Hylan Resolves to Make
New York Better City

In his New Years greeting to the
people of the city, Mayor HYlau yes
terday declared that a good New Year.
resolution would be "for all of us to
resolve to do everything in our power
to hand on our city to our successors
greater and better than we found it.
The Mayor spoke optimi sticaly Of
return to normalcy in the new year
and, without specifically referring to
the housing situation or the crime
wave, quoted the admonton of Abra-
ham Lincoln:
Let not him who is houseless pull
down the house Of another. but let
him work diligently and build one for
himself, thus by example assuring that
his own shall be safe from violence
when built"
"The relations between capital and
labor have reached a better under
standing," said the Mayor. Employ
ers no longer regard their emp oyees
as chattels but as associates. The
necessity Of acknowledged one an
others rights and interests has been
demonstrated and the result has been
a wholesome spirit Of cooperation.
The recognition Of mutual RESPONSE
bilities is leading to a better relation
ship between capital and labor, and
both sides, as we'll as the general pub
lie, Will be benefited.
"1n large cities there are always
selfish groups and self-seeking classes
as we'll as individuals whose influences
tend to keep people apart. Such cities,
without pride and confidence in them
selves, become mere aggregations of
buildings and people. If each citizen
of New York will work unselfishly
with due regard for his neighbor' s
welfare and in the interest of the com
mon good a deeper interest and =
l<eener pride in the cit will be fos-
tered. New York City needs more o..
this common spirit"

1920 Sets Record
AS Healthiest Year
In Annals of CITY
Decrease in Deaths From Tu-
Observation-Disclosures and
Group Especially Noted
in DIR. Copeland's Report

Last year was the healthiest New
York City ever experienced, according
to figures made public last night by
Health Commissioner Royal S. Cope
land.
He said that fewer persons died from
tuDercuIos s, diphtheria, Group, congen-
ltal diseases, influenza and just plain
accidents. In few diseases, like can
ceI, and other degenerarive internal dis
eases, the mortality was slight; rceater
IN 1920 than in 1919
There were 73,249 deaths -epo. ted
last year, as compared with 74,433
deaths in 1919. Commissioner Cope
and said that three important features
OF the last years mortality from indi
Vldual causes stood out exceptionally
strong as an indication of improved
health conditions.
The first and foremost" said the
Commissioner, zig tt, mortality from
pulmonary tuberculosis and other
forms OF tuberculosis. During the year
there were 6,184 deaths reported from
tuberculosis of the lungs, with q death
rate of l 1000 of the population, as
compared with 1895 deaths and rate
of 1.23 in 1919, a decrease of 1921
deaths
III the increase in the population be
taken into consideration, it means q
saving Of 1,412 lives from this cause
From other forms of tuberculosis there
were 97O deaths reported during the
year. as compared with l JOB deaths in
1919, a decrease Of 1873 deaths, equiva-
lent to relative decrease of 246
deaths, so that all told the mortality
from tuberculosis showed decrease of
1867 Deaths"
The second outstanding feature
Commiss oner Copeland said, is the
mailer mortality from diphtheria and
Group. There were 1866 deaths re-
ported from these diseases, as COM
pared with 1929 in 1919
"The third factor" continued Com
missioner Copeland, "has been con-
slderable decrease in the mortal ty
from congenital causes, as there were
lS 3,S44 deaths, decrease of 212

legislators Seek
Plan to Cut Down
Auto Death List
Statewide Licensing Law OH
Program; Power to Re.
woke Permits That Are
Abused May Be Provided
From a star Correspondent

ALBANY, Dec. 31.-In order to cut
down the steadily increasing death
toll from automobile accidents. early
legislative action will be sought on
measures which will tend to put teeth
in the automobile law and to give the
state closer supervision over persons
operating automobiles.
The program, first of all, calls for
a state wide licensing law requiring all
automobile owners and drivers to OBJ
tain license, which can be issued only
after the applicant has proved hir
moral, mental and physical fitness to
drive a car.
Bruce w. Cobb, magistrate OF the
New York Traffic Court. has written
state officials and leading nembers Of
the Legislature asking them to support
legislation which will give the Secre-
tary of States Office power to revoke
licenses as proposed in the Kelly y-Simp-
son bill last year.
The rates for licenses for drivers
may be raised from 81 to 50, and those
Of owners from S. to ST. So far as in
creasing the registration license fee is
concerned, that question probably will
be considered in connection with plans
for securing increased revenue. The
suggestion has been made that the
automobile fee should be increased 81
as to provide an additional revenue o
about $9,000,000 to pay for the cost OF
highway maintenance.
In connection with the effort to elm
mate automobile steal ng, the state CON
ference of mayors asks for Legislation
wh ich would assist city police depart
ments in dealing with this type of Grim
inaI. To this end the conference will
propose that dealers in secondhand
cars and owners of garages and store
houses where cars are either repaired
or stared should be licensed and COM
PEELED to submit reports at regular in
tervals. giving car numbers and owners
names and addresses.
It is understood Secretary of State
Lyons VIII seek authority to increas
his staff of chauffeur examiners. The
state at present employs only four.
while New Jersey, with only about 25o =
600 cars, against New York's 100000,
has twenty-four examiners.

