comments:

Japan is making rapid strides
along many industrial lines and
great attention has for many
years been paid to her agriculture
in which rapid progress is being
made. AS early as 1872 she had
established an agricultural col
lege. For several years the soil
survey of the main islands has
5een completed with large scale
maps and is made the basis of
values for national, pelfectural
and local land taxes. She has an
admirable system of road mainte-
nance in effective operation. She
has many agricultural experiment
stations, nine of which we visited,
and the equipment at Toxic for
soil investigation is superior to
anything yet provided in this
country. We have more preten-
tious buildings, but their re-
sources are more largely used in
providing appliances and men for
rigid, accurate research work

Ramon Tello Mendoza, who, as one OF the
''big four" the government of President
Castro of Venezuela. occupied successfully
the offices of Minister Of Treasury and
Governor of Caracas. arrived here yester-
day from Caracas on the steamer Caracas
Senior Mendoza was one of CaStros fol-

and he has not been power in the politics
Of the republic since the ascendency OF
General Gomez to the Presidency. About
two weeks ago. when a plot against Gomez
was discovered at Caracas, Mendoza made
a precipitate departure from the country,
going to CURACAO in sloop.
Last November Mendoza was put in jail
on Gomez's order, and he feared another
such experience. The fugitive may be
called political accident, for it was as
the result of an accident that he rose 10
high political office. The accident hap
pened to Castro near La Victoria While he
was leading his revolutionary forces
against President Andrade. Mendoza took
care of Castro and when the latter became
President he always took care of Mendoza.
Senior Mendoza comes here on his way 10
Europe. Probably he will visit Castro at
Teneriffe, Canary Islands.

CAR HORSES TOO FRISKY
Shy Into Excavation, and Then
There's a Lot of Trouble.

Two scrawny horses attached to a horse
car in Stanton street last night got scared
al the honk of a sightseeing wagon. For
the first time in years the candidates for
the boneyard actually reared up on their
hind legs and the nigh horse slipped into
a big excavation, dragging his partner
after him.
Dan Conan. the driver telephoned for
a wrecking crew. He then lighted his pipe
sat down inside of the car. whence all but
he and the conductor had fed, and waited
Then the wrecking crew came. Failing e
gain the ear of either the driver or of the
wrecking crew, the big crowd began to ex-
change opinions to the sageness of its
rejected advice.
Louder than all the rest were Herman
HershkOwitz and David Herring. Hersh-
hoWitz thought that Herlings method of
raising horses from an excavation was
punk, and Herring was sure that Hersh-
kowitz was an infinitestimal biological spec
linen. Whereat Herskowitz struck Herring
on the nose, and Herring dropped into the
excavation alongside of the horses The
wrecking crew suspended operations long
enough to haul Herring, torn and bleeding,
out OF the hole, and Patrolmen Moran and
David, who had seen Herskowitz do the
deed, arrested him and took him to the
Eldridge street tation. with the whole
crowd trooping at their heels.
The wrecking crew, left without an au-
dience worked more freely, and got the
horses out after two hours.

YOf {E7S FILES COMPLAINT
Protests to Service Board
Against HIGHER Fares,

A complaint behalf of the city OF
Workers. prepared a. the instance OF Mayor
Lennon, protesting against the increase In
commute ton rates on the New York Cen
trail, was filed with the Public Service
Commission yesterday.
The complaint declares that during all
the long years of existence of the Harlem
Railroad and it's successor, the New York
Central, there was no increase in the rates
of fare to Yonkers until the Public Ser
vice Commission was created by law. in
1907. 1t is then pointed out that since 1857
there have been no less than four increases
tolerated by the commission
Comparisons of rates to YOnkers are
made with rates charged on the Lehgh
Valley, the Central of New Jersey, the
Pennsylvania and other railroads, all tend
ing to show that the people of Yonkers
are taxed more for Communication and fam
lily trip tickets than other cities. The Mayor
charges that the increased rates are in
,uring the business and retardng the
growth of the city.
Prior to 1907 the communication rate be-
tween New York and Yonkers on the Cen
trail was 81 10. Then It was raised to 50 go.
and in July 1910. was increased to Sc %.
There were similar increases affecting Yon-
kers commuters on the Putnam & Harlem
Railroad.

for several hours. Most of the trouble was in
the vicinity of 21st street. between Fifth
and Sixth aveues, where there are some OIL
the largest factories While the strikers
lad their old fear of the regular policemen,
they appeared TO have none for the special
policemen.
An attack was made on the workers IN

the special detectives on guard. The moo

restored order Three men were arrested
Shortly afterward police reserves who
had gone to the help OF two specials beng

Sixth avenue. Several ether disturbances
took place, followed, in some cases, by ar
rests.
The representa- tives OF the manufacturers

to give figures but most OF the members
were running their factories.

signers, who are organized as the Mutual
Aid Cloak and Suit Designers Association

bringing both sides to the quarrel together.
A committee was appointed to call on the

ranged to see the representatives of the

1t was said that q large number of manu-
factUrers were housing their workers in
hotels near the factories, taking them to
and from their work under protection.
