New York City is a heartless
place. Every one you speak to is a
German, a Jew or an Italian. The
vast bulk of them know nothing
and do not try to learn. If you
talk money to them they can under
stand, but nothing else.
Several of the schools here have
5000 pupils each, and the school
children in the public schools num-
Der as many as the whole popula-
ton of Boston. The city is extra
ordinarily brilliant at night and the
stores increasingly attractive.
Wanamaker, who succeeds A. T.
Stewart, has now two huge build
ings on two corners of the cross
street and Broadway connected by
subway and bridge. In an i'm
mense auditorium in the new build
ing concerts are given every after
noon. Boston's population is much
more agreeable to meet, the car ser
vice much better arranged and the
conductors far more courteous.
We have just opened a new sub
way under Washington street,
which is said to be the best arrang-
ed and most attractive in the world.
Moving stairways carry you at cer-
tain points and every convenience
is anticipated. I still write four
or five editorials, about three
columns each week so I do not rust
out.

Will Insist on Local Inter-
change Freight Between
c., c. & L. and P. R. R.
TWO COURSES TO PURSUE
COMMISSION CAN EITHER EN-
FORCE THE PENAL CLAUSE OR
CAN BRING MANDAMUS SUIT
AGAINST PANHANDLE.

Charles Shiveley for the state rail-
road commission in it's case against
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
to compel local interchange of
freight with the c., C. & L., stated
this morning that one Of the members
Of the commission had told him that
the commission would take up the
case upon the adjournment of the
legislature.
Ways to Enforce Order.
Mr.. Shiveley said that two ways
may be attempted by the commission
to compel the company to locate the
switch. One is by enforcing the pen
al clause. 1t is provided in this
clause that the company failing to
comply with the original order of the
company may be assessed 500 a day
for such failure. This already
amounts to more than 100000, as
the original order of the commission
was given in December, 1907. An
other way which may be tried by the
commission is issuing mandamus pro
ceedings against the company and
thereby compelling it to construct the
switch.

SENATE is REBUKED
BY LIEUT.. GOV. HALL
Speaker Honan of the House
States That Unless Night
Sessions Are Held, Work
p Won't Be Finished.
Palladium Bureau,
Indianapolis. Feb. q.

In the senate yesterday Lieutenant
Governor Hall had occasion to show 4
little of the fire that is in a quiet man
when he gets riled up. For several
days it has been almost impossible for
Hall to keep order in the senate. The
members gather in groups and talk and
the crowd around the edCas engages in
a continual buzz of conversation, SO
that no matter how hard Hall pounds
the marble slab with his gavel it is al
most impossible for him to keep the
senators down to business.
Yesterday while the noise was at its
height there was before the house an
amendment to a bill then pending.
Those in favor OF the adoption of
the amendment will say ave." the
Lieutenant Governor shouted.
There Wasn't a Word.
There wasn't vote. No one said a
word. Hall looked over the senate.
His face got red. He poised his gavel
in the air for a moment and then
brought it down on that marble slab
with a whack that made the sparks fly.
The chair will entertain a motion to
adjourn" he shouted loud enough to be
heard above the hubbub.
No, mo-" no." came from all parts
of the chamber.
This senate will adjourn unless you
senators pay attention to business" !"
the Lieutenant Governor answered, Il
hA hot n
not a man voted either way. II you
can't quit talking long enough to at
tend to business you had better quit
They Looked sheepish.
each other. Then Hall put the motion
again and there was a thunder of
ayes" Afer that the senators paid
some attention-not much-to business.
Speaker Honan says unless the house
holds night sessions and gets down to
business the session will cloe with a
lot of work undone. He tried to force
the house to holS night session last
night, but failed. Just before adjourn
ment yesterday evening he raised the
question of a night session. and the
matter was put to vote. 1t was
voted down.
IF this house expects to get through
with it's work it must begin night ses.
sions at once" he said. yesterday. by
the middle of the week l shall have on
my desk not less than $50 bills. Bills
are pouring in and are trickling down
from my desk very slowly. 1t is simply
up to the members to stay here al
night if they want to get their work
done before the time of adjournment
But the house members. apparently
do not care whether they get theil
work done or not, for they voted down
the motion for a night session.

