1Otdi ~ W L,OfO
The increasing spread of pneumonia
which helped TO boost the death record
Tor the last week 70 2.076, a growth Of
181 over the preceding week. has caused
the Department Of Health to begin
campaign against violators OF the anti
splitting laws Expectoration in public
places is largely blamed by the depart
ment for the spread OF respiratory dis
eases.
More than $50 violators of the anti
splitting law were arrigned in magis-
trates' courts yesterday. Nearly all
were fined. Inspectors and sanitary
police Of the Health Department arc

Project Win Temporary
Victory In Brooklyn
ORDER WILL BE
ARGUED THURSDAY
Women Band to Arrange
for Harder Fight
Against Road

Opponents Of the Riverside Drive
New York Central track broadening
contract won temporary victory over
hackers of the plan yesterday, when
Judge Cropsey. in Brooklyn. issued nm
order under which the BOARD Of Esti-
mate must show cause why il should
not be restrained from entering into
the pending agreement.
This acts az temporary restraining
order which will be argued out Thurs
day. IL was issued on the plea Of SEN
ator William NJ. Bennett. counsel for
the Society for the Prevention Of Ma
nicipal Waste and the Protection OF
Property Rights in New York City.
Tho order was based, 70 a great eX-
tent. upon an affidavit by J. Blocker
Miller, an expert. containing an ex-
haustivo analysis OF the report re-
Gently made by the Committee on Port
and Terminal Facilities for the Board
OF Estimate. lie insisted that not only
had many statutes been violated, but
also the act of 1911, which gave the
Board Of Estimate authority to pass
upon the proposed improvement.
Big Improvements Halted
Senator Bennett explained that the
injunction did not restrain the city
entirely from entering into a contract
with the New York Central, but did
restrain the Board of Estimate from
passing upon the big programme of
improvements along the Hudson River
proposed in the contract about to be
placed in the hands Of its members.
At a meeting held last night at the
home of Mrs. Charles Appleton Terry,
$40 West l05th Street, plans for a
harder fight were made. The women
were told to;
go to the stockholders Of the New
York Central, themselves. and appeal
70 them TO stop this plan.
"Spit open the solid front OF the
Chamber Of Commerce and you will
find its individual members are
with us.
Make a drive for the members of the
City Club and show them they have
been misled in this matter.
"Send letters and petitions Of protest
to the Board Of Estimate.
A canvsssing squad and letter writ
ing brigade were suggested Charles
L. Craig, lawyer for the West End As
ISOLATION. asserted that the real pur-
pose of the New York Central was to
get control of the waterfront.
Predicts Government Ownership
Government ownership Of railroads
is coming" he said. Twenty years,
say. from now. do you want the New
York Central TO make s250,000 900 by
selling your waterfront 10 the United
States government? The way to pre-
vent this is TO go to Albany and have
the bill of 1871 repealed. This is the
bill by which the City Of New York got
permission TO barter away its inallena-
bic rights in the waterfront to the
railroad"
William H. Allen said that the dan
ger to the city lay in the fact that it
was "chloroformed against moral in
dignation."

This suggestion has come to Gov

suggestion is adopted, it will prob

that the proposed work now author

Mr.. Maddox said his suggestion

terics near the battle fronts and t
extend the system ds the troops ar
