THE MILK SUPPLY SHORT.
LACK OF CORN AND HIGH PRICE of
MEAT THOUGHT TO BE
RESPONSIBLE

1t has been many yea since the milk sl,ppIv
Of this city has been su short as II has been
this season and the exchange price ha. 90
continuously remained above the average The
supply has not been below the demand but
should there be few hot days, there was
week ago, there would be shortage that would
probably make 1t difficult for the poor to get
their supply at the usual hot weather rates
Last week. owing to the Jewish holidays there
surplus for a few days. but this was
wiped out on the two warm days notwith-
standing the holiday period Milk will be more
plentiful when summer comes, as then the cattle
will be living in the fields.
The present exchange price is 2a. cents a
quart which is above what it usually Is at
this time of the year. Unless there are indica-
lions by tomorrow. when the regular monthly
meeting of the exchange is held that there Is
TO be a sudden influx, creating a surplus there
is likelihood that the wholesale price will
go down
The dealers seem to be at a loss for
PLANTATION of the situation. The shortage in the
corn crop seems 70 be near explanation
any that has been suggested. 1t is possible
that the law regarding the feeding of calves
has had something to do with it. The new bob
veal law directs that calves be fed on cows
milk for four weeks after birth. instead OF being
cut short within few days. Said prominent
dealer yesterday:
L am not yet able TO decide what has caused
the present condition but l think the shortage
in the corn crop had something to do with It.
The farmers did not to pay high prices for
feed. and they let their cows get poor. AS a
consequence giving large
quantities of milk usual. 1t is noticeable in
many dairies that the amount produced this year
by them does not equal that given by them In
other years. 1t may be- too that the high price
of beef has made il profitable TO kill of some

in cattle, although il may be that the whole

LOOK FOR TROUBLE AT R4CETIME.
BRONX POLICE ORDERED TO WATCH TELE-
PHONE WIRES.


PHONE WIRES.
The New-York and New-Jersey Telephone
Company has posted notices throughout West
chester County and The Bronx saying that 1t
will pay $50 for information which will lead
TO the conviction of persons guilty of tamper-
ing with its lines. The company. 1t is said. has
been greatly annoyed lately by the cutting of
the wires. and 1t suspects the 700 union linemen
who have been a strike in Westchester
County and The Bronx since March 6. On Sun
day Nyack and Dobbs Ferry were completely
cut off from this city. and only three OF the
eleven trunk lines running from Yonkers TO
New-York were in working order.
The company, 1t is reported. fears more trou-
BILE next week. when the Morris Park racetrack
opens for the spring meeting, and the police in
The Bronx have been ordered to be on the
alert. Mounted police patrolling unfrequented
places in The Bronx have been cautioned espe-
cially to look out for persons throwing sling
shots" over the wires. A sling shot consists
of a piece of small copper wire about three
feet long, with lead ball each end. They
are easily thrown over the telephone wires and
at once short circuit them. One sling shot on
q wire will put every telephone on the line out
of commission
The strikers deny that their organization l
responsible for the tampering with the wire5-

NO SURPRISE TO DETECTIVES.
Nc Direct Evidence Against Richard
Cole, but Arrest Expected.

COle, Out ATTEST Expected.
The result Of the inquest on Mrs. Ada
Gilbert Dennis. which resulted yester-
day in the holding of Richard Cole,
was not at all surprising to Detec-
tives Horne and Hartigan, who had
been engaged upon the case during the ten
months Of the woman's illness. Once dur
ing this time Richard Cole was placed un-
der arrest by other detectives who were un-
able to fasten the crime upon him. This
arrest served to hamper the two men who
had been working upon the case, but they
kept up their quest the same as II the ar
rest had not been made.
Then the witness Julius G. Van Brake
was sought. He was keeping the Hotel
Brunswick, on Pennsylvania avenue, ana
Richard Cole was one of the patrons OF the
hotel 1t was during Coles visits to the
hotel that he had the reported converse
lions with Van Brake. These conversa-
lions were reported to the detectives from
time to time and they had Cole Watch2o up
to the time he was taken sick, and While
he was confined in bed the officers visited
him a number of times.
Although the jury held Cole for investiga-
ton by the grand jury, there was nothing
like direct evidence against him, and the
officers are now working harder than ever
on the case. 1t is generally recognized that
unless further evidence is obtained an
indictment by the grand jury is TAR from
likely.
As stated in The Star yesterday, Cole
denied that he had said the things attributed
to him by the witness Van Brake. Yes
terday afternoon after the verdict was rem
dered Cole was taken to police headquarters,
where he was measured and photographed
for the gallery. He was afterward taken
to jail On the way to jail stop was
made at the Casualty Hospital where the
prisoner, who is still unwell, was treated.
1t is likely that the grand jury will not take
up the case until next month.

