TENEMENT HOUSE
RIPPER" PASSED
Bill to Change City Law Expect
ed To Be Vetoed by Mayor
Mitchell.
fFrom star Correspondent Of m. Thbunel

(From A Star Correspondent OF The Tribune
Albany. ArriI 49, The Lockwood
Ellenbogen bill, which in effect would
rip out the tenement house law Of New
York City, was passed by the Assem-
bly, to-day by vote Of l06 TO %. II
now goes to Mayor Mitchell, who will
undoubtedly veto It, having frequently
declared the measure vicious legisla-
ton. The Legislature could repass 1t
over his head. but this is unlikely, be
cause of the near approach of the end
of the session.
The Ellenbogen bill takes from six
New York City departments, including
the Tenement House Department, their
powers of inspection, and turns these
powers over TO the various borough
superintendent of buildings.
Opposition TO the measure has come
from practically all the civic and
philanthropic organizations OF New
\ ork They declare it cuts away the
5 feguards of the tenement house law,
wn.ch has been built up after years Of
study and experience. Opponents OF
the tIll stated on the floor Of the As
scTtly that if the bill is enacted. lit
tie Of the protection Of the tenement
house law will remain.

ISLIP VILLAGERS
In RUSH FOR GOLD
Dig, Dreaming of Fortunes, Into
Yellow Earth-PrObably
Iron Sulphate.

Islip. Long Island. Anril lS.-Con-
tractor, drop ina; pick! Dig not q
single inch; for if you're seeking gold
you'll find none, that's cinch.
After which one proceeds to explain
that when the employees Of II. c. Peter
SON. a local contractor, we're excavat-
ing at First and Main Streets, East
Islip, this afternoon. to make ready
for the construction Of house for
Herman Reitz, their picKaxes struck
something six feet below the surface
that looked like gold. -,
Peterson assisted in digging up all
the alleged gold that answered the
first blows Of the picks, and then,
while hundreds Of dreemy-eyed vii
layers gathered. hurried off with
SAMPLES Of the stuff to have it assayed.
"That closely resembles gold" said
the assayer.
When you guess that it took only
thirtv-nine seconds for this news TO
spread you are fairly accurate. Busl-
ness and social affairs were suspended
while the townsfolk, equipped with all
the hardware that could be purchased
in Islip and East Islip, made ready to
declare themselves in on the dis
covery. The crush of fortune hunters
became so great that the police force
was summoned and guards posted IN
the vicinity TO keep the absolutely de
moralized mob away. The last bulletin
posted at midnight indicates that East
lslip is fguratively standing on It's
ear.
This fact makes the situation very
horrible. for the stuff unearthed can
not be gold. An aged newspaper man,
who recalls the glacial period, says
that the stuff must be iron sulphite,
formed when the sand of Connecticut
and parts of Westchester rolled out Of
its confines and made what to-day IS
regarded as Long Island.

Albany. April 13.-The Presidential
boom Of Elihu Root. ex-Cnited States
Senator. was formally launched at the
dinner given in his honor by Republi-
can Senators at the Hotel Ten Eyck
here tonight.
Elon r. Brown, President pro TEN. OF
the Senate, spoke of ex-senator ROOT
as the leader of the Republican party
in the state and nation. He was fol-
lowed by Governor Whitman, who de-
clered there was nothing in the gift
Of the nation that Mr.. Root could not
have if ne would accept it.
Both these statements were greeted
with enthusiastic applause by the Re
publicans present, including William
Barnes. Frederick C. Tanner, Samuel
s Koenig and men Of every shade or
Republicanism.
Apart from the launching OF MI
Roots boom, the dinner was turned
into an occasion for justifying the acts
of the Legislature to date.
In a speech that was loudly cheered
Governor Whitman recalled the numer-
Gus reorganization measures which had
passed the Legislature or we're now be-
fore it, amid cries of Ripper legisla-
toni"
Party Promises Kept.
Eve promised the people of the state
last fall" said the Governor, that we
would reorganize the Board Of Claims
the Tax Department, the Conservation
Commission, the Agricultural Depart
ment. the Department of Highways and
other departments. Everywhere we
made that statement we were greeted
with applause. There was no talk OF
ripper legislation then.
I'VE have no excuses, or eNplana-
lions, or apologies to make, nor have
we any defence TO interpose. We were
elected to do these things and we have
done them.
Are there any honest persons who
honestly want good government, who
are honestly DESTROYS of an honest
enforcement of the laws, who can
honestly find fault with the work the
Legislature of this state has per-
formed ."
Ex-senator Roots first words were ::
81 am Republican, He then declared
that the remaking of the states CON
stitution, over which labor he Will pre-
side. should be done with the thought
in mind that it was made for all men,
for all parties and for all time. -.
81 do not wish that any party snail
strive for shall seek or shall have
party advantage in remoulding that
constitution said Mr.. Root.
I've lost power because We deserved
TO lose; because of our discussions and
duarrels among ourselves, and by some
Republicans trying to climb to indlyld-
uai success by pulling down other Re
publcans. If We have learned that
iesson-and there are reasonable
grounds for believing we have nothing
can prevail against us.
Mr.. Root said he believed the people
in time would put their stamp Of APP
proval on the work of this admlnistra
ton and show their confidence IN it.

