To attend a meeting of this National
Woman's Trade Union League is more
than a liberal education. 1t is a world
of which few are aware. The delegates
and the officers are women who are as
little understood by their fellow shirt

are by that class of women to whom a
strike is a bit OF disorderly conduct

quences.

TOAST TRENCH UNDERWEAR
Austrians Invent Electric Heated Gar
ments for Shippers.


Washington, Dec. 8. - Electrically
heated underwear Is the latest inven-
ton of Austrian genius to mitigate life
in the trenches through the coming
winter. Garments have been devised
on the principle used in the little ma
chimes that toast bread on the break
fast table, and thus equipped the Aus
trian sniper can lie comfortably out in
the snow and pot enemies at 30 below
without danger to his ears ard toes.
The system, so far as has been re-
ported, does not work by wireless as
yet, so it has the disadvantage of
hitching the electrical soldier to his
base of heat supply. But he will have
about the same radius of action as a
vacuum sweeper.
The plan is to weave into the fabric
light electric wires and connect these
TO a cable that runs along the back Of
the trench. The wires can be put into
whatever part of the garment or into
whatever. garments desired. Thus thu
soldier with cold feet can get electric
socks. the one with cold ears electric
headgear, he whose fingers freeze,
heated mittens, and the one that is
cold all over a complete suit of under
wear. The current costs about a cent
an hour man, and the garments about
500 each

OWN LINES FRANCHISE
Estimate Board Committees
Recommendation Likely to
Win for New York Co.

The Board of Estimate closed Its
hearings yesterday on the new motor
bus routes for Manhattan. The New
York Motor Bus Company and the
Fifth Avenue Coach Company, sub
sidiary of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company, which operates the
existing routes, are the applicants for
the franchise. Acting Mayor McAneny
declined to forecast which company
would win, but as the franchise COM
mittee of the board has recommended
the Motor Bus Company proposal 1t is
likely that that company will get the
franchise.
A series of exciting tits between
cambridge Colby, counsel for the bus
company, and william D. Guthrie,
counsel for the Interborough, eniiv-
ered the final hearing. Glaring ct Mr..
Guthrie, Mr.. Colby said;
at is a grewsome spectacle to wit
ness counsel for the lnterborough OPP
posing an application for a franchise
from the Fifth Avenue Coach Com
pany, which is not only dominated but
controlled by the lnterborough. This
company seeks q franchise sought by
the New York Motor Bus Company,
but the Interborough counsel pretends
to oppose both applications. The In
terborough owns at least 30 per cent
of the Fifth Avenue company's stock.
Four of its nine directors are directors
of the Fifth Avenue. President Shonts
is one of them. | am informed that
Mr.. Shonts Of the Interborough, as q
director of the Fifth Avenue, voted to
ask for the franchise. | ask to be cor
rected if this is not true
1--WE do not know how Mr.. Shonts
voted" interposed William II. Page, OF
the Fifth Avenue company.
"The Interborough game Of accel,,

"You are the last 70 talk about &C
celeration," interrupted Mr.. Guthrie.
You have sent out letters 10 citIIe,S
begging them to come here and help

Produce the letters" shouted Mr..
Colby.
After an hours hunt Mr.. Guthrie
produced a letter which, in substance,
notified the citizens that the Fifth Ave
nue. company sought an additional
franchise desired by the New York
BUS Company. Mr.. Colby declared he
would be proud to acknowledge the
authorship of the letter, If he wrote 1t.
He angrily denied, however. that he

Ex-President of New Haven
Fails to Remember Alleged
Talk with Prosecutor.

