quests to aid church fairs, thirty-four

Seven persons asked permission to

Police Commissioner Bingham is
nothing if not energetic and original in
his effort to improve the police ser
vice of New York. A week or two ago
he issued to the public a neat little
pamphlet entitled "Blue Book for Citi
zens.’’ rule 3 of which reads as fol
lows: “In / case of complaint write
directly to the police commissioner
and mark the envelope ‘ Personal.”’
One warm day last week, when the
ten-cent fare to Coney Island was
proving a distracting problem, the fol
lowing communication reached head
quarters from "A Citizen,” who evi
dently taken his advice literally: "I
beg to inform you that the vilest den
in New York is run at 434 West Thir
ty-seventh street. Disorderly persons
of both sexes resort to it at all hours
of the day and night. This infamous
den should be broken up.” Instantly
there was excitement at headquarters
and visions of another shake-up.
Forthwith the communication was dis
patched to Capt. Steve O'Brien, to
. whom has been assigned the task of
1° holding down the lid of the Tenderloin
. , . . , , , . ln during the dull summer season, with
nt of *;’°' r , st , ff lthe information that if Capt. O'Brien
!L ba ,"-.J 7r .u S . d £-L s '’ bad not enough men to close up this
resort, the commissioner would furnish
all that was needed. By return mes
senger came the following report from
Captain O’Brien: “The building 434
West Thirty-seventh street, I most re
spectfully report, is the police station
house of which I am commander.
Respectfully, Stephen O'Brien.” The
citizen who had the courage to perpe
trate so mean a joke on the commis
sioner has not yet been discovered.
Two hundred members of the Texas J
Bankers’ Association breezed into town
and 0111 nrrain late last week in a
cheery Southwestern way which has
done much to dispel the feeling of de
pression occasioned by the somewhat
critical attitude assumed by the seven- I
teen young ladies from Oregon who
preceded them 1 few weeks ago. New
Vork is generously disposed and al
lows that the pronunciation of the'
Oregon maidens to the effect that her i
streets are crowded, her public servants
rude, and her women overdressed was I
probably inspired by the fact that they j
were dependent upon one lone man for
escort and a woman’s hotel for enter
tainment. Nevertheless it was sooth
ing to civic pride to hear the president j
of the Honov Grove National remark
to the president of the Ventis Bank,
when about a million of Coney Island’s
electric lights jumped into life and
flashed red. and white, and green from
tower to tower as they sat at dinner
in the revolving cafe: “This sure does
beat Boston, but they can't com
fast for Texas.” The remark was in
part reminiscent of t
place. The Texan
cashiers, and capitalists from the Pan
handle to the Rio Grande and side
ways in both directions, are on their
Annual pleasure tour subsequent to the
convention of the Texas Bankers’ As

NEW YORK, July 2.—While Mar
sha) Henkel and his deputies were
seeking everywhere for John D. Rock
efeller today, they were equally zeal
ous in their efforts to serve William
Rockefeller, a brother of J. D. Rocke
feller, with a subpoena, requiring his
presence before Judge Landis in Chica
go, July 6. Marshal Henkel declares
that William Rockefeller is as difficult
to serve as is his brother. A report
today has it that William Rockefeller
is In Rome; and another report has him
sojourning in the South of France,
while still another states he is in the
Adirondacks.
Marshal Henkel says he is convinced
that J. D. Rockefeller is not in the
jurisdiction of the district, but he is
not so certain about William Rocke
feller. It has been reported that Mr.
Rockefeller is at the home of his son-
in-law, E. Parmalee Prentice, near
Pittsfield: that he has been staying at
his own home in Tarrytown, N. Y., and
that he was on his way’ to his Cleve
land home, but neither the marshal or
any of his deputies have been able to
determine where Mr. Rockefeller is to
be found. Inquiry at Mr. Rockefeller’s
home at Tarrytown have elicited only
the rsponse that the whereabouts of
Mr. Rockefeller are unknown.

