Mayor Gaynor, to-day, veteod the action of the Board of Aldermen, saying ho was constrained to do ev ve. cause of the amendment, “No censorship oan be established by lan,” saya the Mayor, “to deaide in ad- vemce what may or may not be iaw- fully printed or published.” The Mayor, however, desires that the Proposed ordinances be again coneilered by the Board and paved av quickly as posible, without those foatures which might render any ordinance illegal. | Alderman Raiph Folks sald to-day that he would at once got busy on the aug- gestion of the Mayor and present a moving picture\meseure which would pase the oriticism of any legal author- ity, The Mayor suggests also that the measure drawn up by the commission appointed by him to draft a oity law governing the situation be at once taken up by the Board and passed. ‘The Mayor's veto message ta, pn part, ae followe: “Gentlemen: I eeturn, disapproved, the Proposed ordinance, No. 8, entitled: ‘An Ordinance Relative to Motion Ph- ture Theatres.’ “I am constrained to do this because ot the provisions therein creating « censorship.

Buckner, counsel to the Aldermanic Investigating Committee, who was a witness for the defense, Proved that a lawyer makes a poor witness, He refused to confine himself to the rules of evidence, insisted om volunteering testimony and explanations en@ as advised by the Trial Commis- sioner to refrain from acting as though he were practising as counsel for ¢ Aldermanto Committee, where he bound by no rules whatever. The object of the defense in calling Mr. Buckner was to establish, if pos- sible, that there is no cormboratton of Mrs, Goode's charges against Skelly, to uphold the contention that the Leatl- moay of Mrs. Goode, without corrobora- tion, la worthless, because of her cbar- acter, Mr, Buckner said he was taken to visit Mrs, Goode by former Police Inspector Russell.

WOMEN AMONG RIOTERS Loyal Employes Attempt to Repel the Invaders With Pails of Water. Again violence in the garment workers’ strike ocourred in Willamsburg to-day —this time it was an attack by a crowd of not less than 90 foreign men and Women upon the big six-story store and manufacturing plant of Smith, Gray & Co., at Broadway and Bedford avenue, So vicious was the charge of the strik- ors, prearranged and delivered from three sides of the store, and so bitter the resistance put up by the loyal am- ployees within the establishment, that for almost an hour a pitched battle waged inside and outside of the big store and police reserves had to use their-clubs without stint to protect themselves as well as drive the invaders to cover. ATTACKING ARMY MOVE6 ALONG FOUR STREETS. ‘Three hundred and Mitty garment work- ers who are not metnbers of the striking union and who had remained loyal to their employers were at work on the upper floors of the bullding in the manu- facturing department when, near ten o'clock this morning, the strikers began to converge on the building from four directions. One contingent came from South Eighth street, another from South Fifth street, another band marched from Broadway from Drigws avenue and a fourth contingent moved up Broadway from the direction of the Broadway TION, BUCKNER TESTIFIES. “Tad you ask Mra, Goode if she had any corroboration of her charge against Skelly?’ asked Louls Grant, counsel for the accused policem “1 don’t think I dt," replied Buckner “And you took her before the Alder- manic Committee and let her tell her story without corrobaratton?” ‘I belleved her story.” “Didn't sho tell you she had ¢old In- wpector Dwyer ehe didn't know Skelly and hed never paid him @ cent?” “I believe her lawyer told her to tell Dwyer thet.” “Were you aware that a onminal charge wes pending aguinst her when the made her uncorroborated charge againat Skelly?" ‘Ter dail wea diecharged—" began Mr. Buckner. “Confine yourself to the questions” warned the Trial Commissioner, Mr, Buckner denied he had promised Mrs, Goode immuntty. He said he prob- ably hed told her he would talk to the District-Attorney about her vase and he wanted to entér into explanations, ‘Keep to the rules of evidence,” again warned Commissioner Walsh, “Of course you know I am the judge here. ‘This is not the Aldermanic investigation.” Jobn J, Halligan, @ lawyer, who Mra Goode hes eaid warned her she had bet- ter deny knowing Sedily, and Saggn Green, Mrs, Goode's negro maid, were other witnesses under subpoena for the Gkelly case to-day, SIPP FOUND IN NEWARK HOUR AFTER FOX 18 FREED. ‘The failure of the police tg produce Sipp and Dorian in the Tombs Court yesterday resulted in the discharge of Patrolman Eugene Fox, who had been arrested on Commissioner Waldo's omer on a charge of bribery, It hi been hinted that the potice arrested Fox for the purpose o' “beating the District-Attorney to tt, but whatever the idea apparently it col- lapsed yesterday with Fox's reiease A report was made public to-day that within an hour after Pox had been dts- charged Sipp was found by Detective John Conway in a Newark hotel, wh he was under the na: George Shaw,” It was sald he went there to get quiet, preliminary to a sure glow! operation.
