TRANSIT AMENDMENTS
STIR JOHNSON'S IRE
Final Proof of Increased Fare
Plot, He Says.

Senator Hiram w. Johnson of Califor-
MIA, the Hylan administrators special
counsel against Gov. Miller's transit bill,
renewed yesterday his verbal attacks on
the measure. His formal statement in
part follows
"Of course, the wrong and injustice
of the bill have always been plain. but
~ there were any credulous who, in re-
lance upon the statements Of the spon-
sors of the measure, believed its purpose
to be other than what its words demon
strated. the amendments recently
adopted will make it very clear even to
them what is being attempted.
by one of the amendments the pro-
posed transit commission is now. pend
ing it's Investigations and preparation
of plan. authorized to make increases.
iThis Is what the Mayor and Corporation
Counsel have from the first insisted was
the purpose OF the bill. 1t Is what its
advocates have with n pretence Of in
dignation denied There Is no longer
any pretence. The bill Is a bald attempt
to place New York city at the mercy of
the traction companies and to increase
fares"

In ten minute session the Senate
to-day confirmed three additional noml-
nations submitted by President Harding
and adjourned its special session, to re-
convene on April IL. whom both branches
Of Congress will be called back.
Robert Woods Bliss OF New York to
be Assistant Secretary OF State was the
only important appointment received
and acted on to-day. Tie other two
nominations disposed of were those Of
Irving w. Wright of Thermopolis Wyo.,
TO be Register OF the Land Office at
Lander, and J. Ira Kirby OF Sheridan to
be Receiver of Public Moneys at Buffalo,
Wyo.
1t was expected that the President
would send in the nominations for the
United States Shipping Board and pos
sihly name an Ambassador for Great
Britain. No word was received from the
White House. however, and the Senate
adjourned sine die.
Unfinished business of the special ses-
sion submitted by the President includes
the nomination Of former Representative
Fsch (Wis.) to be a member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission that
OF Charles G. Madison to be United
States Attorney for the Western District
Of Missouri, and the ratification of the
Colombian treaty. The two unconflrmed
nominations may be made in recess for
further action when the Senate reas-
sembles.
Resubmission of the Colombian treaty
will not be necessary. as 1t remains on
the executive calendar. During the re-
cess the opponents of this treaty will
perfect more compact organization for
its defeat. and are hopeful that they may
arouse public sentiment sufficiently to be
able to prevent ratification. There are
said 10 be at present twenty-five votes
against 1t. with thirty-three necessary
to defeat il.

harder to impeach them than the Gov

Transit Commission, on the other hand,
can be removed by the Governor. show
ing that it is the purpose to do every
thing 10 throttle the city of New York
And this bill has a most subtle little
Joker in it," interposed senator Walker.
TT says that no plan Is to be put into
effect withou permission of the local
authorities. but don't lose sight of the
fact that the Transit Commission Is the
local authority"
Senator knight introducer of the bill,
insisted that the Board OF Estimate was
intended as the local authority.
"But the bill says that II the Board
doesn't act in thirty days the Transit
Commission takes over all power" said
Senator Boylan.
Senator Knight declared that the
Board of Estimate received abundant
opportunity TO agree with a plan.
Senator Boylan warned that IL the
transit bill becomes law mortal en-

York city and up State. He declared
that the city would protest itself by be-
coming u separate State.

The debate waxed hot as other ques-
tions were fired at Senators Lusk and
Knight Senators Strauss and Walker
were not satisfied with the answers The
former charged the majority leader with
beating around the bush while Senator
Knight was told that, although he was
the father and mother of the bill, he
didn't understand It
"The thing that bothers me about this
BILL" shouted Senator Walker, "is the
provision to stabilize railway securities.

that there is something else behind this
whole thing. It's politics. and II your

wouldn't be asked to vote for this bill.

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. c., March Is.

WnSniHRtVn. ~. N.' NANTcn 10.
President Harding and the Cabinet
to-day devoted considerable attention to
the formulation OF broad policy to
revitalize the American territorial pos
sessions. notably Alaska. They decided
to set in motion Immediately complete
machinery to study conditions in the
territories with a view of their further
development.
The first step in this direction was
that taken week ago when Mr.. Har-
ding and Secretary Weeks decided to
send Major-Gen. Wood to the Philip
pines to study conditions and to recon-
mend the policy TO be pursued. This
will be followed officials agreed, by the
despatch of other Government repre-
sentatives to the other territorial pos
sessions for collection of similar infor-
nation.
Alaska received first attention in the
Cabinet deliberations to-day. it was an
nounced at the White House. The de-
cision was reached to have one OF the
higher officials, perhaps Secretary OF the
Interior Fall personally, go to Alaska
as soon as it can be arranged to look
over the ground for himself
