The murder Of Frank Barber, a
chauffeur. in Central Park near the
West 72d Street entrance last night,
marks the forty-first killing in New
York since Oct l. OF the many
crimes recorded but few solutions are
chronicled. or the forty-one murders
enacted since Oct. / twenty-three OF
them remain a mystery. The pepe-
traitors are still at large.
Among the murders which sent q
shudder through law-abiding citizens
Of the city was that of Leeds Vaughn
Waters, the millionaire son OF the
late Horace Waters, plano manufac-
turer. Waters was found beaten to
death in a room in the Plymouth
Hotel in West 2sth Street on Nov. 3.
His murder promises to remain an
unsolved mystery.
On Nov. Ernest Poem, night clerk

Walter Jackowiski, night manager

shot and killed by holdup men on the
night OF oct. II. His slayers have not
been apprehended. So the record OF
murder goes for the five boroughs.
In all, since Jan. /, there have been
i40 murders In Greater New York and
fully three fourths OF them remain
unsolved. Prominent among the kill
ings that remain a mystery was that
Of Joseph d. Elwell, wealthy sports
man and whist expert, who was found
shot 10 death in his West 10th Street
apartment.
The latest murder, that OF Frank
Barber. occurred at IL o'clock last
night, 200 feet south of the West 72d

killed by three hold-up men. Identi-

ovERLApPING CROPS.

It is estimated that forty per cent
Of this years winter wheat crop will
be produced in four states-Kansas,
Nebraska, Oklahoma and Missouri
and in a good deal of this area many
country elevators and mills are now
fun of wheat from the 1919 crop, that
cannot be moved to market because Of
the shortage OF cars. How is the new
crop to be moved under such circum-
stances? That is question which is
troubling bankers. grain dealers, mill
ers and farmers in this part of the
country.
Last year the railroads brought TO-
25s cars of wheat into Kansas City in
July and 14,O12 cars in September.
They were able to haul only 5000 cars
last month. altho country shippers
were clamoring all thru the month for
cars.
Kansas City elevators contain six
and one-half million bushels of wheat,
they should have on the eve of new
crop movement.
It is customary to thresh and mar
ket wheat as fast as country elevators
can take it. and ship it to market.
Therefore, regardless of the size of the
crop the railroads always have a de-
mand for II the cars they can supply
for the first three months of the crop
year.
Grain men say they can see little
hope of anything like a normal move
ment of the new crop. Government
estimate credits Kansas with 100 mil
| lion bushels. Nebraska so million,
Oklahoma "a million. Grain men be-
lieve the outturn in all three states
will exceed the estimate. The crop is
not so big as last year, but it Is large
J enough to make a wheat movement in
the next three months far in excess of
the capacity of railroads to haul it.
! The chr shortage will have the eff
| feet says a writer in the Magazine of
Wall Street, "of forcing farmers to
! hold wheat when they want to sell 1t,
and of limiting supplies at terminal
markets. resulting in a wider margin
| between the price the farmer gets and
the prices the consumers pagan I'M
economic condition and one likely
greatly to increase the dissatisfaction
OF producers"
| This situation as to the marketing of
wheat illustrates the difficulties con-
fronting trade and industry all over
the United States as a result of the in
adequate transportation facilities.

The breaking down of every indus
try touched by the government during
the war has brought about attacks on
the postal system and it's inclusion
among the failures incident to federal
operation. This is scarcely fair. The
postal service until it fell into the
hands of Burleson was well nigh a
model of efficiency and showed steady
progress in the direction of improve
ment and lowered costs.
VIM. A. Law. president OF the First
National bank of Philadelphia, says of
it in the banks bulletin for June:
| 1t was never more difficult to do
business than 1t is today. The mail
service between Philadelphia and New
York is so unreliable that special de-
/ livery matter mailed in the afternoon
| is not sure of delivery to Wall street
| banks in time to get the items into the
| clearing house the next morning This
| seems incredible for the distance is
/ only ninety miles and two splendidly
equipped railroads furnish as fine and
| expeditions train service as anywhere
| in the world. In order to save a full
! days interest charge in the collection
of an enormous volume of exchange,
| therefore, some of the large Philadel-
phia banks now send over these checks
every day by special messengers. That
this should be necessary in a highly
developed railroad territory would be
| ludicrous were it not for the light it
throws upon the low efficiency of the
postal service in a densely populated
| area. 1t may be doubted il any sim
ilarly located cities produce more val
liable mail than is carried between
Philadelphia and New York 365 days
in the year. Why. then. should it be
necessary for the banks to undertake
the work that the government is paid
to do in a territory of enormous bust
ness activity? The incident is sugges-
tive of the things which are bearing
heavily upon the people at the time
when the greatest need exists for the
quickest transmission of intelligence
and business mail between the great
centers of trade activity. Day to day
4 operations show that IL takes from
thirty-six to forty-five hours to deliver
Philadelphia mail in suburban towns
around New York. while distribution
within New York City limits is some
times almost as slow.
This is cited as an evidence of whsf
government ownership means" II
fact. it is but one more evidence Of
what Burleson control means.

opportunities that we inherit, that to
ourselves, at least, we appear made
quate before them. And that is a
good sign.
Most of the great decisions of the
world-the decisions that have af-
fected humanity most at its heart
were made when those under the
necessity of making them, had come
to realize their utter inadequacy.
When the fact of the Crucifixion
was assured, the man around whom it
all revolved, quietly withdrew to Geth-
semane-and there prayed. History
records that Washington did the same
thing at Valley Forge, when it seemed
as tho his own powers had to have
reinforcement. Lincoln did the same
thing during the trying years of Civil
war. And the story is told of soldiers
during the late great war who saw
Marshal Foch kneeling in obscure lit
tie churches. away from the battle
lines. earnestly praying for guidance.
You have to feel inadequate in or
der ever TO become adequate.
And it matters not whether your
task Is simple and ordinary. or
fraught with heavy results, To be
adequate is to do the best that you
know how-for the combined best of
all of us is the best of the world.
