Mr.. Finnette, driver of the milk
truck of C. A. Peck Of Westminster,
in trying to go around large touring
car on a narrow street, went over a
bank toward railroad track, and as
the truck struck the track Mr.. Fin
nette was thrown out. This saved his
life, as the car was practically de-
stroyed by the impact and the whole
load of milk and containers was de-
stroyed.

Government are always just on the

Adventure of a Hat.
A Little Hurricane Brings Ont One
OF Yew YOrk's Traits.


To THE NEW YORK Herald: i have
often heard that II you lose your hat
in the street you need not run after
It, as somebody is sure 70 do 1t for you
The truth of this has been amply
demonstrated to me.
On my way home at o'clock little
hurricane suddenly came out Of the
west. forerunner Of a thunderstorm.
My light straw blew OFF and was carried
into the rapids OF Broadway. ! stood
still in obedience to the above advice
and watched to see what happened.
Sure enough, in moment ] saw not
only one but two men pursuing the
fugitive at the imminent risk of their
lives. But alas their efforts were In
vain: the wind continued to swirl and
the hat disappeared. Believing I had
scen the last of II. consoled myself
with the reflection that ii needed clean
ing and wasn't much OF loss
was then about to proceed when /
heard shout behind me. Looking
round / saw man who pointed up the
street. There IL is. up there!' he ex-
claimed excitedly. 1t was true. The
hat had actually been blown back across
the street,
] hastened to rescue II. but before I
could lay my hands on II young man
eagerly picked 1t up and handed It to
me with a smile. Then as / passed my
friend down the street he beamed sat
isfaction on me, exclaiming: You've
got It I"
After this, j said to myself, who

Main Street and Broadway.

That eminent and entirely human
diagnostician OF social affairs whose
capital is Emporia in the forward
looking State OF Kansas and whose
wit and insight are the possession OF
the whole country. WILLIAM ALLEN
WHITE, has come to the defence OF
Main Street as that thoroughfare is
depicted by SINCLAIR LEWIS, and
generally well informed, satisfactory,
encouraging defender he makes; but
in three sentences he reveals blind
spot In his intellectual eye to which
we feel irresstibly impelled to call
attention. In Golfers Weekly, using
Broadway" to symbolic the large
city, Mr.. WHITE writes:
broadway is eiard. 1t has no
neighbors. Death, poverty. grief,
tragedy visit the city and no friends
hurry TO heal the wounds"
That the people OF great cities are
less kindly, less sympathetic, less
quick to aid their fellows overtaken
by misfortune than are the residents
OF smaller settlements Is mistaken
notion, born of superficial knowledge
and lack OF intimate acquaintance
with the details of community life.
Nowhere in truth, are hearts more
tender and consciences more alert to
fraternal obligation than In New
York, or Chicago, or Los Angeles, or
any other staggering aggregation of
human units. How could II possibly
be otherwise?
Those human units are from the
same mould whether they go to the
motion picture theatre on Main Street
or on Broadway; they were bred
under similar conditions; they are
inspired by similar ambitions; they
respond in identical ways TO SINH
lar suggestions. Their weaknesses
are alike and their strength is one
strength. The more closely their ap-
parent differences are examined the
less important they are seen to b6
aud the more conspicuously their
common characteristics stand out.

The Postal Advisory Committee.

Postmaster General HAYs's ad.
visory committee OF prominent New
Workers to help him meet the postal
needs of this city is live committee.
Composed Of MICHAEL FRIEDsAM,
CLARENCE II. KELSEY, DARwIN p.
KINGSLEY, WILLIAM F. MORGAN and
Ex-Governor ALFRED e. SMITH, 1t is
as we'll a committee of practical ex-
perience, business Judgment and COM
mon sense. Therefore 1t is COM
mittee which knows that nothing
workable, efficient and satisfactory
ever can be made out OF the old Fed
eral building at City Hall as great
postal centre.
Colonel FBIEpsAM, himself fine
organizer Of workers, big distribu-
ter Of merchandise and an easy
achiever of varied results, probably
would not take the old Post Office
structure or site as a gift for his
own needs and purposes Of serving
the public.
Mr.. KELSEY, himself stepped in the
theory and practice of valuing real
estate by the uses to which it may
be put, undoubtedly would pass over
the Federal building fifty times be-
fore he would pick 1t for down
town postal station in preference to
dozens of others more suitable and
more economic.
DARWIN P. KINGSLEY, himself a
trustee investor OF prodigious funds
in all manner of property, could not
mistake the Federal building with
his eye shut for possible mail dis
tributing plant OF even third rate ad.
ministrative efficiency and economic
power.
Ex-Governor SMITH, who knows
every nook and corner Of old New
York like book, might have to hunt
down town for weeks before he could
discover anything less fitted for our
present postal needs than the ram
shackle old structure now given ovec
to such employment and the Ill
shaped plot it occupies.
1t is unthinkable that such an ad-
visory committee Of level headed, up
standing New York business men
would dream OF recommending any
treatment for the old Federal build
ing but tearing it down and aban.
doning the site as a postal centre.
But IL or when these men do advise
that very thing, how long might it
take the Post Office Department,
Congress and the rest Of the national
Government to set up a downtown
postal plant on the most highly de-
veloped lines Of operative efficiency?
THE NEW YORK HERALD for one
would not even dare to guess.

