AUTOMOBILE NrRDERERS.

If that killing Of boy in Bedford
avenue. Brooklyn by an automobile was
not murder what was il! As IL is de-
scribed by witnesses, the car was going
at high speed. A policeman mo-
ment before had warned the chauf-
feur to slacken its pace, but no atten-
ton was paid to the warning. And
after the hoy had been run down ana
hurled dead at his mothers feet. the
chauffeur put on more speed and es-
capped.
The occupants of that automobile
knew that they were violating the law
at the time when they ran down the
10y, for they had just been warned by
the officer. If. therefore, the account
of what happened is accurate, they not
only killed In the act of committing
crime. but they exhibited n wanton dis
regard of human life in proceeding at
bgh rate Of speed through crowded
thoroughfare and in spite of warning.
Their cowardly flight after the murder
only serves to intensity the hope that
they will he made TO suffer the So
verest possible penalty of the law.
Apparently nothing but the execution
for murder Of some of The depraved
users of the automobile will convince
the rest of their kind that other Occu-
pants Of the streets have any rights
which they are bound TO respect.

INFANTS IN DANGER

Supply T. All It Should Be.
/. Editor Of Tho Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In The Tribune Of June there ap-
pearcd q letter signed By benjamin Jurist
director Of the sanitary bureau If the MIX
Dealers Association. I'm which. I'm referring
10 statistics given out by the committee
for the Reduction Of Infant Mortality Of
the New York Milk committee. Mr.. Juris.
SAYS:
The committee makes the direct general
and sweeping charge that this awful
slaughter of innocents was entirely due Ia
the CONSUMPTION Of raw or loose milk
What the committee did say was: the
Health Department claims to be at a loss
70 account FOR this alarming increase. The
committee for the Reduction OF Infant
Mortality Of the New York MIX Committee
e. Of the opinion that some unusual aggra-
waited condition exists. Whether this Is
due to the quality Of New York's milk sup
plv or some other cause should he immc-
diately determined"
About one-half Of New Yorks milk sup
ulv IS sold as loose. or dipped, milk. AMI
this milk is OF such a quality that COM
missioner Lederle advocates labelling IT
good for cooking purposes only In order
to protect infant life.
In another part of the letter the writer
states. The New York Board Of Health
shows that the bacteria counts Of raw milk
ran as low as l5.1s1 bacteria cubic cent?
metre In February and as low as 1890 in
April while these same counts ran az high
as go 100 bacteria in February and as high
as 400. 100 IN April last year
This committee has no available figures
for last year. but 1t has obtained n state
ment from the Department OF Health that

THE "REClJL" or DRESSER.

The result of the dresser inquiry
shows how practica bic a system of re
call exists in this state. The citizens
of Queens. becoming Disguised with the
incompetence of their borough admin
istia ton. collected evidence enough to
make out case Of incapacity against
the Borough President. and brought il to
the attention of Governor Hughes, who
appointed a commissioner TO conduct
an inquiry That commissioner has re
ported. and if Governor Dix acts In ac-
c0rdance with his recommendation Mr..
Gresser will soon be ont Of office.
The findings against dresser are SINH
lar to those upon which Ahearn and
Haffen were removed. Their gravamen
is not corruption. but ineffiCiency. Ac-
cording TO the report, President GresSer
wasted the public funds. appointed in
competents 10 office. paid no attention
10 evidence of corruption and neglect
Of duty on the part of his subordinates.
and administered his borough so loosely
that lie was not aware Of gross mis-
conduct among It's employees. IT Is safe
TO say that if Mr.. Ordway. the commits
sioner. had rendered his report to the
Governor who appointed him Gresser
would lie ousted. But Mr.. Dix is no
