Crime In New York
Associated Pres. to The Evening Times.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, Jan. 14.-The long series
of acts of violence Of the most desper-
ate character which have occurred in
this city during the past few weeks
would indicate that crime is flourish
ing here to great extent than in
many months. And, too, it appears
to be one of those peculiar and in
applicable waves of wrong-doing which
had been perpetrated Immediately be-
fore the last. One of the most re-
markable features Of the present wave,
or reign of terror, or whatever it may
be called, is the cleverness and the
crafty cunning displayed by so many
criminals and in SO many and widely
diversified branches of their "profes-
sion." It would seem that each has
endeavored to out-do the other, and in
their attempts, most of which have
been successful, by the way, they have
shown a resourcefulness and genius
which, had 1t been employed in a
legitimate calling, would have gained
wide commentator. AS an example OF
the manner in which some of the
criminals have operated the act of
two young hotel employees, neither of
them twenty years of age, will serve
as an illustration. They had learned
that in the fifth floor apartment of an
uptown fiat house there was silver
plate valued at several thousand dol
lars. They learned also that the oc-
cupants of the apartment would be
absent from their fiat on certain
evening and therefore decided upon
the evening as the most propitious
time for their unwelcome and unan-
nounced visit. But they had no in
tention of making the call after the
methods Of their kind. Burglars Of
the past may have climbed a fire
escape and forced a window, or even.

them to enter the house on the pre-

So they fixed upon plan which work

sively that unless the cruel law inter-

direct them to the roof and also point

fell they were forgotten. But they
did not forget. and when the evening

CITY ECONOMICS.

The great problem which has been
confronting the health boards and
street commissioners of the largest
cities of the United States is the dis
position of its vast accumulation of
waste products. Each year they have
paid large sums of money for the dis
placement of these waste products.
New York City formerly contracted
for the transportation of her waste
products some twenty-five miles out to
sea where they were dumped. This
methods proved unsatisfactory so she
Is experimenting along new lines. The
most common method among these
largest cities is the building of large
open furnaces where the waste pro-
ducts are burned. BY waste products
is meant ashes, garbage, and all man
ners of rubbish. New York city makes
this classification in solving her prob
lem of waste products: The ashes she
uses in building up the lowlands of
her outlying districts. The garbage,
which includes decayed fruits from the
wholesale houses, of which there are
many tons each day, and the scraps
of meat and vegetables from the
homes, is transported to factory on
an island some distance out at sea
where it is treated to a steaming pro-
cess for forty-eight hours. 1t is then
placed under heavy pressure
SO as to procure the oils from it. This
oil is used in combination with phos-
phate as a fertilizer in the cotton
fields of the south. The rubbish which
consists of everything from rubbers,
broken chairs and hat pins to old
mattresses, etc., are conveyed to
dumping station and thrown onto
long belt called conveyor. There
are contractors who agree to pay
specified rate per ton for the rub
bers, brass, etc., which their men sta
toned along this conveyor. may sort
out. From this plan New York city
derives considerable revenue to de-
fray this vast expense. The rubbish
which is not sorted out, consisting of
broken chairs, mattresses and all man
er of combustible materials, Is used
as fuel in the lighting station with
which the dumping station connects

benefit of other members who in the
past have not paid sufficient.
Sec. 4. This section requires an an
nual accounting and distribution of
any accumulation in excess of the
amount necessary to maintain the
level rates; its effect is to give to
the members all of the advantages
of a post mortem distribution of
costs; that is, after the deaths have
happened, and the liabilities of the in
stitution after the year have matured,
then the actual mortality cost, being
ascertained, is paid and distributed,
and the excess above the same, if any
there is, derived from any source
either saving Of expense, larger rate
OF interest than expected or de-
creased mortality, is returned to those
from whom it was received.
Sec. 5. This section is supplement-
airy to the preceding section and mere
ly requires that all funds and accounts
of the members upon adequate rates
shall be kept separate and distinct
from those upon any other rates.
Sec. 6. In order that the state may
be assured that the funds are not dis
sipated and that the premium rates
are sufficient as we'll as that the So
ciety itself is conducting it's busi-
ness under satisfactory lines, the in
surance commissioner is given super
vision, direction and control over them
with authority to value the outstand-
ing certificates.
Sec. z. Authorizes any society do
ing business upon adequate rates to
accept members between the ages of
16 and 60 years; this is upon the the
ory that If the societies are trans
acting business upon business prin-
ciples, their field should not be limit
ed; the broader the field the more and
better work they can do.
Sec. 8. Under the present law in
the event of failure of beneflciaries
the amount of insurance reverts tn the
society. This should rot be and by
the bill the amount is made payable
to the estate.
Sec. 9. :. This section is not obliga-
tory but the societies are authorized
to issue contracts of insurance upon
four plans, as follows. IN Level
life premium. (2) twenty year pay
ment premium. (3) step rate, that
is increasing from yea to year, to
age 65 at which time a level premium

