The statement. In part, was as follows: "The insincerity cf Governor Sulzer's personal abuse of the Democratic) leaders In the State can be proved to the satisfaction of any fair man. Has Govornor Sulzer ever told the public that on February 2 he went to New York hy appointment to see Charles F. Murphy, left the train at 125th street and conferred with Mr. Murphy for six hours?

Tammany Leader Dowling Objects to Motion Taking TJp Report by Sections.

The defeat of the Curran Committee's police report was practically conceded by Alderman Curran in the Board of Aldermen today when Mr. Curran, upon the-Introduction of the report, moved that It be taken up section by section. The report is In five sections but It is the first one recommending the removal of Police Commissioner Waldo, around which most of the opposition baB centered. Tammany Leader Frank Dowllng Indicated that no compromise would bo offered the fuslonists when he opposed Curran's motion and insisted that the report be considered as a whole. Tbe fusion paper majority of four In tho Board of Aldermen vanished into thin air with the absence of Aldermen Niles K.

Becker and Nathan Lleberman of Manhattan, Alderman William H. Pendry of Brooklyn und Borough President George II. Cromwell of Richmond. Break on Questions of Waldo's Removal. This brought tho standing of the board to a tie 37 to 37.

But it was assured that the Fuslonists could not count on 37 votes. All the Borough Prcsidnts, with the exception of Cromwell, wero present, and although three of them are Fuslonists, all wero prepared to vote against the adoption of tho report. They expressed the same attitude: That while they thought that sumo of the recommendations wero fine, they thought that tho demand for Waldo's head was unnecessary and unwise. Alderman Courtlandt Nicoll of Manhattan, another Fusionlst, bore out tho that he would opposo tho adoption of tho whole report by speaking in favor of Curran's motion to take it up section by section. While he fnvored some of the recommendations, he said ho was absolutely opposed to others, and was only half-hearted about still others.

Dowling contended that the recommendations of the committee, If adopted by a vote of the board would have no effect. It would simply umount to a veto on the part of the Mayor, he said. And then he said that he had been considering analternatlve plan of taking some of the reoommendntlons on which the members were agreed drafting them in the form of ordinances and putting them through In that way. Out of tho 02 reeommendations they might got 24 acceptable for ordinances In this way, he declared, and passed in the form of ordinances they would be effective while in the form of recommendations they would not. The question of taking up the reports as a whole or taking it up section by section was brought to a vote by Dowling.

Tho vote was 38 to 87 In favor of Curran's motion. Borough President Steers wase the only Fusion member voting against it MRS. SHERMAN SECURES REST Differences With Mrs. Sarah M. Kuhllu Halted by Court Order.

NO GUN PLAY AT TONG OUTING On Leongs on "Peaceable Pic nic" at College Point. The On Leong Tons; Association, mer chants from Chinatown, Manhattan, are holding what they call a "peace festival" today at Point View Island, College Point.

They want to show tho Christian world that the Chinese can hold an outing the same as their wrhlte brethern free from the gun plays which have marked some of their religious festivals in Chinatown. Conspicuous by their absence were members from the Hip Sing Tong and Four Brothers' Societies, whose feuds in the past have resulted In numorous murders in Chinatown. Led by Municipal Justice Julian Hoyer and Louis Young Hok, president, tho On Leong Tong merchants paraded through the principal streets of Chinatown and the East Side this morning to the East River where thoy boarded tho steamer Sirius' for College Point. They were led by the Sixty-ninth Regiment Band and when the grove was reached tho band was supplanted by a native orchestra, which played Chinese nirs on curious looking instruments. There were Chinamen present from all Eastern cities and as far West as St.

