HYLAN WANTS CREDIT
FOR A TRANSIT IDEA

At the Board of Estimate meeting
yesterday Mayor Hylan took vigorous
exception to the statement of Gov.
Miller that the city administration had
prc ctiuced no constructive suggestion for
any OF New York's transit problems.
The Mayor laid special claim to having
had a thought upon the subject of the
West Side tracks problem and declared
that same thought Is the suggestion
for Improvement now Incorporated In
the report Of the New York and New
Jersey Port and Harbor Development
Commission which the Governor re-
Gently commended.
The Mayor said he originated the
idea, that IL was put into legal shape
by the Corporation Counsel and pre-
sented to the commission for incor-
poration In It's report by Murray Hull
bert, Commissioner of Docks. He ex-
planned that while representatives of
his administration at n public hearing
In Albany last Tuesday objected TO
the port treaty bill as whole. they
did not object to the particular feature
to which the Mayor lays claim.
And / want to say right here"
Mayor Hylan continued. that this talk
about the city authorities not taking
any action on the West Side matter Is
absolute rot. Action has been taken
in court and the case now is on ap-
peal. When they say that nothing has
been done II Is absolutely Incorrect"
"a lot OF loose talking in Albany"
suggested Francis X. Sullivan. acting
President OF Queens.
NO: I don't say that" replied the
Mayor.
Then. by way of supporting his state
ments, the Mayor called upon J. Blocker
Miller. Assistant Corporation Counsel,
TO outline what had been done.

STAND BY OPPOSITION
TO TRANSIT MEASURES

The political wrinkles which appeared
In the ranks of Twentieth Assembly
district Republicans within recent weeks
were ironed out last evening at a peace
ful meeting Of the district Republican
Club. when State Senator william Dug
gan and Asscmblyman Mario q. Firro
defended their opposition 10 the transit
measures during the legislative fight at
Albany.
Neither was questioned concerning his
negative vote on the traction measure,
because In this respect they seemed to
be supported BY safe majority of club
members. At regular meeting Of the
club last Monday evening, however.
there had been criticism of a series OF
articles In two New York newspapers In
which Senator Duggan was extensively
quoted, and quoted In such manner as
some believed injurious to the best inter-
ests OF tho party. There also had been
one article In a Harlem Newspaper pur-
porting &c have been written BY As-
sombyman De Pirro. which came in for
ccnsure.
The meeting last evening was called
10 give the Legislators an opportunit,
% near this criticism repeated and make
whatever defence they cared to put up.
They answered not only this criticism
but the complaints which are understood
to have emanated from county and state
leaders. so the meeting adjourned "sine
die" with harmony, and Frank X Row
crs, district leader. who presided, said
that every one could In some MEASURE
feel "chastcncd' by the frank discus

Albany, March lS.
Gov. Miller went to New York to-day
ana will later go to Atlantic City FOR a
complete rest He may be gone most Of
next week. While fully recovered from
his recent illness the trying duties of the
first ten weeks of his career as Chief
Executive Of the State have made a
brief vacation advisable.
Through his first annual message and
Succeeding special messages he has
placed before the Legislature his entire
programme. He has presented to the
lawmakers his Ideas on the needs of the
State. and his leaving Albany at this
time is significant OF his determination
not to interfere with the prerogatives Of
the legislative branch Of the Govern
ment He has no intention of using the
whip OF his executive power to force
lawmakers into limo in carrying out his
recommendation
The Governor and the Legislature,
however, have been acting IN complete
cooperation. There Is little doubt that
the Executive will get practically every
thing he has asked for. The budget
makers have outdone his request for
economy in State appropriations. His
recommendations for reorganization Of
the Industrial and Tax departments al
ready are laws.

FOOD AND SEED LAWS.

The dairy and food commissioner
made ruling during the past winter

ever, are cautioned that after May !
all eggs must be candled and the cand-
ling certificate must be in every case

The last legislature passed a new
"pure seed law which becomes effec-
tive July /. This law follows closely
the requirements Of the socalled uni
form seed law, and is being passed by
many of the states, Its requirements
are more stringent and definite than
the present law. The dairy and food

pumps and meters. This license costs
So per year. The department is having
made metal license tag which must
be placed on or near each pump or

The dairy and food commission has
made a ruling establishing different
grades Of cream as follows:
Extras shall consist of sweet cream,
clean in flavor and not to contain more
than 2-1O of per cent of acidity.
Firsts shall consist of cream that is
clean. smooth and free from all I'M
desirable Odors, clean to the taste and

Seconds shall consist of cream that
is too sour to grade as first; may con-
tain undesirable flavors or odors to a
slight degree, also that which is too
old to pass as first. All sour cream con-
tanning less than % per cent butterfat

To THE New YORK HERALD: In view
Of tho threatened strike Of railroad
workers 1t seems high time. In my jutlg-
ment. to give thought to the Erie or
Barge Canal. ~.
Freight can be brought through the
canal direct from Duluth to this city and
for much less than by rail. Foodstuffs
have been brought from Buffalo here by
canal iu less time than by rail. This
was partly owing to delays or conges-
tiof at various railroad terminals.
Is it not surprising that shippers, &c..
have not made much more general use
of their canal? ] say their canal adj
visedly.. because this canal belongs to
the citizens of this state, and conse-
quently it Is their duty to use it far
more extensively. ] fully believe that
the.canal may not only help our citizens
in case of strike but also contribute to
the general betterment OF this port and
the State. regret exceed
ipsly that possibilities of such vital I'm
rortance not only to every man, woman
and child in the present population but
to future generations are so generally
d!sregarded.
The supremacy of the. Port of New
York largely depends upon more gen.

Our Unknown Soldier.

In an improvised mortuary chapel
in Chalons-sur-Marne yesterday a
sergeant of the United States Army
placed simple bouquet of red and
pink roses on one Of four flag covered
collins. Thus was selected the Un'
known Soldier who will be laid to
rest in the national cemetery at Ar
lington on Armistice Day.
His name, the unit to which he be.
longed, the place of his birth-all
these facts have been lost. They
will never be known. for effective
measures were taken to prevent fu
ture Identification Of the man whose
mortal frame has been chosen for
the conspicuous honor which will be
paid to him.
The significance of the ceremonial
interment of the Unknown Soldier
lies in the circumstance that he is
rot, identified. His sacrifice has beer
complete. He has given all. Thus
he typifies those uncelebrated heroes
who In its hour Of need serve their
country with utter forgetfulness OF
self, and in perishing insure the con
tinued greatness Of the land from
which they sprang.
