ter to Santo Domingo, in. an address at the
University Settlement, 1874 Edridge street.
Yesterday afternoon discussed the subject
Of the resting place Of the bones Of Column
bus, and declared his belief that they rest
not in Havana as is generally supposed but
in the Cathedral Of Santo Domingo.
History and tradition have always
agreed" he said, that the remains Of
Columbus were in the early part Of the
sixteenth century brought from Spain and
| inferred in the Santo Domingo Cathedral.
and it wa popularity accepted that they
had been removed thence to Havana in
1875. In that year Spain ceded to France
the eastern portion OF the island. and a
Spanish Admiral h visited Santo Do
mingo gave orders to open a tomb. which
he supposed was that OF Columbus, and its
contents were taken to Havana.
-Ihe leaden box which the Spanish Adj
miral had repoved from Santo Domingo
bore no inscription. In 1877 in the course
Of some repairs another leaden box was
found near the spot from which the first
Casket had been taken. II bore a metal
plate with the inscription in Spanish: The
1llustrious and Enlightened Lord, Don
Cristobal Colon
"A controversy Immediately arose as to
the authent lefty of the discovery. The
Spanish. Cuban and Porto Rican press re-
garded the affair as an American fraud,
but offered no convincing proof OF their
assertions. .
Il have not only read and compared all
the publications I have been able to find
on the question. but have personally ex-
amined the box. its contents and inscrip-
tions and the vault from which it was
taken: have infinitely studied the archi-
lecture, structure. material. surroundings.

ANTI-SCHOOL RUSSIAN.
Content to Go TO JAN So Long as His
Daughter Remains at Home.

Isaac Mitzman, a Russian Jew, 90 years
old, who lives at 27s Delaney street, says
the laws here are worse han they are in
Russia, because they compel him to send
his fifteen-year-old daughter Yetta to
school. Mitzman has been brought before
four Magistrates in the Essex Market police
court. He has got another nance every
time because Of his age and pitiful stories.
But yesterday Attendance Officer George
Williams brought him in again, more
defiant than ever. His wife, Sarah, and
Yetta, who is a rosy checked girl, accom-
panied him.
Will you send this girl to school On Mon
day?" Magistrate Mayo asked him.
no" was the defiant answer.
Then I'll ave to send you to jail"
The old man shrugged his shoulders.
Then he began to storm.
The laws here are worse than they are in
Russia" he said. There is no liberty in
America-it is all a fake"
Asudden thought struck him and he cooled
down a bit. IF l go to jail" he asked,
beaming, do they givet to eat?"
Assured hat they did he settled back.
Then go. ] don't care he said.
They feed you" said Bridge Policeman
Becker, but il amt kosher
This staggered Mitzman for a moment.
He paused to think before making his
final decision.
Il don't care" he said at length, there's
no real kosher in this country anyway.
Everything is a fake"
Magistrate Mayo fined the man IS, which
he refused to pay, and he was led back to the
iail.

This country under the auspices of. the

Of the jew in Russia. DR., levin said that
he was not a fugitive and that he had not
been indicted for his participation in revo-
lutionaTy agitation in Russia. The strength
81 the revolutionary party had been over
estimated, he said. and this was made evil
dent by the failure Of certain features OF
the revolution. He will stand for election
10 the new Duma next month, the law enab-
ing the voters to choose him even in absence
from the country. DR.. levin is editor of
the Zionist weekly, Dds Juedische Vok.

HOTEL CAB STANDS EXCLUSIVE.
Magistrate walsh Decides That Hacks in
General Must Keep OF Them.

That a cabman, even though regularly
licensed, has no right to solicit fares in
front OF hotels or other property IL the
owners object. was decided by Magistrate
Walsh in the Tombs police court yesterday.
All the leading hotels, such as the Waldorf.
Belmont and Knickerbocker have estab-
lished what they call private hack stands
IN front of their property and they have
been in constant warfare with individual
cabmen. who resent what they call a mon
opoly of a public .thoroughRare and insist
on soliciting business in the restricted
limits.
To make a test case, Alexander McKenna,
a regularly licensed cabman, was arrested
about three weeks ago for being on the
private hack stand at the Hotel Belmont,
where John Haverty claims exclusive
rights by agreement with the hotel. Magis;
,rste Walsh decided against ham and fined
him $40.
In deciding the case the Magistrate said
il would seem at first thought tina t
McKenna's license gave him such a right.
since it was issued by authority Of the
Board of Aldermen, which has the power
10 regulate the use of the streets by vehicles.
He found, however, that in a similar case
The Appellate Court decided that the public
merely has the right to use the streets
10 pass and repass, and any other use con-
stitutes a trespass against the abutting
owner" He therefore decided that any
ordinance giving the right TO hacks 20
occupy corners is invalid. unless it means
giving them the right with the consent
tains that the right to maintain a private
hack stand under license and with consent
of adjoining owner has been distinctly up
held by the courts.

The Joint fight Of District Attorney
,.rone. Police Commissioner Bingham
md Judge Rosaisky against tho gamblers
Iii he continued this week. A number
~ employees Of poolrooms will be called
nsfore the Grand Jury and questioned
under the Bowling law.
Rut the most interesting part will como
later. When District Attorney Jerome
h.s obtained a good sized list Of the pool
-oou proprietors they will be all sum-
,ooned before the Grand Jury and ex-
mine under the Bowling law.
According to Mr.. Jerome's information
,bere nave been more poolrooms running
IN this city recently han ever before.
There are men who have single rooms,
otbers who have as many as -four and still
others who have eight and more and who
run a headquarters from which they
supply the information to their string OF
rooms.
one thing District Attorney Jerome
and Commissioner Bingham aim at trying
70 find out is to whom the poolroom keepers
nav money for protection. An attempt
vii he made to discover il the money goes
10 the police or to a politician. The pool
room men will be examined before the
Grand Jury under the Bowling law, which
ccmpels them to tell who got the money
or 60 to jail.
After that the gamblers will be taken
m. II is said that Mr.. Jerome has been
keeping watch on the gamblers for some
time and that he has gathered q good deal
Of information and is prepared for the
fight.
Hereafter all gamblers and poolroom
men will be arraigned before Judge Rosal-
sky in General Sessions. In this way it,
IS hoped to keep track Of second offenders.
When a man comes up a second time he
will get a prison sentence. That has never
been lone before. and both Mr.. Jerome
and Gen. Bingham think it will ave the
effect Of making the poolroom men and
gamblers much more careful.
Police Commissioner Bingham had not
q great deal to say about racetrack n
poolroom gambling in his talk to the re-
porters at Police Headquarters yesterday.
AS in the past, SO in the future he said,
Mr.. Jerome will have my hearty coopera-
