The results were beyond the wild est hopes of of the promoters of the company. The land, after lying idle for centuries, seems to have stored up its fertility throughout all that time and now yields crop upon crop with unstinting hand.

HISTORIC TRACT
 BEING RECLAIMED
Famous 'ECampagna ROnana" Is Being Cultivated and Is
 Yielding Big Crops.
LAYS IDLE FOR MANY YEARS
Since the Fall of the Roman Empire This Once Fruitful Tract Has Been Uncutvated-To Reclaim Many
 Thousand Acres.

Ostia, Italy.-Efforts are being made to reclaim and plant parts of the vast tract of land which stretches for sev- eral miles around Rome and goes by the name of the "Campagna Romana." It has been allowed to remain idle and uncultivated ever since the fall of the Roman empire.
 Before that time it was a sort of terrestrial paradise; villas and gar dens were dotted all over it as far as the eye could see, 1t was luxuriant with fruits and flowers, 1t supplied food and work for thousands upon thousands of men, it was one of the most beautiful and intensely cultivat- ed spots in the world.
 When Rome, however, was obliged to resign her position as ''the mistress of the world," the "campagna" was abandoned and gradually became a marshy, malaria-infected desert, in- habited only by a few hardy shep- herds.
 New Law Having Effect.
 Now, however, the law which was recently passed, decreeing that any one who does not cultivate his land to the utmost of its capacity, is liable to have the land confiscated, is be- ginning to have its effects. Prince Aldobrandini has engaged a company to reclaim huge estate of several thousands of acres, which he owns in the "campagna.'
 The work already has begun and an experimental station has been set up at Ostia. The land was first of all drained and then arrangements were made to obtain water from the Tiber for irrigation. Electric tractors to draw the blows were then bought and various kinds of fruit, vegetables and cereals were cultivated in order to find out how fertile the land is and what kind of crop it is most adapted

week there will be few honest critics
left. The Governor has said that his
plan for a unified system, municipality
owned. will not necessarily mean an in
creased fare. In fact, it is his expressed
belief that it may be less than 5-cent
fare. He has also said that his pro-
posal does not mean an invasion of
any principle of home rule. To this he
has added that there was considerable
loose talk about home rule, and that
many of his critics, misled by what he
characterized as "loose thinking" had
rushed TO an unjust attack provoked by
their imagination and not by the facts.
Friends of the Governor point to sew
eral absurdities in to~day's published
reports. One report had it that the
fate of the Governors traction program
depended on compromises, which must
be satisfactory to six men in the Sen
ate who control the situation"
No such situation exists. Whatever
the Governor recommends-even if it
be as drastic as his bitterest critics
paint his program--it will be passed
by both branches of the Legislature,
with nearly twoscore votes to spare.

Use of Harris Island as

From StoG Correspondent

ALBANY, Feb. o-Commissioner
Hami ton, of the New York City De
partment of Correction, has been asked
by the State Commission of Prisons to
discontinue further use of Hart's ISL
and as a potter's field for the un-
claimed dead The commission holds
that this is necessary if the reforma-
tory prison on the island IS to be con-

Hart's Island has been used since
1869 as a burial place for the cty's S
dead. The exact number of burial5
up to December 81, 1920, was 225,451,
In touching upon conditions govern
ing the conduct of The reformatory
prison the commission says the prac-
tice Of employing inmates on the de-
partment's steamer, Correction, should
be abandoned, because Of the danger Of
smuggling drugs and other contraband.
In commenting on this Commissioner
Hamilton says;
Numerous arrests have been made
on the boat, and we have effectively
topped this avenue of smuggling.
There is no longer any danger of in
mates receiving drugs while working
on the boat"

tion systems face complete collapse"
unless some construction plan is speed
lily carried out, the Merchants Asso-
c1ation yesterday adopted resolutions
favoring Governor Miller's proposals
to create commission to deal with the
problem. The association asserted that
the proposed commission should have

rights as to routes and pledges of cred

residents of the city.
Action was taken by the association
after a special committee had reported
the danger Of Il collapse of the trac-
tion lines. The report said: ain the
event OF such collapse and the general
d!slntegration of the present combined
systems, embracing some thirty-five
separate constituent properties, trac-
tion conditions must inevitably become
far worse than at present, and for q
long series Of years the people of this

Untermyer Won't
Quit Probe Even IL
Power Is Denied
Says He Will Continue as
Counsel Regardless of
What Legislature May Do;
Starts South for a Rest

Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
Lockwood committee on housing, an
nounced last night that he would con-
tnue as counsel for the committee, re-
gardless of what happened to the
resolution before the Legislature to
broaden the committees powers.
He, had not yet lost hope, he said,
that the Legislature would feel that
the work thus far done by the commit
tee had entitled it to sufficient conf
dence to give it the powers to investi-
gate banks and insurance companies,
which it believes to be necessary to
obtain the best results.
Mr. Untermyer left for Washington
last night to attend to some legal bust
ness, whence he will go tomorrow to
Florida for few weeks rest He will
return, he said, and resume the in
vestfgaton under whatever powers are
granted by the Legislature.
"The leaders Of the Legislature,
says Mr.. Untermyer's statement IN
part, "claim that the powers the COM
mittee now has are sufficient for our
purposes. believe / know more about
the subject than they do, and it is my
opinion that the committee ought not

scribed powers that may be challenged
at every step and that may result In
converting the investigation into a
series of interminable lawsuits.
"It cannot be too often recalled that
the mair. purpose of any legislative in
vestigation should be to present CON
structive legislation. In this case the
purpose is to relieve the housing crisis
that is nearing cataclysm. Unless
broad loan market can be created no
relief is possible. We ought to be per-
mittet demonstrate, as we can, why
the state should demand and enforce
this aid; why it is to the interest of
the real benefciaries in these institu-
tions, as we'll as to the public, and why
it is being withheld.
"After considerable deliberation and
hesitation and much against my per-
sonaI comfort and inclinations, | have
decided not to accommodate the gen
tlemen connected with these financial
institutions who would like TO see me

