BLUE SUNDAY BLUE INDEED
Actors Lost Much Money and Nam
ayers MOre-AIdermen to
Change Law.

NEW YORK. Dec. Anew York's Blue
sunday win be remembered for a long
time. For the first time in the history of
the city $4,000 people who usually attend
some form OF amusement on that day were
forced to anuse themselves by walking on
the streets or in the parks. There was not
a theater, not a concert hall dance hall
or lecture room open in the city and four
hundred penny and nickel arcades that
usually do an enormous business were
closed. Even the donkeys that carry child
rem on their backs for a small fee in Central
park rested. 1t Is estimated that actors,
musicians and employees OF the various en-
tertainments that are usually open on sun
days lost $4,000 by the forced closing OF
everything and the estimated loss TO the
amusement interests OF the city is placed at
S15OOOO.
The board of aldermen will meet to-
morrow and remove the couse OF the diff
Guilty insofar as It is possible for them 10
do so. II Is thought that conditions next
Sunday will be- considerably improved from
the viewpoint OF the amusement seeker.
The police say that genuine disorder would
follow the attempt to enforce another blue
Sunday.

MRS. TAFTS NARROW ESCAPE
Tossed About In Rudderless Tender
During Gale.
IMMINENT DANGER OF DROWNING
Steamer President Grant BEHIND
Schedule Time Because OF storm
and the Small Boat r.
Almost Capstzed.

ON BOARD STEAMER PRESIDENT
GRANT. IN THE ENGLISH CHAN
MEL, Dec. a--CBy Wireless Telegraphy TO
London)-Mrs. Taft, wife OF the American
secretary Of war. Joined her husband on
board this steamer early this morning at
Boulogne. On the trip out on a harbor
tender the party had an exceedingly mar
row escape from wreck and disaster.
Mrs. Taft and Mrs. George Post Wheeler,
wife OF the second secretary of the. Ameri-
can embassy at Toxic. and the other pas
sengers for the President Grant, boarded
the tender Holland last night within the
harbor works at Boulogne Very heavy
seas were running outside and this de-
layed the departure Of the tender. but at
1:So o'clock this morning, It being supposed
that the President Grant was inside the
breakwater, the Holland started out to
take the passengers alongside. Soon after
leaving II was discovered that the Presl-
dent Grant had not come inside. The Hol-
land got caught in tho heavy seas. A
giant wave broke its rudder and the small
tender drifted helplessly IN the darkness.
II was tossed about on the waves like
cork and rolled almost on its beam ends.
There was danger OF capsizing or Of being
dashed upon the rocks.
The passengers were thrown about In
every direction. Mrs. Taft and Mrs.
Wheeler were crouchlng in the captains
cabin when some fixtures above them came
down with a crash. Fortunately they were
not injured Near the lighthouse the Hol-
hand managed to get grip with an anchor
and this improved the situation. Repairs
were hurriedly made. The President Grant
came In at 3 o'clock and the passengers
from the tender were transferred without
further incident.
Among those who came OF on the Hol-
land were NJ. Rischmann. sub-prefect Of
Boulogne, who greeted Secretary Taft in
the name OF France. The sub-prefect ex-
pressed his regret at the iil-timed start OF
the Holland.
Secretary Taft made an appropriate
reply, expressing his deep appreciation OF
the consideration OF the French govern
ment and resreting that the change Of
plans made It necessary for him to aban-
don his proposed visit to Paris.
The President Grant is eight hours be-
hind its schedule because OF the storm.
After taking on the Boulogne passengers
tae steamer sailed for Plymouth.
