Snow in Streets Delays Firemen and Blaze Grows, A spectacular lire which broke oul about this morning totally destroyed the pattern shops of thu Peter Cooper Glue Works, tit Muspeth and Gardner avenues, und for a time threatened to consume the main building of the company. The Idazo was discovered by one of the night watchmen nnd iu addition to sounding the fire alarm, he telephoned to the police department as well as to lira headquarters. On account of the deeo snow and slush in the streets and thu distunce to be traveled, the building, a three-story frame structure, was well nbluse by the time thu apparatus arrived. A bucket brigade wag formed by employees of the works amL they kept the main factory building well welted lowii and so prevented the flumes taking hold there. Alter considerable work on the part of the lit omen the blaze was put under control, the damage being estimated nt 000.

Despite the Inclement weather, fair-sized nee was iu attendance.

J. William Haviland. president, presided. Announcement was made that the board's illuuer I his y.ear will take place on April 10. This date W'ns selected, suid Le Hoy Ross, chairman of the Dinner Comniltlee, because it is the date of the eighteenth anniversary ofthe organization.

The dinner will prolihblr be in the Montauk yiub. Mr. Rosa pointed out thnt the guest ami the speaker of the evening will be 'Mayor Mitchel, who has promised to speak on the improve-ment nf tho South Brooklyn wnterfront, and for the first tlmo outline his views on this important subject. Reports were read, and President HavJ. laud regretted his inability to have one of the members of the City Planning Committee addresn the meeting, but stated that, nn add rasa explaining the purposes and plans of the City Planning Committee to beautify Brooklyn will be given ut the next meeting of the board.

A communication was read last night from member of the organization, protesting against the B. It. T. service on the Seventh avenue Hue. He stated in his letter that Seveuth avenue cars, bearing Ihe sign "Seventh Avenue and Twentieth do not go that far, but slop at Ninth street and passengers are then requested to get out and "change cars." Time and time again, said the letter, no ear is hi sight and one hag to either wail perhaps half an hour or more or wnlk through the slush and snow.

This state of atfairs Kus been much in evidence the pust few days, said the writer. It was decided at last night's meeting write a letter of protest to the l'nblic Service Commission. i.eroy Koss, cliuirtnnn ot tne committee on Piers nnd Bridges, reported that his committee was co-operating with the Coniiniltee for the Jamaica Bay Improvement. Mr. Ross stated that he has prepared a resolution to the efftsot.

that "we join iu asking th vity nwthorities to combine with the State authorities in wiping out any technical objections." A matter of importance was brought before tho board by William P. Hamilton, chairman of the legislation Committee. It hud to do with heavy truck' age that passes through the streets between the hours of Kk p. m. and 7 m.

Mr: Hamilton stated that it was the purpose of his coniiniltee to read over a bill now in preparation by Alderman Stoven-son, prohibiting any truck weighing ovel li.lXH) pounds to pass through the street! between 10 o'clock in the evening and 7 o'clock iu (lie morning, unless they hnve: a special license to do so. Mr. Hamilton was of the opinion that the large and noisv lrneks. disttirbliiff the sleen of thousands of people, could just as well travel during the day and if a license was aiecessitry, the terrible nofse during the night would not be as great as it it lit present. Mr.

Ross uttneked the whole proposition pointing out that the milk trucks and trucks of builders must pass through the streets during the night and no legislation could prevent them. The Collector of Internal Revenue, William J. Mux- vs noielr uv wllllt ll IllottL'hl on tiie subject. "I WMiihl like to have nn ordinance pass prohibiting trucks of over a certain weight from using the streets altogether." said he. Ho pointed out that in many sections of the city, particularly iu tils section, Miuin isrooKiyn.

ine tremendous trucks with steel tires, not only do damage to tho celling, walls in the houses through the vibration caused, but lie hud known centerph'ces to fall down, causing a loss of much money through these many damages. Dr. .1. Francis Ward chairman of the (Vmmitlee on Health, read lengthy te-IHirt in which he uttneked the condition of (lie watering troughs throughout tho citv. He termed them unsanitary and attributed the cuitse of the spreading of diseases to th" filthy condition prevalent iu these troughs.

Ho stated that they are never cleaned and should he abolished entirely. The Board requested Dr. Ward to consult with the Alderman of the district regarding the matter. Alderman Stevenson, seen Inst night nn tho subject, stated that ho would look into the condl-Iknis as claimed to exist by Dr. Ward and will tiien take action on the matter.

