FEND ITS WORK.

Accountant Howard G. Beck shook
up the Hawkins report again before the
council streets committee, Wednes-

bunch OF errors in It's finding. This
winds up his investigation of the
report and n. A. Hawkins & Co. will
now come back To attempt To show
that the report was right when made.
Subjects covered in the final sec
ton OF Beck's work are permits. ma
terial and tool accounts, asphalt
plant. storage yards. weed cutting and
similar matters. Beck finds that er-
rors were made in few OF the thou
sands OF transactions In the permit
division. but that they were after

In regard to weed@cutting he shows
that the city was out even more than

that the department of public works

ROADS USE EMPLOYEES
IN RATE CAMPAIGN

Members OF the Wholesalers asso-

now using the services of their en-
ployes to create sentiment In favor Of
an increase in freight rates.
VIM III. Kent, an engineer, lately
addressed the business men of Jack
son and made overtures TO the Whole
salers OF Detroit for a meeting.
Railroad arguments in the matter
are we'll known by the Detroit merch-
ants, through the address here of w.
c. Brown, vice president of the New
York Central This has been used as
a text I'm other speeches made In var
ious cities by railroad men. Brown
argued that an increase in rates must
come or cutting down In the wages
OF labor.
So far the only boosts in rates made
have been on coffee and sugar by the
roads TO the east and south OF Chi
cago. Further increases which are
threatened. would impose a serious
tax on the wholesale trade OF this and
other cities and also tax on the con-
sumner.

.BR |T|SH HOLD ON
INDIA QUESTIONED
BY FRENCH WRITER
ULAR DECLARES
THE ENGLISH HAVE FAST LOST
GROUND IN COUNTRY-lNTER-
NAL TROUBLE AHEAD.

PARIS, July 16.-The serious at
tention OF diplomats has been attract
ed by an article which has appeared
in La Revue by NJ. Alexandra Ular,
and which Is entitled Can England
Hold India?"
The writer says that, by reason of
It's tranquility under British rule, Eu-
rope had almost forgotten the exist
ence OF India. The recent disturb
ances there have once more directed
attention toward the ancient empire
OF the Moguls. English goods have
been boycotted in Bengal, and the
Hindus. in seeking to rid themselves
OF the yoke OF their western masters,
have had recourse to the bombs OF
the Russian revolutionaries. What
has the future in store? NJ. Ular does
not profess TO q answer this question,
but he feels certain that grave hap
penings are impending.
The few thousand civil and military
functionaries that replaced the admin
istrative employees OF the .Edst India
company. according TO the writer, ac-
centuate. by their every act, the ra-
eial, religious, social and moral diff
ficulties which separate them from
the 250000,000 human beings whom
they govern solely by The prestige
of the power they represent, but which
power would have the greatest diff.
ficulty in efficiently aiding them on
the day of a general revolt.
The British hold on Indian. he
thinks. is just as precarious as II was
In the days of John Company" and,
all things considered. the fact that
the Indian empire still exists, NJ. Ular
regards as the most extraordinary OF
miracles. Otherwise than in the case
OF Australia. English colonists did no
good TO the land of India.
They did not make their home
there. They came as financiers. tour
lists, or fortune hunters, and they quit
ted the country as soon as possible,
always providing they did not die in
the meantime.
For long the English believed that
the only way by which India could
be wrested from them was by inva.
sion. But now, as by some cruel irony
of fate, when the Russian menace
has disappeared, 1t would seem that
India was In danger OF being lost by
troubles from within. II India Is
10 be held, NJ. Ular thinks, she must
be concillated. and the time. he feels,
Is coming when England Will realize
that II Is only by making the neces-
sary concessions to the governed race
that she can retain her hold on the
peninsula.
