CUTTING ON STAND|N
 INDUSTRIAL PROBE
Says Policies of Bureau of Municipal Research Have
 Been Changed

New York, January 2s.-Robert Full ton Cutting, president of the bureau of municipal research, testified before the industrial relations commission to- day that the policies of the bureau were changed considerably after John D. Rockefeller, Jr.. made certain sug- gestions and offered to donate sa0.ooo toward defraying expenses of the bu- reau for year.
 Mir. Rock efeller thought it was un-
 wise for the bureau, the prime object
 of which the witness said, was "the
 systematizing of municipal govern
 ment," to engage in publicity cam
 paign by distributing postal cards and
 pamphlets. Also he thought it inadvis-
 able that the bureau should do work
 outside the state of New York or that
 it should interest itself in technical pedagogical work in the New York public schools. At the time he expressed these opinions employees of the bureau
 were aiding in an investigation being
 conducted by another bureau of the children's court of Denver, Col, and Judge Ben B. Lindsay. who presided over it.
 MT. Rockefeller at first offered tn, money on condition that his sugges tions be complied with. The trustee: of the bureau decided they would ac | cept no conditional donations. Some l time later. however. the practice 0 l sending out postal cards and pamph | lets was discontinued and the worl outside the state curtailed. i The trustees, however, had intende, | to make the changes for a long time 1 said Mir. Cutting The bureau receives the s20,00o.
 l Other witnesses who testified toda. :, were Rev. John Haynes Holmes, pas l tor of the Church of the Messiah o l this city, and Ivy L. Lee. member o l the personal staff of John D. Rocke , feller. Sr., and one time publicity agen 1 of the Pennsylvania railroad. l Dr. Holmes said as that the teach 1 ers pension fund provided by Andrev | Carnegie was meant only for teach l CTS in nondenominational institutions all the denominational institutions wer 1 doing everything in their power 10 'ge | out of that class.

HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville, January 2s.-(Special)-Mrs Milton Humes returned to this city today after accompanying Mrs. Julia Bonelh on a tour through all the principal towns of northern Alabama for the Equal Suf- Afrage association. Interest was shown in the subject in all the towns visited, and hundreds of names were signed to the pe- titons calling upon the legislature to sub- init the question to the people.
 The crop diversifcation campaign in Madison county will start at once, and dozen demonstrators will be sent into this county February 6, when a central meet ing will be held in Huntsville. The tour of the county will be made on February B.. The local committees have all been or ganized and are at work. T. w. Pratt is chairman and O. D. Bowers is secretary
 The city commissioners have adopted resolution to present to the Alabama leg. isalture asking authority to levy mill school tax in Huntsville as means or raising funds to supply the expected deficit in the school funds when the state wide prohibition law goes into effect and stops operation of the city dispensary. Cn- less this Is allowed. it is stated there will not be enough money to run the schools as at present. General retrenchment IS being discussed by the city commission, and the most rigid economy will be neces- sary. One policeman was dropped today. The store of E.

Talking From Atlantic to Pacific Continuation of Forty Years Work
MEN WHO SHARE IN
 BIG ACHIEVEMENT
Bell, Edison, Carty and Vail All Had Hand in Perfection of the
 Model Instruments
By HOLLAND

New York. January 2S.-(Special)-Whil James R. Keene was standing alone ln the bedlam-like stock exchange on very hot day in July, 1877, resisting to the ut most those who were determined to bring on a panic and who were delivering heavy blows at the stock of the Lake Shore Railroad company, he was awaiting re- ply from San Francisco to telegram which he had sent earlier in the day. AL most at the moment when his resources were exhausted the reply came and with 1t credit for a very large amount or money. That re-enforcement enabled MT. Keene to win the day. Had the long distance telephone been completed at that time the communications between MT. Keene and San Francisco could have been made within a few moments. The long distance telephone has been utilized at critical times. By means of 1t the man agers of bank in New York were able upon the instant to transfer from one Of the leading banks at Washington to an jmperiled institution at Baltimore suf- heient funds to save the bank.
 Report was made in this column several weeks ago of the completion of the long, distance telephone apparatus between San Francisco and New York by way oi Denver, and it was also then said that the human voice was carried over this 5000 miles of wire as distinctly as though the communications were made between two buildings only a few feet apart. Il was also reported that there would be daily demonstration of the perfecting oi this apparatus at the time of the Panama exposition at San Francisco.
 Tests were made late in the fall of this apparatus, and these were satisfactory, l was thought worthy of the triumph tha there be demonstration of the apparatus at the main office of the telephone com pany in New York city, and that ther' should be invited to this demonstration many of the leaders in science in trans portation, in finance and in education

Test Submarine Projectiles

Washington. January 2s.-Tests of a submarine projectile which, fired at a range of from 6oO0 to 10000 yards. will explode under the bottom of a battleship. were conducted late yesterday at se- cluded bight in the Potomac and mem- bers of congressional and naval party which returned today were preparing to press an appropriation for further experi- ments. One of three shells fired at 1000 yards exploded successfully while two others at that distance failed. Fifteen shots were made in all.

 the public as to the cooperation, were
 undoubtedly in violation of the provisions
 of the sherman law, he acknowledged
 the authority of the law. yielded at once
 to the requests of the department of jus
 tiee at Washington, gave up his far
 reaching plans, although there must have
 been grievous disappointment and con
 viction that the plans were of themselves
 of no harmful tendency, but would be for
 the public good. That action was a moral
 triumph
 In 1876, when Professor Bell was dem- onstrating his first telephone apparatus at Philadelphia, Mr. Vail had just worked out the problem involved in the creation of the railway mail service. What he then established has since been substan- tsally tho fundamental principles upor which the railway mail service is nov operated. He became early interested ir euectrc.ty and was for som time occupied in installing carious electric plants ir South America.
 After he became president of the Amer ican Telegraph and Telephone company
 he encouraged every endeavor that was in progress for the purpose of perfectinl the telephone system The part which cience, chemistry, research, the delvine I into the mystery of electricity, played ir this high development was supplemented by the very great ability MT Wall showed | in the field of finance. for it was necessary that there be some very great financing | if the possibilities of the telephone were grasped, and especially If the urgent de mand of that great region west of thu Missouri river which was seeking far reaching expansion of the telephone, loca | and long distance, was to be met. From | the point of view of actual achievement 1 the demonstration that science has taugh the way and finance furnished the meant and organization the method by whici l it is possible to send 8 human voice ca reering over 5000 miles of wire must b. l esteemed the great achievement up t' 1 this time of Theodore N. Vail.

That the free limit for cargo and bunker coal at New Orleans had been extended to 10 days was announced yesterday by local railroad officials In the past de- murrage was charged after cargo of coal was held five days waiting for steamers. Under the new ruling by the terminal com panies cargo and bunker coal will be held free for 10 days, which is considered am pie time in almost all cases.
