ae od PLMLEY'S 10 NOW IN DACER ‘When Senate Heard the Name t “Quigg” in Connection with \ Appointment as Sub-Treas- urer There Was an Inquiry. STRIVING NOW TO HOLD ON. Confirmation Withdrawn, It Is Be- lleved, That President May Inves- ‘ tigate the Major's Record in the { Post-Office Under Dayton. \ Major William Plimley ts in Wash- Yngton trying with might and main to hold on to his appointment as Sub- Treasurer of the Umired States, with headquarters in this city. The with- frawal of ‘his confirmation by the Sen ate came as a surprise to him, and he la striving to get that withdrawal’ set aside. ‘ It has been generally supposed that Major Plimley lives at the Endicott, in ‘West Highty-first street. He is around there a great deal of the time, but he does not live there. His home {s on the top floor of the apartment-house at No, 151 West Eightieth street. An Pvening ‘World reporter found Mrs. Plimley there to-day. “My husband 4s still in Washington,” she sald. “He has been misrepresented by the newspapers. and on that account there has been some trouble about his Appointment, but he hopes to succeed.” Charles W. Dayton said to-day that in witiclsing the appontment of Major Plimley he had no idea of creating the pression that Major Plimley is not honest. Charges Inefficiency. “When I became Postmaster,” Mr, Dayton, charge of the money order department, ang it was run inefficiently. When he Fesigned at my request his accounts were straight to a penny. I was sur- prised when he was appointed Sub- Dreasurer, believing that if he was in- yMiclent in the money order department xf the Post-Office he was not a fit man to have charge of the Sub-Treasury.” sald The impression among politicians is hat It was The Evening World's ex- Paved in the ‘appointment of Major limley that caused President Roose- felt to balk. Whether the President ow in the beginning that Major Plim- y was backed by Quigg is not known, but itis known that there was some: thing doing in the Senate the moment it became generally known in Wash- ton that Quigg was behind the ap- intment. Aldrich Acted for PresiJent, Senator Aldrich, the personal friend pf the President,’ made the motion to withdraw the confirmation of the intment of Major Plimley on round that it had been made Irregul sly. “At the same time, he” said, ‘was a personal appointment of the Pres. ident, and had not ‘been pressed by any iitician. It is not customary for the enate to interfere in the Presiden\ ersonal appointments, and the Impres- on prevails that Presigent Roosevelt ed Senator Aldrich to have the con- rmation of Major Plimley withdrawn in prder that his record might be Investl- Fated.

Quigg if LOW SILENT O NEW LIQUOR TAX Mayor Positively Refuses to Give His Views on Gov. Odell’s Measure to Provide for a Big Increase. | LIQUOR DEALERS ARE ASTIR. Mayor Low ts not prepared to com- mit himself on the subject of Gov. Odell's proposed increase In the liquor tax rate. The Mayor carefully avoided discussing the question to-day when seen at his office in the City Hall by an avening World reporter. “Do you approve or disapprove of the proposed increased tax?" the Mayor was asked. “I stfall not express my views on either glde of the suoject,” was his answer. “I don't care to discuss the question at this time,” he added. “Have you formulated any views on the matter which you will make known in the near future?” he was asked. “I am not dealing tn futures,” was the answer. “is Ita fact, Mr, Mayor, that you as- sured Representative Michael Hines, of the Liquor Dealers’ Association, that the liquor dealers of New York need not worry over the outcome of the present proposed liquor tax legislation?” “1 will say on that point,” the Mayor answered, “that I never gave any suen assurance {o any committee or any per- son."" “Have you recelyed any notice from a committee of liquor dealers that they would appear before you and protest | against the increased liquor tax?/ | "I have received no notice to that | effect.” George H. Davis, secretary of the | German-American Munictpal League and one of the committee of eighteen who selected Mayor Low as a candidate for ‘als pragent office, sald to-day: “The tendency of the proposed legisla- tion to increase the lquor tax will be to centralize the business and create a greater monopoly among the brewery Interests. It will drive out hundreds of retailers to the benefit of the large dealers, It will result in making many stores vacant, which cannot be relet to the same advantage, and have an indi- rect effect upon property values. It will thus hurt tne landlords: “The big brewers will not oppose the bill, because it will reduce expenses, in that fewer stores will have to be served, while there will be no diminution In the beer output.'” THE WORLD: TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 17, 1903.

The board was the organ- {gation at whose request the move against the crusher was made Commissioner Willcox denounced the Degnon-McLean contracting firm in un- measured terms for thelr persisten in maintainin what he described as “that hideous structure” in defiance of the wishes of the nelghborhood and of the Park Department.
