plans be executed as now framed a tunnel
will be added to the Districts equipment,
OF great Importance in serving as the con-
Meeting link between the northern and
southern lines of the eastern seaboard. 1t
is Imperative, in the light of the New
York disaster. that the plans be carefully
drawn to minimize the dangers attendant
upon underground raiiroading. Thus far
there has been published only the most
general outline of the tunnel plan. the de-
tails having been left to the plats and
drawings which have been prepared by the
railroads engineers. 1t is to be assumed,
In the absence of contrary information,
that the purpose Is to use steam power in
the tunnel, on the surface and viaduct
lines Of the railroads entering the city.
VIII 1t not be we'll for the railroad au-
thoTdties to consider the advisability Of
providing some other means Of locomotion
In the tunnel? Already the New York
Central company has hinted, in view of
the general denunciations aimed against it
in consequence Of the tunnel disaster, that
1t proposes to substitute electricity for
steam along this part Of the line. This is
the tendency in railroading under general
conditions. and 1t would be highly desirable
IL this model railroad terminal soon to be
evolved In the District were to be planned
according to the highest standard Of pub
lie safety and comfort. OF course, this
tunnel will never, presumably, become so
densely congested as is that in New York,
but there will be an clement of danger
nevertheless If locomotives are to be used,
with their great outpouring OF steam and
vapor and smoke to obscure the vision of
engineers and firemen.

The New York tunnel horror has been
followed by rigid investigation of the
conditions leading to the disaster, and
steps have already been taken. not only
to nix the responsibility upon the officials
or operatives accountable for the blunder
which cost SO many lives, but to cure the
evils which permitted the crash. It is
found that the smoke and vapor of the
locomotives at times completely obscure
the signal lights, upon which the trainmen
depend for their guidance in this greatly
cengested line. and that the marvel Is that
more accidents do not happen. The morn
ing and evening traffic is tremendously
heavy, trains following each other N and
ou. 50 closely that the rails are virtually
continuously occupied. Under such condi-
tions the necessity for reliable signal
system Is imperative. the margin of safety
being exceptionally small.

Mr.. Croker "Retires."

Naturally, the people of New York are
skeptical on the subject of Mr.. Croker's
retirement" from the leadership of Tam
many Hall. That there is bunko some
where about the arrangement seems likely,
and the precise nature Of it Is already the
subject of investigation. Mr.. Nixon is a
man of good position in the business world,
and is not connected there with anything
subjectng him to adverse criticism. But
he entered the political world as a protege
of Mr.. Croker, and in doing so invited ap-
praisement a politician on low plane.
Being Mr.. Cookers intimate friend, he is
reckoned as of Mr.. Croker's kind and will
ing to play Mr.. Crokers game. And so
arise two inquiries: What is Mr.. Croker S
game? And how successfully may Mr..
Nixon hope to play it?
Mr.: Croker has reasoned after the fash
ion of the clown in 'Olivette" 1T is a
time for disappearing" So he takes 4
header" and down he goes. But when
the sky is clearing and he hopes that may
come about in the near future-he will bob
up serenely from below" Meanwhile Mr..
Nixon, his friend and representative, will
remain on deck and affect to steer the
ship, and ask all observers to believe that
the orders are his own, that the course is
Straight, anu THAT lIle ueSllUatioR {S Il port
of safety and coed reputation.
Mr.. Crokers play, according to his lights,
is well-timed. Had he remained openly in
charge of Tammany's affairs Tammany' s
many offenses would have remained upper
most in the public mind and the topic of
warning in popular speculation. Those dis
pleased with, or mildly disappointed in, the
fruits of fusion, non-partisan local govern
ment would yet have consoled themselves
with a thought of Tammany and Croker
ism. and reasoned as to how much worse
things would have been under Shepard as
Croker's choice and Tammanys representa-
tive. But people will be asked to believe
now that Mr.. Croker is "out of it," that
Tammany really has a new leader, and that
the organization is being put in condition
meriting public confidence. Will the people
believe 1t? Will they accept Mr. Nixon as
being more than mask, to be thrown aside
by Tammany at a safe season?
The Low administration is entitled to the
support of the reputable people of New
York on its merits. Tammany under Mr..
Croker had forfeited all respect Tam
many under Mr.. Nixon would at least be a
risk, VIII the people take that risk two
years hence? We shall see. 1t depends a
great deal upon how skillfully Mr.. Nixon
plays his part, with the aid of suggestions

The pendulum swings to and fro
So slow they go! So slow! So slow!

