enter the coastwise trade.
"The association fears that unless
congress uses the proper deliberation

struck. For instance, the legislative
body of the nation must be careful in
revising any marine legislation to see
that no error occurs by which these
foreign vessels are allowed in tbs

S1OCKEXCHANGECLOSED
INDEFINITELY NOW
HEAVY SHIPMENTS OF GOLD CON-
TINuE FROM NEW YORK
TO EUROPE

New York, Aug. With the stock
and commodity markets still closed
the financial district marked time to-
day. while word was awaited on the
decision of the powers for peace or
war. To outward appearances Wall
street was almost as busily engaged
as under normal conditions.
At the offices Of ]. P. Morgan and
Company. Representatives Of some II
1tifs largest financial institutions IN
New York, and philadelphia met To-
day. The meeting was behind closed
doors and no information was obtain
able as to what took place, beyond
the fact that the present troubled slt-
nation was discussed with view 10
taking whatever precautionary steps
might suggest themselves. 1t is un-
derstood that no definite time for the
reopening of exchanges was agreed on.
A meeting of the newly-formed as
sociation of partners of stock ex-
change firms was held and a state
ment was made urging all exchange
members not to engage in outside deal
ings in securities.
Although the time of the reopenlne
of the exchange rests entirely aln the
hands of the board Of governors, II
was everywhere assumed that trading
would not be resumed for some time
tt was felt that it would be unwis'
, to reopen the market until the LondoI
; hoard. at least, should take up bust
ness again. otherwise, New Yorl
would again be placed in the position
| of bearing the financial burdens 0
the world.
Further engagements of gold wer
announced today. London took $500
900 and Canada $S,S50,O0O.
The extent to which the gold e.
, port movement would continue wa
j one of the most important question
of the financial district at this jun
v ture.
Gold shipments to Europe are no
so expensive and hazardous that

FIVE POLICE BILLS
REPORTED AS One
Assembly Committed Broad
ems Right of Accused
Men to Rehearing.
rBy Telegraph to The Tribune J

Albany, March II (Tuesday). BY a
vote Of 5 to . the Assembly Cities Com
mittee early this morning reported the
Mitchell police bills in the form Of one
bill. The consolidated measure does
not change materially the five bills as
originally introduced. BY way of eX-
planation Assemblyman Hoff, chair
man Of the Cities Committee and in
troducer Of the legislation, said;
This bill provides that sergeants
may be eligible for promotion to lieu
tenants after six months service in
stead Of two years and that lieuten-
ants may be eligible for promotion to
captains in one year instead of three,
Dismissed or resigned members will
be entitled 10 a refund Of the moneys
contributed TO the pension fund, with
{ per cent interest. The present char
ter gives no such privilege.
The present charter provisions
granting a fun trial before the Com
missioner are carefully preserved. The
right Of redress in the courts is elm
mated. Now d dismissed police Off
Ger may make an application to the
Mayor for a rehearing before the Com
missioner unless he was dismissed for
insubordination, conduct unbecoming
an officer, cowardice or intoxication.
This bill broadens the right TO a
rehearing by permitting in all cases
an application for rehearinS 10 be
made TO a board Of police review ere
ated by the proposed act and TO he
composed Of a citizen, resident and
voter of the city, member of the
uniformed police force Of at least
equal rank to the officer against whom
the charge is made, and a member
Of the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment, other than the Mayor, and
all TO he appointed by the Board OF
Estimate and Apportionment
Meetings of the board are to be pub
lie. a record is 10 be made Of its pro-
ceedings and the members are to serve
without compensation. The board is to
examine the application, hear all wit
nesses desired by the accused officer
as well as such other witnesses as in
it's judgment may be necessary, take
such testimony as it may deem adVis-
able and report to the Mayor whether
or not a rehearing should be given.
The Mayor may then consent TO such
rehearing, i'm which case the Police
Commissioner must rehear the charge
and may affirm, revoke or modify his
former decision. Upon such retrial the
decision Of the Police Commissioner IS
final and not subject 10 review by any
court.
The publicity which will attend all
proceedings Of the board OF police re-
view will prevent any injustice to an
accused police officer, and the recon-
mandatory powers of the board Will
have great weight with the Mayor
who, under the present system. with
his manifold duties. has not the time
TO examine these applications with
the care and attention they demand IN
Justice TO the applicant"

ing the bill were McCue. Of New YORK,
and Blakely, of Yonkers. Lockwood,
of Brooklyn, the eleventh member
present, was not recorded. as he want
