M'ADOO's SUBWAY PROPOSALS.

mREsIDENT MADOO, of the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad
liz Company, makes d proposition to the Public Service Com
mission in New York that seems reasonable enough for ac-
ceptance. Mr.. MeAdoo's company is prepared to spend fifty mil
lions, or as much more as may be needed, for the equipment of a
subway system to be built by the city from the Bronx to the
Battery, with a line also under Broadway from Tenth street to
Thirty third street TO connect with the present McAdoo system. Mr.
McAdoo requires also a subway from a point on the projected main
line under Wall street and the East River and through Brooklyn by
a described route. The company with its money will build an
extension from Thirtythird street to the Grand Central Station
and make connection also at Fortysecond street with the proposed
main line. The condition is that the operating contract shall 90 to
his Company upon stipulated terms. There is to be an extra five
cent fare for carriage over the McAdoO Hudson river tunnel line
The Interborough has acted right along as if it had no competitor
and had the city at its mercy. The aim of the Interborough is to
control all transportation in Greater New York. That company
yields powerful influences, but if there is no pooling of interests
between the Interborough and the McAdoo company the city is
likely to come into its own and make terms that will not be wholly
in the interest of private capital.

Would Abolish Canal,

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Whose fault was it that the dead
body of yesterdays canal victim was
allowed to remain in it's murky waters
for more han three hours, to the
qualification of a morbid crowd? The
body was found before noon and 1t
was after 8 o'clock when the gruesome
spectacle was at an end. During all
this time crowds of people stood on
the Washington street and Halsey
street bridges eagerly staring at the
mutilated human form that was float
Ing at the end of a rope.
1t was n of the most nauseating
sights that has ever afflicted the citi-
zens who are compelled to use these
bridges. The police at least should
have made the crowd move on" This
fatality and it's disgusting sequence
in the heart of a big city is but an
other argument for the speedy abol-
ishment of the dirty old canal.

Election l. Favored.
:or of the Evening Star:

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
l notice by your issue Of yesterday
that the Essex Assembly are for Sem
ator Smith in the United States Senate.
To be candid, sincere and as short as
possible, I simply want to say that it
is the only course that the entire
Democratic assemblymen and senators
should pursue.
I have talked the subject over with
q great many of my friends. and they
agree with me that it is proper
that, as a grateful acknowledgment and
recognition of the services rendered
them by Mr.. Smiths influence and
their unanimous choice. The only in
f1uences to the contrary are prejudicial
personal feelings and display of bigotry
caused by racial and religious idiosyn-
c~rasies, which I ard others of OPP
posite beliefs to Mr.. Smith thought
had disappeared from the make
up of all gentlemen or were
impossible to originate in any public
source that was dignified and anti
Huguenot. OF course, those who abuse
their American free-born right to exer-
else their expressions of justice by at
lacking born-bred gentlemen like Mr..
Smith are indeed unworthy of notice,
either as individuals or as publicists
Yours respectfully,

There is a lot of significance in the
statement made by a young mar In
Vienna, on trial for killing a young
woman without ~provocation. He said:
81 had decided to adopt the profession
of a distinguished criminal" Literature
and the stage-the division is made
advisedly-are making the "distin-
guished criminal" altogether too ro-
mantle a character. The police of
Paris complained that scores of mis-
guided individuals endeavoring to en-
ploy the picturesque methods of car
sene Lupin" have caused them a great
deal of trouble since the creation OF
the French Raff1es. Gaboriau and
Conan Doyle, rather than those writers
who idealize the criminal, seem to
have all the better of it in the matter
of furnishing object lessons for the i'm
pulsive.

REduLAnoN or WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

nm OUNCILMAN CALHOUN, of the Orange Council, is right IL
" saying that the matter of protection of the people from
false weights and measures can better be taken care OF oy
the State. There is needed, first, a stringent State law, and, second
a State authority. AS the STAR has pointed out, welghts ana
measures is a subject for State regulation. A situation Is pre-
scented that is peculiar to no particular locality but is common
throughout the whole State. People travel from one municipality
Or county to another to make purchases. Thousands OF people
living in other municipalities regularly make their purchases IN
Newark. That municipal authority has been utterly incompetent
is too plain for contradiction. Considerations that serve to parayze
local inspection would have no influence with the State depart
ment. The penalties of tbe law for offenders are also inadequate.
In most cases where fraud has been detected the punishment has
amounted to no more than confseation of the fraudulent weights
or measures.

