JOY RIDERS HIT CYCLER
or Deserted Auto and Took
Trolley to Ferry.

Five joy riders il gray Packard
touring car outwitted the police on
Staten Island yesterday afternoon after
running down a motorcyclist and speed
ing away. A search that extended to
the ferries and all the public garages on
the island failed to reveal the car, and
last night the police were certain hat
it had been hidden or deserted in some
remote part of the island
The motorcyclist was John Duckow-
sky, % years cid, of Stapleton. He
was returning to his home after trip
to Manhattan, and after leaving the
ferry at St. George was run down by
the gray car at Third and Canal streets.
The car, which contained three women
and two men, was going toward the
ferry. 1t forced him against the curb
and struck him a glancing blow. He
was thrown off his motorcycle and his
right leg was broken. He was taken t.
the Smith Infrmary.
He and several witnesses gave the
police good description of the car. A
telephone message to the ferry asked
that the machine be held and the oc-
cupants arrested. The car did not APP
pear there, however. Apparently il
had turned down side street, and the
police, believing an attempt would be
made to leave the island by the Totten-
vile ferry to Perth Amboy, telephoned
there without result Then they
searched garages. They were sure the
car was not owned on the island.

HALF A MILLION FAMILIES CON.
SUME THE GRAPEFRUIT PRO-
DUCED IN FLORIDA.

There are twenty-one million families
in the United States more than half of
them with incomes of over $3.50.
Careful Investigations disclose the
fact that fruit of some kind are con-
sumed IN most families of that income.
Practically every such family buys
heavily of diciduous fruits in season;
most of them use oranges more or
less.
There is a vast significance in these
facts to the citrus fruit grower who
wants his groves to be permanently
profitable. They mean that the market
for grapefruit has just begun to devel-
OPP. 1t is clear from a study of the
facts that ten million instead of half a
million families can be educated to use
grapefruit rapidly becoming edu-
mitted superiority of Florida grape
fruits over that produced elsewhere and
with only limited areas of Florida land
adapted to the pomelo. the future of the
grapefruit industry is assured.
Grapefruit can be grown profitably
when sold at prices which permit the
widespread consumption of the fruit if
too much is not added to the selling
figure between grower and consumer.
Of course only limited proportion of
the twenty-one million families of the
United States are in position to pay
fancy prices for grapefruit. General
consumption of this fruit will prevail
only when prices at the other end of
the line are reasonable.
And prices to the grower which
means that his groves are profitable do
not preclude reasonable prices to the
consumer. The consumer can be sup
piled grapefruit as cheaply as oranges,
under conditions that will net the
grower as much or more because grape
fruit may be more cheaply grown.
The public rapidly is learning how to
buy, and before long the advances in
the price of grapefruit after it has left
the growers hands, which put the fruit
clear out of the reach of the average per-
son, will be thing of the past. Then, IN
stead of half million families consum-
ing an average of four boxes a season,
five million or ten million families will
use that much or more. Florida Times

FEDERAL DUTIES ON THE IN
CREASE
Furnish Many Problems New
to Government.

Chicago, Dec. %. The United States
Government is taking over a good deal
of new business, and some of its most
loyal citizens are worrying a bit about
its ability to do that business in a salts
factory way.
Governments, at least on this side of
the Atlantic, are not famous for their
success in carrying on business opera
tions, when tested by the standards of
the ablest private citizens. There is a
fear, therefore, that the United States
Government will get up in heap.
The function of administering the
banking and currency system is huge
addition to the Federal duties. The in
itiation of the new system will require a
period of two or three years, and that
will help some, but the older genera
ton, who have their theories of govern
ment fixed by the comparative simplicity
of former days, are wondering how
Washington will get through with all
this.
TheIproblem of the income tax has
come back, now that the currency ques-
ton has been settled. A banker who
has. been educating himself days, nights
and Sundays, in the art and mystery of
the income tax, asserted most positively
that the method of collecting that tax at
the source would break down. When
asked as to the reasons for his belief, he
said.that it was altogether too cumber-
some, Fand that no business on earth
could:justify itself if it were so involved
in intricacies and expenses. but, "
said the inquirer, 1.-The Government is
making you bankers do the bulk of the
work"
eyes, they are making us do enough
work. This bank has employed two extra
clerks for permanent positions just on
account of this collection at the source,
but it does not follow that the Govern
ment is released from work. You should
see the big bundles of papers that we
send.along to the Government officials.
They will have nice time overhauling
the stuff. If the work is done with any
degree of accuracy it means an immense
addition to the clerical force of the de-
partment.
''Is this your view only or is it shared
by other bankers?"
at is a growing opinion among
bankers and others and many people
share my conviction. This country is
too big, the interests are too diversified
and there are too many small items to

Board of Trade Formed ..