Louis and Chicago. Even the venerable Tom Lee, the former mayor of Chinatown, did not let his 85 years cause him to miss the outing. FELDMAN FEARED FOR LIFE Failure to Prosecute Alleged Gang Leader Leads to His Arrest, Too. Both Jacob Kronesky, known In the East New Yorw section as "Greenle," al leged leader of the "Greenle Gang," and Isadorc Feldman. who had made a holdup charge sgalnst Kronesky, were today held for the Grand Jury by Magistrate Gels- mar in the New Jersey avenue court Feldman, who latter admitted he had been threatened, at first wanted to withdraw his complaint against Kronesky, who is but IS years old, and a charge of compounding a felony was made against Feldman by Police Officer O'Con nor at the direction of the magistrate.

The holdup of Feldman took place last Saturday evening. At the Brownsville Btation Feldman made his experience known, and Kronesky, who said he lived ou Dumont avenue, was arrcetcd. When he was arraigned Sunday morning in the East New York court before Magistrate Hylan, there was no one to mako a complaint, and an order was sent to Feldman, who lives at 80 Amboy street, to be present In court today. When Feldman came before Magistrate Geiemar he aald he did not want to presB the charge against Kronesky. whereupon the magistrate ordered a charge of having compounded a felony to be made against the electrician.

Feldman was held for the Grand Jury on this charge, but as be was about to be led into the prisoners' pen he changed his mind and said be wanted to press the charge against the other prisoner, who was also held for the Grand Jury. Tho two men were then carted away In the same prison van, handcuffed to each other. Whether the charge against Feldman will be pressed or not depends on the attitude ot the District Attorney. To the magistrate Feldman admitted he had been threatened by men he thought were members of tbe "Greenle Gang" if he did not "let up" on the alleged leader. Commerce Commission Says They Must Not Be Lower Than From New York.

DECISION ON REHEARING. Differential Case Involved Adjustment of Rates on Import Traffic -of Eastern Ports. Washington, June 17 Freight rates on westbound import trufflj Boston must not be lower than from New York City. The decision as today made by the Interstate Commerce Commission after a rehearing of the so-ialled differential case, which involved the adjustment of rates on Import traffic among the cities of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. For many years agreed-upon differentials were maintained by the railroads on west-bound import traffic from the cities named.

Boston felt that it was being discriminated against as a port and shipping center, and a rate war was begun by the Boston and Maine Railroad In an effort to secure ns low or lower rates from Boston as from the other differential cities. This war resulted finally In the carrying by the roads of import traffic at lower rates than applied to domestic traffic, and, really, at leas tbau cost of service. The Inter-State Commerce Commission was appealed to act as a board of arbitration In the matter. After exhaustive hearings the Commission established cvrtaiu rates, maintaining generally the former differentials. A supplemental opinion held that tua rates on Import traffic should not be lower from Boston than from New York, Shipping Interests of Boston joined with the Boston and Maine and the Boston and Albany in asking for a rehearing, and the Commission granted the petition "on the sole question of the relationship of the Inland rates on import shipments destined to the so-called differential territory, as between Boston and New York." In its opinion today the commission points out that the commercial Interests of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore and the railroad serving them strongly protested against Boston having lower rates than New York.

The Intimation was pointed out that If Boston were accorded that advantage it would result In another and more far-reaching rate war. In conclusion, the commission says: "It is strongly urged that unless the Import ratos from Boston are lower than from lork, it will be harmful to existing conditions and make It difficult for Boston to retain the import business which it now has. However much sympathy we may have with that argument, we cannot make it the basis of a finding as to unjust discrimination such as it prohibited by the act." ROUNDS UP ALLEGED SLAYER Police Believe They Have Man Who Killed Toumanin Yesterday. Quick work by the police of the Fourth avenue station in following up the loose cnas of promising clues resulted tndnv in the arraignment of August Soumanin, a ears old, or Eighth avenue, near Forty-first street, before Miiri.i.,i.

A short time later Soumanin returned to the saloon again, tills time with 90 cents In his pockets, part of which he spent on drink.

