tracts and franchises held by the rail-
ways. He regards as futile any attempt
to fix rate OF faSe to cover any par
ticular period of time, and says 1t may
be possible to operate the railways prof
itably on five cent fare.
"1 believe the only remedy for the tran
sit difficulty" said Commissioner Delaney
at the Marlborough -Blenheim Hotel, 'is
to rewrite present contracts and fran
chises. Let the companies give up any
unfair privileges they may have obtained
when those contracts and franchises were
entered into
The cost OF service shall be the meas
ure of the fare rate that shall be given.
NO one can say today whether the street
car fares in New York should be raised
or not. II the contracts are rewritten and
businesslike methods followed the five
cent fare might be sufficient. Whatever
it costs divided by the number OF riders
Will be the proper rate OF fare.
ITO discuss any rate of fare over any
particular period OF time is to indulge in
an error. Conditions that prevail today
may be different tomorrow. There Is a
possibility that under the plans have pro-
posed n five cent fare in New York will

Follows Raid
on Crews Liquor

Rigid enforcement of the prohibition law
aboard the United States Shipping Board
vessel Lake Elkwood on a trip to South
American waters caused a series of diff
cultles which eliminated yesterday with
the arrangement of four members OF the
crew before the Board of Steamboat In
spectors, in the Custom House, on
charges preferred by Captain William
Henry Chamoliss, commander OF the
steamship.
Details of the difficulties encountered
on the trip could not be learned, as the
preliminary hearing was held behind
closed doors. IT. was learned. however.
that the four men were accused of aban-
doning the vessel when it reached Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil. This action on their part
is said to have been precipitated by q
letter which Captain Chambiss sent to
Senior Cordelro Cunha, Brazilian Inspec-
tor Of Customs, which was as follows:-
Il have on board, in addition to coal.
about two thousand tons ship stores and
about twenty cases and about forty bot
ties of liquor not shown on manifest This
liquor belongs to several members of my
crew, from whom / confiscat ted ;t after
they had brought it on board. do not
know its value.
Il do not care to make any trouble for
these men, as that action may leave me
short handed, so 1 will simply deliver the
above mentioned liquor to the Brazilian
Customs and request you to present it 10
some hospital or sell it and give the money
to charity. If you will kindly send a boat
10 my ship 1 will deliver the goods in ac-
cordance with the Brazilian law covering
such unmanifested freight"

The average Frenchman's INSTALLATION
of a genuine American is a rosy checked,
strong armed millionaire who has more
money than he knows what to do with
and knows more about everything than
any other living human being.
This was the statement made yesterday
at the Park Avenue Hotel by Mile. SUI
zanne Boitard, magazine writer, whose
home is in Paris, and who is touring the
world for the purpose of writing an article
on after the war conditions.
TT is humorous" she said yesterday,
Ito talk with the small merchants and
farmers of France since the war and
ask them what they think of the Ameri-
cans. These old men and women immedi-
ately lift their eyebrows, and say
"'Myi My How rich they are! All
millionnaires! Beeg arms! Zey know
everything in the world"
She said this impression had been gained
because the American soldiers in France
spent their money freely, tipped literally,
were perfect specimens of physical devel-
opment-and, last of all, told every one
with whom they came in contact that they
had come over to end the war, were going
to do it, and didn't want any advice about
how to go about il.
