BAKER REBUKEs BALTIMORE & OHIO
Representative in Rejecting Pass Attacks
the Company

Representative Baker. of Brooklyn. has made
public HIS correspondence with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad the subject OF railroad passes In
reply to letter sent from the company stating
the regulation under which annual passes sent
to members-elect of Congress when the Congress TO
which they were elected had convened had been
modified and that thereafter passes would be sent
to members living in the company's territory the
July l following their election. Mr.. Baker sent a
letter in which he charges the company with being
an ''nstigator of official misconduct" Mr.. Baker
says that If the pass is offered either in hope that it
will lead him to conserve what your company re-
CARDS as its rights regardless of the rights the
people, or In the fear that il he should receive
1t he would "harass and annoy the company.
either view would constitute a reflection the
integrity OF my actions, which 1 reject" He then
states his reasons for giving publicity to the cor
respondence. and closes
1t Is frequently asserted that railroad and other
special privilege corporations forced to COM
ply with demands from legislators for these and
other peCuniary favors. and that were II not for
such blackmatl (as the companies term it the COM
paneS would not brtbe officials In View Of this
ofclal action of your company in rendering these
passes without solicitation. and apparently on a
wholesale scale, those who have heretofore regarded
your company possibly a victim must now revise
their opinion and regard 1t instigatOr of off,
cal misconduct.

The plan conceived by Thomas Hastings the
architect, for relieving congestion at Fifth-ave.
and Forty -second-st. by depressing Forty-second-
st. and carrying Fifth-ave. over the depressed
street on a handsome bridge, came up officially
yesterday before the Murray Hill local board

thinks that depressing Forty y-second-st according
10 his plan. will solve the congestion problem at
that point
At yesterdays hearing several property owners
spoke in opposition to the scheme, saying that
the cost of the Improvement might prove to be
several million dollars.

St, said that he had been affected financially
by every Improvement Forty-second-s+ that
he had several times been the verge of ruin.
he declared that there necessity for the
proposed Improvement, and emphaticay declared
that II Fl decided upon il would certainly
mean his financial ruin. Mr. Hastings admitted
that It might be an expense TO the property
owners. but that eventually il would be a benefit

PL4TT TRIED TO HELP HIM
Senator Indorsed Letter in Behalf OF
NaUg Yard EnlpLOye.

Rear Admiral Rodgers. commandant OF the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. recently received an en-
velope franked by Senator Platt. containing
letter written to Mr. Platt by a friend of ROD
ert Kears. a helper employed in the yard stating
how badly Kears had been used there. Inclosed
was also a diplomatic Endorsement from Sena-
tor Platt saying he hoped what could be done
would be done. The letter to the Senator was
written some time ago. and the envelope was
addressed to Rear Admiral Barker through
mistake. The Senator evidently thought that
Admiral Barker was still commandant OF the
navy yard On account of this mistake the
papers in the case were sent across the
ocean to Admiral Barker. and were remailed TO
Brooklyn by him.
Kears has forfeited his job by staying out OF
the navy yard longer than the period allowed.
He was employed in the equipment department
as helper at 81 a day. He was discharged IN
December last at his own request, and again
in February not at his request, but was rein
stated after both discharges. 1t has peen
thought that his political influence was lnstru-
mental in his getting back. Among the opJec-
tions' he made to his work was that he was
compelled to clean out spittoons, and 1t IS SAID
that, by direction from Washington, he was no
longer compelled to clean spittoons.
In the politics of the Xth Assembly District
Kears is well known, and is reputed to have IN
fuence with Frank Platt, son of Senator Platt.
II is believed that the man who wrote the let
ter for him to the Senator was William Z. Phil
lips his Assembly District leader.
Captain Manney, head of the equipment de-
partment of the navy yard, said yesterday that
the latest discharge was not at Kears's request.
When Captain Manney was asked If there was
any way in which Kears might obtain his rein
statement he replied that it might be done II
Kears brought a doctors certificate showing
that he had been Ill

Laundering Dainty Fabrics.

The laundering Of embroidered linens
requires almost as much skill as does
the manufacture Of the dainty fabrics.
Carelessness in this respect may In
few minutes ruin weeks Of work. An
embroidered piece should never be put
in with the regular wash. In fairly hot
water and q light suds Of some pure
soap dip the soiled piece quickly sew
eral times. If it be necessary with any
one spot, rub it gently between the
hands. but avoid a general rubbing, as
this is apt to disarrange the smooth
surface Of the most evenly set stitches.
Rinse thoroughly in cold. clean water.
To dry, lay it between two towels or
thick line cloths and roll loosely in such
q way that no part Of the embroidery
shall touch any other part Of the piece.
Never fold or hang mp wet piece o1,
embroidery nor leave 1t In little damp

Hor.e Sense About Peach Growing.

In a late issue of the National Stock
man John +. Boyer gives some points
Oh peach culture, that every observant
person who has had experience VIII
fully indorse. He says:
The production of the peach can be
obtained in the sands Of Florida, and
in the icy cline of the far north. Yet
we would no. expect the best results
in such extremes. The climate should
be free from all dangerous frosts, but
it is not. We get very nervous on cold
nights late in spring when the tenn
perature is likely to fall below the
freezing point. The only and safest
way to grow peaches is to locate our
orchards Oh hills where there Is more
of an equal temperature.
The man is the most important ele-
ment; he can cause failure when the
most favorable conditions surround
him.
The man himself should have an iron
constitution, he must use his brains,
he must know chemistry in order to
know what element Of plant food IS
removed from the soil. Otherwise the
soil may become exhausted and cause
failure under most favorable condi-
tions. He must like and have conf
dence in the business, he must be able
