A.~-Only what have seen in the

about an increase in fare?

Legislature Of the State Of New York =?
Al have done nothing except to
distribute our literature, and by the
same method to try to Impress the
public as to its necessity. This So
called sevcn-cent fare bill-we never
understood It to be a scven-cent bill.

Origin of the Bill
Q.-Did you communicate with Sena-
tor Thompson about such a committee /?
A.-Never.
Questioned by Senator Cotillo as to
the origin of the Carson Martin Bill,
Mr.. Shonts said it was the result Of
conferences between him and counsel
for his road and ether traction
mon with Mr.. Whitman, Speaker Sweet
and Elon r. Brown, then majority
leader Of the Senate He said there
were several conferences here last win
ter before the bill was drafted, when
Mr.. Whitman was Governor.
"Thc vital clause of this bill was
written, think, by Senator Brown in
his handwriting" said Mr.. Skonts.
"What was that vital clause ?" asked
Senator Cotillo.
.A.-Providing for the establishment
of tribunal, which tribunal would
have power to make rates, regardless
of provisions in franchises and con-
tracts to the contrary
Q-How did Senator Brown come
to draw up that?
Awe were all at that meeting.
Speaker Sweet said he was trying to
run manufacturing plant, and if the
rates could not be increased he could
rot hold out, and he saw no reason
why the electrical roads could help
going broke. They were all governed
by natural laws. Senator Brown was
equally outspoken.
The Whitman Ransom Fee
Q.-How much does the Interborough
pay Ex-Governor Whitman?
Al am not sure, but he asked for
$4,000.
Mr.. Shonts was about to leave the
stand when he volunteered:

Japanese Duplicity vs. American Innocence

Students of American statecraft will find oc-
casion for both amusement and sorrow in the
revelations made by Secretary Lansing in his
statement to the senate committee on foreign
relations If the spectacle presented by the
American commission at Paris not so
humiliating, it would be comical. Our presi-
dent went there full of high purpose, all cooked
and prned to have his fourteen points written
into charter for humanity, and it now comes
out that he sat in circle where the cards were
stacked against him from the beginning.
Secretary Lansing says he knew nothing
of the secret treaty between Japan, France and
England until February. At that time the con-
ference had been in session almost three
months Before going to Paris our secretary
of state had engaged in conversations with Wis.,
count Ishii on the question of China The astute
Japanese diplomat, knowing the details of the
secret agreement, which had been concealed
from Americans, held his tongue while Mr.
Lansing explained the sort of arrangement
America would make with Japan, and must
have laughed inwardy in contemplation of the
surprise in store for the diplomats of the
United States.
The president, apparently unmindful of
open covenants of peace, openly arrived at"
declines to give the senate certain documents
because their publication might be against
public policy Among these is the letter written
by Tasker H. Bliss, protesting against the
Shantung robbery. Other mem bers of the
American commission joined in the protest, but
the president disregarded their advice and gave
his 49, K" to the deal. He has since told the
country that he is fully satisfied with the
declaration of Japan that Shantung is to be
restored to China Eventually"
A great deal of explanation will be required
before the average American will join with the
president in his expression of confidence in
Japan better illustration of innocence en-
countering duplicity could scarcely be asked
than is provided in this instance.
