A STORY WITH A MORAL.

A New York evening paper
published the following interest
ing story:
A swift verdict in favor of a
tenant was reached recently by a
jury sitting in Justice Parker's
term of the Harlem Municipal
Court, when Police Lieutenant
Becker, owner Of a house at 20
East 10th street, failed in his
attempt to have Mrs. Matilda
Pfeifer elected from her apart
ment. 1t was brought out in the
trial that Becker showed violent
discrimination against Jews and
that he had employed city detec-
tives to aid him in annoying Jew
ish tenants. After the decision
had been handed down Justice
Parker ordered that Mayor Hy-
Ian and Police Commissioner En-
right be informed of Becker's ac-
tions against his Jewish tenants.
Tenants in the Becker house
testified that City Department de-
tectives, acting under instruc-
tions from Becker, had frequent
1y raided their homes, and taken
them into custody for card play
ing. The cases were thrown out
when brought before the local po-
lice court. 1t was also brought
out that Becker had placed rental
advertisements in two newspa-
pers which informed Jewish read
ers that they need not apply for
apartments.
This is the story and here is
the moral The Mayor should
examine the sources wherefrom
the policeman bought the house.

way men and changes in the working
conditions Of train dispatchers as an
nounced by the Erie railroad, were
suspended by the federal railroad la
Dor board today.

Train dispatchers representatives
charged the road had ordered them
to work seven days a week instead
Of six.

S., 100000 TO BUY
SEED CORN URGED BY
NORTH OAK SENATOR

Washington, Feb. lathe agricul-
tural appropriation bill will be report
cd to the senate today by Senator A.
j. Gronna, chairman of the senate
committee, who sad that there were
new features in the bill as compared
with the measure that passed the
house.
In response to the resolution of the
North DakQta legislature, an appro-
priation of 100000 is made for the
purchase of seed grain Gin the drouth
stricken areas of North Dakota, Mon
and adjoining states. The cost
OF this seed is to be secured by a lien
on the crops.
Gronna Urges Loan.
"1f this loan is not granted the
farmers" said Senator Gropna, ut
will mean that more than 5000, 900
acres of rich land cannot be planted
because the farmers have no seed.
and no financial aid can be secured
in the states affected. We made a
loan of this kind during the war and
the government lost nothing"
The senate committee inserted an
Item of $4,000, to enable the MIME
sofa state agricultural college to make
experiments in the use of picric ac.d.
INT and Trojan powder for clearing
waste land and for road building.
This item was in the bill as reported
to the house, but 1t was stricken out
on a point of order.
The appropriation for cooperation
with the states in the prevention of
forest fires was increased from $685.
900 to $625,00O. The appropriation
for, the eradication Of the white pine
blister rust, which has become a men,
ace to the standing pines in Mime
sofa. was increased from $4,000 to
$214,00O.
~. Free Seed Eliminated.
A paragraph was placed in the bill
directing the secretary of agriculture
to use $4,000 in experiments for the
prevention of grain lust explosions in
mills and other buildings where such
explosions are likely to occur.
Fifty thousand dollars is provided
for experiments to prevent the ravages
Of grasshoppers.
The appropriation Of 100000 for
distributing garden seed free by mem
bers Of the house and sena was
eliminated from the bill by unanimous
vote of the committee.
A study of improved marketing
methods to be made in co-operatio,,
with the state is authorized in the bill
as agreed upon in the committee.

Oppose Treaty Revision.

We Wish to Thank
The Public
for their cooperation in having their exact fare ready
during the first two weeks of operation of the new
Safety Cars. The willingness on the part of the rider
has made it possible for us to maintain our present
schedule, at the same time the operators are becoming
familiar with the new safety devices which this car
carries. It requires about six weeks of constant opera
ton before the operator can handle his car to it's best
advantage.
= = 1t is very pleasing, the manner in which the Uni
versity Students have adapted themselves to the
change. Their willingness as we'll as their efforts to
educate others is highly appreciated as the operation
of the safety car is in a large degree dependent upon
the manner in which the public co-operates in two
very essential things.
First, by having their exact fare ready to drop
into the fare box as they are. leaving the car and Sec
ond, as soon as the operator has called the street, the
safety car is designed with the bells high, hence the
purpose of the rider to Immediately rise, ring the bell
and move forward to the fare box ready to alight as
soon as the car comes to a stop. By doing so. the pat
ron can walk from the seat to the fare box in comfort
and safety, providing it is done before the operator
applies the air to the brakes to make a stop. If the
rider rises to ring the bell and then sits down again
waiting for the car to slow up, it makes for them con-
siderable discomfort in walking forward to the fare
box after the operator has applied the brakes. This is
the one object why these bells in safety cars are placed
high out of reach from a seated Fatron, so remember
for your comfort and a tin1e-saver for yourself, that
when your street is called or the intersection passed
just before the one you wish to get off at, rise, ring
the bell and move forward to the fare box before the
brakes are applied. This in itself will save from six to-
seven minutes for. every r%ound-trip on a car, which
will result in slower time operation, relieving the op-
orator of fast stops and starting.
The time that is lost in waiting for the passenger
in leaving the car can be used in slower starting and
stopping which will permit us to Maintain our sched-
ue with omfort for all.
Every day shows improvement and while the op-
orators are improving wonderfully in the handling of
their cars, a large amount of this credit is also due the
rider in their efforts to save time.
Thanking our patrons for their cooperation so
far and assuring them that every time they cooperate
with us,.i permits us to serve you more diligently.
Straps are being provided on all cars for the safe
ty and convenience of the rider.
