FISHING AND TOBACCO.
Pioneer Thinks They Helped Him In
Reaching Green Old Age.

Grant, Mich.-Hinson Cole, a pio-
ner of Muskegon and Newaygo coun-
ties. who recently passed his one hun
dred and first milestone, thinks that
his green old age is accounted for in
part by the fact that for the last
eighty years he has used tobacco mod
erately and always spent a goodly
share of his time fishing.
Cole wanted to enlist for the civil
war, but was turned down by Uncle
Sam, as he was past forty-six years
OF age and too old for active duty.
For eighty years Mr.. Cole has enjoyed
a local fame as the leading fisherman
hereabouts.

It's Master.

wishes of it's master is boasted of by
A. NJ. Paulson. 1915 Marshall avenue.
The latest achievement of the animal

The dog watched while papers were
cut and fitted to the shelves. Sudden
ly it made a dash out Of the kitchen
door and over the fence. In about five
minutes it returned with a newspaper
in it's mouth.

An ostrich thinks that IL he bur-
les his head in the sand he cant be
seen. That's foolish. Some people
think they can hide bad teeth.
That's also foolish. The presence
of bad teeth, even IL they can't be
seen, can be detected In a dozen
ways, by an offensive breath, sunk
en- cheeks, pale complexion, head
aches, biliousness, nervousness, and
other disorders arising from i'm
perfect mastication and assimila-
ton of food. Don't ostracise your
self from good society, health and
comfort on account of your teeth.

SAVES 100000 IN
FIGHT WITH SNOW
Fetherston Claims Great
Success and Denies
Trouble with Men.

The city of New York saved 100000
last week by Commissioner Fether-
ston's methods of snow fighting, &C
cording to report from the Commis-
sioner's Office. The figures show that
approximately 100000 was expended.
II was estimated that in the old way
the cost would have been at least
$500 900.
Only one shift was employed on Tues
day. the day of the first fall. The con-
tractors were not called out until
Thursdays fall deposited an additional
two and a half inches TO Tuesdays
inch and seven-tenths, and made that
course absolutely necessary.
1.-THE degree TO which my plan OF
snow fighting will be successful" SAID
Mr.. Fetherston, will, TO a consider
able extent. depend upon the co-opera-
ton the department receives from
householders. Cards, giving informa-
ton and instructions to householders,
have been distributed throughout the
city by the department"
Officials in the commissioners Office
denied that several hundred men be-
sieged it's doors last week for their
tav. There were not more than forty
or NIty cHlpIOyeS III All, my ''tN'' 49,
those men were under the impression
they would receive their pay at the
commissioners Office.
Nobody tainted" said one of Com.
missioner Fetherston's assistants, and
instead of four, five or six hundred, as
various reports had it, there were not
more than fifty who did not understand
instructions and came here for their
Pay instead Of going to the sub-sta-
tons"
There were twenty-seven of these
sub-stations, the official explained, and
men were sent from the commits
sioner's Office with $4,000 to pay off
the 1880 emergency laborers. The
raw clerks returned with $4,000, hav-
ing paid out about $4,000. The rea,
son why more lsborers were not paid
was due to their misunderstanding Of
directions.

VOTE FOR PORK, "
FACING A DEFICIT
House Democrats Refuse
to Cut Out $4,000, 900 for
Public Buildings.

Washington, Feb. s.-Disregarding
renewed warnings of treasury deficit
the House refused to-day to strike
from the sundry civil appropriations
bill approximately S9,000,O0O for public
buildings. The vote for the retention
of the pork barrel items was 80 to 40.
Chairman Fitzgerald Of the Appro-
priations Committee charged the
Treasury Department with responsible
ity for the threatened deficit, and by
inference asserted that Secretary
McAdoo had sent in estimates for big
appropriations with full knowledge of
the unsatisfactory financial condition
Of tie Treasury.
Representative Gillett offered an
amendment reducing the public build
ings appropriation from Sll,OOO,OOO to
$4,000, 900 Mr.. Fitzgerald was not will
ing to ask members to sacrifice pubic
buildings when no effort had been made
10 economic in other branches Of the
public service.
81 cannot escape the conclusion, how
ever" said Mr.. Fitzgerald, that there
will be Treasury deficit during the
next fiscal year of about S3O,OOO,OOO,
and il may reach SSO000,000 20 $780,
100000. / give this as my careful
opinion, after an examination Of the
prospective receipts and expenditures.

