But the most desperate fighters in the bitter feud which raged in Washington Market, and which led to the assassination of the poultry “ring’s” worst enemy, are now safe in custody. As witnesses in the Pearson Qssault case there is little doubt that they can be made to throw light on the killing of Baff. Already they have begun to talk. Any day for any hour may bring out the whole story. It is due the police to recognize the fact that they at least kept a vigilant eye on all these men and promptly put their hands on them at a moment's notice. It is now up to the District Attorney's office Ro extract from its round-up of witnesses the word that will clear up tthe Baff case. It is nearly a month since the murder. enn OER Bart Dunn and Joseph Fogarty, Tammany henehmen and hb Hiding a Xmas Package x:%thx., GET Away Quick | : DON'T OPEN Vwant 1 WY UMBRELLA highway grafters, are close to the door of the penitentiary, thanks to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, which | unanimously confirms their conviction in the Supreme Court, | Rockland County, last year. } Dunn built fake roads and charged the State top prices | Fogarty, as Supervisor of Roads for the Department of High- | ways, passed the slovenly work and O.

OS TO FLY OVER CITIES. » actign of the Aero Club of America in permitting expert aviators from now on to fly over cities is no doubt etriking proof of the progress made in practical flying. That it also brings plenty of new risks and perils into every-day Ufe goes without saying. The governors of the Aero Club are confident that the aeroplane will soon be used for transportation. The flying machine, they point wut, has now developed to a point where it can apeed a thousand miles @t a rate of 136 miles an hour, carrying loads up to a thousand pounds, And when scores of them scud over the city each day! We fhaven’t yet brought the licensed incompetents who maim and kill us swith automobiles to a sense of their responsibilities. How are we to Get any satisfaction out of the passing airman who drops a monkey wrench into the crowd in Madison Square or the touring gent whose five hundred pounds of steel cornered luggage slips its straps and @escends on us froma mile up? The Aero Club is no doubt eager to advance practical aviation. Ot promises to issue its licensos with care and caution. But are mil-| Hons of city dwellers to leave it to a club to aay who ehall fly over | them? ‘Tu hold war conditions responsible for the $50,000,000 rate increase granted the railroads by the Interstate Commerce Commission may be a good way to forestall grumbling og the part of the ic.

AND NOW “THE SAFE AND SANE XMAS” Ct greens, paper ornaments, inflammable tinsel and cotton “snow”—not to speak of moving picture machin introduced upon insured premises constitute an additional hazard which fire insurance policies do not contemplate. Local fire ters have sent a reminder to this effect to their New York holders. Inasmuch as the standard fire insurance policy stipulates that, unless otherwise specially provided, if the hazard is increased by any means within the control or knowledge of the insured the policy be- comes void, it is just that the public should be thus annually warned against exposing itself to serious misunderstanding and loss. After all, nobody’s Christmas need be spoiled because lighted can- les and tissue paper on Christmas trees are dangerous and likely to prove costly. There are plenty of ways to brighten up the tree with- out using naked lights. Non-inflammable tinsel and fireproof decor- tations can be had in abundance. Buy only these, use a little extra @are and common sense, and you can make Christmas festivitios sano without sacrificing the sparkle. ay ce ‘The thousand or more citizens who thoughtfully withdrew when five loose lions took charge of an uptown theatre the other afternoon are not a bit surprised to learn that the beasts were perfectly good natured.