A Plea for Dunk.
the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1 beg through your paper to call the at
tention of the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals to the inhumane treat
ment of the elephant in the Geological Park
here All other animals, of less intelligence,
are provided with comfortable quarters,
inasmuch as they have freedom of action
and are capable of moving around in the
spaces, cages or Enclosures allotted to them !;
whereas the elephant. that is not only the
largest animal in size but in intelligence
as well, is given the smallest space posi-
BILE, and burdened with heavy chains which
only allow him to take one step forward or
backward, restraining any other motion.
The intelligence of the elephant Is classed
as being superior to that of other animals,
in some instances almost bordering upon hui
man intellect and reasoning power, as is
daily demonstrated in India, where the ele-
plant is pressed into service as the horse,
OK and donkey in other countries, but where
he is kept accordingly.
When kept in such narrow confinement
and deprived of every motion, as is Gus
tomary in geological parks and gardens In
this country, the elephant, patient by ma
ture, becomes in time vicious and vindictive.
and usually seeks revenge by killing his
keepers. as happened but recently in New
York, well as In other instances.
The result is that the poor beast is judged
to be vicious and is condemned to death by
poison But the conditions and circum-
stances that are the cause of-this vicious
ness are not removed. Cannot space In
the open, containing shed and surrounded
by strong iron fence, where he can move
around at random, be provided for the ele-
plant? How much more interesting then
to look at and study, and how infinitely
much better for the ANIMAL AS 1t is, the
elephant in the Geological Park is not an
object of interest, but of pity.
So many improvements for the health and
comfort of the other animals are constantly
taking place. why not also think Of the
poor elephant? MRS. CLARK.

THREE GREAT CANYONS.
Yosemite, Yellowstone and Grand
Canon Of the Colorado.
From the Century.


From the Century.
The justly famed Grand Canon of the
Yellowstone is, like the Colorado, gorgeously
colored and abruptly countersunk in a
plateau, and both are mainly the work OF
water. But the Colorado's canon is more
than thousand times larger, and as a
score or two new buildings of ordinary size
would not appreciably change the general
view of a great city, SO hundreds of yell
lcwstones might be eroded in the sides of
the Colorado Canon without notceably aug
menting its size the richness of it's scuIp-
ture. But 1t is not true that the great Yose-
mite rocks would be thus lost or hidden.
Nothing of their kind in the world so far
as 1 know, rivals Ell Captain and Tissiack,
much less dwarfs or in any way belittles
them None of the sandstone or limestone
precipices of the canon. that have seen or
heard of approaches in smooth, fawless
strength and grandeur the granite face of
Ell Captain or the Tenaya side of Clouds
Rest. These colossal cliffs, types of perma-
nence, are about three thousand and six
thousand feet high; those Of the canon that
are sheer are about half as high, and are
types of fleeing change; while glorious
domed Tissiack, noblest of mountain build
irgs, far from being overshadowed or lost
in this rosy, spiry canon company, would
draw every eye. and, in serene majesty
''aboon them a Fl" she would take her place
castle, temple, palace or tower. Never
theless, a noted writer, comparing the
Grand Canon in general way with the
glacial Yosemite, says: And the Yosemite
ah, the lovely Yosemite! Dumped down
into the wilderness of gorges and noun
tains, it would take a guide who knew of
it's existence a long time to find it, This
is striking and shows up well above the
levels of commonplace description; but 1t
is confusing. and has the fatal fault of not
being true.

Natural Beauty in Cities.

From the Architectural Record
We do not think that, as a general rule
the founders of cities have been Influenced
in their choice by theIbeauty of the land
scape. The suitability of the spot has been
the only point considered Thus we see
cities variously endowed in this respect
For instance. Naplesb bulk in terraces on
the shores of magnificent bay, cannot be
compared with Berlin, which stands on the
fiat, sandy banks Of the Spree. Broadly
speaking, it can be said that the proximity
of the sea, the fact that river flows
through the place, or that the ground has
differences of level, are all natural features
which contribute to the beauty of city
1t is not essential that a city be built on
several hills like Rome;' but 1t is certain
that monuments appear to greater advan-
tage when placed on high ground. Such
will be the case with the cathedral on
Morningside Heights. New York city, and
1t is likewise SO with the Church of the
Sacred Heart, Paris. This Is an edifice
mediocre in itself, but from the fact that
dominating the city, 1t can be seen from
afar and is sometimes bathed in sunshine
when the roofs at the foot OF the hill are
covered with smoke or mist 1t acquires adj
dtional Importance, for which, however, no
credit is due to the architect. In the same
way, a river running through city is a
source of beauty But these natural beau
ties are of no account If man is unable to
take advantage. OF them. Z 1t is here that
human action-taste; in short, art-comes
into play.
