Enormous waste in the purchase of sup
plies and heavy losses in many other ways
were depicted by Comptroller Herman w.
Metz and some of the principal employees
Of his office when they appeared as wit
nesses before the joint legislative com.
mittee, which lie investigating the finances
Of the city.
Mr.. Metz said that all this waste could
be avoided by having a single purchasing
agent for the whole city. He said that the
city suffers heavy losses also in condem-
nation proceedings. He oited the case Of
the Harlem speedway built in 1896 and de-
clared he knew a special corporation coun-
sci who is still sitting in connection with
that matter and In all has drawn $50, 900
from the city.
Charles 8. Hervey, supervising statlsti-
clan and xamin in the comptroller's Of
flee, testified that there were abuses in
the classification Of disbursements which
he illustrated with the story of the head
of a department who obtained 1900 for
the purchase Of rubber boots, but bought
only 81 worth OF that article, spending the
remainder of the money for a horse and
carriage for a favored superintendent in
his department.
TIL whole question OF the purchase Of
supplies is dealt with in a large placard,
which suggests that the reason why there
is no money for parks and play grounds
may be found in the following table;

Perhaps the thought OF spending 10000,
900 to provide a subterranean freight sys-
tenn for Manhattan Island may have sound
visionary and suggest memories of Monte
Cristo to many persons, but that there is
substantial basis for the project is made
evident by the consideration it is receiv-
ing from the Public Finance commission.
William ]. Wilgus is the wizard who pro-
poses to honeycomb the city, and he
calmly assures a wondering public that
detailed plans have been shown in conf
dence to many Of the leading railroad
men, as well as to practical engineers and
~flnanoiers. All pronounced the enterprise
perfectly practicable alike from the engi-
neering and the financial viewpoint, he
says, but so far ne has not revealed the
name OF any OF the capitalists ready TO
nut in their millions.

The daring ingenuity Of John ]. Howard,
a policeman, probably saved the life of
John weisenbeck, a cripple, who had been
unable to flee with others from a burning
house in West One und and Third
street. With the aid OF several firemen,
who grasped him by the legs as he swung
head downward from a five-story window
OF an adjoining house, the policeman
swung across a five-foot court, grasped
the cripple. who was leaning from the
window of his burning home, surrounded
by flames, and drew him up to safety.
Almost before the flames had been
checked, after damaging the building to
the extent OF SIT, 900, residents of the vicin-
ity, which is a poor tenement district, had
started a purse for the policeman with
contributions of $50 and were preparing
a petition TO Commissioner Bingham to
advance the patrolman to the rank of
sergeant "in behalf OF the Jewish popula-
ton Of the neighborhOod."

but when a political visitor draws an en-

Of other party camps should sit UP n

keep in safe order lines the 1900 men and
women who crowded about him eager to
touch even so much as the hem OF his coat.
At the same time there were damned into
the American theater and the Hippodrome,
where he spoke in turn. some $500 and 700
persons. respectively, every one OF whom
had paid from Is to 30 cents for a chance
to hear him speak. Some bought tickets
from Spectators who thronged the Hippo
drome sidewalk. paying double or even ire
BILE the highest price.
Besides this. the crowd inside the Hip
podrome bought eagerly socialist campaign
literature; bought Debs' autographs. which
were on sale there; bought little squares
Of red cloth to wave as flags. And after
this contributed readily to a collection,
when the hat was passed around, which
Detted 500.
Last Sunday night at a dinner in Debs'
honor, (which the candidate was too tired
to attend, Mrs. ]. G. Phelps Stokes, who
was Rose Pastor, and in her girlhood here
worked in a cigar factory, took off the
only jewel she was wearing, a large pearl
pin, when an appeal was made for funds,
and threw 1t into the contribution box,
promising also "a brooch which l have at
home and which l never wear"
Her example was followed by other
women present. Mrs. Stokes wealthy hus-
band, himself a convert to socialism, is a
candidate Of the party for the assembly
in one of the east side districts.
THE Hippodrome crowd waited patiently.
through dreary speeches without a sign
of discomfort for the candidates coming.
They greeted him with a roar and a great
waving Of the red flags. Every point he
made in his speech was the signal for
more red flag waving and another roar of
enthusiastic appreciation. When he emerged
early in the evening to go to his hotel to
rest, the cheering OF the thousands in
Sixth avenue sounded through the closed
windows Of the upper floors of the Times
building, a long block away, with almost
the same volume that is given forth by
the crowd in the square below on election
night. AT this time wildly enthusiastic So
cialists were trying to pick up the auto
mobile in which Mr.. Debs was riding and
to carry 1t or drag it-no one could tell

 All this knocking on the part of some of the fans and even some of the officials of the Montgomery Baseball Association Is not only hurting rne team but putting 1t in a bad light, If ever man has worked hard to make Jimmy Ryan. He has done everything that Is possible for a man to do. He has received the hearty cooperation of President Chambers both from a moral and financial point of view and during the past three months he has undoubtedly given Montgomery the best baseball ever had in this city and possibly the best in the South. for the team has been leading the League un- CTS have fallen down on him and that there seems to be internal dissension in the team Itself it would certainly seem to be the part of wisdom, to say nothing of any other term, on the part of the local fans and officials of the Montgomery club to give him their hearty support and cooperation.
 probably find out some of the causes of the trouble on the team. He has al- ready had a telegram from President Chambers advising him of some of the causes for dissension and when he gets back to Montgomery with the team the whole thing will be made plain to him.
 So the fans should not be surprised the personnel of the Climbers within the next few days. Jimmy Ryan is goin~ to nave a ball team that will finish fighting for the top of the heap in Septem ber--let's everybody pull to- gether and help him.
