V.. July 2. — The home-coming of Congressman James S. Sherman to-night was made lac occasion of such a demonstration as has ran-"' been seen i:. this section of the state. Tie welcome to the Republican candidate for the Vice-Presidency was a non-partisan affair and to £ great extent personal, as the Con- B«aaaian> recovery from his recent somewhat alarm* 13 ? illness gave added reason for a public rejoicing on his safe return. A similar demonstration marked the home ccnsing of Horatio Seymour, a nominee for the Presidency forty years ago. but the city and surrounding .districts have increased many times in population since then, and in point of numbers the outpouring to-night has never been equalled. The city had assumed a carnival air early in the day and for several days various commit tees of citizens irespective of party affiliations lave been busy with the preparations. It was b reception to an honored son and wat given by citizens of the city, assisted by many thou sands from the other cities and towns of Cen tra! New York. The parade -was nearly two miles long, and as gfcennan hone Is less than this distance from the station, and a? the line of march fol lowed a dire, t course, Mr. Sherman at the head of the parade hid reached his home before the last division had fanned in line The course »ion£ Ger.es^e street was illuminated as it had never bf-en before Business block? and munici pal safldfngs were V. orated with myriads of eitctrk lights. Saga, bunting and pictures of Sherman Continuous strings of Japanese lan tern.« or either side of the street marked the BBKSC for a full half mile. Mr Sherman arrived here at 1:18 (.'clock, and the. news a aa signalled all over the city by the booming af cannon, the ringing of bells and the blowing of whlatlea A searchlight was played upon hjs r:"' v a TP car and followed his carriage for a Daaßfderable distance. Mr Sherman alighted from the car without tfsistance and stepped directly to the carriage which awaited him. Drs. Carter, of Cleveland, and Gibson, of this city, rode with him, the members of his family preceding In an automo bile. The candidate appeared paler than usual, but showed not the slightest signs of fatigue and stated that he had had an excellent day. H- ackno-ivledgrec; The enthusiastic greeting which be received with a broad smile, which hardly relaxed until he had reached his home A blaze of red fire and rockets greeted him £l">rcg the entire course, several truckloads having previoufly been distributed. In the parade which followed were four thou- Fan<J men. including large delegations from every organization of men in the city, thirty musical organizations and delegations from half a do«r. cities and forty towns. Arriving 11 his home, the carriage conveying Mr Sherman Brew to one side and the candidate viewed the parade in his honor. It was just forty-five minutes in passing. He was then es corted to a platform, where he was greeted by Mayor Thomas Wheeler, who said v "I wouid be remiss in my duty if I were not ben to-night, because the whole city of Utica is- ban It if to us of Utica a great compliment. £nd our prr-sc-nee here in no way indicates any political significance. The people are here to fhow their appreciation to you of the great honor which you have brought to the city of ftica" John D Kernan and Charles H Searle fol lowed with addresses, after which Mr. Sherman arose and in ■ clear, firm voice said: "Utica never did anything by halves, and she ha? not departed from her well established cus tom.

The villa on Center Island. Oyster Bay, Long Island, owned and occupied for many years by Mrs. Danie! Le Roy Dresser, was sold yesterday by S. Oagood Pel! & Co. to W. J. White. The purchase price was about $300,000. The prop erty is considered in realty circles as "one of the most beautiful and most costly improved properties" in tile north shore region of Long J Island. Before their- marital difficulties. ;i nd particu larly at the time whin Mr Dresser was. one of the most prominent figures in financial centres, Mr. and Mrs. Dresser spent many days at their I Center Island home, where they frequently en tertained many persons prominent In society. Mrs. Dresser had a great fondness for her charming country home, which is surrounded by trees of vigorous growth and situated almost in the centre of a large tract of land laid out in lawn effects. From almost every part of the house a com rr.andin,? view of Long Island Sound may be had. Mr.?. Dresser chose the property as a place for a country b me, and purchased it. so she saij in an affidavit presented last year by her counsel to Justice Blanchard, of the Su preme Court, in whi b she asked for a separa tion from her husband. In that affidavit she also averred that the failure of her husband about fiv-? years ago, principally as a result of his connection w ith the Shipbuilding Trust, had left her practically penniless. She bought the Centre It-land home with a part of the money she inherited from her father. The contract for the sale of the property was signed yesterday by Gordon W. Burnham. Mrs. Dresser Is said to be in South Dakota, where she intends to remain for some time, according to reports. Mrs. Dresser la a daughter of the late Doug lass W. Burnham. She was married to Mr. Dresser on November liO. 1889. at St. Luke's. In IST)?., on the death of her father, she in herited about $300,000.

