hVSS Iildh oU DAYS intervene before
the opening of the department en-
campment of the G. A. r. As the
big event draws near, the committees
In charge are rebuilding their efforts
to have everything in readiness for
the entertainment of the visitors. A
well attended meeting of the general
committee of arrangements was held
Tuesday evening at which some i'm
portant matters were decided.
On account of the prospects of a
much larger attendance than was at
first anticipated. it was decided to
abandon the plan of maintaining a
commissary department and serving
meals at the park and instead to is
sue tickets to the visitors which will
be good for meals at the restaurants

church organizations A special COM
mittee was appointed to take this
matter up with the restaurant keep

Wartime Pictures
Professor Kimbrough reported
that he had Investigated the matter
of securing war time moving pictures
and that two or three reels could be
secured and thrown on the screen at
the College Auditorium between the
acts of Gettysburg" at an approx
mate cost of SIS. He was instructed
to make the necessary arrangements.
The committee on accommodate ns
reported that the bill providing for
the loaning of tents to Pullman by
the war department had been passed
but that the equipment would have
to come from San Francisco and the
freight charges for bringing and re-
turning it would be so high that they
had found that money could be saved
by renting a sufficient number of
tents from F. o. Berg of Spokane.
Their action was approved.
1t was decided to widen the pri-
vate street leading from Main street
to the park entrance, so as to avoid
any danger of accidents On ac-
count of the absence of Chas. Tim
bin from the city Professor Kim
brough was appointed to act as vice
chairman of the committee on pro-
gram, and this committee was au-
thorized to prepare the official pro-
gram to conform with the general

BOXING IN THE GARDEN
State Commission Grants a L.
CenSe to New Club.
BIG BOUTS ON THE CARD
Johnny Kilbane and "Knockout"
Brown May Meet in the
Opening Battle.

All uncertainty , concerning Madison
Square Garden as a home for boxing was
banished when the state Boxing Commits
sion at its weekly meeting I'm the Park Row
building yesterday afternoon granted Ii
cense TO the Garden Athletic Club. The
lease takes effect on April 81, and 1t is
understood that closely following this date
the first bout will be held.
Application on behalf of the club for a
license showed that the organization was
Incorporated on April and has filed a
bond Of $4,000 with the State Controller.
One Of the requirements before a club can
receive a license is that It must hold a
lease for at least year on the building it
occupies The Garden Athletic Clubs lease
is for longer period than this. 1t is said
that the club is paying an annual rental of
$4,000.
The officers Of the club are: President,
Stephen VI. Van Allen, who was manager
Of the sportsman's shows: treasurer, Will
lam II. Randel No. 81 Manhattan avenue;
secretary. Thomas ]. Ryan. No. l719 Madi-
son avenue Timothy Hurst, former base
tan umpire and boxing referee. is the
matchmaker for the club.
The Garden Athletic Club will have 2
. reat advantage over other boxing clubs in
the city in putting on big contests because
o. the seating capacity Of the building.
1t Is said that an action in court TO re-
view the decision of the Boxing Commits
sion in revoking the license of the Madison
SQUARE Athletic Club is still pending. The
g-ound for reJokng the license was that
the club did not have a valid lease AT
Il, L Y,rogilaOf Of the
GLIB and Harry Pollock contended that their
lease was within the legal requirements
although it was acknowledged that the sale
Of the Garden to the F. and d. Company
would result in the tearing down Of the
building before the lease expired.
According TO those in touch with the new
club only bouts between prominent boxers
will be arranged. Packy Mcfarland Matt
Wells, Ad Wolgast Knockout Brown
Mike Gibbons, Johnny Kilbane and Sam
langford will be seen in action there from
time TO time. 1t is not unlikely that Kill
bane and Brown will put up their hands
there a few days after the elephants turn
tneir backs on the place.
John Tyrrell, one of the owners of the
=. mixers Athletic Club, complained TO the
commission that a boxer by the name OF
Tom Dorsey was to have appeared against
boy by the name of Williams at recent
show given by the club. Tyrrell said that
Dorsey was a substitute, and as he was
speedily knocked out the patrons Of the
place were disgruntled Even so, the afore-
said Dorsey got away with his share Of the
money. The Yonkers man wanted the com
mission to make Dorsey return the money
Decision was reserved pending further evil
dence, although the commission assured
Tyrrel that an inspector would keep close
watch on the club in future in an endeavor
to prevent repetition of the trouble.

CROSSING VETO FAILS
Governor Wilson Sends Message
to Wrong Branch of Legislature.
PIERCE BILL NOW A LAW
Charges Made That Executive
Tried to Aid Railroads and
Went Back on Pledges.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

! Trenton, April l0.-Governor Wilson, much
to the surprise OF his friends, vetoed the
! Pierce grade crossing bill tonight, on the
ground that It YVES unfair to the railroads,
| and charges were freely made around the
State House that the Governor had disap-
proved the most important act OF the
| present Legislature I'm order to obtain the
| support of the railroad fnanciers and their
| friends in his candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for President.
The Pierce bill IS now law, In spite OF
| the veto Of Governor Wilson, according to
! Speaker McCran, because the Governor, In
his haste sent his message disappearing 1t
to the Senate instead of to the Assembly
where the bill originated. Upton S. JEFF
freys, clerk Of the House. certified that the
| bill originated I'm the Assembly when he
! sent it to the Governor, and this fact shows
that It is n House bill so far as the records
are concerned.
The veto of Governor Wilson, which Is
included in a string Of forty-two messages
disappearing bills, sent to the Legislature
! tonight, is far different from the speech
he delivered in Elizabeth last october. At
that time the Governor accused the Repub-
licans of inslncerlty in pledgng themselves
10 pass an act providing for the elimination
OF dangerous crossings at railroad expense.
He said he believed the railroads should
pay all the expense involved and urged the
election of Democratic Legislature, which
he said, would at once begin the wping out
OF grade crossings at the expense Of the
railroads
The Governor apparently has either for
% bat haa apraip changed
his mind, for i'm his message tonight he
urges that the whole question be left 10 the
Public Utilities Commission, which commits
sion shall have power to make the munich
pallties pay whatever proportion Of the cost
oil elimination the commission may decide
upon. These recommendations agree IN
generally with the substitute for the Pierce
bill prepared by the railroad attorneys.
which was offered by Assemblyman De
l'nger. chairman of the Railroad and Canal
Committee Of the House. and was promptly
voted down by his Republican colleagues.
Governor Wilson also vetoed the Edge
redistricting hill. the incidental appropria-
ton bill, the Smalley trackless trolley bill
and the joint resolution providing for an
investigation Of the Morris Canal
other bills TO incur the Governors dis
pleasure were the Lowry bill. giving whole
sale liquor dealers the right 10 sell in mu-
inequalities other than those I'm which they
are located: the Newark ward redistribut-
ing bill the two Newark Board Of Works
bills. the bill providing for the reclamation

WANT BRONX COUNTY VETOED.

The New York Board of Trade and Trans
portation at its monthly meeting. held yes
terday at No 203 Broadway. voted unani-
mously 10 send resolution to Governor
Dix, requesting him to veto the Bronx
county bill. which is now before him. The
only possible advantage which could be ad-
vanced for the bill. It was said. was the
creation of two or three hundred new po-
litical jobs. while the separation OF the
districts would materially affect the bonds
of New York County.
The board approved the removal Of Ganse-
WORT Market to permit the construction Of
piers to accommodate the Olympic type OF
