SNOW SURPRISES GERMS
Less Pneumonia and Fewer Death.
 Because of It.

Health Superintendent Reeks has discovered that the beautiful snow is good for something beyond providing laoor Tor the unemployed if such there be in these piping times of war. The department reports less than half the number of deaths due to pneumonia than in March of last year and Superintendent Reeks says me snow is responsible.
 Snow keeps down the germs which suoslSt on vegetable matter and trees when human material proves scarce CT too tough to manage, but when the snow covers up everything on which they can maintain footing poor humanity has chance. With dry windy March it would be a real iOy- fest for the germs and old General Mortality would lead the van mounted CT his faithful steed Pneumonia. There is less of the so-ca1led lobar pneumonia this winter than in number of years, says the health su- perintendent, and there will be less as long as the snow lasts The old adage, "a green winter and fat graveyard" has a scientific basis to work on according to the germ eX- rerts.

NINE MEN THOUGHT
 TO BE CHAPTERS
Clerks and Inspectors in License
 Bureau Are Suspended

New York, March, 29.-Two clerks and seven inspectors in the depart ment of licenses are accused Ot petty grating in a detailed report filed with Mayor Mitchell yesterday by Leonard M. Wa1lstein, commissioner Of ac- counts, under whose direction an 1n- vestigation has been proceeding for some time. Copies of the report Were turned over to District Attorney Swann and Commissioner George H. Bell
 The district attorney said he would investigate the matter imm ediately. numerous reports having come to him recently that the department if i- censes needed a thorough overhauling. While Commissioner Wallstein gives credit to Commissioner Bell for assist ing him in his investigation it is con- sidered not an imprObability that MT. Bell will relnquish his present job as soon as this matter is disposed of. The report filed with the mayor criticises the department of licenses severely.
 Commissioner Bell said that he would prepare charges against his ac- cused employees immediately and would suspend them pending trial be- fore him on charges of misconduct in office. The men accused were still at their posts yesterday.
 Charles M. Strauss, a financial and recording clerk, living at 429 East Seventy ninth street, receives a great deal of attention in the report of MT Wallstein, it being reported to the mayor that he had confessed to the irregularities charged against him. He would not discuss the case.
 Others accused by Commissioner Wallstein are William A. Smith, of 423 Westminster road, Brooklyn; :; Thomas Tracy, of 425 West Fffty-sixth street; John $. Spietaler, of 339 East

 Some time ago the commissioner Of licenses began an investigation of the department for the purpose of recom- mending certain constructive changes. During this investigation he heard numerous stories of petty grating in connection with the issuance of i- censes, particularly for news stands and moving picture houses, but felt that nothing toward an exposure could be accomplished so long as his men were known to be at work in the de- partment. They were with drawn for a time, but special agents were em- plOyed.
 Through these men the existence If a graft system was exposed. The com- missioner says that everything charged can be proved by docume en- tary evidence or by permanent mem- bers of his staff

else somebody for him. Nobody es- capes from infancy to the grave, even the undertaken and grave digge1's taxes are paid by somebody in part. Anyone who eats anything, wears clothing, has a bed to sleep in, room or house to stop in, heat to keep warm by, ice or cool drinks to help keep cool, smokes, drinks or rides, is a tax contributor.
 ''Those who are in a position to place the burden on to those who cannot get away naturally do it, so at last a large part of it gets down to the poor man. the one least able to afford 1t. Whatever he buys IS priced to help somebody else pay the tax.
 Unnecessary Burdens.
 Tn public expenditures, whatever is wasted or expended without good results needlessly or for things that are not especially of public benefit, are an unnecessary burden on the already overburdened taxpayer, not the property owner, alone but also the working people. Whoever is in public office and allows this to be done, is doing the workers an in jury. He is not their friend.
 Where does the city and taxpayer stand today? Tn four years taxes have increased over 35 per cent, sal aries under council control, 35 per cent, appropriations, 47 per cent, ap- propriations for street work, AS per cent, while the grand list has only gone up 13 per cent. Under Mayor Quigley, as mayor, in two years. the tax rate has increased IT per cent salaries 29 per cent, appropriations about 2S per cent, appropriations for street work 3 years, over years pre- vious, 36 per cent. grand list only C per cent
 Most of the increases will be per- manent, and next year and the year following, will require many other increases and the expansion of our large city debt. The sewer problem and water question are still ahead of us, so that a concerted and con- tinuous effort must be made to keep down expenditures Nothing should be done but what is imperatively de- manded. The strictest supervision should be maintained over city eN- penditures and contracts to exact a dollars worth for every dollar spent.
 Changes can be made. new methods employed to save thousands each year for the city. Vigilance must be continuous the year around, not at the last moment. A three, four, or five years program can be mapped out by a committee of financial eN- perts and competent city officials TOT city expenditures which would be a large factor in saving money. Money saved helps the working man. Those who keep down unnecessary expenses are the taxpayers friends. What has the mayor done in this line? Where is the record of anything by vote or vetos? Bring it forward

