TO TRY LONDON PLAN.
New York Police Will Try to Regulate
 Street Traffic.

NeW 1Ork EOilce w III Try Lo heSu udtS
 Street Traffic.
 New York, March 1S-Captain Piper, second deputy police commissioners, is trying the London pan to regulate traffic on the streets here and at least the truckmen are meek. He assigned Roundsman Daniel Costigan, who has studied the system in London, to the corner of Canal street and Broadway, to teach the four policemen stationed uIate traffic. Five additional rounds men have been detailed to do similar service at other congested corners. It was interesting to watch Rounds man Costigan at work with the new charge. He stood in the center of Broadway at Canal street, and gave signals to his four aides with his whistle. When he whistled once it was the signal to stop the vehicles on Broadway to let those on Canal street move either across Broadway or to turn into Broadway from Canal. When he whistled twice, the vehicles in Ca- nal street had to stop and those in Broadway moved back and forth across Canal or turned into that street.
 To the surprise of Costigan, he found that the hitherto obstreperous truck men were quick to understand the new order of things. They saw that the new code was of material benefit to themselves, and they obeyed the whistle and stood still till ordered to go on.
 Cogtigan and his policemen, how ever, were somewhat hampered by the crowd that gathered to watch their work.

 CHARLES M. SCHWAB HOME.
Denying Some of the Stories Printed
 About His Trip.


 New York, March 1S.-Charles M. Schwab, who returned to New York on the steamer Kronprinz Wilhelm, said in the course of an interview that he never felt so we'll in his life or been so glad to get back to work. He declared he had no intention of resigning the presidency of the steel combination, adding:
 But, of course, don't own the United States Steel Go, and its stock holders choose it's officers"
 When asked regarding his big auto mobile, MT Schwab replied:
 '"The one in which was said to be making a tour of Europe? Oh, I sold that. It was too fierce for me. I am pretty strong, as you see, but that ma- chine was a terror to every chauffeur I had, but I have bought three ma- chimes and they will be here pretty soon.'
 ''what about that phantom yacht of yours that was making such remark able speed on le Swiss lake?' MT Schwab was asked.
 That was a neat little steam launch that I hired for few days. It's re- markable speed was only part of the pnantaSmagOr1a that have surrounded my journey and given the trip its bizzare character
 ''Your cruise in MT Drexel's yacht Margharita was real was 1t not?"
 Indeed, it was-the most delightful reality of my life. We all enjoyed the Mediterranean, but a great many ab- surb things were said about that cruise. We did not go up the Nile, and our itinerary does not call for special no- tice."
 Referring to his observations in Eu- rope, MT Schwab said:
 T made this trip to study nature. I must say, however, that there is great commercial activity in some parts of Europe Germany, for example, as well as France. This is not the only manu- featuring nation in the world, and the sooner we realize that the better"

HARRY GREENBERG DEAD.
Match Seller Known to Nearly Every
 One in Town.


 One in Town.
 Harry Greenberg, the well known match peddler, died yesterday after noon at his home, 25 Bronson street, from the effects of a dose of carbolic acid, taken, it is believed, with suicidal intent. About o'clock he went out of the house, stating that he wanted to change bill. It seems he went to Cannon & Webster.s store and bought two ounces of carbolic acid. When he returned he entered the bathroom and remained there until the rest of the family heard him groan, and going in, found him unconscious on the floor. Dr Crane, who happened to be in the neighborhood at the time, was called, but he could do nothing to save him. The empty bottle was discovered in the bath room. The deceased was 21 years old, and was a son of Frank Greenberg, a tailor in the employ of S.. A. Weinstein. Harry was a cripple, but managed to make regular calls at nearly all the offices about the city and also at many private residences in all parts of the town, and seemed to be able to tell just when his customers were in need of a new supply of As1lCuCS. hc .WdS III luOI6IlSlVc l0i- low, who put up with good deal of fooling of one sort and another, and it is thought that he became discouraged and in fit of despondency concluded to end his life, although he is said to have been as cheerful as ever before committing the rash act. Who can tell but that Harry, the match peddler, took the deadly stuff not knowing that ii meant death to him? Anyway, the people of Waterbury will see him nc more with his stock of matches sus pended from strap about his neck nor hear him tell of his experiences in managing to buy his goods at prices to meet the retail market.
 The funeral took place this after noon, with interment in the Jewish cemetery at Mill Plain.

MAsONs WORKED UP
Over Discovery That "Shang" Draper
 Belongs to Order.

Belongs to Order.
 New York, March 18.-Astounding revelations that have followed the dis covery that ''Shang'' Draper had been made Mason, have filled Grand Mas ter Crandall and his associates in the Grand lodge with dismay and indigna- ton. So high does the feeling run be cause of the discovery that Draper is not the only person of his class who has gained admittance to lodges in Manhattan and Brooklyn that it would not be astonishing if the charters of several lodges should be suspended be- fore the end of the week and many ex- pulsions from the fraternity follow.
 Draper, it has been ascertained, is not only master Mason, but also a Royal Arch Mason. As early as last November he was taken into Mount Zion chapter, still representing himself to be a respectable broker. He went in with the first class that took the de grees that month.

