MONEY IN MUNICIPAL PLANT
Cleveland Has Greatly Reduced Cost
Of Public Utilities Supplied to !
Its Citizens.

Cleveland has done better than most
cities in the application Of the COM
munal or municipal idea to public serv-
ices or utilities. 1t has municipal
cold storage, in connection with q
market, which cost $2,OOO,000, and is
doing we'll on the investment. 1t has
achieved a three-cent car fare. 1t
now sets out for three-cent electricity.
1t YVES paying $50 to 500 a year for
street arc lights and the price for pow
er use was eight cents kilowatt.
Two small electrical plants were es-
tablished. The cost Of street arc
lights dropped about half. The cur
rent was sold by the city from it's
small plants at three cents A heavy
loss was predicted Instead of that,
the plants more than paid expenses.
Mayor Baker proposed sale OF ST.
100000 worth of bonds with which to
build plant to sell electricity at three
cents. The bond issue was passed by
the people and the operation Of the
new plant began last July. In Aug
ust there was profit of $500 on the
three-cent price. In September the
profit was $1.700, and on the basis OF
business now In hand and contracted
for the superintendent estimates the
profit for the first year at 100000,
which would about cover interest
charges, depreciation and taxes If it
were a private concern. When the
plant is completed and running at full
capacity the superintendent estimates
that there will be net profit OF $780,,
900 annually.-Pittsbur Dispatch.

Washington, March pa tall,
spare man, wearing a stovepipe hat Of
the vintage of 1850, high stock collar
and chin beard of contemporary pc
riod, stalked with dgnifed men up
the east walk of the White House
grounds early to-day. He represented
Abraham Lincoln, and as he approached
the portico of the north front a group
of soldiers arose and saluted him,
while motion picture operator ground
his coffee mill" vigorously. The film
was working through wonderfully when
another man, in a blue uniform with
numerous brass buttons and bearing a
stout baton, projected himself into the
scene, carrying a very much up-to date
spirit of 1915 into the play and de-
stroying its historic value by the
anachroniSm of his attire.
The interfering party was Wash
:ngtOn policeman. whose orders were
70 permit no invasion of the White
House grounds By actors, even of the
movie" type. He expelled them and
announced that il they wanted TO take
pictures of the White House they would
have to "see Mr.. Tumulty."
This advice went unheeded. and with
in an hour the same scene was re-
enacted, with the same interference
from the same policeman. The motion
picture concern manager finally called
on NJ. Tumulty and was assured that
possibly tomorrow" the pantomme
might receive Official sanction, but for
to-day there was nothing doing"

Prominent Members OF Both

Measure Is Dead.
From : star Cc-rsrcudon, n Thc Tribune J

From Star Ccrr0pcndont N TIE Ifioune J
Albany, March Ex-Governor Whit
mans challenge TO .he Legislature has
been received by considerable number
Of the majority with derision. Senators
and Assemblymen, some OF them of the
leader type, declared tonight that If
the Governor thinks he can force the
Legislature 70 pass his tax reform bill
he j. mistaken.
Senator James A. Emerson, chairman
of the Senate Taxation and Retrench-
ment Committee, in which he bill now
lies buried. said tonight:
so the Governor wants the tax bill
reported out, en-? Well, that's not for
him 10 say. IT'S for .he committee to
say that. And the committee doesn't
want to report it out | am the only
one for the bill so far. and I'm for
il only because the Governor Is for II.
Let the Governor assume respon-
siblity for it. The supervisors in my
county don't want the bill. | don't care
what the rest of the committee wants.
The fate of the bill is IN Senator
Browns hands. If he wants the bill
it will go through. If not, you know
what will happen to IT.
Senator Emerson reflects the views
of a fairly large element in both
houses. All these say the bill IS dead
unless heroic measures are adopted 10
save il.
A caucus was to have been held in
the Assembly tonight on the bill, but
had to be abandoned because many
member told Speaker Sweet they
would not enter caucus on account
of bein, against the measure. ihirty-
nine of the ninety-nine Republicans
told Speaker Sweet they were against
the bill. II would require seventy-sX
20 pass il there. That is sixteen more
than the Governor has mustered so far;
One official who is vitally Interested
in the bill said tonight:
"If the bill ever gets on the moor OF
the Senate it will be blown TO frag-
ments."
The foes of the bill pointed TO one
nrovision Of the measure which they
said would cost the taxpayers of the
state about S1OOO0,O00. This provided
for the drafting of a new set OF tax
mans. II was estimated that TINS
would cost Westchester County S3OO,-
600 and other counties in proportion.
The objection TO this clause came
from upstate legislators, who objected
TO their counties bearing this expense.
At present the entire state bears the
burden. The Objectionable clause was
stricken from the bill tonight in the
Assembly.
Just what Senator Brown will DO in
the matter remains to be seen. He has
said he is for the Governors pro-
gramme. To date he has made no move
TO get the bill reported out Of the Sen
ate Taxation and Retrenchment Com
mittee. Others have been active on IT,
however, adding one amendment 10
another to it. One of these is a nice
little Joker in favor Of the railroads to
the tune of exempting them from pay.
ing taxes on some 100000 900 worth OF

What the Governors next move will
be. now that the Legislature has met
his challenge with a challenge of its
own, is being awaited with interest.

HUNT HUB In VAIN

Detectives Fail to Pick Up Trail
of Mysterious Witness
in Suit Here.

Boston. March 22-0n the theory
that Oliver Osborne is a resident OF
greater Boston, a detective agency to-
day began belated hunt for him. In
reply to inquiries the manager said:
There are three groups interested
the government. James ". Osborne and
Miss Tanner. 1t Is certainty that we
are not working for the government.
Now guess"
A diligent inquiry in the lodging
house section of the city and among
the employers of steam filters and at
the offices of the local unions, however,
fails 20 show any one of that name IN
the trade az which James W. OsbOrne's

Boston ever knew there was such a
thoroughfare as Clay Street. 1t IS a
short street. in Hyde Park, on which
there are no factories and but few
buildings. in that district there are
OF these ever heard Of Oliver. Nor is
there an Osborne on the payrolls Of the
factories in that district.
When this was called to the attention
Of the manager of the detective bureau
his answer was that Boston is an all
embracing term. Away from Boston y
includes everybody who comes from as
lar away as Eastport, Me
The detectives, however. and United
States Attorney Marshall, in New
York, are not the only persons VINO
would like TO lay eyes upon Oliver Os-
borne.
If Oliver, or the man whom James
w. Osborne says told him he was
Oliver, will kindly call at 222 West
Newton Street he will greatly obllge
numerous residents Of that apartment
house, occupied in large part by bach
elor girls. Since Saturday the name
Osborne, whispered into any of the
speaking tubes, when il does not meet
with a snappy "No." for answer IS
followed by uncomplimentary opinions
of persons who don't MIND their own
