Commissioner Suspicious.

Healey said he was tventy-one years
old. Later under cross examination by
Florence Sullivan, counsel for Roane,
he said he was twenty-th When
asked TO explain this difference he said
he did not know how old he was. He
did not deny his many arrests and con-
victions and admitted that he had used
three different names when arrested.
To support his story he first brought
forward John Shea, companion OF his
own age, living at No. 242 Spring
street. Shea corroborated Healey 5

Says City Demands That He
Destroy Police System
Will Get Full Credit
for His Work.

The chief question as TO the fusion
ticket which arose yesterday-whethcf
District Attorney Whitman would accept
the nomination for return to his old
office-was commented upon last night by
Norman Hapgood, chairman OF the Ciu-
Gems Municipal Committee. follows;
District Attorney Whitman has before
him wonderful opportunity for service
to this city-an opportunity scarcely. If
at all, inferior 10 the one which he has
already 30 magnihcently met. To eXtir-
pate the police System requires the CO.
operation of two forces-the Mayor and
the District Attorney. Mr.. Whitman has
done all that a human being could do in
his office, while that office which ought
to cooperate with his has worked most
energetically against him.
with superb courage and equal ability
he has driven past Mayor Gaynor's re-
sistance into the very heart Of the Grim
inal world. and made such fragrant eX-
amples that the whole country has APP
plauded. Although the System itself has
not been touched. the powerful work OF
the District Attorney has alarmed the
CRIMINALS 10 such an extent thdl 'he 6Vou
results can be seen in the ordinary lives
of the citizens in many OF the more un-
protected parts of the city.
Now, Mr.. Whitman Is the ideal man
10 so ahead, and on this glorious record
found another not less glorious Having
in the Mayors Office a man who Will en-
Enthusiastically and earnestly cooperate
with him. ne can do more than any one
else actually to end the System ano
make Of the police force body OF men
actuated by ideals as high as those in the
army.
THAT the System still exists scarcely
needs demonstration TO any one accus-
toned to rejecting even in the simplest
way upon municipal affairs. We know
that when one police inspector who had
given information 20 Mr. Whitman died

$4,000 CUT IN RATES
California Commission Assails
Wells Fargo Methods.

San Francisco, Aug. The state Kali
road Commission ordered reductions to-
day I'm Wells Fargo & Co express rates
amounting to a cut OF $4,000 from pres
ent annual revenues. Every rate OF the
company In tais state Is abolished hy
the order. which is effective october |.
and over three million new rates are de-
viscd
The express company is ordered to op-
crate six months on the commission
rates, which apply only 10 California and
are on the average, Is per cent below
those heretofore eXacted. and then TO sub
nit n statement OF It's earnings, II II
feels the rates not justified. At present,
the commission finds. the company makes
a net yearly proht OF Ss42.o g7, on n prop
erty valuation estimated at s6l3, e33. or 1856
per cent on It's investment.
The finding pronounces the company "a
parasite on the railroads. and suggests
that instead of appealing 10 the Interstate
Commerce Commission for permission TO
increase its rates, the railroads look into
this express situation and possibly they
will hnd some relief from at least por-
ton OF the financial difficulties which
they maintain. beset them"
The commission finds a side light on
this question in the intercorporate rela-
tionship between railroads and the ex-
press company, which, 1t says, makes
fraud possible upon both the railroads and
the public" 1t cites the fact that the
Wells-Fargo company pays 10 the Santa
Fe Railroad IS per cent OF its gross earn
ings On that line and to the Southern
Pacific Railroad only 4os per cent. This.
the finding asserts. enables the Southern
Pacific TO sacrifice its own earnings TO
swell Wells. Fargo & Co. s revenue" The
commission estimates that the Southern
Pacific in effect pays to the Wells-Fargo
company S2,500,000 annually more than II
should on all business In California. This
amount, the commission says. must come
in the long run from the railroads pa
irons
The decision follows two and one-hali
years OF investigation. during which more
than 10000 way bills were scrutinized.

