Immediately decided to obtain another

cltlten. was seeking the Injunction the
Borough President started to talk against

Mr. Van Name was going along very
nicely when Comptroller Prendergast
real ted that the Rlchmona uorougn
President was becoming diffuse In his
argument and suspected his purpose. lie
accordingly protested against further de-
lav and asked that a vote be taken
The Mayor agreed to let Mr. Van Name
have about a half hour more. Tne coinp
troller again protested after the argu
ment had proceeded for nearly tne
allotted time and a vote was taken. Only
Mr. Van Name and Borough President
Marks voted nsalnst the resolution.
Borough President Mathewson of The
Bronx, who sympathised with tho posi
tion taksn by Mr. Van Name, having
had the same fight a few weeks ago
against tho location of the plant on
Rlker s Island, then asked for a recon
sideration of the vote, urging that the
Btaten Islanders ought to have every
chance to keep the plant out ot their
borough. Just as the Mayor was about
to put the question of reconsidering
Mr. Brown rushed In with an injunc
tlon. which he had obtained from 8u
preme Court Justice Weeks. The Mayor
held that the nlunction very effectually
restrained the board from reconsidering
Its vote and the resolution accordingly
stood as passed.
Notice of the board's action was given
to Street Cleaning Commissioner Ksth

afternoon he signed a contract with nut nuisance.

Rorousrh President Van Name snoke
Indignantly last night? of the signing of
the contract. He said that no matter
what action might be taken by the city
authorities he knew that the people of
staten island were oetrrminert not to
let any such plant be built In Richmond.
He recalled that In 1873, when a cholera
epidemic was threatened at the Quaran
tine station nt Tompklnsvllle and pro
tests were unavailing the people took
matters Into their own hands and burned
the station.
Btaten Islanders have .retained Louis

decision yesterday of Supreme Court
Justlro Callaghan, vacating two tax
payers' injunctions restraining the city
from taking any action on the proposed
contracts.
The biggest nail In Richmond, the
German Club rooms, has been hired for
a great mass meeting on Friday night to
protest against the action of the city
administration.
Mr. Van Name at his home last night
expressed belief that In the qyent that
protest ana appeal rauea tne people
would take matters Into their own hands
to prevent the erection of a disposal
plant on Htaten Island. They believe,
he said, that Mayor Mltchel broke faith
with them In falling to clve them a

Ammkt. April to. Whoever picked
out the 200 young school teachers to
come to Albany to, refute statements
made last week that only the old and
forlorn, tho ready to retire anyway
crowd of teachers, wanted pensions, per
formed a good Job in the estimation ot
the legislators who were made their
tare-ets of attack again to-night.
Miss Grace (!. Strachan. In charge of
the teacher of New York city urging
the nassas-e of the Lockwood-Ellenbogen
bill to pension the teachers, felt keenly
the criticism that none or tne young
teachers wanted the bill. Consequently
tho advocates of the measure sent a sig
nal around to the New York schools to
day to release ZOO of the youngest and
best looking teachers favoring the bill
In time to let thorn got the 4 P. M. train
to Albany.
The result waa that the best looking
crowd of young women to visit legisla
tive halls In some time flocked to the
Capitol early to-night and the work of
"buttonholing" Senators and Assembly
men began before the sesston In either
house started. The work waa easy. In
fuct some of the legislators Insisted upon
being Interviewed and It was reported
that the campaign along the new lines
was highly successful.
Conversions, the leaclters aaia, were ,
numerous. Legislators not concerned
about the Mil last week Insisted upon
hearing it discussed In alt Its essentials.
The opponents were alio represented by
a youncer set of teachers as well, aud
all hands looked so well that It was
aereeable to Senators to hear both sides
of the pensloni dispute with greater
patience than ever before.
Miss Strachan. Miss Olive M. Jones,
Miss Gratia Goiter. Mrs. A. W. Hath
rone. William J. McAulllffe and James
F. Hmlth were handling the proponents,
side of It. while William H. Hendrle.
Miss Mary E. Nash and Miss Porrlott
were leading the opposition forces. There
was no reason for the teachers to come
to Albany other than, as or.e of the
younger set put it. "to show the legls
lators that we arc not all "old hens.' "
They denied that they ran away from
school to come up to-day. They simply
nu nu ihelr own time and went b.ick
at midnight. Friends of the bill de
clare there Is no doubt of Its postage.

Prospects became poorer yesterday for
the State of Yucatan ever getting much
of the 1472,305 that Gen. Abel Ortlt
Argumedo, self-constituted Oovernor of
the Btate, brought with him to New York
about a year ago, when the Carranxa
forces got too close for comfort. A
sheriffs Jury decided that two American
engineers are entitled to more of the
money brought here by Argumedo than
the sheriff has been able to find.
The Yucatan Government recovered
Judgment for 1472,305 a month ago, at
wnicn time It became known that uen.
Argumedo had vanished. One safe de
posit box which he used in the vaults
of the Woolworth Building Safe Deposit
Company had not been emptied or its
contents when Argumedo left because It
was sealed by a court order.
vvnen Deputy Sherltr sinnott expiorea
the box with the execution Issued on
the Yucatan judgment he found It
stuffed with Mexican peso bills, but the
total value in American money was not
more than 190,000.
The claim against the money was
made yesterday In the Sheriff's office In
behair or Thomas If. Nicholas nnd oust
O. I.adner, who In affidavits stated that
they reached Yucatan on the way to
this country Just us Argumedo was'plan-
nlng to leave there last March. They
believed It unsafe to travel with much
money and as Argumedo was going
away with on aimed guard they en
trusted their money to hlin. Uulners
claim Is for $46,000 In cash and $20,000
damages for withholding his property.
while Nicholas claims $23,000 and
$10,000.
I.adner and Nicholas said that when
they arrived hero and asked Argumedo
for the money he- told them It was Ii
safe deposit vault, but for "reasons of
state" he couldn't turn It over.
Counsel for the State of Yucatan did
not oppose the proceeding, and the
sheriff's Jury returned a verdict for the
run amounts claimed. Felix warourg
of Kuhr Locb & Co. was one of the
Jurymen.
Unless the State of Yucatan now puts
up a bond to protect the Sheriff for the
amount claimed he will have to turn over
the money to the engineers.

"Stop off at Baltimore and make your calls there.
Then go on to Washington, and attend to those
Government orders. Next, go to Pittsburgh and

'pep' all the trip, for you'll travel as we like our
men to do on the very ?est trams that are run
anywhere, over the finest track and road-bed, and
in the very latest models of Pullman sleepers. In
cidentally, you'll save the house some money by
using this stop-over through ticket.
"Telephone the Baltimore & Ohio ticket office,
Madison Square 3626, and they will fix you up
properly. There are four all-steel through trains
out of New York for Chicago every day. Leave
Liberty Street 8.15 a. m., 2.00 p. m., 6.00 p. m.; 10
minutes earlier from 23d Street. Night train leaves
23d Street at 11.50 p.m., and Liberty Street at

When novelist ss famous as Arnold Bennett and Sir Gilbert

And when the medical profession his placed its seal of
