REAL RAPID TRANSIT.

The plan for express stations the Broad
way-Lexington avenue line as laid out by the
Public Service Commission, gives promise OF
real rapid transit The system Of express and
local stations continues throughout the length
Of the road, not terminating, as on the pres
ent subway at Goth street. Thus speedy tran
sit from one end OF the line to the other will be
practicable. The difference between the express
service possible on the Broadway-Lexington ave
nue. line and on the present subway can be IL
lustrated by a comparison Of the number of
stops necessary between corresponding points
the two routes. Two Hundred and Seventh
street on the Broadway branch Of the pres
ent subway is just as far north as Fordham
Road and Jerome avenue on the proposed
Broadway-Lexington avenue line An express
from the 207th street station on the present
subway stops fourteen times on its way 10 (and
inclusive Of the Brooklyn Bridge station. On
the Broadway-Lex avenue line an express
from the Fordbam Road station will have
stopped seven times on reaching the CORE
spending station at Broadway and Warren
streer.
Such infreQuent stops mean great speed in
non-rush hours. In rush hours. however the
number transferring between local and express
trains viii be much larger at some of the ex-
press sstations than il is at the busiest stations
CT the present subway, because the stops are TO
be further apart IT much OF 1he advantage
of the long run between stations is not to be
thrown away ii long delays at the express
stations, it will be necessary 10 make some
provision for the expeditions loading and IN
loading of trains. Otherwise the city will fail
TO profit by one of the lessons OF the present
subway.
One Of the weaknesses of the Broadway-Lex-
ington avenue route is that it passes by rather
than through important objective points. 1t
misses the Pennsylya3ia Railway station, the
shopping district and the theatre district OBJ,
-ionsly, 20 make the line as serviceable as pos
sible 10 Manhattan. West Side branch reach
ing the Pennsylvania station is needed And if
such branch is TO be constructed an express
station viii be required where the northern end
OF that branch reaches Lexington avenue
Thirty-fourth street Is proposed as the northern
limit OF the branch IN that case there should

the army, navy and marine corps. At first sight
the proposition seems to be open to at least
one objection. The belief has repeatedly been
expressed that in the navy, If not In the army
there are already too many bureaus and naval
officers of high standing have advised consoh-
dation In the interest Of efficiency. Before any
additional bureaus are estao1shed convincing
reasons should be advanced Tor sui 1urther
complicating the existing organization OF elther
the Navy or War department Moreover. 1t
does not clearly appear from the summary of
Commodore Beehler's recommendations to whom
the special board would be responsible. Would
its measures require the joint approval of the
Secretary Of the Navy and the Secretary OF
War?

YELLOWS' SCOURGE
STATE ORCHARDS
Former U. S. Marshall Talks
Of Loss on His Sussex
Farm

Former United Staes Marshal John
Cannon short, who for FIVE years was
a resident Of Wilmington, has for two
years past been living on his fine farm
in Sussex county about seven miles
from Georgetown. He spent several
days in this city recently and met
many old friends For years Mr..
Short was an extensive fruit raiser
and had peach orchard OF over 5000
young trees.
San Jose scale and the yellows have.
however, gotten into his orchard and
he now has only about $500 trees.
Mr.. Short has decided TO up
root some OF them and burn
them. Mr.. Short says the only
known remedy for the yellows is to
burn the trees and thus prevent the
spread OF the disease.
Mr.. Short is not discouraged but is
still hopeful of getting his peach orch
ard back to the excellent condition Of
former days and says he will use every
means known to science to preven,
his orchard from being entirely de
stroyed by diseases and insect pests.
Before 1898 the San Jose scale was
unknown in Delaware. Fruit-growers
say it was carried into the State by
peach trees bought from nurseries I'm
New Jersey, New York and possibly
Maryland. Once il was i'm the state

AN INQUIRY INTO
SCHOOL EXPENSES

be practsed in the administration of the public schools has Just
got together. and will meet tomorrow with members of the State
Board for consultation. The findings of the committee will be sub
mitted to the Senate next winter. 1t should be remarked that the
inquiry might we'll be enlarged. The committee should also con
suit the municipal school boards and superintendents. School
districts vary in their needs. The large cities may reasonably be
expected tobe under much the larger expense, for they have. more
problems TO grapple with. Newark has normal and high schools,
summer schools, night schools, with industrial and other special
training. The school population in many districts is almost sta.
tionary, whereas in Newark it is constantly increasing. We have
q large foreign population to assimhate, and our congested city
mods school Fairgrounds and specially constructed buildings.
IMITATION must be studied and the physical needs of the children
cred to. The local School Board could give to the senatorial
slmittee better information about Newark schools and school
senditures than the State Board can. The local boards should
~ consulted, too.
