His honor is not alone in that opln-

had left his ancestral farm behind MN

thing scandalOus. Unless the young

going TO have the time OF his hltherto
lonesome life in selecting one wlte.
Several of our best families no longer
sneak and erstwhile intimate friends
have been heard TO call each other
"cats" and "hussies." The young
women of the town now spend their
spare hours in walking up and down IN
front of the Mayors office. IL is here
that Bryant will go directly on his ar
rival.
1t all happened this way. Gus was
lonesome on his big farm at 81. Mar
garet's. For some reason the name
Elizabeth conjured up thoughts of con
nubial bliss in his mind, and he sat
him down and wrote 10 Mayor Mravlag,
asking if there was any hope OF OBJ
tanning a suitable spouse IN town
with such an alluringly feminine name.
The Mayor gave publicity much pup
licity both to Bryants query and TO
his own answer, in which he assured
Gus that hone was no name for IT.

Real estate men are aroused against

Allan Robinson, president Of the Allied

Mcclure, president of the Real Estate
Board Of this city, and many others
oppose it. Besides, the Advisory Coun-
Gil Of Real Estate Interests and other
aggressive real estate organizations
have lined up their forces.
"The real estate owners of New York

vestigation.
"The average tax rate for 1915 ls
over 1.9O.' says Mr.. Mcclure. This
was based upon total assessed valua-
tion of $500 100000. In my opinion
il will be impossible to maintain an
assessment roll in 1915 of over $1,000
coo, 900. and il may be less than that.
The amount required TO be raised by
taxation on real estate this year II
Si60. .O00.0 900. Next year this amount
will be largely increased unless very
radical economies are effected.
"The debt service will be increased
about $8,000,000, and one-Quarter Of
the amount spent for Improvements
must be provided for in the budget
1--WE will. therefore. have larger
amount of money TO be raised,
smaller assessment roll and largely de
creased sinking fund revenues. This
will necessitate an average tax rate or
over 2 per cent, probably 2.O4. II to
this is added the 16 points necessary
for New York Citys share Of the pro-
posed direct state tax we will have a
tax rate of at least 2.20.
"A tax rate of 2.2O on admittedly
full value, when the net return from
real estate without allowance for de
probation is but 5is per cent, IS al
most contiscatory.'

CONFER ON TRIAL
BY NEWSPAPER
Editors and Lawyers to Try to
Agree on Rules to Limit Pub
LEGATION of News.

Representatives Of leading New York
newspapers and a subcommittee Of
the Bar Association will confer to-
night at az West Forty-fourth Street
on means for checking the so-called
trial by newspaper"
Joseph NJ. Proskauer, chairman Of
the committee, said yesterday that the
conference would consider what steps
should be taken "to remedy the serious
abuse which has grown out of the pub
lication of matter tending to influence
the course of trials in courts of JUS
,ice.
This practice has seriously affected
The conduct Of litigation, both civil
and criminal, of public interest, and
recently caused the declaration of a
mistrial after the court and jury had
spent many days on the case.
The committee hopes TO formulate
some course Of conduct by which law
ycrs and newspapers will voluntarily
establish certain standards of conduct
To- mitigate or destroy this evil"
The consensus of opinion among
lawyers seems TO be that such re-
form is impracticablc under the pres
cnt law. The statute, they think, should
give the courts wider powers to deal
with cases OF contempt.

REDUCING TAX DEPUTIES

For the first time in several years
a rearrangement is being made in the

Some of the districts are being IN

deputies take the field on April it
will be possible, it was stated yester-
day, to get along with five less deputies

to favor cutting down the number Of

said he was not in the habit OF an

whatever action the board decided to

Service Commission in due time.

Why does a chicken cross the road?
Because it has license.
The new answer TO the old query is
supplied by Roselle Park, y. J. For
to-day the ordinance which provides
that all chickens, regardless Of gender,
that run loose shall be licensed at 10
cents head goes into effect. Or, to
put it statstically, Roselle Parks four
policemen, including Chief Simon
Birmingham, are required henceforth
to keep tab on Roselle Parks 1000
chickens.
The passage of the ordinance, two
weeks ago, was the effect OF several
causes. For one thing, Roselle Park
is the amateur farmers paradise. The
easiest way 10 get spring seeds TO
come up is by turning chickens loose
in the garden. but that method Of
farming doesn't appeal particularly TO
Roselle Parks farmers, especially
when neighbor's chickens engage in
the uplift.
Again. Roselle Park has recently
begun to pave its streets with con-
crete. The rural atmosphere has been
rapidly disappearing. And indignant
townsfolk there are 5000 of them
want to know what law of aesthetics
will justify the appearance of strut
ting hens and Growing roosters on
genuine New Yorky pavement. Their
logic has found much favor.
Moreover, Roselle Park expects its
new automobile fire truck in two weeks,
and the advance stories of its speed
have caused throbs Of horror in the
breasts of those who can't bear the
smell Of chicken blood. Furthermore.
it is rumored that the scarcity Of bur
glars in the neighborhood has made the

GARBAGE PATENTS
NOT FETHERSTON'S
Street Cleaning Commissioner
Says He Has Disposed Of
His Share in Them.
From a stan Correspondent Of The Tribune

Albany, March 22.-At hearing be
fore Governor Whitman this afternoon
on the Lockwood garbage disposal bill
for New York City, Bainbridge Colby,
who appeared in opposition, engaged
in an argument with Street Cleaning
Commissioner Fetherston over pat
ents the latter has been credited with
owning.
Mr.. Colby said the bill would entail
an expenditure of S9,O00,000 for the
construction of an incinerating plant.
lie asked Mr.. Fetherston if he had
any interest in patents for garbage
disposal.
None was the reply.
"Have you assigned certain patents
to the Power Specially Company
asked Mr.. Colby.
81 assigned half interest in two
patents to that company" replied Mr..
Fetherston The other half, he de-
clared, he assigned to the city.
Mr.. Colby argued that the city was
already overburdened with taxes and
could not stand the additional expendi-
ture of 100000. Others who op-
posed the measure were William b.
Ellison and Mrs. Flora Spiegelberg.

What should be done by the city to

George McAneny, President OF the

Be the reasons as they may, the fact

In all of the places to which COe has