Odd Notions of Police Power.

II a stranger visiting New York is
robbed OF all his money by the occu-
pant of an adjoining room in his ho-
tel and subsequently RECEIVERS the
wallet containing the money with the
aid of a policeman whom he sum-
mons to his assistance, may the
City Magistrate before whom the
burglar Is arraigned retain posses
sion of all or any portion of the
stolen money until such time as the
accused person can be brought to
trial?
1t seems to be the theory that this
course may properly be adopted, to
judge from the case OF JOHN K.
CLARKE OF Chicago, a representative
Of manufacturing firm in that city,
who occupied room at the Hotel
Normandie on a recent Saturday
night. A man crept into his window
and carried off HIS wallet containing
all his money. Mr.. CLARKE kept quiet
while the burglary was going on and
he observed that the burglar made his
way into the adjoining room, in
which he was subsequently arrested.
The police took possession Of the
stolen money as evidence that the
crime OF grand larceny had been com.
mitted; when Mr.. CLARKE intimated
that he had no other money avail
able and would like to have his
property restored to him, the Mag
istrate consented TO let him have
SIS for the time being, saying that
he might get the remainder the next
day when he recorded his testimony
with the District Attorney.
II is proper, OF course, for the DO
lice and Magistrates TO take every
reasonable precaution that offenders
against the law shall be prosecuted
and that the cases against them shall
not fail for want OF evidence. but
even the temporary assertion OF the
right to withhold from a citizen his
own money because II may subse
quently be convenient to use II as
evidence gives rise TO a very human

The Fusion Candidates.

Before the Anti-Tammany voter of
New York there is no question now,
with the Fusion ticket in the field,
of how much better might have been
done or might not have been done.
There is no question Of whether there
was bigger and stronger timber in
the community or whether there was
not. There is no question Of whether
different men would have been will
ing to run or whether they would
not run.
There is no question of whether
the names finally decided on by the
coalition committee might have been
more judiciously placed on the ticket,
this one here, that one there, rather
than the way it is. There is no ques-
tion as to how 1t was done or why
1t was done.
For you. Mr.. Anti.Tammany voter,
now that 1t is done, there is only one
question. 1t is, Do you want more
of MURPHY and HYLAN and their
ways, or don't you?
DO you want more of their mis-
management to complete their bust.
ness wreck Of the city's affairs. which
are your affairs? Do you want more
OF their ruinous waste and squander
OF your money to keep the great mu-
nicipal treasury as bare as bank
rupt's till?
Do You want more Of their high
taxes, which go to make high rents?
Do you want more Of their brazen
record of schoo, houses unbuilt and
unrepaired and school teachers not
only underpaid but unpaid while
Brindellism grows fat with graft?
Do you want more of all that, and
can you stand more Of 1t, or do you
want a new deal?
This is the whole question now.
Mr.. Anti-Tammany voter, it is up
to you!

The Grape Situation.
The Likelihood of Italy Competing
With California Is Denied.

To THE NEW YoRK HERALD: Your
comments with respect TO the possibility
of Mediterranean grapes competing with
California grapes in the Eastern market
seem to me to give a wrong impression
European crushing grapes will never
come TO this country, for the following
reasons:
italian grapes--vineyards In Italy are
generally so far inland from the sea-
ports and transportation facilities over

more, wines In Italy are commanding a
good price. being In large demand IN the
Balkan States, Austria and other for

take a chance on a doubtful speculation
when they have sure income in their
own country.
AS to the Spanish and African grapes,
there Is big difference between the
varieties produced there and those OF
this country. as n majority Of these
grapes are white grapes. There may bo
some competition in table grapes. which
undoubtedly may come from Medlter-

very little effect on tho situation. as
