
also has got into trouble with the Collectors
office. On her last trip from Manaos she
brought II immigrants. Investigation Of
a complaint by passengers revealed that
she had violated the law in regard to berth
ing space, that she had no hospital, no
tables and chairs at meals, and that no
notice had been posted in the ship, as is
required, prohibiting members Of the crew
going into the women's quarters.

ROWLING MOB TURNS ON RABBI
WEINBERG RESIGNS AFTER TIE
RESERVES ARE CALLED OUT.
Little Riot in q Wtllett Street Synagogue
When the Final Services OF the Passover
Began-TrOuble Arose When the
Rabbi Decided to Bake MatZOths.

The services in commemoration of the
last day OF the Passover at the synagogue
at 10 Willett street yesterday morning
we're marred by a row and were ollowe
by the abdication Of the leader Of the flock,
Rabbi Moses Weinberg. Four hundred
members of the congregation Beth Hame-
drash Hagodal had crowded into the little
and when Rabbi Weinberg
assembled the altar and started to speak.
there was an outburst Of catcalls and
kissing.
Policemen Eisenberg and ~Piepenbring
of the Delaney street station rushed for
the and found the rabbi stand
ing with uplifted hand and the congrega-
ton shouting and screeching.
The policemen managed to get near the
pulpit and we're pushing back the bowling
mob, when a more serious trouble developed.
The women members Of the congregation,
who are separated from the males n sit
in the gallery during services. violated
custom and made for the ground floor.
The policemen we're completely over
whelmed.
Some one in the rear Of the church had
run to the Delaney street station, and
Roundsman Granger and the reserves
were hustled out. Eisenberg and Piepen-
bring were the centre Of a swirling mass
Of humanity. They had lost their helmets
and buttons we're beginning to give way.
Outside a crowd Of several thousand had
focked to the front of the building.
The police finally cleared out the syna-
gogue. When order had been restored a
few Of the members Of the congregation
drifted back into the syna gogue and quietly
went to their seats. Rabbi Weinberg
then asked to be allowed to speak for five
minutes and did so. With tea rs streaming
down his cheeks he announced that he
would bow to the will Of the congregation
and resign.
This was what all the people wanted.
They had tired of their pastor. Rabbi
Weinberg told Of how he had established
the syna eighteen years ago and
how he had labored for his flock. His
speech didn't cause any tears among the
hearers. but brought forth murmurs Of
signed or who didn't as long as nobody
started another fight.
After delivering his farewell sermon
Rabbi Weinberg was escorted to his home
on Fifth street by two policemen. The
crowd jeered the rabbi as he emerged from
the building and followed him for several
blocks.
The police learned that up to a few months
ago one Of the leading lights Of the con-
matzoth output for the congregation. This
man has a bakery near the church and
every member OF the flock has purchased
the matzoth from him.. Rabbi Weinberg
some months ago decided that this bakers
business was entirely too lucrative and

THIEVES on MAIDEN LANE
Got Q $50 Locket by Arguing Over the
Initials to BE Engraved on II,

Crooks operating not only below the
dead line" but in the heart Of the jewelry
district were reported yesterday to the
police by Oliver NJ. Farrand, a storekeeper
at 8 Maiden lane. Two men had got away,
he said, with a locket valued at $50. and he
believed that they had planned to obtain
considerably more booty, but his watchful-
ness prevented them.
The men vent into the store and looked
at a tray Of diamond lockets. They
selected one and then they argued between
themselves as to what letters should be
engraved on the jewel and finally said that
they would decide this and let the ieweller
know the next day, when they would pay
Brown, but hesitated about his initials ,
30 that Mr.. Farrand, who had been getting
suspicious, removed the jewelry out of their
reach and began to count\the lockets in
the tray.
The men hurried out and, although he
quickly saw that a Jewel was missing. they
were then out of sight, He thinks that
they had expected to get one or more, high
priced jewels, but these were only shown
one at a time.

II is Good Business Policy

We are good enough judges of human nature
to appreciate the fact that meritorious service is the
best and most permanent foundation for commercial
success.
If we give better cigars at lower cost than can
be given by any other manufacturer, we shall Sc
cure, by perfectly logical and ommon-sense meth
DDS, what is virtually a franchise from the public
to supply it with its cigars.
A franchise based upon bn6Ac preference is
stronger and more enduring than any that can be
secured by legislative enactment, and it is this sort
of franchise, obtained in this way, that we are after.

CHECK, AND NOT DEFEAT.

St Petersburg, March 17-There is already evidence that only a check and not q defeat has been administer ed to the reactionists who are conduct ing the anti-semitic agitation. Premier Witte after he had forced a decision of the cabinet to suppress the agita- tion, knowing the audacity of his op- ponents, took the precaution private ly to ask the Jewish leaders to notify him instantly whenever the Jewish in habitants of any locality were threat ened in order to place him in a posi- ton to insist that measures be taken to protect them. The Jewish leaders, however, now charge that the 'reac- tionary clique with the connivance of sympathetic local governor generals, are boldly arranging to lock such warnings. The leaders claim to have proof that orders have been given at several places specifically citing Vii tebsk, West Russia, not to transmit messages to the premier warning him of the imminence of trouble. It is further charged but proof is lacking, that this was done with the knowledge of Interior Minister Durnovo.
 It has been established that Count PodgOrichanie, chief of the gendar- merle of GOmel, West Russia, who armed mob there while ostentatious- ly dismissed by NJ. Durnovo, in real ity was only transferred. to better post at Yalta, Crimea.
 In spite of the official denial of the shooting of undesirable refugees sent back to Russia from England, private information has been obtained tending to partially support the charge. Many of the refugees were sent to Baltic ports where the authorities are sbow- ing no mercy to revolutionists in spite of the emperor's instructions to dis play greater leniency. When the refu- gees disembarked. having fled from Russia without yized passports, they were regarded as suspects and some of them were given short shrift.

