Taking a money to put into a Republican campaign fund is “raw,” but it is not all, or the worst, that the in- surance criminals have done, They took the policy-holders’ money for campaign contributions; for “yellow dog” funds to bribe Legislatures; for “subsidiary com- panies’ which milked the parent companies into their own buckets; for syndicate operations by which they profited; for equipping safe- deposit vaults rented to themselves below cost, and in a dozen other PE ry der te prceat tvs Da % roe St =e ler ws WLTRICT ATTARNEF GERAD tort ouicht to be ascertained.

Vreeland, President of the New York City Railroad: 3 Sérvice on the Canal street, the Madison and Chambers street and the Do- ~ lancey street roads is, to speak mildly, execrable. There has been no attempt what- | ever to maintain a schedule, which !s in itself a violation of the lav. ® ® * The | They reek with filth * * * and are In such a dilapidated condition generally as to) E ‘be a menace to health, Iife and limb, Be There is to be a public hearing to-morrow before the Raflroad Com- mission in this city. It concerns a population of half a million people— equal to a city like Munich or Madrid, living in transit conditions which} Mr. Ahearn’s words but faintly describe, The company’s defense is a confession and a plea for mercy. It says hat conditions are bad because the streeis are congested and it is impossible to run more cars. Then it proves its defense a lie by actually Tunning in » some cases 80 per cent. more cars than it did ten days earlier. If the com- many is rich enough to issue $108,000,000 of watered stocks with the In- ‘i rough, it is rich enough to give the east side better transit. a there is any remedy in their power the Railroad Commission should use it. BUILD BATTLE-SHIPS HERE, + Public-spirited men in Brooklyn are backing the demand of local labor | unions that the building of battle-ships in government yards should be + ‘continued. Their arguments are unanswerable. ° The Connecticut was laid down in the Brooklyn yard as a test of the claim that the government can build ships as quickly and cheaply as con-; > tractors, She met the test. The pace set in her construction made the! i ~ contractors for a rival ship hustle as government contractors had never ©. before hustled since the civil war. | The yards are too necessary to the government in case of war to be-| ‘come mere repair shops in time of peace. They should be used. i NIGHTSTICKC ard NOZZLE- A Romance of Menhetten by SEWARD W. HOPKINS et found t& out?” asked Lenox. known it right along." 0 have T, fg @ way.
