PETER PAPPS PRESSES PANTS
Formerly Polichronios Papadakis
Eliminated Wrinkles.

About thirty years ago there was born at
Scarpanto. the little Mediterranean island
belonging to Turkey. one Poichronios
Papadakis. That was a perfectly good and
portable name in that part Of the world
mate authorizations.
But Papadakis moved TO New York. He
opened tailoring establishment at No. go
West i0th street and he had no complaint
about the way he was treated in this land
of the free and of many peculiar cogno-
mems His business prospered and his health
remained good. but what are all these con
siderations To a man IN New York whose
name is Poichronios Papadaks? Some
people believed that the two names We're
made up Of those belonging TO the nine
tailors who it has been sung make
man.
The customers Of Papadaks had a hard
time of it pronouncing the name OF the
tailor. end this gave them some annoy
ance, as it also did him. Most of them
called him Pete for short, and others called
him Papa. So Papadakis decided that he
would get himself name that everybody
could pronounce without consulting a pro
nouncing dictionary. He applied to the
City Court for permission to bear a new
name.
Sticking TO the ALTERATION he selected
the name Of Peter Papps, which he said
would help his business much more than
do POlichTonios Papadahs. Judge Schmuck
granted the necessary permission yesterday
and henceforth his sign Will read: Peter

WANTS FAIRGROUNDS OPEN
Mayor Prefers Home Musical
Talent to Early Closing.

Mayor Gaynor expressed his disapproval
yesterday of the early closing OF the roof
Fairgrounds of the public schools and the

take the place Of professional musicians
IN these places to prolong the use Of these
centres. in a letter to Edward W. Stitt.
district superintendent of schools, No. 500
Park avenue, the Mayor wrote:
The beautiful dancing and the games
which / saw on the roof Fairgrounds Of
the public schools. and the large number
of boys and girls and young people who
were there enjoying themselves, impressed
me very greatly. ] agree with you that
they should not be closed as early as Au-
gust 26 | am not altogether certain that
they could not be kept open without hired
music OF course, the dancing needs music
but why should they not be kept open
for games?
| am also OF the opinion that the people
who attend these Fairgrounds would inn
prcVise their own music II they had any
announcement whatever. We cannot al
WAYS have hired music. The people i'm
provise their music all over the state, and
/ am very certain there is as much If not
more. musical talent and artistic tempera-

NEED NOT PAY FOR FUNERAL
Widow Was Sued by Brother of
Husband for Expenses He Met.

Surrogate Fowler decided yesterday that
Mrs Joseph p. Moran need not reimburse
brother OF her husband for the expenses
Of the latter's funeral. which the brother
paid out without any understanding with
the widow that II was TO be repaid out Of
the estate.
Moran died in Texas and his brother had
his body brought to New York for burial.
estate of her husband was Sos. while his
brother received $li5. The funeral cost
$24S, which the brother sought 10 recover
from Mrs Moran. as administrative Of the
estate.
AT the funeral" said Surrogate Fowler.
referring TO the brother. he obtruded him
self in the first mourning coach and told
the widow in substance that she might go
along with him if she pleased and that he
thought as much OF the deceased as did the
widow" Speaking of the brothers con-
duct. the Surrogate said: His conduct at
the funeral was not only singular. but most
incOnsiderate TO the widow, who was by
established custom the chief mourner on
the occasion. and. as administrative, the
person to regulate the funeral
The Surrogate added that the brother S
management of the funeral seemed to show
there was no understanding that Mrs.
Moran was to repay him. The widow is in
poor circumstances. while the brother got
the proceeds of an insurance policy left by
Moran. Also. said the Surrogate, the fu-
neral In New York was not necessary, nor
was il obligatory on any one to bring the
body from Texas. While actuated by a
properly fraternal sentiment, 1t did not
make the widow liable.

MAY AFFECT HOME FIREARMS
Whitman Says Sullivan Law Is for the
Courts to Construe.

The new Sullivan law regulating the
sale and carrying Of revolvers and other
firearms goes into effect tomorrow. Asked
yesterday whether It would prevent per-
sons from keeping revOlvers I'm their own
homes. District Attorney Whitman said
he thought the law referred only TO a
person having a revolver in his own
physical possession. but he said there
might have to be d test case made TO set
tie the point.
Although the law and that interpreta-
ton Of it," said Mr.. Whitman, may have
10 be tested in the courts. / believe that
under the statute citizen has a perfect
right to have a revolver In his home.
The only phrase in the new law that has
been interpreted as meaning that man
should not have revolver in his own
home. making II misdemeanor. is that
wOrded, has in his possession.
Il do not think the law is aimed to
forbid the lawabiding citizen from keep
ing a revolver in his home, as has been
intimated from many sides. If this were
the case, the law would make IL mis-
demeanor for one To have In his home any
OLD curios relics, and so forth, which
often include many ancient firearms"
This is the section that refers 10 the
keeping OF revolver I'm the home:
Any person over the age OF sixteen
years VINO shall have IN his possession
~ any city, village or town OF this state
any pistol. revolver or other firesrm, Of
size which may be concealed upon the
person, without a written license there
for. issued To him by police magistrate.

the peace Of such town. or I'm such man
rer as may be prescribed by ordinance, in
such city. village or town shall be guilty

The arrest of Stevens was a surprise to
the Montclar officials, who had arranged

other alternative to the court but to i'm

The game wardenS, MesSrs. Shorter and

RAIN PLEASES Mr.. THOMPSON
Says He May Not Put Through
Ten Mile River Project.

Although Commissioner Thompson OF the
Department Of Water Supply has lost that
worried look, because If the rainfalls holh
normal from now on there will be no wa
ter famine, as had been feared earlier In
the season, at the same time he VIII ap-
near before the Board of Estimate to-day
in support of his request for an appropria-
ton for 81 10000 TO tap the Ten Mile River
II Is agreed that this supply cannot pos
sibly he used this year, not only because
the connection could not be made in time
but also because the river Is dried up now
the same as other streams.
Commissioner Thompson figures, how
ever. that If he gets the connection he can
draw off the water from the river during
the winter and store it in the Croton sys-
TEN for use against possible drouth next
summer
He said Yesterday he was not entirely
sure that he would put through the Ten
Mile River project. but he wants to have
the money available and the contracts all
prepared. so that IT, at the end Of the sea-
son. he finds there is not enough surplus
to carry the city through safely another
year. he may go ahead at once with the
plan.
The average rainfall on the Croton wa
tershed for the twenty-four hours ended
at a. m. yesterday was 10 Of an inch.
This, taken with the nearly two inches of
Monday and the precipitation for the four
or five days before that, has amounted in
all 10 about five inches Of fall. Commls-
sioner Thompson is hopeful that on &C
count of the moisture in the ground, he
may get considerably over 25 per cent OF
that amount. 1t is estimated that the gain
TO the reservoirs will be from thirty to
thirty-ive days supply.
The commissioner said he hoped that
the Board of Estimate would give him the
81 200 O00 to-day. He will ask the consent
Of the Board Of Aldermen at it's next meet
ing on September 49, The New York Cen
trail Railroad has given permission 70 the
city to run a seven-mie connection be-
tween the Ten Mile River and the Croton
system alongside its tracks. so the city
will not have to negotiate for any right of
way. Commissioner Thompson estimates
that when the Ten Mile River was running
full il would furnish about 100000 gal
Ions a day.
