MC GARRY CHOSEN AS LEADER He Succeeds His Father as Potentate of Ward Ten. ELECTED BF GENERAL COMMITTEE DELEGATES Narrow illinded Peoplo May Think It a Little Inflation for the Tonnj Knn, but Assemblyman flcnnos'iy Say: "He Is the Personality of tha That Gone, bat Thnt Livox ns Lone; ns We Hare Life nnd Can Think." Alderman John J. MeGnrry, the elder of the song of the late James MeGnrry, was lent night elected to the post of leadership occupied by his father for so many years. Twonty threo of the Iwenty seven delegates to the general committee from the bailiwick met in the rooms of the Young lion's Democratic club, Nevins street, noar Bergen, with a view to canvassing the claims of candidates and taking final notion in the matter of leadership. On motion of George Gn, the delegates resolved themsolve0 into a permanent organization nnd Assemblyman John J.

Hennessy was elected chairman. Mr. Gru, for his active participation in the preliminaries, was made secretary. Dr. Charles Dennln was the first speakor.

Ke put the name of John J. AIcGarry in nomination, saying among other things: "It is plain to me that we ought to have someone for leader. I am a new hand at politics, but I have looked the field over carefully, and the man whom I wonld select, not from a political but a business view point, is the alderman from this ward. I have a different opinion of Mr. MeGnrry since I mode his acquaintance.

Ho is a man entirely to be depended upon for the transaction of the affairs of tho Democratic party, so far as this ward ie concerned." MileB F. McDonald, who followed Mr. Den nin, said: "It makes it bad with regard to the little patronage we get not to have a loader. There is now nobody to get it; nobody to look for it. If somebody would look, the thing would be more thorough and systematic" Frank C.

Marrin's language at first presaged the immediate vicinity of a bombshell, but opinion was mistaken, for it was nothing more than a harmless little torpedo. Mr. Marrln said: "The only question in my mind with reference to this matter is not tho leadership, but the extent of such leadership. If it means a permanent czar or boss I'm opposed to it. If it means somebody to transact the affaire of the ward as a matter of convenience for the delegates, then I favor such leadership, but only to thnt extent.

If we oleet a leader here to night there ought to be some restriction as to his prerogatives. He should be directed by this hody, who will meet and discuss matters to get valuable suggestions out of such discussion. He should report book to this body. Wo are eleoted by tbo districts and we are responsible to the districts. At least I look at my election in that way.

Every man sent to the general committee is a leader in his district. The strongest man la presumed to be tho delegate and his advice ought to bo sought and acted upon by any man Who assumes the leadership. George Gru up and spoke thus: 'I have no doubt there ought to be a leader. No czar, 1 mean, but a person through whom twenty sovon delegates can look after Ihe affairs of the word. The delegates of tho districts ought to attend to the business of the districts, but the other work should go to the leader.

There Is no more fit man for the place than Mr. McGarry. I indorse his nomination and will vote for Mr, Dennin again got the floor and said ho agreed with Mr. Marrin that there was a neaKS sity for the lender to guide tho delegates. In the selection of Mr.

McGarry he did not mean that the former should be "supreme over all," out mm ibb aeisgates irom mo district should be consulted. Mr. McGarry, Mr. Dennin thought, was in a position to do more good for tho organization than any other man who might be named. It was wisdom, however, not to make a ruler of him, but to delegate to him certain powers by which he could carry out the suggestions of the delegates.

Mr. Marrin was on his feet once more to sflf "This iB serious subject. I have known Mr. McGarry since he was a boy nnd favor his selection, i favor it for tho reason he is a young man ond I have always voted for the furtherance of tho ambitions of young men. I think it only fair nnd honest the delegates Bhould, too, receive consideration.

It ought not to go to the preBS and people that we have given away on absolute power. We came from the people who gave us no such thing, and we ought to go baek to them as we came." Mr. H. A. Allen of the Fourth district asked for the call of the roll, but Mr.

