Curran Aldermanic Committee
Makes a Scathing Arraign
ment of New York’s Detec-
tive Bureau-
WEATHER BUREAU OFFICIAL PUTS
GREAT CREDENCE IN “SAYIN’S”
OF PROPHET OF VILLAGE STORE
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, June 9.—Scattering ar
raignment of the detective bureau of
the New York police department, and
a charge that a partnership exists be
tween some detectives and criminals,
are contained in the third section ot
the Curran committee report on police
conditions, submitted to the board oi
aldermen today. A brisa fight over the
report’s adoption was expected.
“Betijamln Levy,” says the report,
“who had never been convicted of a
crime, testified that at the request 01
officials in the detective bureau he had
ot'fen- induced criminals to commit bur
glary in order that they might be ar
rested. He was strongly corroborated
by reputable citizens, including an offi
cial of an insurance company, a mer
chant and others.
‘‘Levy testified that in one case Dep
uty Commissioner Dougherty, in charge
of the detective bureau, gave him $25'
with which to purchase ourglar tools,
and after he succeeded in ‘he burglary
pr.id him $75 for his services.
“City vouchers for these amounts in
Levy's favor were found ■ the comp
troller’s office.
“Deputy- Com-iissioner Dougherty
and others involved were subpoenaed
by us and asked to waive immunity
before giving their testimony. This
tlrey refused, with oiie exception, and
$- ey were not interrogated. Notwith
standing the shocking nature of this
testimony and the corroboration re
ceived, the commissioner has taken no
action whatever in the premises. It is
not surprising that under such lax dis
cipline some detectives turn thieves.”
In conclusion the report says the
bureau is hopelessly inefficient and
should be reorganized along drastic
lines.
Commissioner Dougherty issued a
statement this afternoon branding the
committee reports as “a sample of
malice and lies worthy of the trade tal
ent of a professional crook.” It was
too absurd to discuss in detail, he said.'

that Governor Sulzer was without legal

The effect of Justice Chester's decis

BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, June 9.—Scientists
in the weather bureau have oeen study
ing the weather proverbs, and have
come to the conclusion that many of
them have a degree of reliability that
is quite startling. Unlike tfce scientific
forecasts, however, these proverbs are
based • on local observations and apply
to local conditions.
The weather bureau has a horizon
that is as broad, as a continent, or even
the world, while the village forecaster,
depending on the sky, the sun, the moon,
the stars or the winds, has an outlook
no wider than the physical horizon
which shuts him in. Generations and
even centuries of experience have crys
tallized the observations of these vil
lage-to-village forecasters into the form
of the proverbs which are familiar to
the public at large, and given to a num
ber of them a degree of reliability that
is not to be questioned.
In many places, chiefly the rural
communities, it is impossible to get, in
time for use, either the official forecast
of the weather bureau, or the Weather
map accompanying it, and under these
conditions it is poitned out that certain
weather signs are of special value.
W. J. Humphreys, Ph. D., professor
of meteorogical physics in the weather
bureau, who has just contributed a
highly Interesting chapter to tJTe litera
ture of weather proverbs, notes the
crude but shrewd wisdom that is back
of many of them. He notes that deep
sea fishermen will weigh anchor and flee
from a gathering storm when to the
casual onlooker there is no sign of such
storm, and that the woodsman will note
significant changes and understand them
when the average man would be con
scious of no change.
“The prescience of these men,” says
Dr. Humphreys, "is phenomenal, “and
then he proceeds to a consideration of
some of the proverbs which go to
make up the wisdom on which such
people rely for guidance in weather
matters.
SOME OF THE PROVERBS.
Some of these proverbs attempt to
forecast conditions for an entire grow
ing season, and when they deal with
results rather than with types of
weather. Dr. Humphreys says they are
frequently rationally founded. Take,
for instance, this proverb:
\
' Frost year,
Fruit year.
Or to state it in another form:

