ONLY A COLLAR BUTTON.
Big Crowd at Young 6 McCcmbs' Sat
urday Evening to Attend the Sale
of Crown Collar Buttons

A collar button, one of the most in
significant articles of a mans ward
robe, was the cause of a most sensa
tional sale at Young & McCombs store
Saturday evening when they opened
the Introduction sale of Crown collar
buttons. In Saturdays paper the sale
was announced to begin at 6 O'clock
and from that hour until closing time
1000 buttons were sold. The manu-
facturer standing the loss and allowing
Young e McCombs to sell Crown but
tons at cut prices. E. H. HoShour,
their advertising manger, told an Ar
gus representative that he never saw
so many people in just few hours in
the jewelry department. 1t seemed as
if Rock Island had gone collar button
crazy. Of course, good deal OF cred
il is due to the manufacturers OF Crown
collar buttons, who advertise their but
tons in the various magazines, and who
guarantee to replace all defective but
tons, but no one would think that a
collar button. sale would arouse SO
much enthusiasm. The sale on these
buttons will continue throughout the
entire week

PLAN FOR HARBOR

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Gather on Call of Mayor McCaskrin,
Who Suggests Cooperation With
Natatorium Project.

About twenty boat and launch OWE.
crs met at the Office of Mayor McCask-
rim Saturday evening. on his invitation,
| to consider the problem of harbor of
the small river craft. The matter was
thoroughly discussed, and on motion an
adjournment taken until tomorrow
evening, when a committee of seven
appointed Saturday evening will report
on the best location for a harbor and
the most practical means of construct
ing one. The boat owners formed a
temporary organization by the election
of r. w. Lamont chairman, and j. w.
Graves secretary. The mayor present
ed his views and explained his ideas of
a harbor in connection with the nata-
forum which he will build at the foot
of Sixteenth street. His plan was to
construct break water below the nat
atorium, but this seems impractical.
The suggestion was made that either
Nineteenth street or Twenty-fourth
street would be more adaptable to the
requirements of such a harbor A COM
mittee composed of F. E. Lothringer,
H. E. Bennett, w. c. Maucker, l.. H.
Salzmann, George Andrews. Harry Ell
well. and John Nudge, was appointed
to consider the various locations.

There are over 100 launches and small

THE ANTI-GAMBLING BILL.
Majority OF Senate Committee Votes
Against Favorable Report.

ALBANY, March 2s.-The chances Of the
Cassidy Lansing bill repeating the pro-
vision of the Percy-Gray law that permits
of poolselling on racetracks passing this
Legislature are very remote. To-day the
Senate Codes Committee considered the bill
in executive session. and a majority of the
members voted against making a favorable
report. Unless something entirely unfore-
seen m up later this action will kill the
bill. There are nine members Of the Senate
Codes Committee, and Senators Elsberg
and Marks of New York, Bracket Of Sara
toga and Human of R~inghamton, all Re-
publicans, voted in favor OF making a
favorable report. Senators Hill OF Buffalo.
Gardner Of Brooklyn and SAKE Of New York,
Republicans. and McCarren Of Brooklyn
voted against reporting the bill.
Senate Cassidy apparently realizes there
is no hope for his bill, though later he in
tends to move in the open Senate that the
Codes Committee be discharged from its
further consideration.

MORTGAGE TAX REPEAL BILL,
Indications That II Will Pass n Gov. Hig.
gin Does No.. Interfere.

ALBANY. March 2S.-Unless Gov. Higgins
should ask the Senate to defeat the efforts
to repeal the mortgage tax law, there is
no doubt that the bill imposing a re-
cording tax on mortgages to take the place
Of the present mortgage tax law will pass
both houses Of the Legislature, There
are not enough votes in the Assembly to
defeat the bill in that house when it comes
up for final passage. This was shown
to-day when efforts were made by Assembly
man Wade of C~hautauqua to kill the bill
by loading it down with amendments.
No test vote was had on any of the amend
ments other than rising votes, and all Of
these we're Of a character to show that
there is an overwhelming majority In the
Assembly in favor of the recording tax
proposition.
Mr.. Wade accepted as a substitute for one
of his amendments one offered by Assembly
man Bowling, the introducer Of the bill.
This provides that the taxes now due under
the present mortgage tax law, and which
must be paid prior to June 80 next, shall
not be wiped out by the passage OF the
recording tax bill. This was the only
amendment adopted.

UDo DECIDES TO NOTICE ELEdE Ms
AS Judge O'Sullivan spoke he pounded
the bench with his hand. Then he referred
to the sending of kilograms by the New
York American to members OF the Grand
Jury to find out how they stood. He said
that the matter had not been presented to
the Court in the proper form by Mr.; jerome
on Tuesday when the Court declined to
instruct the Grand Jury about it.
The question yesterday" he said, did
or knowledge or the jurisdiction Of this
court, because there was nothing there
but q mere telegram. How could the Court
know hat it was true? Afidavits should
have been presented. IN District At
torney knows how to proceed when crimes
are charged. He does not come to the
court to say that he has a notion that a
crime has been committed, if crime there
was. He does not do that: Yesterday
it was done. under the impression, perhaps,
that this court might feel that the dignity
Of the court had been invaded, that the
dignity Of the court might suffer through
an invasion of the Grand Jury ROOM"
The first thing to do, Judge 0'Sullivan
said, was to find out if a crime had been
committed by the sending the Of kilograms.
Then it was up to the District Attorney
to proceed and the Grand Jury to find an
indictment.
THE Court will always ~endeavor," said
Judge O'Sullivan, mot on account OF any
selfish reasons, but for the protection Of
the court and justice and law, to see hat
the dignity of the court is always properly
respected, to see that the sacred duties
of the Grand Jury room are not invaded,
and whenever there is evidence Of that fact,
properly presented to this court, the Court
will answer it properly
