THE POINT FOR THE PROBE. To-morrow the Senate Committee begins its investigation of the gas in this city. Chairman Stevens promises that the inquiry shall be tial and thorough, f The probe will never touch the heart of this scandal unless it brings answer to this question concerning Leader Murphy, of Tammany Hall: DOES HE GET IT? ‘Within a shorter time than Boss Croker required to rise from penury Affluence Leader Murphy has enrolled himself among the millionaires, World's persistent and unanswered question to the former boss: here did you get it, Mr. Croker?” finally drove him out of politics and exile, "The precise sources of some of Mr. Murphy's wealth are better under. ; d than were those which enriched Mr. Croker, They are apparently, ot to'say obviously, due to the same autocratic power over the city gov- " ‘emment, or certain branches of it, which his predecessor exercised. ‘The “connection between the Mayor's approval of the Gas Trpst’s Remsen bill and of the Oakley lighting agreement, and certain profitable contracts that were awarded to “Brother Jack's” Contracting and Trucking Company, is ff east a subject worthy of investigation, Likewise the hold-up of the bnsylvania tunnel contract, the Port Chester Railroad franchise and the for the connecting line in Brooklyn now up the sleeve of “Little Sullivan. | the inquiry can trace the relationship between Gas and Graft, be- Politics and Privilege, it may explain why our gas consumers are , why we have to go to Albany for relief—and generally don't ‘get d incidentally throw a flood of light on the questions as to Leader phy:; “Why Does He Ge' h MORE BUDDENSIEKS?

M. Lechtrocker, of the State Charities Department, has mpleted an investigation covering thirty-two. industrial schosts fa tan and thé Bronx. Of 10,707 pupils in attendance there he found 4 per cent., through poverty, went to school occasionally with- tt; that 40 per cent. showed by their condition that they were nourished, and that 74 per cent. had only coffee or tea and breakfast. Of the entire 10,707 only 1,855 had breakfasts more al than coffee and bread. what it means that 88 per cent. of these children should be fental-work without food ‘or with bad food. For coffee and bread food and inadequate riourlshment for growing boys and girls, $ are starved, how will their minds work? How can healthy ist citizens, physically and morally, be produced out of that kind al? j ino excuse at all to say that many of these children are underfed ‘of the ignorance, not absolute poverty, of their parents, Neither iit relieve the situation. There must be power in the Board of Educa- por in the community to right this wrong against growing children. / AN ABUSE OF PATIENCE, hen the strike occurred on the “L” roads and the Subway the submitted to untold discomforts and dangers uncomplain- felt that the :motormen were wrong in breaking their agree- th the company. it is the company which is disregarding its contract.
