PUBLIC OWNERSHIP IN NEW
YORK

A larger degree of municipal own
ership exists in New York than is
known. New York owns more of it's
public utilities than almost any other
city in the country, though it is far
behind a number of European cities
in the control of monopolieS. New
York, for instance, owns the docks
and ferries which connect the differ
ent parts of the city, to a large extent.
1t owns over 400 miles of water front
and upward of 800 piers. This depart
ment has expended since it was Or
ganized s51,000,Oo0 and has received
s52.000,0 900. 1t mas reclaimed 1910
city lots from the sea in addition to
building some of the largest and fast
est ferries in the world.
The street cleaning department of
New York owns two garbage inciner-
ators, which save to the city 80 cents
cubic yard over the cost of dumping
the waste in the sea. 1t will soon have
twelve of these incinerators scattered
through the city, and they in addition
to reducing the waste economically.
Will furnish the power to light num-
Der of streets, public buildings and
parks with electricity. The present
commissioner of street clearing prom

brushes rivals relentlessly or kills
them by the slower torture of starva-
ton. The mere fact that a rival sex-
lists is reason enough for killing him.
Mr.. Rockefeller is a law unto himself.
Is it wonder that he is hated, feared
and admired? There are in the
jungles of South America two animals
who typify Sage and Rockefeller. The
anteater has a long snout Of disgust
ing appearance which it pokes here
and there, industriously picking up
every form of life which it can suck
in. Hanging from the branches of a
nearby tree is boa constructor,
which lets down it's awful folds upon
the passing quadruped and crushing
it in an embrace of death proceeds
calmly to swallow and digest at a
meal what would serve the anteater
lifetime. The one is Sage, the other
Rockefeller.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-08-26
SAGE AND ROCKEFELLER

The New York Press is uncharitable
enough to remark that the more the
people learn about Mr.. Rockefeller the
less they dislike Russell Sage. Sage,
it explains, is an ideal American money
grubber. He would not for his life
charge less than the going rate of in
tereSt nor could he prevail upon nim-
self to let up on any unfortunate who
owed him money. Yet Mr.. Sage is not
hated as Rockefeller is hated. The
public holds him in a certain contempt
and rather enjoys making its little
jokes at his expense. 1t would not take
his money away from him if it could.
On the other hand it has an active
grudge against Rockefeller and would
strip him if it had the power.
Mr.. Rockefeller's defenders, usually
clergymen of picturesque sympathies,
claim that Rockefeller's only crime has
been success. This the Press denies
and points to the success of Sage as
a demonstration that a man may pile
up much money in the ordinary ways
in America without rousing antagon-
ISM Rockefeller is hated, therefore
it must be not because of his success,
because OIL tHc IHcluOUS ny WHICH uS
commanded success.
The distinction between Sage and
Rockefeller is one of difference and
not of degree. One could not imagine
Mr.. Rockefeller repudiating his obli-
cations as Sage has done, nor Sage
originating a plan to circumvent the
laws of tie country as Rockefeller has
done Such men as Sage come and
go and they 10 the world no good and
very little harm. Such men as Rookie
Teller come but seldom and their
coming heralds vast changes in the
condition of men. Rockefeller in his
business lifetime has destroyed the
old way of doing business. He has
substituted combination for competi-
ton; secrecy for publicity; mendacity
for truth; bribery for brains. He buys
lawyers who buy for him laws: he

Of the city. The city extended it's
credit to the enterprise to the amount
of s70,000,000. On this amount the
city gets back from the operators of
the subway Az per cent annually, 81
per cent interest and l per cent to go
into a sinking fund to retire the bonds.
A further provision of the contract
with the city is that at the end Of fifty
years the city will have the first sub
way returned to it in fee simple.
The water department Of New York
represents a value of $123,000.0O0. 1t
returns a small profit to the city over
and above the annual interest charge
of 100000 on it's bonds.
So New York feels that it has made
something Of a start in municipal
ownership, and contemplates some
thing additional by going into the
lighting business for itself.

 MT. Nelson said the real desire is to place the officers in a position to get not only their full pay, but also an ad- ditional $2.OOO or $3.OOO from the states. That is the germ of the sen ator's contention" referring to MT. Lodge. The latter replied that Gen eral Miles is getting no pay from the s>ate of Massachusetts; that he had refused it.

 In connection with the provision for the support of a provisional regiment of native troops in Porto Rico, Mir Clay called attention to the fact that Secretary Root had recommended the of that regiment. Mir Proctor replied that Mir. Root subse- quently had changed his mind and had urged the retention of the regiment. The reading of the bill was concluded, but, without acting on it. the senate took up the private pension calendar and passed q large numbe of bills.

The Objectionable Cutting Off Provision in Senate
MR. LODGES OPPOSITION
A COwaFdIy Blow, He Says, Aimed at the General While Other Senators Defend the Provision Saying That They Had not Thought of Miles.

