 Home Cooking.
 What we got at the American mess was this: A thick, frowsy. greasy soup "a kind of larded dishwater; thin steak fried hard as nails, boiled beans with friend bacon laid on the beams not pork and beans, but called pork and beans-with the beans slithery and hard and underdone; lettuce. cab bage and onions soused in vinegar white bread cut an inch thick, soft and spongy, boiled potatoes that had stood in the water after they were cooked done, and then bread pudding. made by pouring water on bread stick ing in some ralsins, stirring in an egg and serving floury syrup over it for sauce. There was enough of course to keep soul and body together. But the cooking had spoiled lot of mighty good food. And Henry liked it. There were two preachers with us and they bragged about the good old American cooking.

The New York Primary

We doubt whether many careful observers of New York politics expected that Attorney General Lewis would defeat Governor Whitman for renomina- ton There were too many things to be overcome In the first place Whitman who has perhaps been an. average governor inevitably had the machine. He had also what support Tammany could lend him and Tammany has more than once exerted an influ- ence in republican factional quarrels
 The attorney general became involved in a con-

Lewis side of it and doubt it meritorous side, it came to have the appearance of personal quarrel Personal con- troversies almost always detach sympathy from can ddates when they involve persons who not can didates and Hearst

for the company, said that any schedule
of rates submitted by the commissioners
that would yield the same return as at

The commissioners made no decision,
but the impression gained from the
questions asked was that they considered
the meter rates too high, and the diff

manufacturing and hotel rates discrim-
inatory. ruling by the commission
may be expected before July 1, when it

Boys Swallowed

Lad of Four Years Drowned
Boy Scout Rescues Two
COMPANIONS

Louis Glover, four years old, of 42
Oxford Avenue, Richmond Hill, was
playing with his brother Richard aged
six, yesterday afternoon in the yard
in the rear of 46 Woodmere Place. Two
other lads were in the game, Harold
Sackman, two and one-half years, and
Joseph Nanno, who lives in the house
at that address.
The boys were having fast gam
of tag. Suddenly the earth opened
directly beneath Louis and he disau
peared from sight. His brother and
the little Sackman boy ran to see what
had happened and they, too, plunged
into the opening.
The boys had fallen into an old cess
pool, filled with about five feet of rain
and snow water AS soon as Richard
recovered from his surprise he bracel
himself against the side of the pool
and grabbed the Sackman boy by the
shoulder, keeping his head above water

Awaiting Coal Cars

WASHINGTON, Feb T. Sudden

of the blizzard stricken East. They
could not recover instantly from the
bitter cold of the last few days, how
ever, and coal transportation, accord
ingly. still was far below normal
Reports to the railroad and fuel adj
ministrations said many coal mines
were not supplied with empty cars.
and that traffic was tied up so badly
in principal rail centres that it would
take q week to restore even the same
degree of order that prevailed last
week
Labor was moro plentiful to-day,
however. and loading and unloading
operations went on faster in most Of
the country. Coal still was frozen in
cars which have been standing in the
open for days, and it will take day
or two more of moderate temperature
to thaw it out This condition was
particularly bad at New York and
other eastern ports where difficulty is
being encountered in bunkering ships.
Reports from A. Fl. Smith. regional
director of railroads in the East, said
yesterdays freight movement was
about forty per cent below normal, and
this applied to coal as we'll as to gen
