serted that Mr. Mitten hnd engaged n
large force of 'engineers nnd other ex
perts totaling 230 men to enrry on tho

"Mr Mitten renlrrd." he saw.
"that the cost of this must be paid
from current funds. He wns advised
thnt revenue required for current ope
ration could be obtnlned by filing n pe
tition for advance in fares.
"Such was the case with the Phila

tion of Its petition for nn advance."

WllllO III'',, IUIIKUI. i l ih .uiiiciiioii
to resign the portfolio of minister of
war In 1013, when a crisis arose over
the restoration of Taty du Clam, of
Dreyfus memory, to the army.
It has long been said thnt If Miller
and had not been forced to resign early
in the year nnmed France would have
been better prepared when war came In
1014, for Millerand was nn ndvocnte of
prr.iarcdness. He nlwnys lind main
tained that preparation for war was
tiie aim n wnr minister must always
have before Ills eyes, "We must fore
see the worst," was his watchword.
Doubtless It was this motto thnt com
mended him to Clcmenceiiu, when the
latter took chnrgc of Franco' desper
ate cause in the -fall of 1017.
After tho armistice and the restorn-
Hon to Franco nf her "lost provinces
France, to show her attitude in tho mut
ter, chose Millerand to govern Alsace
Lorraine, He was known to be a
hater of things Prussian, nnd quickly
under his direction the Gcrmnnli'.rd In
dustries of tho reconquered teiritory
were being converted into a part of the
French -system.
Millerand is n Parisian bv birth. He
first saw the light in 18.10. and nfer his
education at the Lycr7 Vnnvirs and the
Lycee Henry IV nnd nt the University
he took up the practice of law in 1SS1,
and gained distinction ns an ndvocnte.
He was counsel for the striking miners
of .Montoeaii-lcs-Neus in Ihh'Jj wns
ejected to the municipal council in ISS-l,
nud was a radical Socialist in the
Chamber of Deputies In 1KS.1. Four
years later lie became proprietor of Hie
newspaper La Volx, in wlilch he advo
cated his views. In the Chamber of
Deputies he urged many reforms, espe
cially relating to socinl legislation, nnd
he gained prominence ns editor-in-chief
of the Petite Itepublique. n post be
held until 1800, nnd ns nn Impassioned
orator.
In 1800, as lender of the Parlia
mentary or Opportunist Socialists,
Millerand was made member of the
Wnldeek-Roiissenii cabinet as min
ister nf commerce, much to the disgruii
tlenicnt of the Marxian, who some time
later expelled hlm from tho Socialist
party because he had tnken office In n
non-Sneinllst ministry. As a matter of
fact, during his Incumbency Millerand
did much to benefit the working classes.
In 1010 Millerand becamn min
ister of commerce and postal and tele
graph service, and in the first Briand
made hlm minister nf war, which post
he surrendered uniicca-ircumstiincrH nl

Indications In City Hnll todny were
thnt Vnrc members of Council will com- (
bine with the so-cnlled Independent
group and refuse to Indorse nny plan
for continuing the contract system of
street cleaning In eleven of tho thirteen
districts. Council has tho power to
force municipal cleaning for the entire
city.
A wave of real doubt as to the wis
dom of the Mayor's piecemeal plan Is
running through official circles in Coun
cil and the city ndminlstrntlon, now
thnt supporters of the city charter have
been heard from. Tho view of the
charter supporters was set forth by the
Bureau of Municipal Research In n joint
statement by Frederick P. Oruenbcrg
nnd James W. Collin, one of tho three
engineers who Investigated street clean
ing In other cities. The bureau, nfter
denouncing the pteecmcal plnn, virtu
nlly colled on City Council to reject the
combined contract and municipal clerin
Iiir proposal. The bureau pointed out
that Council can enforce Inunlclpal
cleaning.
Director Caen's Reply
Director Coven, of the Department of
Public Works, replied to the statement
by Mr. Gruenberg that the overhead
costs of two districts would be higher
than if the city cleaned nil the streets
by nssertiitg thnt he hnd Informed
Mnyor Mooie the city could do nothing
but what was prnctlcnl.
"No business mnn," snld the director,