People Who Appear Old.

o. S. Warden, in May Success"
 People who appear old must expect to be considered so; and, if they apply for positions with every appearance that sem ility has struck them, and that they have gone to seed, they cannot expect favor able consideration. If gray-haired appli- cants for positions would only appreciate the value of appearances, and would brace up" when they seek situations go well groomed and well dressed, with elastic steps, showing that they still pos sess fire, force, and enthusiasm-they would eliminate an obstacle greater than their gray hairs. We think ourselves into incapacity by looking for signs of age and dwelling on them, and the body fol- lows the thought. We should, therefore, avoid the appearance of age in every pos sible way, by dress, carriage, conversa- tion, and especially by our attitude to- ward people and things. It Is not difficult to preserve the buoyancy and freshness of youth, but it must be done by con- stant effort and practice. musician who expects to make only one or two inn portant appearances a year must keep up his practice. Youthfulness cannot be put on for day if old age has had a grip on you for months. It is important to pre- serve the fire of youth as long as pos sible to carry freshness and vigor into old age by keeping up a hearty interest in everything that interests youth. Many

i, jail and the iron sapped his electricity away to a considerable extent though it made 1t uncomfortable for the other pris- oners in his row. When they brought him out for trial the bailiff wore mackin- tosh and rubber gloves, but they were hardly necessary.
 The trial was short. They proved that this electricity was a sort of concealed weapon and that Job was a dangerous man to be allowed to live. He got murder in the first degree.
 When they went to electrocute him the electrician put on just about four times the current and shot it into Job. Job just drew a long breath and smiled. He had been drained of electricity so long that he was weak and this bolt was only like a drink of whiskey to him. The electri- clan doubled the current and gave him another dose. Job only strengthened up in his chair and closed his eyes in ecstacy. The electrician turned on all the power he had and poured it into Job. A stream of 1 sparks began to shoot from him, but that was all. It never phased him. The elec-
 trieian was puzzled and he was aggra- vated too. He studied a long time and then a happy idea struck him.
 ''Pll be dinged if I don't fix you this timei" he said. and he went out and started the machine backwards.
 That finished Job.
 When they laid him out in his coffin he was as dry of electricity as an old gum shoe, but by the time he got home to his widow he had accumulated until they had to put glass handles on his coffin to pro- tect the pallbearers.
 Mrs. Hominy was a sensible-minded wo- man and she couldn't see any use iD wasting Job, so she had him buried under the house and ran wires down to him. | Job lighted the place and ran the sewing and washing machines and other contrap- | tions for nearly three years after that. | But one day the widow got married and 1 guess 1t Tiled up Jobs ghost so that he got his wires crossed or something like that. Anyway the house burned down the night
 of the wedding and the widow sold the lot and moved away. She left Job behind when she went and people don't bother around that lot much after night, now.

ly recognizes and sanctions ownership Of the securities of competing roads by men who have committed themselves to har- monious operation of the properties This does not put the owners Into antagonism. No court can compel them to enter into disastrous competition. The decision or the Circuit court simply puts upon them the onus of finding a legal way of living in amity.
 If the Supreme court sustains this view of the law and the decision affects other existing combinations resulting from common ownership of competing compa- nies some very nice problems will arise in attempting to carry out the order to restore the securities of constituent com panies to their original holders Mean- while we seem to be rapidly approaching the interesting situation arising from put ting an irresistible force into conflict with an immovable body.

 Dissolution of the holding company will restore the original organization of these railways. and their securities, which were exchanged for those of the holding company, will be returned to the individ- ual stockholders. A majority of these shares will remain In the possession Of men who believe that their interests and those of the country are best served by operating the three railways in harmony. A United States Circuit Court of Appeals has decided that the method that Iaey adopted for doing this is in conflict with the sherman antitrust law At the same time 1t explicitly orders return of the securities of the three holders to the original owners, the men who devised the working plan which has been found ille- gal.

The Kaiser Seldom In Plain Clothes.

From the London Express.
 Few Germans have seen the kaiser in plain clothes. Yet he does wear them sometimes, but only when it Is absolute ly necessary. for he prefers uniform, even at home The time he is in mufti In Berlin is when he goes to his tennis court. He then wears a white flannel suit, but out of doors covers it with a military cloak. When he Is in England. however, multi is the rule. This is'sassu. the only time that anybody has ever seen the kaiser in a dinner jacket or black dress coat.
 Formerly the kaiser ordered all his plain clothes from England. browns and light grays being his favorite colors. but now he orders everything In Berlin and PoLsdam mostly in the latter place.