The signal p"!*» came in contact with the main feed wire, containing eleven thousand volts. which furnishes the power to run the company's electric trains.

SHE VERBAL BETTING LEGAL COURT DEFINES XEW LA W. Aimed Only at Bookmakers and the Pool sellers. Down at the racetrack there was a sigh of satisfaction yesterday when the news was flashed over the wire that Justice Bischoff had decided that verbal belting was legal This was the outcome exfjected by the racing men in the habeas corpus test case of Melville Collins, and with his discharge by the jutsice the vindi cation of "gentlemen's bets" was accepted as assured. Justice Bischoff virtually upheld the contentions of counsel for the Coney Island Jockey Club to the effect that the new anti betting- law was aimed at bookmaking and pool selling and does not apply to the citizen who is willing to hazard something on his judgment. When the decision was handed down yesterday afternoon Police Commissioner Bingham was not at his office, but "Dan" Slattery, his secretary, said that the Commissioner would apply to-day to the Corporation Counsel for advice. Acting District Attorney Elder of Kings County, whu has been in communication with Governor Hughes regarding the new law, said that he could not make any statement until he took the time to go over Justice Bischoff's decision. He intimated, however, that he felt that even under the construction of the court the law would be sufficient to slop professional bookmaking and gambling. Also, he said, if he thought Jt neces sary, he would appeal the case. "When the news reached the racetrack, just before the first race was run. it spread like wiidfire, and inside of ten 1 minutes everybody present seemed to know that a favorable de cision, so far as the making of verbal bets was concerned, had been rendered. While there was more or less rejoicing, there was no change in the general order of things, and the betting was confined, as heretofore, to the man-to-man kind. There was no passinp Of money, so far as could be seen. and. of course, no bets were registered. Charles Bolinger was arrested in the field for a violation of the new statute in aeceptirg money. but otherwise the police and plain clothes men found nothing to do. Schuylei L. Parsons expressed satisfaction ever the decision, but paid that the Coney Island Jockey Club would not countenance anything that approached a violation of the law, and that every effort would be made to see that the new statute was observed to the letter. ' ENDS POLICE CENSORSHIP. It was the general opinion among tho^e who stand high in the councils of the Jockey Club thnt the decision Of the court would relieve the situation materially, if for no other reason than that it would do away with police censorship in making verbal bets. One prominent member of the Jockey Club expressed the opinion that as verbal betting was not a violation of the new statute, those who wished to wager money could find a moan? of doing so, and that under the circumstances the sport could live and perhaps prosper by cutting down stakes and purses. The more optimistic rejoiced openly and said that rm ing would go on indefinitely, while those who had predicted the death of racing in this state took a far more hopeful view of the situa tion than at any time since the passage of the anti-gambling law. George Wheelock, the one-time president of the Metropolitan Turf Association, said that the decision of Just ice Bischoff was a good one for* the poolrooms, but he did not see how it would improve conditions at the track to any extent Another one-time bookmaker took the opposite view and said he did not see how the poolrooms could be henefited if they could not get the in formation from the track, and that under the ruling a system of credit betting could be es tablished In due time by the formation of one or more clubs, following out to some extent the idea of the English method. Justice Bischoff in reviewing the history of the attempts to stop racetrack gambling said: It may be that since the adoption of the con stitution of 1894. declaring the popular will that every form of gambling be unlawful, the Legis lature- should properly proceed to make the simplest bet or hazard a crime, but whatever the devised policy, it may be said that that body has not yet done so, and. Indeed, when legislation was proposed at the last session In the form of an amendment of th« racing law (Chapter 570, Laws of 1895), directly prohibit ing Individual bets upon the result of a horse race, and punishing a violation by Imprisonment, the proposed amendment did not become a law. Because the provisions of Section 351 of the penal Cod* do not, in their import vrol-.il.it the jict tt itli which this relator (a charged, according t-i the views expressed In this memorandum, and there being no charge ««f a violation of any other of tin penal statutes, he Is entitled to be discharged from custody. LEGISLATURE'S INTENTION. The court then took up the facts in the case Of Collins and his $5 bet on Hotspur. "In this proceeding," said Justice Bischoff. "I am to determine whether the successful bettor's receipt of the money or thins wagered :r made a crime by the section referred to." After sstting forth the statute in full, the justice said. The particular words pointed to by the Dis trl t Attorney us applicable to the present case arr- "or Jinv person who receives, registers, re cords or forward*, or purports or pretends to re ceive register, record or forward. In any manner whatsoever, any money, thing or consideration of value, bet or wagered, by or for any other person, or sells book upon any such result,'" and I • Mil, :r<] on flflh B«g« GREAT BEAR SPRING WATER, "Its purity ha* mad* It Xamoiui."— Advfc IAX'S HOMECOMING.