Year of snow.
Fruit will grow;
Or put in still another form:
A year of snow, a year of plenty.
“That these ajid similar statements
are commonly true,” says Dr. Hum
phreys, “is evident from the fact that
a more or less continuous covering of
snow, incident to a cold winter, not
only delays the blossoming of fruit
trees till after the probable season of
killing frosts, but also prevents that
alternate thawing and freezing so ruin
ous to wheat and other winter grains.
In short, as anefther proverb puts it, ‘a
late spring never deceives.’
“A different class of proverbs, but
meaning practically the same thing,
and justified by substantially the same
fact—-that an unseasonably early
growth of vegetation is likely to be in
jured by later freezing—is illustrated
by the following:
“ ‘January warm, the Lord have mercy.'
PROVERBS OF SUN, MOON AND
^ STARS.
Another series of proverbs forecast
weather conditions from the appearance
of the sun, moon and stars and the
sky, and, like the proverbs forecasting
the seasons, some of them are built
upon the sure foundation of accurate
observation and correct reasoning. It
is with these latter that Dr. Hum
phreys deals. A familiar proverb of
this class is this:
A red sun has water in his eye.
Quantities of dust in a damp at
mosphere produce a “red sun,” or
smoke, if of sufficient quantities, will
do it. When the atmosphere is heavily
charged with dust particles that are
moisture-laden, we see the sun as a
fiery ball. This dust has much, to do
with rainfall, for it has been scientif
ically demonstrated that cloud par
ticles, and therefore rain, will not form,
ordinarily, in a dust-free atmosphere,
but will readily form when the at
mosphere is damp. A red sun there
fore commonly indicates the presence
of both the essential rain elements—
.dust and moisture.
■Bhere are many proverbs, some good
and usefl and others misleading, con
cerning the color of the sky at sunset
and sunrise. From Shakespeare are the
following lines:
“A red morn that ever yet betokened
Wreck to the seamen, tempest to the
field,
Sorrow to the shepherds, woe to the
birds,
Gusts and foul flaws to herdsmen and
to herds.”
But in many ways the most interest
ing of all these proverbs that have to
do with red sunrise and sunset, in the
judgment of Dr. Humphreys, is the one
which, according to the gospel of Mat
thew, Christ used in answer to the Phar
isees and Saducees when they asked Him
to show them a sign from heaven.
“He answered and said unto them.
When it is evening, ye say, It will
c fair weather: for the sky is red.
“And in the morning. It will be foul
weather today: for the sky is red and
lowering.”
“It will *be noticed,” comments Dr.
Humphreys, “that an evening red sky
:s here declared to indicate exactly the
opposite type of weather from that in-
licated by a morning red. This, how
ever, Is only an apparent contradiction,
for the origin of the red is not the
same in the two cases.”
If the evening sky low in the west, is
yellowish or greenish, or some other
short wave-length color, then look out
for clear weather, for these colors, says
I)r. Humphreys, indicate even less con
densation and therefore a dryer air than
does red. Hence, the following lines
from Shakespeare express a general
truth:
"The weary sun hath made a golden set,
And by the bright track of his fiery car
Gives token of a goodly tomorrow.”
But if the evening sky is gray, then
we may know that many water drops
are present, and that the dust particles
have become loaded with moisture,
MOON HAS SMALL EFFECT.
There are numerous proverbs based
on the assumption that the moon ap
preciably controls the weather, but sci
ence has proved them to be without re
liability. Beyond a very small tidal
effect on the atmosphere, as indicated
by the barometer, the moon has no ef
fect whatever on the weather, say the
scientists. The following proverb bears
out the scientific theory:
The moon and the weather
May change together;
But change of the moon
Does not change th6 weather.
If we’d no moon at all,
And that may seem strange,
We still should have weather
That’s subject to change.
However, as Dr. Humphreys observes,
the appearance of the moon depends
upon the conditions of the atmosphere,
and, therefore, provertjs based upon
phenomena of this nature are more or
less sound and have much value. Thus:
Clear moon,
Frost soon.
Moonlight nights have ..ie heaviest
frosts.
■i/roverbs ^f this class are true, be
cause on clearest nights the cooling of
the earth’s surface by radiation ii
greatest, and hence most likely to
cause, through the low temperature
