"He went out on a cab himself and we do not know where he had to drive. We are absolutely tied The strike is being felt moet about the hotels and clubs. which have contracts with the stables. Private calls received at the stables are all refused. The strike is directed at ten of the largest stables.

"Several of the outside owners have acceded 10 our demands and they are running as usnal. We have exhausted our efforts to get a fair deal from the association and now we are going to fight it out." William Seaich, owner of the Opera Stables, who has contracts to supply ten big hotels. including the Waldorf- Astoria and the Holland House, said: "My business is shut down.

We are doing nothing. In fact. we are glad of it, as we hare been losing money for four months. I estimate that, as cOIn pared with the receipts of last year, the livery stable keepers of New York will lose at least $40.000 a day as long as the strike lasts. Yet I am glad to shut up.

The union threatens to call out the funeral drivers if they are not successful in a short time. The men asked for an increase from $15 to $17.50 per week and a ten-bour day instead of a twelve-hour day. The employers made a counter proposition to renew the contracts at $14 a week, a decrease of $1 and the same hours. TRIED TO KILL HIS RIVAL. JAMESTOWN.

who has asked the Board of Estimate for $2,168,304 with which to carry on the work on the new Manhattan Bridge, particularly the approaches. is trying to have the bridge entirely completed in two years from the end of this month. The Board of Estimate's policy of economy. under which all past authorizations of improvements muct be re-passed, should not delay the bridge. said Mr.

Stevenson to-day. The Commissioner made a statement showing how the various parts of the work must be pushed to assure completion in two years. "The contract for approaches of the Manhattan Bridge involves a great then deal of difficult and tedious work," said the Commissioner, "all of which must be done in order thar the approaches may be ready by the time the construetion of the main and land spans of the bridge are finished or before Dec. 31, 1909. "The time for the completion of the approaches is fixed as Sept.

1. 1909, and this is based on allowing the contractor twenty months after the date of commencement of the work in which to do the work. "The experience with the Williamsburg Bridge approaches shows that the time allowed for this work is none too great. The approaches involved on that bridge involred about the same quantity of steel, about half as much excavation, and about half as much masonry: the a contract was awarded in the fall of 1900 and its completion delayed the opening BORDEN'S PURE MILK 9 Cents Per Quart Fifty Years in One Line of Business studying, that, business means that such a busidess must grow.

ORDINANCE NOT READY. It May Be Signed Later in the Day by the Committee of Aldermen.

When the Board of Aldermen met this afternoon the Committee on Laws and Legislation was not prepared to report its modified ordinance permitting sacred concerts on Sunday, which was agreed upon by the committee at a meeting resrday afternoon. Alderman Sturges, chairman of the committee, said he pected the report would be signed by the committee during the course of the meet and that it would be reported. The amendment to Alderman Doulle's ordinance, introduced last Tuesday, replaces the words "other entertainments of the stage" prohibited by the charter, which Mr. Doull had omitted, and further specifiles that entertainments to be permitted on Sunday must be "wholly sacred." Alderman Doull is expected to oppose the amendment. STEAMSHIP ARRIVALS.

The resopndent says that when the writ was served upon him the etatement was made 'Here is the writ of habeas corpus for this and when he asked who made the changes that Mr. Baldwin said 'he knew nothing about He denies that he threw the papers down upon the desk, denies that Mr. Baldwin pointed eut the prisoner and said This is Frank Jenkins, the man you are to but testifice after Mr. that Baldwin said be knew nothing about the changes in the writ, he turned and went out. "The statement is 60 inherently incredible under the circumstances of the case that if the overwhelming weight of evidence were not against accepting the truth of it I should hesitate to do so.

It is not corroborated by a single witness, although several members of the police force and a large number of other persons were present at the time. I am perfectly convinced that the' respondent in this case, in his endeavor to extricate himself from the difficulty in which he found himself, committed willful and deliberate perjury on the witness stand in the examination held before me. he was not misled is apparent from the fact that he did produce the body of Frank Jenkins after the purpose which he had sought to accomplish, and which he admits that he knew it was the design of the writ to prevent, had been accomplished. That the conduct of the respondent in disobeying this writ was intentional was also conclusively established out of his own mouth upon the witness stand. "The said Kuhne admitted that he knew that the right of the Police Department to take the photograph and measurements of persons who had not been convieted of crime had been questioned.

knew that the counsel for Jenkins were trying to prevent this from being done until the right of the Police Department SO to do had been determined. He was determined defeat the purpose of counsel in this regard. He made no effort to ascertain about the validity of the writ, or whether he should produce Frank Jenkins or any one else in obedience to it, until after he had directed the said Jenkins to be taken upstairs at Police Headquarters and photographed and measured. For the sake of defeating the purpose of the writ, and accomplishing his own purpose, he deWherately disregarded its mandate, in the hope that in some manner he might afterward find an excuse for so doing. "While the respondent may not be charged for the conduct of any of the officers under his control prior to the time when prisoner delivered the character his conduct that 00- into his custody at Police Headquarters, casion may be considered in connection with his subsequent conduct in the same proceeding.

Jenkins. against the police officials, in which he stated that at the time that the writ of habeas corpus was served upon him he did not hare the relator in his custody. and that at no time whaterer has he had the said relator in his custods. A more deliberate insult to the intelligence of the Court could hardly be conceived. "'It only remains to determine what punishment shall be inflicted upon the respondent in this case.

The writ of habeas corpus is the most venerable of the State writs known to 1a.m. Its origin is lost in antiquity. but it antedated Magna Charta. It is a writ so sacred that is alone of the great State writs is especially protected by provisions both of Federal and State Constitution. It is a writ so important that it alone of the State writs is by special provision of statute permitted to be issued on Sunday, The right to it is so absolute that a severe penalty is imposed upon any court or judge who refuses to grant the writ upon application of any person entitled thereto.

A punishment in this case must be inflicted sufficiently serere to vindicate the dignity of this writ and to impress upon the respondent and others the serious consequences of disobedience to it. "For the contempt of which the respondent has been guilty. I direct that he be committed to the County Jail of Kings County and there imprisoned for a period of thirty days. that be fined in the sum of $250. and that he be committed to the same jail and there imprisoned until such fine is paid.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. 17. Sixtysix picked men of the First Kentucky Regiment. armed with Krag-Jorgensens and provided with six thousand rounds of ammunition, left early to for Hopkinsville to guard the terror-stricken city against another invasion from the "night raiders." Captain Dan Carroll, a Spanish War veteran, is in The reports from Hopkinsville indicate a remarkable state of affairs within a short distance of the centre of population of the United States. A city of 10,000 people is in a state of terror; business is paralyzed and citizens are under such a strain that the presence of troops is necessary to restore normal conditions.

Threatening letters and warnings have poured into Hopkinsville in such numbers that they indicate the most vindictive feeling on the part of the "night riders" toward the city. The fact that one of the raiders was killed and others, it is thought, were wounded, 'is said to have intensitied the wrath of the raiders. Their first raid was to strike at the American Tobacco Company's property. and their next may be to attack the city, YALE MUSICAL CLUB CONCERT.
