Referee Rules Milk Can Noises

NEW YORK, June 21.-The noise

residence on Murray Hill should pc

findings of ex-Justice David Leventritt.
who as referee has just completed the
taking of testimony in the case of GER
tain property-owners against Mrs. Col
lis p. Huntington and the White Cross
Milk Company.
The recommendations OF the referee
are that Mrs. Huntington may properly
be made a codefendant in permanent
injunction proceedings against the milk
concern because she leased to the milk
company her private stable while there
was in force an agreement among the
property-owners that the stable was to
be tolerated for private use only. The
findings throughout are for the
plaintiffs.

the trains headed west as they went
out of there: yet at the same time 7

could not change the feeling.

Where's the sprInkIer.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Is there such a thing in Newark as a
street sprinkler If so, why Is 1t riot
used frequently on Broad and Market
streets? The condition of those streets,
bad enough as it is with poor pave
ment, is absolutely fierce on windy
days. when dense lust clouds not only
fill the eyes of pedestrians. but also
Sits into the stores and does thousands
of dollars worth of damage TO mer-
chants stocks.
The lack of sprinlling on the streets
named is something that should be
remedied at once as the cost in COM
parison to the saving that would re-
suit to business men and in the COM
fort of pedestrians would be very
small. BUSINESS MAN.

NO EXTRA ANTITOXIN FOR
JULY 4 in NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, June 21.-The health
department will make no extra supply
of tetanus antitoxin this year in prep
aration for the Fourth of July. 1t was
said yesterday that there had been
such a slight demand for the extra
amount prepared last year that los
of that supply was still intact, and that
what was left ove would be ample to
meet all demands this year. Moreover,
it is believed that there will be no
great increase in the number of cases
requiring use of antitoxin this year., as
the idea of a sane Fourth seems to
have taken a firm hold.

TAXES PAYABLE SEMI-ANNUALLY.

NV EW YORK city is to have a semiannual collection of taxes
AN in place of the present system of annual collections. and it
is estimated that by the change of method the city will save
$2OO0,OO0 annually in interest charges on temporary loans made in
anticipation of taxes. BY semiannual collections of taxes the
amount of money to be borrowed on temporary loans will be re-
duced one-half. The new law makes all of the personal taxes and
hall of the taxes on real estate fall due on May l, with June 1 as
the penalty date, and the other half of the real estate taxes to fall
due on November l, with December as the penalty. A premium is
allowed to encourage the paying up of all the realty taxes at the first
date. Newark and municipalities generally collect taxes annually
and many of them issue temporary loans in advance s 20 that they
may spend the money in advance. The process is wasteful. New
York has set a good example.

"stItch, Stitch, Coronation Hymn.

y
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
Andrew Carnegie's statement to the
effect that the coronation ceremonies
and what goes with it is a wicked ex-
penditure of money, in view of the
crime and misery that infest the Sums
of London. hits the nail on the head.
1t Is incomprehensible to me that in
the year 1911, when we have the press
and other engines of enlightenment,
people should still stoop to adore a GER
tain mar and woman cast in the same
common mould as they themselves,
but who are artificially exalted by a
custom so stale, fiat and Improbable
that it smells to heaven.
And, what is more, l utterly fail to
understand how the English people, in
.telligent as they are. and almost "in the
foremost files of time" as their own
Tennyson says, should stand for such
nonsense.
I would suggest that when the great
pageant for the benefit of the lear peo-
pie who will eventually pay for it
passes some peculiarly patriotic point
the dear people will remember their
other poet, Tom" Hood and his Song
OF the Shirt. B. B.

THE TRUNK SEWER IN SIGHT AT LAST.

WAV ITH Rutherford's action last night all the municipalities in
WY Bergen and Hudson counties comprised in the Passaic
sewerage district have given their adhesion to the trunk
sewer enterprise. In Passac county only Paterson as vet stands
aloof, but the decision by the icechancellor denying the request for
Van extension of time for five years serves to bring that municipality
up to the scratch. Paterson has no alternative and is bound to come
in, Bloomfield will sign the contract. Orange is not yet committed
for or against the trunk sewer. East Orange, Monclar and Glen
Ridge, infatuated with the idea of local disposal in Beleyille <and
Bloomfield territory, will. continue to dicker with the Imhof system
contractor. Meanwhile more than the necessary number of munich
palites having contracted the commission can proceed to build the
sewer. And it is high time.

THE WOOL BILL UP TO THE SENATE.

m N embarrassing issue is thrust upon the Republican majority
IlA in the Senate i'll the wool bill passed by the House yester-
day. Wool is a necessary of life and it is used by all classes
OF people in their clothing, their bedding and in other necessary
ways. But the excessive tariff rates on wool and manufactures of
wool In the present tariff, which were enacted to make swollen
fortunes for a few favored men, compel millions of people of humble
means to buy shoddy clothing and shoddy for bedding. The health
ola nation, as well as it's pocket, is seriously affected by policy of
faYoritism for a small and selfish class. The House of Representa-
tves has now said that this robber policy must end. But it cannot
be ended unless the Senate consents. The question is whether
the Senate is going to stand by the fattened interests that extract
many millions annually from the people, or whether it will come to
the peoples rescue. The answer to that question is going to have
an immense influence on the results of the national elections of 1912.

Better service needed.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Can nothing be done to force the
Public Service Corporation to run mora
cars during the rush houre? The on
ditions that exist at the present time
full. | refer particularly to the closed
pay-as-you-enter cars. The cars are
so crowded between the hours of S
and I in the evening that it is impos-
sible TO ride with comfort. Nothing
will spread disease so quickly as this
crowding together of people, and l think
some action should be taken to compel
the trolley company TO improve the
service. JAMES MASON.

kESpEARE IN CORONATION CEREMONIES.

TT HE splendid tribute to Shakespeare in London last night may
Ii be interpreted as an answer to the image.breakers who assert
that Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare. but that Lord
Bacon did; that the Bard of Avon was in reality no bard at all and
no dramatist, but only a mask for the great intellect that was not
above the temptation of a bribe. The Baconian theory has a sur.
prsing number of intelligent believers in Europe and America, but
their theory is so fanciful and has been so well riddled that the fame
of the greatest of great writer's and teachers is uniimmed in it's
spendor.
