Show DAILY UTAH STATE JOURNAL, rfNEW YORK & & GrQ-C&ff- ttS LETTER f NEWS t NEW YORK. April 15. The email and Insignificant fire In the woodwork of the subway on Broadway and Vesey street disclosed an appalling lack of sound Judgment in the method of conducting the underground wires of the telegraph, telephone and messenger service companies, and. It Is to be hoped that It has taught the authorities In charge of the wire conduits a lesson. It seems almost Incredible that anybody supposed to be an expert In such matters would conduct such Important wire connections so carelessly that so slight an accident as a trifling fire in the woodwork of the subway would destroy those wires, and for more than a day pructlcully Isolate the principal business part of New York from the outside world. An, yet such was the case. The wires, which Included the main cables from and to the Western Union and Postal Telegraph headquarters, the telephone wires, the wires of the 'District Telegraph company and the gold ticker wires, had been installed in the subway conduit in such a careless manner and with so little protection, that a few minutes after the breaking out of the fire, which was caused by the explosion of a gasoline blower, every single wire was put out of commission. The main offices of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies were cut off completely, the connections with the call boxes of the District Telegraph company were interrupted, the telephone service all through the business part of the city was paralysed and the gold tickers were cut off and remained silent all day. That so trivial an'&ccident could cause such serious trouble could only be due to extreme Incompetency or negligence. . District Attorney Jerome has won a victory over the gamblers and his antigambling bill, which he had pushed with great energy, has been passed by the state legislature. It was slightly changed before It was passed, but, Mr. Jerome Is confident, that it will enable him to carry out with success hia plan of prosecuting the gaming house keepers of this city and to make it so hot and unpleasant for them that they seek other fields for their nefarious bust ness. It Is maintained that under the provisions of that new law Reggie Vanderbilt can be compelled to testify against Richard Canfield, who has hitherto escaped the law, because It was impossible to compel hla victims to testify against him. The gamblers' ring made desperate efforts to prevent the passage of the bill, and It la stated on good authority that over one hun fired thousand dollars were used to argue certain approachable members of the legislature Into opposing the mea-urIt la scarcely probable that the agent of the gambling ring brought any part of the hundred thousand dollars back when he returned from Troy to New York, but the Investment proved unprofitable. And thereby hangs a tale. It Is quite openly admitted that the bill would not have had a ghost of a chance hnd it not been for other powerful Influences. It e. is SHid that Governor Odell took special Interest in the bill and nmde a demand for Its passage. According to the story. Governor Odell desired the passage of the bill because it would oixn up an opportunity to square his account with the shipbuilding trust. It will be remembered that Governor Odell lost quite henvlly In the shipbuilding trust and it seems quite natural that he should long for a chance that would place the powers behind that trust In to his hands and enable hm to obtain valuable testimony against them. It Is believed that one of the first results of the passage of the bill will be the institution of proceedings against the shipbuilding trust, which promise tangible results, as under that law compulsion may be used to secure although all hope has not yet been given up. The action of the unions in flagrantly violating their agreement with the employers organisation, is strong ly condemned and the sympathies of the resjiectable classes are with the eleemployers. The more conservative ments among the strikers are not quite satisfied with the situation, but they are powerless against the leaders, who seem to have reasons of their own for forcing this strike upon the builders. The Immediate result of the strike Is the complete tying up of all building operations of Importance. The shutting down of building operations will naturally effect many other trades, allied to the building trades, and the probability Is that many thousands of men will be thrown out of employment by the unscrupulousness and stubbornness of the strikers.

From $8 to $30 WIVES The house owners of Greater New York have, for some reason, or without reason, which Is more probable, come to the unanimous conclusion that the rents charged at present are too low. The effect of that conclusion may he Imagined. Rents In all parts of the city have a vigorous tendency to go up. The tenants in the more prosperous districts growl at the Instability of the landlords, but they pay the higher rent, glad enough that the raise" was not greater. It Is different with the tenants In the districts of the poor. Many of the tenatns of the tenement house districts were barely able topay the rents heretofore charged, and when they were Informed that they would have to pay from ten to twenty-fiv- e per cent more they were appalled. Many refused to pay the Increase and were requested to vacate their premises. That, too, they refused to do. The consequence was that the landlords obtained writs of ejectment and never was the number of those writs obtained from the magistrates as enormous as this spring. Several thousand families have been dispossessed and thousands of those poor people are In a desperate position. It is feared that the strikes will greatly add to the misery among the poor of New York during the coming summer. AN 8AY3 HE YELLED. (New York World.)

Madame Janauschek, the veteran tragedienne, who for more than a generation delighted appreciative audiences In nearly every civilized county in the world by her masterly presentations of leading characters in classical plays, has formally applied to the Actors Fund for the privilege of spending the rest of her days in the Actors Home in Staten Island. Madame Janauschek, has the distinction of being the greatest actress who ever won success In two languages. She was as great a tragedienne In the German as she later was in the English language. For many years she was considered the brightest dramatic star and her Income waa enormous. Unfortunate investments and the proverbial Improvidence of great actresses effectively prevented the accumulation of a competency which would have kept her above want during the years of old age. Madame Janauschek Is now over seventy-fiv- e years old and her health la quite feeble. She is now living In the home of Dr. Kelly of Saratoga, who has been treating her during the last four years. The great actress la practically penniless. Only recently she was compelled to sell nearly all her remaining Jewelry and mementos of her brilliant stage career. It la quite certain that Madame Janauschek will be received by the Actors Home and will be relieved from all further care during the rest of her eventful life.
