of this fund If police force which is the right hand of tho Mayor In enforcing the law Is being corrupted any means which he may take to find out the exact facts are justifiable Low did not deny the

this matter what they were The letter which George F of the National Retail Liquor Dealers to Mayor Low asking for a on the excise at Albany wan A committee having been by the wins liquor and beer

persisted her master answer I am Just after axing him if his grandmother was a And Mr Jerome When asked what he had quo dealers Mr Jerome said merely given them some fatherly advice He said his sympathy was with them In the fullest measure This it seems to he said is not one conducing to the public welfare or to public morality There are men women and children In New Turk directly or indirectly Identified with the liquor ness They have invested a great deal of money in their business They are paying such a high license now that In many cases they are only making bartenders wages and sometimes not even that Now it Is an as it were entirely without notice and warning to jump this license 50 per cent If a measure of that nature was taken in an- other industry it would precipitate a riot That is the business side of this sition and you've got to look at it that way In dealing with the liquor dealers and their business you are dealing with a cial business which whilo you and I may not think very highly of it a perfectly legal way of earning a And another thing most of these men are over thirty-five years old They are men who have learned no trade and could not earn a livelihood In any other way They are fighting for their very lives In fighting this measure Mr Jerome said it was a mistaken notion that this would strike a blow at the evil resorts These he could well afford to pay no 100 or 200 per cent higher license than they are paying Those that would have to go fo the wall said he said Mr MR BOWEN IMPATIENT AT DELAY BY POWERS Sends Note to

the persistent reports which have been lated there might be a disposition on the of the allied powers to settle di- President Castro the question of the payments o the claims of their citizens Venezuela coupled with the delay In settling the tional protocols Herbert W Bowen Plenipotentiary has made an effort to obtain positive information from the allies as to their intentions in the premises With this purpose in view he addressed to Sir Michael Herbert the Brit- ish Ambassador at Washington a polite calling attention to the delay of about a month and to the rumors that have been current that the powers are not disposed to send the question of preferential treatment to The Hague Mr Bowen urged It as de- sirable that some declarations should be mode by the allies as to what they will do According to the terms of the protocol signed by Mr Bowen with Germany Great Mr j said that the liquor dealers committee had come to him In a state of to than n the question of blackmail While they considered the Mavor had a perfect right to ask them in regard to the rumors which had reached hRn on this subject they thought It exceedingly less on his part to endeavor to make that

It will as much effect ns his refusal to take part in the St Patrick's Day Mr Jerome was asked Deponent sayeth not was his reply Mr Jerome said if the committee had a letter to Mayor Low regarding the situation he knew Its contents LINDINGER TO THE MAYOR The following letter has been sent to the Mayor by Fritz Lindinger on behalf of the Wine Liquor and Beer Dealers e or If they Vmt It uwd pose in

was headed by Fritz Prior to the hearing Mr had heard over the telephone that Mayor Low written a letter He learned the con- tents and when he arrived with his cohorts at the Mayor's office they were vociferous and angry Letter or no shouted Lindinger In the corridors of the Mayor's office we would have come here anyway We came to see the Mayor on a matter of business and not to be interrogated about what our organization does with its funds Why it an outrage for the Mayor to send such a letter as that and we have been grossly in- It was all right when he was a were the small saloon keepers If this becomes a law Jerome it will tend to develop places where liquor is sold In and without a license all over town is comparatively little selling of liquor without n license in this city now

claims against Venezuela pending the decision of The Hague tribunal and the customs receipts were to be paid out in accordance with the decision of that tri- bunal on ths question of preferential ment The first allotment of customs receipts was to be paid on April 1 covering the receipts for March As this time is near at hand and there does not seem to be any disposition on the part of the allies to ceed with any dispatch with the tion of The Hague protocols Mr Bowen floes not think that Venezuela should be bound to pay the 30 per cent provided for In the protocol of Feb 13 if The Hague protocol Is not signed before April 1 and took that position in the note to Sir Mi- chael Herbert Mr Bowen feels there should be a understanding respecting the tions of thf allies as to The Hague protocol before April 1 when the first installment of customs receipts of the two ports Is to be set aside as provided for Venezuela has devised a means for meeting the issue In case of default by consenting that gian officials are to be placed in charge of the customs and the purposes of the he should be stated definitely If The Hague protocols were nol signed and allies determined hereafter to deal directly with Mr Castro then would arise as to what should be done with the money paid to the representative of the Bank of England on April 1 from the toms receipts of the two ports named The suggestion Is made that that official being In the employ of the British Govern- the money might be retained by to satisfy the claims of Great Britain and in this way they secure an tage over other equally meritorious ants The note of Mr Bowen It Is believed here will bring the whole question to an issue promptly and terminate the Indecision which now apparently obtains as to just what the
