COMPANY'S BLUFF; CARS ARE STOPPED Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company Trying to Inconvenience the Public. HOPE TO HELP ITS CAUSE MANAGEMENT CAN'T COLLECT TEN CENTS FOR A RIDE AND TAKES SERVICE AWAY SHERIFF STANDS BY PEOPLE. Publishers' Tressl New York, Aug. 14. Following the arrest of Chief Inspector William Mayberry and two of his assistants in the employ of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company this afternoon, the road shut off all traffic to Coney Island on its surface car lines, taking the position that this was the only course to pursue, to stop rioting. The elevated and the express trains were not stopped. The arrests of the inspectors were on warrants procured from Magistrate Dooley in the Adams Street police court, by Assistant Mayberry. Inney Smith. Besides Mayberry, Inspectors Charles Edwards and Thomas Dungan were arrested. They were taken to the Adams street court and arraigned on charges of assault, made by a dozen complainants. The railway companies employes were represented by attorneys from its claim department and after entering pleas of not guilty they were admitted to bail for appeara-1 v later. The action of the company in suspending traffic, while in tho nature of a "bluff," caused great inconvenience to the public who live along the lines traversed by the trolley system and which are not touched by the elevated lines. Cars were run only to Prospect Park and Greenwood Cemetery. Residents of the thickly settled sections beyond those points were left without trolley service. Thousands of men and 'women, tired out after a day of hard work in city shops and offices, were compelled to walk, some for miles, from the points at which the trolleys stopped or from the elevated linos. The management is now trying to inconvenience the greatest number of people possible in the hope that the clamor for a resumption of service will overcome the protest against the charge of ten cents for a ride to Coney Island. The decision to cease operating cars was helped along by the announcement of Sheriff Flaherty of Brooklyn, that he intended to pro tect the people of Brooklyn.

THE LAW IS INTERPRETED

PROSECUTOR JESSUP GIVES SUPERINTENDENT BAILEY THE LAW, AND ARRESTS WILL FOLLOW IF IT IS VIOLATED. At tho request of Superintendent of Police Bailey, Prosecutor Jossup has interpreted the Ihw on the sale of liquor for household and individual use and according to the opinion of Attorney Jossup. Minck's Brewery and the five brewery agencies in this city must have a city and county license before they can retail intoxicating liquors in less quantity than five gallons. Now knowing the law in tho matter. Superintendent Bailey will instruct Minck's brewery and the agencies hero that they must obey it, or else suffer arrest. Tho licenses which are necessary .cost in total )70. Recently the police had trouble with the Indianapolis Brewery agency, because beer was sold to some colored girl. Supt. Bailey felt that the Agency had no right to sell the beer, and for that reason he asked for a construction of the law. The communication which ho received from Attorney Jossup, follows: Richmond, Ind., Aug. 14, 1006. Jesse A. Bailey, Esq.. Superintendent of Police, Richmond, Ind. Dear Sir: In regard to the matter of the sale of intoxicating liquors (beer especially) by certain brewery agencies, breweries, etc., the same not having a license so to do, permit me to say: That, all liquor sold, where the sale is as between Ihe seller and the consumer, provided the same sale is made in less than five gallons at a time, can only be sold in this state under a license regularly issued by the Board of Commissioners of the County, and the Town or City as the case may be. The legislature has not sought to control the sale as between the producer (brewery) and the distributor (the local saloon,) but only as between the producer and distributor on the one hand and the consumer on the other. This is not subject to the need of a license, provided the quantity is five gallons or larger "t the particular sale. So it is in the City of Richmond, there are several brewery agencies selling to the consumer, and likewise one brewery. Each sale, if under five gallons, is a violation of the law, if the person has not a license so to do; provided, the sale is made to a consumer. It is not a violation of the law for the agency or brewery to sell to the saloon keeper in such less quantity by the evident constructions placed by the highest courts. The exact number of such and like agencies in the City of Richmond. I do not know. This, however, you are able to ascertain through the police force of the City. You cannot compel any one to take out a license. All that you can do is to see that none is sold as above without the license first being obtained. This is no hardship as the business should without doubt be done by those parties in the City of Richmond who pay the required license fee amounting to some $:50.00 per year. You will further bear in mind that no license can be taken out in other than the name of an individual, and that such individual cannot in so doing act as tho agent of another person, thereby comprehending corporation. You will bear in mind that I cannot give any orders in this respect. These must come from your own responsibility, and that likewise the City Attorney is the legal adviser of tho Police Board and therefore of the police force. 1 find from the investigation made, that the County and City have neither granted licenses heretofore, probably because no applications have been made. This however is no excuse. 1 trust that your department will take such steps that the continuation of this practice may no longer exist. Very truly yours. WILFRKD .TESSl'P.