liable and intended to supply the wants
of those who during the active years
of business life desire to provide for
their family against the contingencies

Sec 10. This section gives a valu-
able option or alternative to old men,

take such old members over into the
new permanent class upon adequate
premium rates at attained ages with

SEVEN INJURED.
Passenger Trains In Collision ut
Chicago This Morning.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Seven persons in,
sleeping car were injured early to-
day when an outward bound train on
the Monon railroad collided with q
sleeper on the rear end of a train on
the Wabash road at 10th street.
The accident was caused by the in
ability of the trainmen to discern the
signals in the dense fog. The signal
was up warning the train on the
Wabash road to stop, but the engineer
could not see it and proceeded. He
had nearly passed the crossing, when
the Monon train struck the sleeper.

ATimely
Hint

Reports are coming in that
our Hydro Carbon oil is being
received in many towns where
they have been obliged to- burn
candles, owing to the inability
of the great trust to fill all Of
their orders. We prepared for
this blockade last fall by keep
ing our tanks full and have
come to the rescue many times.
If you burn oil and want a
GOOD light call for Bartles
oil. If your dealer don't sell it
call us up. You don't need a
special lamp or smokeless de-
vice-it will burn in any old
lamp provided you put in a
new wick.

MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY II, 1907.

This plan is working with great sue
cess. These are but a few of the many
uses which these waste products may
serve and other uses are in the line
of development, so that in future years
the waste products may prove to be
a source of small revenue rather than,
as in the past, an item of vast expense.
This experiment OF New York city,
from an economic standpoint. is but
a timely suggestion and lesson to the
other large cities of our country.

filled apartment, let themselves in
through convenient window and
took their time in gathering up prac-
tically everything of small weight and
considerable value in the house. When
the booty was securely packed 1t was
lowered to the ground by the tackle
and then the youthful robbers made
their escape in the same way. The
dangling tackle was found in the
morning coincident with the discovery
of the robbery. The boys and the
silver are still missing. And the
drain pipe still leaks.
Another desperate pair, resorting
to "strong arm" methods, attracted

possession of key to the house by
representing themselves to the janit-
ress of the house a few days before
as gas inspectors. The ticket specu-
lator had learned of the visit of the
two men for the key and suspecting
possible trouble had asked friend
to accompany him home in the early
morning. AS he entered the house
the two men who had been concealed
within sprang upon him but the friend
came to his assistance and desper-
ate battle followed. One of the rob-
bers escaped, but the other, who fled
toward the roof, was captured.

ARE WATCHING BORDER
FOR ROsADIo EMELIo

Mounted policemen, local peace Of
ficers and government officers are
keeping a sharp lookout along the
Texas and Mexico border for Rosario
Emelio, the Lincoln county murderer
who broke Jail at Lincoln a week or
so ago and who has since successful
ly eluded capture. Not even a trace
has been found of Emelio a-rd Gomez
the man who escaped with him, and
the men so far as the officers have
been able to learn might as well nave
vanished from the face of the earth.
The theory is that Emelio will try to
make his way into Mexico and all of
the border trails are being closely
watched. Watch is being kept in Ell
Paso. at Amarillo, Texas and in So
corro, in all of which places Emelio
has friends who would be likely to
aid him in keeping out of sight. Puer
to de Luna in Guadalupe county, is
also being closely watched. From the
speed with which Emelio disappeared
the officers are of the opinion that his
escape YVES carefully planned and that
relays of horses were provided for
him and his companion.
