JOINS THE FARMS AND CITIES
Huge Traction Chain that Has Been
Formed in the Empire
state.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-More than a mill
lion residents OF the three largest cities
outside Greater New York and eight OF the
greatest farming counties of this state have
today been Joined together by the longest
chain OF interurbsn railway in the traction
history of the east. In a report on the
growth OF interurban enterprise under their
supervision last year the members of the
public service commission appointed by
Governor Hughes have Just announced here
the first operation Of this 5olmile system
between Buffalo. Rochester. Syracuse and
fifty OF the agricultural centers Of the lake
regions, 1t has been made possible to forge
more than DO miles Of the last links in
this extensive chain in this one year, they
declare.
Where railroads have been hardly reached
throughout the fertile sections of Orleans,
Monroe, Wayne, Cayugs, onondaga and
Oswego counties, the Hughes supervisors
report that through cars have at last be-
gun to connect farms and markets. over
a stretch OF les miles. which was pasture
when they were first appointed. passen-
gers and produce are today being whirled
from Buffalo to Rochester. they declare.
From Rochester TO the city of Auburn,
$50 miles away. the addition OF a necessary
twenty-mile link this year has set through
cars in continuous motion. Seventy miles
OF remote farm land to the north Of the
great center OF Syracuse is also reported
as today opened by two traction highways
just developed. The sudden spread of these
rural roads is due, according to the com
missioners. to the fact that the scattered
communities can now encourage them and
rely on the central control which a body
like the governors utility board is able TO
exercise, I.v.

LAW FoRSAKEs POLICE COURT
That II, Book Containing Compiled
statutes OF Nebraska Has
Been stolen.

CItree!
Law has forsaken the sacred portals OF
the police court and justice seems liable
TO memory Interpretation, IL it does not
meet a worse fate.
A copy Of the statutes of Nebraska has
disappeared from the court room OF the
police station, where it has held an honored
and useful position for years. and has been
referred to every time a barking dog has
grated on the ears OF a knocking" neigh
Dor or an up-to-date milkman has been
caught selling watered milk. As City Pros
ecutor Daniel hurried around the court
room and the offices of himself and Court
Clerk ]. ]. Mahoney, he told
his tale of woe and begged piteously for
the restoration Of his favorite story book.
1T was a nice book" he is said to have
repeated again and again, and l want It
back, even If it didn't have any pictures"
WA it annotated? ?" asked a friend, who
happened to be present during the search
for the volume.
Yes; but now it's amputated. at least
from this place. solemnly declared Mr..
Mahoney with the regretful air OF a man
who tries to joke over the robbery of his
house.
Justice has flew, teter-toter, cheese

who thereafter took great pains to steer
shy of Judge Crawford and his right-hand
man-who sits on his left during court ses-
slons and is known as Sergeant Whelan.
And in spite of the evident law sacrilege
somebody laughed at the new version OF
Justices scales and sword and the hand
kerchief around her eyes and straightway
made a rapid exit from the realm OF his
honor's bench.

the city. The reason for this is that II any
accident happens through the premature
use Of the visduct the liability will fall on
the contractors. One accident having oc-
CURED from the opening of the viaduct al
ready, it is likely that the order was hast
ened on that account. The ends OF the
viaduct will be guarded by police officers
today, and some trouble is anticipated from
pedestrians, especially since they nave been
using the footwalks for several days.
The street railway company laid it's

the moon and asserts that has dis

mathematical proc based on the
methods OF Hill, Poincare and

Prot Sees announcement was
made in a paper presented to the
meeting oil the Astronomical
Society Of the Pacific coast and is

In his former paper presenting
this theory, Prot. See showed how
these bodies, which once revolved
around the sun like the asteruuu
now do. had made circuits close
about the planet. In the neighbor.
hood oi a planet like Jupiter, the
sphere OF the suns control was
shown to have an extension or pro-
tuberance on IL, like the neck oil a
bottle, OF hourglass with very un.
equal bulbs, and when the small
bodies moving about the u came
into this neck, they could revolve
about Jupiter, and in many cases
again return to their paths about
the sun. In other cases after re-
volving about Jupiter they would

nebulous resisting medium about

By revolving about the plane,

be- rounded up into almost perfect
circles, and made smaller and

the origin OF the satellites general.
