by such journals as that which Dr. Alb
bolt edits, the Outlook. I do not be
lieve that is so.
"A very large section Of every commu-
nifty derives its opinion OF public events
solely from the newspapers Of the day
and many Of them simply by reading the
headlines. II is a very serious thing that
it is so.
We have heard a great deal lately
about anarchy, but I would rather have
the task Of dealing with anarchy than
with government by newspaper have
no personal quarrel with the newspapers
At times they have visited upon me ey-
cessive adulation. and at other times have
poured out upon me the walls Of their
wrath, but the situation is becoming too
serious when the newspaper press OF this
city. with entire unanimity, takes po-
sition that is wholly uniustihed, and when
the reading public forms It's opinions from
such sources.
Gentlemen. when you see the entire
newspaper press Of New York abusing one

NEW YORK. March 5.-District Attor-
Fey Jerome last night made a private
dinner to the Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott his
occasion for the defence Of the grand
jury's action in the New York Central
tunnel disaster. and for a bitter denun-
citation Of what he called government
by newspapers"
He delivered a scsthing philippe
against municipal newspaper methods
and cautioned the public not to form its
opinions from newspaper reading. Incl
dentaily. he declared his answering
taithfulness to the oath he has taken to
do his duty. and said that even II that
involved the destruction Of his own po-
lticaI future. and If ii meant the tearing
down. in a measure. Of a so-called re-
form administration with which he has
been identified. those considerations
could make no difference in his course
Mr.. Jerome was next TO the last speak

was called upon. He apologized for hav-

he had been distinctly assured that he
would not be asked to speak

inconsistencies IN THE
GRANTING OF PENSIONS

Representative Sims Of Tennessee is
making a Campaign against pension leg
islatiOn and charges recklessness and dis
elimination by the House in the passage
OF private pension bills.
Figures show that al the short session
Of the last Congress in four days 7e7
private pension bills we're passed, OF
which 4s7 were for increase, and that the
average Of the increases allowed was
above 200 per cent.
Mr.. Sims holds that there should be
a general law regulating the increase Of
pensions. so that one man should not be
given double the amount given another
for like disability resulting from like
service.
The methods that obtain in legislation
in the grant Of increase is thus described
by Hr. Sims:

number OF articles have recently ap-
peared in newspapers throughout the
country severely criticising the Park
Commission" and the Senate District
Committee on whose initiative the Com
mission was selected, and sent to Europe
last summer. Both the Senate committee
and the Commission are much iucensed
over the stories sent out from Washing
ton, which, they say. are wholly unwar-
ranted.
The large amount to be allotted this
year to the contingent fund OF the Sen
ate by the legislative, executive. and ju-
dicial appropriation bill again calls at
tentiOn TO the Commission, which cost
about $4,000.
Committees Authority Attacked.
The assertions in the attacks on the
Commission are that the Senate committee
had no right to send it TO Europe, on its
''junketing trip" that Congress did not
contemplate any such trip; that the Com
mission has done work that was already
done quite as we'll il not better. BY
an architect employed by the War De
partment, and that finally the War De
Dartment will have nothing to do with the
Commission and its plans. and that there
fore they are worth nothing and will
never bear any fruit
Attitude of Other Officials
The most serious Of these charges is
that the War Department is unfriendly
20 the Commission plan, for if this were
so there might be a serious clash between
Senator McMillan's committee ard the
Department. which might result in a
stoppage of all work Of public improve
ment in the District
As a matter OF fact, Secretary Roots
last annual report shows that there is
no foundation for this charge. Mr. Root
speaks in the most cordial terms OF the
Commission and its work. and urges that
its plans be adopted in the future i'm

WARM CRITICISM
OF BIC EXPENSES

Comment is rife throughout the
country ON the Senate District
Committees authorization of the
Park Commissions trip to Europe
last summer. and the charging of
the cost. $4,000, against the con
tingent funds of the United States
Senate. Similar plans had been
previously prepared by the War
Department, il is stated. and the
availability of the Commissions
work now seems doubtful

worked for the War Department. He ac-
cepted the Commissions offer to devise
a plan for the Identification of the Mall
and TO connect it with Rock Greek Park.
His plan is that known as the goose
egg plan" from the fact that il repeats
many times in the Mall the goose egg
shaped spaces to be seen on the grounds
east OF the Capitol This idea was much
talked about when il was first brooched.
Friends Of the Senate District Com
mittee state that the plan is not only
net artistic, but that ii would be incon-
veDient in the extreme and that it would
cost vastly more to carry out than the
scheme Of the Park Commission. They
assert that it contemplates the destruc-
talked about when it was first preached
Senator McMiIlan's Work.
Nothing was done with Mr.. Parsons
ideas and little more than a year ago
Senator Mcmillan suggested to the Sen
ate District Committee and TO other
friends OF the District in Congress that
some broad general plan should be ar
ranged on which the future development
Of the District might proceed in an or
derby and artistic fashion.
As matter OF fact there was no formal
authority given the committee TO send a
commission to Europe. II was author
lied by a joint resolution Of Congress to
have such plans prepared, the expense of
the work TO be met out Of the Senate
contingent expense fund. No limit was
fixed as to the amount to be expended or
as to how the plans should be pre-
pared
Mr. CannOn's Objection.
It is probable that Mr.. Cannon Of the
House Committee on Appropriations
might have objected to the joint resoIu-
ton if he had known how much IL was 20
cost as the method OF lacking such a
heavy expenditure on the Senate con-
tingent fund was undoubtedly unusual
Mr. Cannon's attitude has shown itself.
in fact He made a protest when the
Park Commission item came up for dis
cussion by the Appropriations Committee,
and announced finally that no such ex-
penditure shall be made again with his
permission. Despite this fact, however,
the beauty Of the plans. and their prac-
ticability have disposed nearly everyone
in Congress and N the departments TO
forgive Senator McMiHan's committee for
its somewhat Napoleonic disregard for
J precedent.
