ONE AVENUE FOR PLEASURE
No Heavy Trucks on the Citys
Show Street.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Is there no possible way OF Kidding
Fifth Avenue OF the heavy business trucks
which are running that beautiful thorough
fare for pedestrians and pleasure vehicles
Inner Fifth Avenue used TO be the one
beautiful promenade Of the city where peo-
pie could stroll and drive at their leisure
and enjoy the view Of the park and the
architecture Of the fine houses. Now 1t is
made hjdeous all day and half the night with
the deafenng bang and rattle OF huge
trucks. full of bricks, coal, etc, furniture
vans and business wagons Of all kinds
which crowd out the motors and carriages
and weary the passerby with their unoear-
able noise and pollute the air with clouds OF
dust and the smell OF gasolene. The dwell
ers on upper Fifth Avenue, who pay higher
taxes in proportion TO their means than any
one else in this city, have their days and
nights made unbearable with this unneces-
sary noise, for as soon as the day frame Is
over the market trucks begin and go all
night long. so that sleep is often impossible.
Surely a law could be passed compelling
business trucks to keep off Fifth Avenue
and use. instead, Lexington, Third and Sec
ond avenues, on the East Side, and Column
bus and Amsterdam avenues, on the west
Side At present these avenues are clear
: trucks. as they all prefer Fifth Avenue,
which they have almost succeeded in ruin
ing. In this great city there should be at
least one avenue kept free for pleasure
and enjoyment AN OLD NEW YORKER.

Anti-Preparedness.

Some amiabe ladies, backed by pink
and white poet celebrated among his fel-
lows as an incurable talker on the prob
lens of sex and the wickedness Of capital
lists. have dubbed together and declared
themselves TO the world as the Anti-Pre-
paredness Committee of Brooklyn. Their
purpose is to laugh militarsm out of coun-
tenance instead Of providing against the
possible consequences Of aggression, and
TO this end an exhibition is to be held show
ing how ridiculous it is TO make ready for
defence.
One of the committee, noted member
Of the Womens Peace Party, explains that
they have adopted "the Dickensian method
of reform" but they have adopted 1t with
q difference. For, when Dickens r1dlculed
fhe monthly nurse in Sarah Camp 1t Is
certain that he had no thought of abolishing
nurses or depriving lying-in women of ser
vices they clearly needed; he was content
10 DISPLAY the faults and defects OF the
kind that prevailed in his day. The ladies'
of the Anti-Preparedness Committee go
about the matter in another way; In re-
Spouse to the cry that there are faults ana
defects in our military system, they pro
nose the simple remedy Of abolishing the
system altogether and trusting to luck.
One of their artists has thought out
something that it is hoped will make as
great a hit as Sarah Camp. 1t is figure
labelled DreadnoughtaurQs Rooseyelticus'
and a glance shows that it is intended to
represent one of the gigantic dinosaurs Of
another age. The moral is set forth on
card as follows: This animal believed in
preparedness and is now extinct"
Unhappily. the implication is quite aroi-
trary. for the great, stupid, unwieldy beast
is as poor an example Of preparedness
as could be found. He was manlfestly
incompetent and quite unable to adapt
himself TO the conditions about him, and
it was for this reason and no other that
he persisted. But evidently the ladies of
the Anti-Preparedness League think size
is everything. for we are told that as a
triumphant demonstration OF our safety
they have prepared two maps, one Of The
World as II Is" and the other Of 1.-THE
World as the Nervous Patriot Sees It."
In the latter our vast country is shrunk
to the dimensions Of Belgium, the evident
meaning being that the nervous patriot IS
undulv anxious, for the whole fault Of Bel
GUM was that it was too little.
1t might have occurred to them, how
ever. that a near relative Of the creature
they idolize above all others in the animal
kingdom failed to save himself by his de
termined pacifsm. The dodo was as harm
less as his kinsman the dove and even
more stupid and defenceless, yet neither
his defencelessness nor his stupidity pre-
vented his extinction.

WOULD ESTABLISH
HOME FOR LEPERS
You May Get 1t Without
Knowing just How
1t Happened.

WASHINGTON. Reb. 1G.-Hcarings
before the senate health committee
on the bill to establish national
refuge for lepcrS were concluded to-
day with further testimony by physi-
clans and others in favor of the
measure. Among those who appcAred
were Dr. K. &. Ruckcr, assistant sur
gCon-gencral of the public health
service and George w Mccoy. former
director of the government lcpcr asy-
lum at Molokai John Early leper,
now in isolation near Washington, ad-
the senators handled gingcrly even
though it had been well disinfected.
Dr. Mccoy reviewing his extensive
research work on the subject told the
committee that not more than 8
per cent of the people generally were
susceptible to leprosy.
1T is a disease of young persons"
he continued, developing chiefly be-
tween the ages of fifteen and thirty
years old and an ineXplicable feature
is that wherever it has ben found it
exists exactly ia the ratio of two males
To one female The period of devcl-
Opment after exposure ranges from
two to thirty years and living in II
community of lepers is often suffi-
cicnt exposure
Doctor Mccoy said his investigation
had demonstrated that leprosy was
not blood disease and was not her
editary but that no one ever had eS-
tahlishcd definitely how the germ was
transmitted. Food and climate, he
said, never had been shown to play
any part in its prevalence.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 16.-Ed-
ward +. Keller is today under indict-
ment by the grand jury on a charge
of having murdered Daniel J. Nc
Nchol. his former business associate,
who disappeared March 30, 1914. The
body was found in trunk in the
cellar of building of No. i062 Ken
sington avenue on December A.,
1915.
No date has been fixed for Keller's
trial, but the district attorney sdid
he was ready to start it at once.
McNichol, who was "A second cousin
of State Senator James p. McNichol,
was president of the Keller Leather
Goods company, in which the defend
ant was formerly a partner. Keller
later became proprietor Of a laundry
in the building beneath which the
trunk and body was found.
According to detectives of the dis
trict attorneys staff, McNichcl was
murdered in his factory at Twelfth
and Hamilton streets and the box
containing his body shipped to an
other section of the city before being
removed to the place where it was
uncovered by workmen razing the
building.
That Keller had ample oportunity
to remove the body was shown. the
authorities say, by the admission of
Keller's attorney that Keller re-
moved his personal effects from the
leather factory to his home at No.
1878 Wensley street, unknown until
afterward to the leather company Of
ficals.
The authorities claim to have found
o possible motive for the crime.
