Tonight the opening guns Of the big
charter fight will be fired at the meet

eIt had been hoped by the OpPosi-

the general discussion migat precede
the reading OF: the report OF the COM
mittee of Is, but it. is probable that
this cannot be the order Of business.
AT the last meeting OF the conven-
ton a resolution vas passed stating
that the report OF the committee
should be prepared and heard not later
than the thirtieth day of the. ,conHen-
TONS session, which is today, and
therefore the report, according to pre-
Yious decision. must be read tonight.
Action upon the reRoft need not
be taken, however said NJ. G. Pa

this morning, land If the convention
desires, the report will remain undiE-
.cussed until the speakers who are.
anxious 10 express their views have
been heard. either at a public meet

Fifth Avenue. Manhattan, has not
an iota on Manhattan Avenue, Green

That is the candid opinion of Patrol
man Richard Seward, who has gray
hair and wears four stripes on his
sleeve. symbolic Of his twenty-one
wears of service on New Yorks police
force. .
Twenty Of those years were spent
in Greenpoint. where Seward was at
tached TO the 16lst Precinct. HIS
beat led him along Manhattan Avenue,
at Greenpoint's great white way, and
past McCarren Park, where nature, IN
the Brooklyn manner OF speaking, stu
reigns.
Two weeks ago Seward was trans
ferrcd to the East Fifty-hrst Street
station. His beat lay on Fifth Avenue
between Forty-seventh and Fifty-sec-
ond Streets On the day Of the bomb
incident in ST. Pstrick's Cathedral the
veteran was approached by many per
sons who wanted to know where the
cathedral was.
Seward admitted frar ky that he
didn't know. Other persons wanted TO
be directed 20 the big department
stores. and Seward, chockful Of Brook
Ign topography, but unve:aed in the
knowledge of Manhattan's high lights,
again admitted his ignorance.
And Seward doesn't want to know
anything about Fifth Avenues clubs
and cathedrals and department stores.
lie is contented with Greenpoint and
Manhattan Avenue and McCarren
Park. Each day since he embarked on
his new beat has been spent in COM

lin, Of 40 Broadway, refused 10 throw
any light on the whereabouts OF his
client last night. At Sulliyan's home
in Flatbush no one could be found who
would talk about his case.
When Sullivan was parOled il was
reported that he was in poor health.
and on his rearrest and release on bail
on another indictment in Brooklyn he
appeared but the shadow Of his former
self. On bis release Sullivan eagerly
announced that he wanted 70 help the
stockholders of the failed bank recover
some Of their deposits. About week
ago he made the offer Of assistance
to Joseph c. Deane, counsel for the
bank, whose affairs are being liguidat-
ed by d. W. Quinn, jr., special Deputy
Superintendent Of Banks.
Neither Mr.. Deane nor Mr.. Quinn
has expressed much hope in the abl-
ity of Sullivan to be of any assistance
in strengthening out the banks affairs,
but they signified their willingness 70
ACCEPT what aid he might bring to
them.
Sulliyan's friends say he can be Of
great assistance, especially in making
collections on accounts receivable. II
was along this line that Sullivan was
applying himself when he disappeared

BUSY Saloon Men Resume
Sabbath Trade Uninter-

DROUTH DUE TO
PLEA FOR CONCESSION
Brewers Working for Favorably
Amended LaW-Cheered by
Mayors Local Option Plan.

After two Sunday mornings spent
more or less in the cesert New York
found an oasis yesterday.
The saloons we're in full swing once
more and the DRY" spell which had the
city guessing for the last fortnight WAS
brought to q moist and unexpected end.
On two previous Sundays the wet
goods" shops had been tightly closed
rom Saturday midnight until l p. M.

.c-t They had had p conference with
-to legislators at Albany Ola tic ad-
,-,abliit, of amending the excise law
20 permit saloons 90 hc open after
%. m. on Sundays.
But the legislators declared chat the
amended law wouldn't be obeyed any
way. The brewers then offered 70 prove
:. They sent requests TO some saloons
and orders to others. upon which they
had mortgages, to keep the chain on
.he back door. For two Sundays this
order Of things was maintained.
Yesterday the reversion took place
and Sunday morning was as wet as
ever. Moreover. the police became
active once more. Fourteen SQUADS OF
our mon each drawn from the outly-
NC districts. were sent out from Head
quarters 10 investigate complaints.
These squads did not look for viola
IONS Of the excise law. They devoted
themselves solely TO recommending IN
he neighborhood Of those saloons
about which residents of the district
had complained 10 the Police Commits
,ioner Other places were neither Wis
tied nor disturbed.
The opinion among Saloonkeepers
YESTERDAY was that the resumption OF
SUNDAY morning "wctness" meant that
tine test had been completed. None OF
he Excise Department inspectors or
Tho clerks. collectors and drivers en-
rloycd by the brewers. who were omnl-
present on tho two previous Sundays,
we're seen.
A. a consequence, most OF the liquor
vcudc~s expect to hear within the next

whether the Excise Department ana
.ho legislature have become satisfied

arc given reasonable time on Sundays