reached, heavy dew or frost.
The interesting moon proverb—
Sharp horns do threaten windy weather,
is shown to have a scientific founda
tion. When the air is clear, bad seeing
is due to. atmospheric inequalities
which the free mixing caused by winds
will eliminate. Thus when the moon’s
horns appear sharp, that is, when the
seeing is good, we know that these ine
qualities do not exist, and the natural
Inference is that they have been
smoothed out by strong, overrunning
winds, which later may reach the sur
face of the earth.
The Star proverb—
When the stars begin to huddle,
The earth will soon become a puddle,
also has a scientific basis. In a mist
the smaller stars are not visible, and
the brighter ones shine dimly with a
blur, each looking like a confused clus
ter of stars. This gave rise, prior to
the ascertainments of science, that stars
can huddle together at one time—before
a rain—and be scattered asunder at an
other.
There are many proverbs based on the
direction and changes of the wind, but
their value mainly is local, except when
taken in connection with the readings
of the barometer.
The heighth, extent and shapes of the
clouds depend upon the humidity and
upon the temperature and motion of the
atmosphere, and consequently they often
furnish reliable warnings of the coming
weather. One proverb correctly says:
The higher the clouds, the finer the
weather.
High clouds are formed only at the
expense of much cooling, a*nd they con
tain little moisture. This proverb, how
ever, it is pointed out, must be restricted
to stratus and other of the more com
mon clouds. It does not apply to those
thin wispy or cirrus clouds, the highest
of all, that float from 5 to 8 miles above
sea level, for, as is well known:
Mackeral scales and mares’ tails
Make lofty ships carry low sails.
Part of the air that forms the strong
upward currents near the center of a
storm rises to great heights, where, in
middle latitudes, it gets into the swift
ly eastward-moving layers that carry it
and its ice particles far ahead of the
rains. There are other ways by which
such clouds can be formed, but that
just explained is one of the most com
mon, and as in this case they are only
the overrunning portion of a storm that
is coming on in the same general direc
tion, the proverb just quoted evidently
is well founded.
When the air is rather damp and the
day is warm, great cumulus or thunder-
head clouds are apt to form, as a re
sult of strong convention, and produce
frequent local showers. Hence the fol
lowing proverb:
When clouds appear like rocks and
towers,
The earth’s refreshed "by frequent
showers.
When the ’air is full, of moisture its
temperature tends rapidly to become
equalized, and the atmosphere is freed
from the innumerable temperature ir
regularities that prevail during dry
weather, and that strongly reflect and
dissipate sound. But when the air is
homogeneous, which is far more likely
to be when damp, it will convey sound
much better than when filled with in
equalities, and hence there is good rea
son to accept the proverb—
Sound traveling far and wide
A stonrmy day will betide.
Not only the hearing, but the seeing
also, is improved by the homogeneity
of the atmosphere; and this, too, has
appropriate proverbs, as for instance—
The farther the sight the nearer the
rain.
Decrease in atmospheric pressure and
increase of humidity have led to many
well founded proverbs. It is thus
stated that the approach of a storm is
marked by the rising of water in wells,
by the more abundant flow of certain
springs, by the bubbling of marshes,
by bad odors of ditches, etc., all of
which are due to that decrease of at
mospheric pressure which precedes
storms.
Increase of humidity, favorable to
precipitation, is noted by the gathering
of moisture of sold objects, the collec
tion of perspiration on our own bodies
owing to diminished evaporation, and
dampness of many hygroscopic sub
stances. This last effect is illustrated
by the packing of salt, the tightening
of cordage and of the strings of musical
instruments, the dull and damp appear
ance of stone walls and columns, the
settling of smoke -and similar phe
nomena. all of which have been made,
the subject of proverbs indicating a
gathering storm.
Dr. Humphreys winds? up his inter
esting discussion of weather proverbs
by saying that he hopes enough of tne
more reliable ones have been quoted to
Indicate their importance in those eases
where a weather service cannot take
the place of weather signs, meaning
the rural communities more or less
remote from railroad p.nd telegraph
stations.

