Vienna, Jan. 26.-The imperial glass coach of the Hapsburgs is now earning it's keep in the "movies'' at 100000 crowns a performance.

They are used to drive members of the As sembly to and from their homes, they transport provisions for the Ameri- can relief and certain of the actresses and singers of the state theater and opera still hold their contracts pro- viding for gratuitous use of the state carriages.
 Many horses and carriages were sold soon after the downfall of the monarchy. but many more of the gorgeous vehicles and showy horses remain unstable. This is particular iy true of the great class and gold state coach, in the style of Louis w., used only on great ceremonial occasions, and said to be the finest piece of coach work extant.

TAKES SECRET TO GRAVE.
JEFF Davis Servant Does Not Disclose
Where Confederate Seal Is Hidden.

Washington, April 9.-The where
abouts of the official seal of the Con-

more than half a century, probably
will ever remain unknown. James

ate office building, said to be the only
person with a knowledge of where the
seal was buried, died today without
disclosing the secret.
Jones was a servant of Jefferson
Davis, president of the Confederacy.
when Davis was captured. AS the
story goes, Jones buried the seal be-
fore the federal authorities could OBJ
tain possession of the Confederate
leaders effects, and to his death never
revealed the spot.

GOV. MILLER CALLS
ADMINISTRATION
HERE INCOMPETENT
State Cannot Leave Welfare
of 100000 in City to Its
Mercy, He Adds.

ALBANY, March 1s.--Governor
Miller, in a hearing to-day on the
proposed compact between the offi-
cials of Now York State and those
Of New Jersey for the creation OF =
Port Of New York District, declared
that the State of New York could
not leave the welfare Of the six mil
lion residents OF New York City "tn
the tender mercies of an adminlstrn-
ton from whose inefficiency and In
competence all OF the people Of the
state are now suffering"
And when it becomes necessary
Tor the State 10 step in and rescue
people in their own interests" he
added, 'the State not only has the
power, but, in my Judgment, it is The
moral duty OF the State to do it,"
William McCarroll and julius
Henry Cohen told tho Governor that
tho organizations which they repre-
sented and those that were present
came to Albany in support of the
proposed treaty.
In his reply, Gov. Miller said that
the correct solution OF the problems
OF the port development and transit
affected the comfort. health and hap
piness OF the six million residents Of
the city, the more than ten million
inhabits OF the State and many more
millions Of the entire country.
'"rhere has been a good deal OF
talk about home rule" ne said, "and
it has been made a fetish to cover
migruls and misgovernment, and the
people who arc talking of II with re-
spect to the municipalities OF the
State are looking at it from an en-
tirely wrong angle.
The State is sovereign within It's
sphere. The municipalities have
been created by the State. They are
the mere creatures OF the State as
agncies for local administration, and
their Justification or excuse for the
exercise OF power stops at the point
where they cease to he able efEoo-
