In the meantime dared, was in the disfranchisement of . in _ j bose entirely unprepared for citizen- the number of mills ranging from 10.- 000 to 30,000 capacity which were erected in the year exceeds by far the number of large ones built. For in stance. in one east Texas county alone more than twenty of such small mills were put in operation and in another county there are something more than thirty of these small mills, not one of which will exceed 30,000 capacity per days. Ten thousand a day per mill Is a conservative estaimate for these mills, and allowing that there were run five (fays each week they "would give ship. The basic principle upon which the new Southern constitutions rest is that as fast as the negro citizens be come qualified by education, or prop erty, or both, for the franchise, they shall be endowed with It. Intelligent ar.d responsible minorities of negro voters thus introduced into Southern electorates could never menace, in the speaker's judgment, the political su premacy of a race endowed with a genius for domination. Along with a just and gradual bestowal of the for this one county a cut of 7,500,000 a f ranc hise should go an earnest effort year. There is a belt of country run- to advance the negro race through ning north through eastern Texas and pub]ic education.

In till'-, however, it found itself greatly mistaken, and the traction magnates, who got control of the nroperty, have been running things their own way ever since. . Various propositions have been ad- vanced to safe-guard the city's inter ests In the new susbways. but it does not seem likely that any of them will b.- adopted. One of the best of these reform plans was to have the new subways built and equipped In their entirety by the city and then to award to the lowest bidder contracts for op (rating the linos. Under such ■ ontrncts the city would collect its own fares from passengers and would pay the operating ompany a fixed charge for running the trains. Goodness knows tho city'of New York needs new subways and at once, for It Is growing at the rate of 350,000 a year. and. in regard to traction fa cilities. it is now Is like a big. fat boy wearing the clothes of his little broth er. In view of the many obstacles presented, however. there is grave question ns to when contracts for the now subways can be awarded, espec ially ns at least three different inter est? are waiting with legal sand-bags. In the ?hape of injunction proceedings, to hold up the contracts because of unfavorable provisions as soon as the bids are In. Allowing for all these delays and al lowing also for the time that will be required for construction work, it Is < ertnln to be three years before any new subway of any sort can he in operation nnd It is more than likely It will be twice that time. One section of the metropolis which now is undergoing a most radical change is along Park avenue from Sixtieth street to the Harlem river. The big terminal improvements of the New York Central Railroad are responsible for this, as the substitu tion of eleetrie power for steam in bringing trains through the Park avenue tunnel to Grand Central sta tion will mako It possible to cover completely all of the tracks now sunken in Park avenue. When the work is through a hand some and unbroken thoroughfare will ! he left, with no more sign of the pres- j once of trains than are to be found I now on the street surfaces over the j subway lines. From Sixtieth street south to Forty-second street avenue will be given over to the rail road terminal, hut north of Sixtieth street Park avenue soon will become a fine residential street like the same nv< tote Is today from Thirty-fourth to Fortieth streets. The rebuilding of the avenue from Sixtieth street north as a residential section already is well under way. Elihu Root, Secretary of State, re cently finished the construction of a I massive five-story house at the corner j of Seventy-first street, nnd rented it to I Paul Motion, president of the Equit able Life, for the time Mr. Root is in ( how circuitous, from the point where he hoards the car until he reaches his destination. Tho opinion. Is a sweeping one and upsets the equilibrium of the traction managers, who. of course, will carry the case to a still higher court, in hopes of knocking out the ruling _ already made. Under the decision a i man can use different car lines and transfer around three sides-of a rect angle if he desires. In fact, there | would be nothing to prevent the pas senger from completing a trip to en- I circle the entire town every' time he hoJrded a car, and this Is the feature I of which traction people strongly dis- [ approve. For a long time the traction com panies in New York have had things ! pretty much their own way and thev 1 wore able for many years’ to block the Inauguration of any transfer sys tem. Now the tables appear to be turned, and while this latest decision may in some respects be an injustice to the companies, the general public is making the most of Its opportunity to smile. The action of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies In withdrawing the special rates which for years have been In force between the stock exchange and like boards In this city and the principal business centers of the country, will make lit tle or no difference to the Wall street houses, which have leased wires, as their rates will not he affected. The action of the telegraph compa nies will, however, fall upon the cus tomers of the various brokers, who will be compelled to pay full commer cial rates on all orders and other dis patches which they send to their brok ers. The amount of business being carried on by Wail street firms over private wires Is enormous. For in stance. fully twenty wires between New York and Chicago are leased reg ularly by different firms. These wires each cost $16,000 a year, and each wire, In addition to the business of the first lessee, carries business from otijer brokerage houses which make individual arrangements with the firm controlling the wire. New York firms having New Or leans connections have to pav $36,000 a year for each wire while St. Louis and many points in the South are con nected at an annual expense of $25,000 for each wire. Outside of the regular stock houses former to the Copleys. Mrs. Wm. Thaw’s parents, and the latter to the Thaws. It is said that Mr. Jerome’s idea was to build up on the testimony of these two physicians the ground work for his application for a lunacy commission. The defense objected strenuously to the physicians taking the stand at this time, despite the fact that they were summoned from Pitts burg in behalf of the defendant. Mr. Jerome was so insistent that Drs. Dee- mar and _ Bingaman should be called that Justice Fitzgerald was led to inquire: “Are they your witnesses. Mr. District Attorney, or were they summoned by the defense?” Mr. Jerome replied that their testi mony was of such vital importance to the case that they might be his wit nesses if the defendant’s counsel were not willing to have them go upon the stand. Defense Changed Purpose. Some days ago Mr. Jerome was given permission to examine the two physicians in his office, the idea being that their testimony might he taken in the form of depositions. Evidentlv something occurred during the exami nation to cause the defense to take a new view of the matter. The District Attorney in insisting that the doctors be heard declared that it was neces sary for them to take the stand, be cause the introduction of depositions was not possible without the consent of the other side. In his anxiety to in troduce the testimony of the physi- sians last Thursday, the prosecutor went to the extent of declaring that he had reason to believe that {hey were about to depart from the juris diction of the court. He further de clared that under a decision of the New York Circuit Court of Appeals It was impossible to extradite wit nesses from another State. even though they had left the jurisdiction while under subpoena. Mr. Jerome all the while had the personal assurance of both Drs. Deemar and Bingaman that they would return at any time and he had full confidence In them, as he indicated later in the day when his stand threatened to cause the court to sit on Washington’s birthday and to day. It Is believed that Mr. Jerome’s anxiety to have the doctors testify at the earliest possible moment can have but one meaning—that their evidence has to do with the defendant’s state of mind, as shown through hereditary taints in both branches of his family. Earlier in the trial, before Mr. Jerome had examined the witnesses in person. westeitn Louisiana from the Gulf of ±a y lor mmuiim both iIexico far up into Arkansas which m Vndous benefit as a result of terri- will probably average 150 miles in torial expansion.

This estate controls large blocks of realty in all of the different business sec tions, nnd for years its managers re fused to gta-e long-term ground leases except on terms that were practically prohibitive. Now they have adopted a more liberal policy and there Is a decided boom In the construction of business buildings, at least a dozen of which are now going up in Fifth ave nue between Madison Square and Central Pnrk. Handsome big steel-framed office buildings, all the way from eight to fortv-six stori-s in height, are being built on Broadway from the Battery to Central Park, while east and west of Fifth avenue handsome old dwell ings are being torn down by the wholesale to make room for tenements, flat houses and apartment hotels rang ing from six to twelve stories in height. Builders estimate that fully $600.- 000,000 worth of new buildings are now being constructed on Manhattan Island alone.