New York, March 1.-The World to-day says: Opposition has aris- en among the trustees of the New York Life Insurance Co to the pro- posed suits against the estate of John A. Mccall to recover the 'yel- low dog funds he gave to Andrew Hamilton and the $14S,00O of pol icy holders money he contributed to the republican national campaign in 1S96, 1900 and 1904. It was said yesterday that this opposition was so strong that it would be able to de- feat the movement to sue.
 Tt also developed yesterday that the members of the finance committee who served at the times the cam paign payments were made have about completed plan to make good the total amount out of their own pockets. The opposition to suing the estate of Mccall has become so open that it is said the trustees fa- voring such action will not dare to bring before the trustees resolution authorizing the procedure. Such a resolution will be necessary, for au- thorization has only been given so far to sue Mccall personally.
 But no matter what may be done with reference to the Mccall estate, suits will be brought against Hamil- ton for restitution"

UNDER ENCLISHFLAG
STEAMSHIP LINES DISCRIMINATE
 AGAINST THE U. s.
Standard Oil Steamers Are Among the Offenders Freight Rates
 Get Big Advance.

Washington, March 17.-Steam-
 ship discrimination against Ameri-
 can shipping is reported to the bu-
 reau of manufacturers from Singa- pore by Consul General Wilber, who
 advises that combination has been | effected between the Barber line,
 East Asiatic and some or the Stand
 ard Oil steamers, all of which are
 under the English flag, and the
 Hamburg-American line. 1--e freight
 rates between South Asia and Amer
 ica Lave been greatly advanced. This
 is a move on the part of the Euro pean shipping conference to aid Eng fish and German dealers in East h. | dian products to regain control of i the business which they have been gradually losing. The consul be-
 lieves that what is needed through
 out the orient is an American line of steamers under the American flag
 running from New York through the
 Suez canal entirely independent of
 any combination.
 Consul lift has reported to the bu- kreau of manufactures from Chatham, Canada, on the subject of the future
 wood supply of this continent, bear ing specially on the devastation of American forests. He quoted Ca madam authority as saying that the matured timber of the Dominion amounts to only 532,O00,000,0 900 feet, which the United States could use up in eleven years at the pres- ent rate of consumption.
 The coal supply of Canada is re- ported by Consul Shank of Winnipeg at 22,000,000,000 tons. The Domin- ion is now producing yearly about 6,00U,000 tons of coal and 650,000 tons of coke, worth altogether near fly $17, 100000.
 Successful results in tanning by electricity at Halifax, Canada, are reported by Vice Consul General Hill, the new method taking only thirty days.
 Minister Beaupre at Buenos Ayres reports that the Argentine govern ment desires American bids for four large iron bridges and swinging bridge.
 Special Agent Hutchinson after an exhaustive examination of the com merce of Chile predicts that the present wave of prosperity in Chile will bring her foreign purchases up to $75, 100000 or more. The pres ent share of the United States in the Gillian imports is comparatively small, not quite reaching $5,000,000, but 1t is increasing far more rapidly than that of any other country ex- cept Italy.
 The foreign trade growth at Iqui- tos, Peru. developing commercial center on the headwaters of the Am azon. is shown in letter from Con sul. General Gottschalk of Callao. I'm ports at Iquitos now exceed $2,600,- 900 and the exports, principally rub Der, exceed $3,000,000. The United States takes the leading share of this.

MINOR HAS A SCHEME.
The Fire Commissioner Wants Fire.
 men to Brace Upon Exits.


 men to Brace Upon Exits.
 Commissioner H. w. Minor of the board of public safety would like to see the fire department progressing as rapidly as the police department. Everybody apears to have his eyes on the cops, but never a one on the firemen. It is Commissioner Minors idea to have at least the captains of the different fire companies become acquainted with the exits of all the public and large buildings in the city, because this knowledge would be of great value to them ncase of fire. This feature of the fireman's life is in operation in many of the large cities and is coming into vogue in such places as Bridgeport. Commits sioner Minor is of the opinion that it would greatly improve the fire de- partment to have all the men thor oughly acquainted with the ins and outs of all the big buildings, public and private. The idea is simple one. Different men from different companies could be tolled off to in- spect certain buildings every day, and in a short time the entire fire force would become acquainted with the internal structure of all the prin- cipal buildings. The owners would be only too willing to escort the fire men through their properties. for it would be a big benefit to them to have the fire department have a men, tai picture of their buildings.
 In a few weeks every member of the fire department would have fair knowledge of every big building in the city.
