STRAWSTACK

3 Aurora, ILL.,, Sept. l3-Three girls
who escaped from the Illinois state
home for girls at Geneva, last Monday
were found living in primitive fashion
in cell like rooms which had been
fashioned in straw stack for them
by young men with whom they mated
like ante-civilization days.
Each night the men, employed in
Geneva, brought supply of food. The
girls, 16, II and IS years old with the
three young men were lodged in the

that the st. Louis River Mercantile

where was your office Mr..
Schlenk?" asked Mr.. Power. 'Oh
in the brick block" replied the

GOOD FARCE AT THE FAY.

The members of the EpWOrth
Leaeue of the First NJ. E. church
Of Virginia are giving musical
farce at the Fay opera house next
Friday that promises to be about
the best thing Of the kind that
was ever given in Virginia.
The name Of the production is
the ':Singing School, and the caste
of characters contains some of the
best musicians in the city.
The play deals with the old time
singing school, as its title suggests
and is so screamimgly funny, that
even to look over the program is
enough to make susceptible man
laugh.
In the first act the pupils are
Seen carefully studying their music
lesson preparatory to giving the
annual school concert. Their ef-
forts to- master the rudiments of
harmony are simply killing to- say
nothing of the humor of their in
structor Professor Pippin.
The second act shows the much
expected concert and the pupils
struggling With their unlearned
lessons. incidentally it is we'll to
mention that the numbers given In
the actual concert are all entirely
different from those supposedly
learned. The production gives
the opportunity for some very ex-
cellent playing and the popular
music, needleys, choruses and solos
rendered will be weld worth 60
ing a long way to hear.
Of course in the end the pro-
lessor marrics the girl of his heart
much to the amusement of the on
lockers and everybody goes home
happy.

MAKES HENNESSY ATTACK
Officeholder Swears He Called
SulZer a Liar"

Thomas G. quinn. one-time editor Of
The New York Daily News" and State
Supervisor of Public Records, has made
an affidavit. which was given out at Nc
Call headquarters at the Hotel Martinique
last night TO the effect that John \.
Hcnnessy, investigator for former Gov
ernor Sulzer, had told him QUINN in a
conversation he had with Mr.. Hennessy
in Albany on October l6 that Sulzer was
a "liar" and that ne was through with
him"
Mr. Quinn swore that he met NennesSy
ION the north side of Lancaster street,
in Albany, on the afternoon OF october TO-
when the following conversation, in part,
ensued:
"Hennessy said: Well. Tom, what do
Won think Of the situation. anyhow
"Ny reply was that | was tired and dis

him II his friend Sulzer didn't resign he
would be put out. Mr.. Hennessy then

SULZER MAY ELECT LEVY.
HIS ENEMY IN ASSEMBLY
Candidacy Complicates Fight,
and He Fails to Reconcile
Tammany Mans Opponents.

Former Governor Sulzer put in his
heaviest work yesterday at his headquar-
ters, In the Broadway Central Hotel, maxi
INK a last vain effort To straightcn out
the tangle into which his Progressive
candidacy for the Assembly has thrown
the Municipal Court fight in the judicial
district which takes in the 9Th Assembly
District where he is running.
Justice Gustav Hartman, the present
incumbent who has been renominated by
the Republicans. received assurances be-
fore the advent of Sulzer as candidate
that the Progrcssivcs would indorse him.
thereby giving the fusion ticket In that
instance some hope of triumphlnC over
Aaron j. Levy. the Tammany leader of
the Assembly who is the Tammany nomi-
nee for the Municipal Court
When Sulzcr came into the situation,
however. and began To sweep IN" East
Side, as IL Is admitted on all sides he is
doing the Progressives not only insisted
on retaining David Goldstein for Nh
nicipal Court justice on their ticket, but
also added the candidacy OF Max Steind-
Ter as Progressive. standing for the
Board OF Aldermen from the 9Th District
on the court fight the peculiar situa-
ton IL thus brought forth that Sulzer. by
his own entry into the campaign in that
particular district. has actually made al
most certain the election OF Levy, and
il Is common knowledge that Sulzer holds
Levy more responsible than any other
man. except Murphy himself. for his i'm
parchment and removal from office.
The peculiar twist Of the situation by
which he might actually aid in the cleo
ton Of his enemy Levy. by splitting the
vote against the Tammany nominee. was
explained to Sulzer just before he con-
scented 10 accept the Progressive Assem-
bly, nomination. and that situation was
used a. an argument TO dissuade hin
from entering the Assembly fight But
at that time, which was just one week
from last night. Sulzer brushed all such
argument aside with the response that he
would be able to prevail upon either Hart
mann or Goldsteln to withdraw.
Sulzer had the two men, Hartman anc
Goldstein, with him again yesterday. but
his arguments anent withdrawal fell or
deaf ears. and East Side political leaders
say that split anti-Tammany vote In
that district simply will insure Levy's
election.