Former Governor of YuCatan Is Asked to Explain Discrepancy

New York, March 23-General nomous Governor of the State of Yucatan, Mexico, will be called on to explain what he did with the differ ence between about S90,000 and the $442,00 belonging to Yucatan which he brought to this country when he fled after the Carranza government came in. General Argumedo never denied that he had the money, but he declined to give it up until "a stable government has been estab- lished in Mexico.''
 Manuel R. Yrigoyen- Lara, who was General Argumedo's secretary of state, got an order from Justice Shearn of the Supreme Court, re- straining the local branch of the Royal Bank of Canada from making any payments to the former gover- nor. Then Yucatan, through it's coun- sel in this city. brought an action in the supreme court for the recovery of the money. Justice Blur directed judgment against General ArgumedO for $472,0 ,000, which included inter est and an attachment was issued against any funds he had here.
 Paper Money in Vault.
 It was learned that he had much money in the safe deposit vault m the Woolworth Building. and an ex- ecution was issued. Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Sinnott, with a lawyer rep resenting the plaintiff. opened the vault and was confronted with a stack of what looked like real money until it was investigated. Then it fOnn6 10 in GNyjn n paper money. nearly all of it being of small value.
 An expert was called in and the work of counting the sheafs of bills was begun. It was Q three-h hour job, and when it was over the total val ue, measured by it's American equiva- lent, was estimated to be between $S0,0O0 and $9O.OOO. There was no gold, and the only bills that Werc considered to be worth their acc value were those issued by the NG- tional Bank of Mexico It is possible that General Argumedo has more money elsewhere, perhaps in Canada, that will bring the amount up to that claimed by the Mexican author ities.
 Moved Office 10 Havana.
 General Carranza appointed Tori bio B. de Los Santos governor of Yucatan, but General Argumedo ! gathered together enough men to drive him out and to assume the gov ernorship himself. General Argumedo said that it soon became evident that the bandits and other parties would [ take possession of the state. and so !! he "decided to remove the governor 1 ship to Havana, Cuba. until thCro ! was a legal government in Mexico" He carried with him the cash. which ! he said amounted to $300,000 in | United States gold.
 'I was responsible for these funds he said and I did not intend to ; leave then behind for the robbers. 1 When it is possible for a lawful gov ernment to exist in Yucatan I shall r return the state funds to the treasury and not before"
 He said that the Bank of Canada

IMPORTANT WITNESS
 ON FIRING LINE
Man Wanted to Testify in Emo
 Case Is in Constant Danger

Paris, March 22.-William Nelson Cromwell arrived today from Switzer- iand to attend a meeting of lawyers interested in the Emo will case, which will be held tomorrow morning at the American consulate.
 One important witness in the case now in France is a soldier named Pjdaut, who was Amos F. Eno's valet at the time of his death. He is now on the firing line and in constant danger of being killed.
 Two courses may be pursued to get Bidaut's testimony. Permission may be demanded for him to come to Paris and testify before Consul Thackara or to go to the United States and testify before a court there
 The latter arrangement needs a re- quest by the American ambassador to the minister of foreign affairs to ask the ministry of war to grant the per mission. This would be difficult of arrangement, as the case does not in- volve public interest except as re- Sards Columbia University. Bidaut's evidence, however, would be con- nected with the second will, while Columbia supports the first. The gen.
 
 this evidence be given in Paris at the earliest moment possible.
 Amos F. Enc, one of New York's largest realty owners. died October 21, 1915, leaving an estate of some S15,0 100000. The will filed for pro- bate was executed in June of 1915 and left the residuary estate of $S,000,0O0 tG COlum bia UniVerSity
 This will was contested by the heirs, Lady Alan Johnstone of London, Gif- ford and Amos R. F. Pinchot, Will liam P. Enc, and others on the ground that undue influence had been exerted Cn MT. Enc and that he was mentally incapable They produced will made in 1914 leaving the res1duary estate to them and nothing to Colum- bia. It is in support of this will that Ridaut's testimony is sought. It is believed he will testify that his for mer employer had lost much Of his mental power William Nelson Cromwell represents MT. Eno's sister and two nieces.
