A NEW ORLEANS MARKET WAR.
Fenrs of Mob Violence Over an OBJ
noxious City Ordinance.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. THE market
war in New Orleans is rapidly reaching
crisis The city having come into con-
troll of the public markets by the lessee
throwing up the contract, the city coun-
ell endeavored to increase their value by
closing all private markets, meat, and
vegetable shops within three quarters of
a mile of the public market and prohibit
ing the sale of food products, game, etc,
by peddlers, produce dealers, and others.
The new ordinance went into effect
January ? and has caused the greatest
loss and inconvenience. Some 1900 pri-
vate market men and dealers were forced
out of business. losing heavily. This re-
acted on the commission merchants, who
sold them poultry. vegetables, etc, while
the public was greatly inconvenieneed by
having in some cases. to go mile and
half for their marketing.
Popular anger has been steadily rising,
and several meetings have been held to
protest against the ordinance. a propo-
sition was made that mass meeting be
held at some place near the city hall and
tina; the people march in a body to the
council chamber and demand the repeal
OF the obnoxious law. This aroused
Mayor Capdevielle, who announced that
such committee would be a mob and
would inevitably lead to disorder, and he
announced that if any threatening meet
ing was held or an attempt made to go
to the city hall he would use the police
to dispense it. This answer has still fur
Their intensified the feeling. and today the
situation looked threatening.
Fearing that some excited individual
injured by the market law might attack
the mayor several detectives were sta
toned at the city hall today. A rumor
that arms were being carried into the
hall caused an unpleasant feeling, but
the mayor ordered an investigation, when
it was found that but one rifle had been
brought into the Office. which he ordered
Immediately removed.
a meeting of the produce exchange was
held tonight and a large committee was
appointed to wait upon the council at its
session tomorrow night and urge the re-

COMMUNICATION WITH MARS.
Sir Norman Lockyer Discredits the
Claims of Tesla.

LONDON, Jan. Sir Norman Lockyer,
director of the Solar Physics Observatory
at South Kensington and professor of as
Economical physics at the Royal College
of Science, was interviewed today on the
subject of the theories advanced by Nj
kola Tesla regarding the possibility of
electrically communicating with the in
habitants of the planet Mars. Sir Norman
was frankly incredulous. He said:
Communication with Mars is abos-
lutely outside the domain of practical
science. When Testla convinces the scien-
tific world that he has succeeded it will
be believed. Nevertheless, he said it
must not be forgotten that many valuable
discoveries when first announced were re-
ceived with incredulity, notably the X
rays and the etheric telegraph. l would
like to ask Mr.. Tesla what grounds he has
for assuming that Mars is inhabited and
granting that he received messages from
outside the earth why is he so certain
they came from Mars more than from
Venus or the other .,'aDets?"
When questioned oncerning the dis
turbances recorded - Mr.. Teslas instru-
ments. Sir Norman said:
L attach no Importance whatever to
them. The earth is always in state Of
vibration. When these are on large scale
they are called earthquakes. When they
are infinitesimal they are not noticed ex-
cept by the most delicate magnetic instru-
ments. If Mr.. Tesla received message
from Mars, the electric transmittory infu
ence must have been general, not local.
Why should electric energy transmitted
from Mars have made its presence mani
tested solely in Colorado? All tho magnet
ic observatories in the world would have
been aware of it simultaneously. Paris,
Pekin Berlin, and Moscow would have
recorded it as soon as Colorado.
ANY solar magnetic disturbance affects
the whole earth, and the same law gov
ems planetary disturbances. Thus the
whole of our planet would be conscious
of a message from Mars at the same mo-
ment. Regarding the immense accumula-
tion of electrical energy which Mr.. Tesla
says is necessary for the delivery of his
interplanetary signals, it is quite posi-
BILE for him to concentrate the electrical
power he speaks of. He can also launch
it into space. but whether it would reach
Mars is more than | should like TO as
sort

RAILROAD RATES DISCUSSED.
Prof. Ripley Testifies Before the In
dustriaI Commission.

Prof Ripley. of the Massachusetts, IN
stitute of Technology. appeared before the
Industrial Commission yesterday to tes-
tify on the general subject of railroad
rates. He referred particularly to dis
elimination which, he says. exists at this
time in New England, owing to the fact
that the companies are DESTROYS of send
ing westward loaded rather than empty
the great number of freight cars which
have accumulated in that territory.
Prof. Ripley attracted considerable at
tention to Paul Rayner's group map,
showing the percentage basis of east
bound class rates of individual lines. in
effect January l, last year, and circulated
exclusively among the agents of the East
ern trunk lines. Mr.. Rayner is chief in
spector OF the Joint Rate Inspection Blu
reau at Chicago and his maps, according
to Prof. Ripley, show how the railroads
"annihilate geography" He said that the
commission would do we'll to get Mr.. Ray
ner as n witness to show the basis upon
which the railroads figure rates great
deal of his testimony was based upon IN
formation which he claimed he had OBJ
tanned in a confidential manner in his
position in connection with the Massa-
chusetts Institute.

The Police Force of Washington.

Two years ago strong representations
were made to Congress by Major Sylves-
ter. with reference to additional police
protection for the city of Washington and
for the District II was urged by him
that Two hundred more policemen would
not make the force greater than It ought
to be for the security Of jhe citizens. Con-
gress acceded to his request. TO the extent
Of giving him forty mon, and he now asks
that the rest Of the two hundred shall
be appointed. and appointed at once.
Common sense would suggest that when
q man like Major Sylvester. familiar with
the condition and needs Of the District and
responsible for It's proper protection, says
that he needs two hundred more men. he
does need them. and that an addition of
forty privates TO the police force will not
be enough L is not 10 be supposed that
petitions presented before Congress must
be constructed on the plan Of asking for
five times as much as the petitioner ex-
poets to get. Ii this were so. the proper
course for the Superintendent to pursue
would have been to ask for a thousand
men hoping that he might thereby secure
twenty per cent Of that number
The city OF Washington has. in proper
ton to its size. fewer policemen than
ether cities OF the United States statis-
ties show that Baltimore with half the
territory OF the District has eight hun
dred and fifty policemen. while Washing
ton has five hundred and twenty-six St.
Louis. which covers territory nearly as
large as Washington, has nine hundred
and seyenty-six policemen. Detroit. with
a force about the size Of Washington g,
has only half az much ground to cover.
This matter of area is important, Wash
ington covers so much ground that its
protection is more difficult than that of
& city Of the sGWe number OF inhabitants,
but less extent The reasons for this are
quito obvious. When a policeman is need
ed he is usually needed in a hurry and il
ne Is obliged TO run considerable distance
before answering n call, or if he is too
far away 10 hear nm appeal for assistance,
be is likely TO be too late to do any good.
There is comparatively little violence in
this city, owing perhaps, to the fact that
IL is not a manufacturing or commercial
centre. II is, however, easy TO see that
long stretches OF ground without police
protection offer a good chance for ,io-
