WHAT CITY NEEDS is A RUIN

GESTS THE COLISEUM.

Talk Of GETTING the Municipal Art OmtmIs
slam To Thlnlk About Preserving the ne
mains DG the Ancient Police station
Rum IL suggested a. q Vehicle.
A large ard rapidly revolving movement
possessing the momentum Of a paper pin
wheel 10 on foot in South street TO preserve
the Old Slip polCe station from further
demolition. Ths first token OF the real
stats OF affairs came to THE SUN in the
form OF a simple postal card which said:
~Havo o seen the fine police station
they are tearing down at Old Slip Isn't
it wasbe?"
Three alarms were Immediately sent out
FOR lieut.. Bull Mccarthy. philosopher and
great x~rsat-nephew OF Mr.. CoIeridge's
Ancient Mariner. The first alarm brought
out the ship news reporters. and Chief Croker
came on the second. Lieut.. Bull responded
gracefully TO the third. Casting a cursory
eyegIance over the situation and shaking
his head in melancholy fashion ne spake as
follows:
The days OF rhe romance of South street
have departed. There was a time moi long
ago when the schooners lay In their slips
along South street their bowsprits rakinG
the upper air. md the martingaIes had to
be tricsd up so's the horse cars could pass
beneath the bowsprits. Then the wafer
front was q forest Of ruasts.
The Old Slip police station a re-
member those days, at least the latter end
OF 'em. View this venerable ruin on a
frosty night, or maybe when there's Just a
sprtnkling Of snow on the ground and the
moon il shining bright. What does ID look
like? Like q stanch old four master trans

you had spent five years cruising around
the habitable and iDhahifable globe you
wouldn't nave 60 fall back on n figure OF
speech. Ill tell what it n to
ms. The Coliseum at Rome. Any Cooks
tourist could tell you that. Now the Coli
scum by moonlight ia q very beautiful
sight. but the old Slip police station by
moOnligh compares very favOrably with
IT,, for n starter anyway. Later, perhaps,
We can view the ~Hippodrome by moonlight.
though at present the prospect is incan-
Lieut.. Bulls remarks reverberating up
and down South street stirred upa lot Of dis
cussion among mariners and. other nautical
ok. Spirited debates ensued and ensued
and fully half the waterfront population
settled itself in the South street ginmills
in m effort To formulate a plan Of action for
saving the present artistic ensemble OF the
ruinous old police station. As a result of
the tireless mutations OF Admiral Keegan
OF the Fenian Navy the general conviction
obtained that the only way TO stop the
ravages 81 the pick and crOwbar az this
crucial hincture was by a appeal to the
Municipal Art Commission.
A good many ideas nave been suggested
for interesting the Municipal Artists, but
no single scheme has yet been agreed upon.
The most likely plan proposed Is that OF
bringing the Municipal Artists down TO
South street some moonlight night and
filing them with hot Jamaica rum.

FORAKER WORKING ~ OHIO.