“Basing my opinion upon private in

I do not know,” the marshal continued
“but it locks as though he reached
Cleveland yesterday and entered his
estate by way of the rear entrance,
The only answer I have obtained
any of my questions at his house was
from the froni gate keeper, who r
peatedly said, ‘He has not passed
through this gate.”
"When I attempted to interview Miss
Howard. Mr. Rockefeller’s secretary,
she said: ‘You need not ask me any
questions, as I will not answer you.’
‘'Deputy Schwenter was stationed

Rockefeller is in Cleveland, he is with

M. David, of Hancock County, and if
he is called upon by the Federal au

capture he will simply call another

Without exaggeration it can be said
tint. New York is the greatest sum
mer resort city in the world. The
number of people who annually leave
its limits for the mountains or the
Fcashore would populate a city the
size of Baltimore, or even larger. Yet
tlie city scarcely feels the difference,
for thousands of people arrive here
every summer to spend their vacations

New Yorker wants to forget with the
approach of warm weather. They in

orable time to lay in their winter

school teachers and thousands of other
people whose duties are not so press

persons of means, who can afford to
go elsewhere, but prefer to come to
New York. They arrange their af
fairs so that necessary business may
be transacted during the morning
hours, lunch In some shady restau

and where there is good ’music to
cause one to forget the turmoil of the
outside streets. Tlie afternoons are
spent on the rivers or beaches within
a few miles of the city’s center, the
evenings on some one of the numerous
roof gardens. So popular have these
roof resorts become that a number of

AOKI SAYS JAPAN WOULD
NOT VIEW IT UNFRIENDLY
DIEPPE, July 2.—With a wonderful
display of coolness, nerve and endur
ance, Nazzaro. the Italian champion,
today catpured the automobile grand I
prix at an average speed 113 kilome- J
tres. 600 metres per hour, breaking the
world’s record. The pace was killing
from the start, leaving a score of cars
hopelessly beaten before the second
round was ended. The race was full
of surprises. Nazzaro was not promi
nent in the contents. Lancia took the
first three laps, but when he broke
down at the third and surrended the
lead to Duray, the latter, as he' reeled
off lap after lap under 40 minutes,
looked an easy winner, but on enter
ing the ninth round, a broken bearing
put his car out of action and he was
forced to retire. In the meantime.
Nazzaro, riding like a demon, but coqi
and steady, overhauled Lancia, and
when Duray dropped out, he continued
on, unheeded to the finish. Szisz came
up from the ruck and made a gallant
but unavailing effort during the last
two laps to overtake the flying leader.
Lancia’s petrol gave out in the final
round, permitting Baras to finish third.
Nazzaro’s brilliant victory was ac
knowledged by all, but the heart had
been taken out of the crowd by Du-
rav’s accident and the French thous
ands received the news coldly.
The times of the first and second
men were as follows:
Nazzaro, 6 hours, 46 minutes. 33 sec
onds: Szisz 6 hours, 53 minutes, 10
seconds.
Roguier finished fourth, Caillois
fifth; Rigal sixth: Barillier seventh;
Garset eighth and Shepard ninth.
Christie, the only American partici
pant driving an American machine had
dropped out early in the race and did
not figure among the leaders.
Shepard doggedly persevered to the
end, finishing last in 7, 39 minutes, 56
seconds.

