est political card. Attended by a
body of friends, he presented himself
at the council chamber and forced ad-
mission When the resolution re-
newing the franchise was about to be
voted upon, as a citizen of New York
deeply interested in the matter he de-
manded to be heard. Before permits
sion was either granted or refused
by the astonished presiding officer,
Gormly drew from his pocket a piece
Of paper. Amid the deepest silence
he held 1t up and said:
Il offer $10,000,000 for this fran
chiss. If 1t be granted me, l shall
guarantee to operate the road In the
interests of the people, and turn over
all the profits above six per cent. on
my investment, to the people them
selves. Lest there should be any
doubt of my ability to make good"
continued the merchant, 81 beg to say
that l have in my hand a forfeiture
question. which is certified to by the
City of Gotham National bank"
THE gentleman is out of order"
remarked the presiding officer as soon
as he could recover his equipoise,
I'VE are not auctioning off public
franchises to the highest bidder. We
are granting this one in the interests
of the public to the company which
has already served the people so well

THANH you, my friend" answered
Gormly (Which will enable them to
steal from you your money, your earn
ings, your investments, your profits,
your capital, whatever you have for
the next one hundred years. They
have sold bonds to pay for the build
ing of the road; not one cent of their
own money has gone into it, They
have issued stock to themselves to
double or quadruple the value of the
investment, and they are determined
to make you pay interest, large inter-
est, on that stock as well as on the
bonds But, in order that they can
carry out this nefarious and thieving
proposition, they must secure this
franchise which expired today, ether
wise their traction lines will be incon-
plete, will end in the air, there will
be no connection between it's ends;
for the territory covered by this fran
chise is so situated that if the lines
are to be connected it must be
through this territory. Consequently
this franchise is the most valuable of
the few remaining properties of the
people. You own it; it belongs to
you. It's your last chance to get your
rights. If you hold it, they are at
your mercy.
This franchise, the possession of
which means so much to you, is about
to be given away. The council has
overwhelmingly passed an ordinance
granting 1t, without restrictions, to
the Gotham Freight Traction company
for the space of one hundred years.
VIII you sanction that?"
The square was now seething with
excitement. Gormly's clear, powerful
voice carried to the extremes of the
crowd. His plain, practical presenta-
ton was simple enough for all to I'M
derstand. He paused at this juncture
and surveyed the crowd. A voice
suddenly cried shrill negative, and
instantly the word was caught up and
a great laundering chorus of mo, no!
Never" rolled through the park with
ever increasing volume and vehe-
mence.

yesterday decided to accept the sug-

ers that the date of the exhibition be
postponed from the coming summer
to the summer of 1911, and that the
character of the enterprise be changed
from a strictly American show to an
American German joint affair This
decision was reached following the re
ceipt Of cablegram from New York
in which the American commissioners
explained that their decision in the
matter had been adopted after ma
ture elaboration. and was Influenced
by the fact that the leading exhibitors
including the Standard Oil company,
the railroad companies and certain
municipalities and machinery manu-,
facturers had withdrawn support for

Madison. March 8

Madison. March 8.
That the University OF Wisconsin is
a business organization of the first
magnitude, as well as one of the fore
most educational institutions in the
country, has now been recognized by
the university board OF regents who
yesterday passed resolution provid-
ing for the selection and appointment
OF business manager for the uni
versity. who will have complete
charge, subject only to the regents
and their executive committee, of all
the business affairs of the institution.
The resolution, which was unanim
ously agreed to at the meeting of the
board yesterday AFTERNOON, authorizes
and directs the executive committee
to commence I. search for man
competent to undertake this response
bility, and make the appointment as
soon as it is satisfied that the right
man has been found. This appoint
ment, as well as the salary that will
be paid to the new officer, is left prae.
tieally to the discretion of the execut-
i've committee, although its report
viii no doubt be submitted to the
whole board for approval.
The action of the regents taken at
this time, it is pointed out by mem
bers of the board, is in no sense a
reflection on the handling of the bust.
ness affairs by the present admins.
tration, but is simply a recognition OF
the fact that the institution has grown
beyond the stage when one man,
whatever his ability, can exercise ade.
quate supervision over the wide range
of interests comprised within the uni
ersity. 1t is the belief of the re.
gents that the appointment of a bust.
ness manager and the turning over to
him of that exclusive control of all
the business affairs, which is now
vested in the president, will relieve
the president of burden of detail
that is in its nature wholly foreign
to his proper work as the head of an
educational institution, and will result
in a much greater advance in educa.
tional matters and in business admin.
istration as well, than would ever be
possible under the present arrange.
ment.
BY the terms of the resolution the
new officer will be selected in time
to take over the work laid out for MIN
at the close of the present fiscal year,
July l. The committee will at once
begin looking for a man for the posi-
ton, and will at an early date deter
mine what salary the place viii carry.
