Csnsested street Tramc.
Deputy Police Commissioner Piper Ia 90
well pleased with the results Of his ex-
pertinent In regulating trafho at Broadway
and Canal street that he intends to try the
same methods In other parts Of the city.
Three roundsmen viii be sent to the Canal
street corner to-day and will remain with
Roundsman Costigan. who Il running the
street school Of instruction. After they've
worked with Costigan the roundsmen will
70 to other crowded corners and superin-
tend the work.
The three roundsmen were told TO station
Themselves o half q block away from the
junction and see that loaded trucks are kept
TO the side Of the street., while the lighter
vehicles stick to the centre.
Another scheme Of Capt. Piper II TO keep
trucks from standing In crowded streets.
He says that the city ordinances forbid .
truck standing by the curb for an unreason-
able time. He will instruct his men TO note
such delays and the driver will then be
reported 70 his employer.

Southerners Want Something Done TO
XIII the Cotton Plant Pest.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-An important
conference was held at the White House
to-day looking to the adoption of measures
that may prevent the ravages of the cot
ton boil weevil, which now menace the cot
ton growing industry OF the South. The
fear is expressed By cotton planters that
unless radical measures are adopted for the
exterminaton OF the pest the loss TO the
cotton growing States will aggregate tens
OF millions OF dollars. The matter was
brought to the attention of the President
to-day by a delegation OF senators and rep
resentatives from every cotton-g growing
State OF the South The members of the
delegation united In a recommendation that
the President present the subject TO Con-
gress with suggestion that an appropria-
ton De made to pay the expenses or a COM
mission appointed to work out plan Tor
the exterminaton Of the boil weevil-
President Roosevelt expressed himself as
deeply interested in the subject, and prom
ised to give 1t earnest consideration de
said he would take up the matter with Sec
rotary Wilson, who recently made trip
through the South to investigate the de-
struction wrought by the cotton pest. Sec
rotary Wilson has said that the only remedy
which suggests itself 10 him Is that the
planters put in their crops early, thus es-
Gaping the ravages of the weevil Planters
OF cotton hold, however, that early plant
ing will not meet the emergency. some
plan, they contend, for the absolute exter-
mination of the pest must be devised 1t
is understood Secretary Wilson Will make
recommendation in his annual report which,
1t is hoped by the cotton growers, will be
carried into execution. 1t Is expected that
the President will approve OF any practi-
cable suggestions that may be made by
Secretary Wilson. In any event he Will do.
1t Is said, all in his power to second the
efforts Of the cotton growers to rid them
selves of the evil.
