The more OF less romantic affair of
an NJ. p. and Il cook. which is ex-
posed in the play Tiger! Tiger" at

offended John Daily, chief inspector OF

best work OF his life. The girl visits
him every Tuesday evening.
On one OF these occasions she re-
veals the fact that she is a cook. He
wishes her to quit cooking and be his
comrade permanently, but she is toe
proud Of her. responsibility. There
comes a night when the NJ. =. shifts
patchouli. The girl explains that hav-
ing been cooking cabbage for her mid

PLAZA PHONE CALLS
UNDER P. S. INQUIRY
Commission Gives Time to HO-
tel to Show Cost of Main
tanning Service.

The question OF whether the Public
Service Commission has regulatory
power over telephones may be drawn
into n hearing which the upstate
commission began yesterday on com
plant Of Cornelius NJ. Sheehan, Dep
uty Water Commissioner, That the
Plaza Hotel had charged him 80 cents
for a twelve minute call within the
5 cent zone. The Shcehan case may
prove a test OF the commissions power
over rates.
The Government. through Postmas-
~tcr-General Burieson, has ordered no
tells TO charge only 6 cents for calls
within the s cent zon II was before
this order was given. however, that
the Sheehan acknowledgements.
The hearing was begun by the com
mission In the Hall OF Records. Leo
Kenneth Mayer. representing Mr..
Sheehan, asked the attorneys for the
Plaza il they would concede that 10
cents was the normal telephone charge
at the hotel. They refused to do so,
declaring 1t was up 10 Mr.. Sheehan
10 establish his own case.
Lawyer Campbell, for the Paza. de-
clared hat n week & Monday he
asked the Postnlaster-General to in
stan public telephones in the corridors
and rooms of the hotel. but hat he re-
fused to do so.
W. II. Winkler, a lawyer o; 50 Wall
street, who played n leading part in
the 8 cent rate crusade. declared:
Despite what has been said, l De-
lieve the Observation-Disclosures would be
glad TO allow public telephones In the
corridors of hotels. The Government is
now getting only two and "A half cents
on calls for which the hotels charge
10 cents. Were public phones in
stalled the Government would collect
1 cents on each call"
The hearing was adjourned until

WORLD LEAGUE is
VITAL. SAYS TAFT
Peace Treaty Would Be Vain
Without II, He Asserts.

1t Is the conviction Of William H.
Taft, president Of the League to En-
force Peace. that the wal will have
been fought in vain. and that the
treaty which is about to be made will
he a vain treaty unless there is organ
lied at the peace table a league Of
nations pledged to enforce the terms
OF peace as they are laid down.
Mr.. Taft so expressed himself last
night at a dinner given by the league
of which he is president to two score
publishers and editors at the Lotos
Club. The meeting was called to en-
list the interest of the men present in
the aims of the league and to obtain
their aid through the publications with
which they are connected.
THE time has passed" he said
whey we may quote Washington on
entahgling alliances. We are I'm a
great world alliance, wholly entangled
In 1t. and 1t has brought obligations
which We must fulfil to the end.
ITO say that we shall take no part
In world politics is to be blind to our
position. We are to take part at the
peace table In the creation OF as MANY
as fourteen new states with their four
teen new governments, and having
helped to create them we must take
our part and responsibility In the
measures Which must be devised 10
guarantee their safety and perma-
nency.
This can only be done through a
league Of nations. You cannot carve
and create these new nations, with no
experience In self-government and
subject to all the perlls springing from
the inexperience within Themselves and
the ~jealousies within and without
themselves, unless you constitute a DO
lice force Of very considerable size to
see to 1t that they remain stable until
they have had opportunity TO develop
and mature.
THE question is n large one and
obviously h establishment OF a world
Leagues TO enforce peace is its only
solution. The President is in favor of
II n l am glad that he as gone TO
Europe personally, for there surely,
better than here remote from the fields
OF the great conflict that has Just been
ended, Will he be able to see the vital
necessity OF the league which We ad-
vocate."

Capt. Lipsner said he had attempted

pointment Of inexperienced men to i'm
portant posts in the aerial service, as
we'll as a proposal to have special mail
carrying airplanes. Capt. Lipsner was
cut short" he said. with the an
nouncement that the conclusions mad
been reached and that they would be
carried out regardless OF what he
thought or said.
The resignation of Max Miller, first
pilot of the service, was announced at

sarily in constructing special airplanes
made for mail carrying and having
extensive alterations made on the mill
tary a!rpianes which the War Depart
ment is turning over to the Post Office
Department to be utilized in the aerial

anybody. but I'm for the public first,
last and all the time" said Capt. Lips

is more important than his duties as
a public officer. Some time ago word
was sen out for contractors to formu-
late claims, blame the commission
and present them to the Comptroller,
who would consider and determine
them. So far nine or ten such claims
have been filed a~ggregating many
millions Of dollars. Other claims may
have been filed of which the commits
sion docs not yet have knowledge.
Damage Question DebatabIe.
I'm the hearings on the claims, so
far as | have been able to learn, he Is
combining the issue to the dates on
which plans were furnished and de-
sires from the commission only infor-
nation as to when, BY the records of
the commission, the plans were fur
nished. Yet. in my opinion, this Is not
half of the story. Even II plans
we're not furnished within thirty days
sixty days or whatever the time
may have been after the delivery OF
the contract the contractor suffers no
ds images II his work is not at the stage
where he needs the plans.
FOR example, in the Intercontl-
mental case, the contractor Is claiming
"A million dollars, based on alleged de-
lay in the furnishing Of plans. In the
opinion OF the engineers OF the COM
the actual damages resulting
from such failure as to any plans will
not exceed $40, 900: yet the Comptrol-
Ter is already preparing 10 pay $4,000
as ar instalment. and under the stipu-
lation the contractor proposes that IL
he secures a settlement and immediate
payment of his claims the maximum
may be over 5000, 900.
THE difficulty with the Comptrol-
ler's method is that he first finds that
the commission did not deliver plans
on certain dates, that this is a legal
basis for a claim, and therefore he will
settle. the contractors claims (Which
actually represent the increased cost
due to war conditions) and award to
the contractor whatever he may
wish" -
Comptroller Craig said last night
that he had beer busy all day yesterday
with Board OF Estimate matters and
had been unable to prepare a state
ment of his side OF the controversy,
He said he would issue n to-day.
