Did Not Know of Order.

Still further, according to these tales,
the day after the manufacturer received
the order, All agent Of the firm appeared
before Mr.. Wood with the signed order
in his hand and that is supposed to be
the first time Mr.. Wood knew anything
about the matter. He made no protest
then, however. Three weeks later Mr..
Hargrove, according TO Mr.. Wood, came
TO him with acquisitions for these ma
chimes and Mr.. Wood signed the reouisi-
lions
Mr.. Wood was asked why he had not
protested then:
What good would 1t have doneo' he
asked in return.
One of Mr.. Woods friends pronounced
three questions for the public to answer
last night. These questions were a part
of the mystery surrounding the underly-
ing animus of the entire set OF charges,
and are as follows:
why were these machines ordered at

ENGLISH CLUB GOES
SUMMING AMONG DUKES
Correspondence OF The Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON, January %, 1911.
EVER since the recent inaugural dinner
- Of the Agenda Club at the Hotel
Cecil every one has been asking what
the club is. The object Of the club is a
tall one; it is betterment of existing
social conditions. Nevertheless, as a
proof that the aims of the club are not
visionary. a group of representative MEM
hers includes Lord Shaftesbury, Lord
Brassey. w. w. Asquith. the prime min
ister's brother; Granville Barker, the
playwright; Owen Seamen. editor of
Punch, and many we'll known business
men and journalists.
When James Thor?, secretary OF the
Agenda Club. was interviewed he said
Our theory is that there is an enormous
number of men who are fully convinced
OF their social responsibility, but ,,Iey
do not know how to fulfill it. We be-
lievc that 1t is possible to organize peo-
pie to do small services. and that these
small services concentrated on one par
ticuar point will have far more effect
than larger services done independently
in many directions. We are told that
men can always find out what they should
do if they take the trouble. But that
is a big IT, and we save them the
trouble. We put them In touch with a
Money is the only thing that does
not matter. The worst thing about mod
crn charity is that a man thinks that
when he has given a draft on his bankers
he is absolved from further responsible
ity. There will be no subscription to the
Agenda Club A man will be sn 'Agenda
man if he does the thing he offers to
do or is asked to do"
The dominating idea OF this business
like organization is that men can be
oS,,l, Ay. @iay
Ice when they are asked to use their
own professional knowledge to further the
general good.
The Hon. Sydney Holland, in dealing
with the objects Of the club. says: Our
aim will be to bring gentlemen, the nat
urai leaders of the country. out Of their
shell. 1t may be our duty to Stun among
dukes. rescue earls and set young peers
on their legs. even if their last legs. We
want to collect men who will live FOL
who will die for IT.
Among the diverse objects the Agenda
Club proposes to tackle are the pre-
vention Of expectoration, the pure milf
question, the problem OF tho segregation
Of the half-witted, street begging, and
the organization of the correspondence
columns OF the press Then there are
many minor matters In which the clul

I'm such a case" said Mr.. Thorp, THE
people would write to US. and we should
send thirty or forty Of our young mer
out to watch for two or three days anG

the necessary remedy, 90 to the proper
authority and say, Why can't this b<

Commissioner Johnston in New York

Commissioner Rudolph said last night
that Commissioner Johnston had gone to
New York. He also said:
ANY charges against Commissioner
Johnston are charges against the entire
board Of Commissioners. The board or
dered those sixteen machines against
which Representative Cary protests. and
they will stand for it. The machines
lave been ordered, will be delivered, and
will be paid for and there Is nothing
else to the matter"
Representative Cary's charges are with
the President and Mr.. Wood and Mr.. Lam
caster. who appeared at the White House
with Representative Cary, and the rep
resentative himself will give out no
copies. The general tone of the paper
Which asks for an investigation is that
the Commissioner has acted above the
law and should be censured.
Mr.. Wood was asked last night if &c
would have made these charges had he
remained in office. He said: 1T will all
Come out in the wash"
The special grievance that Representa-
tive Cary and Mr.. Wood have in the
case OF the sixteen snow-removing ma
chimes is that they arc supposed to have
been ordered by Commissioner Johnston
without Mr.. Woods knowledge The
story which was circulating around the
rnups OF Mr.. Wood s friends last night
Is that the commissioners held a score,
board session. decided To order sixteen
OF these machines and told Marion Har-

made the demand Of that gentleman.
Mr.. Macon replied that he would stand by
what he said, whereupon the reporter
made a beIligerent rush In the direction
of the gentleman from Arkansas.
Strong arms thrust the newspaper man
back. however, and he was detained in
their clutches until such time as the
anger of all had sufficiently waned to
admit of Mr.. Norris persauding Mr..
