M. and Pre-Warl "Kick" Restored in England LONDON, Aug. 3 i By The Associated ' Press), The new licensing bill, which finally passed the House of Common? to-day after an all-night sitting an.l .va- sent to the House of Lords, where! it is not likely to he amended further. removes many restrictions imposed by the defense of the realm act during the war and partly restores pre-war facili? ties for retailing liquor. The new law is expected to go into effect in Sep? tember. One important concession which th" bill makes to London night life is that supper drinks may be ordered with food up to midnight in hotels and restau? rants and up to 11:30 p. in. in licensed saloons and clubs, instead of 10 p. m.. as heretofore. The bill also permits distillers to revert to the pre-war alco? holic strength of their beverages. The bill enables a man to purchase liquor at any time in a hotel where he is residing. The new government bill has killed the liquor popular control bill recently introduced by the Bishop of London, which proposed to establish the prin? ciple of local option and to make the people decide by a poll whether no change, state purchase, or abolition of "licenses was desired. The Bishops,' bill, of which Lord Astor was one of the principal backers, was negatived in the House of Lords on the second read? ing. Lord Birkenhead,the Lord Chancel? lor, attacked it. "That sobriety svhich depends upon compulsion," he ex? claimed, "has no value at all. It is tyranny, and is always resented as tyranny." Swann Scores Drv Agents' Methods in Letter to Jneige Advises Magistrate to Place Charge Against Officer Who Makes Raid for Liquor Without Warrant District. Attorney Edward Swann yes? terday, in n letter to Chief City Magis? trate William McAdoo, scored the methods of police liquor enforcement agents who search homos and baggage of citizens without proper warrant. The letter reads: "Protests have been made to the Dis? trict Attorney that individual members of the police force, in the course of their efforts to locate violations of the Mullan-Gage Act, have trespassed up? on th* rights of innocent citizens by forcibly opening traveling bags being carried by the owners, and in some instances by forcin"; the outer door of premises to obtain admission without a search warrant. "When a clear case of this kind Ap? pears from the evidence, before the City Mari-trate, it. would advance the cause of justice if the City Magistrate would direct that a charge bo made then and there against the ofiicer who has ^o violated the law. A resort to lawlessness in the enforcement of the law is not justified and should be dis co . raged." (,i.nrj,'c Peterson, who says he is a service man and a student of : ie vocational school at Spring and Variek streets. ?Manhattan, appointed himself an enforcement agent yester? day and came to grief. He went to the Greenpoint polite station and told the police he would take them to sev? eral places where intoxicants were b? ing sold. "Greenpoint is full of whisky," he said. A policeman accompanied him to Greenpoint. There Peterson purchased liquor and the policeman made the ar? rests. Peterson had his pockets full of samples when he came into the Bridge Plaza court with the policeman to testify against the prisoners. When Magistrate Louis Reynolds learned Peterson was not a regularly constituted officer of the law he had him arrested for having the samples of evidence, the specific charge being "possession of one pint bottle of whisky.1' The police succeeded in get? ting Peterson released, but the volun? teer hootch detective is said to have los' his ambition to be an enforcement agent without pay. With the exception of one, all of the men arrested with the help of Peterson were discharged by the court. Federal Enforcement Agent Isadore Einstein's squad yesterday brought six alleged offenders before United States Commissioner Samuel M. Hitchcock. Each of the accused was held in $1,000 .' a . Summonses were issued for six teen bartenders by the court. One hun? dred quarts of whisky were seized with an automobile on the Statcn Island Ferry by Patrolman John Crosson, Tot tenville district. Three men in charge of the car were arrested. One was charged with carrying a revolver. -.?. Harding Pushes Rail Bill Senators Asked to Speed Cash Advance Measure / rom Th.

Murphy Seeks to Prevent Wallis Opposing Hylan Will Offer Nomination for Aldermanic Presidency or County Office; Fear Expo? sure of Mayor's Weakness Charles F. Murphy and his district leaders, in order to keen Frederick A. Wallis, Immigration Commissioner, from running in the primaries against - Mayor Hylan, have decided t-> offer hi'ii a nomination either for President of the Board of Aldermen or for some : county office possibly County Clerk. Word reached Tammany Hall yestcr- j day that Commissioner Wallis, who is i politically ambitious, is going to enter the Democratic primarles as a candi- '? date for Mayor. While there would be little chance of his winning, the size of his vote against Hylan would dis- : close the weakness of Hylan among the rank and file of the organization, ; and this would damage the entire Tam? many city ticket. Hence the plan t-.i - get VVi His out of the way. Mr. Murphy really wants Henry Smith, Deputy Comptroller, for Presi? dent of the Board of Aldermen, so that. | if Hylan should be removed from office ., by a Republican Governor, Tammany would feel secure with Mr. Smith in the Mayor's chair. The information seeped out of the' Wigwam last night that Commissioner j Wallis, Crover A. W?ialen and Murray Hulbcrt, Dock Commissioner, as well as ! Deputy Comptroller Smith, are on the tentative slate for President of the Board of Aldermen. Alderman William T. Collins, leader of the Tammany majority in the board, is leading in Jhe race for the nomina? tion for President of the Borough of i Manhattan. It was announced in Tammany Hall last night that there will bo no meeting of the executive committee, and there- . fere no slate, until Monday next, at which time all of the city, county and ! borough nominations will be made 1 known. Borough President Maurice H. Con- : i oily of Queens will be a candidate for reelection to his present position. This j was the information given out at his office in the Borough Hall in Long isl? and City yesterday. At a meeting of the Queens County Democratic Com? mute, held in Flushing on Tuesday nicht, a resolution was passed di? recting the appointment of a commit? tee to request him to be a candidate for the third time. This committee will meet Mr, Connolly at the Borough Hall this morning. He will then make known his determination to run again.; Seized Liquor Given Hospital Is Found Unfit for Lise; GOSHEN, N.

