Local Board of Improvement Removes Last Obstacle to Project and Millions of Dollars Will Be Spent in Construction. ‘The largest drydock in the word Is to be built at once at Bay Ridge by the International Navigation Company. The Inst obstacle in the way of the plan was removed to-day when the Bay Ridge Board of Local Improvement oted to close Fifty-seventh street, which runs through the property of the trust. Millions of dollars will be spent in raking the property not only the lar- gest, but the most finely equipped of any now constructed. The work will start at once and 5,00 men will be em- ployed to push it to early completion. The trust bought most of the property for the drydock some time ago, hut met with opposition in the eftort/to have Fifty-seventh street closed. ‘Although the street practically never has existed except on the map and had never been graded or paved, somo objectors hin- dered tho negotiations with the Board of Local Improvement. It was agreed this morning that in return for the concession the Morgan combine would deed to the city a strip of land of equal width, forty feet to {he south, This street wili be improved to give an opening to the water front @t that point. The proposed drydock will be large enough to do all the business of the trust. | Heretofore there have been no Gozcccks in New Y¥: enough to handle the big rst steamers and Shey. have had to be lred abroad. future all this will be done in New York.

ALL DIED THE SAME DAY. The unusual spectacle of two double funerals in the same section of the city! was witnessed this afternoon on the upper west side. In both cases the deaths occurred on Monday and witain @ few hours of each other. ‘The first of the funerals occurred at 1,8) o'clock in the Fourth Presbyterian Chureh, Ninety-first street and West] End avenue, where services were con- ducted over the remains of David Fouls and his wife, Elizabeta A. Foults, each of whom wag sixty-nine years old. The couple lived at No. 26) West One Hun- dred and Fifteenth atreet. Foulis was an authority on curling and golf and was the landscape gardener of Georgian Court, George J. Go estate at Lake- wood, N. J. He dled on Monday of pleurisy, and early the next morning the death of his wife occurred, She succumbed to paralysis, it being her second stroke. ‘The funerals were attended by large numbers of the friends of the dead couple and by delegations from the New York Scottish Boclety, the National Curling Association and the Caledonian Club, Interment was in the family plot at Grenwood, ; ‘The second double funeral was that of John Sidley, a retired druggist and his daugifter, Mary Josephine, who died within an hour and a half of each other Monday evening.

Before I fix another hour for such an appointment, however, I am obliged to ask your attention to an aspect of the question which seams to me of great importance. ; “There have been persistent rumors for a very tong time that the local Liquor Dealers’ Association. through its subordinate groups or eections—eaid to be sixty-five in number—had been in tbe habit of assessing the proprietor of every saloon $5 pet woek (or $5 per Sunday); thus creating @ fund from the up- ward of 12,000 saloons in the city of New York, which amounts to more than $3,000,000 per annum, Without asserting the correctness of such rumors, I etill think that it is Incumbent upon you, as the representatives of this interest, and as a preliminary to any discussion of the subject on my part, to submit to me proof that these rumors as to the collection of such assessment are without foundation; or, if they are true, to state specifically for what purpose this great sum és used. Awaiting your reply, I am, gentlemen, yours very truly, (Bigned) SETH LOW, Mayor.” New York, March 19, 1903, LETTER HAD STARTLING EFFECT. ; . Notwithstanding that the committee's letter of request was sent on heard from the committee in any form. He declared that he had no views to express on the subject of the proposed increased taxation, and indicated /by manner and speech that whatever views hé entertained were strictly fore, and the evidence that he had previously been in communication with the representatives of the liquor dealers came with startling effect. President Lindinger, of the Liquor Dealers’ Association, first heard of the letter when Assistant Secretary Moran, of the Mayor's office, read ft to him over the ‘phone. Lindinger was enraged. “That's an outrage,” he shouted ‘back over the ‘phone. “The