Signature of.
BY BAZiPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 9.—The
next cabinet position to be created by
congress will be the secretary of pub
lic works. So say a number of promi
nent public men, who have been watch
ing with a good deal of interest the
trend of public sentiment in the United
States in favor of co-ordinating all the
federal public works, as is the rule
in France, Germany, Italy and other
countries in Europe, and placing them
in charge of a responsible executive de
partment.
The recent appointment of a com
mittee on good roads by the house of
representatives, it Is predicted. will
eventually lead to this proposed cab
inet position. It would not be surpris
ing if the matter should take definite
form next winter, in the regular ses
sion, and at the latest it will prob
ably not go beyond the long session
which will mark the middle of the Wil
son administration.
The campaign of education that will
follow the introduction of a bill will
probably run along for several years;
this has been the rule in the past; and
then the new department will be cre
ated.
THE DEPARTMENT’S JURISDIC
TION.
Following is a partial list of the
items that would naturally come under
tne Jurisdiction of such a department,
and whose growing importance will be
a powerful aid in the enactment of the
legislation.
The building of the Alaskan railways
by the government. The plan now is
to have the government do the work of
construction and issue the necessary
bonds. This work will require a num
ber of years for performance, and at
its completion the federal government
must have a bureau in order to main
tain a proper check upon the operations
of the lines. The cost of the Alaskan
railways will be approximately $40,-
000,000. Army engineers will do the
work. 1
The maintenance of the Panama canal.
It has been estimated that it will re
quire $5,000,000 a year to operate the
canal at a high standard of efficiency.
This charge will be perpetual. Under the
present arrangement, the war and navy
departments divide the responsibility of
the canal, and conflict of authority is
inevitable.
Public buildings. The average an
nual appropriation for new public build
ings is $15,000,000, and the work is done
under the supervision of the secretary
of the treasury, who is charged also
with the responsibility of the upkeep
of the buildings.
Army and navy departments construct
buildings to the value of about $5,000,-
000 a year, for various purposes con
nected -with their work. This construc
tion is now in chaf&e of departmental
bureaus.
Indian reservations. Each year hun
dreds of thousands of dollars are ex
pended in the construction of new build
ings of various kinds on Indian reserva
tions in the west. The work is done
now under the direction of the commis
sioner of Indian affairs.
Good roads. “And last, but by no
means least,” as the speiler at the cir
cus would say, there is the question of
good* roads. The creation of a good roads
committee by the house indicates that
it will be not a great while before con
gress will decide upon a policy of road
construction throughout the country, the
states assisting, with the federal gov
ernment in general charge of mainten
ance, for the sake of uniformity. It is
believed that the annual expenditure will
not be very.large at first, but members
of congress believe that in time the
appropriations will amount to $100,000,-
000 a year.
WILL CO-ORDINATE IMPROVE
MENTS
The purpose of the department of
public -works will be to co-ordinate all
of this construction work under one re
sponsible head. It Is sure to come, say
prominent men in both houses, and un
der favorable conditions it may come
before the end of Wilson’s first admin
istration. At the latest, they say, it will
come under that of his second adminis
tration. It may be added by way of
pa r enthesis that the impression is gen
eral in Washington that Wilson will suc
ceed himself.

