Republican politicians. confident o.

minds. These men. one Of whom was
largely responsible for Hitchcock :

Hitchcock would unfortunately lead
many to believe that as far back as last

nomination.
The fact of the matter is. as one OF
Mr.. Hughes's friends and advisers pu.

Moss Strikes a Snag.

The examination went along serenely
until the afternoon session. when Mr.
Moss hit snag by putting the ques-
tion Of the Service charge Of S250,0o0"
squarely up to the banker, asking him
what he did for Mr.. Shonts in return
for the money -.
A moment before Mr. Morgan and
Mr.. Moss had been indulging in persi-
: hage and side remarks that kept the
room in laughter.
"You got this S25O,OOO from the In
terborourh just for talking TO Mr..
Shonts 80 asked Mr.. Moss.
"Yos. sir: and it was well worth it,
Mr. Moss urged that the witness be
moro specific and Mr.. Morgan explained
that lie had advised the Interborough
people how to shape their plans so that
they could 20 to the city officials and
show them how they could get the
money and thereby guarantee that
their plans would be carried out.

urged Mr.. Moss.
"That is all have to say about the

J. +. Morgan was cheerful and
willing witness yesterday before the

upon him to testify regarding his hnan-
cal relations with the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company in the build
ing Of new subways.
He occupied the chair for almost four
hours. laughing when questions amused
him, but he knew little of the impor-
tant things the committee wished to
ascertain about the influences that
brought about a change Of heart in
Mayor Gaynor. An abundance Of tes-
timony went on the record. but it con-
sisted largely Of long questions framed
by Frank Moss, counsel for the COM

One Curious Break That Even the Um-

Baseball's champion foolish play was
made in a game between Washington
and the White Sox in 1907. In that
battle Larry Schlafy was captain Of
the Washingtons and also played Sec
ond base.
At the end Of an early inning Schlafly
went out to telephone or buy goat or
something and was delayed so long
that the Senators had three men put
out before his return.
The Sox came trotting in for their
turn at bat. Washington took the field,
with only eight men and nobody on
second, and the game went on that
way till Fielder Jones hit one straight
across second. Then. and not till then.
