COUNCIL COMMITTEE FOR THIRD
 TIME REPUDIATES WATER CONTRACT David S. Beach Presents His Views Upon the Advant- ages of Insuranceto to Clear City of 4>ebt-Bostwick Avenue School Improglio Goes to City Attorney.

The council committee on niscellan- eous affairs voted last night to report against an appropriation for water for fire hydrants. This is equivalent to a recommendation to the Tax Board not to make an appropriation for water supply under the 20 year contract.
 The resolution was offered by Alder man O'Neil of the Sixth District.
 The 20 year contract was made in 1906. In 1907 the Council passed vote requesting the Tax Board to suspend the instrument. The Tax Board re- fused to do so. Tn 1908 the Council re- peated it's request. The Tax Board again refused.
 The so-called 20 year contract is ac- tually an agreement to run from year to year. It may be suspended at any time by withholding an appropriation under it. This was the substance o1 the opinion of City Attorney Thomas

New York is the nerve center of the great Rockefeller corporation.

POWERS READY TO STOP ATTACK OF
 TURKS ON GREECE
Especial from United Press.

Especial from United Press.)
 London, Feb. 3.-Deepest chagrin is manifested in the Foreign Office today that the little island of Crete a dispute between Turkey and Greece that may call for concerted action on the part of other powers to prevent an open rupture between Turkey and Greece.
 The London Foreign Office has sounded the other powers that only recently relinquished their guardian ship of Crete and has found them ali ir accord on the question of prevent ing Crete from sending deputies to the forthcoming Greek National As sembly, which has been called to re- wise the fundamental law of the land. This threatened action by Crete is the basis of Turkeys preparations for 9. move against Greece, with threat ened invasion of Sicily as the initial step.
 Condemnation of Turkeys precipi- tate action is heard on every hand and the feeling is general here that the porte is anxious to become in- volved with Greece. A high official of the Foreign Office is authority for the statement that everything will be 4done to prevent Turkey taking a step that she cannot retrace without bringing the situation to crisis
 The dispatch of British warships from Malta to Piracuas is the fore runner, it is believed, of the early occupation of Crete by the protecting powers, which, under the agreement of 1898, administered to the affairs of the island and the nominal sov- ereignty of Turkey, until a few months ago. Italy, Russia and France are the three other powers and they are all understood to be a unit as to the proceedings necessary
 Germany is accused of proferring the belief that another upset in the Balkan states would materially en- nance her scheme to further ag- grandizing western Europe.

HEN IN LEAGUE
 WITH FOOD TRUST

Washington, Feb. 3.--Dr. Harvey ". Wiley intimated at a public food hear ing here that the American hen is in league with the boosters of the cost of living by laying eggs which are too small. But the chief of the bureau of chemistry said it is not the hens fault because she was being bred for com mercial purposes to lay smaller eggs and more of them. A hens egg pro- ducing capacity was limited the doc tor said, and she could produce only so much egg, though it may be in large or small lnstalnaents.

GREAT INCOME
 FROM TROLLEYS
Monthly Gains of Between 8 and 10 Per Cent. Report ed by New Haven Road Eight Per Cent. Dividend Earned In Six Months.

From Boston it is learned that the New Haven railroad continues 10 pro duce extraordinary operating results without the curtailment of malnte- nance expenditures.
 For the first half of it's current fis- cal wear. or from July 1 to Decem- Der 31, 1909, the New Haven in creased it's gross earnings from rail- road sources $3,430,268, or 12.4 per cent. This is a good gain. but less than many of the western roads are doing.
 ton. however, was that the company was able to save 94 per cent, or $3,- 254.614 of this increased gross for net At the same time maintenance was some $29,691 greater than in the same period of 1908. In other words while gross increased lz.4 per cent net gained 33.9 per cent. The SIX months income account of the New Haven gives partial confirmation or the recent assertion of the manage ment that for the period ended De- cember 31, the road earned hxed charges for the first half year and the 8 per cent. dividend on the S100,- coo. GO for the full fiscal year. This may be shown by the following calcu- lation:
 Net earnings for six months
 to December 31-..... SIP, 500 Add s.other income" on basis
 of 1909 actual figures .. 5000, 900 Total net for first six
 months lf'o44,oVO Less fixed charges on basis
 1909 actual figures .... 1O,2O0,OOO Balance for dividends on
 s100,000.000 stock ..... 7,644.50S Equals 7.6 per cent.
 The estimate of "other income" is certainly conservative and if the exact figures were available would beyond doubt bear out the assertion of New Haven officials that the road actually did earn it's per cent. dividend for the full year in the first six months. Other income is of course made up from a variety of sources, chiefly troileys and steamships, and it is en- tirely possible that in calculating the per cent New Haven dividends earned the net profits of these sub sidiaries were taken regardless of whether or not they were paid as dividends into the New Haven treas Ury.
 The New Haven trolleys have been having a splendid year in both Con- necticut and Rhode Island, with monthly gains in gross running be- tween 8 per cent. and 10 per cent, the great bulk of which has been saved for net profits. The Rhode Is land traction lines in particular are in fine earning and physical condi- tion, and the New Haven estimates that, as they stand today, it's trolleys in that state are worth 50 per cent more than they originally cost.
 Some time in the near future the New Haven is likely. to undertake im portant improvements at Fall River, which include among other things the building of a tunnel at that city, which will effect as important operat- ing results as have already been achieved through the Providence tun- mel

ENTlCED GIRL
 TO NEW HAVEN
IN CADET SYSTEM CASE-GIRi. IN SERIOUS CONDITION FROM POISONED PILL.


 New Haven, Feb 3.-Continued in- vestigation by the police into the sup posed cadet system which was reveal ed by the poisoning with corrosive sublimate of Florence Citro. who is still in critical condition at the New Haven hospital has resulted in the ar rest of PasqualeA Toranto, alias Frank Perino, a young Italian who is held on the serious charge of enticing a fe- male into house of i'll fame. The female who is mentioned in the spe- cial charge is Edna Schroeder. the Ger man girl, caught in the raid at Il Olive street. The police claim she told them she had been brought here from Brooklyn by Torano under false representations and placed in this es- tabIishnent about two months ago. The entire party in the affair came here from Brooklyn or New York city of whereabouts.
 No trace has yet been secured of Tony, the man whom the girl in the hospital accuses of having taken her to Olive street from the Congress ave- nue house and giving her the pills which it now develops contained cor rosive sublimate. The police are hard at work on the case which gives prom ise of developing very serious cadet system case.
 While the Citro girl is holding her own her condition is still very serious and she is not by any means out of danger yet.