Ralph 1,. Kilby. Mr. Hapgood's secretary, was al&o arrested under the same charge by the same complainants, it being charged that the two prisoners acted in concert in getting that amount by trickery and device in March, 1907. Late last night application was made in the night court for their release on bail, but the man who appeared before Magistrate Kernochan in their behalf, though saying that he was will ing to go to the extent of $.">.< n m). beat a hasty retreat when the magistrate fixed the amount at |20,000 bail. The arrest was made in the office of the Hap good concern so quietly that not even the fifty stenographers and twenty-five bookkeepers knew that their employers had been taken into custody. All the books of the Hapgoods com panies, which Includes Hapgoods (Incorporated) and the Hapgoods Sales Company, were taken to Police Headquarters by the detectives. Mr. Hapgood gave his address as No 4.".1 Riverside Drive, and said he was a "brain broker." Kilby gave the same address as his employer. The chief complainant. William J. Witte. Of Roslyn. Long Island, said "he was tricked out of 112,500; which, he said, he In vested in the Kapgood enterprises— slo,ooo in the Hapgoods Sales Company and $2,500 in Hapsgoods Incorporated. Tfeese investments, he said, he made upon representations made to him by Mr. Hapgood. who. he said, was an old college classmate. Charles G.

Hap good told him, Witte charges, that the Hapgood Sales Company was going to handle other specialties and had patents and options on va rious articles to the extent of $100,000 Hapgood. said Witte, alleged that he was going to Europe soon to prepare the way for a Euro pean invasion with the new razor, and urged him to invest quickly. As a part of the agree ment. Witte says, he had a place as superin tendent of the Hapgoods Sales Company, at a weekly salary of $50 and commissions. After working for some months under his agreement. Witte says, he learr.ed that the com pany was not manufacturing t',.e razors, but was simply ECting as a selling agent, .vio thereupon he regis-.ereu a complaint with his 'riend.

For this he received the magazine called "Hap good's Opportunities." but. not getting a job through that medium, he came to New York. where he became acquainted with Hapgood. Under the same representations as were made to Witte. he says, he invested $12,000. and was made treasurer of Hapgoods Sales Company, at a salary of $:><> a week and commission. I ater he said, he was made vice-president, and was sent to Europe to take charge of the Euro pean sales of the razor. He heard the same thing about the company which Witte said he learned and. came back to New York and de manded to be bought out of the concern His demand was refused.

