New York-London Police Comparison of the Two Forces. The comparison of New York and London police force made by Comnitesloner A. R. riper aa a result of bin Mult to London for the purpose of studying the police of that city brings out many points of superiority of one over the other. In Handling large gives a policeman .1 cirlnk he receives a black mark and a renewal of hla license Is refused. Commissioner Piper was much Impressed with the way the London police handle the The recent destruction of the Western Union Telegraph lines along the right-of-way of the Pennsylvania railroad lias a significance much deeper than aptnra on the surface. The origin and progress of the destructive war. the meaning of it and the ant Interests Involved are detailed by s staff correspondent of the Chicago Tribune In part as follows: The 'Western Union was not driven oft the Pennsylvania right-of-way merely be cause the railroad company preferred to do business with the Postal Telegraph company. The chopping down of poles and the destruction of the wires were retali atory acta pure and simple. The trouble dates back to the determination of George Gould to own his own railroad system be tween the Atlantic and Pacific slopes. The minute he succeeded In securing an en trance Into Pittsburg which city hitherto had been controlled exclusively by the Pennsylvania railroad he antagonised that great corporation, and thereupon began the battle between the giants. George Gould Is the controlling factor In the Western Union Telegraph company, and although that company had been In peaceable possession of the Pennsylvania right-of-way for fifty years or so, the rail road company ordered It removed, as It had a right to do under Its contract. This was nothing more nor less than an at tempt to punish Gould for seeking to divide the enormous business passing through and originating In the Smoky City at the Junction of the Allegheny and Monogahela rivers. Fight Centers In lMttatrg. Many Chicago people will be surprised to learn that Pittsburg claims to be, and pos sibly Is, the greatest freight center in the world, counting shipments In both direc tions. The'Pennsylvanla railroad for years owned the Pittsburg city council, body and breeches. It prevented any other rail road from reaching that city, and at the same time enjoyed extraordinary privt leges. For many years the Pennsylvania rail road has been unable to furnish facilities enough io handle the enormous freight traffic which passes through the city of Pittsburg. The Pennsylvania interests bought out the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, largely, If not entirely, to prevent Gould from having any share In this enormously profitable Pittsburg business. There has been one congestion after another in the Pittsburg freight yards, and the Pennsyl vania railroad, believing Itself master of the situation, recently decided to spend the extraordinary sum of 126.000,000 In Increas ing Its facilities In the Pittsburg district. Gould Starts the flattie. George Gould owns and absolutely con trols the Immense system Involving the net work of railroads reaching from the Ohio valley to the raciflc slope. Within that territory he could dictate price, but hla Wabash railroad system ended nowhere In particular to the eastward, and It was ab solutely essential to his position that he should reach the Atlantic seaboard by an independent line of his own. This he pro. ceeded to do by securing control of the Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad, which gave him an outlet for the Wabash to Mingo Junction, which Is only a Short distance from Pittsburg. The sympathies of the people of Pitts burg were with the Gould interests. They realized that It waa not healthy for their city In the long run to be under the abso lute control of a single railroad corpora. tlon, no matter how great, how liberal, and how progressive. - Pittsburg has re cently rescued Itself, temporarily at least, from a life of civic debauchery, and ona of the first results of this reform was an ordinance granting entrance and rlght-of way to the Gould road. By next August, If all goes well, the Wabash system will be In Pittsburg for Its freight traffic, and not lesa than six months later will be run ning passenger trains from the southwest to Pittsburg Itself. Gets Line to Baltimore. At the same time, when road building was begun from Mingo Junction to Pittsburg, Mr. Gould set about securing an independ ent line to - the southeast so aa to reach . tidewater at Baltimore. The old - Western Maryland railroad waa practically owned by the city of Baltimore. It had been built aa a check upon the Baltimore & Ohio, and when the latter road paaaed under control of the Pennsylvania crowd the people of : Baltimore naturally desired that their western Maryland road should not go Into the same combination and thus tie the city hand and foot, a Pittsburg had been tied under the domination of the Pennsylvania railroad. . Oeorge Gould happened along Just In time to take advantage of thl publto sentiment In Baltimore, JuBt aa he had become the beneficiary of a similar public sentiment In Pittsburg. Baltimore sold the Western Maryland road to Gould and thus he ac- their clothing. The police of London are on duty for eight hours per day.

