PAY NO ATTENTION
TO COURT DECISION
Mayor Gaynor Makes Cafes Close
Doors at One O'clock in Spite
of the Law.

IUnited Press Leased Wire Service.l
NEW YORK, April 1o.-Those res
taurant proprietors who fondly hoped
that the decision of the court of spe-
cial sessions in the / O'Clock closing
order would cause Mayor Gaynor to
be more liberal in his police instruc-
lions, were doomed to disappointment
when the fatal hour arrived early to-
day.
The police were on hand as usual
to drive every patron into the streets
promptly at o'clock in spite of the
special sessions decision that so long
as liquor is not sold after /, a patron
can remain and eat, or sing, or dance
as long as he desires.
The word went around that the
mayor did not consider the special
sessions courts decision of enough
weight to make him rescind his order
and Broadway was again plunged in
gloom.

TARIFF ON PEARL BUTTONS.

It is proposed in the Underwood
tariff bill now pending in congress TO
make material reduction In the tariff
on pearl buttons. If this proposal is
enacted into law the inevitable effect
will be the destruction of the pearl
button industry in the United States.
There were no pearl buttons made
in the United States prior to the pass
age OF the Mckinley bill which was
passed in 1892 or 90. Previous to the
enactment of the Mckinley law there
was imported into this country about
IS 100000 annually The Mckinley
law gave the necessary protection to
the pearl button industry and the bust
ness OF manufacturing such buttons
present tariff gives manufacturers Of
! pearl buttons ! Il cent per line specific
/ duty and 25 percent ad yalorem duty.
4 The proposed law gives them 40 per
cent ad valorem and no specific duty.
I They feel that they should have at
about % percent ad valorem. Unless
better protection Is afforded them
than is provided In the Underwood
bill the industry in this country will
be destroyed The manufacturers will
be compelled to move to Europe, to
the great detriment OF the United
i States
Muscatine is the chief center of the
pearl button industry in this country,
and the people there are greatly
wrought up over the danger that
y menaces 1t. One day last week they

large as to tax the capacity of the

Two plans OF action were suggested
one being that resolution be present

that a delegation be sent 10 the ma
