In his farewell address to the Senate Vice President Fairbanks endeapored to give "a clean bill of health" to that body. He deprecated current criti- cism of the Senate, the record of which, he says, is not surpassed by that of "any legislative assembly any where.'' He foresaw many varied and complex questions to come, which will have "a potential bearing upon the very structure of republican gov ernment, and ''an important influence upon our social and industrial sys- temS." He denied the charge that the Senate lis not always responsive to the popular will,'' and declared that it obeys that will which is the fruit of deliberate, intelligent reflection
 The retiring Vice-President has voic- ed well the theory of the Senate's prop CT functions, but he has failed to state the actual practice, which is vastly different.

APPROVES MORGAN CONTROL.
EQUITABLE Funds in Good Hands, Says
Former Controller Myers.

Theodore W. Myers. who was Controller
c. this city during Mayor Hewitt's admin
istration. arrived here yesterday on the
Lusitania after a vacation of five months.
lie said that the purchase of the stock
control Of the Equitable Life Assurance So
cioty by J. T.. Morgan showed the tendency
OF the day toward the concentration of re-
sources. 'The millions OF tho Equitable.
he said ARE in good hands Whatever Mr..
Morgan does the public may rest assured
all will he done right. Mr.. Morgan will
not use the money TO initiate or TO depress
the stock market"
Mr.. Myers said that the recent court de-
CiSion i'm the Standard Oil has
strengthened the faith OF foreigners in
American securities. and shows that the
American government wishes 10 have its
corporations Justly administered. He said
the new administration Of this city should
exercise economy. and that if Il chooses 10
do so it can easily save 20 per cent on the
city budget.
jefferson NJ. Levy also was a passenger
or the Lusitania. He said he believed that
in the purchase of the control Of the Equita-
bic J. p. Morgan planned TO mutualize the
society and. turn over its resources for the
benefit OF the policyholders. Il believe that
this is Mr.. Morgan's intention he said.
and he will not misuse the vast capital.
The Equitable is better in his hands"

CalTin TOmkins FaUOrs Plan
of {. X. Lamb.

Calvin TOmkins. president of the Reform
Club and eN-president of the Municipal Art
Society. said yesterday that Charles r..
Lambs proposal TO arcade West 32d street,
together with the plans OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad for obtaining additional access
over its own property to its new central
station. would afford great local relief and
at a minimum expense.
1t is not generally recognized. said Mr..
TOmkins that the city has acquired many
additional street passages through the
lower stories OF the skyscrapers. These
numerous arcades which have been estab-
lished are sources of profit 10 the buildings,
and in effect constitute new streets. mate

streets"
Mr. Tomkins said that the question OF
street extensions and engagements in lower
Manhattan. which part of the city would
hereafter constitute the hub Of the entire
port Of Manhattan. was matter which
from now on should receive continuous at
tention.
The traffic use Of these streets" said
Mr. TOmkins. lis increasing rapidly. Some
thoroughfares. like Nassau street. are al
ready overcrowded. and many crossings.
such as those az Madison avenue and Fifth
avenue and 3sth street. Broadway and
Sixth avenue. now constitute points where
traffic is blocked for prOtracted periods.
The problem OF the BlackwelI's Island
bridge approach is also demanding urgent
attention. Sixth and Seventh avenues must

aide subways to be extended through them.
THE increasing demands upon the street
surfaces, due TO concentration of whole

tension OF numerous streets IN lower Man
haitian. and unless these conditions shall
lie provided for i'm advance of expensive
private improvements the cost Of
d'mnine private property for such use will
lie very great
Arcading the streets by underwriting
the side buildings affords one of the east
