FRIDAY. JANUARY 14. 1910. 9 CROKER AGAIN MAKES POWER FELT Influence With Commissioner Waldo Very Great, Recent Orders Indicate. GETS FAVORITE CLERK BACK.

Opposing Autonomy of Fire ment in This Borough, Gets Control of Telegraph Bureau. With the advent of Commissioner Rhinelander Waldo, Fire Chief Croker is already making felt his return to power the Fire Department. Former Commissioner Hayes and the chief were constantly at odds. Mr. Hayes sought.

to preserve the autonomy of the management of the department in Brooklyn. Chief Croker opposed this policy vigorcame into office Croker seems to ously, but since Commissioner Malden gained his point. The trend of events in the department has impressed the uniformed members of the force with the idea that Croker intends to have a great deal to say in the management of the department. sioner Waldo apparently is very anxious to conciliate Chief Croker and readily accedes to his requests. Brooklyn and Queens experienced Croker's return to power at the beginning of this week when Commissioner Waldo transferred Saul J.

Rosenthal, a clerk in Deputy Chief Lally's office to the office of Chief Croker in Manhattan. Rosenthal had been the for principal until facto- the tum in Croker's office years Commissioner of Accounts started to shakeup the Fire Department. He handled all the details and the transfers in the department. In other words he prepared the list of the men who were transferred from time to time by the commissioner with the approval of the chief, which is a charter requirement. As soon as the investigation was completed Commissioner Hayes, who succeeded Francis J.

Lantry, received instructions from Mayor McClellan to transfer Rosenthal out of Chief Croker's office. The mayor never explained the reasons which caused him to issue this order in relation to a mere clerical subordinate in the department. Commissioner Hayes was just as reticent, with the exception that he said the good of the service demanded Mr. Rosenthal's removal from Manhattan. Croker was angry when Rosenthal was transferred, but he had to keep his anger 10 himself when he learned that the transfer was made by the direction of the mayor.

It was a long wait, but the declaration that Croker made that Rosenthal would come back to his office as the chief clerk with the advent of a new administration seems to have been realized. Rosenthal's return to Croker's office was among the first orders which Commissioner Waldo issued. Croker also got the new commissioner to place the telegraph bureau under the sole jurisdiction of the chief. The order applied to Brooklyn and Queens as well as the other boroughs. Deputy Commissioner O'Keeffe, it is understood.

stepped in and modified the order as far as it relates to Brooklyn and Queens by placing Chief Lally in charge in these two boroughs. During the past four years the Board of Estimate appropriated thousands of dollars to replace the worn out apparatus in Brooklyn and Queens. The apparatus was purchased, but it never went to these boroughs. Chief Croker kept all the new apparatus in Manhattan, and Brooklyn had to take some of the steam engines and hook and ladder trucks discarded in Manhattan.

The latest reports indicate that the Pan-American Railway is becoming more and more a fact, says the International Bureau of the American Republics. Various links in the long chain from the United States to the Argentine Republic and Chile are being joined together, and it is not an idle prediction that in ten or fifteen years it will be possible to make the journey from New York to Santiago, Buenos Ayre3 and Rio de Janeiro by rail as well as by sea.

D. Thompson, the outgoing ambassador of tho United States in Mexico, has purchased a controling interest in one Mexican road called the Pan-American Railway, running down through the southwestern section of Mexico into Guatemala. J. Selwin Tate, one of the leading bankers of Washington, in communicating with the director the bureau, 011 this project of Mr. Thompson's.

writes: "Mr. Thompson says he has made the purchase for himself, and that he will make the road (280 miles long) the best in Mexico. When a bridge--contemplated -is built across the Suchlate River, and twenty-five miles of road are built on the Guatemala side to connect. and when Mr. Thompson's million dollars worth of betterments are completed, then the old dream of Pullman service from Canada to Guatemala will be realized.

The road runs through a country which is very rich in a great variety of agricultural and penetrates a rich mineral section."

Woodward, Burr, Thomas and Rich, JJ. BREAKFAST FOODS ABROAD. Coffee, Chicory, and the Manufacture of Coffee Substitutes in Switzerland. In answer to an inquiry as to the imports and consumption of coffee and chicory, and the manufacture and market for substitute coffees, breakfast foods, in Switzerland, Consul General R. E.

Mansfield of Zurich, in a daily consular report, furnishes the following information: What are known in the United States as breakfast foods are not in the market in Switzerland. There is no demand for them, and attempts to introduce them in the Swiss market have not met with success. The people do not eat what is caled breakfast. The first meal in the morning consists of coffee and bread and butter. The people do not care for so-called breakfast foods and will not buy them.

