Papers Taken to Albany by
John Purroy Mitchell as

John purToy Mitchell, Commissioner Of
Accounts, took to Albany to-day az spe-
cial envoy of Mayor Mcclellan the long

ough President Haffen of the Bronx.

acts of maladministration by President
Hafren These charges the Mayor sub
rnits to the Governor for such action as
the executive may deem advisable.

the Commissioner of Accounts to remove
the Borough President after giving him
an opportunity TO be heard in his own
defense. providing the charges are sus-
tanned.
The Commissioner charges President
Haffen annually with misconduct in Of
fee. and with "incompetency, neglect,
waste and violation of law in the admin
istration of his Office during the years
1902. 1909 1901, 1905 1906. 1870, and por-
ton of 1905
The Formal Charges.
The charges read in part as follows:
He has tolerated, and made no
effort to discourage unbalanced bids.
and by repeated acceptance of such
bids has approved the practice for
submitting said unbalanced bids for
contracts for public Improvements.
This practice makes possible, ii not
inevitable, the prevention of fair
competition and loss 10 the city.
He has repeatedly nullitied the
effect Of time limit provisions in
contracts for public improvements
during the Years 1902, 1903, 1901, 1905,
1906 and 1901
He has frequently nullified the re-
session OF contracts for VOCATION or
default upon tie part of the con
z tractor by reletting the rescInded
contracts to bidders obviously and
VIGOROUSLY representing the default
Ing contractors.
He has used specifications for high
ways construction work that are
vague contradictory, antiquaied, I'M
scientific, inadequate TO protect the
city and restrict competition.
He, in the year 1906. procured the
Issue by the fiscal authorities of rev
euue bonds to The amount Of $4,000
by representing that important and
connecting thorOughfareS required
paving at the CitY's expense and used
no part Of the fund SO obtained to
pave important or connecting thor
ouEhfares. but did use laISc part
OF said fund TO pave unimportant
end little travelled side streets.
He has wasted publ" funds in
the maintenance Of highways by en-
! ployiug an unnecessarily large force
j Of men and cause men 20 do work
& ilQt required by any public necessity.

PUN mel the Plumeites.

Last wednesday evening at Silver
Plume the Idaho Springs basket ball
team scored their second victory over
the Silver Plume FIVE. The Plume boys
were outclassed at every stage Of the
game though they put up rather live
ly fight. The final score stood 81 to II.
The victory was largely due to good in
dividual playing as there was very little
team work, probably on account of in
sufficient light. The victorious team
was composed mostly Of High School
players but the contest was not a school
Junction
Tha sciieral aggressiveness Of the
Idaho team and in turn their ready abil-
ity to handle themselves advantageous
ly under rough circumstances were
marked features. Pat Cullen and w.
chase were the referee and umpire,
respectively. Sam McGinnis was time.
keeper and John Richards the scorer.
Those who carried off the honors fol
Idaho were Richards and Cullen, for.
wards, King, centre, McClelland and
Wilkins, gaurds.

AS INTELLECTUAL AS or o.o
soys Of To-Day Are at Least as Smart
As Their Ancestors.

II is often asserted nowadays that
our young men and women attain in
tellectual maturity much later than
did their parents and grandparents.
and in support of this theory the pre-
cccity Of distinguished personages
who f1ourished generation or two
ago is cited. Now somebody. who
has probably been bored, like the rest
Of us, with this yarn about the pi,e-
uo;Menal brightness of the old-fash-
ioned boys, has looked up the records
of II leading colleges to see what
changes have taken place in the age
Of graduates. From 1850 to 1860 the
average age at graduation was %
years l.3 months. From 1890 to 1900
it was 23 years 19 months. In 130
years at Dartmouth toe average age
at graduation has fallen three months.
This average age. it appears, has
changed as little as the average wealth
ar. Thus one or two precocious
youths OF the long ago are sufficient
to endue all their contemporaries with
the same qualities. But the fact is.
the twentieth century boy is smarter
than any Of his predecessors, and (un-
fortunately in nine cases out Of ten
he knows 1t.

The term "molasses" Is properly ap-
Piled to the sacGharine product which
is separated from sugar in the proc IS
of manufacture. A syrup is the direct
product of the evaporation of the
iaice of sugaryielding plant or tree
without the removal of any OF The

the same process with the exception
of the fact thar the sugar has been re
moved at least partially by crystalliza-
