NEW YORK HOTEL MEN OPPOSE NEW AUTO LAW. Organize With Connecticut and Mas- sachusetts for Uniform Regulations. New York, Sept. 1.—Hotel men of | New York state and city, Massachu- Setts, Connecticut and elsewhere met here today to organize the Interstate Hotel Men's Protective association, which will try to secure uniform auto— mobile laws throughout the country and the repeal of the law that went in- to effect in this state today. The new law in this state does not recognize licenses issued by other states which discriminate against New York by allowing New York own- ers only a limited time to take out li- censes when traversing their territory. “It is certain,” said F. H. Elliot, chief of the bureal of licenses in New York state, “that New Jersey cars will be sent back by the same ferry on which | they come over, unless they first send | here and get the proper license. Al-| though the escretary of state has de- | cided not to enforce the new law until Sept. 9, because it is so much misun- derstood, it is actually in force now and arrests may be made.” This spirit.of recrimination is what the hotel men deplore. They say it has a serious effect not only on their | own interstate business, but on busi- ness in general. ESTABLISHES TRUST FUND TO EDUCATE HIS CHILDREN.

The borough of the Bronx showed the greatest increase in the sreater city, Queens, Brooklyn, Richmond antl Manhattan following next in_order. The figures for these boroughs to- gether with the increases are as fol- lows: p Bronx—430,980, an increase of 230,- 473, or 114.9 per cent. Queen—284,041, an increase of 131,- 042, or 87.6 per cent.

New York, Sept. 1.—While New York, according to the English census returns of 1909, is still 2,662,857 souls behind London in the race for the greatest city of the world, she is sp far ahead of the other great cities of the globe that there is little likelihood of any of them catching her in many decades. The census of 1909 showed Greater London's population to be 7.- 429.740 as against 6,581,372 in 1901 That New York is slowly catching London is shown by the fact that in eight years London’s increase was 45,368, while that of New York for ten years was 1,329,681 PUBLIC DEBT INCREASES BY NEARLY FOUR MILLIONS. Government Report for Second Month of Figgal Year. Washington, Sept. 1.—With an in- crease of $3,273,325 in the public debt and & total deficit of $17,371468.08, the United States treasury closed the sec- ond month of the fiscal year, keeping on an even keel, all circumsances con- sidered,with a working balance of $30,- §26,057.23 on hand and the general fund down to $89,528,207.59. The increase in public debt, which is a complete turnover of four milllons in round numbers from the month of July, is due largely to an excess of national bank deposits over redemp- tions. The genéral rule of excess of expenditures over receipts during July and August is also a contributory cause. The working balance is a shade bet- ter than the close of July.

L—An uprising against the government is reported in the province of Neuva Vizecaya. A con- stabulary force is hurrying to the scenz and a battle is expected hourly.

Washington, Sept. 1.—Mail despatch- es received at the war department to- day brought detailed accounts of the disfavor into which Simeon Mandac had fallen since his election to the governorship of llocos Norts province last January. Tt is taken to explain the motive of Mandac in organizing the present uprising. He lost his position as governor as a result of a charge of the murder of one Deogracias Agcanas at Laog, the capital of the province of Ilocos. on March 17. Ageanas and seven others had been arrested as accomplices in the killing of a horse in the night time. Upon investigation by a local official they were released. Kicked Prisoner in the Stomach. Thereupon, it is alleged that Gov- ernor Mandac made 2 star chamber investigation and maltreated the pris oners to force a confession, going far as to kick Agcanas in the stomach. From the internal injuries Ageanas thus received, it is alleged, he dizd the following day. - Took Appeal and Skipped Bonds. Mandac was arrested and tried on a charge of homiclde before Judge P. M. Mair, was convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for fourteen years. An appeal was taken to the supreme court of the Philippiness and Mandac was released on $5.008 bonds. Suddenly Mandac disappeared and all the at- tempts of the bondsmen, the constab- ulary and the secret service to discover him failed. At his home it was said that he had gone to Bulacan to find new bondsmen, but he could not be found there.

New Flaven, Sept. 1.—~The' State Bus- fness Men's association has replied to President Mellew's letter to the Con- necticut Wditorial association by ad- dressing itself o the latter body, and taking up what it terms the underly- ing principles of the utilities bill. Itis sot forth that the business men of the state believe in enforceableness of le- gal obligations and the efficiency, of administration. Of the former it says that the fact that there is seidom any necessity for enforcing a given legal obligation is no argument against pro- viding means for its enforcement. On the other point, the association’s let- ter says that most ouestions which arise hetween the public and the pub- lic service corporations come from ad- ministration, and these can be more jusily and efficiently decided by & small permanent commission than by a large bi-cameral legislative body. The letter then sets forth what it terms abuses and enumerates these: TUnused charter rights traffic in spe- cial charters: unsafe conditions; in~ correct meters, aml refusal to supply service: and upon each a short de- scriptive explanation is given.