Hennessy had a few remarks to make. He said that the nominating of a leader was to his mind the most practical thing that had been accomplished since the selection of delegates to the general committee. He believed in organization and leadership and believed that the leader very largely made himself. Mr. McGarry, he said, never desired th leadership; in fact, ne shrank from it; to a great extent it was foroed on him.

His loyalty to his father's friends, Mr. Hennessy thought, had induced him to consider the auestion of leadership, if he considered it at all. "There are many who are narrow minded," continued Mr. Hennessy, "who will be inclined to think this a little inflation for the young man. You need not envy him.

You should stand firmly behind him. Ha is tho personalily of tiiu spirit that is gone, but that lives as long as we have life and oan think." The roll was then callad and all of the twenty throe delegates responded with Mr. Mc Garry's name. They were: Second district, James Moore; Third, John A. Hennessy; Fourth, H.

A. Allen; Fifth, Jnmes F. Fogarty: Sixth, Michael McCarren; Seventh, John McLaren: Ninth, Miles F. McDonald; Tenth, Francis Devlin; Eleventh. Frank C.

Everything was quiet in the eastern distriot this morning, despite the strike of the journeymen tailors who work in tho sweut shops, which begun last night. The men wero all tnlking about the strike, and there wore not many attendants at the Bervioes in the synagogues Thecommittee was receiving reports constantly from its delegates, who wero engaged in visiting the different contractors. Joseph Solotorsky acted n3 sponesman when the Engle reporter was udmittsd to the room where about two dozen men wore sitting. Solotovsky said tho outlook was very encouraging and he had no doubt that the strike would be over before the middle of next week.

Ho said that about Ave hundred men had gone out on the first call and thut by to morrow there would he at least one thousand meu on strike In the city or the Brownsville tailors would undoubtedly vote to strike this evening when they will hold meeting. There aru about sixty shops In Dutohtown, and Solotovsky said that number of the contractors had signilled their willingness to accede to tho demuuds of the union in the matter of reducing tho working day to ten hours. A mass meeting of the striking tailors wns held this nfttjrnoen at 2 o'clock in Golden Rule hall, on tho corner of Seigol and Leonard streotu, at which spooches were made in the Jahudis dialect.

A Hot Encounter for the Championship of the Seventh Ward This Morning AMon by Tom Shields After Fifteen Hard Fought Rounds. Tom Shields and Pete Mace, both of the Seventh ward, fought to a finish, early this morning, for a purse of $250. The fight took place in the loft of a stable and while virtually under the eyes of the police not a blue coat Interrupted the match, which was a lively one. The championship of the Seventh ward was at stake. Shields is 24 years of age, is 3 feet 7 Inches in height and weighed in at 142 pounds.

Mace is 23 years of age, is 6 feet 8 inches in height and weighed in at 137 pounds. Shields was seconded by Tommy Stanton and Jim Flanagan. Mace was looked after by Gene Gibney and Jim Kelly. Pete Deway, the well known boniface of the Seventh ward, was referee. Cal McCarthy was timekeeper.

The fight lasted fifteen rounds and was fierce. Honors were even up to the seventh round, when Mace, rushing Shields, managed to put him almost out. Shields, however, managed to pull himBelf together and in the eighth round scored three clean knock downs. FirBt blood was gained by Shields in the ninth round. In the eleventh round Shields pulled off his gloves and said he would finish the rest of the fight with bare knuckles.

It was agreeable to Mace and the men went at It with bare fists. Soon both men were covered with blood. The twelfth round saw Mace almost used up, and had not time been called Shields would have had the fight. In the fourteenth round, however, Mace rallied, and hitting Shields on the corner of the mouth he brought forth blood in a stream. Twice did Macs knock Shields to the floor.

When the round closed the referee was trying to separate the men. In the fifteenth round Shields gave Mace a terrific right hander on the nose, almost flattening it. Mace retaliated on Shields' jaw and ShleldB dropped to his knees. He resumed his feet in a second, and feinting his left for Mace's chin he sent in his right. Mace went down and out.

