It will thus be seen that the award contracts has been delayed four months. The Commission has held few meetings that time, but will meet Thursday, now Myers' Injunction proceedings are and probably award the contract. In his decision Justice Gildermleeve views the claims Net up by the plaintiff touching among other things certain quallwhich the steel work advertised for approaches must possess, and which as alleged made competition unfair.

Thin dented by the bridge engineers, who were planned in Interest of safeguarding the public and curing contracts only with firms capable doing good work: Justice Gildersleeve says: "As to the effect of limiting competition a small class of bidders, in causing an crease of the cost of the work, which charged against the defendants, there la reason to apprehend any such reaults, for amply shown by the affidavits, read part of the defendants, that, 8O far respects the requirements of 'Anished are twenty concerns which now easily can, produce that kind of steel. Whether the commissioners have acted wiseor not, in selecting and insisting use of a certain kind of steel, In construction of the bridge, it in not for to sit in Judgment upon the exercise them of that discretion, which is vested them by the Legislature. For aught that appears before me, I must assume that they acted honestly and wisely. all events, they cannot be said to unreasonable or unfair as to constitute abuse of the discretion, which the Legishas entrusted to the Commissioners. far as the policy of the Commissioners tend to limit competition, it must remembered that the of the law, requiring municipal corporations to Invite competition for public works, is based on economic considerations; it was never Intended that municipal commissions should irresponsibly over the competition unqualifled bidders, merely for the purof furthering the Interests of business.

first consideration of this magnitude is safety and permanence, and conditions and qualifications affecting and contract must tend to secure "The labor law, so called, has been before Appellate Division on several occasions, Its constitutionality might properly been drawn in question, but no the validity of the law seems to have expressed, and I do not feel disposed to from the rule, of judicial propriety at that la single Judge, sitting at Special should not, except in a palpable case, to pronounce an act of the Legislaa violation of the Constitution. But the plaintiff, as I view his position, has not established a sufficient status to maintain this nor, aside from this question, shown meritorious grounds for an injunction. "Motion is denied, with $10 costs. Order to be settled on notice." Decision to be Appealed From. At the office of L.

Lafin Kellogg, 120 Broadway, Manhattan, this afternoon, the thro Brooklyn decision Times of Justice reporter was Gildersleeve Informed dissolv- that ing the injunction against the new East River Bridge Commissioners would be appealed from. The appeal will not act as a stay of proceedings in the award of the contract for the approaches, but if East River Bridge Commission makes the a award it will do so upon its own responsibility, At the office of the East River Bridge Commission, this afternoon, only one of the Commissioners, Boyle, was present. Mr. Boyle was gratified at the decision, but would express no opinion until he had received an official copy of it. He did say, however, that the reason for bringing the Injunction proceedings might be possibly laid at the door of corporations a traffic business across the East River.

It was further said this afternon that Vice President Mitchell, of the Hydraulic Construction Company, one of the bidders for the approaches, was back of Mr. Meyers in his injunction proceedings.

Mary White got out of jail yesterday. She is well known in East New York. She had been spending the past six months on city board, resting and recuperating through the summer. This morning she was arraigned again before Magistrate Worth In the Gates Avenue Court. Mary felt so good over her release that she visited all her friends, and drank not wisely but too well.

At 7 o'clock last night Mary was in a high state of exhilaration, and was singing snatches of old songs in a wheezy, alcoholic volce that disturbed the neighbors for blocks around on Atlantic and Vesta avenues. She was in the midst of "I Won't Go Home Till Morning' when she was observed to pitch violently forward on her head, and land in the gutter, where she was picked up by a policeman, and taken to the Brownsville Station House. "I have just got out of jail, your Honor," whimpered Mary this morning. "Just because I drank a glass of beer the officer wouldn't give me a chance." Mary went to jail for twenty-nine days more.

Has Made Many Speeches and Gone Many Miles-Hurt by Ribaldry. (Special to the Brooklyn Times.) ALBANY, Oct. William J. Youngs got back to-day from Chicago, where he spent Sunday with Gov. Roosevelt.

He says the Governor still feels much cut up over the outrageous conduct of the gang of newsboys who greeted him with such disgraceful language as he was leaving church on Sunday. Col. Youngs has some interesting statistics relating the Governor's Western campaign trip. seems that from Septemto, ber 6 until midnight last Saturday, the distance traveled was 12,872 miles. The number of speeches delivered 290, and of persons addressed about Each speech averaged about 2,000 words, making a total of 580,000 words.

The special train averaged 60.03 miles an hour. The Governor managed to get a night's rest in bed just three times during the month. Despite the wear and tear of the trip he is reported to be in good physical condition, and his voice is bearing the strain as well as could be expected. DIDN'T FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. Stiess' Eye Was Injured, but Medicine Company Was Not Responsible.

In the suit of William Stiess against the Munyon Homeopathic Home Remedy Company to recover $10,000 for injurles, a jury to-day brought in a verdict in favor of the defendant company. The plaintiff alleged that he purchased an inhaler and that the chemicals used in it exploded and injured him so severely that he is likely to lose the sight of his right eye. The company's defense was that if the plaintiff had followed the directions which were sent with the inhaler the accident would not have occurred.
