The municipal bear garden was terribly
devoid Of interest at the regular session
Monday night. II was tho tamest circus
since Alderman Stoop became ringmas-
ter and began whipping his trick per-
formers over tho hurdle and through the
loops. The performance was over in
something less than an hour and the
crowd Of spectators went home disa-
pointed.
Marshal Baldwin seemed tc come to
the conclusion quite early that there was
going to be nothing doing that would ro-
quire his official presence and asked to
be excused to make a trip to Newdsle.
where some OF the eantaloupe pickers
had probably worked up scrap that
needed to be settled. At all events he
was let off.
Then tho mayor asked TO be excused
also. and had hardly risen from his chair
when Alderman Stoop slid into II. as
matter OF course. Ths whole thing would
have settled down into yeritable Pres

BROoKLYN'S JUDICIARY TICKET.
RepubIica n Leaders Opposed TO Acceptance
OF Citizens Committee Nominees.


OF Citizens Committee Nominees.
A meeting Of the Republican executive
committeemen in Brooklyn is to be held
this afternoon to discuss the selection Of
the eight candidates to be put in nomina-
ton at the judiciary convention on Satur-
day. Timothy l.. Woodruff, who is in
favor Of adopting the ticket OF theC Citizens
Committee Of One Hundred, on which are
the names OF five Republicans and three
Democrats, will be present and make an
effort TO impress his views on the Assembly
district leaders. He will be supported by
Naval Officer Kracke, the leader in the
Eighteenth district, and by Congressman
Calder, the leader in the Twelfth, but a
majority of executive committeemen arc
opposed to his plan and will probably in
sist on having a straight party ticket.
The delegates from Suffolk, Nassau and
Queens counties will also oppose the &C
ceptancet Of the citizens ticket.
United States Judge Edward B. Thomas
has formally accepted a place on the citi-
zens' ticket. He says;
From a body Of the people this COM
mittee arose and from the beginning l
have considered a selection by it as a recog-
milton OF honorable professional status,
highly complimentary to any member Of
the bench or bar. Fol this reason and
quite irrespective Of the results Of cleo
ton, a place among the nominees gives
me great satisfaction.
1t il generally understood that Judge
Thomas will also be nominated by the
Republicans and the Independence League
managers are also thinking Of pu tting his
name on their ticket.
