Soubrettes Lowered Skirts,
 Everything Else Went at Coney

New York, May 24.-Coney Island yesterday was the same Coney Island that it has been on any Sunday in it's early season during the last several years. The open air circus perform ance in Luna Park was not given. The clown, trapeze act and Japanese jug glers were eliminated from the circus in Dreamland. as the performers wear special costumes. The soubrettes in the drinking halls each had skirts to her ankles instead of to her knees, as on week days.
 Thus far and no farther went the promised wave of sabbatarian repres- sion. There was no effort to make it go any farther. Liquor was sold as freely and as openly as ever- The re- sorts in the Bowery of Coney Island were open and doing business in ex- actly the same manner as they have done for years. There were two po- licemen on posts in the Bowery, the same number as always. Not an addi- tional man. in uniform or on detec- tive duty, was sent out from the Coney Island precinct station. From the Brooklyn branch of Police Head quarters there were present the usual Sunday detail of detective duty men on the lookout for pickpockets. There were fewer arrests than usual, Captain Palmer said. and not for violation of the Sunday law.

DOWAGER QUEEN IS SUFFERING FROM
 AUTO SCORCHING
Especial from United Press.)

s.
 Rome, May 24.-There is danger to- day that Dowager Queen Maghareta will pay with her life for her fondness for fast automobiling. She is in dangerous condition from a. rare form of lcckjaw which has affected her throat and which the doctors say re- suits from repeated colds contracted in automobile rides. For several days the Dowager's mania has been to ''go scorching through Rome and the ad- Jacent country in her high powered car and though she suffered severe colds after nearly every one of her trips she failed to heed her doctors advice Her neck is swollen until it has distorted her appearance. Her sufferings are intense. Physicians arc in attendance upon her night and day but so far the malady has failed ut terly to respond to every known treat ment. The illness of the Dowa ger Queen is of several weeks duration, but only in the last few days has her condition become so grave that it was deemed advisable to inform the public as to the exact cause.

CHILD ATE AN
 ENTIRE BOX
 0F CUT|CURA
Spread on Some Crackers-Not the
 Slightest Injury Resulted from Little Fellows Escapade - In
 Most Positive Way Ingredients of
CUTICURA PROVEN PURE
 SWEET AND HARMLESS

A New York friend of Cuticura writes the following interesting letter:
 My three year old son and heir, after being put to bed on a trip across the Atlantic, investigated the state room and located box of graham crackers and a box of Cuticura Oint- ment. @
 When a search was made for the box, it was found empty and the kid admitted that he had eaten the con tents of the entire box spread on the crackers. It cured him of a bad cold and don't know what else"
 No more conclusive evidence than the above could be offered that every ingredient of Cuticura Ointment is ab- solutely pure, sweet and harmless. If it may be safely eaten by a young child, none but the most beneficial results can be expected to attend it's application to infant. This feeling is shared by mothers and nurses to such an extent that Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment have for many years been unhesi- tatingly, used throughout the civilized world for preserving, purifying and beautfying the skin, scalp, hair and hands of infants and children from the hour of birth. And greater still, if Cuticura Remedies for the treatment of torturing and disfi guring hunors of the skin and scalp. The suffering which they have thus alleviated among the young and the comfort they have af- forded worn-out and worried parents have led to their adoption in countless homes as priceless agents in the speedy, permanent, safe and economical treat ment of infantile and birth humors, ec- zemas, rashes, irritations, inf1amma- tions and. chafings, and other itching, scaly and pimply humors when all other remedies suitable for children fail.

Destructive Sewer
 . Gas Explosion
Special from United Press,

Special from United Press.)
 Philadelphia, May 24.-An explosion of sewer gas early this morning shook the post office building, hurled eight man-holes in the air and narrowly missed wrecking a passing 11th street trolley car. The explosion was heard a dozen blocks away and people hur- ried to the scene from all directions. Smoke poured from the uncovered man-holes and a fire alarm was turn ed in. With the arrival of the fire men came the police reserves of the Eleventh street station who turned out in response to a. telephone message that there had been a Black Hand ex- plosion at the post office.
 The explosion is believed to have been caused by fire generated by cross wires igniting the gas in the conduit.

BILL DEVERY TALKS
 ON CONEY ISLAND

New York. May 24-Ex-Chief of Po- lice Devery made some remarks yess terday on law enforcement at Coney Island. MT Devery talked much and with some heat. Here is part of what he said:
 -'Take it from me, young man, that I'm mighty glad am not in the Police Department these days. There was a time when I wanted to be back, and wanted to be back bad. But. say, you take it from me I'm not sorry I am not there in these days, when the Mayor has Coney Island on the brain.
 Say, what do you think would have happened if the Mayor had given me an order to close up the peoples play ground by the sea? I say that is when me and him would have locked horns all right. all right, and then he could have took his job. He had better use the police to clean up the city of crooks, especially safecrackers.
 That's no joke. There are more safecrackers working in this town than you'd dream of. I say that in the last five years 1,500 safes have been broken open, though there ain't any talk about 1t in police circles. Why, the time has come when if a gang of cracksmen want to break open safe. all they do is to drive up to the place in a wagon, load the safe on 1t, and carry it to a place to be opened at their convenience. There ain't any of have a Commissioner now.
 This rakin' up of the blue laws and talk of their enforcement when the real laws stay violated is funny to me. As to injunctions to stop the police from closing up shows-why, Commis- sioner Bingham don't care any more for a Supreme Court injunction than do for a can of sardines. If Bill DeS- cry had done the things he has there'd have been a whole squad of Supreme Court officers after me in less than fifteen minutes, and I'd have been tried for contempt of court.
 Its different now, but the people ain't going to stand any blue laws, and they'll rise up against their play ground being tempered with. Coney Island is great spot and should be fostered. It's of benefit to the city,