Calls Cleveland Resolution Act of "Hypocrites" and "Ghouls." Louisville, July 2. — Commenting to-day on the report ,rom New York last night that ex-Judge Alton B. Parker had been selected to present a resolution at the Denver convention on th«? death of Graver Cleveland. Colonel Henry Wat terson said: , The attempt to drag the dead body of Grove* Cleveland from its new made grave int. the tumult of a national convention will deceive no one. An invasion of the grief of the noble lady who weeps amid the silence and the solitude of the granite hills, a blow at party concord, it is the act of shameless hypocrites. Nor was ever a professional ghoul inspired by a more mercenary spirit, because the sole aim and end of the Murphy-Conners crowd, aided by Judge Parker, is the perpetuation of the ascendancy of the Belmont-Ryan combination, to which Democracy owes its last ignominious and well deserved e'efeat. It was Belmont-Ryan money that financed Judge Parker's campaign for the nomination in 1904. It was Belmont-Ryan money that nominated him; and it was the Belmont-Ryan tag that made an anti-trust gov ernment under such a brand absurd and im possible. It seemed fitting that, having made sacrifices for predatory wealth. Judge Parker should have his recompense in a rich law practice in the city of Now York. He has had it, and with it he should rest well content. That he should emerge !rom this highly paid obscurity to make trouble through sheer malevolence were piti able, indeed; but that he should appear, backed by money of the trust magnates and traction thieves, appealing to Jefferson and Tilden. the dead body of Cleveland stretched upon the dis secting table, is disgraceful. It is not only disgraceful, but its motive is grotesquely and transparently obvious. The wing of the Democratic party in the State of New York to which Judge Parker and the group with which he is now acting belonged was the David Bennett Hill wing. , They were the in veterate, the implacable enemies of Grover Cleveland. They hated him. and he hated them. Although, amid the gloom of defeat, a kind of truce was reached, there was never a real amnesty or oblivion on either side, so that the scheme* to recall the shade of Cleveland and to set this up as a death's head in the comedy of a mock luneral would be too dastardly and too ghastly for belief if it were not the last des perate play of a clique of discredited politicians, seeking to rule or ruin at any cost. Standing about the open grave of Mr. Cleve land, those of us who knew him but did not always a] prove him or agree with him were not only willing that bygones be bygones, but that the good alone should live after him. He Is dead. He sleeps with those that went before, from Jefferson to Tilden, and history' ran be trusted to do him no injustice. Resurrected at Princeton and proclaimed at Denver, his name spells firebrand and only firebrand, and fire brand is the sole initiative and purpose of the bodysnatehere who purpose to use it to conjure dissension while they try to corrupt delegates. In Mr. Bryan and a reunited party Demo crats saw hope of victory. ' m none other was there th-> smallest hope of union. That they reason truly has beer, shown by the fifel that, with the Ryan-Relmont "barret" on tap and its agents flying about in every direction, state after state, refusing to be tampered with, or tainted, has declared for the Nebraskan. Seeing •his. Judge Parker is put forward to deliver the final strike of the bravo, and. under the pre tence of honoring the memory of Cleveland, to plunge a blade, reeking with poison, artfully prepared, into the heart of Democracy. That be should lend himself to such a villany will engulf him in the scorn of honorable men and the detestation of the thoughtful Democrats here is no more reason why a Democratic National Convention should go out of its way to signalize one former Democratic President than another, why it should rush upon Cleveland with a frenzy of words thin, with a hysterical shriek. it should rush upon Buchanan: each. Buchanan and Cleveland, having had the misfortune to divide th.? party. The spectacle in the case of Mr. Buchanan would lack common sense. In the case of Cleveland. it lacks both common sense and common decency. As well dig up the will of Mr. Tilden. which Judge Parker decided against the instructions and wishes of the Sage of Greystone. and make it the subject of eulogy, for the sake of controversy. As well invoke the spirits of the warring Democrats of ISM and seek to force the Douglas men to pay tribute to the Breckinridge men. Under any condition and from any quarter th*> proposal to revitalize old quarrels by preamble and resolution on the threshold of a national movement would be thrown out as insane Coming from Conners | and Murphy, from B*lrrnnt and Ryan, from Parker .-.nd Sheehan. it will be thrown out as infamous. » They may defeat us. but they cannot de- < bauch us.

