COSTS TO MAKE THE SNOW FLY
MAYOR PLEASED BY BIG BILL
EDWARDSS VIGOR.

Commissioner Complains ef a Truck
Famine. ana with an Eye Cut FOR Any
thing Like Cart Keeps the other on
the skies-Ak Cents = Yard Now.
Although Mayor McClelIan said yester-
day that he was pleased with the rapidity
with which Street Cleaning Commissioner
Big Bill Edwards had made the snow fiy
OF the streets and into the rivers. the
Commissioner himself and his inspectors
weren't quite 80 happy. They were willing
to admit that they had done very well.
but they were inclined to cuss the lack Of
trucks which prevented them from doing
better.
On tho previous day the reports
showed something like 500 trucks in
action. Yesterdays reports showed be-
tween 100 and /. 200 at work. and the
inspector in charge Of the snow removal
bureau said last night that unless there
were reenforcements from out Of town
the number would drop considerably
to-day. Contractors who have brick and
sand to move want the trucks and pay a
better rate than the city feels able to.
There were 1000 regular employees on
the job yesterday and each regular had
an emergency man assigned to help him
in clearing the crossings and seeing that
the fire hydrants were ready for use
At nightfall the report was that all Broad
way south OF the Circle was clear. also
Fifth avenue and the principal cross
streets and ferry streets. Third avenue
was cleared up to i2sth street, which
was practically free of snow. Many Of
the downtown streets had been roughly
cleaned. that 10. enough snow had been
removed to makeltraffic possible. Those
streets will be finished on to-day, when
the campaign will include the polishing
tinuance OF the snow Jsnovsl hght in
the upper part and in The Bronx. Brooklyn
was reported to be emerging rapidly from
it's snow coverlet.
The need for more trucks has put the
p5Ss ,s up 70 and sd & Ss as wSS SsDs

Fifty eighth street and east Fortieth
street. This rising price caused Mayor
Mcclellan TO exclAim: The fun Of 1t 10
what is IL all going to cost? One thing 10
certain-it will amount 70 a whole lot more
than the contract system" But after
taking another look the Mayor decided
that the speed would be worth all It cost.
Commissioner Edwards attempted TO
give an idea Of the size OF his job. He

clear on the snow. As to the difficulty in
getting even a small fraction OF that
number OF teams to work one day. tho
Commissioner was Of the opinion that
the scarcity was due In part 20 the COM
ing OF the automobile and In part to the
fact that high rents have caused truck
owners to move uptown or out Of town and
seek work near home. Every timo that
Big Bill talked about the truck famine
he looked up at the clouds. He didn't
say that he was praying for rain. but he
wasn't praying for snow.

Jersey Public service halfway Company
Makes an All Around increase.

wakes an All AROUND increase.
The board OF directors OF the Public
Service Railway Company at a meeting
in the Prudential Building in Newark
yesterday afternoon increased the wages
of the motorInen and conductors in the
company's employ. President Thomas
N. McCarter announced that the increase
would go into effect January 1. 1910.
The new scale will be as follows: First
year men. FL cents an hour; second year
men, n cents an hour; third year men.
% cents an hour ten year men. "a cents
an hour. In 1911 the first year men are
to receive a further increase TO ~ cents
an hour; second year men, 23 cents an
hour; third year men, "a cents an hour;
tenth year men. 24L cents an hour. In
lel: the first year men are to receive
23 cents an hour; second year men. ~
cents an hour. and third year men and
upwards. IS cents an hour.
The directors also decided to give extra
time allowance to such men as volunteer
for additional trips after their days
work is finished. All men on the extra
list who answer roll calls and perform the
work assigned to them for period OF a
week will have guarantee of a minimum
scale of wages is 20 cents for first year
men. II cents for from second to fifth
year. % cents for from fifth to tenth year.
and % cents for ten year men and over.
The action of the directorate in increas-
ing the wage scale was voluntary. No
demands had been made by the men.
and the raise comes as a surprise. An
nouncement OF the company's action was
mad at Christmas entertainments held
last night in the car barns in Oreen-
vile. Paterson and Orange. and bulletins
will be posted in the various car stations to-
day. The Public Service operates trolley
lines in the counties OF Hudson Bergen,
Passaic. Essex. Union. Somerset. Middle
sex, Burlington. Camden and Gloucester.
Appro ximately $500 men will be bene-
fited by the order.
II was further announced that bene-
violent plan Is being worked out for the
benefit OF the men.
Besides raising the wages OF the trolley
men the company created the positions
OF third and fourth vice-presidents.
Randall Morgan Of Philadelphia was
chosen third vice-president and Col.
Anthony r. Kuser OF Newark fourth
vice-president. Both men were formerly
ce-presidents and have been members
OF the executive committee OF the di-
rectors since the organization Of the
Public Service Corporation in 1908.
The same Positions were created for them
in the Public Service Gas Company and

clared a quarterly dividend OF ~ per

There Won't he Any Opposition Five Foot

Supreme Court Justice Newburger re-
served decision yesterday on the applica-
tion OF DIR. Charles W. Eliot and Robert j.
Collier for an injunction restraining tho
Circle Publishing Company and e. Milton
Jones from using DIR. Ehot's name In pub
fishing and selling a fve foot shelf OF
books. The Circle company announced at
the outsst-of tho hearing that il would not
oppose the injunction because il had al
ready abrogated a contract with Jones
for the sale OF the books.
Edward NJ. Shepard. counsel for the
plaintiffs. based his argument on the broad
ground that n person may restrain the
use Of his name. portrait OF picture for
advertising purposes or the purposes
This name. DIR. Eliot's Five Foot
Shelf OF Books is in effect a trademark
said MIR. Shepard. in all the search I
have made have not found a more COM
plete appropriation OF an article OF mar
chandise than that made by tho defen-
dant. Il. Milton Jones. He got the list
so far completed by DR.. Eliot by filching
il from CcliteY's while posing as a hust-
ling book agent. Then he contracted to
sell them through the Circle company
Mr.. Shepard complained that Jones
advertised the set In a vulgar manner,
paid 500 save sss 25 by sending coupon
at once" He said that Jones had ad-
yertised the Suggestions OF 100 College
Presidents" in addition to DR.. Eliot's
list, and said he hoped Jones would fur
nish the list
Later Jones's counsel furnished his
correspondence with college presidents
concerning the Eliot list and Mr.. Shepard
read from some OF them. President
Welch Of Ohio Wesleyan wrote that the
job OF adding to DR.. Eliot's list was too
much for him to undertake. President
Stone Of Purdue said that while he didn't
want to criticise DR.. Ehot's selections
he wouldn't have drawn up one Just like
IL. although he didn't care TO make any
suggestions. DR.. Rennsen OF Johns Hop
kins said that the problem was too deep
for quick action.
In opposing the injunction counsel
for Jones said that Or. Eliot had dedi-
Gated his selections FOR the Ave foot shelf
to the public and that no one publisher
pwas entitled to profit by it. He said also
that Jones got the titles fer the books
out OF the newspapers.
