NEW YoRK's FIRST STREET MAP
Made I'm 1859 - the Result of
Colonyss Great Growth.

The nrst survey Of New York wa
finished in 1855. Previous TO that date
no attempt had been made to lay out
with regularity this snug little colony
of New Amst erdam What was the use
II was a waste OF time and lives were
endangered. AZ the red men OF the
forest still held the upper section OF tho
city, now covered with parks. apartment
houses, tenements and dwellings OF all
classes.
Toward the middle OF the seventeenth
century New York had expanded far be-
yond the precincts Of the Dutch colony
AT the Battery and there was every indi-
cation that the development OF the town
was far from finished. so the shrewd
men who controlled the affairs OF the
city decided on a street system or a
map which would permit the orderly de-
velopmcut OF the town. SO tho survey
Of 1855 was made, the frst on record of
this city.

BOARD TO CALL HIM IN INQUIRY
81 made the charge in committee
before congress in Washington and
I repeat the charge today that the
y. S. steamboat inspection service is
rotten with negligence and incOmpe-
tency. If Sec'y Redfield wants to
call me as a witness l will present
what 1 regard as evidence that the
inspection service is rotten"
This is the reply of Ed NOckels,
secretary of Chicago Federation of
Labor, to a statement made in Wash
ington yesterday by Sec'y Redfeld's
first assistant, Edwin F. Sweet. Sweet
says Nockels was shooting "hOt air"
and didn't have specific information.
NOckels now dares Redfield to throw
the investigation open to the whole
question of whether the inspection
service is rotten and the Eastland
sinking was only an incidental result
of it.
U. S. Dist Atty Clyne says he is
going to make the federal grand jury
probe thorough. CIyne sits in close
with Sec'y Redfeld. Has held no
conferences with States Atty HOyne.
Has given no indications but that he
agrees with Sec'y Redfield that the
q. S. inspectors are all clean-handed
and efficient.
Judge Kenesaw M. Lands is the
first big federal man to give the peO-
pie of Chicago a sign of hope that
the government is not going to white
wash it's officials who may be guilty.
Lands in effect took a slap at Sec'y
Redfield yesterday in telling grand
jurors not to be impressed by deClar-
atoms from official sources lin vindi-

whose acts you will be concerned"

Millions of dollars of business is
lost to Chicago through the Eastland
sinking. Not only has steamboat
passenger traffic been cut way down.
It is well understood in business
circles that the reputation of Chicago
has been denied as a good place for
pleasure seekers and people on a
vacation to come to.
Thousands of middle west shOppel
have turned toward other towns, at
least for the present, to spend their
money. The newspapers, in going
straight through and trying to show
that the vicious neglect back Of the
Eastland sinking affair is partly the
fault of the U. S. government are in
earnest.
They want the people who come to
Chicago to do business to know tina
the local officials did all they could
Chicago to do business to know that
blame for the danger came from the
outside.

PAINTERS MAY CALL OFF STRIKE


The stubborn employers having at

Painters District Council is consid-
ering a vote of its 10000 members on
the question of calling off the strike,
which has been standing since early

No wage question is involved The
painters strike was purely a protest

the latest and best of everything
naval Her merchant marine Is
flourishing, and the greatest thing OF
the kind ever possessed by an Asiatie
power. She is doing some notable
things with it in the carrying history
of the Pacific.
But Japan, alert and eagerly pro-
gressive, is taking close account OF
what is now going on in the world
She sees the whole of Europe dis
turbed, and Mexico in a condition OF
anarchy. She has plans of her own
for China. Big armies and big navies
are in action. and this is good time,
she thinks, to strengthen hers.
Her people are heavily taxed. The
burden of the cost Of the war with
Russia still bears oppressively. But
evidently they are willing to have the
burden increased to make sure that
in an emergency Japanese interests
shall not suffer.
How is it with us? We have no
army worthy the name. Our navy
is undermanned, and otherwise short
We have no merchant marine at all
In all three particulars we are much
behind Japan.
And yet we are snoozing away the
time as though there were no to-
morrow. Congress at the recent ses-
sion could not be moved to action on
any phase of the national defense
The army was left at the size OF
police force. While something was
done for the navy, it was altogether
too little. And all that took place
respecting a merchant marine was a
futile debate on a proposition with
out legitimate bearing on the sub
ject. Putting the government into
the sea-carrying business for emer-
gency purposes would not have
served the real ends of establishing
a merchant marine to compete with
the large subsidized fleets of foreign
powers.
We are closer to the seat of war
than Japan. Our danger of injury
from it is greater than hers. Her
sea interests are confined to the Pa
cihc. Ours extend into the Atlantic,
and are very important in both
oceans. Her diet is preparing to
strike while the iron is hottie
proper time Our Congress stands
adjourned; and the bare suggestion
Of an extra session is unwelcome.

The Annual Egv Rolling.

