MAYORS SUPPORT SOUGHT
Municipal Explosives Comm'S-
sion Will Submit Plan.
REVISION OF REGULATIONS
Provides for Sweeping Restrlc-
ton of Storage and Sale OF
Ammunition.

Nevor Gavnor will be asked in few
days to lend his favor and influence 10
new proposition which in effect Will e@
tend the principle of the safe ana sane
Fourth which the city's head chanploneo
so stoutly and effectively this year
The proposition is a general revision OF
the regulations regarding the MANUFACTURE
Transportation, storage and SAFE OF am
rounition within the limits of the city or
New York This revision already has oeen
made by the Municipal Explosives Commis-
sion the bcdv which passed the resolution
forbidding the sale of fireworks in buildings
not equipped with automatic sprinklers OF
in tenement or dwelling houses
The commission, rejoicing at the success
Of that resolution, was Influenced IN the
matter of revising the ammunition resolu-
tions by desire, among others, TO lessen
the large number of indiscriminate shoot
ngs which occur every year, not 1e" OF
which result in loss Of life
One Of the provisions proposed by the
Municipal Explosives Commission to BRING
about this result is the substitution OF
$50 annual license in place of the present
insignificant 3 fee for the storage and sale
Of ammunition within the cltys limits
This increased license fee, it is confidently
expected, Will lililII L+4O IioOO - -~--
and the like TO more responsible class OF
people generally. Hitherto it has been pos
sible for the smallest storekeeper, and even
fiy-by-night stands, to keep these articles
for sale, and such places have been no
torious for selling them without any scru-
pie whatever to boys or other equally care
less and irresponsible persons.
The Municipal Explosives Commission IS
composed of Peter Acritelli, General George
Eaton, Frederick J. Maywald and Sydney
Harris The commission has fully forT1u-
lated it's proposed revision Of the srnnuni-
ton regulations, but before submitting 1t
to the Mayor and the Fire Commissioner
the commission will go to Bridgeport,
Conn, where a cartridge manufacturing
company has offered to give denonstra-
ton Stimulating as nearly as possible the
actual conditions in case OF hre IN
place where cartridges are stored.
The same concern will show the commits
sion the comparative effects of the ex-
plosion of black and smokeless powders,
all these exhibitions having direct bear
ing on the new work which has been en-
gaging the commissions attention since the
success New York attained with its first
safe and sane Fourth.
In the revision Of the regulations regard
ing ammunition as prepared by the COM
mission for Mayor Gaynor Section says;
THE Fire Commissioner may in his dis
cretion fix the maximum quantity of am
nunitton to be stored in any premises
for which a permit has been applied. and
shall cause the maximum quantity to be
stated in the permit The section then
goes on to fix a maximum quantity for
various explosives, which the Comn1is-

TRUSTEE DIED A BANKRUPT
Creditors of Mount Vernon Lawyer s
Estate Lucky to Get s Per Cent.

L developed yesterday in the Westches-
ter County Surrogates Court that Charles
H Ostrander q well known lawyer OF
Mount Vernon. who died about a year
ago and was supposed to be worth several
hundred thousand dollars, was really a
bankrupt
Mr.. Ostrander was trustee and executor
Of many estates, and several of the heirs
have since brought suit for an accounting.
After an investigation covering several
months Milo J. White, attorney for the
estate, yesterday filed a report
Il shows that the creditors will be lucky
II they realize eight cents on the dollar
On several Of the estates Mr.. Ostrander
had not made an accounting in years
Surrogate Nillard adjourned the final ac-
counting until September 96

EGGS BY THE POUND NOW
DriscoII Sure That Way Will Be
Best for Voters of City.
BREAD ON SCALES, TOO
Commissioner Will Overlook No
Chance to Get Honest
Measure.

