LONG STEM ROSES

Of Gift for Senator's Aid.

to Mrs. Lusk Was Expected
to Please Her Husband.
FLOWER TOLOCKWOOD

American beauty roses with very
long stems were presented to Senator
Clayton r. Lusk and pink roses with
quite short stems--two punches for
$60-were presented to Senator Lock-
wood by the teachers OF Hunter Col
lege in appreciation OF their support
in passing Legislation which increased
salaries in Hunter and City College
about 100000 a year without the
consent OF the Board of Estimate.
Miss Louise Hart, assistant pro-
fessor in the classical department of
Hunter College testified before Com
missioner of Accounts Hirshfteld this
afternoon concerning the floral gifts.
Before going into details about the
presentation, Miss Hart explained
that the expense of lobbying for the
bill were raised by assessments on
teachers accordin gto Their salaries.
In all a little less than $500 was sub
scribed for Expenses incident to the
passage of increased pay legislation"
All this happened after Mayor Hylan
had told the Hunter College teachers
that the city could not afford asy
more pay increases
Commissioned Hirshtield wanted TO
know why senate Leader busk was
given finer flowers with longer stems
than Senator Lockwood. who actually
fathered the increased pay bill.
well, you sec, Senator Lusk Is
quite taf, and he is the leader Of the
Senate" replied Miss Hart. There
fore we thought the long stem flowers
American would be more
appropriate
Although she did not say so, Com
missioner Hirshheld implied from her
exclamation that the pink roses Win
short stems were given to Senator
Lockwood simply because he is quite
short.
The reluctant witness admitted
that when she and another teacher
from Hunter College went to Albany
to use their efforts toward passing
the increase of pay hill they met

owned and controlled by the Prairie
Oil and Gas Company and the Ohio
Oil Company and their severance was
ordered by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The stock of the pipe
line companies was distributed to the
owners of the oil company stock in
1915.
II was decided by the Government
that this stock paid to Mr.. Rock keteiler

low light OF four candles, two at tho
head and two at the feet. At the