THE BASEBALL TRAVELERS. Fandom welcomed home with outstretched arms and swelling hearts the baseball tourists who, under the management of Napoleon McGraw and Charlie Comiskey, the "Old Roman" of baseball, circled the globe, everywhere carrying American civilization as represented by the National game. The climax of the trip, successful from every point of view, was reached In London, where King George gave the game his patronage and personally assured McGraw that it was the best "sporting event he had ever attended, with the single exception of the Derby race, won by his father's horse, Minaru. A great deal has happened in the world of baseball since the tourists left the country. Where before there were only two major leagues, there are now three and tho rivalry for the services of the players has enormously boosted Professional baseball, as a career, is appealing more and more to our educated youth, and where formerly the college boy's fancy turned to the bar and medicine and the church, it now turns to baseball.

Take them, all In all, the professional ballplayers are a fine lot of men, the pick of American sinew and brawn, hut like everything that is precious In this world, they wither fast, as their playing days are over before they -reach forty. The harvest must be gathered quick and while the sun shines, and in the whole history of baseball It never shone so resplendently for the players, as just now when rival leagues, backed by unlimited millions, are bidding fabulous sums for their services. A Spanish toreador has nothing on an American professional ballplayer when It comes to raking in the long een. THE STORM IN THE BOARD OF ESTIMATE. The meeting of tho Board of Ksti-mata yesterday which found the five Borough Presidents arrayed against the Mayor and Controller over matters con cerning the internal administration of the borough governments, is in the nature of a warning to the Mayor and Controller not to carry their Ideas of centralization too far.

"The Citizen" believes that tho Controller, in his desire to rigidly scrutinize all borough projects that involve appropriations, is animated by the best motives, but, in our judgment, he is unnecessarily burdening himself1 with responsibilities which both the charter and the people in the various boroughs have committed to the elected Borough Presidents. This tendency to look too closely into the Internal administration ot the borough governments, on the part of officials not authorized by any conception of the dual system of government, which is the basis of the charter to do so, has even infoeted sub- jordlnatcs like the head of the newly boast of Squire Dunstan, that bis place tion to reform" than to prevention. But has never closed since the day it the futility of most attempts decisive of the question. No such majority as the bill received, in the Committee, could possibly have been ob- talned had there been any formidable opposition to it in any quarter. The prediction that on Its final passage In the House, the measure will be adopted by a majority of more than a hundred cannot be regarded as im probable.

What will happen in the Senate is, of course, a different question since the Democratic majority in that chamber Is only six, but even there the Indications forbid the fear that any mere narrow defection will be effective. Even If tho two or three Senators who have boen quoted as saying that they will not support the bill remain unchanged, the chances are many to one that enough Republican support will be given to insure success by a liberal margin. Thus far, at all events, there has been no disposition evinced on the Republican side to line up with the opposition, and the more the country is beard from the less will the leaders feel like sanctioning any such perform ance. All In all, therefore, it seems certain as matters stand that the legislation asked for will be granted within a very few days. How the press of the country stands on the question is already ascertained.

Practically there is no backing for the obstructionists in any important newspaper quarter. Democrats and Republicans alike In the press have shown, as they always do in such cases, that what patriotism combined with good sense requires of them, they can he depended upon to advocate energetically. The point, it should he observed, is not what ought to be done for the coastwise trade, apart from international complications, but what it become:) intelligent men to do in view of the President's address to Congress. Were it simply a question of granting or withholding the privilege of freo tolls from the trade, there would be no such unanimity as we now see exhibited. But this, every person endowed with common sense knows, is not f'n.

question. What has to be determined, is whether the President, as the exponent of the foreign policy of the country shall bo sustained in a -elation which he has frankly told the whole people will b. seriously compli- cated If bis advice is not adopted. There Is, we need hardly say, no Standing ground from this point of view, for any opponent who does not in effect propose to discredit the Admin istration in the sight of tho various! nations with whom it has been negotiating. The contention in some quarters' that men who voted for free tolls cannot now vote to abrogate the bill without stultifying themselves, is, we may add, too silly to impose upon any level-headed person.

The man who cannot see that there is no stultification Involved in waving an opinion on Biianf ftuestion, to meet new and i opened, was put in camphor. Imagine tho students of the Latin Quarter, if you can, after a fine old row In a Montmartre night restaurant, carrying their grievances to the Mayor. It makes us ashamed of cv" cftcmlnlzcd college youth. Returns already in indicate that the Federal revenues will amount to at least $50,000,000 annually from the Income, Tax. law, there having besn over 400,000 responses to the official invitation to "si ep up to the Captains office and settle," and a collection of over $40,000,000 to date.
