City officials take the reasonable view that
the management of the Staten Island ferry falls
short of it's full duty to the public. and dissen-
sions have arisen over the renewal of the lease.
The attitude of the municipal authorities will
have plenty of backing among citizens That
line has been lamentably sluggish. Apparently
new men, new methods and a hearty zeal to
furnish a proper service needed. More than
one of our ferries should get vigorous shaking
up, and something of that sort may fairly be
expected next year.

Great city New-York is. 1t needs many
things. It's park system covers thousands of
acres and above the Harlem 1t is not only
spacious, but superb. Yet the number of small
parks in the tenement districts is still too few.
And more recreation piers and extensive addi-
tions to the public bath facilities would be of
tnestimable benefit to multitudes who now get
little comfort in hot weather. We may expect
confidently that the Low administration will do
all it can for innocent enjoyment and the relief
of distressful conditions so far as the funds at
the disposal Of the city treasury will suffice.

ed Gang of Robbers working

to have control OF large stocks In various

thieves who have been arrested and con-
victed OF numerous robberies, and who,
after being sent to prison, would accuse
him OF connection with the robberies, be-
cause. they said, Goldman had not kept his
part Of the bargain. The stories of the
convicted burglars were repeated so often
that some attention was paid to them. and
Tor several weeks past detectives were
kept at Goldman's heels constantly
According to the police, regular meetings
OF the alleged robbers were held, at which
Goldman presided. Plans of robbery were
made at these gatherings and each mans
work was mapped out. When a place was
selected Goldman would go there and buy
small Dill Of goods, at the same time be-
ing careful to find out If the place was
wired with burglar alarms. He would
make his report at the next meeting of his
gang. and finally preparations for rob-
ping the place would be made Occasional
iy 1t would be decided to enter a fiat, and
for this work, it is alleged Goldman had
sixteen expert fat workers or thieves.

miles out Of Hilo on the Hamakua road
broke with one Of the Volcano stables

feet long and about thirty-flve feet above
the water. A team belonging to the Como

Volcano stables had crossed just previously.
This wagon, driven by Manuel francesca.

cesco heard the bridge crack behind him
he threw the lines and jumped clear. for,
tunately landing In a deep pool AS he
came to the surface he saw a piece of fall
Ing timber and dived, throwing up one arm
to protect his head. The timber hurt his
arm and he received a kick on the hin from
one mule. but these injuries are very slight
When the mules felt the bridge going down
they made a desperate struggle to pull up
and OF the bridge, even tearing OFF some
OF their shoes In the attempt. The wagon
turned complete somersault landing In

with the load In the box. The wagon and
harness are almost a complete wreck and
three OF the mules were killed. Had the

are about eighty feet high. The accident
was due to the breaking of an overhead

subcommitte of the Senate committee on
military affairs. met this morning in the
committee room at the Capitol to begin the
investigation Of the charges made against
certain officials of the War Department by
E. L. Hawkes. in connection with alleged
dealings in hemp in Manila.

ators 1t was announced that another meet
ing will be held Monday at II o'clock to
outline the scope Of the investigation 1t

ley and Cockren that the committee should
proceed in executive session.
Col. H. o. s. Heistand of the adjutant
generals department arrived here this
morning from San Francisco He reported
to Adjutant General Corbin and was placed
on special duty in his office At the put

cided to send troops to China to aid in
the rescue of the legationers at Pekin Col.
Heistand was ordered to the seat Of trou-
BILE for duty as adjutant general to Gen.

When charges were filed against him by
Mr.. Hawkes. of this city for alleged COM
plicity in the Philippine hemp scandal, and
the matter became the subject Of senatorial
investigation, Col. Heistand was ordered
home. He arrived at San Francisco several
months ago, and the Senate committee on

San Francisco In connection with the mus
ter out of the volunteer army. He was at
the War Department today, but refused to

meet them whenever called upon to do so.
He Will undoubtedly be summoned to ap-
pear before the Senate committee now en-
gagged in the investigation Of the hemp
