HONEST DAN C0STICAN
WINS LONG FIGHT
Court Orders Him Advanced on
Civil Service Captaincy List.

Justice Mullan, in the Bronx Su-
preme Court, yesterday, ordered the
Municipal Civil Service Commission to
add three points TO the rating Of Lieu
tenant Honest Dan" Costigsn. who
is on the eligible list for captain, as
credit for an honorable mention"
awarded in 1905.
Through this order, Costigan moves
up from No. % to No. IL on the list,
which greatly increases his chances OF
promotion. Commissioner Woods has
made it plain that he would welcome
an opportunity to advance the lieu.
tenant, as public expression OF
appreciation Of his work.
When Costigan took the examina-
tion for promotion, the civil service
examiners refused to credit the
honorable mention" he had received
for cleaning up Chinatown. Costigan,
when he fled suit for re-rating,
charged that the commission had
credited similar awards to other lieu
tenants, several Of whom are now cap
tains. The contention Of the ex-
aminers was that the other awards
were for performance Of duty at the
risk of the performers lives, while
Costigan's was only for meritorious
performance of police duty.

BLAKELOCK SOON
TO QUIT ASYLUM
Studio Prepared for Artist
at Private SanatOrium
in New Jersey.

Preparations for the removal OF
Ralph Albert Blackjack, the artist, who
has been an inmate of the Middletown
State Hospital for the Insane for six
teen years, are almost completed, and
he will be taken to Lynwood Lodge,
New Jersey, early next week.
Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Adams, who was
largely instrumental in incorporating
the Blakelock fun, last May, stated
yesterday that he had gained sixteen
pounds in weight since it was an
nounced that he would be removed, and
that he is making preparations TO paint
the picture expected of him as a men,
Der Of the National Academy of De-
sign. Mr.. Blakelock was elected to
membership in the time he has been at
Middletown.
Although the artist will be under
the same general restrictions as other
inmates of the private sanatorium of
DR.. Andrew l.. Nelden, he is TO have
the use Of a bungalow on the Nelden
grounds. Full preparations have been
made here for a studio, the interior
decoration being done under the super
vision of Miss Elsie De Wolfe.
Mrs. Adams said yesterday that the
fund was created for the care of
Blakelock and members of his family
who may need it. Mrs. Blakelock will
have house at Catskill, where a son
and married daughter live, and the
youngest son will accompany her, in
order to attend school there. 1t is
thought by the directors Of the fund
that after sixteen years the sudden
change from the Middleton institu-
tion to home with his family would
be too great test for Blakelock's re-
turning faculties.
Officers of the Blakelock fund say
that they have had great difficulties to
overcome through art dealers and
painters who have spread broadcast
works purporting to be genuine Blake
locks, which could not possibly be his.
Investigation is under way to deter
mine the sources of the counterfeits.
Blakelock is most famous for his
moonlight pictures. Although many Of
tis works sold for small prices at
the time they were made, they are now
extremely valuable.

PHILIPPINE BILL
HALTED In SENATE
Lack of Votes to Defeat
Prohibition Amendment
Causes Delay.
From The Tribune Bureau J

Washington, Aug. 15.-Lack of votes
to beat a prohibition amendment pre-
vented the passage of the Philippines
conference report by the Senate to-
day. The measure was called up by
Senator Hitchcock, when it developed
on a quorum call that the Prohibition
lists had a majority. Then Mr.. Hitch
cock asked that the bill be brought up
again tomorrow morning.
Administration leaders expect to have
a majority on hand tomorrow to vote
down a motion made to-day by Senator
Gronna, OF North Dakota which will
send the bill back 70 conference with
instructions to reinsert the prohibition
amendment.
Mr.. Gronna declared that the rep
resentatives of the Philippines in Con-
press had assured him they had no
opposition to his amendment, when
was inserted last winter, when the Dill
was first considered, but eliminated
when the House substituted the entire
Jones bill for that passed by the Sen
ate. When the conferrees went over
the bill they inserted many features
of the original Senate bill, but not the
prohibition amendment.
Senator'S Hitchcock and Lippitt both
assured Mr.. Gronna they could not pass
the bill with the prohibition amend
ment.
Senator Vardaman, in brief attack
on the bill. declared that il would give
no real measure of self-government to
the Filipinos He called the bill a
"plaything." Mr.. Vardaman supported
the Clarke amendment, which would
have given the islands their indepen-
dence in from two to tlve years, IN tne
discretion of the President. He indi-
Gated that he had no interest in the
present measure whatsoever. AS now
drawn, the bill promises the islanders
their independence when they have es-
tablished stable government

FIRST MILK INQUIRY
HEARING AUGUST Is
legislative Committee Will Prob
ably Investigate Price Boost.

by lclesraph 70 A"o ii'N"'eI
Albany, Aug. 15.-The first of series
Of hearings in New York City by the
Wicks legislative committee investigat-
ing dairy, poultry and livestock condi-
tons in this state will be held on Au-
gust 25. Senator Charles Wicks, chair
man of the committee, said to-day that
subpnnas will be served within the
next few days on several OF the big
milk gathering concerns calling for
their books and accounts.
The members of the committee are
interested in the report that retail
dealers in New York City have raised
the price of milk in pint bottles one
cent and this matter will probably De
taken up at the New York hearings;
Members of the committee expressed
The opinion that, even if glass contain
ers were costing more, there was no
reason why the consumer should be
allied upon to pay it. Members of the
committee believe that milk dealers
should have some means Of protecting
themselves from loss and breakage of
hotties other than putting It up to the
customer.

Summer COlOnists Start
Subscriptions for Trib-
une Camps.
AUBURN RESIDENTS
ALSO CONTRIBUTE
Children Barred from Va
cations in Cayuga County
Friends Help.

Friends of the children have not
forgotten them. The long list of con-
tributions to The Tribune Fresh Air
Fund, given below proves that. Day
by day old friends OF the fund are
sending gifts to provide vacations for
boys and girls Of the tenements, and
day by day new friends are joining
them.
One of the old friends whose gift
is acknowledged to-day is the village
of Quogue, l.. l. Every season for
years a group of kind hearted women
who summer there have constituted
themselves a committee to see that
the village does its part. Each year
public subscription taken by them
results in generous gift to the
fund.
Another gift is community affair
too. The Cayuga County Fresh Ar
Committee is composed mainly of resi-
dents of Auburn, n. Y. Usually it
does its part by finding hospitable
homes in the country near Auburn
where children will be received for
vacations. This year the Auburn
health board forbade the bringing of
any New York children into the
neighborhood. The committee, there.
fore, determined to do what it could
TO help send children to places where
they could be received. Their gift IS
merely the first instalment of the
Cayuga County contribution.
Contributions to Fresh Air Fund.
