Andrews appeared yesterday before Mayor
Mcclellan in support of the bill passed
by the Legislature compelling the city
authorities to provide space in the new
Hall of Records for the storage of the
records OF the County Clerk s Office. Mr..
Andrews said that provision for the records
ought to be made in the new building
and that the valuable documents now
stuffed away in the old court house were
becoming dilapidated for want of proper
care and because of the %dampness o! the
old building.
TIE Mayor grumbled about the mandatory
feature ~ the bill. He wanted to know
il the city administration had not the power
to arrang for the removal OF the records.
Mr.. Andrews agreed that the city had the
authority. but he said that when an appeal
was made to the Board of Estimate in

building the letter was not even acknowl-

Mayor, 40 go to Albany for a mandatory
bill because you didn't get an answer from

but I'll see why you didn't get an acknowl-
edgment."
The Mayor gave no intimation of what

SUGAR STRIKERS IN A FIGHT
Attack a Band OF italians Who Were to Take
Places OF ~LOnEshOremen

Places OF DOnBsh0remen
Strikers from the Havemeyer sugar
refneries in Williamsburg came into con-
fict again with the police yesterday when
they interfered with men engaged to take

shortly after Q A. M. at Kent avenue and
South Fifth street while about sixty Italians
were marching down to the South Fifth
street pier, where they were TO 90 aboard
a boat and be taken TO Manhattan to AXE
the places of striking lohgshoremen.
The sugar refinery strikers thought
the Italians were going TO supplant them
in the refneries. While about forty we're
engaged in a scufie about a dozen new
men on their way TO the refineries became
mixed up in the row and were severely
hurt. An Italian was hit with a stone
and sustained a fracture Of the skull. He

tai.

the heads Of the strikers. Several Of them
were hurt, and q Pole who was pointed out

fneries might be shut down to-day in

ELLISON DISCOVERS A JOKER
In Bill nj Albany for the Removal OF UnuseC

In Bill ut Albany for the Removal OF Unused
Tracks on Amsterdam Avenue.
Corporation Counsel Ellison 10 inclined
to think that an effort is being made to play
a trick upon him in the wording Of the bill
which has Teen introduced in the Legisla-
ture providing for the removal OF the I'M
used car tracks on Amsterdam avenue

the courts the attempts Of the city to CON-
pei the removal OF the tracks, but after
conferences between the Representatives OF
the company and Mr. Ellison it was agreed
that the tracks should be taken up, pro-
viding h city would consent TO the passage
OF a bill which would have the elect Of
keeping the company's franchise alive and
conditions should warrant II. MIR. Ellison
has discovered that the bill 10 made to apply

tracks but for the removal under similar

sistant Corporation Counsel In charge Of
the city's affairs at Albany TO oppose the
bin. Mr.. Ellison points out that under
the terms Of he bill the companies could
abandon Its tracks on n route at any time
the companies might desire, with the as
eurance OF being able TO resume the opera
out fear Of loss Of franchise. Moreover.
hr. Ellison pointed OUT. the bill az IL IL now
drawn would give loophoies 70 the com.
panies to suspend the running Of cars with

Mr.; Ellison has drafted an amendment to
the bill providing that the city authorities
and the Railroad Commission may author

panies, but that the city shall also have the
right 20 condemn as q nuisance all unused

An Elaborate Dance

The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs
W. E. Halsell was the scene last night
of perhaps the most elaborate enter
tertainmentsof the many delightful
functions that have occurred during
the season that is now supposed to
have been cl osed by the advent Of
lent. The occasion was a dance, given
in honor OF Miss Eva Halsell, and to
which many of the older friends Of
the hostess parents had been invited
as well as all the younger dancing set,
whether married or unmarried. And
the older folks, who did not care to
dance, played cards or watched the
beautiful figures Of the German.
The music by the Cofeyville orches-
ira. violin. harp and flute,
superb, the floor was Jas smooth as
gIass,-and how could the dance fail
to entice all whose feet are not deadg
The German, which was lead By Mrs.
w. F. Thompson, was participated In
By almost all the dancers present, and
was one Of the very prettiest dances
ever seen here. Dainty favors Of many
kinds were.distributed for the various
sets, and will always be cherished by
the guests as mementoes or one Of the
pleasantest evenings Of their lives.
After the German had been finished
waltzes and two-steps we're INDUCED in
until a late hour. with cards for those
who did not care to dance. During
the evening refreshments we're served.
The house had been beautifully deco
rated, and in fact nothing that could
have been done to make the evening
more nearly perfect was neglected.
Even the weather ccoperated, and the
night was Just like spring.
