Activity in new building operations Is
one sign Of business revival. That. in

by the heavy imports which, in the lat

although considerably less than In 1907
Exports continue on about an equality
with last year and with 1905 and are
much heavier than IN 1907 so that the
total commerce of New York compares
favorably with the record OF the last
three years But with conditions as mix
cd as they nre with the question of
prices and wages still undetermined in
important basic trades, with the tariff
still under discussion in Washington the
final vote being some time distant it Is
not surprising that there is plainly mani

Glass Of Milk.

Rutland. April 4--Elgin NJ. Taggart Of
palatine Bridge. n. Y. was the princi-
pal witness In the trial Of Elroy Kent.
charged with the murder OF Miss Della
r. Congdon at yesterdays session.
He testified that he was employed la
summer at the cheese factory of W. c.
Stone, near Miss Congdon's home at
Fest Wallingford. A man whom Tag
cart did not know. but who gave his
name at Kent. called at the factory
July II and asked for drink Of milk
and inquired where he could get work
~ bayfield,. While he was there Miss
Congdon crossed the road. and witness
said Kent made some slurring remark
about her.
Witness told him Miss Concdon kept a
loaded shotgun In her house and warned
him that he would better keep away
from there. After Kent had gone away.
witness noticed that he had cut the let
te~ f. in the door OF the factory.
1nggart testified that he was discharged
from the factory later in the summer
because he had been drinking to much.
A SENSATIONAL TURN.
The testimony of Taggart took a sensa-
tonal turn when Taggart asserted that
DR.. Don d. Grout, superintendent Of the
State hospital for the insane at Water
rury. tried to prevent him from identi-
f, ing Kent at the asylum. Taggart said
also that States Attorney J. c. Jones
had told him before going to the asylum
not to let Or. Grout know II he recog-
nized Kent.
The testimony was followed by a
demand from f. II. O'Brien. counsel
for the defence. that Or. Grout he
ordered into court as a witness. and
It Is probable that the asylum super
intendent will be put on the stan
by the prosecution.
When Kent was taken back to the
asylum Taggart was sent there by
the States attorney to see IL he could
Identify Kent as the man he had seer
In East Wallingford. Taggart failed
to pick him out. but he said in court
yesterday that he made the apparent
error purposely Ito fool DR.. Grout.'
He iden tilted Kent in the court room
as the man he talked with last july
in East Waliingford. but like all tho
previous witnesses. he asserted tina
kent's hair seemed considerably
lighter in shade last summer than i
Is now.
Taggart is the man that the lie
fence has attempted to connect will

OIL FOR LOCOMOTIVES.
Public Service COmnissiop Orders Its
Use through AIirondacks.

Albany. April with the intention to
prevent railroad fires IN the Adirondack
forests the public service commission has
rendered decision ordering oil to be
burned as locomotive fuel from a.
m. to p. m. through the months from
April Is to November each year.
The complete installation Of oil burn
ing Is to be effected by April 10. 1916.
and at least two locomotives on the
Mohawk and Malone railroad and two on
the Delaware and Hudson are to be fitted
with oil burning apparatus and pla ced
In service this summer, in order to ac-
custom the men to the Use OF oil and avoid
any experimenting next year.
The decision is made in proceeding
brought by James s. Whpplc. State
forest. Ash and game commissioner fol-
lowing the forest fires Of last fall.
The cost OF Identification on the rail
road lines has been found to be entirely
prohibitive, as 1t would involve an addi-
tional expense of over million dollars
a year for the New York Central lines
alone over tho cost of operating steam
locomotives. even II water power could he
obtained to generate the amount OF
electricity which would be required
COAL MAY BE BURNED AT NIGHT.
The commission says the railroad
companies have failed to prove to the
satisfaction Of tho commission that their
locomotives. as they propose to equip
and maintain them will be sufficiently
free from the danger Of throwing sparks
and dropping fires from the ash-pans to
warrant the continuance OF coal burning
during the dry months. The evidence,
however. shows that coal-burning loco
motives, properly equipped. can be safely
used at night, and the order provides
accordingly.
The commission finds that 16s gallons
of fuel oil are equivalent to one ton OF
bituminous coal, and that on this basis
the extra cost Of oil burning over the
remedies proposA by the railroad com
panies will be about $4,000 per year.
ONLY A BEGINNING.
The report made by the chief fire
| warden of areas burned over in 1908 shows
over 10000 acres of timber land destroyed
by fires set by hunters, 1900 acres
destroyed by incendiary fires. and 1900
acres by unknown causes, as compared
| with 80. 600 acres stoted to be destroyed by
| railroad Ares. II is thus clear that stop
ping the railroad fires is only sub
stantial beginning In the elimination OF
the total fire damage in the forest pre-
serve, and that radical measures will
be needed on the part OF the State au-
thoritles to supplement the precautions
and expense imposed upon the RAILROADS
by this order. II the Adirondack forests
are to be preserved.
