There are no {more raucous moanings from city no more vitriolic denunciations. | Hard work has taken their plac The job of being mayor of New York is a killing o however, and Mayor James J. Walker, always a Slight, high-strung man, is beginning already to show the strain of his ef- forts to get the tangled municipal ma- chine into good running order again. Even so strong a man as form:r Mayor | Hylan felt it necessary to drop every thing from time to time and take both | Winter and Summer vacations. Quite often, too, he was in the hospital with Ivarious illne work had that much of a deleterious effeet upon a man of the nerveless qualities of Juhn F. Hylan it is e to see what it ms the finer fiber of “Jimmie" Harder Than Presidency. any observe have placed the New York mayoralty on a plane wi.h the presidency of the United States. As a matter of fact, there is far more arduous work for the mayor to do. The city government is so arranged that that mayor has a volce and a part in_virtually everything that is done. He sits in legislative as well as executive capacities. But_outside the regular duties of| his office, there are endless calls for | his presence a: luncheons, dinners, re- ceptions and other civic and private functions. New York is the gateway to Amer. ica. Prominent visitors to the country must be met and feted here befcre they on to Washington and o other cities of the hinterland. | Then, too, the laws of New York State are 80 arranged that the city can do scarcely anything without the consent of the powers that be at| Albany. Enabling legislation must be | | | i and Assembly. As New York City Is| mostly Democratic and as the Legis- | lature is mostly Republican, the task | is not always so easy. On Verge of Collapse. The mayor is reported to be on the verge of @ mervous collapse as a re- sult of the strenuous work he has been through during his brief term. In that time, however, he has worked wonders. He seems to have won the confidence and the support of all the people of the city, regardless of their politics and former affiliations. The | newspapers of the city are support- ing him in the same whole-hearted, nonpartisan spirit. A great, satisfied calm has settled over the city. All old signs proclaim- ing the undertakings and achieve- ments of Mayor Hylan have beén taken down or painted out. It cost ja lot of money to obliterate the | former mayor from the city's land- scape, but the people evidently are agreed that is it worth ft. Mayor Walker has not hesitated to £0 to Wall street or to attend a luncheon of the Bond Club, at which he said Wall street was a very neces- sary and desirable part of the Nation as well as of the city. The mayor {sald there were no more boundaries, ino more classes. When Mr. Hylan was mayor he thought that day lost | whose low descending sun failed to find him in a fury at the Wall street “gang” and “interests.”” The former mayor thrived on vituperation. The present mayor is asking always for co-operation, and it looks as though he would receive it. There has been no “wide open town" under the new regime. As a matter of fact, the laws against gambiing and other forms of vice ap- pear to be better inforced todav than for u long time. The new city government appears to be alert and to know how to deal with police situations. It does not close its eves and say that evil can- not exist “because I am mayor.” It admits all evil and attempts to deal with it in a sane, effective way. The new police commissioner, Mr, | McLaughlin, has caught the fancy of the people. He is taking all the police of the city from ‘“soft snap” assign- ments and is putting them back in uniform and on the streets. He is asking for more police and will get them. These extra police were denied the last administration hecause it was felt too many bluecoats were being used in private or semi-private work. Even the most casual visitor to New York can note the change which has | come over the city since January 1. ‘There is no more civic excitement and running around in circles. The at mosphere s one of straight business | accomplishment. New Yorkers are worred today only | about Mayor Walker's physical con- dition. The “boy” s giving his best to his job. Tmmmany is basking In the re- flected glory. - JUDGES’ SALARY RAISES APPROVED IN COMMITTEE House Judiciary Body Votes Favor- ably on Graham Bill to Aid Federal Jurists.

By the Associated Pre JACKSONVILLE, Fla., February 9. —State-wide search was started today for Charles Ponzi, former Boston financler, who was indicted by the county grand jury here yesterday when he failed to come to Jackson- ville from Tampa. Police watched ull trains In vain. Dispathes from Tampa, however, sald Ponzi's friends insmsted he had lett there for Jacksonville after talk- ing over the telephone last night with Mrs. Ponzi, who was reported to be in Jacksonville. The indictment was returned yes- erday by the Duval County grand jury while the *wizard” and his wife were in Tampa. Word came from Tampa that the Ponzis had taken a train for Jacksonville shortly before the indictments were made known. Early today he had not been taken into custody, although police have watched all incoming trains. The indictment also was directed against Mrs. Rosa Marya Ponzl, wife of the DBoston vizard"’; Calcedonia Alviti and Mrs. Emma Alvitl. Alviti and his wife are in Boston, where he is under bond pending an appeal of his conviction of violating the Bay ate blue sky laws.

Two changes in the highway plan of the Capital were recommended to the District Commissioners today by the city and park planning committee of the National Capitol Park Com- mission. The committee recommended that the proposed Cedar street as now laid |down on the highway plan between | Piney Branch road and Georgla ave- nue be abandoned. It was explained by Maj. Carey N. Brown. chairman of the committee, that this territory had t would be impracticable to cut the street througi. The committee also made recom- mendations for the preservation and widening of Bates road in the vicinity of Fort Totten. This road runs north from Alllson street between Rock and the Soldfers’ Home Cemetery. It was recommended that it be widened to 90 feet. The committee also had under con- sideration u proposal for construction of a circle at the intersection of Mili- tary and Rock Creek Ford roads. It was pointed out that this is the west- ern entrance of Rock Creek Park, and the placing of a circle there would make an attractive entrance to the! parkway as well as relieve a serious | traffic situation caused by a sharp turn in the road. The matter was referred to the District government and will be studied in the office of | the surveyor. e HOUSE APPROVES BATHING POOL BILL; CALENDAR CLEARED (Continued from First Page.) tration of the fund by a new board. | vals both lights now {1y, except during C., TUESDAY, Russia Claims More Iron Reserves Than All Rest of World By tha Associated Press.

The district is 300 miles south of Moscow, and the report said surveys extending over several years had placed the reserves in the northern zone of the district at between 18 and 20 billion metric tons of pure iron. At the Thir- teenth Stockholm Geological Con- gress, the report sald, the aggre- Eate reserves in America and Europe, excluding Kursk, were fig- ured at 10,070,000,000 metric tons. Prof. I M.