Both men had trained hard and were In perfect condition. Shields was at one time Cal McCarthy's boxing partner when McCarthy had his show on the road. The fight was witnessed by about forty spectators. KILLED THE CASHIER. The Sheriff anil n.

laud When Thor Contributed. London, September 1 The Gladstone Tweed mouth contribution of 100 each, sent by Mr. Gladitono and Baron Tweed mouth to the Irish parliamentary fund, is causing a sensation in all politionl parties. Baron Tweedmouth, in forwarding his contribution, wrote to Mr. Justin McCarthy, chairman of the Irish parliamentary from Scotland, saying that ho had received a note from Mr.

Glad atone, inoiosing a cheek lor 100 to be forwarded to tho fund. The unionists nro making much of the fact that none of the money which is said to be pouring into the Irish coffers Is going to the eviotsd tenants. The Globe, this afternoon, commenting upon thoso contributions, says that a doublo purpose has been served by this subsidy, adding that it will keep the MeCarthyites in good temper ana that the ovinted tenants will become more exasperated than ever. The Globe also says: "If Mr, Giadatone and Baron Tweedmouth have taken this action without consulting the promier or Sir William Hnrcourt, it savors of springing a mine udou them." Dublin, September 1 The Evening Herald (Parnolllto), in addition to it statement, commenting on the donations of Mr. Gladstone and Baron Tweedmonth to the Irish parliamentary fund, that neither Keogh nor Sadllor sold thom solvos so oheaply, aays: "It is the prleo of troachory to Irelnnd, and divided among the Whig mombers it represents 1 8s 2d purchase money for each' of them."

A Caso Which the Veteran Relief Clerk of the Charities Department Describes ns Being Absolutely Without Precedent Some Cheap Advertising. Joseph Short, the veteran relief olerk of the department of charities and corrections, wi not in a particularly good humor this morning. A letter was received at the charities office a few days ago from the state oommissionar of common sohools at Columbus, inquiring for a 17 year old boy who had run away from homo and had been arrested in this oity for vagrancy. The department's aid was solicited in having the boy released from custody and returned to his home. Upon investigation Mr.

Short learned that the lad had been arrostad at Bath Beach as a vagrant where he wns found sleeping in a bathing house and committed by Justice of the Peace Cowenhoven for twenty nine days In tho penitentiary. wnen the boy was searched at the penitenti ary over 620 in cash was found on him and a membership ticket of the Columbus Young Men's Christian association. The fact of his arrest as a vagrant under these eiroumstanees was made to appaar as an outrage. Warden Hayes told an Eagle reporter, however, that If the boy w.as as "fresh" and impudent to Justiee Cowenhoven as he was at the penitentiary, he (the warden) could easily understand how he got twenty nine days.

The Non Sectarian Hospital and Home for Epileptics was opened to the public this morning for the flrBt tlmo," at 1,038 Greene avenue, near Broadway. The institution Is to provide a home with proper care and treatment for those who are afflicted with epilepsy. The charity, as the name suggests, 1b to be entirely non seotarian. It will supply what has long been needed in Brooklyn, as there has heretofore been no provision whatever made for this unfortunate class of people in thiB city.

Beside cash contributions for this purpose donations of furniture, household goods and groceries will be gratefully, received. The running expenses have to be met by contributions. Already a large amount of furniture and other household necessities have been subscribed, but there is need of much more to place the institution firmly on Its feet.

The formal opening will not take place until about the middle of the month. IT IS VIGILANTS EACE. Far Ahead of Satanita "When the Wind Went Down. They Started Off With the. American In the Lead Then the Cutter Forged Ahead The Vigilant Overtook Her and Got the Lead, and Then Both Wero Becalmed.

