inflicts extreme hardship upon his
client but that under it the city itself
would be penalized and seriously incon-
venienced.
Should the sentence he executed as
pronounced by Judge Mayer" said Mr..
Mooney yesterday, 1T is clear that dur
ing the sixty day term of his imprison-
ment the Comptroller would be unable
to exercise any of his official functions
as financial officer of the city Of New
York, as he would be In the State of
New Jersey and outside the jurisdiction
Of this commonwealth.

his deputies, and they doubtless would
do the best they could in the absence
OF their chief But. whatever opinion
may be held of Mr. Craig whether he be
q good or bad man, an efficient or an
inefficient man, ! think any person
familiar with the facts will concede that
he is very busy man. He is so busy
that / as his personal counsel find il
difficult to obtain with him anything
more than the most brief consultation.
He holds that the municipality has
first claim upon his time and his SER
vices. Should he be imprisoned for two
months in a foreign Jurisdiction 1t would
be inevitable, It seems TO me, that the
city's interests should suffer serious

he will have sway after March 4. He
will return the first Of the week to

his ideas and consult with those now in
control. He hopes to have a general
plan Of reorganization ready for the con-
sideration of the President soon after

Mr.. Hoover will probably have little to

The Senate made slow progress in
disposing of supply bills to-day. In con-
trast to the record made week ago in
which a total of about s7Oo, 900, 900 was
appropriated in three bills passed the
same day, the only measure TO be ap-
proved to-day was the river and har-
Dor bill, carrying s15,000,0 900. the same
total allowed by the House.
Democratic Senators were largely re-
sponsible for the delay. Senators Har-
rison (Miss.) and Reed (Mo.) making
a fight to increase the lump sum appro-
priation for Mississippi River improve
ments between Kansas City and the
mouth of the river. BY vote of "a to
is, the Senate rejected an amendment
TO make the total ss3.000.0O0, offered
by Senator Harrison. and refused by n
vote of AZ to 16 to accept an amend
ment Of Senator Reed to increase the
House bill to S2S 100000
The bill finally was passed without a
roll call in the exact form as passed by
the House. Immediately the fortifica-
tions bill was called up in the hope that
Il could be passed to-day. but debate on
other matters arose. and because OF the
late hour tho Senate finally recessed un-

AN entirely new form of in

in Washington on March 4 as a
result of the success of the tele-
phone company in installing an
amplifier that will enable 100,-
900 persons or more to hear
President Harding's inaugural
address on the Capitol Plaza.
The idea received its incep-
tion to-day. Engineers working
on the amplifier were using an
ordinary phonograph. They
played marches that could be
heard fully a quarter of a mile
away, with the effect of a full

\ Tired Government workers at
once fell into the toddle and
