HEAVY COST TO MOVE SNOW New York Pays the Re-
 cord Price. COST $5S,7oo AN INCH Threat Made for Noiseless
 Fourth. New York Health Department is Con- sidertns New Pl.A for Conducting Warfare Against Tuberculo-
 sis-Some Gotham
BY LONGACRE

New York. Feb. 27.--Recent expos- ures in regard to snow removal have revealed the startling fact that this article is more expensive here than anywhere else in the world; that it is indeed one of the citys most expensive luxuries. Of late years the cost to the city of this commodity, which of- fcially is regarded as anything but beautiful. has been goIng up by leaps and bounds.
 Last year the cost Of removing one inch, that is half an hours fall, was Sl7.00o. figure which caused all sorts of unpleasant comment and criticism. This year, however, the cost has IS. creased more than 300 per cent, as a result of which the cost of removal up to date has been $58. TOO an inche, and this, too. in view of the fact that the city has at no time as yet had any large snowfall. Figured at this rate one days fall in a good-sized storm might cost the city nearly a million dollars for its removal. to say noth- ing of the additional loss in other fields which might well double that sum. Figured on a snowfall equal to that of last winter; that is. thirty-twe inches. the cost of removing 1t under present conditions would amount To $1,s5s.000 compared to S551.304 twelve months ago.s Much of this surprising cost, 1t is asserted. is due to graft and improper methods, under which con- tractors are paid so much each cubic yard of snow delivered at the dumps on the river fronts. Under this sys- tenn. each cart is supposed to bear a letter showing it's capacity. It is as- serted. however. that contractors whose carts have been in use and the check CTS at the dumps by whom checks op the city are issued for the yardage de- livered. have been in collision, with the result that the driver of a cart containing two cubic yards of snow received a check calling for payments of three yards. and So on. The addi- fional amounts thus frauduiently charged to the city, it is asserted, have resulted in one of the easiest forms pr graft since the Tweed days Alto gether the city does not relish the ar rival of snow any more than it does The distinction of paying more for that article. commonly looked upon as free, fhan any other city in the world.
 Repressfng the Kids
 With the Fourth of July still more than four months away, young Amer lea. so far as this city is concerned, Is filled with gloom. for according to the edict which has just gone forth Independence Day-the Glorious Fourth will not be glorious at all this year. Instead the city will have what may Joe termed denatured celebration in which only the youthful capitalists of the city will be able to participate. Fourth this year. and as result the

man who is responsible for the ,inno- vation--that is. Fire Commissioner Hayes-could not be elected to the of- flee of dog catcher so far as the juve- nile vote is concerned. The whole sad situation is due to the ruling that no fireworks shall De sold In this city be- tween June 10 and July 10. In other words, only those elect few who are able to import explosives in the shape of frecrackers bombs and the like, or to ue up the capital invested in tn em for nearly a month, will be able to cell ebrate. Nine boys out of every ten in this city who celebrate the Fourth in the old-fashioned way obtain the mate rials for so doing only a day or two in advance by money earned in any possible way during the few preceding days To require them to lay in their supply of firecrackers a month ahead. and thus tie up their capital, Is to bar them from celebrating the Fourth. This. however. nefarious as 1t may seem. is just what Commissioner Hayes has in mind, for strangely enough he has figured out that it will be easier and cheaper to prevent the usual crop of Fourth of July fires than to fight them. So unless the cruel edict is re- voked. the Fourth this year will re- sound not with the racket of firecrack- CTS and cannon. but with the heart broken howls of the children partici- pating in the city's first noiseless Fourth.
 That tuberculosis should be fought by the same rigorous municipal action that would be taken to combat an out break of smallpox Is the statement with which medical experts have startled New York and which Is now being se- riously discussed. Such action and the continuance of experiments upon anil mals to learn additional facts regard ing the disease which causes approxi- mately one death In every ten is de- clared to be the only hope of success fully coping with 1t. This phase of the subject has been called to public attention by Dr. Herman x. Biggs, general medical officer of the city's health department. who Is responsible for the elaborate measures already adopted here to combat the spread of the Great White PNgue. T regard it as the duty of every municipality" he says, ito look upon tuberculosis offi- ciaily as an infectious and communica- ble disease. dangerous to the public health. which must be stamped out Tuberculosis. long recognized as one of the most fatal diseases to which the human race is subject, was formerly considered as inherited and unprevent- able. Animal experimentation, how ever. showed that 1t is not inherited but that 1t Is communicable andxh ere- fore preventable. I believe that fur ther research in the field of animal ex- perimentation should earnestly be en- couraged and not hampered. if we hope eventually to conquer the dis ease. It Is only by this means that specific treatment may ultimately be discovered as has been the case In diphtheria."