H0lds Conference m Plans 90 Keep the
states Delegation Away From Tart.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 2~2.-Senators Foraker
and Dick have joined forces TO knock out
the Taft boom in Ohio.
At conferences held here to-dsy with
Senator Foraker the Dick men planned
with him how best to prevent the Repub-
hcsn State convention from indorsing the
Wal Secretary as Ohio's choice.
Although Mr.. Foraker would not discuss
the political situation. it was learned that u
plan of cGmpsign has been mapped out
which IL successful will LEAD to Ohio's big
Four" at the national convention being COM
PEELED to support FOraker's candidacy.
The forces Of the Senators will centre
their attention at present on the various
county delegations to the State convention.
which probably will meet in February. In
zach county an effort will be- made to nave
the delegates attend the convention I'M
pledged. The fight has been started here.
in Cuyahoga county. where the TAFT men
have figured on sending a delegation mani
mOusly in favor OF the War Secretary's
candidacy.
By getting unpledged delegations to the
state convention the Foraker men feel
that they can split up the county delegs-
tions 80 that a majority Of them can be
swung into line in favor Of Foraker. The
Senator'S friends profess the belief that II
this can be lone a few choice bits OF Fora
ker's oratory will hoist a majority into
the Foraker b~sndwagon.
After the Confabs held by the senior
Senator here to-day the story vas circulated
that the State central COMMITTEES Intends to
mold two State conventions. one for the
selection OF the delegates to the national
convention and the other to nominate
candidates for State OFFICES. The Forayer
men are in favor of this. By so doing they
believe they ran better concentrate their
Ell Orts to aid their chiefs candidacy.
The situation in the Congressional dis
tTicts received attention from Senator
Foraker to-day As a res lit Of the coali-
ton between the two Senators Foraker
candidates for delegates in the Twentieth
district will hav the support of the com
bine. and Dick candidates in the Twenty
first. Congressman Burton's district. Booms
for J. A. Beidler. former Congressman.
and +. H. Eggers. former State Senator.
as delegates. were started in the Twentieth
district.
Tonight Senator Foraker decided not to
confer with State leaders at Columbus
as was planned. but departed for Cincinnati.
where further plans for the routing Of the
Taft forces will bp laid.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-Stuyvesant Fish has
been spending a few days getting ac-
quainted with Chicago, which he declares
he expects TO make his future home. There
is a contingency based upon his winning
his suit against Hartman and pegaining
control Of the Illinois Central Railroad.
For several days. while the court pro-
ceedings have been in progress before
Judge Ball, Mr.. Fish has been working his
way through a long calling list Of Tromi-
nent Chioagoans. Incidentally his calls are
said to a had a good effect upon his
proxy list.
1t was said to-day that at the outset
nearly the entire banking interest OF the
city was solidly against him in his fight
but that there has been a change. Mr..
Fish has called upon some Of the bankers
and has disclosed to them his purposes
and aims II he wins. and the proxy phalanx
of the opposition 10 said TO rave received
several deep dents as q result.
That which apparently appeals most to
the banking and other business interests

may result in contempt proceedings against
Capt. Shevlin Of the Ralph avenue pre-

Shevlin. backed by Inspector George

trate GeisEnar in the Gates avenue police
station. arrested Morris Reisman. the
manager of the Brill h Fox theatres, and
four attendants. They were charged with
operating and maintaining a moving pic
ture show in violation Of the Sunday law.
Whether the warrant supersedes the
Injunction is a question the police are very
anxious to have passed upon IL has been
suggested that the Magistrate himself
may have committed a contempt in issuing
the warrant in the face of the injunction.
In several instances yesterday the police
used leniently the new powers vested in
them by the Sunday ordinance. In the
matter of a ball given at the Labor LyCeum
by the Young friends league" for in
stance. the Inerrinent and music were al
lowed to proceed through a subterfuge.
The police stopped the sale Of tickets but
allowed the sale of hat checks.
The police of Prospect Park discovered
that the music coming from the carrOusel
operated in the park by Edward Reppard
was disturbing the religious repOse" or
something and therefore ReppaTd was ar
rested for violating the Sunday law. At
the time there we're several children on the
merry-go-round. They had got tickets two
for five cents.
The moving pictures operated in the
Amphion Theatre. Williamsburg. and at thu
Majestic. Brooklyn. were deemed a viola.
ton Of the law and in both places the opera
tors and ticket sellers were arrested. ' The
operators Who were working the moving
picture shows at 40 Hopkins street, 004
Broadway. ISL Broadway and 1883 Broad
way were also arrested. The latter 10 ono

ton granted by Supreme Court Justice

There were no arrests in the various
theatres that gave-sacred concerts" though
IN all OF them several patrolmen were on
dirty.
There were unusual crowds on the down
town streets in Brooklyn. The saloons did
a big business, although the police con-
ended they were keeping n watch on the
violators of the excise law. Up to 10 O'Clock
last night the report at tho Brooklyn Police
Headquarters showed thai nineteen arrests
had been made for this kind OF violation.
