Albany, N. Y, Oct 2S.-Attorney-
General Carmody replied to critics of
the state in its course against Harry
X. Thaw in the attempt to return him
to New York with a statement in
which he declared that he would not
allow the lavish use of great wealth
to break down the barriers of justice
and defeat the law.
The attorney-g general declared that
his course so far in the case had been
successful and that he would carry
the affair through with the one idea
of vindicating and sustaining the
Judgment of the state courts.
Much confusion exists in the pub
lie mind" said Carmody, "in regard
to the present phase of the Thaw
case. The state is criticised for hav-

courts to be insane and confined in

New York Harbor is the one of $50 feet

factories warehouses and piers. Between
the New York Dock Company's property
and the Bush Terminal section is not
such a long stretch. and therefore the
necessary link to make an all-rail route

not be long And the link from DIST street

one of the principal features OF the

Immediately west of the main build

On this lot he is having erected a
structure which will be used as the
south Clifton fire station, this sta

some time. Also a part of the
structure will be used as a garage
for the automobiles owned by Mr..

which will be used as cooperage in

On the lot adjoining the bottling
works on the north, Mr.. Schade is
also making changes, having planned
to devote all the space of this prop

Workmen are now moving the ma

the benefits of public school instruc-

being attributed to the large Mexican
