first presented it at the New York roof garden. The justices decision forbids the defendants using the name "the Pays" or the expression "fazing the Fays' in vaudeville act. The case was tried late in March and much evidence was given on both sides. The counsel for the Pays did not seek to have the defendants enioined from giving their performance, but simply argued that they should be prevented from trading on the Fays' reputation, as 1t was alleged that many people were under the impression that the Pays were appearing in the theaters in which the defendants were giving performances. It is said that the next step to be taken by the Pays will be to sue for damages the managers in whose theaters the defendants have appeared during the season. 4

 The May festival has gone and left pleasant memories even though there | has been some criticism which has ruffled the feelings of a few who take such criticism to heart. Though the large majority was more than satls- fled with the program, if there were a few who were not content they had the right to express their opinion. Of course person who goes to q musical or any other high class production and is we'll pleased with it, dislikes very much to pick up paper on the fol- lowing day and read how such and such an artist was disappointment. Still opinions are bound to differ and if you take pleasure out of any event in the amusement line, do not think that you are wrong in your estima- tlon because some critic does not agree with you. On the other hand do not have a hammer out for the critic who sees much in a perform. ance which does not suit your taste, If on the way home from an amuse- ment hall you feel that you have been repaid for your time and money, dc not condemn yourself for praislng on the following day when you read in the dailies how such and such per son was not nearly as good as ex' | pected.

HOW BANDITS OPERATE.
The Methods of Train Robbers Will
 Be Shown By Buffalo Bill.

Col William F. Cody, known best to fame as Buffalo Bill with his Con- gress of Rough Riders and historical Wild West exhibition, will present as one of the western scenes with his or ganization. reproduction of train robbery. Ever since the railroad first traversed the prairies, these scenes of brigandage have been one of the seri- ous impediments to rapid develop ment of the west. Finally the Union Pacific organized special posse of bandit hunters. provided them with a special ear equipped for the purpose, and began systematic effort to ex- terminate train robbers. The methods which have been so successfully en- ployed by the bandit hunters of the Union Pacific, will be reproduced in "The Great Train Hold-Up" with Buffalo Bills Wild West. A practical engine, drawing practical train, with its load of passengers, will be in- troduced in a typical western scene. There will be correct demonstration of train hold-up, the robbery of the express car and the search of the pas sengers and as climax to the scene will come the attack of the bandit hunters and the route and capture of the outlaws.

ASHoKAN CHARGES.
Mcclellan Will Summons Water
Board to Trial.

NEW YORK. December 2B.-The COM
missoners of accounts have sent to
Mayor Mcclellan their report on the in
vestigation Of the Ashokan dam award
by the board of water supply. The board
awarded the contract to Macarthur
Brothers and Winston & Co.. whose bid
for the work was $12.669, 775. when the
John PIERCE Company offered to construct
the dam for SO, $50. a saving of over
s., 800. 600. The commissioners find as a
result Of their Investigation that the board
Of water supply had no Justification. and
they conclude their report with this formal
charge:
we deem that our public duty as COM
missoners of accounts imposes on us the
obligation of preferring to you as mayor
charges of incompetency and misconduct
against the members of the board Of water
supply. Such formal charges are now in
process OF preparation and will be filed
with you as soon as completed
Commissioner Mitchell said yesterday
that these charges would be handed to
The grounds upon which the charges of
''incompetency and misconduct" would be
based would be that the board was vast
ing the city's money,
As soon as the charges are presented to
him, Mayor Mcclellan will summon the
members OF the water supply board be-
fore him to be tried. Under the act by
which the board was created the members
can be removed only after hearing on
charges. The mayor has planned to be-
gin the trial in the second week In Janu-
airy, but it Is believed In the city hall
that the members of the board will
resign.

NEW YORK, December 26.-Lawrence
Delmour. former Tammany leader of the
old thirtieth assembly district and one of
the most picturesque figures in New York
politics. died yesterday afternoon at his
home, 116 East 89th street. Although he
had not recovered fully from his illness
OF two years ago, the immediate cause
of del th was grip. He was sixty-seven

When Mr.. Delmour was i'll two years
ago he was nursed by Miss Jennie Walsh.

and was at his bedside with the doctors
whe n he died. When news of the death
was received at the Algonquin Club, on
East S4th street. where Mr.. Delmour was
formerly the leader. the flag on the house
was placed at half mast. The funeral
will probably take place at St. Ignatius
Church, at S4th street and Park avenue
Mr.. Delmour was at one time one of
the best known most influential and most
popular leaders In Tammany Hall. He
was at the height of his power when

ERIE THREATENS RATE WAR.
Announces Withdrawal Of Chicago
New York Rates.

CHICAGO. December 26.-The Erie rail-
road has announced the withdrawal of all
It's passenger rates now published in the
Chicago rate sheet, and a rate war will
be precipitated unless the other Chicago
New York roads bring enough pressure to
bear to stop II. The new rates which the
Erie proposes to establish will be an
nounced January I, and IL filed with the
Interstate commerce commission then will
become effective February 1.
This action by the Erie has aroused all
the other trunk lines. and 1t is probable
that several more will cancel their rates
in the Chicago rate sheet. The New York
Central lines already have intimated that
they. too. wish to put In new rates be-
tween Chicago and all points east.
No announcement has been made by the
Erie officials as TO Just how far the cut in
rates will go. 1t is reported. however,
that II the fight becomes hot the tariffs
will be cut a second time, and 1t is not
improbable that for a time the fare be-
tween Chicago and New York will be SO.
The second-class fare is now $40. which
represents a cut of 1915.

LET us consider a moment the condi-

naval officer OF the military branch of

being forbidden by law to exercise COM
mand, except in his own corps, has no
power or authority to enforce discipline
with the crew. For the same reason. If
the paymaster should decline to carry out
any Of his orders he cannot enforce dis
cipline there. and no one can. not even
the President of the United States, as no
court-martial could convict this pay OFF,
GER because the surgeon has no legal
right to command him. That much for
the naval contingent. Now where does
the surgeon exercise command with the
merchant captain and crew? He may
say to the captain. Get under way and
proceed to any port he may mention.
and his orders are obeyed. But all COM

Denver-New York Rate Cut.

DENVER, December 26.-The Denver
and Rio Grande has announced a rate OF
$3260 from Denver to New York via the
Missouri Pacific, the lowest rate made In
years. 1t is a result of the rate war now
on between the New York and Chicago
lines.
1t is possible that the cut may even go
below that point. The reduction amounts
to Sc less than the last,cut, which was to
$500. The fare last year for the same
journey was $500. which was cut to
1890 The total reduction over last years
rate is S12.60
These tickets are good on tourist sleep
ers and chair cars. and the reduction at
this season Of the year Is expected to have
the effect of heavily increasing the travel
to the east The new rate to New York
is less than the regular flrst-clGss rate
from Denver to Chicago.
