Fourth Of July
New Style
MAYOR GAYNoR OF NEW YORK
SETS THE EXAMPLE.
RETAIL SALE PROHIBITED
In New York City-HoIiday Supplies
Had Been Ordered-Means Loss of
Half Million to City Dealers.

New York, April At was predicted
today that nearly every large. city in
the country would follow New York $
example and prohibit the retail sale of
fireworks for the Fourth of July.
Mayor Gaynor's order to Rhinelander
Waldo, fire commissioner, brought
forth On Saturday a general order from
the headquarters Of the fire department
making it illegal to sell frecrackers or
fireworks of any kind at retail be-
tween June 10 and July TO-
Fireworks Men Surprised.
According to principal dealers in
commodities of the noisy season, this
was all that was necessary to start the
bali rolling. All the big cities, they
said. would vote for a quiet Fourth
the country had just been waiting for
New York to take the first STEP Incl
.dentalIy, the mayors action came as a
surprise to the fireworks men. His pre-
vious views on the subject had led
them to believe that he was in favor
of an fashioned FOURTH with
plenty of noise all day long.
Mayor Gaynor's Order.
This is the order that was sent
broadcast through the city by Com
missioner Waldo:
Notice is hereby given to all con-
cerned that the fire commissioner here
after will not issue any permits for
the retailing of fireworks, Chinese
crackers, rockets, blue lights, Roman
candle, colored pots, lance wheels, and
other works of brilliant clored fire"
The commissioner said that no per-
mits whatever would be issued to re-
tailers. Notice had been given to the
wholesalers long enough ahead, he add
ed to let them know what to expect.
Last year $50 permits were issued to
retailers in the city.
Holiday Supplies Ordered.
Fireworks manufacturers, however,
said that the country's supply of
Fourth of July material had been or
dered as far back as last January, and
lars were now being turned out in the
shops. based on the extent of these or
ders. Mon SSv mornings mail they
prophesied would be filled with letters
from dealers all over the country can
ceiling their orders. In their opinion,

Big Loss to Dealers.

some restriction as to the sale of dam
gerous Fourth of July parapaaernala,
such as toy pistols, giant crackers,
blank cartridges and dynamite caps,
but that not all fireworks are bad. The
signed by Mayor Gaynor,
they say, will mean a loss of about
100000 to local dealers alone.
Calls 1t an "Insane Fad"
w. A. Turner, president of the Un-
exce11ed Fireworks company, said that
the ordinance would be a great blow
to the trade.
81 don't know how to explain It," said
he, except that 1t is one of those in
sane fads that crop I'D now and then
and die out after few years. The ones
who are going to suffer most of all are
the retail dealer. and. OF course, the
small boy"

COMMENTED SHARPLY
ON VATICAN'S POSITION
Bishops Cranston and Wilson on
RooseveIt's Abandoned Visit.

Cincinnati, April bishops Earl
Cranston and John W. Walden of the
Methodist Episcopal church comment
ed sharply today on the Vatican's po-
sition regarding Colonel Rooseveat's s
abandoned visit.
Bishop Cranston said:
1.-The incident serves well to en-
phasize all 1 have said or written, as
banks episode. MIR. Roosevelt is not
Methodist. but his spirit of tolera-
ton is not greater than that of Mr..
Fairbanks, Methodist. In his ad-
ministration as president, many of his
friends throught that Mr.. Roosevelt
went beyond the limit of political pru-
dence in trusting and honoring Roman
Catholics but even he had to be put
under bonds in Rome. 1t seems that
the Vatican accepts nothing short of
absolute submission, including the
yielding up of ones social privileges
and religious and patriotic fellow
ships
ssThe introduction of the Methodist
church in Rome as a feature in this
latest episode is gratuitous. Much as
they honor Mr.. Roosevelt our people
there had no desire. or purpose, to en-
barrass him by any invitation that
to call upon the pope.
Bishop John walden said that two
monumental bianders had been COM
mitted by the present pope. He de-
elared that Poe Leo was far too wise
to have been guilty of the errors of
Pope Plus
BUT he added, @it Is not, after all,
the Methodist church which has its
bristdes out, but the Roman Catholic
church The Methodist church has not
been injured in the least. W. IRE
used to the insults and attacks of
Rome perhaps more than any other
denomination, owing to the fact that
we have been active in many coun-
tries which arc peculiarly Roman,
among them Mex4co, Brazil and Italy,
including Rome herself. If we had
not been successful, if Methodism was
not a vital. powerful force where we
have planted 1t, we would hear nothing
from Rome"