London, however, ha twice the population of New York :ind over twice the area to police. The London police are much better officered than those on this aide, there being one noncommissioned offi cer to every seven or eight men, while In New York there is but one 10 nearlv ten patrolmen. In London 60 per cent of the force is ued at night snd 40 per cent Outing the day, while New York uses 60 per cent all the time. Another point whereby the London Politics, which play such a part In the police force of New York, are absent al most entirely from the portce of London. The commissioner 1 appointed practically for life, which, in Clmminslnner Piper's opinion, allows of the working out of re forms n a slow, but systematic manner without thought of a nearoy election that would cause matters to be hurried. The London police are very courteous, younger than those In New York, well In formed and Intelligent. They are appointed after civil service examinations, but the patrolmen are kept up to therr work lies In commissioner can select whomsoever he the fact that they are visited about five times during their tour by their superiors. On visit Is all the New York police le celve. Afler ihout twelve years of work the London police receive ft salary of 1720 a year. The New York men start at $800. A wishes of those that pass and can also drop without ceremony those whose records do not crme up to tho standard. At the nge of 55, after twenty years of service, the police man Is pensioned on half-pay. The London police do not drink aa much as those In New York and so are kept In better condl- sllght difference I made on account of the tlon and then, too, no free drinks are nl fact that the London patrolmen receive lowed them.

The merchants are not permitted to block the sidewalks with goods as is the case In New York, and the man on post must see to this under penalty of being dropped from the force. Heavy trucking, too, is not al lowed between 10 o'clock and 4. There is an esprit de corps among the police of London that prevents any wide spread corruption. If there is any bribe taking or rascality among the officers their fellow officers rind it out and report to the commissioner. The offenders are quickly gotten rid of without ceremony. The London method of handling the traffic Is now being tried at congested centers In New York nnd thus far the results have been most satisfactory. When the drivers become used to the method there Is nu rea son why there should be more confusion in New York than In London.

It needed only the West ern Vlrglnls road and the connection of that line with the Western Maryland by a new line easily constructed across the Poto mac valley. Galveston to Baltimore. Almost before the Pennsylvania Interests knew what was being done they found Oeorge Gould in possession of practically a complete line, which, with the Missouri Pa cific and Wabash as Its main trunk, was In a position to ship freight from Galveston to Baltimore, and at the same time, by con trol of the Penver & Rio Grande, to dic tate transcontinental freight ratea to the Pennsylvania people, to the Vanderbllta, to Hill, to Harrlman and to any other person who chose to mix In the game. George Gould has bought his railroads al most outright that Is to say, he own controlling Interest In each line, and Is not dependent upon the whims or upon the good nature of some Intangible and easily broken syndicate. In this way he Is practically Impregnable to direct assaults. He cannot be bought out. and the more the stock of his different railroads Is depressed the bet ter It suits him. because he Is then enabled to Increase his holding at reduced cost. Attack ti Western I'nlon. When Gould persuaded the people of Pittsburg to permit him to dig hi way through the smoke Into that city, and when he began hla building preparations from Mingo Junction, the Pennsylvania railroad began to show Its teeth. George Gould Is tho heaviest stockholder In the Western Union Telegraph company, which ran ita wires over the Pennsylvania railroad right- of-way. Curiously enough, the contract between the telegraph company and the railroad practically was the only one of Its kind which the Western Union company knows of.. It waa an old contract, and required the Western Union company to remove Its poles and wires upon six months' notice after the expiration of Its contract. The re lations between the two great corporations have been so cordial that the existence of this clause in the contract actually had been forgotten. In all other contracta be tween the telegraph company and the rail roads there are naturally provisions for the termination of the contract under certain conditions, but In no case Is the telegraph company actually required to remove Ha property Within a certain specified time. It was a rrfhtter of surprise to the tele graph offlctals. therefore, when a year ago they were notified that their contract with the Pennsylvania company would expire on a Specified day. They took It as a matter of course, and wrote the usual letter propos ing a renewal of the contract on the same old aatlsfactory term. Much to their sur prise an answer was received from the railroad company that It did not propose to rtnew the contract with the Western Union on any terms, and requiring the telegraph eompanV to remove all It property from the railroad right-of-way within six months. Gonld Is Not Frightened. It was a distinct threat from A. J. Cas satt to George Gould. It waa intended and was received as such. Gould declined to be frightened out of hla railroad projects, however, and went on building links and buying link. His operations were naturally hostile to the Pennsylvania, which had at enormous expense purchased control of the Baltimore 4 Ohio and tke Chesapeake & Ohio. In this extensive purchase the Vander- bllts were important factors. They were