OF abolishing the local boards or hedlth

OF $1,000. rs his office was as impor-
tant as a Public Service Commissioner.
Or Frank Overton, Health Oticer OF
Patchogue. said the laws did not compel

more Capitalization
Or. John : Winslow, Health Officer or

AFTER 100000 PEARLS
Thieves Tools Too Fine To Be
English, Say London Police.

London Jan. 21.-A determined but
unsuccessful attempt was made on Sat
urday night or Sunday TO steal s400.000
worth OF pearls from the establishment
Of Mark Rubin, jewel marchant. OF No.
80 Holborn Niaduct. In the opinion OF
Scotland Yard. the burglary was the
work OF gang of American thieves.
The most elaborate and costly set of
electrical tools and appliances ever seen
by the London police was left behind.
In addition TO a portable electric light
plant they abandoned twenty cylinders
Of oxygen and other gas.
A tent was erected around the safe
10 screen the operators from observa-
ton. They succeeded in cutting
large hole i'm the outer casing Of the
safe. which. however. was Of the most
modern construction. The inner shell
frustrated their efforts. and the con-
tents OF the safe. including a vast
quantity Of pearls. were found intact.
The burglars apparently were dis
turbed while at work, and made their
escape.

Ten Reasons for Gaynor.

Il opposed Mayor Gaynor on the sub
way proposition" said Mr.. Lustgarten,
but taking him by and large he has
given us the best administration We
ever had. And this is also true Of the
entire Board of Estimate
Mr. Lustgarten gave ten reasons why
he believed Mavor Gaynor ought to be
reelected. Here they are:
First-His handling Of the police stu
alton lie has minimized graft in the fo-
Zee Department and stopped clubbing OF
citizens He has injected his attitude on
the right Of the individual to his own
rerson without interference by the police
into the rank and file Of the force.
Second-liis overhauling OF the Board OF
water supply minimizing waste and eK-
Third-fiis adjustment Of the tolls on
bridges and declaring all 10 be public
thOrOug hfarcs.
Fourth Eaualzng assessments through
Tifth-IIis rigid enforcement Of the ten
cment house laws
sixth-Hls strict enforcement Of the
civil service laws
Seyenth-His abolishing Of tho old Aque-
duct Board which was nothing hut a
waste Of some 5000 Of taxpayers
money annually.
Eighth-lis policy OF cutting expenses
which is 10 be- found IN reducing IN" run
ming expenses Of The city Record one
half. IL 1
Ninth-His attitude on III" vice and
gambling questions, In keeping policemen
out of houses so long as 40 outward sem
hlances Of disorder prevailed.
Tenth-Ilis attitude with regard 10 ga
looms. taking the matter OF excise on, OF
the hands OF the police. save Wnetc the)
observed violation from the OUTSIDE.
Mr.. Iustgarten said he believed that
the question Of gambling and dsorderly
houses should be taken odt of the
hands Of the police entirely and put in
the hands OF commission.
III this were done" he said. police
graft would be reduced to it's lowest
level. And IL IL were done We would
have the same esprit du corps that OBJ
talns i'm the Fire Department. The fire.
man is not thrown into the same temp
tations that policeman is, and the
policeman would he equally free Of
temptation if'vicc and gambling we're In
the hands Of "A commission. similar to
our Excise Department
Mr.. Lustgarten declined 10 say when
the next meeting OF the Citizens Com
mittee would be held. but minated
that IL would be soon.
Politicians have been expecting for
some time an organization such as the
Citizens Committee would loom up.
Many have openly discussed the
Mayors activities as a public speaker
as meaning but one thing: that he in
tended 10 run next fall. In all his
speeches they say he has defended his
administration.