American Radiator Company Dept, B, 104 Woet 42nd Street Telephone: Bryant 3651 Gilroy Named By Fusion for Third Place (r.on'.lrt'u'.d from p?an one) Republicans to be sure and see to it that our votes are cast for the d?sign?es chosen by this anti-Tammany confer? ence, The other organizations cooper? ating in this movement also must fully ' realize that we must work unceasingly : if we are to carry t:iroug:i our work in the primaries and afterward win in the general election. The result of the primaries must be decisive. "We have been criticized in the last ? two or three weeks for alie-red acri- '. monious discussion. That ?.s due in' large part to the strong probability: that we stand to elect the entire fusion i ticket. Messrs. Curran and Lockwood are seasoned campaigners and they are confident of success. It is very signifi cant that Gilroy, Curran and Lockwood have been developed as candidates by these conferences in the last three weeks. We learned to have a tremend- ; ous respect for Curran and Lockwood '' because we discovered that either was willing to serve in second place for the ' common good. Now that wo have j named a lirst class ticket, we want to plead with the independent groups to do their utmost in the primaries. "It may be that the woman vote will , be the deciding factor in the campaign. . I believe that the character and ability ? of the men chosen for the city ticket will commend the ticket to the confi? dence of the women of the City of New York. Let us all leave this conference to-day with the conviction that the real work of the campaign is only just begun." Platform to Suit D?sign?es Mr. Ilillos, in answer to an inquiry, said that Chairman Taft vus vested: with authority to appoint seven mem- ' bei s of the platform committee. Mr,! Taft is out of town. It is understood j that the platform will be made to con- j form to the public records and govern- j mental ideas of Messrs. Curran, Lock- j wood and Gilroy. The coalitionists i turned in a platform containing many attractive features, but there were planks which the Republicans will not : accept, and these cither will be greatly ! modified or dropped altogether. Major i Curran has made it clear to the leaders j that unless the platform conforms to j what he stands for, and has been stand- j ing for in municipal affairs, he will re- I ject it, direct the attention of voters j io his record, and let it go at that. When County President Koenig was! asked about the possibility of either '? William M. Bennett or F. II. La Guar? dia naming a straight Republican pri- , mary candidate in opposition to Mr. j Gilroy he said : "It will not avail them. The voter? of this city know the difference be? tween a ticket backed by the Republi? cans and anti-Tammany forces and a ticket promulgated bv mere opportu? nists in polities, and they will vote; accordingly. The ticket offered the Re- ? publican electors of this city is strong1 und fit and selected with such regard ' for the attainment of good government! that it will sweep the primaries and; win in November." With the city ticket disposed of, the Republican leaders to-day in all the boroughs will get busy on the forma- : tion of slates for county and borough \ offices. For President of the Borough of Manhattan the names most discussed are Ernest F. Eilert, Republican, a for? mel' member of the Board of Education, and president of the Printers' Associa? tion, and Clarence F, Fay, Commission? er of Public Works in the office of Bor? ough President Curran. Miss Helen Varick Boswell may be : chosen as the Republican candidate for ; Registrar of New York County. Colonel Sydney Grant, of the 13th' Heavy Artillery; Sheriff John Drescher^ and George W. Baker, a manufacturer,* are talked of for President of the Bor? ough of Brooklyn. In the Bronx the Republicans are likely to nominate Harold C. Knoeppel for District Attorney. Senator John V". Sheridan also is discussed for this office. John Nichols seems to be the leading candidate for the Republican nomination for Sheriff. Mrs. D. Apple ton Palmer, organizer of the Women's Suffrage party in the Bronx, is talked of for County Registrar. For President of Bronx Borough, Will am T. Mil lard. Republican, and Thomas F. Gil lerman are under discussion. Former Borough President George Cromwell is likely to be Mini i '?? r President of the Borough jf Richmond, For District Attorney of New York County the names under discussion in? clude those of John Kirklan 1 Clark, former Assistant Distiic? Attorney; former City Magistrate Fmil Fuchs. Henry W. Goddard and Municipal Court Justice John R. Dime. -?
