No explanation of his action was made
by Col. Charles w, Whittlesey in the
nine letters which he wrote to friends
and relatives before eaping into the sea
from the steamship Toloa.

yesterday a statement signed by him
self and three other friends. who re-
ceived letters. This was:
I'VE have each received a letter ad-
dressed to us by the late Lieut. &C d.
Charles NJ. Whittlesey. The letters con-
tain only personal farewells, and in no
instance attempt to explain the reason
for his departure. Their contents can
be Of no interest TO the public.
In the light OF our intimate relations
with him we are convinced that the
! theory voiced by the press as to the
cause of his death is correct. His was

were Robert Forsyth Little Of the law

Against Interference.

Mr.. Shearn inquired whether Mr. Gar
rison would advise placing in the boards
OF directors of the proposed three oper-
ating companies men nominated by the
Mayor or the Board of Estimate.
mo, I would not, for two reasons"
replied Judge Garrison. For many
years. you know, the Government had
railroad directors on its Government
aided roads. My native State OF New
Jersey used to have State director Of
railroads. Now, either OF two things
happens when you do that. You either
get man in there who Is an active
politician and hustler and who utll-
ICES his position for his political party,
or more often, you just get man who
merely holds a sinecure. 4 don't know
anything about operating railroad
and I won't do anything he says. So
all he does is to sit and draw his sal
airy. Each man is equally undesirable"
One of the features developed was
that a profit of more than 100000 a
year accrues to the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit roads from their car advertis-
ing cards. Mr.. Garrison testified that

ALL SAFEGUARDS ASSURED

For the fourth time since the open
ing Of its present investigation the
Transit Commission Yesterday sus-
tanned severe frontal attack on one
of the pet features of the plan which
it has laid tentatively before the pub
lie for the rehabilitation and unifica-
ton of the city's railway facilities.
This latest assault was delivered by
Lindley NJ. Garrison, Secretary of War
in the first Wilson Cabinet, one time
judge and since January /, 1918, re-
ceiver for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
system. Mr.. Garrison trained his
guns mainly on the feature of the
commissions plan providing for a
board of control of seven members,
three to be named by the three oper-
ating companies, three by the Mayor
and they to select the seventh.
1t was that feature that was re-
garded as the most vulnerable point
in the project by Frank Hedley, presi-
dent of the Interborough Job E,
Hedges. receiver of the New York
Railways Company, and Col. Timothy
S. williams, who, until the 3. r. T. re-
ceivership, had been for two decades
at the head of that system.
Like them, Judge Garrison con-
tended that in setting up a board of
control such as this the commission
was creating an agency which inevi-
tably would lend itself to the ends OF
partisan politics of the most objec-
tionable type. 1t is a notable fact
that as yet not one of the high repre-
sentatives OF transit companies pub
licly interrogated has failed to criti-
else and condemn this aspect of the
plan.

sympathizes with Plan.

The former Cabinet officer was invited
by Clarence J. Shearn, special cour sci
to the commission, to express mis- Views
freely. Generally speaking. Mr.. Garri-
son said, he was in hearty sympatty y
with the commissions theory and DR.
pose. but he did not like some OF to
details Of its printed plan. He cor
tinued.
Il feel that unless the purpose OF the
commission is-and am almost positive
municipal operation while the roads, ex-
cepting the subway tubes, still are pri-
vately owned. you will have to revise
the board of control as you have pro-
vided for It. Universal experience in
every part of our Government is that
just as soon as you have any sort OF
political management patronage is an
essential part of 1t.
And It Is no discreditable thing to
say that for the last forty years-as far
back as my memory goes--there never
has been President of the United Stares
who has not been suspected, and
imagine to some extent at least, pronerly
suspected. of having used patronage for
party purposes 1t Is inseparaole from
any kind of political activity. And ln-
less you expect to get what YOU can't
expect to get. men to serve on this board
OF control who are superior to men whom
you have got to serve as Presidents of
the United States-as soon as you get
them serving here they will inevitably
take care Of their camp followers srd
their henchmen and their political help

spoiIs System Inevitable.

'It is simply inevitable that il should
be so. The only purpose of their being
active politicians is to build up their
political party so that II may succeed.
Every political party believes It is the
palladium Of liberty, and that the Sue
cess Of the system depends on keeping
them In office. There never was a party
yet that did not feel that way.
IT say this utterly irrespective of the
present officials Of this or any other city.
I should say the same if your public
offices to-day were filed with men / my
self picked out, because do not believe
men can resist political pressure in re-
spect OF political affairs. never have
known any one to do It, and have had
a rather close contact with political af-
fairs at some time In my life.
You are providing for a board of con-
troll OF which one solid block consists of
three men selected by political agency.
They have with them another block,
which is not solid. namely, the three
men who are operating your three groups
of roads. all active heads. Now. some
things in human nature are so clear 1t Is
foolish not to recognize them.
zone OF them is that an operator
a man whose business II Is to attend TO
the physical operation Of a road--has
one great desire. and that Is to get hold
of money and spend IL for the very best
service he can furnish. Taht fees his
self esteem, and Il Is the natural ten
dency of all operators
Therefore you have a combination
where the operator has to deal with the
men who have the say about how much
money he can have. namely, the three
political managers. You let me have as
much money as I can legitimately use.
