Taste In and Out of New York.

City police stood guard in front OF
a theater in Cincinnati that the
Mayors order to prohibit further
representations of "The Rubicon"
might be enforced. This comedy was
acted for several months at theater
in this city, presumably with profit
or IL would not have been kept on
view. Chicago saw the piece with
less enthusiasm. The answer OF the
metropolis of Ohio to the charms OF
the French play was shown by the
presence of the police in front of the
playhouse.
Other dramas that enjoyed a meas
ure Of prosperity here last season
have failed to interest the public in
the other cities. Some have fallen
by the wayside. In others the LAM
guage has been so amended as to
conform TO the ideals of art and de-
corum that prevail in the commune
ties where they we're performed.
Thus does the drama serve to dem
onstrate one OF the theories that used
to be most popular with the play
wrights. Countless dramas have been
written on the thesis that the city
streets are the primrose paths. while
the green lanes lead TO the abodes OF
the blessed Maybe such hypothesis
has less effect with the present gen.

A Locomotive Can Jump
One Leaped aS Feet; Another Cleared
Is Feet OF Unsupported Rail.

From Popular Mechanics Ma0asine.
The bridge engineer of certain rail-
way showed me, some years ago. a pho
tograph of a locomotive taken just after
It had leaped across a twenty-eIght foot
opening. The big drive wheels rested
securely on the crossties after Jumping
the span left vacant by an open draw
bridge.
The locomotive had been at the head
OF a fast freight previous to the accident.
1t was down grade to the bridge and the
draw was open. 1t was impossible to
stop. The train plunged ahead and the
locomotive reached the opposite side of
the channel and alighted right side up
and unchanged. The tender fell into
the opening and cars piled up in a heap
between the two, abutments.
An engineer in the maintenance of
way department or midwest railway
told me- the following story whica
afterward verified, for It was difficult to
believe.
a small stone culvert was 20 be re-
placed by an iron pipe. There was n
sufficient interval between, regular trains
to complete the work. Red flags were
posted at the prescribed distances IN
both directions. A gang Of workmen
excavated the small I'LL over the culvert
and removed the stone.
At this stage Of the work fifteen feet
Of the steel rails only spanned the open
irg. From them the crossties hung by
tfe spikes. Underneath the ties for n
height OF some six feet there was notn-
ing but air
There came tae distant rumble OF an
approaching train. II was special and
the req nag having blown over, II came
rushing on at full speed. One and all
the workmen dropped their tools and
ran headlong into the open field. The
foreman ran, too. not venturfhg to look
back and expecting every second ~ bear
the seemingly inevitable crash.
Finally, at a safe distance, he turned
TO look. The special was fast disappear
Ing from sight. IT had crossed fifteen
feet Of unsupported rails and continued
on its way Not only had the locomo-
tive jumped the space. but, to the amaze
ment OF all, three cars behind II had
safely negotiated the hazardous crossing.

Two Separate Organizations Cooper.
ating I'm the Work.

To THE New York Herald: In the
announcement of the fact that the
Roosevelt Memorial Association has de-
cided to accept the proposal OF the
womans Roosevelt Memorial Associa-
tion that IL house its collection OF books,
manuscriptsN and cartoons relating 10
Roosevelt in Roosevelt House on East
Twentieth street. the point has not been
made clear that Roosevelt House is be-
ing built not by the Roosevelt Memorial
Association but by the Woman's Roose-
welt Memorial Association.
The officers of the Woman's associa-
in raising the funds necessary TO build
this fireproof structure on the site OF
Roosevelt's birthplace, and every atom
of credit should go to them. The trus-
tees of the Roosevelt Memorial Assoc
citation believe heartily In the work
which the Woman's association has been
doing, and since the fundamcnt5l pur-
pose of the two associations rs the same,
namely to perp6tuate the memory of
priated s15O,oO0 of the association s
funds to the completion of the house.
The library and the museum of The
Roosevelt Memorial Association will %
placed in Roosevelt House flor preserva
ton and public exhibition. and the star
OF the bureau of research of the Roose-
welt Memorial Association which main
tains these collections will have office
space there. The Woman's Roosevelt
Memorial Association will retain COM
plete control of the management of the
house. There is no question of merger
of the two organizations. Each asso-
ciatiorf will retain absolutely its iden-
tity and will continue to carry on Its
own work. The headquarters of the
Roosevelt Memorial Association will con-
tinue to be at Madison avenue: from
Roosevelt House the Woman's associa-
tion will carry on independently the
splendid program which the directors OF
that association have already inaugu-
rated. HERMANN HAGEDoRN.

Who Is "the Big Chief?

The testimony in the bus inyesti-
cation on Monday ought to be followed
up at once by District Attorney
BANToN, and. if necessary, by the
District Attorneys Of the other coun-
ties of this city.
LOUIS REIDL, apparently man OF
honesty, told a remarkable story of
attempted blackmail to the Transit
Commission. After receiving permis-
sion to operate bus lines and after
spending good deal of money to get
buses, a Brooklyn politician de-
manded $4,000 from him. REIDL,
who refused to pay, soon lost his bus
business.
The politician said that the 5000
was not for himself. but for ''the Big
Chief" Who "the Big Chief" was is
the mystery which one of the Dis
trict Attorneys should solve. In JUS
tice to the Mayor it should be said
that the man who tried to gouge Mr..
REIDL declared specifically that Mr..
HYLAN was not "the Big Chief"
The Mayor more than anybody else
should be keen to discover who "the
Big Chief is. He, according to
REIDL, encouraged REIDL to go into
the bus business. He is the father of
the bus idea. His Commissioner of
Plant-and Structures supervises the
city buses
If the Mayors advice led REIpL to
put his money into the bus business
and the Mayors Commissioner put
REIDL out of the bus business. and in
between those happenings somebody
tried to blackmail REIDL-then the
Mayor ought not to rest until the
criminal has been discovered.
The city may smile over the stories
of honest graft that have been told
in the bus investigation, but it does
not smile over blackmail and the ruin
Of honest business men.
Who is this big Chief" and why
did he dare to threaten REIDL? How
did it happen that his threat came
true when REIDL refused to pay
tribute?

