ENGINEERS TELL OF
LONG xtoURS OF WORK

CHICAGO. Dec. II.-Five railroad
engineers, all of whom had regular
runs which paid them an average OF
from Sl55 to $500 a month, testified
to-day in the federal arbitration OF
the demands OF the engine crews of
western railroads. The purpose OF
their testimony was TO show that
the cost of living had advanced out
OF proportion to advance in wages.
They declared also that the engines
they ran were heavier and much more
powerful than the old locomotives and
that the roads thereby profited al
most twice as much by the labor OF
the engine crews, which fact made Il
Just that the engine crews should re.
ceive higher pay.
G. T.. Jackson. one of the witnesses.
testified that he worked long. hard
hours, and often on freight runs was

uncommon. he said. James w

him that he was acquainted with &.

Another Hit.cr-Miss Ambassador.

In giving the ambassadorship to France to Rep
resentative William G. Sharp, Of Ohio no great
violence was done to the standards set by this adj
ministration in diplomatic appointments. Mr. Sharp
has been in the lower brancL Of Congress for five
years and has served three years the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs. Beyond that he
can exhibit particular qualification for the sort
Of service which is expected Of men commissioned
to represent this country in the more important
European capitals.
There is no faint Of PindelSm about this appoint
ment. The Senate will probably not have to call
for another batch OF Jim Ham" Lewis literature.
Mr. Sharp is a successful business man. perhaps
better fitted for the French post than Mr.. Wilson's
first choice, Mr.. William F. McCombs, on whom
the President labored theoretically to bestow it.
Yet the fact that probably not half a dozen men
outside of Washington ever would have thought of
Mr. Sharp as eligible for representative a diplo-
matte position emphasizes the casual hit-or miss
manner in which ambassadors have been named
under this administration. They all harmonic
with the workings Of State Department whose
greatest achievement far has been the invention
of the policy Of "watchful waiting" Mr. Sharp
may also qualify eventually one of Secretary
Bryans best watchful walters.

AT Meadow Brook This Afternoon.

Rad luck and worse management have dogged the
steps of the challenging Brtishers at polo this year.
The early practice in Spain was failure from
every point of view Then, at the eleventh hour, IL
became apparent that Lord Wimbornes chosen
four we're sadly below international form Patriotic
pleas went forth, and Captain Cheape volunteered
With his brilliant mallet in the play the four might
lack something in team work but 1t was certain 10
give any men a fight The first practice on this
side REINFORCED this view. But luck broke against
Britain again with the injury to Captain Cheape,
and Nottingham will ride out upon the field this
afternoon with an uphill task before 1t.
Just where our new American four is to be rated
only the actual test can fix. 1t has shown various
grades of polo but If we can judge by the American
game in the past, 1t will show its best under spur
OF necessity If It does, there will be scant reason
for regretting the Big -Four that is no more.
The hope of every one will be that Captain Cheape
is sufficiently recovered to play in true form With
him at his best, dazzling, hair raising match Is
certain, with victory in doubt till the last gong.
With him out or playing only his pluck, Hurting
hams chances can scarcely be considered bright.

The Palisades Interstate Park, to be opened to

tain Park the section Of it which they saw, appears
to have made great impression on Governor Gynn

is splendid wild, rugged country, we'll wooded
spectacular enough with Its mountains and small
lakes and the nearby Hudson to make an instant
appeal to the mind and lovely enough to stand long
study and the familiarity which frequent visits give
This park, made possible by cooperation Of New
York and New Jersey and private generosity, will
never be exactly "the lungs Of New York." as Gov
ernor Glynn remarked 1t is too far away, and
there will always be some difficulty and an ap-
probable expense in getting to its loveiest spots
New York Cltys lungs will continue to be the parks
and sea beaches within the citys limits
But the Palisades Park can, and should. be a
place to bring rest and JOY to thousands with the
time and money to visit It, Plans for its develop.
ment include camp sites, dancing pavons, boats on
It's lakes, and the like. These woods and mountains
and brooks and lakes can be to thousands of the
city-bound what the Catskills and the Adirondacks
are to their more fortunate FLOWS.

A Regrettable Appointment.

1t is entirely likely that Mr.. Thomas j. McCor-
mick, just appointed warden Of Sing Sing, Is q
good plumber. 1t is certain he is a successful
politician high in favor in the Tammanyzed
Democracy. Neither count qualities him for his
new place There is nothing in his entire record to
show that he has any particular experience or apt
tude for the work Of this very important post.
The appointment merely means that Tammany, or
its Westchester appendage, has gobbled Sing Sing
for whatever there is in it for the politicians.
Clancy, the warden whose resignation made this
appointment possible, declared that he was forced
out by politicians whose dictates he would not obey
1t isn't likely the will resign on any such
ground. Mr.. Mccormick may be an estimable citizen
and honor to his party Nevertheless, his APP
pointment is long step backward at time when
long steps forward in prison management and the
betterment Of prison conditions are Imperative

No Money for the Subway Easement.

Though the Board Of Estimate has approved the
Spruce street route for the new subway to be used
in case Secretary McAdoo persists in demands for
compensation for an easement under the postofice
which the city cannot meet, T. is to be hoped this
route will never be used. 1t will not be II he .nd
the city authorities faithfully and ntelligenty serve
the interests they represent.
The Public Service Commission is willing to bear
the burden Of preserving the postofce building In
good and safe condition 1t is willing also to install
mail chutes and mail platforms in connection with
the new subway, II 1t is allowed to run beneath
the postofice.
Such an arrangement is understood to have been
agreed on by the real estate experts representing
the federal government and the local authorities
and TO be the burden of formal report they are
about 10 make. 1t is fair and sensible settlement
OF the matter. Any other arrangement would
penalize the city and gain nothing for the United
States.
