SWEEPER RAISE
NOT POSSIBLE,
SAYS MUNGLE
Works Commissioner
Spritedly Defends
Boards Attitude.

At a meeting of the Board of
Works today Commissioner Mungle,
chairman of the street committee, de-
Tended the action of the board in its
attitude toward the +nickel-an-hour"
demand of the street laborers.
The commissioner supplemented his
statement with figures tending to
show the amounts available in the
past three years for street purposes.
That an increase in wages to the
street cleaners has been a physical
impossibility'' was the declaration of
Mr.. Mungle. He said:
"Criticism has been made and has
been kept in circulation for some
Interior motive, apparent to the ordi-
nary observer, that this board has
refused to comply with a request for
an increase of wages to its street
cleaning and other employees gener-
ally. Granting the merit of such a
request this board is in a position
where 1t is an absolute impossibility
to do what is requested.
Taking the year 1909 as a basis
of comparison with this year d912) 1t
will readily be seen hat to grant the
6tiiOhilA u IN tl6t III NFS1e II
for by the employees generally 0ndef
this Department. and TO keep and
maintain the streets and highways
up to the present standard of eff
cheney is a physical impossibility with
the money to be made available.
I'm 1909 the appropriation made by
Common Council was $685.. 800, to
which must be added the balance
forward from 1908. $3.911.S6, making a
total for hat year of S341 Ais
.'The amount recommended by the
finance committee for this year G912)
Is but s345, 900, and as there is no
balance. forward from 1911 tbs depart
ment will have but SS.5sS.14 more for
general maintenance than the year
1909. three years ago.
ION January l. 1909, there were
nearly 1914 miles of paved streets TO
clean and maintain, to which during
the years 1909. 1910 and 1911 were
added about 27A miles, making a to-
tai mileage January 1. 1912. of POI 2-3
miles. an Increase of about II per
cent. during the three years.
THE general cost of maintenance
of streets has increased, al least, in
the same proportion.
1T may be said that the added
mileage of paved streets is under a
maintenance guarantee for five or
more years. Granting such to be the
case, guarantees on streets paved in
former years are expiring in a much
greater proportion than the new
streets added.
"The following tables show clearly
the net amounts available to this
department for the past three years,
together with the proposed appro-
preparation for this year Q912).

URGES MORE EFFICIENCY
Prof. Kelly Miller Addresses
Annual Meeting of the
American Negro Academy.

That the colored girl filing a domes-
tics position in Washington Is better
of economically than the colored girls
who teach i'm Maryland and Virginia was
asserted by Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard
University at the sixteenth annual meet
ing OF the American Negro Academy
held in the Colored Y. NJ C. A. building
today.
Prof. Miller advocated making the girls
and men in service more efficient. for, he
said. II they did not become more eff
cient they would soon be crowded out Of
domestic service by the white race,
which. he said. was already starting to
crowd the lower positions. He said sta
tistics show that the majority of colored
people in this country are engaged in ag-
ricultural and domestic pursuits.
Teaching and preaching are the two
main professions in which colored people
of this country are engaged. he said. To
this class. he declared, the majority must
look for inspiration and direction.
Prof. Miller advocated the publication
by the academy of monographs dealing
with the race question. The matter will
be taken up by the executive committee.

CAT PREVENTS ESCAPE
Of JESSE POMEROy
Prisoner Saws Bars From
Door, But MeWing of AMI
NAL Attracts Guard.

BOSTON, December 3O.-Jesse Pome-
roy. whose crimes startled the country
nearly forty years ago, attempted UNI
successfully to escape from the state
prison at Charlestown today. Pomeroy
is serving a life sentence for torturing
two children to death when he was thir-
teen years old.
The convict left his cell by saving
three bars from the door. The mewing
of a cat, which followed Pomeroy along
the corridor attracted the attention of
Thomas Brassel an attendant. shortly
before daylight. and when he ordered the
murderer to throw up his hands the prls-
oner made no resistance.
Had Put Dummy in Bed.
Pomeroy had made careful plans to
escape. A dummy had been arranged In
his bed so that the officer on duty would
not notice his absence. The steel bars OF
the cell door were cut by a saw made out
of two small pieces of steel. The prison
officials have not learned how the MUIR
derer obtained the pieces of metal.
Pomeroy, who Is fifty-three years OF
age. was sentenced to be hanged in 1874
for the brutal murders of a small girl
and bow Katie Curren and III. NJ. Million,
in south Boston. The sentence was com.
muted to life imprisonment in solitary
confinement.
The convict has attempted twice before
to escape Aided by his mother. he has
netitioned every governor OF the state for
thirty years to grant him pardon.
