BIG SALOON WILL
OPEN SUNDAY AND
SELL NEAR BEER
Murray Brothers Think They
See a Way to Thwart
Blue Law.

Open Sunday and 'near-beer' are
billed to appear at Murray Bros.'s cafe,
154 Market street, next Sunday.
Chief of Police Corbitt. when asked
today as to whether he would close the
Murray Bros.'s establishment, said that
he would be governed by circumstances.
Michael H. MURRAY. in an interview
to a reporter of THE EVENING STAR
today, said:
I'VE are not taking this action in the
nature of a test case, as has been
talked of about the city. AS for the
matter of our remaining open on Sum-
day, we have been doing so for many
Sundays past: selling soft drinks and
cigars.
I'm selling this 'near-beer,' as it Is
called, it must be understood that we
are not trying to III foul of the law
at all. We do not intend being an
tagonistic to the Bishops law. We in
tend nothing else han to sell a tonic
drink. For 'Zythos' is a tonic. The
beverage is made from pure hops, malt
and rice, and contains but one two
hundredths of 1 per cent. of alcohol;
just enough to prevent its souring.
Speaking of the alcoho the drink con-
tains, birch beer. a strictly temperance
drink, contains ten times al much.
"As 1 have said. we intend respect
ing the Bishops law. The law is a good
one for some people, and we intend
leaving the decision as to whether it
is good for all of the people in the
peoples hands. But you nay say this
for me:
AN open Sunday is sure to come.
Not n where 'near-beer' Is sold, but
one where every kind of drink la be
put across the bar"
Mr.. Murray further said that the
closing of the saloons in his city was
bad for many people as they only went
from here to Hudson County, and
when they once got there they never
left until most of their money, If not
all of 1t, had been spent.
The impression prevails with the
license inspectors of the Excise Board
that any saloonkeeper has h right to
open his place on Sunday n sell
near beer" If it is found that he
liquid is moi officially recognized as a
violation of the internal revenue laws.
But in order to settle the matter The
inspectors will bring the question up
before the Excise Board today, that
they may act safely.

M WILL BACK
MARTIN w. LITTLETON.

NEW YORK, July Charles F. MUIR
pry and some of his associates in the
city Democratic organization will start
today for Denver over the New York
Central. Asked if he had anything to
tell preparatory to his departure, Mr.,
Murphy said:
Il will say that we will not regard
anyone as nominated by the Democratic
national convention until the vote has
peer taken and the ballots counted. As
far as the New York delegation is con-
cerned, we are going to Denver to de-
liberate."
Mr.. Murphy, it is said, will direct his
efforts at Denver toward securing the
second place on the ticket for Martin
w. Littleton, former borough president
of Brooklyn.
By an odd coincidence and the merest
chance, Senator p. II. McCarren. of
Brooklyn, Whose fight against Tam
many because of the unseating of his
Brooklyn delegation in the State con-
yentiop rs to be taken before the con-
vention, is to travel on the same train
with Mr.. Murphy, at least as far as
Chicago.
With the Murphy contingent Will go
Alton B. Parker and most of the more
prominent politicians in Tammany. Mr..
Parker is to be the representative Of
the State in the committee on resolu-
according to the present program,
and Martin w. Littleton is to make a
fight on the fool of the convention
against anything resembling a radical
platform.

It WASN'T THEIR
BLACK HAND BOMB
THE POLICE FOUND
Three Men Discharged in Court
Threaten to Sue for
Damages.

Salvatore Musmecci. Giuseppe Pedone
and his brother, Francesca, had the
complaints found against them thrown
out of court by Judge Davis In the
Court of Special Sessions today.
The trio was arrested March IL last,
soon after a bomb was found on the
of the home of Eduardo An
Mill, IA Bedford street.
Musmecci lives in II Bedford street,
and the Pedrone brothers at 15 Bed
ford street.
Threatening letters had caused An
nilli to flee to Italy, leaving a fortune
of 500, 900 to be taken care of by rela-
tives and friends.
Because the State had little or nc
evidence against the trio the applica-
ton to nolle PROSE- was made by Prose-
cutor Wilbur A. Mott.
A sequel to their arrest and discharge
is a heavy suit for damages. they say,
which will be instituted against the po-
lice officials that got them into court.

Bow Swimmers in Natures At

The usual midsummer howl against
the boys who swim in the Morris Cana
at Plane street is going up from the
business men and residents in the
neighborhood. All day long the canal
at that point Is alive with kicking,
spluttering youngsters. who disport
themselves in the murky waters of that
glorious monument to the foresight OF
legislators of days gone by.
They have a good time, and from
fifty to 100 men are usually standing
on the bridge enjoying the sight, but
the factory owners say that it is not
nice. The police can at best hope to
get only a bundle of clothes if they do
raid the boys, and 1t has been sug
gested that the canal be turned into a
free bathing ground, suitably sheltered
from the view of the curious. both in
street and factory.
In the meantime the boys still have
their little dip.

Phillips's room. The door was locked
and, bursting it open, Mr.. Stiff found
the suicide. One end of a gas tube,
evidently purchased for the act, had
been attached to the single Jet above

dinner last night, and said he was go
ing to work today.
DIR. Mooney first met Phillips when he
was pastor of a church in Union Hill,
and befriended him. seeking to turn him
from his drinking habits. DIR. Mooney
said today, 'On Monday night, after
spending several days in st. MichaePs
Hospital as a patient in h e alcoholic
ward, Phillips called at the house.
This is the last you'll be bothered

A telephone message was sent by the
police to the suicides brother at the
Standard Oil offices, and Mr.. Phillips
started for Holes morgue. where the
body was taken.
The suicide has an aged mother,
whose home Is in Rutherford with the
brother, and who. so DR.. Mooney states,
