FEDERAL CONTROL OF THE BAY.

The desire OF the federal government TO in
tervene for the conservation OF its own inter
ests in the litigation which is now pending he
tween the states Of New York and New Jersey
over The use OF New York Bay as a depository
Of sewage is entirely reasonable and pertinent
and should be welcomed by the public spirited
citizens of both the states concerned 1t surely
will be regarded with approval by those who
take q broad and farseeing view Of the ex-
ceedingly important matter in hand and who
value the general-welfare OF the nation and its
chief--we might say, its only truly national
port above the CONSTRUCTED and selfish con-
venience or economy OF any single community
or group OF communities.
There can be no question Of the urgent need
of relief for the polluted PasSaic River and the
suffering communities along its foul shores
The Tribune has for many years condemned the
existing state of affairs public scandal and
has urged thorough and permanent measure
OF reform There can be little, If any, question,
either, that trunk sewer for all the communi-
ties In that regien is the most desirable, If not
indeed, the one Indispensable means of drain
age But that does not mean that the sewage
should be discharged into New York Bay in its
crude state or in any state which would be
offensive or Injurious. And there can be no
more question than IN either of the cases al
ready named that the discharge Of crude sew
age into the bay from such sewer would be
both offensive and injurious.
TT does hot settle the case TO say that the Pas
sale Valley sewage is already being poured into
the bay by way of the Kills; that New York
City itself is a far greater offender than the
New Jersey communities are or would be; that
New York. under an old treaty with New Jer-
soy has The sole control OF the bay, or to use
enx of The many arguments which are put forth
l,x ths advocates of the two contending COM
y,,onyralths Federal authority over tidal
waters Is sufficient TO give the general govern

nor beth Of the states can ignore. The United
States is the owner Of much property on the
shores Of the bay 1t is greatly interested in the

THE POLICE REPORT.

Police Commissioner Binghams report 50 far
as statistics go. makes a favorable showing as
to the progress Of police work during his three
years incumbency. Arrests and convictions for
both felonies and misdemeanors have rapidly
increased the convictions even more rapidly
than the arrests. General Bingham estimates
from these statistics the gain i'm efficiency at
As per cent in three years. And this has been
accomplished by force decreasing in proper
ton to the population of the city and costing 2
cents per capita of population less than it cost
in 1899 1t is the first time in the history Of
the department that statistics of this kind have
been available for General Bingham introduced
the system of keeping such records in the de-
partment. He moreover opened the legal bureau
that helps officers in the presentation of their
cases when they have made arrests, which
probably has something 10 do with the in
crease in the number of convictions.
The Commissioners recommenda tions re-
spectng legal changes for the betterment Of
the force deserve consideration. The increased
power which he suggests for the disciplinng
of members of the force by reduction in rank
or grade like the authority he received year
or two ago for reducing inspectors to captains,
is desirable Greater authority and long term
for the Police Commissioner are imperatiyely
necessary to make him master of the police sit
uation What the city needs is to get a good
Commissioner. give him large powers and keep
him in office. There is more hope in going
ahead with the present system and making the
most of 1t than in the experiment of putting the
management of the force in the hands of the
state or selecting its head from the uniformed
ranks

extradition statutes is in harmony with previous
definitions of the status Of our West Indian de-
tendency. The exchange of fugitives from JUS

that for the purposes of so elementary func-

PLUNGES INTO
FIRE; Gets CHILD
YOUTH WRAPS COAT ABOUT HIS
hEAD-Is SLIGHTLY BURNED
DURING HEROIC EFFORT.

NEW YORK. Jan. Fire that
started in the kitchen OF Mrs. Louise
McDonough, OF No. 270 West Tenth
St, came near costing the lives OF
Mrs. McDonough's sfour-year-old son,
Willie, and Mrs. Bowling, an aged
woman, who lived on the top floor OF
the house.
The bedroom in which the child
slept was In the rear of the kitchen.
The fire In the kitchen was between
the mother and the child. Victor Mehr-
hon, eighteen years old, the son OF
the janitor, wrapped his coat about
his head, plunged through the flame
and smoke and brought the child out
safely. Mehrhoff. was slightly burned.
Mrs. Bowling Is now so years old.
Her son, William, with whom she lives
ina Waterman at the F1fth-aye. home
OF John Jacob Aston He came from
work In time TO see the fire. With two
policemen, he ran up stairs. The po-
icemen carried down the mother and
bowling rescued his niece, Grace Car
roll. IL years old, who had refused TO
heed the entreaties of the aged wom-
an TO leave her.
Another rescue was that of Willie
McDonough's red bank which he had
received from Santa Claus. He cried
SO hard and was so insistent that a
fireman finally went and found it in the
apartment. The red paint was blist-
cred, but the six coppers 1t contained
were still there. The fire damaged
the house 10 the amount Of 81 800
