AND MAYOR MET MITTEN,

TUB Amtfa&ION.
The questions which led to Mr. Twin
Ins's confession follow:
Trainer "We nro now comliip to the
erlous Part of this intention nm '" U.:

atlon that the ? nucrt M re

Twlnlns-Yes, once. I mot . 1th 'he
Mayor, Mr. Mitten, president of the Phi -Bdeliihlft
ltapld TrniifU 'nmtinny. ami
Mr. Drum. (Mr. Pruin m engineer of
the Philadelphia ltapld Transit.)
Trainer Mr. Director, where was that
meeting' held ? ,
Twining I don't remember. It may
have been In tho Mayor's ""l:e. ,.
Trainer As a matter of fact, '
.that meetlnit held In Mr. Mitten's room In
'tho Itellevue-Stratford?
TwInltiB Yes, 1 believe It was. but one
of the meetings was held In the Mayor's
"mCe' JIUI.D TWO MIJtJTINQS
Trainer Oh, then theio were twi meet'
Inns Was It at those moethiKS that the
nuestlon of ehntiRlnit the ntnt.ot.s under
tho City Hnll was discussed?
TwInliiK t believe we talked over
whether or not the Market street subway
should run under nty Hall.
At this juncture Councilman heRerijaa.
"Mr. Director, did the Public Service
Commission make nny objections to dan
ger under City Hall? ,
TwInlnR-t suppose not. They Issued
"'fje'ae'r Why. If you believed the run
nine under the City Hall was dangerous
did you not oppose It?
Twining Why should any one oppose
It when tho head of the department Is for
It. (He was referring to Taylor.)
Seger I can't see why you. as a con
sulting engineer, allowed a contract to o
let without notifying the Mayor as to the
danger. I take for granted no engineer,
no matter who his director was, would
overlook such a thing.
Twining I told Director Taylor there
was not much doubt that It could bo put
under the City Hall, but that It was no
ulaco for It. I would never plan to put
the subway under the City Hull. I guess
I took orders.
Trainer Mr. Director, the same thing
would apply to the commission; all of you
tnen aro under the Mayor.
Twining No, I don't think that It H the
paraot the commission was requested by
tho Mayor and was not nn obligation.
Councilman Tralnor now questioned Mr.
Twining again:
"Director," ho said, "you made no writ
ten objection to tho plan to run the sub
way under tho City Hnll."
Twining No.
Trainer From tho November election
and tho day of Mayor Smith's Inauguration
or the day of your appointment did you
talk with tho Mayor on tho transit plan?
rriuinlnn- I mot tho Mnvor In tho mid
dle of November. Ho asked mc If I would
. . . u 1.1 u.1 T notfnil lllrt '
consider mo uircciormnii, uuu
In reply: "Havo you committed yourself
to tho Taylor plan so that I could not sug
gest changes? If I am tied to ceitaln
features of that plan I don't want the
place." Tho Mayor replied that he was
not committed to any plan.
Select Councilman Harry Trainer forced
tho Mayor to admit that tho bond for Me
Nichol's Keystone State Construction
Company, to tho contract which was
awarded for the City Hall work, was pro
vided through the Thomas n. Smith Com
pany. Trainer asked Director Twining
"If the contractor fell down on tho job,
would not tho surety company bo llablo?"
Smith said It would.
"What surety company went on the con
tractor's bond?" Mr. Trnlner first asked.
( can't tell you." Director Twining
answered. "I did not hring a copy of
tho contract with inc."
Tho Mayor jumped to his feet.
"Mr. Trainer." ho said, "almost every

surety company that Is qualified to do
business In this city went on that bond."
Tralnor What was the amount of tho
contract?
Twining Approximately $1,700,000.
Trainer How long ago was It awarded?
Mayor Smith 1 think It was laxt Sep
tember. Trainer When was tho bond Issued?
Twining I think it was In Soptember.
Trnlner Did the National Surety Coin,
pany underwrite tho bond?
Mayor Smith The National Surety
Company and live or six other companies
underwrote tho bond, but I had resigned
, from tho National Surety Company.
Trainer When did you resign?
Mayor Smith Last September.
Mayor Smith Last September, but re
gardless of when 1 res'gncd. I want to say
thnt I had nothing to C- with the contract.
. Trainer Who iindd wrote tho bond? I
think it wa3 all underwritten by the same
company?
Mayor Smith Yes, by the Thomas B.
Smith Company.
Trainer I knew that.
Mayor Smith It Is tho same place as
your company Is bonded. Mr. Trainer.
Trainer Yea, and we get good satis
faction. SEOER AND LENNON RESOLUTIONS.