The average annual consumption of coffee in Switzerland during the past three years has been about $2,500,000. Coffee drinking is general among all classes of people. This is especially true of the working classes, who drink coffee for "breakfast." again at 10 o'clock in the morning, for dinner as an afternoon refreshment, and many of them for supper, which makes the consumption very large in proportion to the population. The retail price of coffee ranges from 16 to 36 cents per pound, the average grade selling for 20 cents per pound; but the greater part of the coffee sold in the country is below the average grade, as the majority of the consumers are of the laboring class. The consumption of tea is not large, as compared with coffee.

The majority of people do not drink tea. While chocolate is consumed in large quantities in Switzerland, it is not much used as a beverage, the most of it being used as food. The value of chicory imported into Switzerland is about $500,000 annually. It is used as flavoring for coffee. Practically all of it comes from Belgium.

The retail price of chicory in this market ranges from 5 to 15 cents per pound, according to quality, the greatest consumption being in the cheaper qualities, for, as in the case of coffee, the work people 119e the greatest quantity of chicory. Inquiry leads to the belief that substitutes for coffee made from wheat, barley, malt, and molasses would not be a suecess, for the reason that such subhere, and the opinion expressed by stitutes are not known in the trade erg is that they would not sell.

There are some who believe, though the evidence seems against them, that certain of the wild dogs, like Australian dog dingo, ways hungry, dusty in the sun'-are versions to the wild state of a race once tame, just as the pariah dogs of various countries have traveled half the road toward becoming wild animals again, says the London Times. As one sees the dingo here in the gardens It looks not merely like a domesticated dog, but like a dog of a distinctly engaging and amicable kind.

The dingo's character belies its gentle looks. "Quarrelsome, sly, and treacherous." A11 Australian naturalist has called it. So sly it is that, according to Mr. Beddard (in "The Cambridge Natural History'), it feigns death "with such persistence that an individual has been known to be partly flayed before moving," and so treacherous that in the days when dingoes were more commonly kept a8 pets by the colonists than, A8 a result of bitter experience, is the case to-day, it W218 no unusual thing for the dog which had been brought up with every tenderness from puppyhood to turn suddenly on its master or mistress. or, what was more frequent, when left in temporary charge of an empty house, to seize the opportunity to raid the sheepfold or the poultry runs.

On such occasions It "ravens" even as the wolf, killing not to satisfy its hunger, but in the unrestrainable fury of a brute instinct. so that given time enough it will not leave one fowl or one sheep alive. That it does not need much time. moreover, is shown by the statement Thomas Ward that dingo in the course of a few hours has been known to destroy several score of sheep." For its fighting ability the same authority declares it to be a match for most domestic dogs of double its size, When wild it hunts in packs, which are said sometimes to include as many as 100 individuals, though from six to a dozen the common number; and the only Australian animal which it is uncertain the pack can ever pull down is.

Result of the Government Act for Small Holdings. Consul Joseph G. Stephens reports as follows from Plymouth on the British government effort to provide small farms for those desiring them in England: "It is officially declared that the small holdings act of 1908 has given a great stimulus to the provision of small holdings by private land owners direct. The result ol the first year's work for the country at large since the act came into operation has been that 23,285 applications have been received by county councils for 373,601 acres; that 13,202 applications have been approved provisionally as suitable; that the estimated quantity of land required for the suitable applicants is 185,098 acres; that 21,417 acres have been purchased, and 10,071 acres leased; that the land acquired will provide for about 1.500 of the applications, and that 504 of them were in actual possession of their holdings 011 December 31, 1908. "Out of the approved applicants about 34 per cent.

were agricultural laborers. It is estimated that at the end of September of this year not leas than 50,000 acres was obtained. But few of teh applicants desire to purchase their holdings. Out of 23,295 applications received during the year, oniy 659, Or 2.7 per expressed a desire to purchase. No doubt considerable land has been supplied by landowners direct, mainly through the intervention of county counoils, stimulated by the provisions of the act.

"During 1008 there were in Devon and Cornwall 722 applications for 12,271 acres. The councils purchased 440 acres and leased 129 acres. In the southwest of England there are large areas of crown lands, once under cultivation, but now neglected, that will doubtless be brought back in the near future to suitable and profitable husbandry the hands of the a Daily Consular Report, NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Have you ever. paused in the eager rush of business or in the pursuit of pleasure and heard re-echoing In the chambers of the soul the stern and awful interrogation.

"Why?" Why is it all? What for? Why? Oh, why? But there is an answer. Fate is feminine. If you listen with all your soul, agonizing to understand in the quiet and in the silence. you will get the reply, "Because." "Oh, fust because." -Minneapolis Journal..
