AFTER NEW INDUSTRIES.

That the growth of city is TO ali
extent dependent upon the activl-
ties and vigilance of its citizens is
shown by the recent action OF the
Chamber of Commerce of New York.
1t is a great honor to be chosen to
the presidency Of that powerful bust
ness body, and at the present time
Lewis Nixon, the ship builder, occu-
pies that position. Mr.. Nixon at a
meeting of the Chamber few days
ago introduced the following pream-
BILE and resolution:
"The commercial welfare Of the city
is conserved by uniform increasem
the number and the continued better
ment of productive establishments.
INSTANCES occur where manage
ments desiring to provide new fac
tories or extensions leading to create
efficiency are induced by the imme-
date and greater increase in taxation
and other burdens to locate elsewhere.
EVERY new or improved factory
is of far-reaching influence upon the
industrial life of our city. and IN the
pcrpetuation and efficiency of such
establishments every citizen should
take public interest
every loss of productive plant Is
a check upon the industrial growth OF
the city and in measure re1iec-
ton upon the enterprises of its com
mercial bodies; therefore be it
'"Resolved, That such committee as
may be selected by the president Of
this chamber be requested to lnves-
tipate such conditions and to recon-
:ynend such measures as by remission
or reduction of taxes for a term OF
years, or otherwise, may attract new
industries to the city and encourage
the fullest development of existing
establishments"
1t seems strange that a great City
like New York should be considering
means of securing additional manu'
featuring enterprises, but the incl
dent shows that the business met
of the metropolis know that 1t is the
way to build city, and that even 81
large city is not idle along that line
How much more important, then II
it that Alexandria should endeavor u
accomplish more in this direction.

Europe in a Crisis.

Eurone is facing one of the most
critical weeks in her history. 1t may
end in a war in which the whole OF
Europe will be involved or it may be
remembered as week in which diplo-
macy succeeded in solving problems
that appeared insoluble to many.
The Bulgarian army is on the point
of entering Constantinople and this
will be resented by Russia. At the
same time the Turkish capital IS
threatened with massacre from with
in.
On the other side of the Balkan pc
ninsula there is an acute conflict be-
tween the aims of Austria-Hungary
and Servia which, if it is not arranged
might start a general European out
break.
A special dispatch from Constanti-
NOBLE saws that in the opinion of Eu-
ropean doctors the disease which had
broken out among the wounded Is cer-
tainlv Asiatic cholera. Several bat
talions of Syrian troops nave been re-
patriated, apparently on account OF
cholera.

pending for four building Sizes, on
which handsome houses will be erect

dences built by Alexander Suter and
F. L. Slaynlaker this year is nearing
completion, and is the Only one of the
four that is unsold.
There are also now under construc-

/ SMALL BOY IN THE DOCK.
Among the prisoners in the dock of
the Police Court this morning was ar
eight-year-old boy named Herbert
Sutherland, who was charged with
improper conduct towards a little
girl, also with attacking smaller
children who are sent by their par
ents to stores. The father of the lit
tie girl on whose complaint the boy
had been arrested stated that the lit
tie defendant was virtually homeless
He is supposed to reside with his
grandmother, but no one seems to be
interested in the child ana
the and an older brother
named Edward Sutherland, have
no one TO look after them. Hence
they are a source of chronic annoyance
TO other people. The police corrooo-
rated the statement of the man, al
leging that the boys could be found
in the streets at all hours of the NIGHT.
Justice Cation ordered that the boy he
held until a proper home could DC
found for him. His brother VIII be
arrested and similarly disposed Of.

terrible in appearance, staggered
through the streets in driving ran
and wind storm. No one paid any
attention to them. They had no shell

bakery an officer threw out handouts
of bread and the soldiers fought for
the loaves. More than half Of them
got nothing and turned away ragged,
pallid and weak.
Gall the houses were closed. Pract-
ically all the population had fled, and
those who remained barricaded them
selves within, trembling with fear
The soldiers knocked violently at the
barred doors. Groups shivering in the
cold tried the doors of stables to seek
refuge; even the stables remained IN
hospitable. Refugees smashed thell
way into shops and devoured all they
found, including raw vegetables anS
candles, and sucked at pieces Oh
greasy wood.

HORRORS OF WAR.

A newspaper correspondent who has
reached Constantinople from the Val

cry of the Turkish soldiers and the
disorganization of the Turkish army.
He says:
!. "We have witnessed the failure OF
the Turk as a soldier. We have seen
him dying of hunger, worn out BY
fatigue, wrecked by suffering and run

EXPRESS STRIKE FINDS
ECHO in ASSAULT CASE
One of Strikers Held for Al
legged Attack.

A sequel of the expressmen's strike
which has just been settled was
heard in the Third Precinct Court
today, when Peter Farrell, 26 years
old. Of % ST. Francis street, was
charged with assault and battery.
Farrell was arrested yesterday by
Sergeant Kull and Plainclothesman
Brex after, it is alleged, he had tried
to hide in a harness room at the
Peoples Express Company stable, 300
Passaic avenue.
The complainant against Farrell
was Otto Hockedel, of 2021h Sherman
avenue, shipping clerk for the C.
b. Smith Company, wholesale drug
gists. 1t is alleged that while taking
the place of regular driver in max
ing trip to the Peoples place
Hockedel was attacked by crowd of
striking teamsters in BoWery street
and pulled off the wagon. A descrip-
ton of the men was furnished Brex
and Kull and they went to the ex-
press company's stable. Farrell, the
police say, ran to the harness room
when he recognized the police.
Hockedel picked Farrell as one of
his assailants from a line of ten
other prisoners. Judge Hahn fixed
bail at $500 to await the action of
the grand jury.
AT the time of the attack the wagon
was loaded with drugs for the cns
Hospital. 1t is said that the stonS
and clubs which were flung into the
wagon damaged the contents to the
extent of $500.

PROSPECTS POOR
FOR BUTTER DROP
Local Dealers Pessimistic Re-
garding Situation, Despite
Amount in Storage.

Local dealers are at present ex-
eeedingly pessimistic regarding the
chances Of a drop in butter PRICES.
following the Christmas holidays.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
storage warehouse men win soon be
compelled to place on the market
large quantities of storage. butter
in order TO make room for new ship
ments from Western dairies, It Is be-
lieved that Newark prices will not.
be affected to any great extent. An
advance Of half a cent in the better
grade was recorded yesterday, and
indications are that there will be sew
eral more jumps within the next few
days
AS Newark dealer yesterday ex-|
pressed 1t:
Butter at present has a black eye
with most people around here. owing
to the quantities Of Storage butter
on the market. This has mostly been|
kept since last June. Nobody wanta|
1t, and in many cases viii go wzfho1f|
unless they can afford TO buy the
better grade"
This last was selling at Al and ~
cents. The storage" product ranged
in price from 80 to 30 cents. Tbe|
dealer said that several of his Gus
toners had complained that il smalIed|
like deeayed fish. As the reported
was talking TO him an old woman|
purchased a half-pound Of the arsicIz|
after first carefully smelling Of 1tI
She had evidently been one Of fh1|
victims. for she declared that sl1e'
wouldn't take any If it was that
''fishy kind"
When asked IL the influx of the fresh
article would affect prices, the deaier'
replied: ''It is hard to tell a de4
cided drop in the cheaper grades
would, OF course, force the zancy|
prices down. but I don't think knat|
any great change need be looked
for"
