I longevity OF the cent fare came when
| the examiner had called his attention to
the Interboroughs Subtoay sun and
Elevated Express campaign for higher
fare. and to what Mr.. Shearn considered
the improperly of charging the cost OF
that campaign to the operating account.
That brought from the witness that the
former $4,000 a year paid to Ivy Lee
& CO. for promotion work has been cut
in half at the initiative of Mr.. Lee.
For months" said Mr.. Hedley I'VE
have not been saying anything IN The
cars about an increased fare. However.
he added. after a pause, "the people OF
New York few days ago did say some
thing about a cent fare. They SAID
II very forcibly. | have made up my
mind that if / am going To sit here and
manage these properties about all I'm
going TO get is cents for quite while.
and am going to see how to make II go
around"
Mr. Shearn formulated formidable
hypothetical question the importance OF
which was to show that at the time the
huge unearned dividends were declared
the common and preferred stock of the
Interborough Consolidated. the holding
company of the Interborough group. was
being actively dealt in and that the
reason for the swollen dividends was to
inpart a certain added value to trans
actions on Change. Mr.. Hedley listened
to the questions and threw up his hands.
Couldn't Borrow a Dollar
1t appeared also that in 1918. when a
dividend of 17h per cent. was paid on
Interborough stock. the 1nterborough
Rapid Transit Company borrowed
heavily on demand loans. The Inter-
borough Consolidated in that year
loaned $1,O00.OO0 at 51s per cent. to the
company whose stock 1t holds and the
National Bank Of Commence loaned 1t
$500. 900.
I'm other words" said Mr.. Shearn,
during the very year the Interborough
declared a 1715 per cent. dividend. which
was paid by the Interborough Consoli-
dated Corporation, that company was
loaning back to the Interborough $500,000
in February and $500,000 more in April
which l suggest is mere juggling with
books and finances"
Mr.. Hedley said he knew nothing
about these matters. II don't believe in
borrowing money to pay huge divi-
dends." he said. But to-day / know
we could not do the same thing. The
company's known condition Is such that

Not Against Present Mayor.

The following question was asked:
Isn't 1t conceivable to you that three
men appointed by the Mayor and three
appointed by the security owners of the
three operating companies. when they
got together. could and would agree on
the selection of a man of character who
would not be influenced by political con-
siderations for the seventh MEMBER

be So" was the reply.
Under further quizzing by Gen.
O'Ryan Mr.. Hedley made it clear his
objection did not rest on the present
Mayors personality. IT think the peo-
pie of New York will be better SAFE

Mr.. Hedley agreed that from tba
standpoint of operations 1t would be n
tremendous advantage for a unified
control to be able to reroute lines re-
gardless of franchise requirements and

venience
He said: 1T certainly would be a
wonderful Improvement over the service
as you have 1t now. You have a lot of

Fnvors Baiiding Cash Reserve.
In the morning session at the begin
ming of Mr.. Shearn's Interrogation Mr..
Hedley assured the commission that he
believed in conservative policy of
management, under which a substan-
tial cash reserve could be accumulated.
The only way you can secure your
company and build up liquid invest
ments." he added, lis to be sparing In
the payment of dividends and save your
money.
Mr.. Shearn lost no opportunity TO
contrast this declaration of policy with
evidence already adduced concerning
the companys past record in declaring
$65,000.000 In dividends within eighteen
years when the entire net income for
the same period was only about s67.-

followed, there would have been $685.

MUST PAY FOR
BIG GREEK WAR BILLS

Athens.-(By Mail to the United
Press)-King Constantine will not go
to Smyrna and Greece will abandon
the war against Mustapha Renal and
the Turks-unless the allies foot the
bill. ...............,.' -.......
Despite declarations and reports to
the contrary by the king himself, the
above deduction is the viewpoint of
conservative Greek statesmen and
entente diplomats in Athens.
King Constantine's spread-eagle
promises Of leading his people to Con-
stantinople has been all buff, it is
now admitted. q,
At the present time King fConstan-
tine has a diplomatic cold" At the
same time, the provincial propaganda
is working. Almost daily the govern
ment papers print petitions from the
Macedonian, Thracian, and Pellipo-
nesian peasantry entreating the king
not to, imperil4 his life by 'going to
Smyrna" The peasants loyalty point
out that His Majesty's life belongs to
Greece, not to himself. " <Esl..,.
From the royal palace emanates
the information that His Majesty is
not, at all displeased over the solicit
tiousness of his subjects. Smyrna at
best is cold, barren, desolate place
in winter.
The chief fear in royalist circles,
however, is that the Venizelists will
make capital out of any failure to
carry out prediction pledges. In
this event, it is planned to have the
king pay two or three day visit to
the front. In no case will he assume