Thoughtless Youth.
Two Girls Suffer From Inheriting
Sudden Wealth.

To TIE NEW YORK HERALD: A life
long friend recently died in western New
York leaving to his only children. two
daughtcrs. mis- great wealth. These girls
had always been brought up in a simple
way OF living; In fact. the family had
always led the simple life.
When tile daughters received the first
installmcnt of their Inheritance they de-
cided al once to leave this simple life
and come to our city and buy things
that were up to date They wanted
the latest styles. They were guests
at my home while purchasing these
modern things, as they termed them.
My household was much upset during
the period that they were with US and
making these vast expenditures. Dur
ing this sojourn we did not have to go
out for entertainment, for we had a
continuous performance at the home
every day.
My family tried to advise the girls
with old fashioned wisdom in regard to
buying sensible apparel. but without
avail. Many times we were told that
we were very much behind the times,
and an expression often used by these
girls was decidedly antiquated." They
returned to their home early In the au-
tumn with load of the most APP

the natives. Since returning to their
home both have been laid up with a
serious Illness, which was caused by
trying TO follow fashions to which they

The Racing Season Ended.

When the Empire City meeting
closed on Saturday last the racing
season so far as this State is con-
cerned was ended for the year. A
few hunt meetings on Long Island,
the most notable at Belmont Park on
election day. and one or two in New
Jersey, together with a single days
racing in Westchester county, will
keep alive the sporting spirit of the
amateurs until snow flies. But prac-
tically the thoroughbred bade adieu
to his admirers till next spring with
the close of racing at the Empire
City track.
IL was a remarkable season in sew
cral respects. Widespread attacks of
illness in the early spring kept many
good horses from filling their engage
ments in May, June and July. Acct
dents incidental to the sport pre-
vented others from showing their
quality till late fin the season.
Some OF the best two-year-olds
we're handicapped by illness, but their
appearance from time to time in Au-
gust. September and October gave
added interest to a situation which
has had no parallel in the history OF
the turf for many years. There is no
decided champion among the two
year-olds. Sally's Alley, Zev. Dunlin,
Goshawk, Enchantment, Bud Lerner,
Martingale, Donjes, Cherry Pie, Mes

the close of the season Cyclops and

Governor MILLER goes straight to
the heart of every public issue and
then handles it with downright hon
esty and nothing but downright hon
esty. 1t is in this way that he ex-
poses the sham and humbug of the
State Democratic platform on light
wines and beer when he says:
''rhe alluring hope is held out by
the Democratic platform and by the
Democratic candidate for Governor
that IL he is elected the people can
have light wines and beer.
"He knows. you know, and every
intelligent citizen knows that whether
he is elected Governor or whether l
am elected can have no influence
whatever. upon that question; that
the Governor Of this State and the
Legislature of this State cannot. II
they would. give the people OF this
State light wines and beer. Every one
United states and the act of the Con-
gress Of the United States are su-
prene over anything which the state
OF New York migt. or could do
AS matter of fact, Governor Mil
LER himself is so little in sympathy
with the prohibition principle that
when the Prohibition party offered to
put him at the head of its ticket he
-sras=z TO ,e- hts name go there. He
told the Prohibition leaders frankly
that he was opposed to their doctrine.
He was enforcing the national dry
laws to the best of his ability, not be-
cause he liked those laws but because
IL was his duty so to enforce them as
long as he was the Governor of the
State of New York, as it would be the
duty of any other Governor. And un-
der those circumstances he refused to
let his name appear on the Prohibi-
tion ticket, although that would mean
tens of thousands of dry votes for
take Prohibition votes under false
pretenses.
In the same way Governor MILLER
stands up in New York city and tells
the truth to the vets. No matter what
he thinks about national prohibition,
no matter what he might like to do
to modify conditions which he per-
sonally does nob approve, he could
not as Governor change the national
Constitution and the national laws
one iota to modify those conditions,
and he is not willing to get tho vote
OF anybody in the State on the false
pretense that he could.
And as for the Democratic wet
platform and anybody that stands on
the Democratic wet platform, Cover
nor MILLER declares.
sNeither an act Of the Legislature.
an amendment OF our State Consti-
tuition hor any referendum TO the peo-
pie OF this State could affect the situ-
alton in the slightest, or amount TO as
much as a gesture, and the man who
is seeking votes on the pretense that
It would, merely insults the intelli-
gence Of those to whom that appeal
is made"
Honesty in the capacity OF Chief
Executive. honesty in the capacity of
the candidate for reelection, honesty
in all things, courage in all things
that is the man who is telling the
truth to the voters OF New York city
in this last week OF his open, and
aboveboard campaign.