The Mddlebury Board of Trade as

nesday evening, January T. to form
and complete organization. Much
enthusiasm was manifested in the work
thus far done. DR.. A. Z. Lambert read
the bylaws which were drawn up by a
committee for that purpose and with
few minor changes were adopted. The
election OF officers resulted as follows
President, DIR. John NJ. Thomas; vice

DR.. Thomas emphasized the need of
substantial support for the organization
and that in order to keep its life it
must accomplish something.
Ira H. LaFleur said that what the
town required was new industries in
order to stimulate business. He brought
out the fact that the needs of Middle
bury should be looked after.
d. H. McHugh laid before the meet
ing the possibility of a new industry for
Middlebury arising from the use of
waste marble to be ground into phos-
phate for fertiizing purposes.

evening of January 81.

be handled in this way.
Then there is the expense. The in
stinct of the party now in control of the
United States Government is in the
direction of reducing expenses. They are
achieving mighty little in that line, in
deed, are greatly increasing the ex-
penses. In due time they will hear from
the people on this subject and it is the
people, and not the Government at
Washington, that makes the laws.
Since bankers and others have re-
covered from their huff at the enact
ment of the income tax law, and have
reduced the whole business of collections
at the source to a scientific method,
this opinion should carry considerable
weight. We shall now enter on period
of unpleasant nervous stimulation with
respect to the banking and currency
law.
There are thousand and one details
in the adjustment of the affairs of 1900
national banks, and many more banking
institutions of other classes, to the new
order of things. The bankers take up
this problem cheerfully, but they appre-
ciate, as the ordinary citizen cannot, the
many corners they will have to turn. -

UNANIMOUS FOR FEDERAL CON-
troll OF RAILROAD FUNDS.
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's Attitude is Shown in
its Reports to Congress.

Washington, Dec. %. The members
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
are unanimously in favor of law giving
to that body the control over railway
capitalization. In its last annual re-
port submitted to Congress shortly after
the regular session began, the commits
sion said:
''1n previous reports the commission
has indicated the desirabilty of legis-
lation upon the subject of control over
railway capitalization. Without at
tempting to add to the reasons previ-
ously advanced, we renew those rec
concentrations.
Acting upon the recommendation
Representative Adamson of Georgia,
Chairman of the House Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce, has
introduced a bill providing that no
railroad company shall issue or sell any
stock or bonds without fist obtaining
permission of the commission. Repre-
sentative Stevens of Minnesota, another
member of the committee, has intro
duced bill giving the com ission con.
troll over physical properties of rail-
roads engaged in interstate commerce.
These measures are now before the
members of the commission for their
approval. 1t is expected that the COM
mission will act favorably upon both,
after which the bills will be pressed to
passage at the present session of Con-
gress.
THE Interstate Commerce Commits
SION" said a member to The World
correspondent to-day, "has for years
been in favor of giving the body con-
troll over the financial operations of
railroads. We believe the interests of
the stockholders and all others in any
way connected with the operation or
management of the roads would be
fully protected under this arrangement.
We believe it is the only way by which
satisfactory conditions regarding the is
sue of stocks and bonds on the part of
/
about"
This member stated that the evident
desire on the part of the railroad COM
panies to make these concessions would
not have any effect on the Forthcoming
action of the commission regarding the
application of the Eastern railroads to
increase their freight rates by per
cent.
This is another matter entirely" he
said, (which must be considered by the
members of the commission as a sepa
rate proposition. The fat that the rail
roads seem inclined to allow the com
mission to supervise tteil financia
operations will not in eny way influence
the commission in its action upon the
application for the per cent increase
in freight rates. -