Assembly no matter what he may want
done, for such is the faith Of the ma
jority in the belief that the Governor
can solve the traction muddle in New
York City.
Ninety~six votes is twenty in excess
of required majority in the Assembly
In the Senate, where twenty-six is u
majority, there are at least thirty-three
members ready to vote for the traction
bills embodying the Governors ideas,
or seven more than a required jor-
ity. All these votes were pledged inn
mediately after his traction message
to the Legislature had been read
Another absurdity was the statement
that the Governor was moved to make
these Concessions" and Compromises"
which have not been made-because
he was anxious to insure Republican
victory in the mayoralty election next
fall.
Just before the Governor was taken
i'll, in discussing the traction situation,
he said that he was not concerned with
the mayoralty situation in New York
City; that it was no concern Of his,
and that he regretted that those Re-
publican leaders who were speaking of
it in connection with the traction prob
lem were doing it, as this, he said,
was playing politics with n serious
situation. And he is still of this mind.
The Governor, who has been COM
PEELED to cancel all engagements by
order of his physician, including one
for tomorrow afternoon with the rep
resentatives of several women's organ
izations, has granted newspaper COR
respondents requests for short audi
ence tomorrow, when the traction pro-
gram will be discussed. This will be
the first interview with the Governor
in nearly three weeks.

City Charged With 5000
For Enright Propaganda
Finance Examiner Finds 5000
Circulars Denying Crime Wave
Were Sent i'm the Mails

Comptroller Charles L. Craig yester-
Day gave out the report Of Robert B
examiner of the Department of Finance,
regarding the circulars defending the
Enright police administratio which
were printed by the Bureau of Print
ing of the Police Department and dis
tributed through the mails The Comp
troller announced several days ago that
he would not pay the vouchers on this
account, when they came to him, as he
did not consider it proper charge
against the city.
Mr.. Mcintyre reported that approx
mstely e,000 of these circulars had been
sent through the mails by the Police
Commissioner. There were two circu-
lars. One was an address by Commits
sioner Enright before the Kings County

Grand Jurors Association, january Id,
and the other was q reprint of an inter
view obtained by George Creel with the
Police Commissioner, in which thu latter
replied to his critics and declared there
was no crime wave in New York City.
The two circulars were inclosed in one
envelope, carrying four cents postage.
1t appears from the examiners re-
port that the cost of printing and dis
tribution, exclusive of any overhead
charge for superintendent in the print
ing plant and for hire in addressing and
stamping envelopes, was S9o0.95. In
addition to the direct expense, the re-
port says, 1900 envelopes were used for
mailing the documents to boards of
trade, civic organizations, clergymen
and others. Batches of the circulars
also were sent to different organizations,
who undertook to make distribution
of them on their own account. Others
were distributed directly from Police
Headquarters TO people who inquired
for copies.

Traction Bills Going
Through, Say Leaders
Glynn and Lusk Declare Repub-
licans Are Ready TO Back All
Governors PrOposaIs

George A. Glynn, chairman of the
Republican State Committee; Senator
Clayton r. Lusk, leader of the majority
in the upper house at Albany, and
Senator Charles J. Hewitt, chairman of
the Finance Committee, said last night
that Governor Miller's traction re-
organization plans will go through as
outlined by the Governor in his mes
sage to the Legislature.
There has been no change in the
Governors position on traction reor-
ganization for this city," said Chair
man Glynn. "The understanding on
the part of the Republicans interested d
in framing the measure is that the
Board of Estimate in this city will re-
tain the powers it now has of arrang-
ing financial details in connection with
contracts, but the Board of Estimate
will not be permitted to continue as a
stumbling block in proper solution
of traction reorganization manifestly
needed.
THE bills carrying out the Gov
errors traction reorganization meas
are in process of preparation, and |
think they will be ready for introduc-
tion early next week" said Senator
Lusk, There has been no change in
the Governors general idea of what the
measure should be, so far as know,
ana think l know what is being done.
The Governor in his message outlined
his views. ] do not recall that he ad-
vocated depriving the city OF New York
OF any rights that it now enjoys, but
he did make it clear that he favored a
commission that will bring about de-
sired results"
Governor Miller's program, both for
traction reorganization and his plans
for reducing the budget expenditures
10 a point below last years figures, are
going through according to program" ;"
said Senator Hewitt, chairman of the
finance Committee. "We are all wait
ing, to see what'the traction bills com
prehend. If they clearly set forth the
Governors views as expressed in his
message to the Legislature there is
little doubt that they will become laws.