"HoMING INSTINCT" IN BIRDS
Attachment to First Home Is Much
the Same as Is Evidenced
in Humanity.

The habit of birds in migrating
South when winter comes on is in
fluenced by the need of finding suf-
ficient supply of food. AS food grows
scarce when winter approaches in the
farthest northern places where birds
live they naturally turn to the South,
where, their instinct tells them, food
will be plentiful. The return of the
birds in the spring to their accustomed
haunts in the North is one of the evil
dences of their possession Of an in
stinct which is also strong in man.
The environment in which bird or
human being is brought up generally
becomes a permanent part Of its ma
ture. Ornithologists have not yet
made it clear just what enables the
bird to find its way back and forth to
the same spot every year, and our
knowledge is confined to the fact of
what the "homing instinct" does.
After they mate and build their
first nest and bring up their first fam
lily, birds cherish fondness for that
spot much the same as the attach
ment that man feels for his early
home. The spring migration of birds
is their joyful return home after a
temporary sojourn abroad to secure
the means of livelihood.

EXPLAINING SONGS OF BIRDS
Beautiful Notes of the Nightingale,
for Instance, Are Inspired by
PaternaI Love.

1t is generally assumed that bird
sings because he is happy, but sci
ence goes deeper for an explanation
of the why and wherefore Of the
birds song. Natures optimistic joy
In constructive progress is expressed
in the singing of the male birds who
charm their mates to further their
wooing, and continue after eggs are
laid to encourage the fulillment Of
Matching
The song stops when the little birds
come out Of the shell. The nightin-
gale, for weeks during the period of
nest-building and Matching, charms
his mate and human ears near him
with the beautiful music of his love
song. But as soon as the little night
ingales come from the eggs the song
changes to a sort of cultural croak,
implying anxiety and sense of respon-
sibility.
If the nest and contents were de-
stroyed the nightingale would at once
resume his beautiful song to inspire
his mate to help him build another
nest and start all over again the low

U. S. NEAR TEST.
SAYS PRESIDENT
WILSON SEES WORLDS AFFAIRS
NEAR CLIMAX, IN WHICH
AMERICA MUST ACT.
RESTORE WORLD PEACE
WILL BE CHIEF FACTOR IN SET
THING EUROPEAN WAR By
SYMPATHETIC STAND.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York.-President Wilson in an
address at the annual luncheon of the
Associated Press here gave definite
statement of his idea of true neutral
lty and of the duties that devolve
upon Americas connection with the
European war. Referring to the war
situation, the President said:
The times behind us, gentlemen,
have been difficult enough; the times
before US are likely to be more diff
cult. Because whatever may be said
about the present condition of the
world affairs, it is clear that they are
drawing rapidly to climax; and at
the climax the test will come, not only
for the nations engaged in the present
colossal struggle-it will come for
them, of course-but the test will
come to us particularly.
"Do you realize that, roughly
speaking. we are the only great nation
at present disengaged? Therefore. is
1t not likely that the nations of the
world will some day turn to US, for the
cooler assessment of the element en-
gagged?
II am not now thinking SO prepos-
ferrous a thought as that we should sit
in judgment upon them-no nation is
fit to sit in judgment upon any other
nation-but that we shall some day
have to assist in reconstructing the
process of peace.
I'VE must put our money, our en-
ergy, our enthusiasm, our sympathies
into these things; and we must have
our judgment prepared and our spir-
its chastened against the coming of
that day. So that / am not speaking
in selfish spirit when say that our
whole duty. for the present at any
rate. is summed up in this motto:
America First
Let us think Of America before we
think of Europe, in order that Amer
lea may be fit to be Europe's friend,
when the day OF tested friendship
comes. The test of friendship is not
now sympathy with one side or the
other, but getting ready to help both
sides when the struggle is over.
THE basis of neutrality, gentlemen
is not indifference; it is not self inter
est. The basis of neutrality is sym
pathy for mankind. 1t is fairness; ii
is good will at bottom. 1t is impartiality
of spirit and of Judgment. 1 wish
that all Of our fellow citizens could
realize that. There is in some quar-
ters a disposition to create distemper
in this body polite.
I'VE cannot afford, therefore, to let
the rumors Of irresponsible persons
and origin to get into the atmosphere
Of the United States.
There are groups of selfish men in
the United States; there are coteries
where sinister things are purposed
but the great heart Of the American
people is Just as sound and true as il
ever was. And it is single heart: il
is heart OF America. 1t is not a
heart made up of sections collected
out Of other countries"