1t is gratifying to note that there
will be no interruption this year in
the custom of opening the White
House grounds next Monday for the
annual egg-rolling festival for the
children. This institution, for many
years peculiar to Washington. is
greatly enjoyed by thousands of little
ones and its maintenance is desirable.
The custom originated many years
ago, when the children used the west
ern terraces of the Capitol for vari-
Gus egg-rolling games, races and
plays. These terraces were, well
adapted to the sport of rolling col
ored eggs down hill. and until the
grassy slopes were transformed into
marble walls. about thirty-hve years
ago, the children made OF them a
gathering place from all parts of the
District. When the Capitol improve
ment compelled suspension Of
these Easter Monday games the then
occupant Of the White House opened

that the Zoo Park also is the scene
of an egg-rolling gathering. fol

is fair and mild next Monday tn.

The Value Of Boy Scout Work.

Next Saturday the Boy Scouts OF
the District will conduct a vigorous
all-day campaign in an endeavor to
tag the entire city. The object is to
raise funds for the current mainte-
nance of this organization, which has
become one Of the substantial fea-
lures of civic life and has demon
stratedits value in many ways. There
is nothing experimental now about
the Boy Scout work. 1t has been
conclusively proved to be practical and
valuable in the inculcation of spirit
Of helpfulness on the part of the
boys, in their training in useful lines
and especially in the development of
sense of responsibility.
The value OF the Boy Scouts train
ing is recognized throughout the
country. An illustration OF this
recognition is accorded by an order
just issued by the director of public
safety of the city Of Pittsburgh that
all employees of that department shall
assist and encourage any boy,
whether uniformed or in plain
clothes, who exhibits the second
class Scout badge and who endeavors
to render first aid to the injured
This order was inspired by tragedy
lately enacted in that city. A little
girls clothing was on FIRE and Boy
Scout, who was near at hand en-
deavored to render first aid to her
A policeman, thinking the boy un-
trained, interfered with his work
with the result that the girl, lacking
immediate attention. died from her
injuries.
Director Hubbard in his order
noted the fact that the American
boys over twelve years of age who
have passed the various tests for the
degree of second-class Scout have
been thoroughly drilled in first aid
work and are therefore to be re-
garded as competent to act in emer-
gencies. This official recognition
should be followed in other cities
notably in Washington, where the
Boy Scout organization is perhaps
as efficient as anywhere in the
country Next Saturday, when the
boys tag the town, this Pittsburgh
incident should be borne in mind, and
+, the dimes and quarters Of the peo-
pie Of Washington should be given
| freely for the support Of work tina,
deserves the warmest public en-.
couragement and support.

An Old Question Answered.

Never again the old question about
what we should do with our ex-
Presidents. The answer is plain. Do
nothing. They are competent to do
for themselves. and have been do
ing it.
Gen Harrison returned to the bar,
and prospered. He was so indie
pendent there after his term in the
White House that he once rebuked an
attorney in opposition for referring
to it in a case on trial. Mr.. Cleve-
land found congenial work at
Princeton after the ''htful fever" Of
politics was over. Mr.. Roosevelt in
private life is taking care Of him
self in strenuous style. He gets his
own prices for the products OF his
pen. and keeps that reasonably busy
And surely Mr.. Taft is asking no
odds of anybody. He is hoeing his
own row. not only prohtably, but
with ease and as if he liked the en-
ployment.
OF all our public men Mr.. Taft is
absolutely the best loser on large
scale to date. He has never COM
planned once about the country's YER
dict of 1912. He accepted it promptly
in the best of spirit. and has not
changed his huinor He discusses it
without levity or solemnity. and with
evidence that he has examined il
from all sides. He is welcome
everywhere. and in all companies.
As law teacher he is performing a
great service to the entire country.
For in his classes wherever he lee
lures are promising young men soon
to take their places as molders and
leaders of opinion. and he is helping
to mold them.
After he left the White House
Gen. Harrison was asked by many OF
his friends to permit the use of his
name for another try at the presi-
Dental prize. but he declined. Mr..
Cleveland retired under circum-
stances that made his return impos-
sible. Mr.. Roosevelt, it is recent his
tory, tried to return, but failed
Whether he will try again is now a
question. though the weight Of opin-
ion is that he will not.
While Mr.. Taft is aware that in
some circles-very friendly to him,
Of course-his name is mentioned for
next years republican nomination,
he has given the matter no encour-
agement. In politics in general he
continues to take a lively interest,
and to the extent of his influence en-
eourages his party with expressions
Of confidence in the future. But he
is not booming anybody. He talks
like lawyer and philosopher; and
If he is not at present contentedly
employed it does not appear either
from his deliverances or the COM
pany he keeps. Probably no man
anywhere is enjoying life more.

Trailer Cars.

The Safety First Association Of
this city has entered upon protest
to the Commits sioners against the re-
establishment of the trailer car in
the District. on the ground that it in
creases the danger Of accidents, quot
ing certain figures from publica-
tion which indicate that the per-
centage of risk increases as the point
of entrance to the car is detached
from the immediate observation and
control of the conductor. These hg-
ures are worth consideration. They
indicate that damage costs expressed
