trying to make harbor laden with precious cargo
of party legislation.
Most of the coast guardsmen gathered In
the lighthouse circling about their returned
leader and friend. big Bill Bryan. who had come
back once more to his work as keeper The door
of the lighthouse was thrown open and in breezed
tall. lanky coast guardsman wrapped in pea
jacket. When the newly blown in" one brought
his face out gradually from the folds of a huge
muf1er, the coast guardsmen cried in We coming
unison. why it's Bill McAdoo!"
Later one guardsman said to another How did
Bill McAdoo get there; did he come in the
hfeboat?" The answer was, mo. Bill got there
through the tunnel"
So it is that when men speak of Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo and his career. which has
landed him in the second cabinet Office OF govern
ment. they are apt to say that bill got there
through the tunnel"
Does not everybody know what is meant by
Bill getting there" through the tunnel? II any
one be unknowing let 1t be said at once that
II was William Gibbs McAdoo. now the secretary
of the treasury. who undertook the gigantic work
of constructing tunnels under the Hudson river
through which railroads were run to connect the
terminals and cities OF the Jersey side with the
business and shopping districts of Manhattan.
This tunnel project of Mr. McAdoo was at first
said to be dream It had been suggested and
some attempts had been made to put 1t in form
and substance before the present secretary of
the treasury looked on the scheme said It was
good and that 1t could be put through. He put
II through and the work such success that
men now say that Mr.. McAdoo got there
through the tunnel"
Hes Often Criticized. =
Il probably il not entirely fair to Uncle Sans
secretary Of the treasury to say that the tunnel
was responsible for his success. Mr.. McAdoo's
friends would rather have it put that Mr.. McAdoo
was responsible for the tunnels success and that
tho same energy and other things which enter
into an able mans makeup we're responsible for
his getting there" with the tunnel and with the
other things which he has undertaken. and also
responsible for his getting there when their
thoughts dwell on the presidents cabinet.
Perhaps no man in Mr.. Wilson's cabinet has
been the target for many shafts Of criticism
and SO many bouquets If praise as this lanky gen.
;fleman with the Roman nose who looks after the
interests Of Uncle Sans strongbox Men who do
not believe in his financial theories and some OF
his legislative endeavors say that he may be able
TO build tunnel but that he has not in him the
elements Of greatness as fnancier and that his
tory will not make second Alexander Hamilton

bers in Fifteenth Street Place.
A door barricaded by an iron bar failed
today to halt the progress OF burglars
travelling a familiar route through the
premises Of G. w. Kohl. proprietor Of a
saloon and restaurant at 33 South 18th
street, and the men duplicated an exploit
OF one month ago In getting away with
$3.50 in cash, cigars and liquors.
Following the FIRST robbery Kohl put q
heavy par across a door used by tho
burglars forcing the window of room.
Today he found the iron staple in which
one end of the bar was fixed torn loose
and the door swinging ajar.
The burglars followed to the most min
ute detail the method they used In the
first robbery. First they tried TO force
the lock of a side door, and failed.
Jimmy marks we're found on the door
this morning. They then seucred a lad
der from the yard of the house. raised
it to n second floor bathroom window aDd
forced entrance.
The barred door was pried open with
the Jimmy and the men got into the sa-
loon There they tried to force the safe
and failed, as they did a month ago. The
cash register drawer was easier In 1t
they found $50.
Nearly every box of cigars In the place
was opened and inspected and several
boxes of the highest priced we're taken.
The men used the same systematic care
in their selection of wines and liquors,
sampling several and apparently oper-
ating in the most leisurely manner.