afternoon. Councilman Seger passed
around copies of tho .amendment which
ho proposed to Introduce. Chairman Gaff
ney. In formally opening the meeting, de
clared that the city Is not bound to -the
Taylor plan an more than to the Twining
plan. , ,
"This committee Is interested in two
things." ho said, "the amount that Is to
be provided for transit and just where
I that amount may be spent. There should

'Thero has been notning ueiore mo ri-

You sit hero as n Jury to make the proper
recommendations.
SIAYOli'S STATB.MKNT.
Ha then called upon tho Mayor,
who
arose and tald:
Mr. Chairman and members of the
Fiunuco Committee:
Notwithstanding the publicity given
the transit problem during the last
few days tiiere has been no encour
agreement In favor of the Twining
plan. On the other hand, no objec
tions have been offered to the Taylor
plan.
Under tho circumstances there can
be no misunderstanding or doubt as to
what the people want. I therefore ask
this committee to include In the loan
bill nn amount of sufficient size to
complete ull the lines proposed under
the Taylor plan
As to tho City Hall fctal -n, I am
unalterably opposed to It. It presents
a grave engineering problem, and the
commibslon appointed by me to study
the problem has recommended the re
moval of the station from under City
Hall.

EVENING LEDGER PHILADELPHIA MONDAY, APRIL' 3,
AND MAYOR TAJEI
I havo complete confidence In Mr.
Twining. Ho was recommended by
Mr. Taylor nnd others as one of the
most cap.iblo engineers In tho coun
try. Even Mr. Twining Is opposed
li the City Hnll station. I havo now
called your nttcntlon to my reasons.
It now rests with you
Mr. Lennon Jumped to his feel as soon
as the Mayor had roncludcd his address
and offered his amendment.
"Don't vnu think." he exclaimed, "that
J It would be only fair to provide copies for
ovety member of tho committee beforo
Introducing the nmen-'ment? I don't think
It Is sufficient for a clerk merely to rend
It. Every one should bo given opportunity
to digest It."
"There nro not enough to go around."
I replied Mr. Lennon. "In tho old days we
1 had many Intricate problems rean uy mu
clerk I nm not In this question for prac
tical politics, but for the best interests of
I thH whole city not only South Phllndel-
i phla. I think a slow reading of the
amendment amply sufficient. As far ns
I mv umendment Is concerned every section
of tho city is cared for. Every amount
' ineellltd Is earmarked so It cilinot be di
verted, or. In plainer words, stolen for
another purpose."
What copies of the amendment weio on
hand vvcro distributed.
Director Twining. In continuing his de
fense of his opinion that tho Island sta
tion should not be built under City Hnll.
said that theio Is not moro uniformity
among engineers than nmong doctors.
"Different engineers render dirfeient
opinions sometimes on the same subject."
he exclaimed. "Wo had no available In
formation ns to conditions under City
Hull. The drawings for tln subway did
nut show tho foundations for the hall.
"The data on that point was very meagre,
t do not think that nny Individual should
be held responsible for the opinions of
nny firm of engineers, t wilt state my
sldo of the case, but 1 don't care to pa33
upon the opinion of others. You had bet
in Mil on Ford. Bacon & Davis for that."
Mr. Secer said that Ford. Bacon is.
I Dnvls, with their great reputation as engi-
I liners, owed a special duty to tho citizens
of Philadelphia; that they should havo In
formed the Mayor and Councils as jo con
ditions. "They must know that If any danger
exists now It existed then." he said em
phatically. "They should have Investi
gated more thoroughly. It Is a very funny
thing for ti lirm like Ford, Bacon &
Dav Is."
Chairman Oaffncy asked Director Twin
ing If nny pressure was brought on him
us to whnt he should leport on conditions
under City Hnll. Tho Director replied In
the negative, saying that ho was simply
asked to tako tho engineers under City
Hall nnd to make a report.
! Mr. Trainer then Inquired
I "Before you made your Investigation,
had not the Mnygr already deciaren Him
self against tho Inland stallonT'
Twining I don't know whether he had
or not. I saw statements In tho papers,
' but I don't know if they were true.
Chairman Cnffncy Did the Jlayor in
dicate what ho wanted you to find?
Twining No. '
RISK UNDEIt HALL.
Chester E. Albright, chief of tho Bu
reau of Surveys and one of tho engineers
who examined the City Hall foundations,
made a very excited speech, in which ho
declared that It would be possiblo to build
four tracks under City Hall, but that It
would be at a great risk and a great cost
Mr. Seger Interrupted him. "So you say
It could be done at great expense?"
Albilght "In order to put four tracks
under City Hall you would have to shoro
up a loose pile of stone 12 feet thick and
you would havo to take away tho founda
tion and build another foundation I don't
bellevo that the thing could bo done with
the plans now before tho people."
Mr. Seger again interrupted -uui you
nay it can bo done?" ho insisted.
Albright "Yes. It might be done In tho
way that tho man went over Niagara
Falls In a barrel. Ho went over, all
right."
Director Twining then said that he op
poses tho Taylor loop because It would
causa congestion.
"Would not your proposed station at
Arch street be of benefit to the traction
company?" nsked Mr. Tialner. "It might
become Jjio duty of the Public Service
Commission to order free transfers be
tween tho Broad street subway and the
Mniket street subwny.
"The Arch street station would not pro
vide for thd proper transfer between these
lines. That's tho reason why I think
that homo Influence is at work to shift tho
station from under City Hall to Arch
street."

