THE NEW YORK POLICE
ASSURED BY MAYOR

NEW YORK, April mayor Low made
a statement today concerning the police
department and Police Commissioner Par
fridge in which he said Colonel Partridge
has his undated confidence. In the may
or's opinion the whole system of black
mail in the police department is nearer
to legal detection and overthrow as a re-
suit of his (Partridge's) policy than it has
ever been before"
Continuing the mayer said:
1.-The present situation is the direct
outcome of the perfect understanding and
complete cooperation between the may
or, the police commissioner and the dis
trict attorney of New York county"
No patrolman or police officer Mayor
Low said in conclusion, would ever be al
lowed to suffer by his administration for
doing his duty.
The situation referred to in the mayor s
statement is one that has grown out of
what has been termed a revolt by the
policemen of the Thirty-Seventh street
station. These men declared that they
would enforce the excise law and all 9TH
er laws regardless of the attitude of their
captain. After the patrolmen took this
stand Attorney Jerome said he would
prefer charges against the captain of
the Thirtv-seventh street station.

Light frost was reported by the weather
department for Atlanta yesterday morn
ing, but 1t is not believed that the fruit
crop has been badly damaged. All of the
Georgia stations heard from yesterday
reported a light frost. Observer Mar
bury thinks that in the valleys and places
protected from the wind the frost was per-
haps heavy enough to do some damage,
but on the whole he believes the frost
was too light to do great deal of damage
and that the majority of the fruit crop is
still SAFE
Mercury went lower Tuesday night than
It did the night before, a minimum of 80
degrees being reached. 1t is probable
that in some low places in this vicinity a
minimum slightly lower than this was
reached All damage from the present
cold snap has already been done, it is be-
lieved by the observer, as warmer wealth
er is predicted.
Heavy frosts were reported in Nashville,
Charlotte and Wilmington, and killing
frost at Knoxville. Macon, Savannah, Au-
gusta, Charleston. Memphis and Meridian
all reported light frost. Low tempera-
ture prevails over the eastern half of the
cotton belt. An area of low pressure is
moving in from the Pacific coast, bringing
warmer weather, cloudiness and possibly
rain.
Commissioner of Agriculture o. B.
Stevens is of the opinion that the fruit
crop was not damaged.
= Il 90 not think the cold -wea thera OF last
night injured the fruit crop to any ex-
tent" said Mr. Stevens. 1.-The wind saved

WHY AMERICAN ENGINES
ARE IN GREAT DEMAND

LONDON, April "A parliamentary pa
per issued today gives correspondence re-
specting the comparative merits of the
American, British and Belgian locomo-
tives now in use in Egypt. In a dispatch
to the foreign secretary, Lord Lansdowne,
December 81, covering number of re-
ports received from railroad officials, the
British diplomatic agent and consul gen.
eral in Egypt, Lord Cromer, draws the
general conclusion that the main reason
why so many orders for railroad plants
have recently been given to the United
States is that the American firms are able
to execute them with extraordinary ra-
pidity due largely to the system of
standardization
In respect to the price Lord Cromer
finds the British firms can hold their
own. where special designs have to be
executed.
With respect to the quality of British
work 1t is at least equal and often supe-
rior TO American and Belgian work while
in consumption of coal the British en-
gines have a decided superiority over the
American, though not over the Belgian
engines
The British manufacturers weak point
IS delay IN executing orders. The reports
show that the American tenders promised
delivery within one-third of the time re-
auired by the British firms, while they
equal suitability 10 per cent below the
British price though the latter's tenders
for locomotives built on Egyptian specifi-
cations were lower than the American Of
fers.
The correspondence includes the result
of a series of trials of American and Brit
ish freight and passenger engines, con-
Quoted by representatives of the Baldwin
company and a locomotive inspector of
the Egyptian railroads from which it ap-
pears that the American freight engines
consumed 254 per cent more coal than
the British, while the latter drew 142 per
cent more load. With the same load, the
American passenger engines consumed
80 per cent more coal than the British
engine.
Mr.. tombstone, president of the railroad
board concludes his report with a warn
ing against the condemnation of Ameri-
can locomotives because these trials have
been unsatisfactory, pointing out that the
Egyptian engineers and firemen are not
so muscular or intelligent as the Ameri-
cans and that alterations had to be made
to enable them to operate the locomotives
satisfactorily. He says he knows of rail-
roads where a suitable American design
has been selected and where the difference
of coal consumption is very small.

ABSORBS THE
PLANT
THREE THOUSAND MILES OF
RAILROAD TRAcKAGE ARE
CONSOLIDATED UNDER ONE
MANAGEMENT.

NEW YORK, April 3.-The announce
ment is made by direct and absolute au-
thority that the Atlantic Coast Line sys-
tenn of railways has absorbed the Plant
System and that at an early date both
the systems will be consolidated under
the name and charter of the Atlantic
Coast Line system. The general man
agement of the Coast Line will operate
the entire system, all the lines of both
systems being merged into one great sys-
TEN of railroads, aggregating 1900 miles.
For the past month there has been con-
siderable talk about the consolidation OF
these two systems. 1t was reported at
one time the Pennsylvania system was
at the back of the deal and that it would
absorb both the Coast Line and the Plant
System. Again ii was reported that the
Southern railway was about to obtain
possession of the two systems and there
were some who gave credence to this re-
port. largely on account of the intimate
traffic connections established about a
year ago between the Southern and Plant
System.

MANUFACTU RERS
T AIR S PACE
GOING
NEARLY ONE HALF SPACE SOLD,
AND APPLICATIONS FOR SPACE
ARE COMING IN RAPIDLY.
ATTRACTIVE EXHIBITS.

Nearly one-half of the space in the
Manufacturers fair, which will be held
in Atlanta in July, has been taken by At
lanta manufacturers, and applications for
space are coming in rapidly to Secretary
Walter G. Cooper, of the Manufacturers
association.
OF the fifteen thousand feet in the floor
of the building. five thousand will be taken
up by the aisles, and ten thousand will be
occupied by the exhibits
1t is the wish of the association to have
at least one important exhibit in each
line of industry in the city, and the re-
mainder of the floor space will be held
until this has been done. Then any man
ufacturer who wishes space can get it,.
Only two of the sub-committees of the as
ISOLATION have gotten out to solicit ex-
hibits, yet half of the space has been TAX
en-. over three hundred applications for
space have been received through the
mail.
Among the interesting attractions at the
fair will be the operative exhibits, which
will be especially good. Many of the
manufacturers will have machinery run
ming in the building, and will show the
workings of their machines to the visitors.
The floor space along the walls is most
in demand, as the exhibitors can pile their
attractions higher against the walls. The
space in the building is being let at 80 and
40c per foot, according to the location.
large number of visitors from the
neighboring towns will be present during
the fair. AS soon as all the arrangements
have been completed, a committee Will
visit all of the cities and towns of this
and adjoining states and personally invite
the mayors and councils to be present.
