WOULD KEEP CITY LAND
Mayor Vetoes Bill of Conveyance
to Baptist Home Society.

Navor Gaynor yesterday vetoed the Dill
authorizing the city to convey for nomi-
nal consideration to the Baptist Home So
ciety the plot of ground that it now occu-
pies under a lease from the city The
lease was obtained in 1870 for ninety-nine
wears at 81 a year. The trustees of the
institution frankly say their object in ask
ing for deed to the land is that they
may sell or improve It for commercial
purposes, moving their home to the coun-
try.
The city has already conveyed land IN
two similar cases, but the Mayor says that
the precedent should not be followed In
his veto memorandum he says, in part:
1t is in like case with five other private
sectarian institutions, located on the
blocks bounded by East 66th and East 69tn
streets and Third and Park avenues, IN
Manhattan. All six got leases from thy
city for ninetY-nine years in about lS.i
10 1S75 at nominal rent of the plots they
occupy They are the Mount Sinai Hos
pital the Chaplin Home, the Institution
for Deaf Mutes, the Hahnemann Hospital
the New York Founding Asylum and the
Baptist Home Society.
The land so leased to them is now OF
the value of more than $5,000OO0. The hrst
two Of the said institutions obtained the
passage of an act the same as this bill
and through il obtained Of the city con-
veyances in fee of their leasehold prop
erty for nominal consideration. This was
done in 1908 and 1909.
The Hahnemann Hospital procured the
passage of a like act. The deed OF con-
veyance to II under the said act was pre-
sented for the Mayors signature shortly
after l became Mayor. After considera,
ton l refrained from delivering the said
deed. / feel that ! would not be justified
I'm delivering it. nor would be justified in
accepting for the city the bill now before
me.
l am informed that the other three In
stitutions have similar bills before the
LEGISLATURE. I think the city dealt very
generously with these private institutions
i'm leasing to them the land for ninety-nins
years at nominal rent. To ask the city
now when the leases are about half spent
to convey the land in fee to the several
| institutions so that they may sell IL o,
! improve II for residence or commercial
uses is. l think. going too far.
II is true that that has been done in
| the case Of two Of them already and
cannot be recalled. That is held up as q
reason for doing the like In the case oi
| the other four. But I am unable 10 accept
| that as a reason. This society is sectariar
and private and the city has no contro

GARDNER STRONG WITH CUE
Beats Mayer in Billiard Match
for Interstate Trophy.

Edward W. Gardner won the first leg on
the interstate challenge cup, the trophy OF
fered by the Arion Billiard Club for anna
teur competition. Gardner, I'm the hall OF
the Arlon Society, at seth street and
Park avenue. last night defeated Joseph
Mayer, the Philadelphia champion, by a
score of 800 points to 262. Gardner fin
ished his string with an average of IL 1-23
and high runs Of 70, 81 and S2. Mayer
average was IL 2O-22 and his best runs 30,
3i and 81.
Because of what appeared to be mis-
understanding with the National Assocl-
alton of Amateur Billiard Players no sane
ton was secured for the match. Conse-
quently, both of the contesting players stand
as suspended under the rules OF the ma
tional association, which were promulgated
last year, and which went into effect on
January l. During the progress Of the
match Gardner, q former Class A cham
pion, laughingIy acknowledged himself an
outlaw"
Both Of the men played well. Mayer In
his run of 30 made masse shot in the
centre Of the table that was worthy of a
Hoppe. Gardner overhauled his opponent
at the close with run Of 70 that con-
tanned some sterling qarroms in the way OF
cushion and draw shots.

organized vice and crime and immortality. One of tic
potent of these organized church movements is
that against the saloon Other efforts to against
the saloon have amused rather than alarmed the liquor
interests But when the church got into action against
the saloon through the Anti-Saoon League it ceased
to be joke The we'll trained persistent pounding of
her guns has made many breach in the defense OF the
enemy and there is CONSERVATION in the liquor camp.
Little wonder that they moving heaven and earth
to destroy the League They know the League is as
strong as the church, and they know, too, that the
gates of He'll prevail against her. In the fed
Grated church the liquor traffic reads its doom, for it
knows that no SIM matter how thoroughly organic

itazed stand against the persistent attack OF the

A Deserved Tribute

In these days when throwing stones at the church
seems to be popular DIVERSION it is refreshing to read
such splendid tribute to her power for righteousness
as that recently paid by Judge Fawcet OF New York
The Outlook quotes him as saying:
Approximately 1900 cases have been brought be-
fore me in my five and half years of service on the
bench During all this time have never had to try
man who was at the time of the alleged oense or ever
had been an active member of the church..
That should be answer enough for those who have
been insisting that the church has lost her power. SO
far from that it comes the truth to say her re-
straining influence was so great as now. Her
standard was never held so high, and her communi-
cants never lived on so high plane of personal
morality.
If any Indictment holds against the church 1t is not
that she has lowered the standard for her members or
has lost her power to hold her members to that stan
dard but rather that she has not been aggressive
she might and should have been in the promotion and
enforcement of public morals. She has stood by and
seen organized and capitalized sin grow to colossal
proportions and tremendous power without offering
concerted determined opposition, contentlng herself
largely with protecting her own against these social
evils
Tn recent years, however, she has come into
new social consciousness and has assumed definite,
militant attitude toward these social wrongs. By or
oanized concerted endeavor she has made upon
