Police reserves and agents for the Society for Mie Prevention of CruPlty to Animals routed twenty-seven Moorish bandits who began their annual feast to their patron at Coney Island yesterday. The Moors, who were a part of Ralsuli's brigand tribes until they were engaged by naaaail Ben Ali to exhibit at Dreamland, had for the first time since their arrival in this country tasted meat from an animal slain hy one of their own high priests, when the society agents put a stop to the rites that had been going on since sunrise on the sand dunes between Gravesend Bay and Coney Island. The altar, which had been built and consecrated by the representatives of Ratsull, was scattered by the invaders, who at the same time disarmed every one of the bandits and brought their leader.

Dowdie, the scribe, who took part in the negotiations to free General from Raisuli's camp, to the Brooklyn office of the society, where, a promise made by Hassan that Dowdie and his followers would not continue their feast and sacrifice resulted In a parole being granted, while efforts are being made to obtain a permit from the Board of Health to carry out the festival of Raisuli to-day and to-morrow. The raid created no end of excitement at Coney Island, when it was reported that the brigands had raided the ca-np city adjoining the Moorish ramp near T'lmer Park. Wnile the most secluded spot that could be found was selected for the ceremony, the agents of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals had no difficulty in locating the worshippers. The management of Dreamland refused allow the ceremony because of the powder dance, which required the use of a large amount of gunpowder. At the bridge across the Coney Island Creek a rrowd of indignant residents directed the police to spot where the shooting, playing of tomtoms revelling were going on, while the Moors were preparing their meat in accordance with the rites.

The sheep which was sacrificed to the Bedouin patron wss brought here from Morocco several days agn. After heing killed the sheep was roasted and divided the As the last morsel was being devoured the police and the society's agents into the camp with Mnnk warrants for Dowdie and the- younger Raisuli, who is also a member of the troupe. The men. unable to understand English, thought the demonstration hostile, and immediately prepared to resist the attack, but the arrival of police reserves soon quieted the worshippers, and they agreed to give up their sheath knives and firearms. Then the raiders read the law to Hassan Ben Ali and Dowdie, but the Moors raised a rumpus when they were told they would not be allowed to kill their own sheep in this country, when their religion makes it the most serious offence to eat an animal that has been killed by an "unneliever." Hassan declared that the laws of the United States allowed religious freedom, but the society's apents insisted that the health rules were being violated.

Hassan declares he was assured by the immigration authorities tnat the men would be allowed to worship in their native manner. He sent a cable dispatch to Tangier informing the Moroccan government of the of the feast. He will fight the case, is he declares that under his contract the Moors arc to be allowed to eat meat at least once a month. CITY'S TRADE IX 1007. Chamber of Commerce Reports Conservative Tendencies.

The fifteenth annual report of the New- York Chamber of Commerce, compiled by Secretary (ienrKe Wilson, was made public yesterday. Staples discussed in the report are sugar, coffee, tea, tobacco, breadstuffs, provisions and petroleum, and imports and exports of precious met.ils. (it sugar the report says that the monetary stringency so conspicuous in 1907 did not seriously affect its trade, and sellers had since been able to obtain better prices. A slig-ht increase in consumption, a moderate falling off In production and an advance in prices are the important features that have characterized the course of all trades. The coffee trade has been Conservative, says the report, and values for the year have developed an easier tendency.

The plan of the Brazilian government 111 buying the excess coffee crop of last year, amounting to 75 pfr cent the regular crop, helped to maintain values in that staple. The report points out that the crop of the present year will yield approximately 10.125,000 bags, and that of next year. In all probability, the same. The tea business, it says, has been moderate, and shipments have resulted disastrously for Importers. The total value of foreign commerce in the port of New Fork was placed at an increase of (141.431688 over 1906, as compared with an increase of (193,312.513 in 1906 over 1906.

In the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court, on a charge of perjury in connection with the hearing: before a magistrate on the alleged bribery of his fellow Municipal Ownership League alderman.

"William S. Clifford. But before the Jury had been drawn Abraham Levy stepped forward and. as counsel for ex-Alderman Clifford, paid that Clifford wished to enter a plea of guilty on the bribery charge, which consisted in receiving $6,000 from a morning newspaper reporter, who represented himself as working In behalf of those who wished to elect ex-Judge Cowing Recorder to fin the vacancy made by the elevation of Recorder Goff to the Supreme Court. Mr.

