gives 70 the statement ne makes every
presumption OF accuracy and truth.
1t Is d%ificult for me to read the In.
dorsement OF Col. Garrard. set forth in
this letter. with patience and without
condemnatory words that had better
not be written. l wish o would ex-
anime the reorcd and verify the state
ments of Mr.. Wolf. and. II he has not
been misinformed-and his letter sets
forth the ~facts-direct that this young
man he admitted to examination for n
lieutenancy in the army.
The statements made by Col. Gar
rnrd are not true with reference to the
standing that Jews have In this coun-
try, and ] resent. rs com~mander-in-
chief OF the army and the navy, that
any officer OF either should permit him
self In an official document to give evil
dence of such %unfounded n narrow

Endorsement.
After you have made an examine

your action. Sincerely yours,
wv. II. TAFT"
Word OF the rcprlmand Issued from
| the White House to-day was as follows.
Tho President directs the Secretary
Of War to inform Col. Garrard that his
attitude in this matter is strongly dis
approved as contrary to the Ideals and
| principles OF this country.
col. Garrard has been told that he
had not the moral right to exert influ-
ence In his oficial position to bar the
advancement OF a courageous and efh.
c,ent young man simply because tina,
man was of jewish race, that such pro-
| cedure indicates not only prejudice that
should not be found In IN officer OF his
position and experience. but amounts
TO a failure to justly and fairly con
slider the merits and claims OF the ap'
p.lcant as shown by hi seflcient servlc,
and excellent standing IN the menta
examinations.

to avoid a repetition OF the action taker

WILL URGE ACTION
BY ESTIMATE BOARD
IN A RESOLUTION.

An amazing evidence Of municipal In
activity lies In the fact that New York,
with the ocean and its health giving
waters inc breezes at Its very gate
way. should have been so negligent in
awaiting itself of the splendid oppor-
,unities OF adequate park grounds on
the beach front.
The Evening World has consistently
urged that the municipal authorities
wake up and appropriate for the peo-
Pile a breathing spot at Coney Island.
The recent fire opens the door Of OPP
portunlty, clearing the buildings from
1000 feet of beautiful bathing sands d.
rectiy adjoining the city's wretchedly
Tiny Seaside Park.
A maritime city. New York Is without
an ocean park worthy OF the name. a
few recreation piers along the rivers,
and the few hundred fleet of beach
front at Coney Island. represent the
| city's sum total In water front reser-
walton where the whole people can get
the benefit.
The Evening World advocates the ulti-
mate possession by the city OF the en-
tire water front at Coney Island. This
| will transform the entire appearance
Of the popular resort and send the
business interests back from the ocean
to the uplands. where there Is ample
room for the amusement features.
A powerful argument that NOW IL
THE TIME TO ACT has been made by
Borough President McAneny OF Man
haitian. He points out that transit aar'
rangements are now being perfected to
at least double the facilities for carry
ing people to Coney Island. without
providing a single foot OF Additional
space at the great resort for those who
may avail themselves OF the new OPP
~portunities.
Mr.. McAneny has suggested tina
Borough President steers OF Brooklyn

sideration Of the whole problem OF a
greater seaside park at Thursday
meeting OF the BOARD OF Estimate ans

Alderman Alexander S, Drescher OF

favors immediate steps toward getting
more of the beach for the use OF pain

Joining the burned area. Afer a visli

PENDANTS family and their sad predica-
ment. and mentioned the fact that

In reply Justice Davis said that the
statute defined two degrees Of punish
ment for the crime OF which O'Reilly
had been convicted. One was impris-

five years. The other was six months
Imprisonment.
But Justice Davis added. ''the

SIX CAR R0WD|ES
SENT TO PRISON
BY ANGRY JUDGE
Magistrate Says He Is Deter
mined to Put an End to
Such Disturbances.

Six of the young rowdies who were
arrested last night by the Astoria pre-
cinct reserves for making a disturbance

town we're sentenced to jail to-day by
Magistrate Smith in the Long Island
City police court.
The Magistrate also announced that
his course in regard to all prisoners
brought before him on a similar charge
would be to administer the laws limit
az to punishment. He said he would
stop the rowdyism that was making
travel on the trolley lines between Man

had to station special policemen all
along the route OF the car line.

street were both sentenced to five days.
The arrests were made at the Wood
side car barns near Winfield. The row
started shortly after the car left the
park In the Newtown section. The
young men had seized a young girl and
were tearing her clothing when the mo-
torman ran his car back to the barns,
knowing that a special police force
was there. The young men denied that
they had seized the girl.
The trouble on Sundays Is said by
Magistrate Smith to be due to the
dollar rackets' in vogue in the parks
n because OF the through trolley SER
vice over the Queensborough Bridge.
Tickets costing a dollar are sold en-
titl!ng the holder to all the beer he
can drink. and this leads to the dis