How Genius Borrows Ideas and Inspi
ration.
"It Is wonderful,” says Charles
Reade, “how genius can borrow.” “All
literature.” remarks Oliver Wendell
Holmes, "lives by borrowing and lend
ing”; and he adds, "a good image is
like a diamond which may be set a
hundred times in as many generations,
and gain new beauties with every
change.” This is not a question of
originality. “The lighting a candle at
a neighbor's fire ” observes Dean Swift
"does not affect our property in the
wick and flame.” "Genius borrows
nobly.” The transference is often a
transmutation. For brass, the borrow
er brings gold, and for iron, silver:
and for wood, brass; and for stones,
iron. The crude ore is refined, and
the raw material fashioned into a
thing of beauty.
It has been pointed out by Mr. Huth,
in his “Life of Buckie.” that there is a
kind of pedigree in literature. Dante
avows his indebtedness to Vergil: as
the latter himself was under obliga
tions to Homer.
Ariosto owes much to Vergil, and
Spenser borrows frequently from
Ariosto. Spenser’s "Faerie Queene”
gave birth to Fletcher’s "Purple
Island,” and this to Bernard's “Isle of
Man ” and this in turn to Defoe’s
'Robinson Crusoe” and Bunyan's “Pil
grim’s Progress”—all like so many
blossoms rising from the one stem.
Shakespeare has been called “the
great Warwickshire thief.” so invet
erate is his borrowing habit. He in
vaded literature like a Napoleon and
brought back the rarest art treasures
the House in session on the fourth of
July last year. However, when Mr.
Hall learned that the Senate was not
in session he had the resolution tabled
until tomorrow when the Senate can
be communicated with regarding the
adjournment.
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, moved that all
the bills which had been introduced,
some 300 in number, be read the sec
ond time, so as to save the time of the
House. To this Mr. Hall objected on
the ground that general bills could not
properly be read the second time under
the rules until they had been reported
on by committees. The resolution was
then’ amended so as to apply only to
local bills, and passed. All the local
bills were read a second time, and on
the next reading will be ready for
passage.
A number of important and inter
esting bills were introduced at today’s
session. Another State prohibition bill
by Mr. Mundy. of Polk, proposes to
make the sale of any intoxicated
liquors illegally, a felony, and punisha
ble by imprisonment in the State pen
itentiary.
Mr. Mtfndy also introduced a bill
providing that after January 1, 190S.
all State, county and congressional
primaries shall - be held on the third
Wednesday in August. This is a mat
ter which now rests with the State,
county and district executive commit
tees.
Mr. Lumsden, of White, introduced
a bill making all dogs taxable, and
providing that no one should be allow
ed to sue for any unlicensed dog in
any of the courts of the State.
Messrs. Holder, of Jackson, and
Alexander, of DeKalb, Introduced the
bill providing for an increase in the
State bank examining force, an ac
count of which was given in these
dispatches yesterday.
An important bill was that intro
duced by Messrs. McMahan, of Clark,
Holder and Flanigan, of Jackson, for
the regulation of co-operative and
mutual fire insurance companies. It
provides that they shall not receive
charters until they have applications
for/at least $100,000 of insurance, that
they must each deposit $5,000 as a
guarantee fund with the State Treas
urer, and that they must reserve at all
times 60 per cent of the premiums paid
in order to meet losses.
Other important bills introduced
were as follows:
Bv Mr. Buchannon. of Early—To
create the position of reporter for tho
State Court of Appeals.
By Mr. Russell, of Muscogee—To
create the office of railroad inspector,
provide for his appointment by the
Railroad Commission, to require him
to inspect annually ail the railroads in
the State and pay him $2,500 a year
and expenses.
By Mr. Russell, of Muscogee—To
amend the State code with reference
to the abandonment of children so as
to make it applicable to all cases
.where the child is dependent upon the
father for a living.
By Mr. Buchannon. of Early—To es
tablish a dispensary in the city of
Blakely.
By Mr. Adkins, of Dooly—To pro
hibit the publication by newspapers of
salacious details of assault, murder,
divorce cases, lynchings and the like.
By Mr. Heard, of Dooly—To appro

the State pension fund for 1907.

those having cities of 40,000 or more,
a salary of $4,000 per annum.
By Mr. Guyton, of Effingham—To

Eastern Capitalists.
ATLANTA. July 2.—The party of
eastern capitalists headed by Edward
F. Buchanan, of New York, head of
the firm of A. O. Brown and Co., who
have been visiting at Norcross. spent
today in Atlanta and were entertained
at a dinner by the Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce. Mr. Buchanan recent