Dartmouth, England, September 1 To the great disappointment of yaohting men generally, when the sun rose to day thera was a thick haze over the waters of the bay and out to sea and the wind was light from the north with little prospects of freshening. Consequently a day's unsatisfactory racing, similar to that of yesterday, was anticipated. This was not calculated to cause any degree of enthusiasm anywhere, especially as the decision of the sailing committee of the Royal Dartmouth Yacht club yesterdny, in not awarding the prize to Vigilant because the race could not be finished within the time limit of eight hours, has oaused considerable dissatisfaction. It is admitted that tho sailing committee acted strictly according to the rules of the club, but in view of the fact that they decided the race for the 40 raters on tho first round, it is thought that they might have acted a little mora generously toward the American yacht. Both Vigilant and Satanita were entered today for the race arranged for yaohts over 40 rating.

The regatta was under the auspices of the Start Bay Yaoht oiub. The prize was 55 guineas, and the course was a triangular one as follows: Prom Dartmouth Range to a mark boat four miles to westward; thence to the eastward mark, a distance of five miles, and baok to the Range, another five mile leg, or a total distance of fourteen miles for once around the course; three times around this course to complete the race, the total distance being forty two miles. Owing to the lignt wind and haze, the preliminary maneuvers of the two yaohts were not as interesting as they generally are, the very light wind and smooth sea making it next to impossible to do any jockeying worth notice. Vigilant, however, got the best of the first struggles for position and at 10:30 A. when the starting gun was fired, the American yaoht had the windward position and the lead and crossed the line ahead of Satanita, The time at the start were: n.

Vigilant, from the start, drew gradually away and had put about a dozan lengths between herself and Satinita before a mile of the first reach had been com pleted. The wind, however, then began to get lighter, and the haze, like yesterday, became thicket. Befero the western mark was reaohed the two yaohts were almost obscured from view.

It was seen, though, thnt when they were about halt way out to the western mark, the two yachts had set their spinnakers and that the wind off shore had hauled aft. When Vigilant and Satinita rounded the western mark at the end of the first leg on the first round, they were completely obsoured from view ashore and, consequently, no accurate times could bo taken. At 11:30 A. a slight lift in the haze showed dimly the two racers beating up the eastern mark, with Vigilant holding a long lead, but on a dltrerent tacit irom batanua. Satanita was standing further in shore and beating along the land, appeared to be going faster than the Vigilant, though the latter was in the better position for making the eastern marn.

Having come about for the third time near land Satanita stood off straight for the east em mark and was soon afterward again lost sight of in the fog. Vigilant had previously disappeared in the same ghostly surroundings and the wind dropped to a mere land breeze. Satanita made a great gain, it was afterward seen, by standing inshore, and she got a fine land breeze when she vetually stood away for the eastern mark and was to windward of her competitor. Vigilant rounded the mark just a little ahead of Satanita and was holding her own, apparently, at the commencement of the broad reach for the home mark; but, nearing that point, Satanita pulled ahead and, at the end of tne first round, the Britain yacht had a lead of forty five seconds on the center boarder. The times of the two yachts, at the end of the first round, were as follows II.

The wind was then about northwest and it veered a trille eastern as they again disappeared in tho foggy haze on their way westward. Only a Blight air was stirring and both yachts wero soon completely enveloped in the bozo and, consequently, for some time afterward, nothing could be recorded of their movements from the shore.

Vigilant, later, again took the lead, nnd heating up to the eastward mark the American yacht was about three minutes ahead of the cutter. The wind was still light, the haze thick and there was no prospect of the rase bing finished for some hours. The time of rounding Torcross was: B. M. S.

Both boats held inshore on the beat to the east, the Vigilant increasing her load, bnt luter both ran into a calm on the eastwurd'tack, nnd there Is now a possibility of a repetition of yesterday's failure to make a race of It. Dartmouth, September 1 Satanita was towed in here at 5:22 P. having given up tho race.

