A Card

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The time is upon US for the produc-
ton of candidates to fill the various
Offices of the county. And, | see the
seasons climate or some other condi-
lions have produced lot already.
But. am concerned at president for
those who are for the legislature. I
see thatsonly three have announced
for that Office. Now, as the issue will
be mainly the dispensary or no dis
pensary it is very proper that the can
didates who offer for the house should
state on which side of this question
hey stand. Therefore, ask such
candidates who have come out For the
house to publish through the Dispatch
which side they are on. Dispensary,
or no dispensary? And those who an
neunee themselves, Or are announced
by their friends, to state which they
favor. tis not necessary to write a
long article, all that is wanted is a
clear statement of your position on
the whiskey question. There is no
room in this campaign for straddler.
I will be glad if the leaders OF the
prohibition movement will bring out
an anti-dispensary ticket for the legis-
]at,,re Name three of the best men
yoacan find that are against the dis
pensary. The time has come for
action-let US meet it. Yours for pro-
hibition. 9. h. Corbett.

Wednesday, July II, 1906.

The Supreme Court has decided that
the slot machines cannot be operated
In the city of Columbia ON the Sabbath
day. The court holds that the statute
under which the seizure of the ma
chimes and their contents was made is
still on the books and is an active law
in full force. 1t holds furthermore that
the machines are devices for evading
the law and that when person by
dropping money in the machine
secures cigar or other value he has
consummated a trade and that it is as
much violation of the law as IT the
trade had been between two persons.
The effect of the decision will be that
the city Sunday law must. be observed
and obeyed, which isright and proper.

The executive committee has de-
cided that magistrates shall be recon-
mended by this committee instead of
going into the primary. 1t seems to
us that the primary election would
have been more democratic and satis-
factory to all concerned, but they
have the matter in hand. and by their
decision the voters will abide.

Mr.. MCLENAHAN OUSTED
Removed as Stevenson Estate Trus
tee-Sued by CO-erecutor.

Another step toward clearing up the tangle in
brewer was taken yesterday when. by an order
OF Justice Bowling. James McClenahan. presi-
dent of the Mutual Bank and of the David
Stevenson Brewing Company. ceased TO be the
trustee of the property of David Stevenson, jr..
chief heir to his fathers fortune. Within five
days Mr.. McClenahan must appear before a ref
cree and give accounting of his administra-
ton of young Stevenson's affairs
Serious charges have been made against the
banker by Mr.. Stevenson. among others being
the appropriation to his own use of $4,000. Mr..
Stevenson's counsel. Arson NJ. Beard son-tn law
of James ]. Hill. succeeds Mr.. McClenahan as
trustee, and will demand a complete accounting
before finally releasing the former trustee.
More trouble came to Mr.. McClenahan yester-
day in the shape of a disagreement with James
Smith, cashier of the Stevenson brewery and
Mr. Smith has a suit pending against Mr.. Nc
! Clenahan who IS also an executor. TO set aside
the sale Of the brewery property by the Steven
son estate to the David Stevenson Brewing Com
pany the allegation being that the sale is null
and void and was not made with due regard
for the interests of the estate Mr. Smith also
| Clenahan owes him about $4,000. $1,000 of
which is for fees due in the sale of real estate
for the estate and SIS 200 regular executors
fees. Of the $4,000 claim, Mr.. McClenahan says
that IT has been settled by the transfer to Mr.
Smith of 500 shares of the stock of the brewery
that the stock is valueless and is in no way a
satisfaction of the claim.