that we could not do anything but

In other words, tnko the center of the

city enn nrrange to tnkc over the entire
proposition.
"The work of cleaning streets Is not
n secret. It is not necessary to have
technical men to do the work. Whnt
Is required is organization. If you

they will, do it. We nre honestly en

"Kiss 'Km Into (Wire"
Tightly drawn lines In the witness's
face relaxed n little. There was a
querulous smile about his rinse-hold
lips. In his voice there was more than
a touch of cynicism.
"I guess the have an idea they can
kiss em niio iiiiicc, no said.
In distinct contrast to the rather dis
couraged demeanor of the Democratic
stale chairman was the aggressive, con
fident mnnnrr of former governor I'd
ward C. Stokes, Republican state rhnir
mnn of New Jersey, who followed hlm.
Governor Stokes spoke in crisp, rapid,
explosive sentences, biting off his words,
nodding bis head for emphasis. He
wears his hair In bangs, supports nn
nrtistle white mustache and bespoke
netion In nil his utterances. Tho in
quiry turned on the pnyment of cnni
pnlgn speakers.
"What is- your custom In paying
speakers?" Senator Reed asked.
"Well, senator." came tho staciato
response. "I never got nny pay for mv
speeches nud I never pay anything for
speakers if I can help it,"
He chattered like a machine gun In
rattling off figures on campaign contri
butions nnd expenditures. He exuded
self-confidence. To date, the commit
tee has spent .$0245 and received S."000
finm the national committee, he' tes
tified. "We're in deht.'' he snapped. "But
In 101S we were 'wny in debt. I was not
chairman then."
Senators nnd spectators laughed. The
witness snw nothing funny In it.
Barnes Cartoonists' Delight
William Barnes, 0f New York,
"Boss" Barnes, who testified yetenlai
and again today, proved one o'f the in-1
teresting witnesses of the Inquiry. He
is a type. Oartninists love hlm nnd their,
cartoons look like hlm. His outstanding
teature is his nose, which is long and
largo. He parts his hair in the middle.
Deep creases run down from the nos-1
trils and furrow his cheeks. A pendu
lous lower lip dioops dejectedlv. When
he tries to smile, his face break's out In
n mvriiid oi nine wnuKics, He wore .1
checkered yest nnd brought two pairs of
spectacles, both horn-rlnimed, but one
pair with horn car frames and the other
with gold.
His testimony disclosed u frank nd
mlratlnn for Ids latest efToft, "Repub
licanism nf 10120." n book approved III
writing l.v such eminent individuals in
Flihu Root, former President Tnff, Wil
liam Ilockr feller, Charles Kvnus Hiighc.t
and Will Hays.
"I lliluk it's a very Interesting book,"
ho told the com.nlttee. "It Is gotten up
In good lurm, contains valuable Infor
mation," He appeared greatly grieved that any
one should nuspeet It to be anything but
n legitlmnto business enterpiiso,
"I am surprised to find thnt any ono
would suspect mo of subterfuge," ho
snld. "Anv onn who knows mo knows
that anything I do for the Republican
party, is done gladly nud openly."
"Vou thought, possibly, the book
would help solidify the Republican
party?' Senntnr Kenyon suggested
"I thought It was already solidified. '
Barnes retorted, with n twisted smile.'
"Tnft nnd Johnson?"
"Tnft nnd Johnson."
"Do you quota them on the Leagu
of Nations In your bonk?" Senator yken
yon Inquired In n gentle voice.
"No," Ilnrnen nnRwcred. "It didn't
seem to me to Jjo nn issue."
This brought nnother laugh una n
moment's rest.
Senator Kcnyon finally demnnded:
"Has this book any sinister sig
nificance?" "Boss" names came ns nenr nn in
