ANT|.GUN Law FAILS.
Trial IN New York Shows 0rdi'

Sias Had No Effect on the Criminal
Element, While Law-AbfdIno cltI.

o. Protecting Themselves.

New York.-One year has passed
since the Sullivan law" aimed to
prevent the carrying Of concealed
weapons, became 4 law, and, ~ wa
predicted . year ago. the law proved
an utter failure. Crooks and other
criminals continued to carry con.
csaled arms in spite Of the Law. which
fell heavily only upon . number OF
law-abiding citizens who were the POP
SCISSORS Of arms for protection and
neglected to get rid Of them befofs
he law became effective.
In other words, the law merely had
the effect Of deriving the law-abidins
citizens Of their means Of protection.
while the criminals. against whom
they tried 10 protect themselves, were
left in possession Of their weapons.
j According to the annual report OF
the coroner. Just issued. there were
1os homicides BY shooting during the
last twelve months in Manhattan, only
two less than in 1910, when the high
water mark IN the number Of homi
cides by shooting was reached. In
eighteen Of these cases the circum.
stances did not call for IN arrest,
while in eishty.eisht cases arrests
were clearly in order. Az . matter
Of fact, however, arrests were made
only in thirty.seven Of the cases. leav.
ing ffty-one cases In which no AZ.
rests were made.
Under the Sullivan law It 10 illegal
for any dealer to sell pistol or other
dangerous weapon prescribed by the
law to any person not In possession Of
q license for owning and carrying
such weapons. In spite Of this fact
It 10 estimated that during the last
twelve months more than 5000 revolv'
ers were sold by dealers and pawn.

law.
/, John Schrank. the man who shot
Colonel Roosevelt, admitted after HE
arrest that he had bought the revolver
from which the shot was fired in Q
shop on Broadway. near Canal street,
In this city. Another significant fea
ture IL that gang fights in which pis
tolls were used were more frequent
during the last twelve months than
ever before. This clearly shows that
the lawless element paid no attention
to the law and evaded the enforce

gems suffered, Just as had been pre-
dicted.

Bradley to Make the Race Again.

1t is stated on what appears to
be good authority that Senator w.
o. Bradley has determined to
again enter the race for United
States Senator before the primary
next August, and that he will soon
begin an active campaign to secure
the Republican nomination.
Senator Bradley, according to
the advices received, believes that
he will have little trouble in capt
uriDg the nomination, and he is
determined to go the limit in his
campaign and to stump every part
of the State.
1t is said that should he receive
the nomination he will make the
most vigorous fight of his career to
land the prize next November,
and as the next Senator is to be
elected by popular vote" he be-
lieves he will stand good chance.
If this be done, It is believed the
Progressives and the anti-Bradley
Republicans will put up a candi-
date. and in November there will
be three candidates before the
people for the Senate.
