4 Traffic Problem,

Inc mills are generally on the
water fronts of the rivers and
creeks. Close to them and parallel
ing the watercourse is the main
street of the town, with the dwell

crowded closely above or below. In
getting from one valley to another
by anything like direct road ire
mendous hills have to be crossed.
and the municipal engineers have
hard problems TO solve III getting
passable grades for them as we'll
as the city streets. In Pittsburgh
itself inclined railways are resorted
to in places, the traffic being low
cred and lifted by what are in eff
feet huge elevators. Trestles and
bridges are everywhere. Popula-
ton, factories, railroads, business
houses and residences all tend
toward the valley floors, so that
great congestion exists in proximity
to the open country. The result is
that many Of the working people
are grouped more closely together
than in most factory towns and live
where pleasant surroundings are al
most impossible. In these long and
narrow towns it is impossible to
traverse them without seeing the
worst sections more easily than the
best The nearness of the work
mems quarters to the mills, which
the topography encourages if it docs
not necessitate, to large extent
contributes to the slatternly appear
ance of their habitations, with
smoke and SCOT everywhere.

VALUELESS BEASTS
OF BURDEN IN POUND

There are eight or ten mules in the
city pound and some horses. But
few OF them are of any value. The
policemen believe in many cases the
owners OF this class OF stock are
unable to buy feed for them and
turn them loose to shift for them
selves. The most of them would not
sell for enough to pay the cost OF
advertising and selling them, to.
gether with the feeding Of them un.
til the time of the sale.
Assistant Chief Butcher this
morning called Mayor 10 F. vii
liams' attention to the pound, the
only place the city has in which to
keep impounded stock. 1t is only
a small pen, uncovered and nearly

Williams said he would see today

cases the mother is compelled to

SINN FEINERS FEARING
FORCIBLE SUPPRESSION
BY BRITISH MILITARY

London, Jan. l4.-The intention
iorcibly to suppress the Sim Fem
organization is attributed to the
British government in certain quar-
tiers in ireland, according to Dub
lin dispatch to the Mail. Moder-
ates there, the correspondent says,
are speculating anXiously as to what
developments may be expected
from a meeting OF the council which
the goyernor-general called Mon
day night at Dublin. Castle. The
correspondent says:
Sober-minded, responsible men
take very gloomy view OF the situ-
alton. 1t is feared that the gov
crnment is about to embark on a
new campaign OF repression which
may include the forcible suppress
sion OF the Sim Fein, with such
results as are to,be expected when
the government takes up armed
conflict with IS per cent OF the
population"
The writer traces this fear to the
Tory successes in the recent cleo
tions in England which, he says,
are regarded as having given the
"coercionists" a predominating in
iluencc in the state and have Gre
atcd the belief that Ulster will be