July 2.— Charging IMM ' Vt.- kers resolution of tribute te the BMSB I Grover Cleveland :s a clever move on tt of the enemies of William J B :ifu.-*> factional feeling into the Democrat Convention, friends of the Nebrask»a determined to offer a resolution ,>r a dsfl designed not to raise eontrover;;ial p<-<li:iial is sues. Through control of th»- temporary or ganization of the 1 .-(invention, the Bryan follow ing expects to have its resolution brought to th» attention of the delegates immediately after the speech of the laniinrary cMrinaan !.as been de livered. In that event the Parker resolution would have to be offered as a substitute, if submitted at all. and the Bryan men declare that the New York delegation would thereby be placed in the, attitude of attempting, under the guise of eulogizing a great party iead.-r. t> create strife and dissension and to make har mony impossible. All Democrats, without regard to factional affiliations, applaud the suggestion coming from New York, that the national convention should take the first opportunity of honoring the mem ory of Mr. Cleveland, but most of those who have expressed themselves on the subject are of . the opinion that the resolution adopted should not contain anything over which ther* could ba the slightest difference of opinion. The Sew York resolution, which was made public last night, is denounced • by such Bryan leaders as Mayor James C. Dahlman, of Omaha, and Judge N. E. Wade, of lowa, the member of the na tional committee from that state. They de clare that its adoption would be a direct slap at Bryan, and insist that in giving it out for publication ' the New York delegation Intended to disparage me Nebraskan. The ; portions of the resolution which particularly aroused the ire of the friends of Mr. Brian relate to Mr. Cleveland's record in maintaining the integrity of the courts and finance, the paragraphs being as follows. He respected the integrity of our courts, and so Insisted upon strict enforcement of ib> law that every honest man or interest might be pro tected, and all offenders punished, without fear or favor. He maintained the public credit and honor, stood firm as a rock in defence of sound princi ples of finance, and resisted the dangerous eco nomic doctrines and practices left by the Re publican party as a heritage to our people. CONSIDERED ATTACK OX BRYAN. It was said to-day by Mayor Dahirr.an that these expressions are thinly veiled attacks a Mr. Bryan, on his well known attitude on th* question of adopting an anti-injunction plank. and his position in ISOG and 1900 on the money question. "These questions have no proper place.*" said Mr. Dahiman. ' "in resolutions in tended only to honor the name of the late Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Bryan's personal tribute to the memory of the late ex-President was of a char acter proving that no man honored Mr Cleve land more, or would go further in giving hiia credit for advancing the interests of the Demo cratic party. It is true that Mr. Bryan and Mr. Cleveland had different view% on many ques tions of party policy, and. with the rare tact which he always exhibits. Mr. Bryan refrained from any allusions that might provoke strife in the party. It is my opinion that the Democratic National Convention, in adjourning- out of re spect to Mr. Cleveland's memory, should follow Mr. Bryan's example." Steps were at once taken by members of tha committee on convention arrangements to hea.i off the introduction of the Parker resolution In the convention. They were unanimously of the opinion that it would provoke discussion and possibly a tight, which they desired to avoid. Several members of the committee who do not care to be publicly quoted did not fcesitate to say. however, that in their opinion an argument in the convention over such a resolution as thin would be disgraceful and injure the party in the eyes of the country. It was therefore determined to take imme diate steps to ward off- any such possibility, and at the instance of Roger C. Sullivan, of Illinois, it was decided to prepare a resolution which, while honoring the memory of Mr. Cleveland, would offer no opportunity for acrimonious --- putes in the convention. PLAN* to head off PARKER. The Bryan people, having possession of th» temporary organization, decided that the Cleve land resolution shall be presented t» the con vention by a man who will be recognized by- Temporary Chairman Bell, immediately after his speech. If Mr. Parker stil! desires to hrin^ his resolution b*for<» the convention, it must be offered «.<« a «t;bstitute for the one which will be presented by the Bryan people. R. M.

A less serious view was taken of th* Parker resolution by Francis A. Day. secretary to Gov ernor Johnson and one of the managers of his campaign. >'.r. Day maid: "I certainly think that ihe convention should adopt a resohition in honor of Mr. Cleveland, and the one prepared by Judge Park a r seem 3tometo be entirely proper and to fIU the bill completely." At the Gray headquarters Josiah Marvel said that Mr. Cleveland was a world character and that to his memory the highest possible tribute should be paid. He had not read the Parker resolution, and he said that the wisdom of adopting it had not been called to Ma attention. After reading the resolution with care. Mr, Mar vel said he thought it open to criticism and that a resolution which did not take up issues over which dwte had been m was likely to be bitter ness would answer the purpose far better and be eminently more Just to the record of Mr. Cleveland. More emphatic than all these men was Judge Wade, of lowa. Hi said that every proposition in the Cleveland resolution which might give ri»« to controversy should be "pulled out by the r00t3." Continuing, he said: "It the friends and. the enemies of Mr. Bryan threaten to dispute over this question, then th» friends of Mr. Cleveland will insist that there shall be no party quarrels in paying to hta FULL SUMMER SCHEDULE Sandy Hook Rout* now in effect.
