we ask the legislature at Albany that favorable
action be taken on the Elsberg bill now pending in
the Senate. which measure provides that in the
future construction of tunnels for rapid transit the
city shall retain control Of them when completed

SURPRISING, SAYS CIRCUIT.
Declares N. Y. JuUenile 4syIum'a
attitude Is Revolutionary.

Controller Grout gave out statement yesterday
about the recent decision of the New York Juvenile
Asylum not 10 receive Hebrew or colored children
in its institution He said in part:
1t is surprising 1t is contrary to the attitude
of private charitable institutions as to be reyolu
tonary.
As institutions have developed. greater care has
been exercised so that there very few Catholic
children except in institutions Of their faith The
Hebrews and the colored people have no reforma-
tory of their own for delinquent children. and
the Hebrew orphan asylums for Deepen dent chill
dren insufficient to shelter their own The
Juvenile Asylum has. therefore taken both classes
of Hebrews, deinquents and dependents without
objection, and II seems TO that as the institu-
ton is almost entirely maintained by public funds
this is no time for discrimination. The hills of
this institution passed in my Office during the last
year aggregated more than 100000 and l Shall take
the position that the city should refuse TO main
tain any children al all in this institution ~ this
discrimination is enforced.
President Tiff of the Board of Education who is
secretary of the New York Juvenile Asylum said
last night that when Controller Grout talked of
discrimination he was doing it simply political
effect. The people, he said who were being dis
crmlnated against by the Controller We're the ones
who had brought about the separation. For a long
time several prominent Hebrews in complete har-
mony with the New-York Juvenile Asylum have
been planning to build Hebrew Orphanage
which has been made necessary by the great in
crease of Hebrew immigrants.

tugs. The supply is not equal to the demand
and the owners Of available boats receiving
high prices. as the competition Is brisk 1t is

offered $50 an hour for tugs. and was unable
TO get a sufficient number at that price.
In the North River the ferryboats ran behind
their schedules from ten 10 thirty minutes.

her Brooklyn slip. caught IN an ice JAM
and before she could be extricated, was frozen
in. Her passengers were removed in tugs and
landed on the Brooklyn shore again. The tug
c. p Raymond, towing barge. is frozen in the

barge have deserted the vessels. They walked
ashore on the ice. They reported that the ice
was thick enough TO support team OF horses.

in the ice off whitestone. Five tugs which were
trying 10 pull her out had not succeeded late in
the afternoon.
