GAYNOR TO HALT CRUSADE
Sees Blackmail Behind Saloon Raids
of Police.
Hopes Change of Procedure Will
Help stop ExtOrtion and Brib-
cry Amounting to Millions.

New York. March 29-Mayor Gaynor,
using the medium of a formal letter to
Police Commissioner Baker, made known
tonight his intention TO order the police
TO cease making barroom arrests for vio-
Iation OF the excise law of which they
are the witnesses. This procedure, he
says, is not the procedure described by
the excise law. and is the procedure on
which has been founded here a structure
of blackmail and extortion that he puts
at some 100000 a year.
The order he intends TO give 10 the
force is to proceed in excise cases just
as any State or county officer must also
co If he obeys the statute. namely. take
note of the violations he discovers and
then in the form of a sworn statement
submit his testimony TO the district at
tOrney of the county in which the viola
ton has occurred The district attorney
will do the rest. and the warrant. If one
issues, will not be served by the police
man who is the complainant. Policemen
on excise duty will be forbidden to reveal
that they are policemen while they are in
saloons getting evidence
The mayor hopes that this change OF
procedure will help put stop TO the
extortion and bribery, in which he sees a
real public danger.

OBJECTIONS TO BE FILED.
West Vfrginians Confer on Little
field Decision In Old Claim Suit.

New York, March 29.-Attorney Gen
eral William G. Conley, Of West Vir-
ginia, who came to New York on Man
day. conferred with former Senator John
c. Spooner. and John c. Carlisle, counsel
for West Virginia in the so-calleG Vir-
ginia debt suit at the Hotel Waldorf to-
day. The three. with former Gov. Daw-
son, of West Virginia, discussed the re-
cent findings of former Representative
Charles Littiefleld. referee in the suit, and
decided upon numerous exceptions to the
findings.
Just what these exceptions will be none
of the West Virginians would say, but
they will be filed with the United States
Supreme Court in Washington on or be-
fore April II. The Virginia representa-
tives met in Washington week ago and
decided upon their exceptions. The cause
of the suit goes back to the promise Of
West Virginia TO assume an equitable
portion OF the debt of Virginia in jan
uary 1860. and the claim OF West Vir-
ginia that she had paid into the treasury
of Virginia all that was due.

OHIO POLITICAL KEY
Fall Elections to Throw
Light on Situation.
REPUBLICANS ARE OPTIMISTIC
Buckeye State Sage Predicts Unani-
nous denomination of Harmon.
The Campaign Will Be Pivoted
ON National Republican and LO-
cal Democratic Issues.

Ohio this fall will be the scene Of
political contest that is far from being
a preliminary skirmish.
The votes cast in November In the
Buckeye State will have greater infiu-
enee on the Presidential campaign than
in any other State. The Republicans
realize this, and the fact that they are
thoroughly conversant with the Demo-
cratic plans gives them slight ad-
vantage, according TO friend or the
administration who knows Buckeye pol

Harmon 10 BE Renominated. -
Judson Harmon will be unanimously
renominated for governor. and if Repub-
ncan plans do not go awry they will
have a reliable business man as his op-
ponent. The Republicans will seek 10
make the campaign on national issues,
while the Democrats prefer local issues,
especially that Of graft among Republi-
can State officeholders.
The theory of Tafts friends is that the
state has for many years been Republi-
can on national questions, and that II
the rank and file of the party realize that
Tafts denomination and reelection may
depend on the outcome Of next Novem-
ber's balloting in Ohio. they will rally to
the support OF the party.
1t Will not so much be a vote for or
against Harmon as it will be vote for the
principles OF the party OF Lincoln and
Grant. as against those of Jefferson,
jackson and Bryan. This gives the Re-
publicans hope. although they admit that
the campaign managers are somewhat
inexperienced. and that Cannonism may
slightly influence the vote.
State Convention for Tariff.
II is taken for granted that in June the
State convention will indorse the Payne
Aldrich tariff measure and approve the
work Of the State delegation in Con-
gress.
Conditions which give the Republicans
hope are the change of sentiment on the
liquor question. Harmon being unable

the Republicans believe he has alienated

in sympathy with Harmon.
His administration has been clean-cut
and highly satisfactory to the masses,
but has had the same effect on the
political leaders as has Gov. Hughes
in New York. Should this alienation
continue. the Republicans believe IT will
mean the loss OF many votes for the
Democrats.

until July II. Then he was detached from