Charles S. Mellen, who for weeks
has amazed the court in the New
Haven trial by his remembrance OF
countless details In thirty years Of New
England railroading, nonplussed the
government attorneys yesterday by his
inability to recall on the witness stand
a conversation they thought they had
with him an hour or so before in the
Federal building corridor.
Frank NJ. Swacker WAS questioning
Mellen in regard to an investigation by
the government threatened in 1912 into
whether the New Haven had agree
ments with the Grand Trunk to sup
press competition. lie was trying to
get from the witness what advice E. d.
Robbins. general counsel for the
New Haven, gave Mr.. Mellen in view
of the impending trouble.
did Mr.. Robbins say TO you, We
won't have leg to stand on II the in
vestigation goes into the question Of
monopoly" Swscker asked.
81 don't recall that he said that"
Mellen replied.
"Why, Mr.. Mellen, isn't it fact that
you had discussion with me in the
corridor of this building a short while
ago to-day and made that statement
Swacker said.
'If you say so, won't dispute you"
Mellen replied, his face flushing.
Swacker's voice hardened with in
sistence. as he reiterated, "Did you not
tell me that Mr.. Robbins said thst?'
Didn't Recall Statement.
az won't dispute you If you say
did, but don't recall that made any
such statement to YOU" Mellen said
Michael Kenealy, counsel for Rob-
bins, objected to evidence IN regard TO
what Robbins said to Mellen on the
ground that it was advice given by
counsel TO client.
The court ruled against him, and
Mellen said that he had many CONVEX

the threatened lDNeStlbdllOn. All NeI6

tion would bring about financial and
legislative confusion for the New

During the morning session Mellen
told of his efforts TO stand between

government Investigators in regard to
Morgan's part in the Grand Trunk
agreements.
IL wrote to Henry A. Wise, United
States Attorney, offering TO waive i'm
munity and go before the grand jury
TO tell 1t everything" Mellen said.
"The papers were filled with a lot Of
attacks and stories about the Grand

put the attacks on the New Haven on

"Why did you want 70 appear before
the grand jury?" r. V. Lindabury, of
counsel for the defence, asked.

II was hers. He declared that he had a
perfect right as a member Of the COM
mission TO accept a retainer from a
client, and he had no excuse to offer for
his statement that when he became
chairman Of the Public Service Com
mission 1t was with the knowledge that
he was going TO practise law whenever
the opportunity offered.
Mccall insisted that he had made a
legal transfer Of the 387 shares Of
stock 70 his wife. He quoted legal au-
thorities TO prove this.

sis, declaring il to be an irrevocsble

Mccall said he did not believe that
because his wife held the stock he was
disqualified from serving as chairman

accused the Deputy Attorney General
of demanding his removal not on the
law as it stands but upon changes 'haI

dence that the stocks were not no"

About this time Mccall grew "hi'o

ing his finger, he referred 70 the
charges on this point as contempt

have cast a vote in the Amsterdam
Light case when Il was before the com
mission, but ne added that IL was with
a sense Of propriety that he refrained
from voting on the case.
Calls II Vile SANDER.
Mccall referred 70 the committees
charges in the Amsterdam case as
vile and miserable Islander.
II now openly say" Mccall thun-
dered, shat II was done with malice

how Insignificant the charge that the

There were put in evidence com
munications from Attorney General
George w. Wickersbsm, written in
1912, to Mellsn, asking whether the
simultaneous suspension Of certain
building operations by the New Haven
and the Grand Trunk did not indicate
an agreement contrary to law. Mr..
Mellen replied, disavowing that tlere
were any such agreements. Mr.. Wick
ersham then wrote:
81 find that the Grand Trunk Rail-
way Company secured from the states
of Massachusetts and Rhode Island
charters Of incorporation on somewhat
unusually favorable terms by reason Of
solemn representations TO the effect
that the railway from Palmer TO Provi-
dence would be constructed independ-
emily of any traffic agreement with your
system; that the State of Rhode Island
and the City of Providence have ex-
pended very large sums Of money in
aid of this ENTERPRISE, and that the sud
den stoppage of work and apparent
abandonment of the enterprise, coupled
with the information that traffic ar
engagements, which had always been de-
MED by the New Haven system to the
Grand Trunk, have recently been con-
coded, has awakened very great feel
ing of popular indignation in the states
affected, in view of which and of state
ments made to me by various persons
interested and by officials of those
states ] have deemed it necessary to
direct thorough investigation of the
whole matter"