It is presumed that Vigilant has also withdrawn, as both yachts have been becalmed for a loug time. When the Satanita gave up the race tho Vigilant was far ahead. Later The Vigilant won.

Ada, Winds Up Justice aynor's Midsummer Term of Work. TOE'S ORDER IN THE CROKE CiSE VOID. The Police Jostico Had No Jurisdiction, Therefore, to Punish the Owner for Not Having Obeyed the Void Order of Judgment The Ordinance on Whloh Tighc Acted Wns "One or Absurdities Hh'ch We Often Encounter." Vols morning Justice William J.

Gaynor of tbe supreme court closed hlB midsummer term of work on the bench. He 'will now take a vacation at his summer residence at Heliport. But before leaving he handed down an opinion in a case which has excitod much interest among dog owners, and even the police justices of the city will find a per usol of his honor's views, instruction, to say the least. The whole thing came about from the fact that a oollie dog owned by William Shand bit a boy while upon the public highway. The boy was Thomas Croke.

He made written complaint of the fact to Police Justice 'flghe. The latter, following a city ordinance, orderod Shand to kill the dog. But Shand rofused, saying that ho loved the dog almost as well as the other members of his family. Then Judge Tighe said he would be compelled to carry out the further provision of the urdin ance which empowered him to impose line of $10 at the expiration of forty eight hours and $5 for every fovty elgbt hours thereafter the dog remained alive. It was at this point that appeal was made to Justice Gayuor a writ prohibiting the justice from carrying out his implied intention.

Lawyer Herman V. Koeplie made the application and Donald V. Ayres opposed. Here is what Judge Gayuor says in granting the writ: The charter of Brooklyn empowers the common council to enact ordinances to refiulate ami liomse a variety of occupations, plices and things, including "common shows mid Claiming to act in pursuance' of and within this, power to lonislate tlm conferred unon it by the state legislature, the cornrnon oounuil many years ago passed an ordinance that if any ilog shall attack a person at any place except on the premises of his owuor. upon a complaint be ins made to the mayor, or a police justice, tie shall inquire into the complaint, "and it satisfied of its truth, and that such dog is dangerous, lie shall order the owner or pees sor of such dog to kill him immediately;" and if the oivner rel'nsos to obey ths order within i'orty eisht hours ha Khali iorfoit $10, and ako $5 more every forty eight hours therefore until the dosis killed.

A police justice having ordered the relator to kill ins under this ordinance and the relator Inivme refused to obey, the police justice has now brought the relator before mm on a warrant and is proceeding to onforoe the prescribed penalty. TIiib is asked to issue a writ of prohibition in the name of the people commsndins tho police justice to dosist. liy the return of the proceedings to this oourt it uppear.i that one Thomas Croke made a written complaint to the justice that tho don bit him on a public street. It will be observed that the ordiuanec only Dro fessed to coufer jurisdiction on a justice to act in a case where a dog "attacks person." Thu complaint allege1; no attack by the dog; and when I come to read the evidence given by CroKo upon The examination in the procHodmtrs against the owner I find that lie swears that the dog was on the street with th owner's boy. and that (to use his exact wordn) "I oc hold of the boy ami the doe hit nie," so that insti.

ad of the dog inakiuu attack, Croke stems to have attacked the bin and the dog defended him. No oomplaint beinu made to the justice rhat the dug had made an 1aclc. be was without jurisdiction to do anything in the matter, oonoruir.jr the ordinance to us valid. But, furthermore, the justice proceeded under the complaint, jrave judgment against the dog and ordered his owner to kill him, without having given any notice of heurinK and opportunity to be heard thereunder to the owner. Property may not be taken, affoeted or destroyed except by dne process of law, which requires notice of hearing to the owuor and opportunity to be heard.

(State constitution, article i. section Stuart vs. Palmer, 7 N. 183.) Under the common law of England a dog was not property. It was not larceny to steal a dog, though it was larceny to steal a deau dog's hide.