6l6 Drunks in 1920; Only
433 in Previous Year

Coincident with the announcement
from TIE Adams Street police court in
Nrooklyn that the first year Of prohibi-
con had resulted in more arrests for
drunkenness than ever before, there
came yesterday another change of en-
fcrcement officers in that borough. For
mer Judge William D. Allen jr., who
has twice previously been enforcement
officer in Brooklyn, was restored to
that Office again yesterday by Daniel J.
Cnapin. who came from Chicago to
rake New York City dry
The statement from the Adams
Street court contains the figures com.
piled by Gerard Horn, the finger print
expert. These figures show that in
1919 there were 483 cases Of intoxica-
ton, as against 6l6 for the present
year. The increase this year has be-
c2ms more marked during the last
three months In December, 1919.

Columbus Whooped 1t
Up in Hayti in 1893

Christopher Columbus sat in
with pair Of kings at New
Years party in Hayti in 1889,
thus setting a new worlds record,
according to a somewhat delayed
dispatch sent out yesterday by
The Associated Press.
The explorers ships, according
to the account Of the incident
given by the correspondent, were
in need of repairs, so Columbus
had his men get to work on them
while he saw the town. He met
up with a couple Of kings, and
after they had passed the greet
ings of the season they stopped at
a place where a table had been
reserved for the monarchs and
celebrated properly.
1t was on this occasion, accord
ing to the correspondent, that
Columbus had his Srst smoke,
which probably had a disastrous
effect upon the royal banquet he
had just consumed, as he appears
to have made no mention Of it
after getting home, but left to-
bacco for Sir Walter Raleigh to
tame.

Chinese Wine, With Kick
ForW eak-Minded, ,HeldUp

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. - wheth-
er Chinese wine, with an alco-
holic content Of nearly 80 per
cent, is to be admitted TO this
country for medicinal purposes was
taken UP to-day for consideration by
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer.
Disposition of many thousand cases of
this wine now being held by the Gus
toms service at different ports is ex-
pccted to be determined by the de-
cison. In San Francisco alone, the
Commissioner said, there were about
10000 cases of the wine held up
On his desk the Commissioner had
nearly empty bottle Of "Ng ka py."
48 per cent alcohol, which he said his
assistants had been sampling in an
effort to determine its status under the
prohibition laws. "Ng ka py" is de-
scribed by the label on the bottle as
an excellent tonic for "exhaustion,
mental weakness or fatigue"
"Ng ka py" has queer smell, Com
missioner Kramer said. At his invita-
tion investigation disclosed that it had
both queer smell and a queer taste,
which seemed to improve after taking.

Borah's $40 Inaugural
Outdone by Harding

From 4 stag Correspondent

From 4 Stag Correspondent
MARION, Ohio. Dec. Ex-senator
William E. Borah's idea for $40 in
auguration appropriation is extrava-
CANT when compared with President
elect Harding's own idea of how this
ceremony should be conducted Prob
ably neither of them will realize their
hopes IN this direction, but Senator
Harding thought of it first.
you know how I'd like to have this
inauguration ?" asked the President
elect one day as the steamship Pas
torres steamed toward the United States
from the tropics. "I'd like to go down
to the Capitol, be sworn in and then
oren up the books and get down to
business. | wonder if the people would
stand for it?
"My idea would be to wait until it
was time to go out of office, and then,
if the enterprise had been successful,
have whale of jamboree."
Senator Harding submitted his pro-
posal for a simple inauguration to a
group Of Senate colleagues, and they
laughed him out of the notion.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. - Tradition
will give way to progress next March
4, when Warren e. Harding, as the new
President of the United States. heads
the inaugurals parade up Pennsylvania
Avenue. Announcement was made to-
day that Senator Harding had decided
to use an autom obile for his ride from
the Capitol to the White House instead
of a carriage, the type Of conveyance
used by every President, with the ex-
ception of Andrew Jackson, since the
Inauguration of Thomas Jefferson.
