work of Transformation is difficult especially
when It has TO DO with time honored policies
and institutions Of great country
With these facts N Lafa yette- -Savsy. presi-
dent. organizer and chief counsel OF the Ameri-
can Civil Alliance. probably will agree, after the
meeting Of this new organization at the Waldorf
last night and after months Of activity IN the
dissemination Of the propaganda. of the alliance.
The object Of the alliance, according to its
literature, is ito form a body Of distinguished
citizens from all the important activities of the
nation TO take charge OF a scientific institution
devoted to the study Of political problems and
the propagation of political truths. with view
of s1pplementing this government with a
partisan institution representing the intellect
and conscience Of the entire nation
On the letterhead Of the alliance the names Of
many we'll known men appear. It was learned
last night however that several Of these had
retired from the new regenerative movement.
and although they had discontinued the author
ity for the use Of their names in connection with
the alliance they still appear on it's official
paper Among those who have withdrawn their
interest and support are several members Of the
Columbia University faculty and the Rev.
Thomas r. Slicer, who was on the executive
council When asked last night about his re-
nunciation Of Lafayette-Savays organization
Mr. Scer said:
IT don't want TO be identified with any move

and I am not in sympathy with the present
conduct of the alliance informed Mr.. Jafay-
ette-Savay several weeks ago that the further
use of my name would be unauthorized'
From another source came the information
that one of the causes of dissension was the
fact that there had been no meeting of the
council and that 1t difficult to get Mr.. La

The meeting at the Waldorf last night was
an executive affair. Reporters were barred Mr..
Iafayette-Savay left word with the attendant
who guarded the door that the reporters should
come back at 10 O'Clock. and that he would give
out -,ersonaIly the story of national import
about the meeting. Some OF the reporters went
back
There were thrty-eight men and women
present at the meeting, and there were n1ors

and was the principal speaker. There was no
sign OF dissension at the meeting.

VETOES 18th AVE. BILL
MAYOR FEARS LITIGATION
WOULD RESULT.
Grady Measure Might Act, He
Thinks, as Repeal of Sare Lao
for RemoUaI of Tracks.

Mayor Mcclellan vetoed late yesterday after
noon the Grady bill giving the New York Cen
tral Railroad permission to build an elevated
railway On Eleventh avenue. The Mayor SAIL
that if the bill became law there would be-
endless litigation over the question of damages
suffered by adjacent property owners who
would try to make the city pay for the loss OF
light and air
The Mayor said also that in case the company
and the city failed to agree on terms for the
removal of the grade tracks nothing would be
done, and the practical effect of the new law
would be the repeal of the SAKE law, under
which he seemed to think, there was hope OF
bringing about the removal of the tracks
The. Mayor reviewed at length cases where
the building of viaduct had involved the cities
of this state in damage actions on account OF
deprivation Of light and air. In the memoran-
dunn accompanying his dsapproYal Of the Dill
the Mayor said:
As counsel for the railroad company has stated

sion that this bill If It should become law i ana @

slories of the Waldorf-Astoria last night at
tracted a crowd that blocked Fifth avenue and
34th street fer several minutes, dehed the ef-
forts OF traffic policemen to disperss it. but
finally went away with its curiosity unsatisfed
It turned out that the two men were Scotland
Yard' Smith and Mr.. Amar, assistant manager
of the hotel and when Smith, in sleuth whis-
per, said to Amar, 'It seems TO be up there, -
the crowd looked ready to rush to the rescue of
some one. Before 1t got chance. however Mr..
smith and Mr.. Amar disappeared within the
hotel
All the excitement arose over the fact that
dog was bowling somewhere in the hotel, in
utter defiance of its ironclad rules-that is. it
is against the rules for guests to have dogs in
their apartments Mr. Amar could not locate
the abode of the dlsturber, nor could the sleuth-
eyed Smith. After they had attracted that
crowd however. they went up through the
house and inspected every floor. They traced
the howls TO apartment on the ninth floor.
There they found Pomeranian all alone. locked
