SHUNS QUO WARRANTO
FOUR MONTHS SINCE ELECTION
AND NOTHING DOING.

No stone was to he Left Unturned in the
Enort TO Show That He WA Elected
May0r-Democrats Begin to Say That
IT'S Time He Showed Mayer His Proofs.
-Four months nave passed since election
day." said a Democrat at the Manhattan
Club last night whose battles for the Demo-
cratic party in the State entitle him to
speak, and William r. Hearst has not
made application to the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of the State for leave to bring quo war
ranto proceedings in an effort to prove his
charges Of fraud at the municipal election
in November.
ave Democrats feel that Mr.. Hearst
should either fish or cut bait. If wholesale
fraud was committed at the election it
would be an easy matter for him TO get the
evidence on which to make application to
Acknowledgement Mayer.
"We haven't heard anything Of late
either as to the fate of the Raines recount
bill at Albany. The session Of the Legis-
lature OF course is comparatively young,
but in view of the flourish of trumpets,
the stentorian cries of fraud and wholesale
corruption something ought to be doing
by this time. 1t Is due to Mr.. Hearst's
followers that he either insist upon the
passage of the Raines recount bill or that
he furnish evidence on which to apply to
the Attorney-General for quo warranto
proceedings to Gust Mayor Mcclellan"
Il rave been told to-day continued the
important Democrat who has taken n deep
interest in the whole affair, that Mr.. Hearst
doubts if his evidence is sufficient for a
quo warranto proceeding. The Assembly
Committee on Privileges and Elections has
had a number of sittings In New York city
for the purpose of determining contests
brought by Hearst men in number OF
districts. Up to this time even an unofi-
cial glimpse of the Mayoralty returns in
these Assembly district contests indicates
the legality of McClellan's vote. Notwith-
standing that and Notwithstanding every
thing, Mr.. Hearst should not continue to
Choir ozone. He should do something to
prove to himself and to his followers and
to the citizens everywhere who have read
his charges of fraud that his contention is
right. He cannot give it as a valid excuse
for continuing to assert these charges II
the Republicans fail to pass the Raines re-
count bill. That's a side issue and one
which concerns only those interested in
the Odell- Hea rst deal. Mr.. Hears has his
remedy in law.
He declared on election night that he had
been cheated out Of the Mayors chair
and he asserted that he would leave no
stone unturned now to the law to get
his rights. He has not kept the promise.
He has continued to charge fraud and
wholesale corruption on the part Of Tam
many and, as | said before, here it 10 four
months after election day and Mr.. Hearst
has not resorted to quo warranto proceed
ings. The ACKNOWLEDGEMENT cannot give
his consent to such proceedings unless Mr..
Hears submits to him substantial evidence
on which to base an application. Politi-
cal friends and political adversaries of Mr..
Hearst cannot understand his attitude"

BLOW TWO SAFES IN A NIGHT.
Burglars at YalesviIle, Conn, Shoot at
Citizens Reused by Explosions.

MERIpEN, Conn, March 4.-Four burglars
blew open two safes at Yalesville, a few
miles south of this city, early Saturday
morning. The first safe was in the store
of Barnes Bros. nurseymen. The thieves
got SIS in cash and did 500 damage there.
Some Of the burglars were hurt by the
explosion, for there was blood all over the
interior of the store, on the papers that
were in the safe and on the steps at the
entrance.
Next they tackled the safe in the post
office. Two stood outside the building on
watch. Mrs. Charles Davidson, who lives
over the post office, heard the noise and
put her head through a window to see what
was the matter. Get back, or I'll blow
| YOUR head off, said one of the cracksmen
LAS he pointed a revolver at her.
The explosion awakened G. E. Peck, who
lives next door to the post office. He started
Ito investigate, but he didn't go beyond his
front door when he saw two men pointing
~revolvers at him.
He went in, got his shotgun, raised n
window, and blazed away at the two burg
lars. They returned the fire, some OF the
bullets passing through the window just
above Peck's head. He does not think
that he hit the burglars.
The interior OF the post office was wrecked
and all the glass in the building was broken.
Peck went out the back door, and ran to the
town c~onstable's and got him out OF bed,
but the burglars had disappeared.

