District on a charge OF violating the law in having

6ulivans Jealous OF the growing power OF Mr.
March as the Italian-AmeTican leader Of this city
had had good deal to do with the arrest.
The Italians last fall broke away from Tammany

the first things TO 90 was 20 humiliate Mr. March
Il could not Be definitely learned last night that
the SulliVans brought about the arrest OF Mr..
March, but the theory that they did was readily
accepted all around the East Side.
The arrest was made on warrant by Magistrate
Cornell at the instance OF Commissioner Keating
who contends THAI Mr.. March has a contract with
The Erie Railroad Company to supply laboreEs and
that he has done so for twenty-five years. It IS
also alleged that March obtains from each q Zee
greater than allowed by law. Modesto MaccaEri,
detective IN Commissioner Keatings Office got
the evidence.
Mr.. March said that he had made application
Cor license and was anxious 10 abide by the law.
but declared he had received no reply to his ap-
Dlication He told Magistrate Cornell that he
would get out license at once. Counsel Steinert
told the court this would be satisfactory and the

CAUSES OF INSANITY.
Ones GiUen in Springfield.
Which Has Large Percentage.

Springfield, Mass. April IA CSpeciaD.-This city
Is about the craziest town in the Common
wealth OF Massachusetts,, according to the Sec
retary of the State Board OF Insanity, DR.. Owen
Copp Boston is the only city which outstriPs
It in the percentage OF the insane. Boston has
one insane person TO every 7S4. and Springfield
has one insane person to every S62. Physicians
ministers and the city fathers are trying to
figure out the cause.
Municipal problems. of course" said the
Mayor, in discussing the subject. We've surely
got enough OF 'em to drive man insane" and
he named of on his fingers. Water problem,
bridge problem. new city hall problem. river
drive problem, Court Square extension problem
and school problem
"a religious mania takes possession OF the
greater number" says the city marshal, but
my experience does not convince me that
Springfield IS growing any better on that ac-
count or trying to become a model city. Just
as many drunks forgers. frebugs. ETC., as there
ever were
The police matron says the greater part Of
those sent to the insane asylum are women.
and is inclined to attribute this fact TO poor
domestics and an overdose OF clubs.
Malaria" say the physicians. ''The city
IS chock full OF malaria and the crazy bug does
his best work in a field prepared for him by
malaria
immortality shout the ministers. and they
point TO the bill boards where gay girls dance
the ballet and drink foaming drinks from long
glasses. Besides. the city will not raise
hand to be saved, and that shows something
is wrong with it's citizens" and they point sadly
TO the last revival 1zzle
Flats" say the real estate men, This is
no longer city OF homes it's city Of apart
ment houses. and any who lives in a fiat
knows how easy it would be to go crazy"
'3eople in this city don't laugh enough" said
country and 1 never saw people smile so little
as in this city. Just watch the faces OF those
who sit opposite you in the street car. Do you
see a goOd-natured, happy expression anywhere?
This city is too blamed serious"
Lack Of enthusiasm" say the sports. mo
horse racing. no basketball no bicycle racing,
no automobile racing, no sport of any kind ex-
cept bum" baseball team-and why, because
the people won't support 'em. Its enough to
make any good sporting man crazy"
III children swell those insane figures" said
a teacher, 81 should say 1t was because they
sprained their brains trying to take in all the
thousand and one different things that are
taught to them. I don't care If teacher.
sometimes I'm actually ashamed at the way PTn
examining those poor childrenS craniums. and
I'm frank TO say that couldn't learn twenty
different things at once myself"
Although Springfield is not proud that It Is
top notcher an insane city, Il Is taking no
steps to exterminate the crazy bug.
