PHONE RATE CUT
DELAYED BY CLYNN
Likely To Be Put Off a Year
Because of Governors
Change of Front.
rBv Telegraph to The Tribune

Albany, March 1.-Two things hap
pened to-day that many believe mean
the postponement of the proposed re-
duction in telephone rates for New
York City and remainder of the state
for at least a year by the Public Ser
vice Commission Of the I'd District.
The first was the rejection Of the New
York Telephone Company's offer to
provide 100000 for the appraisal OF
the companys plant. The other was
the forced resignation Of Martin 5.
Decker from the craftsmanship Of the
commission. Commissioner Seymour
Van Santvoord was designated chair
man by the Governor.
Governor Glynn! who only a few
weeks ago said he favored the accept
ance Of the telephone company's money
for the appraisal, changed his opinion
to-day and said he deferred % the
opinion OF the counsel TO the commits
sion, Ledyard 2. Hale, who asserted it
would lie unlawful to accept the money.
The commission asked the Governor
to send a special message TO the Legis-
lature asking it TO appropriate 800
OOO He will do this tomorrow, but
there is grave doubt as to the appro-
priation OF the money by this Legis-
lature, as 1t adjourns on March p.
At the executive chamber a friend Of
Governor Glynn tried to make II appear
that Decker's resignation was due to
unsystematic methods in vogue in the
office of the upstate Public Service
Commission. Friends Of Commissioner
Decker insist the contrary Is true, and
the people of the state. they add, Will
be the loser by his forced resignation
from the Craftsmanship. Decker, who is
a Republican, was appointed to the
commission by Governor Hughes. who
selected him because Of his experience
on the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and his reputation as a rates ex-
pert. He remains a member Of the
commission.
BY a vote OF 81 TO "A the Assembly
voted to-day TO take from the Commit
tee on Gas, Water and Electricity the
Goldberg bill designed to establish
uniform 5-cent telephone rate in New
York City.

Of the President TO temporize no longer
with the outlawry along the interna-

While administration officials insist
that there is no significance in the

heen severe criticism in Texas Of the

Il was learned to-day that Carranza' s
vreEting OF power from Villa, as an

was the direct result Of representations
made by this government. as the ad-

REAL LIFE IN THE COUNTRY
Fact 10 Shown by Mans Eaaerness to
Escape From Congestion Of
the Crowded City.

Why Is II that railway magnates,
presidents OF banks and heads of great
enterprises who must perforce do
business in cities, almost all try to
have homes on farms In the country,
where they develop soils, plant cropo
and breed animals? 1t Is because there
is wearisome monotony in piled up
brick and stone. There is confusion
in crowded streets and changing troll
ley cars and hot smoky railways.
These things man has made and they
are needful. but they are not life. much
as the farm boy may imagine them
10 ba.
Life is in the open country. Life is
in the growing grass, the waving fields
of wheat, the springing OF corn. Life Ia
in the trees and birds. life is in the
developing animals Of the farm.
Any man who works with the land
who feeds field and watches the re-
suit. gains real fundamental knowl'
edge OF the underlying foundation on
which rests all our civilization. II
makes him a sober man, a thoughtful
man, a reverent man, and IL he expert
ments wisely hopeful optimist. Life
Is where things are born and live and
grow. On the farm is real life.--Breed

PARADISE FOR THE BIRDS
Providence Seems to Have Provided
Temperate Zone for the Feathered
Friends Of Man.

Up in the far country where the
timber fails. the calendar Is respect
ed There is no summer before the
official day set for it, The ground is
held fast by frost until June is well
started. There are fiurries OF snow,
wild. bitter winds, sky that has no
mercy, And then. suddenly. the wind
shifts and comes out of the south. II
is summer then with leap.
The interest of the temperate zone
In the northland Is that 1t Is there
that have gone a great many OF the
migrating birds which paid us few
days visit and passed on. For all its
inhospitality to man, that country In
summer Is a paradise for birds. Its
marshes are safe refugees from two
and four-footed enemies. There Is ex
haustless material for nests. And out
of the pools come myriads of insects

WATCH THE HORSES TEETH
Very often Elongated Molars Prevent
Animal From Mastioatina Ito
Food in Proper Manner.

II your horse shows difficulty in
eating or loses flesh without apparent
cause, II is time to examine the teeth.
Very often elongated teeth prevent a
horse from properly masticating its
food, thereby rendering 1t impossible
to obtain much benefit from 1t.
liberated teeth also are a source Of
great trouble and prevent horse from
eating we'll. Sometimes broken teeth
cut the sides Of a horses mouth and
form painful sores, which. Of course,
interfere with mastication.
1t is a good plan to examine the
teeth of all horses two or three times
a year and in the case of broken or
elongated teeth, treat them with file.
If the teeth of valuable animal are
badly affected 1t should be treated by
veterinary surgeon.

The WAY Of PROGRESS,

The dog barking at a passing auto
mobile is generally supposed to be as
telling symbol of futile objection to
the march of progress as could well
be imagined. In almost the same
category, however. belongs the strike
OF tho stevedores In New Orleans
against the introduction of the cleo
trio truck to transport freight be-
tween vessels and warehouses. The
wonder Ia that this improvement has
been so long delayed instead of only
now appearing-and then as source
of new labor difficulty, One cannot
have much sympathy for opposition In
this particular instance. The motor
vehicle In all of its forms has come
to stay, and the rest of the world has
been rather rapidly adjusting itself to
the new condition,-Engineering Rec