Things we do to be uncomfortable BID WAS LOW BUT HE LOST CONTRACT Henry Lippart Complains Because Trust Got Contract for Army Blankets. DEMANDS AN EXPLANATION GOVERNMENT FEARED LIPPART INTENDED TO HAVE GOODS MADE IN SMALL FACTORY AT NEW ALBANY, IND. Publishers' Press Washington. Aug. 14. Henry II. Lippart, a jobber of Milwaukee and Chicago, has filed with the acting secretary of war a protest against the awarding by Quartermaster General Humphrey of the contract for furnishing forty thousand blankets for the army to the American Woolen Company. The contract involves about $200,000 and Lippart claims that his bid was lower than that of the American Woolen company by nearly $.",000. Quartermaster General Humphrey this morning received a telegram from Mr. Lippart's attorneys in Chicago demanding the reason for what is termed the "rank injustice" in not awarding the contract, to the lowest bidder. In his reply to this protest General Humphrey declared that Linnart in the first place failed to comply with the specifications contained in the proposals sent out by the quartermasters department in that he does not state when he submitted his bid who would manufacture fhe blankets. General Humphrey furthermore declared that the experience which the war department had previously had with Lippart's contracts was not satisfactory. It is believed at the war department that had Lippart been awarded the contract he would have purchased thp blankets from various small manufacturers in Wisconsin. Illinois and Indiana, and if this was not satisfactory he promised to purchase a mill at New Albany. Ind., and manufacture his own blankets. It is claimed, however, that This mill only has eighteen looms and is not equipped to meet the requirements of the contract. General Humphrey stated today that the dealings in the war department with Lippart had not been sat isfactory and that therefore despite ; the fact that his bid was lower than j the others, it had been decided not to j award him the contract. j Lippart contends that the Ameri- j can Woolen Company is a trust and J that it was because of favoritism this j concern was given the contract. He j declares that he has no complaint j against General Humphrey however. ! but that he j-itends to fight the mat-; ter out with the secretary of war. Wister at Oyster Bay. Oyster Bay, X. Y..

FORMERLY RESIDENT HERE DECEASED WAS SUPERINTENDENT OF MOTIVE POWER AT COLUMBUS. OHIO, SHOPS OF PANHANDLE RAILROAD.

The relatives of Michael Dunn, formerly of this city. received word from Columbus. Ohio, last night, announcing his death. Mr. Dunn has been ill for the past year with complicated kidney and heart trouble but it was not until recently that he was seriously no. At the time of his death he was superintendent of motive power of the Pennsylvania Railriad at Columbus, and Is probably one of the best known mechanics connected with the Pennsylvania railroad system. He was about fl ft y , years old. Mr. Dunn was born and reared in Richmond, and when a young man took a position in the Pennsylvania shops in this city. He rose rapidly and before he left, this city was Master Mechanic. He left here about seven years ago and, went to Cincinnati, where he took a po. rion as general foreman in the Pendleton shops, one of tho largest system of shops connected with the Pennsylvania. He was then promoted to road foreman and served in this position about one year, when he was again promoted to the poslt'on of superintendent of engines. His last promotion in the Cincinnati shops was to Superintendent of motive power. Ha served in this capacity until he was transferred to Dennison, O.. where he took a position of like Importance. He was then transferred to Columbus, O.. where he soon became Supt. of motive power there. The deceased had many friends In this city and durinc his residence here was a member of the city council. He was very popular and his death will be a matter of regret to those who have been carefully following the bulletins from his sick room. IS BOLSTERED ONE Attack Made on Capt. Coney, Candidate for Commander-in-Chief of G. A. R. IS MUCH BITTER FEELING LADIES OF THE G. A. R. ARE ALSO HAVING TROUBLE OVER THE CANDIDACY OF MRS. LOBDELL FOR PRESIDENT. Publishers' Prensl Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 14. Kansas delegates to the national encampment of the G. A. R. are highly indignant at the savage and determined attack that Is being made upon the war record of Captain P. II. Coney, of Topeka, their candidate for commander in chief this year. The attack is in the form of a printed statement which is being circulated among the veterans here and it has Injected a highly unpleasant personal element into the contest for the office and threatens to create no end of bitterness before the encampment is ended. The claim, in brief, is that the army record claimed for Captain Coney by himself and friends is spurious and that while he claims to have been with his regiment, the One Hundred ami Eleventh New York, at the battles of Gettysburg and Spottsylvania, the facts in the case are that he did not enlist until almost nine months after Gettysburg had been fought, and was in the hospital at the time of the Spottsylvania engagement. This charge is, of course, repelled by the friends of Coney, but it may interfere with his campaign for the position of commander-in-chief. Bitter strife has broken out in the ranks of the Minnesota delegation to the national convention of Ladies of the G. A .R., and between gome of the partisans it has reached the nonspeaking as they pass stage, while less strenuous members are trying to smooth the affair over before there is a chance to bring out a test on the floor of the convention Thursday, the point at issue being whether it is fitting for Minnesota, hostess of the convention, to come before the convention with a candidate for the national presidency. A goodly portion of the state delegation holds that Mrs. Julia E. F. Lobdell, is a proper person for the office, while her opponents are arguing vehemently that for her to put forward as a candidate would be to violate . the usages of hospitality.
