books Of any corporation there IL nothing

sistant Acknowledgement Henry W. Taft,
who IL delving into the nner workings Of

issued a subpoena for certain books Of tho
Forbes a. McAndrew wa Licorioe Company,
an alleged subsidiary to the trust, among
them minute books from the time Of the
c%ompany's incorporation three years ago
down to the present, and the l~etterbooks
from April /. 1904, to August is. 1904.
The company refused to produce these last.
and asked that the subpoena be quashed
on the ground that the Grand Jury was
simply treating itself to a fishing party
In the undiscovered country of the licorioe
company.
Judge Lacombe, following the precedent
laid down in the recent decision Of the
Supreme Court in the case Of Secretary
Hale Of the same company, cited for con-
tempt of court for refusing to produce GER
tain papers, denies the motion TO quash
the subpoena. Undoubtedly the material

PHILADELPHIA, May H.-Philadelphia
society did not figure in the dinner given
in the apartments Of Mr.. Inc Mrs. Reginald
Vanderbilt at the Bellevue-Stratford by
Mrs. George Law In honor Of her Highness
the Maharani Gaekwar. New York, Balti-
more and Washington supplied the guests.
The Maharani, the guest Of the evening.
presented a picture the like Of which was
never before seem in Philadelphia. Except
for American patent leather slippers, she
was in Indian attire. Over her head and
extending down to her slipper tops was
a glittering mass OF cloth Of gold. The
glitter was broken at intervals by stripes
Of royal purple and by what at first ap-
peared to be a simple belt about her waist.
About the neck Of the Maharani was a
necklace OF gigantic pearls, three rows
deep, and where the purple folds met over
her breast shone a huge emerald. The
belt which confined the cloth OF gold and
purple at her waist was studded with Fubies
and diamonds. The earrings which she
wears while in public had given place to
great diamonds, and yet with 1t all the
Maharani was truthful In telling her friends
that she had dressed with great simplicity.
For a similar function in India her COS
tune would have been the extreme Of
simplicity.
The guests Of the evening were only
twelve in number, The elaborate dinner
plans were simplihed at the lost moment
at the request Of the Ma harani.

CAR OF GASOLINE AFIRE

Incident OF liberalization.

Under lSOth Street Bridge on n. Y. Central
Incident OF liberalization.
The New York Central is drilling holes all
along its line between the Grand Central
Station and White Plains for steel uprights
for it's electrical equipment. The drills
are run by g~asolene and a gasolene motor
takes the gasolene in fiat cars for distribu-
ton along the route.
Two fat cars, one with six barrels Of
gasolene and the other with two tanks,
each containing 600 gallons, were under the
bridge at lsoth street at 10 o'clock last night
when a tall flame spurted from the first car.
The six barrels of g~asoiene had caught fire.
1t was a short lived but towering torch,
~illunined the neighborhood a mile or more
and brought a great crowd and the fire
engines. The fire burned itself out while
the fremen poured water on the gasolene
tanks in the second car. The motor un-
coupled and raj to safety. A wrecking
engine and crew from the Grand Central
Station came up and pulled the car with the
tanks aboard out Of danger.
The bridge caught fire, but before it
was more than scorched the firemen had
1t drenched. Traffic on the road was
stalled about half an hour, W locals, one
White Plains express and a Pittsfleld ex-
press being held up.

No MEETING To MONT,
LoNoAcRE a. G.

Newman said that he had twenty law
yers in tho club and he intended to call a
meeting Of them to-day. He said he would
try to get an injunction against the police
and the Sheriff.
The telegram received by Sheriff Hayes
at his Office at 200 Broadway late yesterday
afternoon read:
STATE OF New YoEN, EXECUTIVE CHAMBER.
ALBANY, May 81, 1909.
To the Sheriff OF thc County Of Nep York.
SIR: Complaints have come to my atten-
ton relative to alleged violations OF the law
prohibiting prlzehRhting and public sparring
exhibitions in,the city OF New York.
It Ia your duty TO execute the laws In your
county, and / shall hold you to account for
any failure or neglect to prevent and stop any
such unlawful exhibitions, Yours truly.
FRANK W. HIGGINS.
sWhat action do you intend to take On
the Governors telegram" Sheriff Hayes
wa asked.
After a moment Of hesitation he eaid:
Il shall obey, OF course"
'What course will you pursue to stop the
fights9"
Il shall use all the men under my COM
mand II necessary
There are a set OF bouts to be decided
at the Long Acre Club at Twenty-ninth
street tonight. Will you stop themf"
yes. III be there, y answered the Sheriff
The Sheriff said that II those arrested
were turned out in the police courts the cases
would be taken to the Supreme Court. 1t
was explained in the SheriI's Office that when
the police raided and the Magistrates dis
charged those arrested the police could
do, nothing unless the District Attorney
took up the matter. The Sheriff in a like
situation, it was said, could carry the case
to the Supreme Court without the aid OF the
District Attorney.
Police Commissioner Bingham made the
following statement:
There nave been 10 arrests for prize
fighting since January / and twenty-one
arrests for aiding and abetting prizefight-
ing. Most of these cases we're turned out
Of court, and in two instances the presiding
Magistrate gave lengthy decisions showing
the law had not been violated. The trouble
seems to be mainly over the Interpretation
by the lower court Of the law regarding
prize fighting
