has ever made since then would be his final
one. But don't believe anything of the kind.
He has wonderful knack OF coming back

than at any time in the past ten years"
Though ffty-two years old, Mr.. Sunday. is
as active as boy of sixteen. Sometimes he
plunges from the platform to the sawdust floor
beneath, distance OF nearly eight feet. And
it is not slide either; il is legitimate Jump.
The audience holds its breath and awaits the
announcement that the preacher is injured,
but in few moments he is up again and slid
ing ito base across the platform. He does
these things to emphasize certain supremely
dramatic points in his discourse.
To keep himself physically fit he has en-
gagged the services of an ex-prizehghter, Jack

the rostrum in an exhausted condition, his
collar is wilted his shirt limp and every stitch
of clothing on him saturated with perspira-

him from the Inconvenience OF superiuous
flesh.
When Jack has bathed and rubbed Billy
down the chief goes to bed. He never leaves
his resting place until it is time to attend the
next service Ma Sunday guards him in the

also constantly in the house, but Jack rather

TINE completion Of the most thorough t,
census Of city employees ever obtained
b has Just been accomplished. 1t marks
the FIRST step on the part OF the Com
mission on Pensions in bringing order out OF
chaos and producing model pension PLAN
According to City Chamberlain Henry Bruere
the pension system Of New York City, incud-
ing eight separate funds, is in frightful shape.
Future conditions promised to be worse and
the anDointnent of the commission was re-
solved on because it was thought to be high
time that pensioners, employees and taxpayers
should come to understand one another.
New Workers have not realized present con-
djtions. saws Mr.. Bruere. Liabilities running
into the millions have been assumed by the
city unknowingly. No effort has previously
been made to find out the cost OF pension bene-
fits; different pension systems have been intro
duced piecemeal, and such a state OF disorder
has resulted that the authorities and pension
ers have not known whether they stood on
their heels or their heads; nobody has been
efficiently provided for and enormous sums OF
money have been wasted.
To remedy these conditions the Commission
on Pensions was organized in 1913 The data
which the commission is obtaining will be care
fully studied and will furnish scientific basis
for a uniform pension system in all the city
departments. In his report 10 the commission
the pension expert in charge says that he has
already called attention to some Of the ques-
tons that must be answered before just and
sound scheme can be instituted in New York.
SEEKING THE ANSWER IN THE CITIES
OF THE WORLD.
Large corporations and municipalities the
world over have faced these questions" he
continues, and we seeking to find out how
is working out and how it is being received by
those concerned. The series of public hearings
which we contemplate holding will afford an
opportunity 90 The employees, pensioners and
the public 70 advance and support their views
on the pension subject in the light OF known
facts and conditions. Upon conclusion of these
hearings the commission will endeavor to for
mulate a model pension system for this NUM-
cipality.'
The first great piece Of work undertaken by
the commission has just been accomplished

ONE ARREST FOLLOWS
ROCK CREEK OUTRAGE
Police Almost Certain Prisoner Is No,
the Man Who Attacked
Child

The drag-net thrown about the Dis
trict yesterday and Tuesday night,
following a negro's attack Tuesday
afternoon upon the daughter of an
army officer in Rock Creek ravine,
near Twenty-fourth street and Massa-
chusetts avenue northwest, has re-
suited in the arrest of but one negro,
and police are almost certain he is
the wrong man. Why they arrested
him could not be learned, as he bears
no resemblance to the assailant's de-
scription.
At IL o'clock last night. a negro
was arrested in Blagden's alley. He
was taken to the Tenth police sta
ton. The girl who was attacked and
her sister who brought assistance
will visit the station this morning to
see him.
1t is said by the police the assailant was
a hod-carrier. employed on a house near
the scene of the assault. but who was
discharged Tuesday morning. He re-
turned that afternoon for his money, and
upon meeting with a refusal, apparently
went away. He was seen later in the
neighborhood.
The little girl, who was saved by the
timely arrival Of George Nicholson. the
contractor. was reported to be doing well
last night She Is still suffering from

hand in this particular battle.
William Sulzer had asked him to
read the Sulzer state papers and had
declared that Murphy was after him
because he had tried to eradicate the
rottenness of the State administration.
On the other hand. Hennessy had
told him that the late State officials
Democrats and Republicans-were in
conceivably corrupt. and cited names
that the colonel could not recall.
II paid more heed to Hennessy than
did to Sulzer." said the witness with
a confidential smile.
No Malice Was Meant.
Despite the fact that he had spent
practically the whole day sowing mines
Under Mr.. Barnes, the colonel emphat-
ically declared at the end of his testi-
mony that he had written the article
in question with no malice and that he
was actuated in writing it by what he
regarded as the highest duty of a citi-
zen. Incidentally, he said that when
Barnes in letter begged him to help
overthrow Hughes that "he had more
friendship and sympathy with Barnes
than with Hughes" Nevertheless. he
thought Barnes had the wrong politi-
cal systerI and Hughes the right one.
and he stood by and for Hughes.
Briefly the witness described his last
meeting with Mr.. Barnes before the
present legal encounter. 1t was at the
Lincoln Day celebration of the Repub-
lican Club after Mr.. Roosevelt's sue
cessful raid on the Saratoga convention
in which Stimson had been nominated.

Mr.. Barnes that had just been reading
letter from his grandfather. Thurlow
Weed. written In 1866 to Lincoln. and
that II he would lead the Republican
party of our day in the spirit shown in
that letter I believed that we could sup
port him, but that in my judgment the
time had come when the Republican par
ty would not submit to the boss system
as practiced by Mr.. Plat. Mr.. Barnes
said that he must act as he deemed best,
and the conversation closed"
Another incident in the Coloneis remi
niscences that proved interesting was
that Of Platt's notification to him when
he was governor-elect that Francis Hen
bricks. of Albany. had been appointed
superintendent of public works and had
accepted. Plat congratulated Roosevelt
on the acceptance. although Roosevelt
had done no appointing.

But later he appointed Hendricks su-

The narrow confines of the witness
chair were all too limited for Mr.. Roose-
welt as he told his story. Most of 1t was
more like a speech than a narrative.
Indeed, Mr.. Wins. the opposing counsel.