Legislative Committee Con-

Lrrom 4 SO Corresponden. Of The Trlbune.l

..lbany, Feb. S.-There is a general
belief here that Governor Whitman Will
ask the members of the Public Service
Commission of the LIST District to re-
sign. Under the law the Governor may
remove them after giving then ten days
in which to answer charges. 1t is I'M
derstood he shares the feelings of the
majority of the members of the legis-
lative investigating committee, who
are convinced that more or less lnei!i-
cheney has characterized some members
of the commission.
William Hayward, counsel to the
committee, spent last night with Gov
ernor Whitman going over the plans
for the inquiry. To-day, when the Gov
ernor was asked whether he favored a
single commission or the retention Of
two commissions, he said:
There seems TO be a considerable
feeling in New York City against sim
gle commission. 1t is an important
question--one that will have to be gone
into thoroughly"
There is a possibility that the COM
mittee will go into the contracts for
the new subways.

From the moment Won Krebs disap-

RIORDAN'S ANSWER
ATTACK ON |. R. I.
Charges Attempt to Use
Governor and Bull
dOZe Officials.

Dr. Patrick D. Riordan, the Coroner
whose official scalp was demanded by
Theodore 7. Shonts and others whom
he held for an elevated railroad accI-
dent. sent his answer to their charges
70 Governor Whitman last night. The
charges are fimsy, he says, and were
made with an Interior purpose. In
memorandum accompanying his sworn
answer Riordan says:
1T is submitted, on the contrary
that the motives underlying these
charges are base and ignoble. Not only
are the compliments attempting to use
the Governor in these proceedings IN
an attempt to prevent their indictment,
but thew are also attempting
by these proceedings and by terroriz-
ing, bulldozing, intimidating and
threatening public officials to control
the Coroner, the District Attorney and
the courts, as they have in the past
attempted to control, and apparently
not wholly without success, the Public
Service Commission"
Riordan asserts that the charges
were made for the purpose OF lntiu-
encing the grand jury which is to con
slider the manslaughter charges. lie
also points out that he is soon to hold
an inquest into the death caused by
the fire in the subway last month, and
It is hoped that the charges will lntimi-
date him.
Only as TO the charge that he was
unduly Influenced by Herbert r. Linn
burg, because of Limburg's connection
with "The American" and THE Jour
nal" does Riordan 90 into considerable
detail He deposes that he is physl-
clan, not an attorney, and that Linn
burg volunteered his services as ad-
wiser.
Respondent alleges" reads Rior,
dams answer, upon information and
belief, that Mr. Limburg was fit and
proper person to advise respondent,
and that said Limburg is not connected
with the newspapers New York Amerl-
can and New York Evening Journal
or with persons owning and conducting
the same. Resi- ndent denies tLat he
was in any respect improperly led, in
fuenced or controlled by SAID Limburg
or by said newspapers, or by the pub
LEGATIONS quoled ana referred W III IHe
afTidavits Of said Shonts, or by any
publications or persons whatsoever"
BY way of counter charge, Riordan
asserts that counsel for the INTERIOR
ough presented to him a document, in
the form of a charge to the jury, de-
string him TO use it as his charge to
his Jury. Examination Of this state
ment, says the Coroner, shows that
the same was fraudulently prepared;
that it misstates and falsifies the evil
dence; that it incorrectly states the
law, and that it was prepared with the
sole and only purpose Of improperly
whitewashing the compliments and
throwing the responsibility for the col
lision upon the motorman and the con-
ductor."
A copy of this document was sent to
the Governor.
