Windsor Ferry Co.. brought the down
river season to a close. Amherstburg,
at which port the steamers touch, go
ing to and returning from the island,
Is always sorry to see the end of the
season, and the townspeople gather
on the dock to bid the boats and their
passengers fond farewell. IL is also
customary for the dredges and other
craft along the river at the burg to
give the excursion steamers noisy
send-off, footing their whistles until
the island ships are far up the river.
There was slight change in this
years program the citizens of Am
and many from the sur
rounding country, were-eA- hand in
large numbers, but the deafening
screeches of the dredges were miss
ing. Two dredges gave regulation sa-
lutes as the steamer Columbia steam
ed away, but nothing of the old style
OF demonstration ras attempted. The
reason for the change was the pass
ing OF a bylaw by The town council
against the pIdCticc, Mayor atho
that the noise was harm
full to sick people in the town. The

NEW YORK, Sept. with Mayor
William ]. Gaynor as the first witness
the aldermanic probe into the alleged
alliance between the underworld and
the New York police department be-
gan this afternoon in city hall. The
mayor was permitted to use his own
judgment regarding how he should
testify.
Commissioner Waldo will be called
as the next witness, and II is expected
by the probers that they will show
that Waldo has been hoodwinked and
duped throughout by his closest ad'
visors.
There is an absolute understanding
between the committee and Justice
Con and District Attorney Whitman
No witnesses who might gain immun
ity by testifying and none needed as
principals or witnesses at the John

TO testify.

morrow, and while 1t is generally
conceded that he will be convicted
there is plenty OF betting that thu
