Aid. Buck suggested that perhaps
the ticker service report quoting
Pres. Cowdery of the gas company
as saying the election was favorable,
and would be more so if Merriam
were eliminated, was not for home
consumption, but was intended for
the New York bankers. It was this
report, quoted in The Day Book,
which tied up negotiations between
the city and the gas company until
a general denial was received from
gas company officials that they figUT-
ed in the primary fight.
The connections Of our corpora
ton counsel, Sam EttIeson, with the
firm of Schuyler & Weinfeld, former
Iy Schuyler, EttIesOn & Weinfeld,
and the firms connections with the
gas company were traced carefully
at yesterdays meeting Of the gas
committee.
Another letter from insult, in re-
spouse to a request of the commit
tee, gave a list of the attorneys for
the gas firm. This was to determine
the part played by the firm of which
EttlesOn was formerly a partner. In
sui said that Meagher, Whitney,
Kicks & Sullivan did most Of the gas
company's law work and that Col.
Milton J. Foreman, head of the First
cavalry, was also retained.
But the committee was startled
when insult admitted that the firm
Schuyler & Weinfeld was among the
gas attorneys. Just what services it
performed, he did not state.

the firm Isham, Lincoln & Beale.
Beale is also counsel for the Com
mCnwealth Edison Co., the elevated
roads and is a trustee of the Trib-
une estate with power to direct the
policy of the newspaper.
Edward Bemis, engineer for the
gas committee, who had to- go to
court to get access to the books OF
the gas company, reported to the
committee that the firm Schuyler &
Weinfeld had received monthly pay
ment of $1,16666 almost every
month since June, 1915, making a
total of S24,999.86 since that date.
Part of this money was paid while
Sam EttelsOn, now corporation cOun-
sci and Thompson clan political ad-
visor, was still a member of the firm
which he left to be put in the City
Hall job as lawyer for the city.
why does the gas company need
so much legal advice and what was
the firm Schuyler & Weinfeld paid
for?" asked Aid Merriam when the
Bemis' statement was heard. you
know that every cent of legal ex-
pense is charged to operating ex-
penses and figures in the price of
gas"
Then the committee was given the
proposed ordinance, said by the at
torney for the gas committee to be
the result of a compromise between
the gas company experts and those
employed by the city.
When it was heard Aid. Block OBJ
jected that under the terms of the
agreement gas would be higher than

tive of the United States at the in

had been chosen president of the
inter-allied economic council for the
prosecution of the war, now meeting
in London.
Mr.. McAdoo in a statement last
night declared that the organization
of this council will mean that effect
i've use will be got out of the credits
which the United States has ex-
tended to the allies. Col. SHouse
was instructed when he went to
Paris to make 1t very plain that II
the United States was to continue
to furnish not only the raw material
for the war but the money with which
it is bought, the United States must
have a say in its disposal.
The inter-allied economic council
will be charged with allotting to
the various nations the tasks they
are to do in landing sufficient sup
plies on the spot where the military
chiefs determine they are needed.

The conucil will thus have to decide
the broad questions of the uses to
which all OF the ships of the world

determine the relative priority of all
the shipments that cross the seas.
1t will also determine the financial
needs of the various nations and lay
out the plans by which they may best
be met.
Secretary McAdoo in his statement
last night said:
'I am greatly pleased that such an
honor as the selection Of Mr.. Crosby
to the presidency Of the Interaliiei
Council should come to the United
States and to the Treasury Depart
ment.
"A very distinguished honor has
been conferred upon Mr.. Csosby. l