Levy said: "Clifford is an example of the politically ambitious. He has been deserted by ail his friends. There is nothing for him to do but plead guilty." Mr. Levy then asked that he have until to-day before entering the plea, because he wanted to confer with Clifford. The court granted this request.

The jury In the Peters case was drawn quickly, and the second interesting event of the day came late in afternoon, when ex-Alderman Francis J. O'Neill testified that he had no recollection of the things he had said in an affidavit signed by him in February. 1007. Tn his affidavit ho had deposed that on meeting Peters in the committee mm of the Board of Aldermen, after there had been voting on John Palmieri for Recorder, Peters said, "We are going to vote for Cowing to-day." you swear." Assistant District Attorney Smyth asked, "that he did not say We're going to vote for Cowing to-day'?" do not." said the witness loudly. "Will yoti ssy under Obtli you have no recollection of it?" "I will, sir." -was the sharp reply.

That was the outcome of most of the questions. Mr. Smyth was permitted to show O'Neill his affidavit of sixteen months ago. When his attention was called to various statements in the affidavit Mr. O'Neill said that if he said them then they must have been so.

but most of them had since slipped from his memory. His cross-examination by Adolph Ruger, counsel for peters, was not reached, because the exhaust of steam outside the courtroom windows near the excavating work began to make so much noise that the trial was adjourned until to-day. Ex-Alderman Peters was nattily dressed, and seemed as chipper and happy as on the day when he described himself as one of "th" three Intellectual giants of the Board of Aldermen." After kissing his wife goodby he was across to Tombs for the night. FOR JUG JEWELRY THEFT. Former Pennsylvania Pullman Porter Held in West Side Court.

She was stricken, while in AE3IY AND iVAVY NEWS War Department Hasn't Sufficient for Supply Depot. ITrom The Washington.

j- in S. GREAT PACIFIC WAR The "War partment authorities have been In something of quandary concerning the Just been let to a Xew York for constructloa at Fort Mason. of the big army supply depot, which is to cost more than two million This will be th- principal shipping point and transport headquarters between this country asA Manila. There will ultimately be built quarters and barracks with the means of taking care of a. large body of troops.

The depot will be equipped as a storage place of capacity sufficient to meet the needs of war. When the bids were recently opened by the Quartermaster General for this worlc it was found that the lowest bid exceeded amount which was available. An arrangement. however, has been made with the contractor by which certain items are omitted from first work he Is to do. and if funds are available later on the remaining construction will be carried out on the contract which has Just been awarded.

This was considered better than revising the and specifications, which would have Involved considerable work and much delay, and la addition. to which It was necessary to award the contract before the end of the present fiscal year. work which was omitted consists of some sheds. which can be built later without Interfering with the general project. The military authorities much satisfied with this conclusion, since it them of a badly needed army supply depot shipping station on the Pacific Coast.

There was some desire to have this establishment on FOOBC Sound, but the land adaptable for the purpose was by the government at Fort Mason. and that place had been selected by the experts after a careful consideration of other availablesites. The railroad facilities will be eaten' so as to reduce the amount of handling of the supplies to the minimum. It will be possible to transfer material between the cars and transport with handling. BATTLESHIPS AT have been sent from the Xavy Department to the commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet, giving an outline of the practice to be held with guns of the ships of that command.

Some of preliminary work will be held in Sublg Bay upon the arrival of the fleet in Philippine waters on Its Jonrney around the world. It Is expected that the practice Itself will occur during the early part of November in Manila Bay. and orders cave been sent to the navy yard at vite to prepare the floating targets and chart the ranges. There is sufficient space In Manila Bay to conduct this target practice, which Is usually held for record purposes Guantanamo. Cuba It is gratifying to the naval authorities to be able to conduct target practice with the big notwithstanding circumnavigating cruise, which is observed so far to, have as its one disadvantage its deprivation of, the annual practice with small arms.

This has always been conducted at the naval station at Ouantanamo, but there arc no facilities either on Pacific Coast or in the Philippines for hi vine small arms practice for the benefit of eight thousand men. The facilities at Manila are meagre, and It is out of the question to delay the ships sufficiently long to give all the men a chance at this riSe fire. This year's target practice in Manila Bay will a departure from the preceding work in that MM ships will go on the ranges without previous knowledge of the direction or speed at which they will pass the targets. This information will be in form of sealed which will be opened as the ships start for the practice. It is another steptoward promoting efficiency in naval gunnery under conditions which are as exacting as those af actual warfare.

Under such conditions it Is not to be expected that as good percentages will be made as) have been achieved at Guantanamo and lena Bay. but the practice will be more valuable.
