NEW PROBLEM FOR

FIGURES VARY GREATLY

FOR the frst time since the Public Ser
MOO Commission began to let contracts
for the construction Of the new subways
Q contractor has been obliged to bid on
the uncertain factor OF safety to trains
and passengers In transit. The result
was that the diffsrsnces In the bids Of
I'VE contractors were greater than here
tofore In the experience OF the commits
sion.
Tho section which produced the queer
figures was the connection between the
new Seventh avenue subway and the ex-
listing line at Times Square, short
stretch OF track beginning 100 feet south
Of Forty third street and running to the
northern end of the square. where the
Seventh avenue trains will come up TO the
level Of the present subway
Judge Mccall. chairman Of the commits
sion. said yesterday that IL was the most
ticklish bit Of subway construction that
the city has undertaken. The real DIM

Frank Hediey. general manager Of the

"'SUN" CANAL EDITORIAL

Says There VIII Never BE q
Lower Ton Rate Of Tolls
Than 75 Cents.

WASH INGroN, March l2.-Chairman
Adamson Of the House Committee on In
terstatc and Foreign Commerce when
shown THE SUN editorial OF to-day en-
titled Need the President Proclaim Any
Canal Tolls at Present. p said:
THE SUNS presentation Of the sup
posediy complex situation is interesting.
and without doubt on the face OF the
situation there 10 the suggested conflict
as between the statutory law Of the act
Of August -. 1919. and the HayPsunce-
fote treaty Of 1902. but Il must not be
forgotten that the statutes enacted
BY Congress serve to abrogate any treaty
provision with which they come in con-
nict. The President obeys. under ordinary
circumstances. the law Of the land AZ
expressed in treaties. but when the con-
fict between the treaty and the statute
arises ths treaty gives way.
I'm other words, without the statutory
conflict the President would. as the ed-
torial says. obey the express prohibition
contained In article III. of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. but on the other hand
the act OF 1912 amended the treaty In
% far a. the Presidents duties and
powers are concerned. II by act Of Con-
RToo mo fTeSiO0ut IL COfnpttcu ~ w

With regard to the minimum tolls pro-

Mr.. AdAmsou supplemented his analy-
sis Of the editorial by saying:
And furthermore we shall never see a
time when q tonnage rate OF less than
the equivalent Of 75 cents will suffice
more than to meet the expenses Of upkeey

Ing committee to-day THAI he had re-
ccived a retainer OF $1,000 from the

for the fee and that he had expected -
receive $4,000 additional AZ contingent
fee He declared he had asked for the
payment Of this additional amount after
the bill became a law. but the Fore River
company refused to pay 1t and he did not
press the matter.
The witness admitted that his con-
tract was based on q certain form OF
legislation that would enable the Fore
River company to get contracts for build.
ing additional ships and that he assumed
the reason the company declined to pap
the additional fee was that the corpora
ton was not satisfied with tho form the
legislation finally took.
Mr.. DE Knight was requested by the
COMMITTEES to produce the contract with
AuUiiIbi kpD"too auu aStccu W uo ~
later. He told the committee that the
newspaper stories connecting him with
the lobby were inspired by a woman
stenographer who was discharged by him
He testified that he knew Of no organised
effort to make q night against the repeal
Of the tolls exemption clause and de.
MED specifically that he had written any
letters or held any conference looking
to an organised movement to Oppose
the repeal Of the canal tolls exemption
legislation.
The witness explained his former ON
cial relations with public men. He said
that he was at one time secretary 70
Senator A. =. German. later clerk OF
the Committee on Naval Affairs. and for
a time was private secretary Of the First
Assistant Postmaster General
He admitted that he had prepared bills
for some of his clients and asked Sena-
tors and Representatives 20 introduce
them. The witness was asked II he had