gradating smile ns possible, "and an
swered In. atriooth, eveu tones, very
nolltely :
"Well, of course, senator, I nm
the one to deSloro that, ns 1 nm
person under suspicion." As Bnrnes
proceeded nnd Ilccd
cross-cxamlneii. un
temperature nf the room rose. Barnes's
voice rose with It. Ills tones got higher
until they reached a sing-song pitch,
almost a falsetto. He tried to mask n
rising nnger under nn elaborate courtesy
to senators of the voiumlttcc, but suc
ceeded only partially, Scnntor. Reed ,
finnlly ened the strnln by observing, i
not for the record, Hint ho bad (lis
covered Chauncey Depcw's picture In '
the Bnrnes book, 'among the (lead ones,' '
Including Washington, Henry Clay, I
Adams, Lincoln and other figures oi
history. , )
"I think he's misplaced." Senator
Itced remarked. "In my judgment, he's
thn livest thing In the pnrty." '
"Boss" Barnes held nn unllghtcd
clgnretle In one hnnd nnd dangled on'
of, bis two pairs of glasses In the otnei
nsi he testified. He did not light the
clgnrette until excused from the stnnd.
Liquor's Cnll ITnheeded
George T. Cnrroll, of Elizabeth. N. ,
J., president nf the National Retail '
Liquor Dealers' Association, nud nlso of i
the federated liquor Industries of New
Jersey, brought n rich Iiish brogue to
the witness stand nnd entcrtniniiieiu u .
the committee. Do told a snd. sad story
of the liquor dealers' situation. It is'
organized In six states, he said. Their
was a time when it was orgnui7.nl In a1
few others "But for some reason the
other states did not respond to the call
of the last convention," he explained,
quite seriously.
Shouts of laughter at this explanation
seemed to mystify him for a moment.
He testified rather .Ingenuously thnt
he had apprmnl a letter sent out to
members or the association boosting Cox
for President, hut snld he hadn't ap
pioved the paragraph cnntninlng Cox's
nnuie nnd identifying lilin as n "pn
iinunced wet." The letter he snld, was
signed with his rubber-stamp signa
ture. "Rubber stnmp?" Reed remarked. ,
1 ou could qualify as n member of Con
gress." v
"Yes," ngreed Senator Kenyon, "un
der this administration."
There was a momentary misunder
standing when Senator Kenyon nsked
how many copies of "Justice." the
liquor deiileis' official publication, hnd
been clirillnted. "since the rmivenllnn."
I "You mean our snte convention?'
Can nil nsked.
"No-"
"Our national convention In No'
York?"
"No," Scnnlor Kenyon eluridiitni,
"It. was KMhiin not so Important n-i
your convention,-but I meant tho Demo
cratic ualioiial convention in San Fran
cisco." Liquor Knows No Parly
When Senator Kdge persisted in qiics
tinning the witness ns to the views r
liquor dealers -m, Hie respective presi
dential candidates. Senator Reed ob
jected on the grounds that "if followed
up we will liiivc the witness testifying
to how much whisky both of them
drink."
"As a inntler or tnct." Kcdntnr Rrcd
demanded, "did you ever in your ex
perience find that the consumption of
liquor was regulated by party llucs''"
"No, sir," the witness' nnswerc
C(t.
without n trace of n smile.
"Hasn't it been your observation as
nn expert,." Reed pursued, '.'thnt some
Republicans oirnslnnqlly take a drink I
Republicans who are going to vote foi '
IlnnlingV"
"Yes. sir," leplled Cnrroll.
"Well, which candidate
driest?"
tho
"I couldn't av ns tn that."
"lime you ever hriird t lint Senator1
Ilnrdiiig had issued any manifesto in:
inc liquor question, saying he was in
favorof keeping the country bonc-drv
forever?"
"No. sir."
'No," ngreed
Reed, "and he
