Point TO Power Veto.


The Governors enemies have been
openly charging him with using his
power Of vetoing and approving bills
during the thirty-day period following
tae end Of the regular session in order
to force legislators to vote for his di-
rect primary bill. Jne Of the measures
vetoed By the Governor was the hydro
electric bill, opposed by the electric
lighting corporations. Of which Samuel
Besrdsley. Democratic leader in Oneida
County, is said 10 he the representa-
tive Since that time the Tammany
men have charged that Governor Sui
ler disapproved the hydro-elecric bill
IN exchange for the promise Of the
support Of the Oneida County legisla-
tors controlled by Beardsley at the
extra session.
Senator Pec,;hsm. Of oneida County
has already announced that he will
vote for the Governors bill because
Of the sentiment in his district.

that his reasons for continuing

was not a witness, and when his son

Curran's Proof Conclusive.

The. letter the Tammany alderman
wrote in Rubln's Office and which was
made the basis Of MIR Rubin's recon-

indictment be dismissed, reads:
New York. May 13. 1913.

might have been laboring under mis-
take. and the more | think about II
the more / am convinced that he lid

man Foye he said that some one ap-
proached him. whom he understood 90
be Alderman Curran, and told him that
he was the alderman Of the district
and that he would like him 10 be very
careful and not 10 20 too hard on

From staH Correspondent Of The Trbune.l
Albany, June 24.-After a debate of
six hourc. in which the members

ne Assembly this afternoon carried out
tbe prearranged Tammany programme

aroused the legislators from their hot
weather lethargy was when some over

make a heated denunciation of Gov

Tip" in Anonymous Letter.

The indictment came within a month
Of Foye's testimony before the Curran
committee. Soon after Mr.. Curran re-
ceived a letter from an anonymous
source telling him it would be well 10
inform the District Attorney that
Alderman McCourt. a Tammany mem
Der of the board. who closely resembles
the chairman Of the Curr"n committee
in personal appearance, was the man
who approached oye.
Both men frequently have been vic
tins Of mistakes by friends Of one or
the other, il is said. \ few DAYS ago
the private secretary Of Mr.. Curran
mistook the Tammany alderman for
Mr. Curran.
Alderman McCourt was taken before
Assistant District Attorney Rubin, who
rad been instructed 10 look into the
truth Of the statement made in the
letter received by MIR. Curran. Nc
Court admitted he and not Curran had
spoken 10 Foye.

Regarding the suitability or LOCATION
Captain Van Duzer finds that the posiuon
of New York Is superior TO all ports on
the coast as regards depth OF water ana
ordinary ease of entrance and exit, with
the single exception of Narragansett Bay
1t is the only port on our whole coast
which has two entrances separated by
hundred miles. II is nearly in the indus
trial centre OF the coast. 1t is somewhat
further from Europe than Narragansett
Bay. but the difference is so small as to
be immaterial, while il is a little nearer
to the Panama Canal.
at is easy OF defence against sea at
tack as compared with Narragansett
Bay" he adds; furthermore, New YORK
is always likely to be incomparably the
best defended port on the coast. its great
interests and the character OF its entrance
both contributing TO this end a navy
yard located below Communipaw is a
mile or two further away from possible
sea attack than the present yard, and II
Is far more secure against landing
force than any location on Long Island
or almost any other practicable location
In New York Harbor or elsewhere. AS
against a naval raid its security is prac-
tically absolute. while any conceivable
location in Narragansett Bay is peculiar
ly open to this form of attack"

A THlEF'S DEVISiNG.

Il am the executor of an estate of an
engineer. He specialized in his field and
had books. which perhaps you would not
be able to get readily, but which you
would like to have If you could get them
at a reasonable price. We wish TO close
I'D the affairs of the estate promptly and
will sell at a price which will make it
worth your while to place some OF them
on your shelves. If you will name some
books you want | will look through the
library and see if they are in it.
A book was mentioned, and in due time
it was delivered. The engineer in the
Brooklyn office had a sister In one of the
libraries and was familiar with library
books Despite the fact that the title
page, with its identification marks and
all the other numerous evidences that the
volume was from a public library, had
been eliminated or disguised as thorough
" as possible, the engineer recognized II
Immediately as a library book.
Come back this afternoon and the
money will be here" said the engineer.
Then he telephoned to the library and
when the man returned he was arrested
and charged in the police court with
grand larceny. He was held In 5000 bail
but skipped" and has not been seen
since.

has been marked for identification II Is

Captain Van Duzer estimates the cost
of new yard at Greenvlle would be
s26,52l,cO. AS against this he says.
IF the present yard were sold. the re-
ceipts from its sale would go a long way
toward paying for the new yard. II may
be mentioned that the proposed yard is
not only four times greater than the
present one as regards berthing capacity
and capacity for work, but that II is two
or three times as great in shop capacity
and storage space. The dock capacity for
yea large ships is also four times that
of the yard at Brooklyn, but even that IS
not enough to take care of the whole
fleet, and two additional similar docks
should be added If the proposed yard is
to attain its true end"
Congressman John j. Fitzgerald, or
Brooklyn. who, II may be significantly
observed. is chairman of the Committee
on Appropriations of the House of Rep
resentatives, is violently opposed to the
proposed removal of the navy yard from
Brooklyn. Humorously. he tragically de-
clares IF they take the navy yard away
from Brooklyn they will have to do so
over my dead body" Seriously. he says:
Periodically the abandonment of the
Brooklyn navy yard is agitated. Occa-
sionally some one competent to express
an opinion engages in this discussion.
but most frequently the advocates of the
abandonment scheme have some selfish
interest to serve.
ut is somewhat curious that the plan
to abandon the Brooklyn yard has been
most strenuously urged since 1t has been
demonstrated that this yard alone, OF all
the navy yards, is capable Of competing

Some time afterward the same man APP
peared with another copy OF the same
work bound in scarlet morocco with gilt
edges and told hard luck story.
This time the game was suspicious.
He looked on page 81 and found the num-
Der 1901 written in. but not in the or
binary library hand. He examined the
copy first bought and detected erasures.
The page number on which the "acces-
sion number appeared indicated that the
book came either from New York or
a Brooklyn library.
