mands for detailed dissertations, would en-
tail such losses and difficulties as practical

ADJUSTS SUBWAY CONTRACT
Conference Reduces Differenc S
from Forty-four TO Four.

After z prolonged conference with en-
gineers and counsel for the city and the
Public Service Commission Acting Mayor
Mitchell yesterday announced that the
points of difference between the commits
sion and the Board of Estimate regarding
the conditions of the contract for building
subways by the city had been reduced from
forty-four 10 four.
We viii keep right at it until they are
adjusted said the Acting Mayor. IT do
Dot anticipate any disagreement on these
points after we have had time TO discuss
them. We did not have the time to-day,
although We kept at it from in the morn
ing until S clock in the evening
Deputy Controller Mathewson, now act
ing for Controller Prendergast- and Leroy
T Hardness, Of counsel for the Public
Service Commission and number OF en-
gineers from the Board Of Estimate and
from the commission went over the eondi-
tiens with the Acting Mayor. Mr.. Mitchell
said he had not been advised by the Cor
poration Counsel of any differences of
opinion with regard TO the contract for
private construction and operation.
He did not believe, he said, that there
would arise any necessity for conference on
that form of contract. He added that he
was still in favor Of construction by the
city. and If q contract for private con-
stTueJion and operation we're recommended
there might be a lively discussion On the
question.
The Public Service Commission has sue
ceeded II getting the transit committee of
the Board OF Estimate TO permit open
cuts in the subway construction Or Man
haitian Island. Tracks Will be under cover
south Of 1S0th street, except at places
shown in the detailed plans. and the en-
gineers OF the commission will have dis
eretion in allowing open cut work to be
carried on during construction where it
does not interfere with the street traffic.

ARMY AND NAVY NOTES
Officers Favor Motor Cars for
Military Transportation.
from The Trioune Bureau
Washington, August

ARMY MULE THREATENED.-A Another
ancient institution is threatened by modern
science. The army mule, from time iulme-
mortal regarded a military necessity,
may have TO take a subordinate place in
future warfare between the nations. for
the motor car is now essential to the wei
fare of men in battle.
Reports received at the War Department
from officers who have served at the joint
army and militia maneuvres this summer
are more emphatic than ever concerning
the value OF the moter car in military
transportation. Many examples are given
of the time saved in the delivery of sup
plies from the base to distant points, es-
pecially when the troops are away from
the garrison ranges, and the number of
ovens has been greatly increased by mount
ing the outfit on motor car.
One officer. Lieutenant Colonel I. W. Lift,
the chief quartermaster at Governors
Island. has recommended that the subject
be referred TO a special board OF officers
with q view to ascertainng what steps
shall be taken TO adopt the motor car in
the army for field use. Some officers, how
ever, have reported that the type of We
hicle is net 20 be depended upon, partly
because of the repairs which are necessary
and partly because Of the condition Of the
roads in some sections of the country. On
the other hand, it is pointed out that with
the adoption generally of motor cars there
could easily be provided means of repair in
the field. and in the end there would be
great interruption in the system of trans
portaIion. since the breakdowns must be
only incidental. It is also pointed out that
the motor car could go wherever the pres
ent army wagon can be taken.
OF course, there will continue to be mill
tary operations where the supplies will
have te be carried on the backs of ami
mails, but they will be in locations where no
type of wagon could penetrate. Major Cen
eral Leonard Wood. chief of staff OF the
army, is an enthusiastic advocate of the
motor vehicle He will probably have some
interesting remarks TO make on this sub
ject in his first annual report as senior
officer OF the General Staff.

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

STOCKTON, Sept 15.-The suit on
trial before Judge C. w. Norton. in
which j. Jerome Smith demands an ac-
counting by Jacobs & Flack and others
OF the Gate City oil company, grew
rather warm today especially so far as
Attorney Charles Fairall for the plain
tiff and Attorney Frank H. Gould for
the defendants were concerned The
attorneys engaged in several clashes,
using personalities. and were called to
order by the court.
Secretary Mosher was on the stand
all forenoon and until o'clock this
afternoon, when the ross-examtna ton
was completed by Attorney Gould.
The trend of Mosher's testimony un-
der cross examination was to the effect
that Attorney Jacobs had accomplished
a great deal for the company by his
personal management. 1t is alleged by
the plaintiff that Jacobs & Flack ma
nipulated the stock so as to depreciate
Its value in order that they might pur-
chase 1T at a low figure.
Joe Ruiz, proprietor of the Tivoli
saloon and dance hall of this city, was
the next witness called to the stand.
He stated upon direct examination
that he, Jacobs and Flack and a man
named Walker formed a corporation
known as the Mountain Improvement
company. The company he said, owned
six lots and hotel
The case will be resumed tomorrow
and interesting events are anticipated
when Attorney Jacobs takes the stand.
