Blow at Asphalt MonopoIv.

A dispatch from Albany last night says
A bill which strikes a serious blow at the
asphalt company of which former Police
Commissioner Francis Vinton Greene was
proud to say he was the head was intro
duced today by>Assemblyman Bostwick, re-
publican, and is intended to put an end to
the monopoly that the Barber Asphalt Com
pany now enjoys in New York city, where
asphalt pavements are to be laid.
Under an old provision of the charter it
was provided that no bids could be re-
ceived for an asphalt pavement where pat
ented articles We're used in the material.
Commissioner Wilcox was advised to ig-
more the charter and advertise for bids for
an asphalt pavement in which the specii-
cations were not the same as the charter
provided for.
The Barber Asphalt-~Company objected
and the matter was taken into the courts,
the contention of the company being up
held. The only way to get around the
charter is to have the provision repealed
and this is practically what Mr.. Bostwick' S
bill does, as it permits bids to be received
for pavements where the articles ARE pat
ented.

Choir Boys Defy a Rector.

Rev. d. Parker Morgan. D. D., of the
Church of the Heavenly Rest has a choir
boys strike on his hands. Until last Sunday
afternoon DR.. Morgan seemed to have as
sumed that this strike was a joke. Three
small boys. the oldest of them nine years
old informed him sternly at that time
however. that the matter was serious and
demanded immediate attention.
DIR. Morgan and the other authorities of
the church are now wondering whether ii
would be inconsistent with their dignity to
ask for police protection for the non-strik-
ing members of the choir. Dire violence
has been threatened for the two sopranos
who refused to abide by the action of the
mai jority last Sunday.

Subway to Open Before June /.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: 1t was learned yesterday that the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company is
planning to open the subway for traffic
before the middle of June. The system will
be operated on the upper West Side as far
as 157th street, and on the East Side to the
Harlem river at 141st street. There will be
a gap In the system between 141st street
and 149th street on the opposite side of the
Harlem, but this will not prevent the COM
pany from operating the easterly branch
of the road from 10th street north to the
upper Bronx. 1t is probable that passen-
gers will be transferred from the upper
Bronx to the Sd avenue elevated at l49th
street until the tunnel under the Harlem is
completed
Two of the seven giant dynamo engines
at the 59tA street and 11th avenue power
plant will be ready for business by May l.
There are seven engines in ALL and of
course, the road cannot be operated to its
full capacity until more power units as
they are called, are ready for duty

Illinois in for Repairs.

A dispatch from New York last night
says:
The battle ship Illinois, whose stern was
badly damaged in a collision with the bat
tie ship Missouri during the maneuvers off
Culebra about two weeks ago, arrived al
the navy yard in Brooklyn yesterday morn
ing. Only her watertight compartments
according to Capt. Bradford, her COM
mander, saved, the big fighting machine
from sinking. 1t is thought that her inju-
ries are of a very serious character and are
likely to keep her on the dry dock for sew
eral months
From a superficial examination made by
the officers of the ship 1t is evident that the
damage includes besides the big hole be-
low the water line, disabled shaft and
propeller. The battle ship will go into dry
dock tomorrow
The officers and men of the Illinois are
confident that their vessel was not to blame
for the accident. 1t is alleged that the
steering gear of the Missouri became dis
abled The big vessels were swinging into
line and the men of the Illinois say that
the collision could have been avoided if the
Missouri had signalled that she was in dis
tress The Missouri's bow struck the stern
of the Illinois a slantng blow just as the
latter was veering away.

BACTERIA ON MONEY.
Result of Experiment by the New York
Board of Health,


A dispatch from New York last night SAYS:
DR.. Thomas Darlington, commissioner of
health. today made public here the report
or the contamination of metal and paper
money by disease bacteria which he sub
mitted yesterday to the House committee
Oh banking and currency at Washington.
The report is the result of experiments con-
Quoted by DR.. William H. Park, bacteri-
ologist in the research laboratory of the
department of health and it holds a warn
the mouth.
1t shows that while the metal in coins pos
sesses antiseptic properties infected coins
may spread disease If distributed within a
few hours after contamination. The expert
mentS with paper money will not be COM
pleted for several weeks, but the inveStiga-
tion so far has established the fact that
paper money contains no substance which
VIII kill bacteria.
The results of this experiment showed
that the copper. nickel and silver coins had
distinct antiseptic properties The expert
ment was then tried of dropping coins in
broth and after twenty hours inoculating
the fluid with bacteria the copper and nickel
coins made the bouillon strongly antiseptic
while the silver did SO only to slight ex-
tent.
The investigation so far has established
that bacteria are not killed by any sub
sance in paper money, but remain alive until
time and drying destroy them. No actual
disease bacteria have yet been demon
strated.
The experiments with paper money are
being continued, and 1t will be necessary to
inoculate animals with the bacteria taken
from the bills before II can be determined
whether such money carries germs which
produce contagious diseases. more eX-
tended and conclusive report on this sub
tect will be made when DR.. Park finishes his
inVeSt StigatiOnS.

NATIVES TORTURE SETTLERS.
German Officers Course in Dealing
With Natives Strongly Criticised.

cablegram from Berlin last night says
Letters from German Southwest Africa
have arrived here giving details of the
ghastly treatment of. German settlers, 113
of whom were killed outright or tortured
to death In the district of Okahandja alone.
Women outraged and dismembered, with
pieces of their bodies nailed to the doors of
houses. and boys mutilated and left to die
slowly were frequent spectacles. The ex-
peditionary columns on coming in sight of
a farmers house, would see the heads of
It's former occupants fastened to the roof
These sights appear to have excited the
rage of the soldiers. The letters express
longings for revenge and a determination
as one writer says, Ito kill everything
black" That causes some papers to urge
the government to telegraph instructions
to Col Leutwein, the governor of German
Southwest Africa that he order the SOL
diers to restrain themselves and conduct
the war in civilized manner
Col. Leutwein himself comes in for criti-
cism. as it Is alleged that he left insuffi-
cient numbers of troops in the exposed
districts and was misled by the temper of
the natives, having frequently had at his
own table chiefs who now in rebellion
and who wearing decorations and
swords of honor bestowed on them by the
governor in behalf of the emperor The
Tageblatt intimates that Col. Leutwein will

to take care of themselves. l do not think,

the death rate is always to be considered,