Adown the sun-kissed stream of time,
With silken sails of love and rhyme.

GETS A HUSTLE ON
ASSEMBLY BUSHES THROUGH RES
OLUTION FOR PURCHASE OF
DAVIDSON PROPERTY
WAS HELD BACK FOR MONTHS
DiIatory Tactics of Legal Depart
ment May Yet Forfeit City's Right
to Purchase Under Condemns
nation Proceedings.

When the budget was compiled the
sum of $4,000 was inserted for the pu1'-
pose of acquiring the Davidson tract on
jackson street, condemned a year ago
for market purposes
Presumably for POLITICAL though sunex-
planned reasons. the resolution ordering
the money paid, providing a clear title
was given, was not introduced in the
council by the legal department until
last night, in the assembly. Sunday night
at IL o'clock the right to acquire under
the condemnation proceedings would have
expired, and in order to get through the
full course of legal procedure some rush
tactics will have to be INDUCED In by
the board.
Because of legal difficulties attending
the acquisition of the ground on which
stands the Cook barn, the owners having
contested the city's right to condemn.
the council was reluctant to purchase
the Davidson tract, which is farther
north. In the leveling of the ground
now paved, however, the contractors, at
the instance of the engineering depart
ment, so it is claimed, dumped the dirt
on the Davidson tract. Asked to remove
it, or buy the property, the council re-
belled, but later, seeing that the ground
would be needed, gave the order for pur-
chase. In these proceedings Alderman
boomer was an active participant and
at times the division on the question as
sumed a political aspect
When the resolution came up last night
Assemblyman Wheeler wanted it sent to
the streets, and so argued at length, but
the remainder of the members refused
to come to his aid, and the resolution
was passed. In order to get the reso-
luton through q special meeting of the
board will have to be held this evening
and the document hurried to the mayor
for signature SO it can be given legal
publication the following morning.
Between delays and the cost of con-
demnation proceedings. an expense OF
nearly $1,090 has been incurred. Ii fur

The members Of the joint market COM
mittee say the purchase of the additional

The section of ground on which stands
the Cook barn, and which was included
in the strip condemned for market pur-
poses, is still in court. The eity's right
to acquire it was sustained by the SUI
preme court, The owners threaten to

CAL GERMAN VETERANS.

Col. A. r. Kiefer, of the German-Amer-
lean Veterans union, has received the
following letter from Congressman Nc
Cleary:
your valued favor of recent date, In
closing-a copy of the memorial relative to
the erection of q statue in honor of
Baron Steuben, who was SO successful in
the Revolutionary war in organizing OUT
of the forces in the field an army, reach
ed me in due season.
Please say to your associates in this
movement that it will give me pleasure

is a statue now to the Marquis de La

HAVE PAID THEIR RENT
WEST SIDE MANUFACTURERS SAY
THEY HAVE RECEIPTS.

The Waterous Engine company and
the Gedney Picking company, -.olders CT
West Side levee leases, have reported
to the city legal department. that they
hold rent receipts showing IT, their
rent is paid in full. The rent arrearag e
compiled by the department was taken
from statement furnished by the city
treasurer. Some of the members of the
assembly last night were inclined to think
that the amounts paid had been credited
to a wrong fund, hence the mistake.
The assembly committee on streets next
week will wrestIe with the question of
obligating all holders of city contracts
to employ union labor. Newman & Hoy
are the lowest bidders for the painting of
the Fort Smelling bridge, but at the in
stance Of the painters union last night,
approval was withheld until the commit
tee could investigate. The legal depart
ment holds that no such obligation can
be imposed by the city; neither can the
council turn down bid if it is the lowest,
should the parties refuse to employ the
class Of labor demanded.
At the request of E. E. Berresford and
others the final order for the paving Of
Robert street from Eighth on was killed
and q new order introduced. The owners
want brick. The board of public works
says this material is not fit for heavy
grades and refuses to put it in the speciti-
cations.