Departmental Duties.

The department which maintains the
collection and distribution of water for
the City of New York has imposed upon
it the control over the gas and electric
light service, the payment of the public
bills for light and power and the control
of the installation Of proper electrical de-
vices in the buildings erected in the city.
and also. together with the borough pres
idents, as We have said, the granting or
permits FOR opening streets for electrical
conduits, opening the streets for the ex-
tension of water service and the connec-
ton of the water, electrical and gas ser
vice with adjacent property. When the
pavements have been destroyed or broken
to permit this work, il rests with the Bu-
reau of Highways of the borough presi-
dents offices, an entirely separate de-
partment for the Department of Water
Supply to see that the repair is made.
The Controller next took up the man
agement Of our several groups Of city
hospitals.
while there is not so great loss in
efficiency or so much of added cost In
volved in segregated hospital control as
in the other instances cited, ne salu'
there would seem TO be little logic In
the present hospital programme of the
city. There are now three centres direct
ing public hospitals: First, the Bellevue
and Allied Hospitals; second. the Depart
ment of Health, with the contagious dis
eases hospitals and sanatorium for in
cipient tuberculosis, and, third the De-
partment OF Public Charities, with It's
general hospitals for the city's poor and
its tuberculosis sanatoriums.
1T would seem that the best business
results for the city should be obtained by
placing all OF these agencies for the care
of the sick or injured under one respon-
sible control. which could be done with
out in any way interfering with the work
Of the Department of Health or the De-
partment Of Public Charities in their own

Good Government Hampered.


The governmental framework Of the
city originally adopted from other mu-
inequalities in the first charter (mostly
from old New York;, plus such modifica-
tons as were made in the charter re-
vision four years afterward, upon which
also have been superimposed other depart
mental activities created by statutes from
time TO time, IS very cumbersome in many
Of its features, and was originally planned
with a view Of allowing a continuance OF
government after consolidation under old
conditions with as little jar as possible
rather than as an attempt TO set up a
model city plan
The result is that we have many over
tapping governmental functions, each one
good in itself, but to the last degree
wasteful in operation. Take, for instance,
those functions which affect the erection
Of building The plans for the building
have to be approved by the Bureau OF
Buildings, a subordinate bureau in the
Offices Of the Borough Presidents. During
construction the work is inspected by the
representatives Of that bureau to see that
the plans filed are carried out in those
particulars required by statute or by
ordinance. Then the Fire Prevention Blu
Ieau comes in if the building is anything
but a private residence. That bureau has
It's corps of inspectors, as does the De-
partment of Water Supply, Gas and Elec-
tricity through it's electrical bureau, TO
see that the laws and ordinances are Cd
served. If electricity is installed.
IF it is a building erected for the city
the department under the jurisdiction oil
which the building is constructed also has
on the Job its architect or chief engineer,
with their inspection forces, and, finally
as basis for the payment of the BILL In
case OF a public structure, the Finance
Departments engineers and inspectors are
required to take hand. II the structure
rs tenement house there is another
superimposed series Of permits and In
spections to enforce compliance with the
tenement house law. When the tenement
mouse is completed IT is subject to periodi-
cal Inspection OF the tenement house in
spectors and also the inspections OF the
Department OF Health.
Centralized Authority Needed
We may probably say, as a starting
point toward reviewing hnderance to
econcmy, that all city activities which
Pertain TO the erection of a building,
whether public or private. involving the

Licenses and Permits.

Continuing, the Controller said:
Another type of decentralized activity
in our city government which might be
intelligentIy brought under one head Is
the jurisdiction of the various forms OF
licenses and permits. which range from
the push cart license to that for theatrl-
cal performance, and included in the list
are licenses for cabs, taxicabs, etc. for
moving picture shows. for all those per-
mits granted by the Board of Aldermen,
the licenses for employment agencies and
for concert halls, dance halls. etc. These
are now segregated under the jurisdlc-
ton of the Bureau of Licenses of the
Mayors office, the Commissioner of LIZ
censes. the Board of Aldermen and the
Police Department. In the matter or
theatrical and moving picture licenses
there is a multiplication of inspection and
permit which includes the Fire Depart
ment with the Police Department and the
Electrical Bureau OF the Department OF
Water Supply. Gas and Electricity.
"A central purchasing agency, which
recommended to the Legislature this year,
il another attempt to bring about econ
omy and efficiency in city administration
by centralizing in one place a function
which was ineffcientiy and wastefully
carried out throughout the city In large
number of centres.
ut is probable that great economy
and a very large increase in efficiency
would be brought about by the centrali-
zation of the civil, mechanical, electrical
and architectural engineering forces oil
the city AS 1t is now. these forces are
very largely working in localized centres
without regard TO what other centres are
doing
can you give me an example from the
experience in your own office OF what
YOU mean by the kind of saving with In
creased efficiency which can be accom-
nIisbed without charter changes? the
controller was asked