given a large block of stock in the Penn sylvanla road on favorable terms snd be came Joint purchasers with the Pennsyl vanla of the Baltimore & Ohio and Chesa, peake & .Ohio systems. The object was, of course, to secure a community of Interests between the eastern trunk lines, so aa to concentrate all eastern traffic In the United States in the hands of the Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania combination. It waa an amaslng prospect, and the one thing which stood In the way was George Gould. He was much In the way, how ever, and he had aome good men back of him, too. John D. Rockefeller has made more money in the Standard Oil company than he could possibly spend on the Chi cago university and similar educational enterprises. He found an outlet for hi surplus funds In railroad Investments. He Is head over heels Into the Gould system In the southwest. The result waa that when the Pennsylvania railroad attacked Gould It necessarily attacked Rockefeller, nd there has been witnessed recently i gigantic battle to death between the Penn sylvanla and the Vanderbilts on one side and George Gould and the powerful Rocke feller on the other. War on the Stock Market It was only natural that the Gould Inter eat should hit back at the Pennsylvania when that road took the extraordinary step not' only of ousting the Western Union from Us right-of-way, but of actually de. stroylng In a ruthless manner the property of the telegraph company. Tho Pennsyl vanla recently voted an additional 175.000, 000 worth of stock. That waa to be offered to other stockholder at an agreed rate of 120, although at the time thl figure waa proposed the market value of the stock was much greater. This sum of ITS, 000, 900 was Intended to provide tor the work of digging the tunnel under the Hudson liver and building an enormously expensive un derground terminal in the vicinity of Herald square In New York. The Gould Interests saw their chance and hammered the life out of Pennsylvania's securities until there was a drop from the neighbor hood of ISO down to 130. the price fixed for the subscription to the new issue. It waa a critical time for the Pennsylvania road because it needed the money and would have suffered great loss of prestige if it had failed to tost Ita new loan at the designated time. The road1, great as it Is, was forced to secure the service of an underwriting syndicate. Trace In Wall Street. This Is the situation up to date in one of the greatest railroad ware ever conducted by the mere power of money. There has been no rate cutting, but the loss of mil lions upon millions In the value of securi ties, and this loss was still going on until yesterday afternoon. An agreement has been reached, however, that there shall be no more fighting on the atock market. The Rockefellers are. In fact. Interested in the new Pennsylvania loan to some ex tent, and as Gould has secured his entrance Into Pittsburg and Baltimore there is noth ing much left for the Pennsylvania rond to do but to spend ita money on Improve ments and seek to get as much Pittsburg business and general transcontinental traffic as Its facilities will permit it to handle. The clash of the financial groups has been averted to a large extent, but the fight haa been transferred Into the open, and George Gould and A. J. Cassatt aca now engaged In a battle to secure control of the freight traffic from Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and Cincinnati to the Atlantic seaboard. It Is a clash of power ful railroad interests, such as this country has not seen for many a long day. Co far as the Western Union Telegraph company Is concerned, Its fight haa largely been transferred to the courts. If the Pennsylvania Railroad company was not justified In destroying the telegraph com pany's property It will have to pay for It. That Is a mere matter -f money and readily can be adjusted when the courts make a final decision. The Pennsylvania's action waa dictated by a desire to retaliate upon Gould, and to that extent it was a success, because in spite of the disclaimers of the telegraph officials It Is evident their service was seriously crippled by the sum mary ejectment from tho Pennsylvania right of way. The telegraph company has a. fifty-year contract with the Baltimore & Ohio and "that contract is renewable for another period of fifty years, so there is not likely to be any repetition of the attack of the railroad company on the Western Union. ' Greater Battle to Come. The next development will come when Mr. Gould' new line goes into actual op eration. He will not be Inclined to treat the Pennsylvania any too tenderly. He starts out with a tremendous advantage anyway, because he built Into Pittsburg at the urgent request of Andrew Carnegie, and the Gould line to the seaboard, as well as to the west. Is to be given every pound of freight Carnegie's steel companies can control. In this way It will be seen all sorts of gigantic interests have become Involved In this spectacular fight. George Gould, the largest Individual railroad owner today; John D. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil magnate, who once hung the Pennsyl vania scalp to his belt, years ago; Andrew Carnegie, the great Ironmaster and library builder, and 11,000 stockholders of the West ern Union company, are combined together to resist the claims of the Pennsylvania railroad, backed up by the Vanderbilt, that the territory from Ohio to the At lantic is sacred and not to be entered at any cost by competing railroads. The public gets out of all this a new line of railroad, and If In the fullness of time a great rate war breaks out between the two contending parties, as Is entirely probable. It will be the public who will be the gainer. PRATTLE OF TUB YOl XGSTERS. , Teacher Now, Johnny, can you tell me what causes darkness? Johnny The gas companies.
