tive department of the government,
and that he did not wish to send
Jones to Jail if he is to be pardoned.
So far as 1t relates to John N. Will
hanson, ex-Representative, the case
in which he was jointly indicted with
Mitchell, Hermann and others was
not dismissed. Heney said in an in
terview that Mr.. Williamson had
asked to be vindicated and that he
thought he would give him the op-
portunity in court.
No action was taken in the Frank
lin Pierce Mays case, this being
turned over to United States District
Attorney McCourt by Heney. This
case will probably be acted upon af-
ter the petition for pardon has been
decided upon.

MR. srAnoo,s PRoPosAL.

The offer of Mr.. McAdoo's company to
huild = subway down the west SIDE,
connecting its Sixth avenue line With its
terminal at Cortlandt street ana proFlo-
in. facilities for the transportation OF
the passengers brought 20 the city IN
the new Pennsyl vania tunnel, IS attrac-
tive because II brings Mr., McAdoo
company into the local traction held.
Counled with the offer is promise TO
hid for the operation of the trlborougn
subway. if this Is constructed with city
canits1. and 70 operate It in connection
with this proposed West Side line as
single system over which 4 single fare
would be charged If this should be
done, the only defect OF the trlborough
route would be remedied. Its fault has
been that il did not reach the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad station nor the shop
ping. hotel and theatrical district in this
CITY. With this proposed West Side line
operated as a part Of It, that defect
would be removed and the value of the
triborough route as an operating PROPOSE
ton greatly increased.
The prospect is an alluring one, and
the 6esirahilitv Of having Mr.. Mc3doo
for q bidder for the triborough subway.
should It be built by the city. is enough
20 make the public look with favor upon
the present proposal. The policy of Mr..
McAdoo's company has been enlightened
and progressive. and II has called forth
general approval There is no one
whose entrance into the field of city
transportation would he more welcomed
than Mr.. McAdoo'S. The building or
this West Side line connecting the up
town branch of the Hudson and Man
haitian tunnels with their downtown tor
minaI is. as The Tribune pointed out
lonS ago. a logical development Of the
system. Its construction merely TO conf
piete that system might he open to the
objection that It would permit the com
panv 10 skim the cream of the city
traffic without greatly increasing the
city's facilities. Mr.. McAdoo himself
appears 10 recognize that objection and
TO meet It ny the promise TO make this
West Side line part Of the triboroueh
system. if this Is built with city capital
and if his company should be the Sue
cessful bidder for its operation.
The requirement that this West side
extension should be built with city CAPT
tai raises one difficulty. IF the city is TO
build the triborough route its borrow.
ing capacity viii be severely taxed with
cur undertaking this additional and
1auch needed line. The fronosed line,
however, is not long and will conse.
quentfy not be enormously expensive
This difficulty may not, therefore. prove
t. be iusupera bic.

Sir: May ask the privilege of calling
attention through The Tribune to hui
rnanitarlan work of great Importance
namely, that OF bringing fresh air and sun
shine into lives where fogs and clouds are
prevalent?
The toilers Of the sea are for months
away from home, friends. family influence,
away from the world, with its current In
ferests; they lack new faces. variety of
meals, interesting companions, Their only
touch with tbs world IL the literature they
may have aboard. Sailors love 10 read and
are especially fond of locking ut flustra-
tions in magazines.
IN this cause the Mission Yacht Assocta-
ton Incorporated) is kept busy daily. A
library Of thirty bound books and the new
est magazines obtainable are placed on
each vessel bound on a long voyage, and
the sailor is emphatic in his appreciation.
Many captains have written the Mission
Yacht Association OF their surprise at the
good effect this has had upon their men.
The Mission Yacht owns and keeps in use
a yacht and motor car gathering the lit
erature md distributing it II is supported
entirely by voluntary contributions. Most
Of the vessels among which it works are
anchored in Brooklyn, and when the new