Mayor has no license to make such insinuation. Our com- mittee will see the Mayor at once. We shall go promptly to the City Hall.” “THE MAYOR WON’T SEE YOU.” “You needn’t come up here. The Mayor won't see you,” called back Secretary Moran. “He will see us or we will know the reason,” retorted President Lindinger. Halt an hour later Lindinger at the head of his committee marched up to the Mayor's office. At the door they were stopped by Police Sergt, Kennell and Policeman Kuntz, who had recelved-the tip to keep out the Irate liquor men. “The Mayor will not see your committee,” declared Sergt. Kennell, ad- dressing President Lindinger. “We insist on knowing why the Mayor will not receive aus,” demanded several of the committeemen. When communication between the Mayor ano the members of the com- mittee was finally established through an official proxy of the Mayor's of- fic> this word was received from the City’s Executive: ‘The Mayor will not see the m»mbers of the committee untl!l their organization has answered the letter and the charges implied therein.” LINDINGER LAYS DOWN THE LAW. “That is an outrageous ultimatum,” declared Lindinger. “What do we know about rumored charges of a corruption fund which may have reached the Mayor Are we to be indicted on mere rumor?” The committee which at this point was in a very hot mood said things that were not nice about the Mayor. President Lindinger said to the news- paper men: “We are glad that we have at last spiked the Mayor’s position in this matter. He has finally shown his hand and with good effect. His letter 1s an insulting document, one not worthy of the answer which the Mayor declares he must have before he will defer to a meeting with us. His attitude is tyrannical and unjust. Truly he has plastered himself with the motto: ‘I am Czar of New York.’ ‘The Mayor insinuates that a fund for blackmailing purposes is on foot or is @ recognized institution of our organization. You will naturally infer that any such fund would be used for police protection purposes, If that is 80, then the liquor dealers are blackmailing the men of Commissioner Greene's department. And who is Commissioner Greene? Mayor Low's appointee, WHY NOT PROSECUTE US? “If a fund for blackmail existe the Mayor must know that the creation of such a fund fs a criminal act, He has the power and machinery to investigate. Why doesn’t he? Why didn’t he ask the District-Attorney to investigate and prosecute? “Why does he have men on the Police Department who accept black- mail? Are they fit men to have while this sanctified, pure, reform Govern- ment wields the gavel of authority? It is farcical, “I worked for the interests of Mayor Low during the campaign of 1901. Many other men in my business did likewise. Our political faith has under- gone a decided change, Our association to a man and the independent liquor dealers of this city know in which direction their votes will be cast next November.” President Lindinger and his committee then proceeded to the office of District-Attorney Jerome, DISTRICT-ATTORNEY’S ADVICE, They asked Mr. Jerome what they ought to do about the Mayor's letter. He advised that they consult counsel, “I think {it is your right that the Mayor be asked to prove his assertion, jwhich appears to be based upon something he has heard,” said Mr. Jerome, “See your lawyer and come back here later on, “Everybody knows how I stand on this question,” continued the Dis- trict-Attorney. “I belleve that the proposed increase in the Hquor tax is a glaring injustice. It will mean the growth of speak-easies and dives and will drive many honest men doing business to ruin, “We recognize and sanction the liquor business, It is a legitimate busi- ness. The majority of liquor dealers have invested their money in good faith on an $800 license basis. To increase thie tax for political purposes within a few days of the first announcement of such intention is out- rageously unfair,” The committee was composed as follows: Michael Hines, George With a basket full of chocolate mice @Minder, Francis Doyle, John J, Little, John P, O'Connell, George Holstein, over bis arm, William Bloch, a candy Peddler, twenty-one, of No. 1 Henry etreet, was charged with disorderly con- duct in Keyex Market Court to-day, Policeman Little said Bloch was in front of Grammar School No. 4, at Riv- ington and Ridge strects, surrounded by wa Bloch had @ cardboard box} wi ar Ry of is ie t, Borty- Be oF paper ip it, | a ie ‘nad rahe Moris cw ¥.