No Arrests in Case Can Be
Made, However, as Con-
signee Made No Effort to
Extort Money From Him.
AUTHOR OF EPISTLES
is SAID TO BE KNOWN
Police Think That They Came
From a Jealous Business
RivaI-0ne Letter Advises
Quick Departure.

Inc weakness OF the law IN regard 10
letters of the white cap"
variety was never more thoroughly
demonstrated than in the case in which
Herman Pilgrim is involved. After
weeks of investigation by the authori-
ties, the conclusion has been reached
by them that there is no law whereby,
the person threatening Mr.. Pilgrim
can be prosecuted because in his
threats the consignee did not attempt
to extort money or anything which
could be estimated as of value
The authorities have determined who
obtained much circumstantial evidence
against him. They declare that if the
law covered this point, the guilty party
could be convicted on the evidence
which they have.
Jealousy the Cause.
1t is believed by the authorities that
jealousy on the part of the consignee
prompted him to send letters to Pill
grim and to relative, Mr.. Duning. Ac.
cording to the evidence, the guilty per-
son is engaged in the same business
as Pilgrim, that of contracting for the
construction of property, and became
jealous because Pilgrim secured some
contracts which he had made an effort
to obtain. The police and prosecuting
attorney, Charles Ladd,. do not believe
that it was ever the intention of the
consignee of the letters to white cap
Pilgrim, either by tar and featherine
him, whipping him or otherwise injur-
ing him.
The first letter of a threatening ma
ture received was addressed to Mr.
Duning, relative of Mr.. Pilgrims. II
was forwarded on December 20 and il
as follows:
"Mr. Duning. Dear Sir"
Il am to let you know that your
friend Pilgrim will be white capped or
the second week of January. Please lei
him know white caps are after him
this neighborhood as soon as you can
him a good whipping
From your friend
Yours truly e. c."
Letter Was Ignored.
| To this letter Mr.. Pilgrim paid littl'
attetion but when he received the sec
ond letter on February 5. he turnet
! 1t and the one received by Duning owe
to the postal authorities. Postal In
spector Fletcher made visit to th'
city and stated that they neither wer'
violations OF the postal laws but tha
| the local authorities could act. Tn
second letter was as follows:
| Pilgrim:
| "You are now noticed to get out o
this neighborhood as soon os you can
All the neighbors are complaining
about YOU"

state should not pay for educating
outsiders and that one hundred thous-
and dollars a year could be saved at
the three schools.
Opposes an Increase.
The governor is opposed to the in
crease of the tax levy to support these
schools. He says the state finances
are in a bad condition and that the
deficit is large and will grow unless
strict economy is practiced. He pro.
poses that the people shall know that
he pointed out the dangers to legisla-
ture. His message is a plea for econ.
omy and he urges passage of the bill
to require all county treasurers to
make advance payments of the state
taxes to the state ahead of the regu.

A GAY YOUNG PRINCE

The English royal family rejoices to
count among its members Prince Arthur

dog that no family gathering-royal family

without his presence.
OF course Christmas itself could not be
merry without Arthur. he was had

considerably TO the gayety of the royal
gathering.
How could it be otherwise? For the

of resource? Well, ''he can act and do

trying to make money out of the ruins of
medieval Rome.
One authority points out that in some
of the sites where it is proposed to build
the new suburbs CataCOmbS exist, and
that If these suburbs are built either the
catacombs will disappear or it will be the
history of korah over again-the ground
will cleave asunder and the earth open
her mouth and swallow up the jewellers in
the new houses and their households and
all the men that appertain unto them and
all their goods.
Again, with regard to the intramural
changes, it is proposed to cut the his
toric passage uniting the Vatican with the
castle of ST. Angelo: to drive a tunnel
from the Piazza di Spagna to the Villa
Borghese beneath the Villa Mcclellan
immensely costly proceeding, it is argued,
and one probably involving the sacrifice
of part of the Medici Garden, which. how
ever, belongs to the French Academy: to
destroy the Church of the Crociferi
Crutched Friars), and to modernize and
transform the Via del Coronari-this
partly because it is said to be unhealthy.
The more cultivated classes are one and
all opposed to the destructive parts of
these proposals, while the business men
assail them the ground of extrava-
gance, Romans apparently having learned
from former experiences that the esti-
mated and the actual cost of an under
taking are not always Identical.
