New York, Sept. 13. After Cotiev
Island had been ruunlng wido opnn
all siunmer, wlth crimc, imuiorallty
and gatubling iu full swing and, ap
parently uuder the protection of the
polici', the acting Mayor ot New York,
belng in control of clty aft'airs tluring
the absence of Mayor CSaynor, "dls
coverod" the appalling stato of nffalrs
at that famotis beach resor and ord
ered the lld clampcd down good and
liard. In vlew of the fact that thls
order canie wheu the seasoti at Coney
is practleally closed, lt has caused
some aniuseiucnt aiuong the citizens.
Condltlons tn Coney Island have al
waya boen fairly ibad, conslderably
more ao thau at other beach rcsortu
along the Atlantic coast, hut if the
stntemeuts of numerous lnvestigators
and a large nuinber of vlctinis eau be
credited, the statu of things durlng
the sununcr Just ended, was worse
tllan ever bcfore. There were more
dlvos, more crooksaud thuga and more
lewd women in Coney this sununrr
than ever liefore and it soms that all
of tbeiu did a thriving buslness. All
through (he summer complalnts trom
vlctinis who bad been robbed at
Coney camo pouring ln at polico head
nuartera, hut notliing was dono in
abatement. Not until after the season
was closed dlil the anthorities "high
er up'' discover that the lid was wlde
open and that It was necessary to put
a stop to the actlvity of the crlnilnal
element in that popular resort. Act
ing Mayor ailtchell did not order the
polico to make an Investigation, bnt
sent out n nuinber of clty employes
for that purpose. The result was a
thorough shaku-up in the polico do
partmont whlch is responslble for the
lawlessuoss at Coney,

The closlng ot the 4epots establtsh
rd by Nathan Straus in this city, for
the salo and distribution of pasteur
ized inilk for the use of infants ls a
great blow to thotisands of poor fam
illes in the ovorcrowded teiiement
dlstrlets of Mnnhattan and Brooklyn.
When theso mllk depots were estab
lished a few years ago. Mr. Straus was
acclaimed as a bonefactor of th
loor, espcclally of .the bables of the
poor. The mllk was sold at, a nominal
prico and was given away to thoso
who had not the muans to pay for it.
The mllk trust and all assertlons to
the contrary notwlthstandlng, there is
really nuch a trust kIIiI not approve
of Miv-Strnus'a cliarily, because it eii
abled the poor to obtaln good mllk Tor
little or notliiiig Instead of belng com
pelled to pay an exorbilant prlce for
poor mllk to the trust. Uy a pecullar
colncldeiice a fovv dootors made the
discovery that pasteurlzed mllk was
lnjurlous to Infants at least they
sald that sueh is the case. Baeked by
tho trust an agltatlon against pas
teuris'.ed mllk was started whicli be
came so strong, that Mr. Straus de
cldrd to oloso hls mllk depots. It is
expected that this Htep wlll lead to a
tremendoiiB Increase Iu the mortality
of infants ln the teiinment dlstricts,
but that wlll not worry the mllk trust

tcnded to comniit sulcide and that hor
hiishand was ln no way to blame for
her act. An investigation was made
whicli established the fact that the
signer of the letter and her hua
band had salled the day beforo on a
steamer bound for Germany. Relatlve3
of the women were conimuuicated
wlth and as 'they are wealthy they
comniunlcated with the purser of the

by wireless came from tho purser,
stating that the wonian ln ciuestiou,
according to her own statement, had
wrltten the letter as a joke and some
"unknown party" had mailed lt "by
mistake." What a grewsome brand of
a joke.

The carelessness of wealthy per
sous wlth their Jewelry is sometimcs
beyoud belief and it is not snrprlsing
that so many of them lose thelr gems,
especlally when travellng. What is
even more surprising, is the unde
served and really phenomenal luck of
these persons, whose lost treasures
are in most cases recovered in some
way. The other day two wealthy
women lost a bag wlth jewels valued
at several thousand dollars wjiile rld-
Ing around in a cab at Asbury Park.
When they dlscovered thelr loss they
made a search for the cab and located
lt. On the tloor of the cab was found
the bag, dlrty from the muddy feet

The conimon councll of Yonkers, by
a vote of S to 1, adopted an ordinance
the other day, whlch establlshes tho
curfew in Y'onkers and compels all
chlldron nnder the age of sixteen
years to leave the streets by ten
o'clock every nlght. The ordinance
places the respo'nsiblllty upon tho
parents and makes all boys and glrls
who vlolato it subject to arrest. Tho
only member who spoko and voted
against the ordinance was the oldest
member of the conncil and fathor of
a large famlly. Such an ordlnanco
would undonbtedly he a boon to New

"Other membors of the cominlttec

"Tho mlnorlty refused even to take

"These flve gentlemen contlnued

or even read in commlttee, they
gave lt to the newspapers, although
the law requlred lt to be renderej

"The report of the committee can
not be made until December 5th. when

called for September 5th, was for tlvj
purpose of considerlng and dlscuss

"The pretended adoptlon of a report
