the new crimes and punishment act

In connection with this law the

1T has taken year to find that
two laws on the same subject nave

tleally nulllfy the other.
"The result came after hundreds oil

SULzER SNUBS
TAMMANY DINNER
Advertised as Speaker and
Guest Of Honor: RjnesIn-
stead With Reformers

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Politicians
generally were wondering today
whether there was any real esignifi-
canoe in The fact that Gov.-elect Sulzer
not only attended dinner by the
City club. last night. at which most
of those present were well-known re-
formers, but that he remained away
from the dinner; OF the Tammany Hall
speakers bureau, at which he had
been advertised to be the only speaker
and the guest of honor,
Sulzer himself has gone into re-
tirement, TO prepare his message TO
the legislature, and as hin secretary
refused to make known his where
abouts, no explanation from him was
obtainable early today. Because OF
his failure to appear, George r.
Shrady, toastm2ster-at the Tammany
dinner, had to, chhnx1 thc-PFogram
for an otherwise -speechless" dinner.
II was Nearly midnight when the
Tammany diners we're told by Shrady
that "Gov-elect Sulzer finds II impos-
sible to keep his engagement to be
our guest" The announcement was
received I'm absolute silence by the
diners.
At the City club dinner, Sulzer
fatty declared that he intended con-
Quoting a reform administration at
Albany.
Honesty, simplicity, efficiency and
economy are TO be the watchwords,