the rebuilding of all of Its stations In
order to nccommodate longer trains.
Mr. Trainer then resumed his discus
sion of the City Station. Ho asked Di
rector Twining;
"Did you not suy It would be dangerous
to build a station under the City Hall?"
"I did not say It would be dangerous."
the Director replied. "I said there was
nn element of risk. I would rather try
to underpin the Pyramids of Egypt than
this building."
Mr. Trnlner then asked the Director
If the Wnldorf-Astorln and the Washing
ton Monument had not been underpinned
without nny danger, for engineering work
that wan not considered extraordinary.
The Director Insisted that tho character
of the work was entirely different, nnd
was then nsked by Mr. Trainer:
"What does the Pennsylvania Hnllrond
sulnvny referred to in your plans incnii7
"They are planning to bring tracks un
derground down Broad street," the Di
rector replied.
"In thnt why you proposed to shunt two
hacks down Hldgo avenue?" r.tr. Trainer
asked.
Director Twining then called attention
to the fact that the pioposed Pennsylvania
Itallroad subwny was taken into con
sideration In the Taylor plan. Council
man Seger tlir.ii asked for permission
to question Director Twining
He called the Director's attention to
page ill of the Twining report, where,
under the title, "Objections to tho Lines
mid Locutions Pnder City Hall." 11 said:
For liability of damage to City Hnll.
.Mr. Seger then Mild.
"In the EVENi.s'ti Lnniien of March 31,
which was last Friday, you vvcro quoted
Mr. Twining, as admitting that the pio
posed Taylor station could be built under
City Hull."
Mr Soger then read tho Evknino i
Lr.miKH nrtlclc referred to and continued; i
"Were you quoted correctly?
"Not exactly." the Director replied
"What I did say was that ;t was not Im
possible." "lou acknowledge then thnt It could
bo built?"
"t did not say that It could." tho Di
rector icplled: "I said that It probably
could. What can be done Is Inrgely a
question of time and money In enses'such
ns this."
A lively tilt followed between tho Vnre
Smlth nnd Penrose-McN'Ichol foiccs over
the Seger and Lennon nmendinents. Se
lect Councilman Turner said: "If I were
chairman t would rule that tho Seger
amendment be given the precedent over tho
Lennon nmendment." Chairman Oaffncy i
..it.ll.wl !., f. k..nH t....l n..t.1 Hn.l.ln.-
about offering his amendment, but simply
said he would distribute copies of tho
amendment to give tho members of tho
committee an opportunity to read It care
fully. Tho Soger amendment won n reading.
Immediately after tho reading Director
Twining camo to the front of tho chnmbcr
nnd staled that ho was open to questions.
Ho was placed upon tho grill by Mr.
Trainer, who asked him pointed ques
tions concerning tho printing of the Twin
ing report, and as to his actions during
the ubsenco of the Mayor In Ooorgla.
The first question fired by Mr. Trainer
at the Director was-

report nsked for while the Mayor was

"Yes." replied the Director.
"How many bld9?"
during tho cross-examination of Mr.
Twining. Mr. Trainer nsked what caused
the delay on the report.
"Wo had to make changes," replied
Mr. Twining.
Mr. Trainer then asked If he kept In
touch with the Mnvur whllo the latter
I was away.
"I did not even send him n postal card,"
I was Mr. Twlnlng's nnswer.
I "Who was the lowest bidder?"

I cross-examination with heat with the re
mark "We ought to slick to tho main

Tho Interrogator then asked Mr. Twin
ing If there was not a legal provision
which prohibited tho Director of Transit
from nullifying the net of citizens nnd City
Councils?
"Yes," replied Mr. Twining.
"Didn't the people vote last November
for the Frntikford elevated, the Broad
street subway and the City Hnll Island
station? Was not the legal stamp on
this pt.ttt, nnd all that time did not your
whole engineering force and surveyors
plan for something else for which there
Is no legal warrant?" persisted Mr
Tralnor.
"We had two engineers on the job."
replied Mr. Twining.

newspaper editor of his time and a multimillionaire.
