CITY ENGINEER JOHN ERICSSON ACCUSED OF
DOUBLE-CROSSING CITY AT HOT SESSION

Inc commonwealth E0l6On CON-
pany's hand in politics was mention
ed before the city council finance
committee yesterday. John Eriscol,
chief city engineer, was asked wheth-
er he is on the payroll of other cor
porations than the city of Chicago.
Aids. Harding, Merriam, Long and
Richert shot pointed questions at
Ericsson and the, resolution adopted
by the committee classes Ericsson as
double-crossing the city. ~.
Ericsson was called, before the COM
mittee to explain why, as member
of the Cooley commission appointed
by the sanitary district; board, he
signed report which knocks the
publicly owned lighting plant of the
district and advises showing up the
city's light cost $12O, 600 a year.
Whom do you think you repre-
sented-the Commonwealth Edison
Co., the city of Chicago or the sani-
tary district :" AID. Harding asked.
81 represented nobody but myself
as an engineer" said Ericsson. T..
"Do you understand that the report
you signed will be- used to discredit
the largest public electric light plant
in the United States?" put in Mer-
riam. p, 81. z,..~ = -. p = -
81 don't know -. -.
Don't you know that the Com
monwealth Edison Co., the hydro
electric trust and -alf opponents Of
public ownership welcome this re-
port?'"
Perhaps that's true, but we had to
state the facts"
Ericsson explained that he took a
place on the Cooley commission with
the approval of Public Works Com
missioner Mccain. ...,...... .-
Aid. Long wanted to know how a
man in Ericson's place can ride two
horses going in two different direc-
tons at the same time. He asked:
do you think your attitude was
officially consistent with your position
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-12-12

IerenI report WIN the IacIS naQ De-
fore me"
Under pressure Ericsson then adj
mitted he had not gone out and got
hold of the facts for himself about the
Lockport plant. He signed the report
on the basis of "facts collected by
employees of Lyman E. Cooley, the
sanitary district chief engineer"
'eeYeu based your conclusions on
data supplied you by, other persons?"
Aid. Lipps, queried. =,
eyes, absolutely" said the chief en-
gineer.
The whole question of city officials
working for the city and for outside
interests at the same time will come
before the city council when the reso-
luton adopted yesterday is brought
in. The resolution passed unani-
mously "repudiates the report (of the
Cooley commission) and the unau-
thorized action of city officials in
making the same"
City Electrician. Ray Palmer
signed a report of last year knocking
the Lockport plant. He stands in
about the same position as Ericsson.
VIM. D. Barber, an assistant city en-
gineer, was discharged this year for
the sole and only reason that he wrote
an article printed in an engineering
magazine criticizing the city's water
plant These things will be brought
out in council meeting next Monday
night. ..- 49,
The Lockport plant is owned by the
people through the sanitary district
board, whose trustees are elected by
the voters of the district. The plant
is worth about $5,000,000, according
to the figures of minority trustees.
At this valuation the district is max
ing money and running good bust
ness; The Cooley commission,
backed by majority of the sanitary
district trustees, values the plant
above $6,OO0,00O. On this valuation,

SUPERBAS READY;
STORM HALTS GAME
Robinson to Take Pitchers
in Hand as He Did
with Giants.

Augusta Ga. March 7.-Wibert Rob-
inson had the stage set for q nine-innlns
battle at Warren Park this afternoon
when rain, hail and snow for about fifteen
minutes caused the calling off OF the game.
In less than half an hour the sun was
out as bright as ever, but by this time
the players were dressed and on their way
back to the hotel
As In the previous scrub games, Aitchin-
son and Brown opposed each other. but I'm
the short period Of play neither twlrler
had much OF an opportunity 10 display
his wares. The morning was devoted TO a
good two hours ork-out confined mostly
TO practice in the sliding pit and the field
ing OF bunts by the dozen or more pitch
ers None Of the pitchers so far has COM
planned OF sore arm, which Is remark
able. when the number working out is
considered. Some time early next week
the Superbas' new boss will take the
pitchers under his wing. the same as he
did with Marquard and Tesreau. Two
home plates have been placed In position
near the handball court, where two OF the
five catchers will always be busy handling
the veterans and recruits
This morning telegram was received
by Robinson from President Ebbets, IN
which the latter stated that Egan would
report on March 10, after spending a
week at West Baden. II also stated thar

YANKEES OPENING
GAME BATTING bee
Beaumont Buried Under
Avalanche of Hits by
New Workers.

Beaumont, Tex. March Frank
Chances regulars cufred Beaumont all
over its lot in the first exhibition game of
the season here to-day. and won almost
al will by the score Of Q to >.
After the second inning IL was simply
question of the size OF the score. w.
Smith, college pitcher, who is making a
bid for n Job with the Oilers, pitched as
only rah-rah boys know how. He was
'all IN" after the FIRST chapter In the
second round he fell victim 10 slug
fest that cost him I've runs, and never
afterward was he able 10 adjust his toe
weight.
From a New York point Of view the
battle was all that could be expected.
The weather was raw. despite bright
sun. and the athletes were warned by
Tom DAILY. who had charge of the play,
not to take any unnecessary chances.
The form of king" Cole was perhaps
most gratifying, for he hurled five of the
innings in a manner that had the "bush-
ers" completely "bullaloed." Only two
men reached first during his reign. and
one Of these was handed a double be-
cause little Gilhooley. who played the
sun field, forgot his smoked glasses. lie
had TO duck to save his face. The other
who opened an inning with clean single
was smothered stealing.