But the world moves, and those crudities no longer exiBt, and in this st ate a doe is property. (Mullaly vs. the people, SO, M. 305.) Tlie doji from the beginning lias been the friend and 1 solace of men, and the law has only recognized the testimony of human nature, history and Soetry in withdrawing him from outlawry. (3 lot.

Dutch S8: Odyser, b. 17; Moore's vol. 7, 2H3.) It may be well to remember in excuse of the courts, how over, that when they declared that a dog was not property, it was in order to decide that it was not larceny to steal him. for the preserved punishment at that for larceny of property of the value nfl'i police or more was death, and th thought it not fit that a man nhouid die for a dog. (Coke's 3d, 100, etc.) And yet it was larceny to steal a tame hawk.

nnd. as I have said, a dox's hide. But trying to forget these oddities, sulflce it that a dog is property in the fullest, senso in this state, and there fore the ordT of the justice to kill this doc was absolutely void, because he gave judgment without a hearing, and. as has benn seei', that Is no judgment at all. ami can nothinu' an 1 nobody.

It follows, of course, that the justice has no jurisdiction to unisli the owner for not having obeyed tins void order or judgment. As to th'j ordinance itself, it is one of those absurdities which we often encounter. It. is void. It professes to authorize judgment without the constitutional prerequisite of a judicial hearing npon due Anil besides I do not find any authority going so far as to suggest that a statue authorizing a common council or local body to pass an ordinance to "regulate and license" dogs, or swine, or cows.

conferB power to or.ss an ordinance to kill them. The common law is that a ferocious or dangerous dog running at lame in a public street is a "uisanco Mid may be Killed by any one. Tito intervention of a police Justice iR wholly unnecessary. TMs ordinance is a fair sample of too mu. 'h law and government like many others enacted in Brooklyn, one of which is that no office holder shall allow his chimney to take fire, I think it proner to say that I do not see that the police justice is open to blame.

He only did what has been done by his predecessors for long time. Jj6t the writ issue. QJJIBBLI.VG MR. FUItGCBSOX, JR. Re's a Chip of the ii iitoclt, ami No rnsiw'jtltf.

Tbo old New Utrecht policemen, who were reappointed when tho town became a ward, wore somewhat astonished yester.lav when their month's salary was not forthcoming. Thoy were notified that the old town ofilciiiis had not turned over their accounts to the city authorities and in consequence there was no money on hand to pay thom. The patrolmen had not tho slightest inkling that they wonld not be paid, as they all received their money last month. The warrants were mudo out at tho police commissioner's office and passed by the controller. The money was token from tae city's police approprintiaa fund and will have to bo roplaced when New Utrecht's money is turned over.

Cornelius Furtjueson, counsel to the old town boards, said this morning "Before any money is turned over to tho city tho courts will have to decide against us. I believe steps will he taken to secure a mandamus within a week to compel the old officials to pay over the accounts." When the city took charge of Flatbush, tho old policemen there were compelled to wait many days for their lirst mouth's pay before the old officials turned over the nceouutn. In Grave send it was different. Nono of the old police wero re appointed, but men were transferred from various city precincts to take charge of the new ward. THE HOCS C.

hich he says is organized for the purpose of swindling ignorant Chinamen. Early in July Ham Biug, a Sunday school Mongolian, bought Lou Quong's lnundry, at 539 Fourth avenuo, on the owner's representation that it paid per week. Bing agreed to gave Quong for the place and paid him 155 down, promising to give him the balance in a week. Business was bad and Bing complained. Next week it was better, but by accident Bing discovered that other Chinamen "who wero standing in with Quong were sending him their work for the time being.

Justice Tight swere out a warrant for Yuong's arrest. Then the above named association, to which Quong belongs, threatened to kill Dr. Thomas and Ham Bing. Neither of thom Is afraid, however, and will continue the prosecution. XATV TAED CLOSED JJ0XDAY.