Higgins viii Tell the People AbOu H.
@The only real menace to reform legislation
Of the right kind at Albany, said a Repubh-
can State. Senator last night at the Hotel
Manhattan, lis Odell. We all know that.
Gov. Higgins understands the situation.
Odell and the Odell Senator's are breathing
fire and slaughter against legislation which
will right wrongs. Gov. Higgins, more
over is hampered in his selection OF a
Superintendent Of Insurance to succeed
Mr.. Hendricks by Odell and the Odell Sena-
tors. We all know that, too. Twenty-four
State committeeman want Odell out OF the
State chairman's seat at once for the good
Of the party. but we have had to go slow
because the 0dell Senators threaten IL he
is dislodged TO kill all reform legislation
and to refuse to confirm the right man for
Superintendent of Insurance to succeed
Mr.. Hendricks.
1T may be necessary for Gov. Higgins to
take the people OF the State into his conf
denoe on these matters. 1t has been sug-
gested that he adopt such a course. He 10
a Republican and naturally is averse to
speaking out against any member OF his
party, but his patience is being sorely tried
by Republicans who insist that Odell shall
not be disturbed as State chairman II reform
legislation and a successor to Mr.. Hendricks
are to ONE out of Albany at this session OF
the Legislature. The constituents of these
Odell Senator'S wouldn't tolerate such a
stand by them did they know how they are
being misrepresented at Albany"
Republicans in town for Sunday had a
few grim words to say on Mr.. Odell's elusory
references to gratitude" at the dinner of
the Albany correspondents. Il once heard
said a Republican of note, "one OF my fellows
speak of Odell as an migrate. checked
that brother, saying to him, You're wrong,
brother. How can one who never had a spark
Of gratitude be an ingrate?' There isn't a
member Of the party organization OF any
prominence since 1893 to whom Odell hasn't
been fearfully ungrateful. All know 1t.
The trouble with Odell is that he's a walking
political corpse and doesn't know it. No
Republican In the State should be troubled
about him or his place as State chairman.
He'll be turned out at the proper time all
right. The vast majority believe II should
be done at once for the sake Of the party
in the coming fight. I'd take the people OF
the State into my confidence were Gov.
Higgins and tell them what's what-all
about the attitude of Odell and the Odell
Senator's as to remedial legislation and other
matters affecting the welfare of the State.
The situation at Albany is Odell, and his
Odell Senator's threaten to block all right
legislation if Odell is displaced az State
chairman before the Republican State con-
vention is held in September Mr.. Odell's
speech at the dinner of the Legislative
correspondents was his Swan Song"

General Manager Oren Root, Jr, said
that the damage would be easily $50 900.
He said a part of the Saturday receipts
from the Thirty-fourth street line was
in the safe in the Offices. The money VIII
be recovered intact, 1t is supposed, as the
freproofed section wasn't badly hurt.
The conductors records and other papers
in the offices were burned up, however.
1.-THE Thirty-fourth street line service
won't be tied up or in any way impaired
said Mr.. Root. "We have lost a good many
of the crosstown line cars but we will put
on cars from other lines, and the arrange
mcnts are such that we can utilize other
barns for these cars very easily"
Deputy Commissioner Bonner had a
word or two to say after the fire on the
subject of fire badges.
"There we're dozens of people within the
fire lines that had no right to be there"
ne said. "They got in the way OF the fire
men and ran the risk of being killed or in
jured. Where they got the badges they
wore / don't know. It's a nuisance that
ought TO be corrected.
The fireboats New Yorker and Mcclellan;
which came up the river on the second
alarm. did a lot toward saving the West
Shore ferry house as well as helping the
land forces in the fight against the burning
barn. The Mcclellan ranged up in a ferry
slip with the New Yorker behind her. Ferry
service was shut of while the fire was going.

NEED or STATE REFcRMATORY
For Misdemeanants 10 Years OF Age and
Over for Upstate Counties.

ALBANY, March 4.-The establishment
Of a State reformatory for male misde-
meanants l6 years of age and over for up
state counties, the same as has been pro-
vided for New York city, is recommended
by the State Prison Commission in its an
nual report to the Legislature. These boys
are now sent to jail or p~enitentiary. Last
year 1918 boys under 10 years Of age were
admitted to Jail and 0 1853 between the ages
Of 10 and 81, while 1911 boys between IS
and 81 were committed to penitentiaries.
Last year 81, 212 young men under 80 wears
of age we're committed to jails and peni-
tentiaries, half of whom were in New York
CITY. The State commission believes that
reformatory influences would save a con-
siderable percentage of these youthful
criminals through giving them an industrial
training and an education in the common
English branches.
The commission re commends that the
indeterminate sentence law be amended
so that all first offender shall be committed
on indeterminate sentences, and that the
interval between the minimum and maxi
mum terms shall not in any case be less than
a year above the statutory allowance for
good behavior.

In the Manhattan and The Bronx districts
of New York city there are six district
prisons, not including the City Prison,
commonly called the Tonbs; also a large
number Of station houses. There were re-
oeived in these six district prisons during
last year se,47l men and iO,2ls women,
Official reports of the City Ma gistrates show
that during last year there were ia, 1921 men
and 3S,304 women arrested in these two
boroughs and arraigned in court charged
with offences. Practically all of these were
compelled to spend some time either in one
of the station houses or district prisons,
More than half OF the persons so arrested
were discharged at the time Of arraign:
ment, there not even being sufficient proof
against them to justify a Magistrate in
holding them for trial. These prisons and
station houses have recently been care
fully inspected by an association Of promi-
nent citizens of the city.