Gradually Commissioner Driscoll Of the
Department of Weights and Measures Is
going to enforce the ordinance recently
signed by the Mayor which provides that
all provisions and other commodities shall
be sold by measure or weight, except
vegetables sold by the head or bunch"
One of the most striking changes will be
that requiring the sale of eggs by weight
Commissioner Driscoll holds that with eggs
at so or 40 cents a dozen it is folly to say
that g. small egg is worth as much as a
large one. He also declares that weighing
eggs will be Of advantage to the customer
in the matter Of freshness, as a stale egg
weighs more than a fresh one
A test made yesterday shows that eggs
average about two ounces. or eight to the
pound, but they varied considerably on
either side Of that weight. 1t will be pos
sible, the Commissioner says, to charge for
the exact weight of the eggs sold, just as
Is done in cuts Of meat, the weight rarely
being the exact amount suggested by the
customer.
It is said that the wholesaler now buys
his eggs by weight, and if he should sell
them to the retailer that way the latter
would sell them to his customers in the
same way. Commissioner Driscoll is going
to enforce the ordinance first by calling
the attention of the wholesalers to it.
Bread will also have to be sold by weight
in the future The law does not fix a
standard weight for a loaf Of bread, but
the retailer will not be able to charge as
much for a light loaf as for a heavy one
in the future This will have a tendency
to do away with the common variety Of
porous bread, Commissioner Driscoll be-
ieves.
Commissioner Driscon will insist right
away that food products in cans and pack
ages be stamped with their true measure
or weight. Since the pure food law went
into effect it has been the practice Of
wholesalers TO put up their products and
sell them by the package, indicated by
numbers or brands. In this way they
have been able to get more money for a
given amount of goods. In the future the
retail purchaser will have the satisfaction
of knowing just how much he is getting
for his money in weight or measure.
In looking for fraudulent scales ComI7iis-
sioner Driscoll has found several instances
where dealers have trained powerful cleo
trio fans on the pan of balance scales SO
as to influence the weight in their favor.
Yesterday afternoon Commissioner Dris-
coll had a preliminary conference with the
representatives of scale manufacturers in
this and other cities. He has arranged to
go more into detail next week On Monday
the makers Of spring scales will have a
hearing. On Wednesday the makers Of
balance scales will appear. Friday morn
ing the makers of fine chemist and dia-
n,ond balances will discuss their product
with the Commissioner. In the future all
scales must be tested and sealed by a city
inSpector before theY are sold.

A YANKEE CONSUL RETURNS
Berliner Dreams of Tall Build
ings for the Canaries.

Solomon Berliner. who may yet inspire
some author to write one Of the six best
sellers" to be known as The Man VINO
Would Be Consul" came in yesterday
from Teneriffe on the White Star liner
Arabic.
No Homecoming from Elba was ever as
tame as the return Of the Yankee consul
who banished himself to the Canary Isl
ands some nine years ago.
No cannon doomed welcome. and there
was no strenuous handshaking on the way
UP the bay. The forts were silent, but
what they lacked in the way of warm
greeting in noise was counterbalanced by
the abnormally high temperature.
A wee belated celebrant of the sane
Fourth fred cracker into the sea at
the Battery as the Arabic was abeam. but
Mr. Berliner heard it not
He was comparing lower Manhattan
with Teneriffe and thinking how fine 1t
would be to have a Singer Building on
the Canary Islands
Mr. Berliner did not say It in so many
words, but he intinated it took bird OF
a consul to boost American exports to the
islands from $3.50, 600 to s1,000,000 a year.
The job pays S2500 year. and there are
no perquisites, except Spanish lessons
which any native is glad to teach for
mere recognition. The canaries also give
vocal lessons gratis
Occasionally a German steamship dumps
on the beach a few half fed but worthy
shipwrecked American sailormen who have
been chasing whales too far from New
Bedford. At such a time as this Mr. Ber-
liner has to send the men away.
Mr.. Berliner. whom his friends call
the Faithful Islander" is here on two
months leave.

BABIES MAY GET HOSPITAL
Government May Lease Unused Build.
ing to the CITY.

Congressman Bennett and Goldfogle called
on the Mayor yesterday to suggest that the
city use the hospital built by the inlmigra-
ton authorities on Ellis Island. II was
erected by the federal government for i'm
migrants suffering from communicable dis
eases but the Health Board decided that
such cases would have TO be treated at the
regular quarantine hospitals, further down
the bay.
The ConsTessmen suggested that It would
be q great thing II the city could conduct
the hospital. which is equipped with fifty
beds. for the sick babies Of the tenements.
The Mayor seemed TO be much impressed
with the idea and said he would take it
up with the Health Commissioner and the
Charities Commissioner.
The government would probably lease the
building at a nominal figure, and the city
would have TO provide attendants and ser
vice.

DECISION FAVORS GRESSER
Indictment Dismissed-Charges
May Be Resubmitted.

The last paragraph Of the decision handed
down by Justice Garretson in dismissing
the Indictment charging that Lawrence
Gresser, President of the Borough of
Queens, had audited a fraudulent claim of
sS52 against the city. came as a check to
the enthusiasm of the Gresser partisans
yesterday. A crowd of politicians had as
sembled In the room of the Queens County
Supreme Court, in Long Island City, yes
terday morning, and while every one in the
courtroom was prepared for a decision of
dismissal, none expected the shock of that
final paragraph, which reads:
This conclusion (the dismissal of the in
dictmenO will not preclude an application
to the court for a resubmission Of the
charge to another grand jury should other
and legal evidence be found which shall
justify such procedure
In addition to dampening the enthusiasm
the paragraph was also considered a par
tial vindication for the grand jury which
returned the Indictment, the inference being
that, after all, there may be something yet
lurking in the charge made against Mr.
Gresser.
Immediately following the reading OF the
decision several friends arose to shake
hands with Gresser. but, waving them all
aside, he started out of the room and hur-
ried from the building.