MORE r. r. BOARD POWER.
Can Enforce Recommendations If
Merritt Bill Passes.
LRv telegraph 70 -he Tribune. J

Albany. Feb. 2l-Assemblyman Merritt intro
duced to-day a group of bills amending the
Railroad law, the most important of which pro-
vides procedure by which the Railroad Com
mission may force compliance with its rulings
Heretofore there has been nothing which would
compel the companies TO obey the decisions of
the commission. This measure provides that
when a corporation fails TO comply with the
recommendations of the commissioners. after
due notice the board shall present tho case to
the Attorney General. who within thirty days
shall apply 10 special term of the Supreme
Court for the appointment of a receiver, as If
the corporation were insolvent.
Another bill! adds a new section 10 the Rail-
road LAW. providing that stocks and bonds shall
not be issued by any steam. street surface ele-
waited. subway other railway corporation sub
iect 10 the supervision OF the board unless the
board shall authorize the issue; nor shall CAPT.
tai stock or bonded indebtedness be issued with
out the consent OF the board, which may ex-
anime books and hear testimony. Franchises or
property cannot be transferred or contracts for
operation made without the authorization of the
board II the board refuses such application A
company may apply for review TO the Appellate
Division. Third Department This measure
would he pertinent 90 the Belmont Ryan trac-
ton merger. and might prevent the issuing of
Watered stock.
Still another bill strikes from the Railroad law
The provision that the commissioners shall not
give publicity 10 information, and inserts q pro-
vision that the records OF the board and ali re-
ports. contracts, agreements, leases or other
documents or papers or copies thereof fled with
the board in pursuance of law shall be open to

Another bill is similar 10 the general bill re-
certify introduced by AssemblyTnan Merritt tax
ing the charges for various departments from
The institutions under their jurisdiction and put
ting them on the State. This measure makes a
state charge OF the Railroad Commission.

RUMORS OF DISSENSION.
Cabinet Reported DiUided on South

London. Feb. 22-The Opposition newspapers
this morning repeat the runors that there is
dissension in the Cabinet over the governments
South African policy. According to The Daily
Mail" official announcement may be ex-
pected almost Immediately concerning the dis
patch Of commission TO South Africa.
Mr., Bryce's speech on Colonel Saunderson's
amendment. affirming the adherence of the gov
eminent to the principle OF Home Rule. but leav-
ing the House as much in the dark regarding
the governments real Irish policy as did the
Kings speech. attracts much attention but does
not give the Opposition press a strong weapon
with which 10 attack the government. beyond
the old charge that 1t is the intention of the
ministers to concede Home Rule by Instruments
The Liberal organs say that the government is
only taking up the Irish problem where Mr.
Wyndham. the former Chief Secretary for Ire
land. was forced TO lay it down. The Tribune
says that from the time the Unionist govern
nent charged Sir Antony mcdonnell with the
task of introducing changes IN the spirit and
form of the Irish government the whole issue be-
tween the English parties was transformed till
the alternative lay markedly between coercion and
Home Rule. To-day. The Tribune saws IL lies
only between various forms OF change and va
nous means or associating the Irish people with
the Irish government.

FOR CITY PROBE BUREAU.
McCarren Bill also ProUdeS for
Com piling Statistical accounts.

Albany. Feb. Ex-senator McCarren intro
duced to-day at the request of Controller Metz
OF New-York City a bill providing for the estab-
lishment OF a bureau OF investigation and sta
tistics in the financial department of the city,
and giving the Controller power to enforce the
compiling Of statistical accounts by the various
city departments. The Controller sent with the
bill a memorandum saying that. while such work
already was done 10 certain extent, it was per-
formed under hardship and records were inCom-
plete. It was difficult 10 find what had been
done in the past with the city's money. The
memorandum went on:
Perhaps not the least important feature of the
measure is the clause which authorizes this new
bureau 70 make any investigation examina-
ton which the Controller may direct affecting
any matter upon which said Controller is re-
quired TO act vote a public official. This
authority is enforced by the right TO subpoena
witnesses and compel the production of such
books and records as the Investigations may
make necessary. The Controller is q member of
the Rapid Transit Commission and of the Board
OF Estimate and Apportionment. All franchises
10 public service corporations granted by the
city come before one or the other OF these boards
This law would permit the Controller to make
full examination with regard 70 any extension
of privileges sought by these corporations.
