A NEW DEAL ON PORT CHESTER, | Bad faith is added to mystery !n the matter of Aldermanic dealing with the Port Chester Railroad's Spplication for a franchise enabling it to build across Gtreets in the Rronx. » Votes were obtained for the Westchester company’s franchise, two weoks ago, on the understanding that the other application would go through this week. Instead, the Port Chester petition, which {s the petition of the Bronx and of al! the interested towns on the line be has been reported adversely out of committee. Im circles where graphicality of expression and “the fmminence of results” are prized to the exclusion of | good reasons, this proceeding would be known tech- nically as “the double deal.” Perhaps we ara to believe ‘Phat such w metinod of doing business 1s exalted when Applied by men of high motive, decp tn the public Service, wishing to save the people from the machina- of a corporation that cannot “produce tbe money.” however, is not clear, What is plain ts that, Adequate reasons for the Port Chester opposition being long overdue, elther a persuasive batch of them should be tardily put on view, or “the captain,” still unseen, whould adopt less suggestive tactics, CONTRACTORS AND PUBLIC COMFORT, < What is the public comfort or health that a building | Gontractor should be mindful of it?

Hospital. Dust clouds so dense that they Bitnd the eyes of Lexington avenue motormen and ompel them to stop their cars for safety show this contempt carried to an exasperating extreme ‘The arrest of the offending contractors is not likely to deter others from pursuing the traditional policy of Imposing on the public discomforts which a little care, Say in this case an ordinary garden hose, would avert. But it may do some good as showing that these !m- positions are endured under protest and only tolerated because of a feeling of helplessness on the part of the direct gufferers, In this caso, If the sergeant of the Fast Sixty-seventh Street police station had not sent out to learn why the Jexington avenue cara were running irregularly even tila small recognition of public rights might aot have teen enforced. + “E DETECTIVE'S READY REVOLVER, At the Coroner's Inquest Into. the fatal shooting of V'illiam Daly by Detective Mefvoy, from whom he was tempting to escape, abundant evidence waa forthcom- leg that Daly wes “a very bad boy" who ought to have heen ip jail, but it seems had not been except for arrest on charges for which a conviction had not been yecured. Tt was not proved that the “suspicilour bundle* sontain- - ing blankets and clothing which he waa trying to pawn bad beon stolen. But granting that {t had and that the boy was a thief, the fact must be looked im the face, though the fury failed to do so, that for what was a minor offense at worst the youth suffered the law's severest penalty for a capital crime. The verdict exonerating bis slayer by {ts avoidance of 6!) censure or reprimand virtually countenances this act of Jite-taking by the detective and interentially by any other from whom a suspect may be seeking to eacape.