THE MoNEY-LEhDNG SHARK IN EVIDENCE

TTaHERE is no more disreputable form OF robbery than that which
is practised by the usurer. In suits that have been begun
against a moneylender in jersey City the fact is brought
out that one of his victims paid him nearly a thousand dollars in
interest and charges on a loan of sixty dollars. There is a State
law which IS supposed to protect borrowers from the usurer, but the
law has beer violated with IMMUNITY. 1t appears also that in this
case, and in many cases, the city clerk has honored the assignment
of city pay warrants to the mOneylender, and has also withheld
pension warrants for his benefit BY a decision Of the courts the
city clerk is liable in all such cases. The moneylending shark
exists in every city of New Jersey and has many victims. The
Legislature was solicited from year to year to pass a law that
would give adequate protection against nsury, but the law that
was finally passed was a compromise that the sharks could get
around. The Hudson County delegation IN the next Legislature
should take inspiration from this case in Jersey City and introduce
q bill to put an end to the extortion.

Locking the Stable. Etc.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
After the arrest of the Burr Brothers,

brokers, in New York yesterday, Post
master General Hitchcock said people

five years "by fraudulent use of the

TRENTON 10 A V A BETTER GOVERNMENT.

eaHE whirligig of politics has brought about a change of control
in the Trenton city government for the first time in more
than fifteen years. During the long period of Republican
rule many abuses have crept in. Offices have been multiplied,
official salaries have been increased and department heads have
paid little attention to their duties, leaving them to subOrdinates.
We see much of that in State government. The new Democratic
broom will sweep out most of the abuses and a better government
will be inaugurated with the New Year. Trenton city officials are
all cogs in the political machine and are most actively employed
during political campaigns, and sometimes in ways that are
doubtful. Municipal government at Trenton, the capital city of the
State, ought to be a model for the State. Trenton has come very
far short of that ideal. 1t cannot be worse under Democratic rule
than it has been, while there is every reason to believe that it will
be much improved.

for winter to do its annual turn and
give way to good flying weather. AS
a result we find bird-men assembled in

An attorney representing the shippers
told members of the Interstate Com
merce Commission that it was unnec-
essary for railroads to increase freight
rates to meet increased expenses. He
said scientific management of rail-
roads would result in a saving for
them of $1,000, 900 a day. 1t should be
a comparatively simple matter for the
railroads, even in this hour of their
trial and tribulation, to make ends
meet after such an economy had been
effected. Granting, for the sake of ar
gument, that the attorney for the ship
pers was not carried away by his en-
thusiasm, and that his plan would ac-
complish all he promises, it is exceed
ingly doubtful if the railroads could be
prevailed upon voluntarily to ~relinquish
the privilege of advancing freight rates.

CARROLL-KELLER BETTING IS EVEN
EDDIE HANLON WILL BE REFEREE

Jimmy Carroll. the clever little San
Francisco bantam weight, and Sammy
Keller, the shifty Briton, are about
primed and ready to face the music at
Dreamland rink Friday night when
they hook UP in 10 round encounter.
The last detail of the match was ar
ranged last night when Promoter Louis
Blot appointed Eddie Hanlon the third
man in the ring.
Hanlon is q. very popular choice,sas he
stands well with all the fans, not only
here, but on the other side of the bay.
Eddie has done a lot Of refereeing since
he retired from the game Of give and
take and it must be said for him that he
has yet to make a decision which got
him in bad with any of the fans. This
is the best recommendation he could
possibly have.
All bets will be paid off on Hanlon's
decision and this Is expected to do away
with a lot of the confusion which.
marked the bout last month between
Moran and Burns. Before the fight it
was announced that the wagers would
be decided on the opinions of the three
morning papers, but the cut was
switched at the last minute and many
of those who put up their money had to

be content to take the referees private
say so.
According to the best information OBJ
tainable there will be no interference at
the hands of the police or the district
attorney. Promoter Blot says that he
has been instructed to go ahead with
his show. He has also been granted
permission to have the referee give his
decision at the conclusion Of each mill.
Thus far the wagering on the coming
encounter has been even. and the
chances are that there will be little or
no change till the moment the men
enter the ring. They met two weeks
ago in six round setto in Oakland,
and Referee Eddie Smith declared Kel-
Ter the victor, though many were of
the opinion that draw would have
been a much more satisfactory de-
cision.
Before the last mill Carroll ruled a
to 1 shot over the English boxer, so
when Keller made such a wonderful
showing it occasioned a whole lot, of
surprise all along the line Since then
Keller has managed to win over many
an admirer and, unless all signs fail.