One Constitutional Delegate Looked on the Question us Having an Important bearing on the American Frlnolple or the "Eternal Separation of Church nnd I tute" Amendments Offered Votes on All PenTKKg Will Bo Taken Next Tucsdny. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, N.

September 1 As soon as tho constitutional convention opened its proceedings to day a resolution of sympathy to David McClure of New York city on the death of his son was adopted. Daniel H. McMillan ot Buffalo reported the amendment of Edward Lauterbach ot New York city, fixing tho terms of the governor and lieutonant governor and state officers at two years and providing that the governor and officers elected next preceding the time when the section shall take effect shall hold office until December 81, 189C, and their successors shall be chosen at the general election of that year. The first election of the secretary of state, controller, attorney general and state engineer under the now article shall be held, in 1896 and their term shall be three years. At the general election of 1898 and every two years thereafter their successors shall be chosen for terms of two years.

Chairman Root oi the committee on rules moved the adoption of the amendment offered by John A. Barhito of Rochester providing that a majority instead of two lrds may fix a special order. This was adopted without discussion. The order In which amendments shall be considered was also adopted, the apportionment article being given precedence. The convention then went into committee of' the whole on the education article, the pending question being tho amendment of Mr.

Lauterbach to President Choate's motion, striking out the provision which allows public money to be used for educational departments in charitable institutions. Mr. Lauterbach's amendment allows public money to be used for education In orphan asylums and reformatory Institutions in whioh education is merely incidental. Mr. Lauterbach said that children in such institutions cannot get an.

education outside. He asked if the vicious children In reformatory institutions should be marched out to school and back again after school was over. It should not be enacted that state aid should be withheld from all institutions in which tuition Is given. Place the Instruction under the control of the superintendent of public instruction, hut do not cut them off. The state should not pay for religious instruction and he did not think that it was doing so.

John A. McDonough of Albany declares that the convention promised to "be more bigoted than the know nothings of 1858." The amendment as it stood was an attack on religious bodies. If it should he enacted that not a dollar should be spent for any school in which anarchy is encouraged the people would approve it, but here was an amendment which declared that no state money should be expended for schools In which religion is taught. Mr. McDonough added that the religious schools Baved the state $2,445,000,000 a year, which would be the interest on the sum needed to erect new school houses and pay for the education of the children now educated by denominations.

By common consent President Choate's amendment was adopted. Mr. Lauterbach's was put over until next week. Francis Forbes oi New York city moved to amend, by inserting in place of Mr. Lauterbach's amendment the following: "This section shall not apply to corporations organized under general laws applicable to all orphan asylums or institutions for the care and maintenance of dependent persons under 16 yearB of ago committed thereto under provisions, contained In said general laws.

Such general laws may be repealed or amended." John I. Gilbert of Malone then delivered an earnest speech in favor of a general religious instruction instead of a sectarian education. His remarks were addressed chiefly to Father Ducey of New York, who was In to day's convention audience. Mirabeau L. Towns of Brooklyn said that to deny state aid to charitable Institutions would be to break the contract entered into by the stats.

Lewis Marshall of Syracuse offered the following substitute for Mr. Lauterbach's amendment which was aocepted by Mr. Lauterbach to be added to his: "This section shall not prohibit the appropriation of money for secular instruction to the inmates of any orphan asylum or of any institution to which children may be committed by judicial pro cesB In which education is Incidental only." F. W. of Yonkers declared that Mr.

Lauterbach's and Mr. Marshall's amendment both meant the same thing. The amendment did nothing to aid the charities, but it threw open the door to giving state aid to sectarian schools. One of tho speakers had said that this was a small question. It was tho greatest question to his mind that could be or would be brought before the convention.

It was not a question of religion or of party, but a question of maintaining the American principle of the eternal separation of church and state. The debate was interrupted here by a recess until 3 P. M. It haB been decided to take the vote on all pending amendments to the educational article next Tuesday. SHOT HIMSELF IN THE BREAST.
