freely, reckoning that itawas only other peo-
pies money they were spending.
Thus In London theatre company built
new playhouse. and as it was not made suffi-
ciently ornate to please the taste Of the County
Council, about $4,000 of public money was
spent In redecorating 1t. Between 1889 and
1905 more than S160O,OOO Of public money was
paid to lawyers and others for promoting or
opposing bills in Parliament For minor ''im-
pro7ement they bought land at the rate of
more than S5.0OOOOO an acre. transaction
which even Progressive leaders declared 10 be
''disgraceful," a tragedy of errors and ''the
most astounding that ever came before the
Council" There was much talk about the
steamboat service which the London County
council established on the Thames. but it is
being conducted at loss of more than $780,
oOO year. There is reason to believe that the
tramway systems Of London are also run at
loss, for while in the last four years the North
system has reported profits of S550.00O and
the South Of only $500 the auditor OF the
Local Government Board points out that down
TO April, 1905, only S450000 had been charged
against the tramways for street widenings
whereas S1,SI5,OO0 should have been charged.
And so the record runs, through a hundred
varied chapters
AT last the dancers have decided to find out
how much the piper has to be paid and who
mas TO pay him. 1t Is perceived; that while In
loSo tfe average tax rate in London was
os. 2Ad in the pound. it is now Is Cd. They
see that while in 1890 the average house I'm
London was taxed So 40 now it is taxed S1O9.
Ihey observe that while in 1890 the whole
amount raised by taxation in London was in
round numbers, $37 100000 in 1906 it ia s75,-
oooooo. Moreover, with all this increase in rev
enue, they see that the debt o. London has in
creased from $202, 100000 In 1889 to S51s.25O.-
900 in 1905. Truly, the piper is being paid a
colossal sum for the public's dancing Nor does
the speclous plea longer avail that he is paid
by the taxpaying minority. Tenants in Lon.
don and in other municipalities have awakened
10 the fact that the landlords taxes are paid
out OF the tenants rentals. and the result Is
that the great majority the men who own no
land nor houses, but who have to paw house
rents and buy food and clothes have found the
cost OF living not decreasing but rather in
creas1ng. and they have begun to ask them
selves whether this policy of unlimited mu-
nicipal expenditure is sane and profitable That
is the explanation of this extraordinary revo.
luton which has turned out the extravagant
Progressives and has committed the conduct of
municipal affairs to the Reformers

many observers have almost lost sight of the

TELLS LOVE SYNDICATE STORY
Mcclellan. VINO Gave Mrs. VcrreauIt a Rins.
Turns Z d as a witness.

The sad story of one James B. McClellan's
unfaltering belief in the efficacy of the
personal" for winning n wife and in the
promises and letters of Mrs. 3ina'F. Yer
reault, alias Helen Hamilton 'Wa old again
yesterday before COMMISSIONS Shields.
Mcclellan is the Philadelphia grocer
who registered the first kick against the
brunette. but il was as a witness for Leo
Keisler, the Hungarian. who is employed
by the Mutual Life Insurance Company,
that the Scotchman took the stand. keis-
Ter followed McClellan's suit, both in visit
ing Mrs. Verreault's handsomely furnished
house at 1923 West Eighty-second street
and in making complaint that the woman
had made use of the mails for improper
purposes.
McClellan's appearance was evidently
unlocked for. for both Mrs. Nerreault and
her counsel, Hugh Gordon Miller, showed
their surprise when Assistant United States
District Attorney Dorr announced that
he would call Mcclellan as a witness.
Mcclellan told without much prompting
the whole story Of his acquaintance with
Mrs. Hamilton" how he had answered
the personal in the Philadelphia Inquirer
on Nav 27 last and had come in hot haste
to New York. when he had received an
encouraging reply from Sincerity" Then
he told how he fell for the $500 three carat
diamond engagement ring, which he had
placed on the defendants finger and which
he said, she never would let him take of.
After several specimens Of Mrs. Verreault's
most winning style of amatory composition
were read Mr.. Miller tried TO show that
il was McClellan's Scotch common sense
and not sentiment that had actusted him
Mcclellan denied, however, that he had
tried to get back the diamond ring and to
substitute for it a "phony" one: He also
denied point blank that he had Commis-
stoned Clarence Cook, a lawyer to com
promise the matter with Mrs. Verreault,
and gave a decided NO" TO MIR. MiIler's
question II he had not taken the advice OF
a lawyer before beginning the correspon-
dence with Mrs. Verreault. q
Lawyer Miller then asked COMMISSIONS
Shields to dismiss the Keisler complaint
against Mrs. Verreault on the ground that
she had never given keisler a promise Of
marriage. The commissioner agreed with
Assistant United States District Attorney
Dorr that the matter needed further con-
sideration and set December 8 as the date
for the hearing. A decision will probably
be given at that time. After the disposition
OF the Keisler case Mrs. Verreault will be
held TO explain her affair with Mcclellan.
