THE JIMMY OLIVER CUTOFF.
which Road Is to TAKE Up It's Tracks in
the BOHery Not Clear.

The Albany despatch printed in yester-
DAYS SUN stating that the Assembly Rail-
roads Committee had decided to report
Assemblyrnan Jimmy divers bill ordering
the removal Of two Of the four tracks on
the Bowery was news to the interested
people in this city. Even officers Of the
New York City Railway Company said they
knew nothing Of the proposed bill.
Henry D. Macedonia was inclined to ridi-
cule the measure. He said
1.-TWO Of the tracks on the Bowery are
owned by the Third Avenue Company,
two by the Fourth venue Company. The
Metropolitan leases the tracks from both
companies n has no power to remove
them. The owners would have to do that,
and whichever company was chosen es
the victim would have TO stop at Eighth
street, instead OF running TO the City Hal.
This would naturally force that line to give
poor service.
What the city wants is more street cars,
not less. 1t would be impossible to run
both ines on one set of tracks between
Eighth street and City Hall, for with the
-four tracks the cars are running on only
ten seconds Roadway.
Perhaps the idea is to take one track
from each line and run single track rail-
roads with switches, said Mr.. Macedonia,
growing sarcastic.
mo, the whole idea is crazy. Those
people in Albany who are trying to put
such a bill through know nothing of the
already congeeted condition Of New York
traffic. The proposed scheme would just
double the number Of strap hangers. and
with cars running oil the smallest possible
Roadway people would nave to hang on
the tailboard OF every car during rush
time

The Rev. DR.. John P. Peters, chairman
Of the committee of fourteen, has sent the
members of the committee a statement
urging immediate action in favor of a bill
introduced at Albany for the abolition of
spurious or Raines law hotels. The pro-
posed legislation is on the line Of that at
tempted at the last session providing that
only bona fide hotels shall have hotel Ii
censes, and that the places turned into hotels
by the Raines law or opened as such since
its adoption shall be regularly inspe cted
for determination Of their character before
the issue Of licenses. DR.. Peters says that
the important provision of the bills advo-
Gated last winter wero stricken from them,
and the Amber law, since declared un-
constitutional, passed instead: He re-
minds the committee that similar tactics
will be employed this session unless the
committee is alert and insistent.

SPRING CLOTHING
For the WeU-DreSSed Bow

We've never had a better stock of fine clothing for boys.
We have not only secured the best product of the manufac-
turers famous for ~high-grade clothing for boys, but we have
had many special lines made up to our order, whose specfca-
tions are distinctly better than in suits regularly made to sell
in other stores.
The manufacturers told us that this BITTERNESS in clothing
would never be recognized or appreciated by parents, but we
believe no such thing. There may be parents who think that
anything that looks we'll will do for their boys, but We propose
to meet the ideas of parents who wish to have their boys a
little better taken care of than they are by the usual clothing
stores.
Take the suits that we are showing at 81. 80. for example.
1t is not easy to describe the points of BITTERNESS, but we invite
you to see the suits. and see how they look on your boy. Re-
member that every fabric sold at WANAMAKER's is absolutely