"EVERY DEFEAT A TRIUMPH." Martin Glynn Gives Plain Talk to Young Graduates. Here Is tbe advice of Lieutenant Governor Martin H. Glynn to young college graduates, as given In an nddress last evening the commencement exercises at Fordham Unlverslt: "With the equipment Fordham gives you, my young friends, you ought to be somebody and do something out in the world if only you will work. Don't rattle around in the shoes of the present, waiting for the slippers of the future Dead men's shoes often have no soles, and frequently poor uppers. Take Carlisle's advice and do the work nearest at hand.

Realize that life's little things are the big things, and do not fear defeat. Tou will never win a victory if you never risk defeat. General Greene that pluoky Irish warrior never won a battle, yet every defeat was a triumph, and Washington won the Revolution by the battles that he lost. "Blaze your own way in life; walk on your own feet; work with your own hands; and speak with your own mind. Don't be a graphophone, and don't be an automaton! Circumstances may hamper you, but they cannot defeat yon if you keep your blood red and your brain clear.

Tallyrand wttked with difficulty, Alexander Pope wore a leather jacket to keep him from bending double; Jeapoleon rode a horse with the bouncings of a novice, Bobby Burns tipped the bottle, but he did not down the muse. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote like an angel while dying like a man, James G. Blaine solved problems of state while suffering pangs of pain. Helen Keller, though blind, and deaf and nu lhA wonders nf creation. hears' the music of the ages and speaks with the master minds of thought, John D.

Rockefeller cannot eat a square meel and Andrew Carnegie can't spell. Yet these people did not allow what they could not do to prevent them from doing what they could. Indifference to the magic of work, the potency of drudgery, is the curse of too many college men. They want to fly before they can creep; they want to be ten-thousand-dollar men before they aro thirty-cent apprentices. Not even college can teach the faculty of absorbing worldly wisdom as a sponge drinks water.

Worldly wisdom, my young friends. Is a slow growth. You can't get it in the circus of society or the pantomime of sport; you can't get it In the frivolities of pleasure or the steeplechase ot mirth; but you can get it In a man's work among men, and nowhere else." SULZER'S CALL ON HEARST DIDN'T MOVE HIM TO TEARS The Sulzer tv.il on Hearst that was brought up In the attack of "Packy" McCabe of Albany on the Governor yesterday was today acknowledged to have taken place by William R. Hearst, who at the same time declared he knew nothing of the reported scheme between Governor Sulzer and Charlos F. Murphy to deceive Hearst.

"Governor Sulzer did hot leave my house with tears in his eyes; that state ment is a great exaggeration," said Mr. Hearst today in reference to the attack by McCabe, who is the Clerk of the Senate, as well as the Democratic leader of Albany County. "There was no reason why he should have. "It is true that he called at my house and we had some discussion and a difference of opinion. You know I am something of progressive, which the Governor is, too.

Our discussion was entirely over the matter of principles and our disagreement was over a matter of certain progressive principles which I had advocated. "We did not agree, but there was nothing unpleasant, nor anything that would have disturbed him in the matter In which it is claimed that he was disturbed. The subject of our disagreement was over issues that have been discussed liberally in my newspapers and In the other press." When asked about the McCabe allegations that the Governor had attempted to induce Mr. Murphy to help him to deceive Mr. Hearst, the newspaper publisher replied, I don't know anything about that."

For the Governor the direct anTtne the Corrupt Practices act were Intro-1 duced. For the organization the uiau-velt bill was resubmitted in each house.

Senator Robert F. Wagner, speaking of the Governor's bill, scored the executive. He "Within a few days the corrupt practices used, the threats made and the promises glveu by Governor Sulzer will be made known." This is merely one form of the Tammany threat. It Is assumed. In advance of any special knowledge, that tbe organization will attack the Governor through the special committee of seven, headed by Senator James J.

Frawley. Mr. Wagner's reference was to the repeated rumors that the Governor has overstepped the limits of his offloe in dealing with the legislators. The atmosphere here is very unfriendly to the Governor. Men close to Hearst are claiming that the Governor broke his word in the subway matter.
