The fine imposed amounts to s29,24O,OOO When Judge Landis ascended the bench he faced the greatest array of legal talent ever assembled in one court room.

New York. April 14.-At last there
Is real boss at the head OF the

In the boroughs OF Manhattan and the
Bronx. This now boss Is Theodore

the Panama canal commission and
now the president OF the INTERIOR
ough Metropolitan company, which
was formed by rolling into solne 81
gantic corporation all the subway
lines, all the elevated railroad lines
and all the vast network Of trolley
and horse cars which carry millions OF
people every day
Included In this combination also
are the trolley lines OF the borough
of Queens. which will soon be con-
nected with the Manhattan subways
by an Independent tunnel under the
East river. There are a dozen or
more companies in the combination
besides the numerous lines that the
parent trust leases and each is gov
erned by all executive committees,
The complete control of the operat-
ing side OF the business was shown

intelligent consideration and many
OF them are investigated by the

contemptuous attitude towards the
patrons has melted away In the sun
of Mr.. Shonts' smile.
There is no doubt bur that the com

now living In hotels and the demand
for more and costlier hostelries con-
tinues unabated. OF course there are
always a vast number OF strangers

the bulk OF the business. but this
does not detract from the fact that
