Brooklyn Bridge.
The action taken yesterday Was In lire
with a plan being worked out BY Commits
sloner Ward for better control and dis
tribution OF department concessions. A

stands be permitted IN City Hall Park.
Some OF the stands were relocated near
the subway kiosks and the bootblack
stands under the elevated approach 10 the

that most Of their customers will be lost
because they ascend the stairs OF the ap.
proach before reaching the new locations.
The standkeepers. most OF whom are
women. declared they were going TO sell
pa ers In their arms At the old locations
tonight In spite OF the order.

MAYFLOWER AFFAIR

Of December when the scandal was
finally ventilated.
Douglas was on duty as officer OF the
deck on the MaytloWer. His tour OF
duty was either from s 70 Il or i
to 4 on the night in question. Little
came on board and brought two women
with him. The party went below
Dinner. it is said, was served, and there
was plenty Of liquid refreshments. An
enlisted man went at TO the quarter
deck and reported to Douglas that
Little and two women were on poaru'
Douglas should have ordered the Wom-
en- ashore and reported the entire oc-
currencc the next day to his command
ing officer. He did neither, but, after
he had been relieved, he went belo"
and joined the party, which dld not
break up until morning
This time the scandal could not be
suppressed. Five enlisted men OF the
NIavAower. one after the other, re-
ported Little. Secretary Daniels was
Mortified. lie sent for several OF the
ranking officers in the navy and sought
their advice.
Because OF the social prominence OF
the two men and because the Presl-
dents yacht had been used for the es-
capade the Secretary understood that a
scandal involving them would be eN-
tremclv distasteful TO the President as
well as to prominent Washington
people.
Tho President having been informed
il was said told his Secretary that 1t
was most desirable for many reasons
TO keep the affair quiet, but that discl-
pline must be maintained, even II IN
maintaining it the scandal became
public. Little and Douglas were sent
for. The latter, it is said, frankly ad-
mittcd his failure TO perform his duty
in not reporting Little. Later both' II
is said, were sent for by the President.
