HARBoR POLLUTION A MENACE
Sewerage Commission Reports Drain
age Is Assimuated, Not Flushed to Sea-

In its report, just published. the Metro
politan Sewerage Commission declares that
the sewage which is being emptied into New
York Harbor is creating conditions which
are not only unsanitary, but menace to
public health. The commission recommends
that an interstate board be created by
New York and New Jersey TO carry out a
system which will protect the harbor for
all time to come
Several thousand chemical and bacterial
analyses were made by the commission TO
determine the digestive capacity of the
harbor for sewage Tidal studies, carried
on in cooperation with the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey, showed that
the drainage which Is discharged into the
harbor is not flushed out to sea, but is
assimilated by the water They say the
water will turn black and purify and
foul smelling gases will be given of.

the State Department to-day that per
son closely connected with former Presi-
dent Zelaya of Nicaragua had recently
purchased ship called the William Colby
Of 1913 tons register. and had sent her TO
Norfolk, Va. There she is reported TO nave
loaded and sailed on June rs for destlne-
ton not far from Bluefields- On account OF
the uncertainty of the information, the de-
partment has taken no action. 1t is under
stood, in regard to the matter
The Tribune learned last night the
highest authority that the partner OF
former President Zelaya- to whom the
State Department has referred several
times without making public his identity.
is James Dietrich. He is also the person. II
Is believed, who closed the deal for the
purchase Of the ship William Colby Diet
rick has recently been in Norfolk
James Dietrich Is an American who OBJ
tanned several mining concessions from
Zelaya while the latter was President OF
Nicaragua In one of these transactions
he interested some we'll known men in Pitts
burg. One of the concessions was at Rio
Grande, not far from Bluefelds which Is
believed to be the destination of the Will
lam Colby.
Dietrich now has an office at No 80
Church street where he IS looking after
the interests of the American and Euro
pean Financial Development Company and
the Central American Railway Company,
in which concerns, 1t is understood, Zelaya
is a director.
The absolute confirmation Of the report
that Zelaya in his effort to help the Ma
driz government assumed the responsible
ity for the payment of the Venus expedi-
tion-steamer and muntiOns-was received
last night from Managua- This fnforma-
ton adds that Zelaya has Instructed his
son-in-law, Joaquin Pasos, a banker, TO

amount of $780, to A ]. Martin. Brit
ish Consul at Managua, who represents
there the persons who sold the Venus TO
Zelayas agents. The $4,000 was. it is
said. the payment for the vessel A local
banking firm paid on Zeiaya's order $4,000
for the ammunition.
From the same trustworthy source II Is
learned that President Madriz has agreed
to pay Zelaya 100000 in gold for all OF
the latter's property in Nicaragua This
agreement was reached by Senior Pasos
acting for ZeIaya. and Minister Genera
Francisco Baca. representing Madrtz, the

FIGHT AGAINST WOODRUFF
Kings County Republicans Talk
ina of Forcing Retirement.
KRACKE'S NAME is HEARD
Most Likely to Lead Movement
of Progressives, His Friends
in Brooklyn Declare.

Kings County Republicans were quoted
yesterday predicting that one of the sure
results of the attitude taken by the Legis-
lature In defiance of President Taft Gov
ernor Hughes. Colonel Roosevelt and other
progressive leaders would be a move to
defeat Timothy L. Woodruff as the Re
publican leader Of the county. AS nat
ural sequence of this would come his re-
tirement from the Craftsmanship of the
state committee, they said
There has been talk before of defeating
Woodrun's leadership in Brooklyn but
this year the movement has some strength
back of It, and those who propose to make
the fight say they have the sentiment OF
the mass OF Republicans In Kings County
with them.
Naval Officer F. J. II. Kracke is said to
be the man who Is most likely to lead the
fight He does not want the leadership and
Is adverse to making a fight against Wood
run. with whom he has always been on
terms of personal friendship Those who
are determined, however, that the Wood
run leadership shall cease believe that by
all odds Mr.. kracke is the strongest man
to take up the battle.
While Chairman Woodruff has not openly
taken any part In the legislative affairs
since he assisted in defeating Senator Hin
man as leader of that body, he has not
changed his attitude in the slightest de-
gree He has given the odd guard" rep
resentatives In the Legislature his influence
In the fight they have made against Gov
ernor Hughes and his policies, the pro-
gressive Republicans say. and is held as
much responsible for the result as William
Barnes, jr, and others
Ihose who are planning to challenge the
oodruff leadership in Kings declare that
with the present temper of the RepubIi-
cans there it should not be a hard matter
to encompass his downfall at the coming
primaries
Naval Officer Kracke went swav las,
night for two weeks vacation in Maine
" nile ne is gone the movement against
woodruff may assume shape. and he NAV
De asked to take 1t up on his return 1t is
pointed out by his friends that wheress
chairman Woodruff was able to hold most
OF the Senators and Assemblymen in line
against the Hinman-Green bill at the 1rs+
session OF the Legislature. Naval Officer
kracke was able to turn the votes of three
Assembiymen and two Senator's There
were only five Assemblymen and one Sen
ator from Kings for the Hinman-Greer
bill On Thursday and Yesterday there
were eight Assembymen and three Senators
from Kings on the side Of the Cobb bill
! Nhen there was some suggestion or
Thursday afternoon that there might b.
caucus Of the Kings County Republican
Legislative delegation, Mr.. Kracke jumped
/ was ready to fight for the Cobb bill If Their,
had peen any further opportunity.

lever IN party responsibility and party or
sanization. I stin hold strongly to that
belief But what was my surprise when l
reached Albany to find that gentlemen 5
agreements had at all critical emergencies
taken the place of q genuine party system:
that these agreements and arrangements
were not az all competitions in the public
interest. but usually conspiracies in re
straint Of the common veal. They are
made for the purpose Of checking the grow
Ing power Of the people of choking the
public interest with the tares of private
privilege. The evidences of this are so
many and have grown so marked of late
that the humblest citizen OF the state no
longer doubts the fact
Yesterday at Albany not even the in
huence OF the President OF the United
States, not even he influence Of Theodore
Roosevelt, the mCsJ widely known and re-
spected representative of popular govern

OF a remarkable public servant In the per
san Of q great Governor could avail for a
moment against the selfish intrigue Of

leaders in Republican ranks. a small Re

power which by right belongs to them.
Governor Hughes has been accused Of
wrecking party organization. It is not
Hughes. but The frequent bipartisan con-
spiracies in the Legislature AGAINST the
public interest which have made havoc Of
party government. The people of the state
have lost confidence in the organization Of
both parties in the Legislature They real
lze that artstocraCy and privileges have had
better chance than democracy and com
mon veal In the face Of an ohloquy and
hate not unparalleled. but unusual. In the
history OF American politics Governor
Hughes has fought for nearly four years

people Of the state, and with the best citi-
zenshi9 Of the state Of all classes and
creeds at his back, he has won Partial