19 OFFICIALS OF MINE
WORKERS ARE INDICTED
President White and Eight
een Others Accused
by Federal Jury
CHARLESTON, W. Va., June 9.—
President John P. White and eighteen
other officials of the United Mine Work
ers of America, were indicted in the
federal court here today on a charge of
violating the Sherman anti-trust law.
It is alleged the defendants conspired
with the coal operators of western Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois to
raise wages in the West Virginia coal
fields, so as to prevent their competi
tion with other states.
ESTABLISHES PRECEDENT.
It is said here that this case is the
first one in which officers of labor organ
izations have been indicted on charges of
having violated the Sherman anti-trust
law.
The indictments charge that the ninety
men engaged in a combination and con
spiracy in restraint of trade and com
merce.” The offense is said to have start
ed September 1, 1912, and continued
since.
It is charged that the indicted men
have been agents and members of “an
unincorporated voluntary organization of
Individual as a labor union known as
the United Mine Workers of America,
having many thousands of members who
unlawfully combined and conspired to
gether with the object and intent of un
ionizing and making membersof said or
ganization the laborers employed in and
around the coal mines of the state of
West Virginia in order that and with the
intent that said organization, by regulat
ing the wage to be paid to said labor
ers for their work, could and would fix
and control the price at which the coal
mined in the state of West Virginia could
compete with coal mined in the western
part of Pennsylvania and in the states
of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, in the mar
kets of the states of the United States
outside of West Virginia.”
SENATORS MAKE ISSUE
UPON INDIAN AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON, June 9.—Demands of
Senator Lane, of Washington, that the
Indian affairs committee of the senate
get complete statements as to how all
Indian funds are administered, betore
acting on the $10,000,000 Indian appro
priation bill now pending, opened up an
Indian fight that probably will be car
ried onto the floor of the senate.
Senator Lane proposes to ask the com
mittee Monday to authorize only tem
porary appropriations for the Indians
and to institute at once an investigation
of the Indian bureau.
Other committee members declared it
was impossible to get the detailed state
ment, and that the bill would, be recom
mended for passage early next week.
The Indian bill contains a provision for
a complete investigation of the Indian
bureau, the Indian service and the ad
ministration of all funds.
■ STILE! TD GET
POSTOFFIGE IN DUBLIN
Charge of "Vicious” Opposi
tion to Mr, Wilson Not Sus
tained Upon Inquiry
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, June 9.—While there
has been no official announcement by the
postoffice department, it is believed to
night that Vivian Stanley will be nom
inated for postmaster at Dublin on the
recommendation of Congressman Dudley
M. Hughes. It is understood 'that the
charges of “vicious and offensive” oppo
sition by Stanley to the nomination of
President Wilson at Baltimcre have not
been established, and that the depart
ment is inclined to respect the wishes of
Mr. Hughes.
When Stanley’s name was first pre
sented for the Dublin postofflee, it was
charged that he had been equally as
active and bitter in his fight on the
president as was Albert S. Hardy, at
Gainesville, whose activity cost him
that office. The department declined to
nominate him, pending a full investiga
tion of the charges.
Ed T. Brown, Walter P. Andrews and
William J. Harris, state chairman, who
were the Wilson leaders in Georgia,
are understood to have recommended
the nomination of Stanley, after making
a full investigation. It is stated that
they have examined the files of his pa
per, the Dublin Courier-Dispatch, with
care and have found nothing offensive.

Government Control of Nat
ural Resources Discussed
at Meeting Saturday
SALT LAKE CITY. Utah, June 9,~
Today’s sessions of the conference of
western governors were devoted main
ly to drafting an address to the public
outlining what changes were considered
advisable in government control of nat
ural resources in order to obtain the
highest efficiency.
Clay Tallman, commissioner of the
land office, was the first speaker.
“I am not here to defend,” he said,
”in fact, I am not going to try to de
fend the actions of the department In
the past. I am here as a construction
ist.”
Commissioner Tallman asked a series
of questions of the governors with a
view of ascertaining the exact changes
wanted. Especial attention was given
to the position of the United States for
est service, it being alleged by some of
the governors that the administration
of the service had discouraged mining
and prospecting.
Mr. Tallman said that as far as he
was concerned, if the prospector con
fined his work to actual prospecting

as Shade McIntosh acted on, according
to his story, wh&n he sought an inter

McIntosh was arrested on a charge
of drunkenness and was turned over to
Mullins, who treated him so kindly, he
said, that he resolved to confess to
him and allow his benefactor to claim
the reward. The man is said to have
killed Robert Murphy at Heidelburg,
near here, three weeks ago. When ar
rested for drunkenness he gave his
name as Frank Bagley.
