tion In these matters we believe perhaps
he company has been at the moment
giving 700 much attention.
II doubt, we all doubt, whether the
members OF this directorate quite appre-
,iate that we are living in a different
time so far as the consideration of these
matters Is concerned, that we, at least,
do not propose doing things In quite the
old way. We propose to be absolutely
fair. but we also propose to have the
truth, and to have that background
that is necessary for a proper and in
teiligent solution OF this problem.
"Answers to he Required
These gentlemen have been invited
to appear here. They decline to appear.
The commission directs that they be
brought here under subpoena, and that
they be required to answer such ques-

ject. II Judge Shearn will take what

Election from him upon the subject"
IT must say, Mr.. Chairman" said Mr..
Shearn, that regard the announce
involving a gross breach of faith with
this commission. At the outset of this
inquiry the commission was assured by
the counsel for the several companies,
and especially by counsel for the Inter
borough, that every facility would be
nut in the hands OF the commission to
develop the facts bearing on the inquiry.
"a week ago. when these developments
began to appear, the commission an
nounced it deemed II best that the re-
sponsible directors should be summoned
and that the inquiry should not be
limited. as inquiries have been generally
in the past, to questioning hirelings and
subordinates. Notice was given these
gentlemen that they would be expected
to appear within a few days. and we
were assured they would cheerfully ap-
pear, and consequently no eubpenas
were served.
Every arrangement was made fol
them to appear yesterday morning ana
then Mr. Quackenbush appeared and
made a statement to the effect that ne
could not speak for these gentlemen
that they were confronted with Difficult
les that were personal to themselves
and that 1t was due to them in all fair.
ness that they should have an oppor'
tunlty to confer with their private coun'
sci before coming here and being ques'
toned.
'It seemed to the commission and Il
counsel to be fair under all the circum
| stances, considering the consequence
that might be involved in the facts dis
| closed, that these gentlemen should have
the opportunity of comforting with coun
] sel even though 1t involved the proba
bility that that meant a consultation
with one another before they told theil
stories. Yet we knew that the fact
could not be changed, and in dsposi
tion TO be entirely fair postponed thei
examination until this morning still be
ing assured that they would be on hanC
and that they would cheerfully answel
al questions.

the opposition of these gentlemen.
'"rhey have hidden Lenlnu the skirts

me that these men. who for years have

The first Of the women who entered the
