TAXICAB GRAFT OF
AMAZING MAGNITUDE

NEW YORK. May H-With
graft exposures of every sort ,om-
ing so rapidly that it is almost inn
possible to keep track of them, the
city is nevertheless sitting up and
taking notice of revelations which
indicate that public officials and po-
lice have had just about 100000
worth of free taxicab rides during
the last year.
Moreover, while this graft was be-
ing distributed, it is stated that the
drivers for the taxicab trust have
been practically immune from arrest
for violating the traffic regulations.
This surprising state of affairs has
come to light as result of an eff
fort to reduce taxicab charges in this
city to somewhere near reasonable
basis and to do away with the pri-
vate stands in front of hotels and
restaurants for which the taxicab
trust pays large amounts of money
not to the city but to the owners
of the hotels and restaurants in
question.
A proposal to reduce the cost OF
taxicab charges has been before the
Board of Aldermen for more than
a year and their slothfulness in pro-
viding relief for situation very evil
IDENTIFY demanding attention has fin
ally led to an investigation which
has brought about a revelation OF
the graft which has been going on
in this connection. Aside from the
fact that this investigation has al
ready revealed free rides to the
amount of about 100000 a year
rendered by the taxicab trust, which
cost that trust about S250,0O0 a year,
the most surprising development is
the treatment accorded to the indie
pendent taxicab lines. The Assistant
District Attorney promises a SEN
sation when the time comes to re-
veal the names of the officials who
have enjoyed free rides. Altogeth-
er it begins to look as though it
may be eventually possible to use
taxicabs in this city at a reasonable
rate. As soon as this occurs, how
ever, various officials will probably
do much less riding and consider
ably more walking than at present.

BIG CUT is MADE
IN PRICE OF ELECTRICIT

EDMONTON, Alta, May %
Users of electricity for lighting and
power purposes will be the first
to benefit directly from the municipal
ownership of public utilities in Ed
monitor by a reduction of from l21l
to rs per cent in rates, effective
early in June. A. w. Ormsby,
superintendent of the department,
which has a surplus of more than
100000, today recommended a cut
of l2A per cent in light rates. now
eight cents per k. W. h., and Is per
cent reduction in power rates, now
four cents, with a sliding scale for
manufacturing concerns. The COM
missioners favor the cut.
The total profits of all the pub
iicly-owned utilities in Edmonton
was $4,000 last year. The street
railway reported large deficit on
account of extraordinary charges
and extensions and improvements,
but the light and power depart
ments earned more than sufficient
to cover the losses. The water de-
partment was operated at a profit
The city charges 81 for Is tickets,
good at all hours, with universal
transfer; labor tickets, good during
certain hours in the morning and
evening. eight for Is cents,
students ticket, good at all hours,
twelve for Is cents. Twelve million
passengers were carried in 1912, as
against 1,812,490 in 1909.
Mayor William Short, who is also
chairman of the board of city COM
missioners, said today that reduc-
tons will be made in other depart
ments as soon as possible. The
street railway showed a slight profit
in April, he added, and it is expected
that this will be increased with
lower power charges. Ten miles of
lines will be built and placed in
during this year.

~As long as there is left on this

Memorial Day be as sacredly OBJ
served as il there was a regiment
on hand" was the statement made
Yesterday by a soldier of the Civil
War. The thinned ranks were IN
evidence yesterday when only a
SQUAD marched up the hill to do
homage to those who had dropped
out of the long line of other days.
Never before in the score OF years
since Barrett Post of Prescott par
ticipated in laying the emblem of
affection on the cold mound of a
departed comrade, had the attend
ance of the old soldier withered to
such a number as answered the roA
call yesterday.
THE better the day. the better the
deed" however. was beautifully ex-
emplified in the earnest devotion OF
the living toward the dead. Only
fifteen old soldiers mustered, but
the attendance of the public far out
stretched any similar occasion for
many years. The grave of Comrade
Ferguson was chosen from the i'm
pressive rites, which again brought
home to the soldier and the people
that the Grim Reaper had claimed
at least one who SO calamity figured
in keeping green the memory OF the
days of so long ago.
A beautiful scene also was the
mingling of the young with the old,
IN the hundred or more of public
school children, who caroled the ma
fional anthem and other appropriate
numbers, reminding the fires of
patriotic devotion.
Miss Gale, in charge, was highly
commended for her vocal training
ability, and received many compli-
ments from the grizzied men of the
past. A pathetic feature of the day
was when Master Louis Bunte, the
grandson of the comrade over whose
grave the services were conducted,
again recited his poem, and which IN
rurity and ability brought to him
Ehe praise that he so richly deserves.
Other items were the eloquent
eulogy of Judge Parks, the recita-
ton by Mrs. H. T. Southworth, of
Lincoln's famous Gettysburg ad-
uItSS, anu inc Eiludl VI luC vi dhO
Army. The Prescott Brass Band
kindly volunteered their services for
the day, while Captain H. G. Coy
kendall had firing squad from the
local guard.
The floral emblems were many and
beautiful, and this duty was in
charge of the devoted women of
the Relief Corps, Mrs I. d. Sanders,
Mrs. G. w. Reed. Mrs William
Bunte and Mrs. Julia Murphy.
The address of Judge Parks, in
full, was as follows:

Willis A. Gates, general manager
of the Climax Mining Company
stated yesterday that the force oil
miners now employed today total
twenty-eight, eight being added dur
ing the week Later a further in
crease is to be made, new ground
opened warranting this movement.
The ten stamp mill is running day
and night, and while the ore is plat
ing satisfactorily the introduction OF
two Whitley concentrating tables has
been decided upon. A new 1900 foot
pipe line is also being laid. while
other incidental Improvements are to
be added to the surface equipment.
Recent development shows the SUI
phide zone to be coming in on the
500 foot level, which necessitates
the concentrating process being in
stalled, but the satisfactory gold val
ues continue and large bodies of ore
are determined. The tonnage ex-
posed in the chutes and ready for
blocking out is far ahead of the ca
pacity of the plant, which will be
kept running steadily for months to
come.

future of his company, basing this
belief on the showing made at all

MARVEL Of DEEP

Largest Vessel in The
World Due in New

NEW YORK. May 30.-Now that
the date has been positively set for
the arrival here of the giant steam
ship Imperator, on the eighteenth
of June, all New York is busy pol
ishing up opera glasses, telescopes
and field glasses for the first peep
at the mightiest vessel afloat.
Probably the greatest crowd thai
has packed the Battery and the river
front since the return of Admiral
Dewey's victorious fleet will greet
the leviathan. The Imperator will
leave Hamburg on her maiden trip
on June II, and doubtless there will
be some among the crowd to wei
come her on her arrival here who
saw the Great Eastern on her ar
rival here more than half a century
ago. The giant piers necessary fol-

Woolworth building. the tallest sky,

tower above it by 80 feet. Her
beam of % feet is equal to the
width of the city's widest boule
wards. In addition she will tower
as high above the water as a sever
story building, her promenade dect
being 80 feet above the sea, while
the mast heads will be $50 fee
above the keel. Her wireless equip
ment, which is the most powerful
afloat, will keep the vessel constant
ly in touch with the shore. In addi-
ton to her 80 life boats, the I'm
perator will carry two power life
boats. equipped with wireless.
Among other novelties will be a
swimming pool and the replacing Of
the old-fashioned berths by beds in
most of the staterooms. The I'm
perator is really a double ship, and
in addition to being the largest is
the first vessel to be built with a
complete double skin. Altogether
her arrival here is likely to mark
the most important epoch in the
marine history of this port since
Robert Fulton steamed up the Hud-
son.
