II settlement can be reached on the
names OF the trustees, the conferrees will
turn attention 10 the disposition of other
properties controlled by the New Haven
which it has agred 10 give UP. Unless
New Haven officials can lind some other
way to dispose OF these properties, the
plan approved for the Boston * Maine,
will be followed and trustees will be
chosen for the outside steamship lines
and the Rhode Island trolley lines.
While officials Of the department are
anxious 10 have the details of the set

MAYOR BARES BILL

Mitchell Asks Public Aid for
Police Measures at

Fight Against tuberculosis Is De-
tailed by Members of
Organization.

Mayor Mitchell. for the first time since
he announced his plans for the reorgani-
cation Of the Police Department, betrayed
some anxiety for tho success OF the police
bills now pending in the Legislature. when
he appealed. at the annual meeting last
night OF the Charity Organization so
ciety. for the support Of the citizens for
those measures.
Until the Police Department could be
so administered. he said. that the patrol
man on the street was allowed 10 be
honest and efficient, it would he futile 70
expect the highest measure Of social ser
vice by the city departments. For the
patrolmsn, ne added, was brought more
in touch with the public in daily life than
any other city cmploye. and through hin
most OF the citys remedial and chart
table service originated.
ION his good sense and integrity said
the Mayor, depend in large measure the
amount Of social service the city depart
ments can render the citizens. The police
problem is the greatest one, and though
YOU all know how ! tried to solve it when
first came into office il Is still unsettled; ;
whether we get Colonel Goethals. man
capable OF giving the fullest and most
efficient service, is still undetermined, and
IL is undetermined because we cannot be
sure now whether the Legislature VII!
give 10 us the laws we need so urgently.
II asked for those bills giving the Com
missioner power TO remove. the men UNI
der him arbitrarily because Colonel Goe-
thals made the bills a condition upon
which he would accept the post. and he
knows that those laws are necessary Tor
a good administration.
II believe the majority OF the patrol
men would gladly be honest and efficient.
But there is q small group in the de-
partment. which you and know az the
System a coherent, strongly organized
body of men. similar TO the ring OF ex-
ploiters in Tammany Hall, which stands
between the patrolman's efficient service

And the Exact Ratio Of Gold 20 Silver
In the Year 1870.
Three mining engineers were gather
ed together the other day. and the
question as to the value Of an old trade
dollar came up. Strange as II may
seem, no one knew its value. and there
was considerable haziness as to the
exact value Of an ounce Of pure gold
or OF the old fashioned value Of an
ounce Of silver says a correspondent
in the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal. Calculations which I made seem
ed to indicate that the ratio Of gold to
silver in 1870 was not exactly 10 to 4.
Possibly It may be Of interest to the
profession to know the exact figures
which I have received from the assay
er Of the mint bureau. United States
treasury.
Coinage value OF one ounce pure
eold Is $2O.671S34625. A convenient
fact, easy to remember. regarding this
figure is that forty-three ounces Of coin
gold, 900 fine, are worth $500.