Washington. D. C., Jan. 25.-In con uection with the consideration of the army appropriation bill, there was an animated discussion today in the sen .te of the assignment of General Miles l1 service in charge of the NIassachu- SgtLs state militia. The controversy Was begun by 1Ir. Lodge who criti- cIsed in sharp language the provision ur the army bill prohibiting the award of extra pay or allowances to retired officers assigned to active service when they exceed those of ma jor in the aC- tive list. Mir. Lodge declared that the provision was directed at General Niles and was most unfair.
 lIessrs- Lodge, Proctor. Platt of Con recticuJ, Spooner. Bailey. Patterson. Carmack and Money took part in the debate which followed. Messrs. Spoon ar. PIatt and Money cOntended that the suactment would have the effect of limiting the salaries of all retired of lcers assigned to active duty to a ma 50rship regardless of rank. MT. Spoon rr contended that the paragraph was an indirect effort to prevent the as signment to active service of general officers and denounced it as "cOw- ardIy." Several amendments were suggested. but action on them and on the provision went over for the day. Some 200 pension bills were passed.

A CACHE OF JEWELRY
The Work of the Pasadena Hotel Bell
 Boys.

Pasadena, Cal, Jan. 25.-AnOther lot of jewels, valued at $5,000, supposed to have been stolen by the trio of hO tel thieves now in the Pasadena jail, has been recovered by the local police. It was found in a secluded spot on Kekwan Lake Wash. at a distance from the club house of the Pasadena Country club on South Lake avenue, by Captain Muslin. The jewelry con sisted of a valuable jeweled watch, d number of sClitaires, one ring with large twin pearl settings and other articles.
 The information on which the find was made was given to the police by John Morgan. one of the young men now in jail, who was frightened by the statements made by another one of the bell boys at the hotel, who had in some way obtained knowledge of the matter Morgan, when confront ed with the statement of the other boy, admitted that he had buried the jewel ry and told the police where it could be found. The spot was located with out difficulty and the jewels were dug up. Morgan refused 10 tell where they came from.

ments from full pay was reached. MT. Lodge moved to strike it out. saving that it was aimed at General Miles. who had taken an office in connection with the militia of Massachusetts. He denounced the provision as unjust cs- peciajly in it's retroactive feature. He would admit, he said, that the pay or a lieutenant general which would be received by General Miles is large. but 1T he was to do active duty in the mill iua, there was no reason why he should not be paid for it. q do not think he said, that it is becoming or desirable to pass such legislation as this and make it retroactive" He re asserted his opinion that the provision is aimed at specific officer. and ex- pressed his regret that the committee on military affairs had not stricken the provision out.
 Mr. Spooner thought that the pro vision should be omitted from the bill because it was wrong in principle He did not agree with Senator Lodge that il is necessarily aimed at General Miles Tt is" he said. "a cowardIv way of preventing the reassfgnment of officers to active duty It affects a class and is not necessarily aimed at any individual"
 AHr. Patterson announced his en- dorsemeut of the provision except tn so far as iu was retroactive. He sug- Eested an amendment making it aD- plicable only to the future He said he had been informed that in tender ing the position at the head of the Massachusetts militia to General Miles. Governor Douglas had volunteered compensation from the state. which had been declined by the general. He understood that there were only about thirteen retired officers now detailed for military service. MT. Proctor said the number was about thirty. and he gave a list of the states to which such assignments had been made, including Colorado. "The militia of Colorado is not very large, but it is very active" said Mir. Patterson. causing a smile throughout the senate.
 0Ir. Bailey made an argument against any pay to retired officers. He did not believe. he. said, that the pro vision was meant to cover the case of General Miles.
 NIr. Scott gave assurances that the senate committee on military affairs had no. one person iE mind when the para graph was adopted. MT. Proctor suggested the following substitute for the house provision: That hereafter retired officers of the army above the grade of major shall, when assigned to active duty in connection with the or Eanized militia in the several states and territories on request of the gov C-uor thereof. receive their full retired pay and also communication of quarters, unless government quarters are avail able. and shall receive no further pay allowance; provided that lieutenant col9nels so assigned shall receive the full pay and allowances of major on the active list
 MT. Fulton contended that the does not remedy the evil and Mir. Lodge said it had the effect Of perfecting the injustice Of the pro vision. Tt shows more clearly than

It Is Expected That Blood Will Flow
 Today.

Vienna. Jan. 25.--The parliamentary elections which VII begin in Hungary tomorrow CThursday) are expected to take place amid scenes of riOting and bloodshed Unequalled in any previous campaign.

Stockton, CaIif. Jan. 25.-A number of persons hurt and a car thrown off the track are results of a train acci- dent on the Santa F'e this morning at Blum, forty-five miles west of Stockton.
 The dense fog prevailing was partly responsible for the accident No. 41, carrying passengers for San Francis co. left here at 9:2O this morning, No. 6 leaving San Francisco at 7:3O.