HAPGOOD SURE WHITMAN WILL
RUN FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY

, there was not one single member OF the
force 20 which ne had belonged found will
ing TO 20 10 the church and do him final
honors. on the other hand. we are sure
that those inspectors who are now In jail
through Mr. Whitmans efforts are being
taken care Of by the immense corruption
fund that is constantly used for purposes
which only the most complete insiders
fully understand.
We know that members of the police
force have shamelessly and emphatically
treated as heroes members OF their BODY
who have refused to give information.
Even as brilliant a District Attorney as
Mr.. Whitman, with an uneXampled record
for success, cannot put an end TO this
System by himself, and even as well
equipped and courageous a Mayor as Mr..
Mitchell will be cannot put an end to IT
unless he has the cooperation OF the Dis
trict Attorney
Their work IS one work. II that work
is accomplished. the credit OF il will be
equally divided Certainly. the lesser
share will not go TO the man who. after
the most brilliant record ever established
back to the same ONCE in order 10 make
possible this complete fundamental, con-
structive handling OF an evil which has
defed the citizens Of New York for so
many decades.
III Mr. Whitman refuses to run, the
chances Of carrying New York County
for this office will he immensely dimin-
ished. Tammany will put forward the
very best man for the purpose that can
be found in their ranks. They will put
forward respectable man, an able man,
man VINO specifically might be called
honest, but one who will make il abso-
lutely impossible TO carry this regenerat-
ing movement further than II has been
carried by Mr.. Whitmans unaided eff
forts
II personally am entirely sure that Dis
trict Attorney Whitman is not a man
who plays only a lone hand. l am sure
that he is q big man. and that when he
looks full in the face the fact that the
fundamental welfare OF this city depends
on him he will rise 10 the emergency and
make a city which Is proud OF him still

DISCUSSES Mr.. WHITMAN
World" Says It's Unthinkable
He'd Aid Tammany.

The World" under the heading NO
Assistant Tammany Ticket" says edi-
torially this morning:
After his Ions years Of truly admirable
public service in New York it is unthlnk-
able that Charles S. Whitman should
make himself the tool OF disgruntled Re
publican politicians by becoming an as
sistant Tammany candidate for Mayor.
That is what It would mean II Mr..
Whitman Listened TO the advice of those
Republicans who urge him TO refuse the
fusion denomination for District Attorney
and accept a nomination for Mayor on
the Republican ticket Such action would
elect Murphy's Mayor and Murphy's en-
tire ticket. Not only would 1t turn New
York City back 10 Tammany, but it
would brand the Republican organization
as an enemy Of the public welfare.
Under that burden no political party
could rehabilitate itself. and no party
needs rehabilitation more than the Repuo-
lican party. Nh Whitman's whole record
OF public service is the strongest guaran-
tee against his coveting such tainted
honor"

Whitman Is Undecided.
District Attorney Whitman left his
office on Thursday afternoon for the
. weekend. and while he has not made
any statement or comment upon the
action Of the fusion committee, he was
IN communication with his friends by
telephone yesterday.
Mr.. Whitman's position, his friends
said afterward, was not materially diff
ferent from that taken by Mr.. Nc
Aneny He had decided no more than
that he would think the matter over
for a few days before saying whether
he would accept the proffered designa-
tion for a return to his present Office
A. f. Stilger, president of the West
Side Business Mems Association, which
has been carrying on an independent
movement for Whtman's nomination.
declared that unless Mr.. Whitman
. specifically prohibited such action his
organization would nominate the Dis
trict Attorney for Mayor by petition.
Stilger and the managers Of the Whit
man leagues now have in hand nomi-
mating petition containing more than
five thousand names. thousand more
than is required by the primary law. 1t
is ready to file when independent nomi-
nations are in order
on the Tammany side Of the polti-
cal fence the Mitchell nomination was
generally accepted as one that would
make things easier" for the Demo-
cratic machine organization. The two
candidates most considered for head OF
the Tammany ticket were Mayor Gay
nor and Justice Victor J. bowling
Tammany politicians expressed belief
yesterday that either could defeat
Mitchell If Whitman had been nomi-
mated. il was generally understood that
the Tammany plan would have been
TO renominate Mayor Gaynor, and let
him take a licking" on his personal
record Of opposition TO the District At
torney's purge of the Police Depart
ment.
Talk of nominating Justice bowling
was heard after the Mitchell nomina-
ton. II had been accepted for long
time in Tammany circles that Murphy
would run Justice Bowling only when
the outlook was good, and the mention
of his name yesterday, following
Mitchers nomination, furnished the
best indication of the real opinion OF
Tammany of Mitchel's strength.
Robert Z. Bowling, president Of the
City Investing Company was men
toned frequently yesterday as prob
able Tammany candidate for Con-
troller. His record as a big business