Morrison, colored was not electrocut-
ed at the penitentiary today, as the

completed in time. It is thought it
will take several weeks to perfect and
install the mechanical appliances, and
get things in good shape. The au-
thorities want to have everything in
perfect readiness SO there will be nc

OFF YEAR ELECTIoss

Ohio and Iowa no longer hold elec-l
sons in the stoff year. and Pennsyl-l
ania is about to follow suit. The
to ay,id off year elections
has become so general that few cleo
tions will indeed be held this year
Massachusetts and Rhode Island
elect governors and other state OIL
Gals every year. These states are
old fashioned, believing in an annual
appeal to the people. Maryland Will
this year elect a controller, a 1egls-
1ature and vote upon suffrage
amendment. Virginia will elect
governor, other state officers and
legislature. Nebraska elects minor
state officials. New York elects the
members of the lower house OF the
legislature, and New Jersey elects a
lower house and one-third OF the up
per house Pennsylvania will elec1
Judges and minor state officers, ano
Kentucky a legislature That is all.
There is small opportunity for cen
tests in these elections. No doubt th'
income tax amendment will becom'
an issue in Massachusetts. Rhod
Island, Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky
New York and New Jersey, but moth
ing decisive is expected from thes
elections. The chief issue in NeN
York relates to the primary system.
The elections of this year will, a
a rule, be tame and uninteresting, bu
next year a new Federal House {
REPRESENTATIVES is to be elected an
warm contests will take place in a
of the states. The warmest will be

SENSIBLE RAILROADS.

In announcing that they will handle
material for road building IN virginia
and only charge therefor the actual
cost to themselves, the Virginia rail-
roads are not only patriotic but poll
tic. The Baltimore Sun hits the nau
ON the head when it says:
"The policy of the Virgin4a roads IS
the wise lo1'cy and shows that the
managers of those corporations are
alive to their own interests For II
is certain that no interests are more
vitality concerned in good wagon
roads leading to their stations and
traversing generally the territory
served by the railroads than the rail-
roads themselves.
Nothing stimulates agricultural
production more surely than gooo
roads. They invite population ano
promote railroad travel. They con-
vert a dead country where there is no
production and no activity into live
country which produces freight 1ol
the railroads and invites visitors Wne
use the railroads. A railroad Whlct
traverses a country where the roads
are impossible during certain months
gets no freight at the way stations II
that country in those months, and bu
few passengers. Therefore in pursu
ing this liberal policy toward publl'
highway improvement in Virginia tn
railroad companies are promoting an
serving their own best interests.
If the railroads of this sectiol
would follow the above admirabl
lead the influence would be inarvelou

The project for union of the two

CAL1BRE OF COOK AND pEARY.

The American people are proud OF
the achievements of Two Of their fell
low countrymen in having reached
the apex of the world, and are pre-
pared to greet them, on their return
,...me, win ali entLEfi iasm commensu-
rate with the il; portance OF their
ork in solving .:ne of the greatest
mysteries of the ages.
But it is unfortunate that the sec
ond of these explorers should have
precipitated a controversy. even be-
fore he reaches civilization, much less
before he has placed himself In pos
session of the data upon which DR..
Cook relies to substantiate his claims
of discovery.
There is no doubt in the minds OF
many scientific men who are entitled
to speak with authority that both Or.
Cook and Commander Peary have
reached the pole. 1t is accepted as
entirely certain that the man who has
brought about the controversy has
accomplished what he claims to have
done. but If there is any one thing
which could cast doubt and d1scredl
upon him it is the hostile spirit he has
shown upon being informed that
rival had already carried off the frs
honors.
There can be no possible doubt tha
DR.. Cook has shown the better spiri
of the two. When informed that Com
mander Peary had returned with tn
announcement that he had reache
the pole, the Brooklyn physician sal
he was first to shout "Hurrah, an
he added that if Peary claimed to hav
been to the pole, he had been there.
There was no touch Of petty jeal
ousy or detraction.
And yet, on the other hand, as 500
as Peary is informed of Cook
achievement, he tells the world nc
to take Cook too seriously" at th
same time quoting those much-dfs
cussed Esquimaux as having said thu
Cook really went but little wa
l north.
The natural disposition of the sc
entific world, the personal friends
: the explorers and of the America
people in general is to give full cred
! to both men, but Peary's petty jea
ousy is doing much to discredft h
own claims.
