BT LLOYD F. LONBKGAN. NEW YORK, May 17. (Special.) The appointment of John Purroy Mitchell as Collector of the Port of New York has been nailed with sat isfaction from all sides. His friends regard It as an Indorsement of his ad ministration as president of the Board of Aldermen, his opponents (some of them, at least) believe It eliminates Mm from the comingf Mayoralty con test. Among some of the politicians 'the Impression seems to be that Mr. Mit chell will not be eliminated from local politics, that he Is likely to run for Mayor, and. If successful, will attempt to depose Charles F. Murphy as head of the city Democracy. Mr. Mitchell makes It plain that he does not consider that his acceptance of the Collectorship bars him from as piring to the Mayoralty, and his friends say that he- will gladly accept the Fusion nomination if it is tendered to him. Slnrerlry Without Question. The president of the Board of Al dermen Is a man of high character, and during the time he was Acting Mayor he gave ample evidence of his ability and sincerity, his quick and ef fective "clean up" of Coney Island being a striking example. All of this is well known to the public and makes Mr. Mitchell a formidable opponent for Tammany Hall. Collector Loeb made a record dur ing his term of office, but there is lit tle doubt- that It will be equaled by Mr. Mitchell, whose high capacity for administrative service, his ability in organization and in attention to de tails, his convictions as to the stan dards of efficiency to be demanded of men receiving public pay, give promise of an excellent management of the Custom House. With Mitchell a popular favorite, and District Attorney Whitman looming up larger and larger on the political hor izon, the outlook for Tammany Hall is Indeed a gloomy one. The arrival of warm weather has brought the Sunday crowds to Coney Island, and with them, of course, the rowdies, who spend their time abusing passengers on train and streetcars and fighting among themselves. The "strong . arm" squads of plainclothes police have not yet been sent out, but their Influence will soon be felt, for they have been effective In the past. Magistrate Reynolds, of the Coney Island Court, recently served warning on 25 car rowdies, telling them that he Intended to do all he could to stop rowdyism on cars and that severe sen tences would be Imposed In future on those caught making nuisances of themselves In streecars. The magis trate either fined or held the culprits for iall. but did not carry his threat of severe punishment Into Immediate effect, contenting himself with warn ing them that future offences would be looked upon with far more severity. Children Fed for Three Cents. . . . Prices are high In New York restaur ants nowadays, as with cabarets, wait ers' strikes, etc., the proprietors have to charge more In order to cover added expenses. But the Women's Health Protective Association does not seem to care for the hapless plight of the Broadway throng, for while It Is busily going ahead with its plan to feed 2800 children in Public School No. 20. on Rlvlngton street, at 3 cents a meal. It has no Intention of starting a sim ilar place on Broadway, to compete with hostelries where soup alone costs 60 cents. The lunch planned for the school children will consist of a rich soup, two vegetables, crackers and a glass of milk. Children who cannot pay for the meal can earn it by acting as waiters. Mrs. Ralph Trautman, president of the association, stated that they hoped to open lunch bureaus In every school In New York where the poor congre gate dally, and that If It proves suc cessful the Board of Education will be asked to conduct the' enterprise. It Is understood that the lunch bu reaus will have no cabaret entertain ments and that food alone will be the attraction. The Police Department was surprised to learn that WInfred R. Sheehan, sec retary to Commissioner Waldo, has decided to go to Europe for a vacation. Mr. Shehan has been connected with the department for the past two years, and is considered the most powerful man next to Mr. Waldo. Mr. Sheehan has always been an energetic worker and It is said that need of rest is the reason for the vacation. Forest Conservation Proposed. A measure providing for the conser vation of the state's forests' has passed both houses, and awaits the Governor's signature, which it is said it will surely receive. The bill requires the filing of a lumber cutting and man agement plan by private companies operating in the Adirondacks in re turn for which a Just system of forest taxation is guaranteed to those who file such plans. The measure is de signed to insure the perpetuation of the Adirondack forests. In the past, private lumbering has been carried on regardless of the peo ple's Interests In the watersheds of the state, and It Is the purpose of this legislation to give the state some control over lumbering done by private companies, so that their work can be carried on without endangering the state's water supply. Public school lectures, which are now delivered in every section of the city, have attracted large audiences, and are gradually developing the schools, where the lectures are delivered, as social centers. Dr. Henry M. Leipziger, who has been supervisor of the system ever since Its Inauguration in 1889, spoke at the an nual dinner of the' New York Public Lecture Corps, and referred to the great growth of the system In the past 24 years. Dr. Leipziger said that before these lectures were instituted, the school buildings were used exclusively for Instructing children, but that now many of them were also used In the The Leonard Cleanable "Is the Best Combines, beauty, cleanliness and great durability. In no other refrigerator is there found such pronounced marks of superiority. The scientific twelve-wall construction, the beau tiful, ' snow-white, flawless porcelain lining, the removable "waste pipe and shelves, the unsurpassed cold air system, all point toward the perfect refrigerator. Don't Think of Buying Any Other at least until you have let us show you point by point the great superiority of the Leonard Cleanable. There are forty years of experience and a stiff guarantee back of every one. That is surely worth considering. Green 1 PXp !xrS Greei1 Trading ILP 19 StanindLiaall Stamps evening not only for the Instruction, bu Itir tho diversion of young and old Alike, where the public get the bene fits of good music, art and elevating literature. It is estimated that over 1,200,000. people attended public school lectures within the past year. Dr. Leipziger believes not only In continuing the work as It now is, but In extending it, and advocates utilizing the high schools for occasional concerts of good music, and thus endeavors to cultivate a pop ular taste for the right kind of songs and Instrumental music. 30UDAN COTTON DISCUSSED Capabilities of Region. Presented In House of Commons. LONDON, May 17. (Special.) A roseate picture of the cotton-growing capabilities of the Soudan was present, ed to the House of Commons this week by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Lloyd George was asking the House to agree to a resolution for guaranteeing the interest on a loan of $15.000, 000 to that country, and if he had heen draw, lng up a company prospectus he could not have splashed on brighter color with greater zest. Briefly, tho proposal Is that the Brit ish government shall guarantee the in terest at 34 per cent on a loan, which Is not to be raised all at once, and is to be devoted to Improving and devel oping the railways In tho Soudan, and to Irrigating and growing cotton upon certain large tracts of country, espe cially In the Ghazlrah Plain and near Tokar. The experts say that finer cot ton can be produced In these regions than anywhere in the whole world, that it is superior to the best Egyptian, and that it Is exactly tho sort of cotton which Lancashire requires for the fin est counts of yarn. There has been a marked falling off recently In the qual ity of Egyptian cotton, owing to the Inferior seed supplied to the smaller growers, and Lancashire would gladly take the whole crop that the Soudan can produce. Mr. Lloyd George said that Lord Kit chener was exceedingly sanguine as to the prospects of the scheme, and he then gave remarkable figures showing how rapidly the Soudan was recover ing Its old population, how the nomadic peoples were settling down to industry, and how the revenue had grown from $635,000 in 1899 to $7,120,000 last year, while the exports had Increased from $1,325,000 in 1906 to $7,000,000 in 1911. The guarantee of this Soudan loan ll a new experiment, and there was a certain amount of criticism some of It based on the ground that it was a measure of protection. But Lancashire members of both political parties gava It their hearty support, and the reso lution was agreed to without a divi sion.
