FOR SNOW REMOVAL
PLANS MADE TO EXPEDITE
WORK IN BUSY SECTIONS.

BY dividing the city into districts aud
placing seventeen gangs consisting Of from
twenty TO forty men. with a foreman in
each. 1t is believed that in the future the
principal t~horoughfares can be quickly re-
lieved of snow, This plan was decided on
this morning at a conference between
Commissioner Book, Chief Engineer
Sherrerd, General Superintendent of Works
Shipman and Assistant Superintendent
Ashman.
Following each snowfall the gangs will
start TO work from designated points, and
each foreman will be held responsible for
the condition Of the streets In his district.
From Market and Broad streets four
gangs will work both ways on each thor
oughfnre. while others will at
Market and Washington streets, Soring-
field avenue and Jones street, Springfield
and Morris avenues, Broad and Orange
streets, and Clifton avenue, and another
in Clinton avenue as far as Bergen street.
Other gangs will be reserved Tor clearing
closswalks. city bridges, and those over
the Lackawanna Railroad depression. In
case of a heavy fall the gangs In the cen
trail section will be doubled. Gangs will
also be put to work clearing the congestcd
streets like Mechanic. Clinton and Com
merce.
with the exception OF Broad street 5very
one will be cleared from curb to curb On
Broad street the snow will be removed
where it will be taken from a distance of
twenty feet each side Of the trolley rails
According to a standing agreement the
Public Service Corporation will remove
snow from Market street, south of Ferry,
and from Bowery. Ferry, Clay, Bank ard
Mulberry streets and Central avenue.
1t is figured that the city will undertake
to clean $4,000 lineal feet and the traction
company n little more than that.
The attention of the Shade Tree Com
mission was called to the condition of the
sidewalks along the Broad street side of
Military Park this morning. In spots the
ice is an inch thick. At the commissions
office 1t was said that the snow had been
removed from the walks on Tuesday.
AT the meeting of the Board of oWrks
yesterday afternoon Commissioner Eggers
brought up the snow proposition. He
tsaed thai ne had found three inches of
snow in front of some busines places on
Broad street yesterday morning, and
stated that the police ought to be asked
to enforce the ordinance, City Counsel
Nugent was present, and stated that he
had consulted with Clerk Yuill of the First
Criminal Court about it Wednesday night.
This satisfied the commissioners.

Michael Bietel, who has been under
treatment for incipient tuberculosis al
st. Michaers Hospital, was permitted
to leave the hospital yesterday after
noon to visit friends. Instead of doing
SO he went to New York and called
upon his niece. Elizabeth Christopher
who is a maid in the employ of Mrs
Walberger Horn, of II Avenue A..
Because she refused to let him re
main, Bietel pulled a revolver from his
pocket and fired three shots at her
Two of them hit her right arm and the
last entered the left breast above the
heart. She will live.
The woman then staggered to the
front door n called for help.
When Bethel saw a crowd col
lecting he fired a bullet into
his own breast. The girl saw her uncle
fall in the hallway, and shortly after
became unconscious.
Blood was streaming from the bodies
of the man and girl when a physician
arrived. He had the girl carried into
the house and placed on a bed. A hur-
ried examination showed that her life
was in danger. An ambulance from
Bellevue Hospital was sent for. Before
it arrived Mrs. Horn, who was attend

Deputy Sheriff Loses His Job, Although
Court Believed Lads Were to
Blame for Trouble.

Because of trouble with two boys

panied the girl to the hospital in the
ambulance.
On the a to the hospital the priest
learned from the girl that her uncle
said he had called to pay her a visit
and wanted to remain there all night,
She said that she told him thai he
could not remain without permission
from Mrs. Horn, who was then at
church.
Bietel became enraged. and then she
begged of him to &c away and not
cause her any trouble.
1t was then that her uncle pulled the
revolver and shot at her, she said.
The girl was in an unconscious con-
dition when she reached the hospital.
A few moments later Bietel was taken
to the same place.
At the hospital at noontime today
it was said that the girl has a fair
chance to recover, but that there was
little hope of the man, as he was in a
serious condition.
At St. Michael's Hospital it was
stated that Bietel had beer taken in al
the request of the Rev. Father Bernard,
o. s. B., pastor of st. Benedict's
Church. on November 26, and that the
man was in the early stages of tubercu-
losis. He gave his address to the hos

Bietel vas considered i'll enough to
be conflred to his bed all of the time
and it was only yesterday morning
that the attending physician said. he
thought the mar might recover. Then
he was allowed to leave his bed. IT
vas also said that since he had been
there the niece had visited him several
times, bringing him fruits and flowers
on each visit. She also Sent him

stated that the man might have be-
come suddenly insane when the girl
refused to allow him to remain in the
house all night.

Meyer money, and the Alderman that he
never received money from them.

South Dakota's
New Anti-Pass Law.

The Journal publishes on this page
today the fail text of the new anti
South Dakota recently passed and b
pass law which the legislature of
South Dakota recently passed and
which Governor Crawford of that
state signed Immediately after It's
passage, the same now being a law
in full force and effect
The South Dakota statute appears
to be plain, comprehensive, and, for
the most part at least adequate to
cover present demands for reform on
this question 1t is more restrictive
and. in our Judgment, much better
than the anti-pass provision In the
rate bin recently enacted by congress.
The pass system has been a prolific
source of evil in both state and nation
al politics and there is no reason why
it should longer be allowed to exist.
Interstate passes have now, with
certain exceptions, been abolished and
interstate passes should likewise be
prohibited.
We commend the South Dakota law
70 the consideration of the members
OF the Florida legislature which viii
soon be in session and we trust that
a similar and equally as stringent a
law be enacted. in this state.
