SEES LIvERYMEN IN PERIL.
HulberE says. Change In Hack Law
Means RuinOus Blow.

Henry Hulberg OF 231 st. Nicholas ave-
nue.. speaking for the livery stable men Of
the city. said last night that every horse
drawn carriage will be driven out OF the
parks and the general livery and under
taking business In New York ruined ut
terly II the amendment TO the public hack
ordinance is adopted tomorrow by the
Board OF Aldermen.
Mr. Hulberg, who has been in business
forty years. says that the ordinance would
cause the livery men loss or $4,000, 900
at least and would mean the practical
wiping out OF a business that has existed
since the days when New York was a
British colony
I'm defining a public hack as vehicle
that uses the streets and highways ana
public places OF the city," said Mr.. HUI
berg the last sentence reads: 1t makes
no difference whether such hack Is
hired on the public streets or In IA livery
stable or over the telephone
That means IL the livery stable keeper
has been furnishing modest. inconspic-
uous pleasure team to a family for twenty
years he must now deface the carriag &c
with big sign and pin on the drivers
coat lapel a badge about the size OF a
saucer so that there can be no mistake
that It is a hired hack and hired driver
How many individuals or families, dc
you think. would continue as customers
II this amendment II adopted? l am safe
in saying not one
why should a private livery stable be
compelled to blason it's business with a
customer who disiiked being made con,
spicuous, II that stable did not have its
horses and carriages on the public streets
soliciting businessY On what other pat
ronage except private calls can the pri-
vate livery depend for existence? What
public end will he served and where will
the general public be benefited?

Prof Sulli said, IN order to catch train
for Stamford which left the Grand
Central shortly after 2 o'clock. lie did not
remember ever having seen her accom-
panied to the Temple. Prof. Sull knew her
very well and he was emphatic in declar-
ing that such n fine honest woman
could not have had anything to do with
the unfortunate occurrence near her
apa rtment
Mrs. Angle and Mr.. Bailou" said Prof.
Sulli, were very fond Of each other She
used to look on him as one would upon n
father. He wanted her to marry him, hut
she always said that people would think
she married him for his money"

In the next room window had been
raised from the bottom. While they were
examining It they heard steps behind
them. and turned TO look into the muzzle
OF a revolver in Wallis hand.
He fired twice. but missed. and then as
Collins sprang for him fired again. The
bullet struck the keeper in the left side
below the heart and he dropped to the
floor. Carroll then sprang upon the
crazed convict and wrenched the revolver
from him as other keepers came running
to his assistance.
