Dealing with practically a homo
geneous population. the problems Of the
efficient administration OF municipal
affairs here are not 50 great as with
US IN the United States. made up as
our people are of so many nationalities,
differing so greatly in ideas, tendencies
and temperament; yet. despite these
obstacles, have no hesitation in saw

capable of solving any problem Of gov
eminent which may he presented TO US
and, while superficially the difficulties
IN the way Of maintaining municipality
owned enter prises may seem great, in
practice they would not be found 30,
Could Be Adopted Here.
Nothing that have seen. no investi-
CATION that 1 have made makes me
doubt for a moment that municipal
ownership could be successfully adopt

g Special Representatives
Make Life Miserable by
Their Intrusions.

LONDON. sept. 5.-Anerican million
aires ia London are being forced TO con-
ceaI their Identity in order to escape a
new grievance known as the special
representatives
The special representative" IS none
other than the commercial traveller. who
has recently shown a decided DISPOSE
ton TO adopt fresh methods in reaching
possible customers.
Many of my visitors are so worried
by tnesn representatives OF trading firms
that they viii not have their correct
names entered in the hotel book, said a
hotel manager
MANY OF them adopt travelling names,
aud most Of the Well-knOWn people give
ssrict instructions that the fact Of their
presence in the hotel is not 70 be made
public.
Rich Americans staying at London
hotels hnd they are bombarded with
callers from trading firms.
This was quite fair business so long
as ordinary business cards We're sent in,
but the latest method is for the special
representative TO send In a private card
asking TO see the visitor by name.
1.-THE visitor Is usually a much-trav-
eied man, VINO does not expect 10 REM
member all his acquaintance.
1T happens. therefore, that the caller
is frequently shown up. and the hotel
visitor huds himself delivered into the
hands of a representative OF a motor
car firm or of a CuriO dealer.
'"The idea that the rich American Wis
itor is the natural prey Of anyone with
anything TO sell has become so general
that fl is a very difficult matter for
American visitors TO London TO secure
anything like privacy"

Mayor John r. Fitzgerald. Of Boston.
Mr.. Fitzgerald has visited practically
every important city Of Great Britain
and Ireland, and. IN addition TO per-
sonally investigating the administration
of municipal affairs, gathered all the
statistics which were available. He
frankly confessed that he had been sur

the United Kingdom that does not own

'aThe administration Of the municipal
enterprise has, on the whole, been sue

municipalities. and by charging The util-

John BiseIow Moved to Sentiment on
 Journey Under Hudson River.

John Biselow Moved to Sentiment on
 Journey Under Hudson River.
 Ninety-one years old, but heartier than many of the younger men on the train. John Bigelow. distinguished statesman. author and historian, made the first official trip from Manhattan to New Jersey through the McAdoo tunnels. While the train was speeding from fifty to seventy feet beneath the bosom of the Hudson river he dictated the following statement: y.
 For the greatest joys of my whole life I am indebted to the Hudson river. I was born on its banks, have sailed on its waters in dories and on cakes of ice, I have drunk it, have swum in it and have skatcd on it's frozen bosom. It is responsible to me directly and in- directly for the greatest pleasures of my youth.
 "But If in the widest fever of my imagination l should have thought of having the enjoyment of crossing un- der the river I should certainly have been pronounced lnnatlc. Today have crossed in that way. It has beer, a new and different pleasure. and it Is the one of which as a citizen of New York and an American am most proud. The speeches were in good taste. They were necessarily brief, but there was a frank expression of the very paramount sentiment of the occasiou."
