The Commissioner declared it was his
belief that the expenditure Of this sum

Mayor Waves Away All OBJ
jections in Statemen
Offered at Conference
W it h Railway People

Mayor Hylan yesterday held sec
ond conference at the City Hall with
the heads or representatives of the
railroads entering New Y ork City in
regard to the construction of a pro-
posed freight tunnel between Brooklyn
and Staten Island There was general
discussion in regard to the location of
the tunnel, and also with reference to
the advisability of constructing belt
line railroad around Staten Island.
Engineers appointed by railroad Of
fcials to consult with the city's engi-
neers were directed to continue their
study of the situation and present a
plan for the location and construction
of the tunnel on October IS.
Colonel William !. Wilgus, consult
ing engineer of the Board Of Estimate
declared that the belt line on Staten
Island was a necessity, not only for
handling ordinary freight, but also for
the movement of troops and supplies
in case Of war. Colonel Wilgus said
that this opinion was confirmed by his
experience in France in the World
War.
Samuel Rae, president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, disagreed with
Colonel Wilgus. He thought existing
facilities on Staten Island were suf-
ticient to meet present requirements
The Mayor read statement advocat-
ing construction of the tunnel and the
belt line as promptly as possible, as
we'll as the rapid development of the
Jamaica Bay improvements He sale
the city purposed to carry out the
legislative mandate authorizing thu
construction OF the Staten Island tun
mel with as much speed as possible
and irrespective of the outcome of the
railroad negotiations, with the assur
ance that little difficulty will be ex
perienced in finding an operator ready
to construct the necessary connection

E. W. Drew, Former Vice.
President of Organization,
Bares 500 to ST., 900 Slid
ing Scale for Subscriptions

The subscriptions to the history of
the World War, the promotion of
which brought the affairs of the New
York Press Club into the courts for
investigation, were based upon a slid
ing scale, ranging from 800 to $1,000,
according to the binding. This was
brought out yesterday during the cross
examination of Edward W. Drew. who
was vice. president Of the club during
the two years that John J. Wohltman
and his employees obtained more than
$4,000 in subscriptions. The history
has not been published yet, according
to the testimony.
Drew was on the witness stand
throughout the hearing yesterday
before former Supreme Court Justice
Peter A. Hendrick. who is acting as
referee. Another point evolved was
that complaint had been made to the
District Attorney about the manner in
which one of Wohltman's solicitors had
been operating. Details Of the COM
plant were not gone into, but Drew
stated that he and Edward Percy How
ard, president of the club, went to see
Assistant District Attorney E. P. Kill

H. Francis Dyruf, counsel for the
petitioners. subjected Drew to a severe
examination, during which it was
brought out that Drew had testified to
three different explanations of the rea-
son he had accepted sums of money
from Wohltman while he was an officer
of the club charged with the duty OF
Watching its interests in connection
with the contract with Wohltman. Dur
ing this examination Drew ADMITTED
he had drawn up prospectuses for the
World War history.
"Were you not n the employ OF

was the answer.
Drew testified that the World War
history solicitation was imperative tt
save the club, because of the low state
of its finances. The contract went into
effect in February, 1918. He then was
shown a letter written by Edward
Percy Howard on January 81, 1919, ir
which it was stated that the CLUB wa:

His exact plans, in the event the

Porto Baros are unknown, but it is
assumed that he likewise would fly to

to that of Fiume. While the poet S
