!. GRAF :
.s.. r.-- .--.-a. -I---

New York, Feb. .2S.-The Sullivan
committee, new graft Investigation
committee appointed by the lower
house Of the legislature, held it's first
public hearing in the city hall with
former Governor Sulzer and John A,
Hennessey as the principal witnesses.
Sulzer said the information of graft
in the state highway department came
to him during his campaign for gov
ernor. In accordance with pre-elec-
tion promises, he appointed commit
tee to investigate the report.
They only investigated sixty days.
said Sulzer, "but they found out
enough to convince me that every de-
partment Of the state was honeycomb-
ed with graft. Hennessey, working on
the highway graft, checked forty roads
In twenty-five counties and found
their construction fraudulent. The
taxpayers have been defrauded Of mil
lions and millions of dollars. Hennes-
eey informed me that about 80 per
cent of the cost of the roads went for
their actual construction and the rest
was stolen.

Gently laid before the United States
government d radical plan for solving
the immigration problem, spoke here
before the League Of Political Educa-
tion. a.E
His suggestion to the league is that
immigration be limited to 5 per cent
annually of the members Of each race
already naturalized in the United
States with their American born chill
dren. This rate, he pointed out, would
permit the entrance of all who might
come from the north of Europe, cut
down the immigration from the south
Of Europe and permit only slight i'm
migration from Asia.

William s. Benton, a British sub

ex-bandit. He took the first oc-
casion in parliament to announce
that the government. would await
action by the United States. In
the meantime the British consul
has begun an investigation of the
circumstances of the death and he
will report to his home Office. The
foreign minister has no hope, how
ever, of gathering more facts than
will be learned by American in
vestigators because of his lack Of
authority TO compel witnesses to
testify. The Significance OF the
pronouncement Of Sir Edward Grey
lay in the fact Of his quick recog-
milton. that the Monroe doctrine
covered the situation.
