mination of a romantic attachment be-

understood the act they had taken, they
were DESTROYS that the marriage be an

families and the children, it was de-

nulled on account of their youth and .
inexperience. This they themselves

EXPECT POLICE BILL FIGHT
Citizens Committee to Combat
Wagner Measure Opposition.

Robert s. Binkerd, secretary Of the
citizens committee appointed az the
Cooper Union mass meeting OF August
Il. 1872 said last night that "all the
forces OF blind conservatism and OF
inertia" were concentrating against the
Wagner bill which would take from the
police force all responsibility for the sup
preston of vice in the city and repose Il
In board OF public welfare.
I'VE realize" said he that many con-
sentative citizens who have not keenly
studied either the police or vice problems
may not be convinced OF the desirability
Of separation on first consideration. but
Il seems a shame to US that organizations
of respectable men more or less con-
sciously oppose any solution, no matter
how good, OF this perplexed problem. be-
cause to attempt such solution Is 10 min
imize what they expect to be a leading
ana successful issue OF the municipal
campaign"
Mr.. Binkerd thought that the provision
of the bin were being misrepresented. He
quoted Frank Moss. the First Assistant
District Attorney. as saying that the bill
would enable the present Mayor TO re
move from the control of the next admin
istration the most critical portion OF the
work of the Police Department"

ment OF his reasons for taking such ac-
ton. provided the members of the Board

In April, according to figures COM
piled by William 3. Treadwell, jewelry
examiner at the Appraisers Stores. the
gem imports amounted to S3,S9S,6S1,
the largest receipts ever recorded for
that month. This is an advance Of
more than $4,000 for the totals for
the corresponding month last year and
more than $4,000 over the previous
record. made In April, 1906
OF the gems received during the
month OF April, the cut precious stones
and pearls totalled S2,534.3jS, and the
uncut gems, mostly diamonds, $1.364,
