New Jerseys Part of New York's
Waterfront.


Waterfront.
From the New York Tribune.
1t is not correct to say, as a
speaker did the other day before the
New Jersey State Chamber of Com
merce, that New York city no longer
has any waterfront property to de-
velop. There are considerable
stretches of undeveloped waterfront
on Manhattan Island itself, while in
other boroughs of this city they are
measured by miles.
But it is quite true, as the same
speaker said, that the New Jersey
shores of the Hudson river and New
York bay are to all intents and pur-
poses a part of New York. They
are that in all respects except politi-
cally, and as such they should be
regarded. Moreover, they are much
closer to the commercial centre of
this city than the greater part of this
city's own waterfront.
Tt will be to the interest of this
city, therefore, as well as of New
Jersey, to have those portions of the
common harbor improved and admin
istered on a uniform plan with the
technically New York parts. So far
as federal jurisdiction extends, that
Is already done. SO far as State,
municipal and private works go, there
should in some way be effected a
community of design and effort COM
mensurate with the community of
interest.

A BiIlion-Doliar Cotton Crop.

From the Wall Street Journal.
Tentative estimates indicate that
the cotton crop of the growth of 1913
at current prices for lint and for
seed will be worth over $1,00O,OO0,0OO,
The highest value in the ten years
of record which the census office has
kept of cotton prior to this season
was 1868, 1901 900 for the crop of 1910.
Last years aggregate value stood
next to that, and was 1920, $50, 900, in
Guiding cotton and cotton seed.
That the biggest crop does not bring
the highest aggregate value is shown
by the experience of 1911. There were
then grown 16, 160,126 running bales,
equal to 16250,276 bales of 500 pounds
each. These figures all included lint
ers But the value of the record crop
of 1911 was only $685., 840, 900, or just
$103, $40, 600 less than the 1910 crop OF
120224 05 running bales.

What Farmers, Money Costs.

From the Charlotte Observer.
Timely in connection with the
movement to finance the growing OF
the country's crops on better terms Is
a bulletin which the Bureau of Sta
tistics has compiled. 1t may be re-
membered that Mr.. B. T.. 1oakum,
the Southwestern railroad man, re-
Gently estimated the average rate
paid by the American farmer, In
GLIDING commissions. renewals, etc.,
at 81 per cent. The bureaus esti-
mate is IT'S. Taking the New Eng
land States, New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania as one group, the
average bank rate to farmers is only
5.96. In all these States the legal
rate of interest is 6 per cent. The
South Atlantic States as group
averaged 1886. "In discounting paper
for farmers" says a North Carolina
banker as quoted here, IAN extra rate
of per cent. obtains, especially
when the time exceeds six months;
but if the farmer is able to carry
a balance sufficient to justify as low
a rate as per cent, he always gets
that rate. No short-time loans could
ever be paid and none are under
taken" 1t is stated that in this Sec
ton farmers often borrow on security
of live stock and cotton crop in the
making. The highest legal rate is in
Florida. which permits 10 per cent.
In the three Western and Southwest
ern groups of States the average rates
to farmers were sos, 9.51 and 500,
respectively, and in some merchants
had to pay about the same.
Thus it appears that the South does
not fare the very worst among Sec
tions in money rates, owing largely,
no doubt, to it's rather close CONNER
cial and banking relations with New
York. But the rates are certainly
high. and precious little money is
borrowed by the Southern farmer at
less than 8 per cent. net. Very often.
when borrowing credit on goods from
merchants, he in effect pays pre-
posterous rate. The pending currency
bill is a fundamental sort of remedy
which offers the farmer at least as
great opportunities as any other
class. Under it's operation the build
ing and loan principle remodeled to
meet his special needs will work out
his complete salvation financially if
once he can be induced to take hold.

WANT BOY SCOUTS
TO Be FEATURED
At INAUGURATION
Scout Masters Are Consider
ing Plans for Work of Or
ganization March 4.

Plans to utilize the Boy Scouts at the
Inauguration in some way that will
bring out effectively the idea behind the
movement are now being perfected ana
Scout Commissioner Martin is hordins
daily conferences with persons here and
with scout managers all over the
country, through correspondence, with
a view to making the boys a feature
of the ceremonies but in other than in
parade matters.
1t is expected that there will be fully
1000 visiting Boy Scouts here. UP to
the present only few of the Atlantic
coast States organizations have signi-
fed their intention of being here at the
time Of thS inaugural, but il Is known
that organizations in other States are
considering the plan, and Ii Is prooaDle
that organizations may come here from
the far West.
There are now more than 900 active
Boy Scouts here and nearly 1000 boys
enrolled so that the total active mem-
bers may be increased considerably. II
has been suggested that the boys might
well be utilized as guides and carry on
bureaus of information, to care for
strangers and aged persons, act as
escorts for prominent men and women
coming to the city as has been done in
several instances by boy cadet organi-
cations in cities where Grand Army
encampments have been held.
Some of the States are expected TO
send large delegations, especially Penn
sylvania and Virginia. An effort is
large delegation from Staunton.

will bring two Boy Scout bands.

STAGE HAND VICTIM
OF SHARPSHOOTER
Woman's Bullet Lands in Neck
of Man Without His Know
ing 1t.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3. = While
standing in the wings of local theater,
where he is employed, John s. Morris
felt a stinging sensation in the back
of his neck. BERTHE Gilman. pretty
little vaudeville actress, who does a
target-shooting stunt, was banging away
at a target, the bell of which Morris
was expected to ring every time the gun
cracked.
Morris decided the bullet must have
glanced against his collar, but he rang
the bell just as faithfully as ever. Then
he forgot the incident.
While on his way home Morris felt
sort of queer about the neck. At first he
thought his collar was too tight. so
he took 1t off, But still he felt queer.
So he stopped in at the German Hos
pital TO have his neck examined.
why, man, there's bullet hole in
your neckr' gasped the dispensary ply
sician.
That so?' inquired Morris laconic-
ally. BERTHE must have landed on me
instead of the target last night" Nor
ris explained to the doctor about the
vaudeville stunt.

APPEAL TO COURT
TO RECALL MANDATE
REVOK|NG LICENSE
Counsel for Proprietor OF
Grand Hotel File Three
Reasons.

Three reasons are set forth in a petit
ton filed in the Court of Appeals today
by Attorneys Henry E. Davis and
Charles w. Darr for the court to recall
its mandate to Police Court to revoke
the license held by Edwin ]. Gardiner,
proprietor of the Grand Hotel.
The attorneys represent to the Appel
late Court that they wish to reargue
the case on a motion contending tfat
the license of Gardiner that the court
sought to revoke expired October 81,
last, and that the judgment of the
court does not affect the defendant s
new license.
1t is claimed by the attorneys that
Rule XXIII of the court provides that
no mandate shall issue within fifteen
days from the date of the opinion or
judgment unless upon special order OF
the court, and that the mandate revok-
ing the license was issued one day after
the opinion was delivered.
The further claim is made that Sec
tion of Rule XIV Of the court, pro-
viding that in cases brought to the
court on writ OF error from the Police
Court the mandate shall issue without
delay, is in conflict with Rule XIII,
and il given effect denies any oppor-
tunity for a reargument or motions.
The third reason assigned in the mo-
ton is that the license held by the de-
fendant expired October 81. 1912, and
there is no license in existence capable
of revocation in the premises. 1t is this
ground on which the fight will be made.
