all can be heard. The hearing viii be
one of the largest held in years.
Interest centres In the appearance of
Senator Hiram Johnson of California,
who is coming to speak for New York
city as champion of home rule. He is
expected to scold the State Administra-
ton sharply for proposing to rescue New
York city's battered traction system.
Like the local officials, who insist they
ought to be allowed to have as pad
transit as they wish without State in
reference. the home rule champion
from the Pacific coast is counted on 10
insist that Tammany and Hylan be left
alone with their problem.
The opposition has picked up cour-
age considerably since the corporation
unanimously voiced a protest against
the Miller bill. They assert that the
Mayors conference at its midwinter
session on Wednesday will affirm the
position of the lawyers and declare
against the bill unless the amendments
offered on Monday overcome all criti-
cism. That is hardly expected. even
by the Governors friends.
The fight will be contested more Bit
terly than was anticipated. That Is
becoming clearer every day. The legis-
lative leaders have been so certain OF
winning that they have minimiZed the
opposition. Now they are becoming
more cautious and are getting really
to fight every step of the way. They
will have as many spokesmen at the
hearing on Wednesday as do the Hylan
forces and their leaders are preparing
facts and figures to offset the argu-
mentS of the opposition.

LA GUARDIA WOULD
ALTER TRANSIT BILL
Will Suggest Amendments to
Measure at Albany.

In Justification OF his attitude of oppo-
sition to the plan of Gov Miller for the
solution of the transit tangle in this city,
F. II. La Guardia, President of the Board
of Aldermen, has gathered the opinions
of city officials in regard to the opera
ton of State commissions with power
over local transit affairs in various
States.
In sending these opinions to Senator
William Duggan, New York city men,
Der of the Public Service Committee of
the Senate. Mr.. La Guardia intimated
they were meant as reply to the Gov
ernors who have commended the laws
giving Statewide control over local
transit matters. Three weeks ago the
Governors views were made public by
Governor Miller's secretary in Albany.
Mr. La Guardia said in the course of
few days he would suggest some
amendments to the transit bill.
As might be expected, the city off,
ciars spoke strongly in favor of home
rule. and President La Guardia ended
his letter to Senator Duggan:
THUS you will see that In almost
every instance, with the exception of
Massachusetts,. the actual test has
proved unsatisfactory and unfair to the
cities interest. In the case of Massa-
chusetts the system is largely intercity,
and they frankly state that conditions
there are not comparable to .hise ex-
isting in New York city"

CHANGES PREPARED
IN TRANSIT MEASURE
G. 0. P. Legislators Seek to
Avoid Loss of Votes at
Next Election.

All OF the Republican members of the
Legislature from New York county got
together at the headquarters of the Re-
publican County Committee yesterday
and prepared amendments to the Gov
ernor's transit bill in accordance with
warnings by Samuel S. Koenig that the
bill, if put through as 1t stands, would
cost the party many votes later on.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose Of hearing the report of COM
mittee composed OF Senator'S Duggan,
Meyer and Tolbert and Assemblymen
Rayher, Fox, Ullman and Steinberg,
which was named a week ago to con-
slider possible action on the bill. Mr..
koenig was present and took an active
part in the discussions.
1t was explained. following the meet-
ing, that the amendments which the
legislators present adopted indicate the
sentiment of the majority of the Man
haitian delegation. The members of the
delegation. however, have done nothing
to bind their vote, and 1t Is expected
that five or six will vote against the bill
The amendments which are TO be in
troduced at Albany include the fol-
lowing:
Provide that there shall be no increase
in fare until the plan for a unified sys-
tenn has been agreed to. the contracts
signed, sealed and delivered and opera
tive.
Provide that when the Board of Esti-
mate does not agree with any feature
of the plan as formulated by the Transit
Commission, 1t shall go to the Appellate
Division of the Supreme Court which
shall act as an arbiter and have the
final decision.
Clarity the provision for taking over
the property of the companies at it's
physical valuation" so there can be
not the slightest shadow of doubt that
good will and franchises shall not be
paid for
During the meeting 1t became known
several of the upper Manhattan members
continued to hold the opinion that the
Miller bill should be opposed In its en-
tirety. These men expressed the opinion
also that provision should be made
against an increase in fare without the
city's consent. Mr.. Koenig explained
that there was no attempt to force these
men into line. He added that there Is
little likelihood of caucus of the New
York members, and that all of them will
be left to folloN their views.

WATER POWER NEXT ON
MILLER'S PROGRAMME
Also Plans Air Patrol to Fight
Forest Fires.

Members of the Legislature in this
city for the week end said yesterday that
the next message Gov. Miller would di-
rect to them would be on the subject of
water power. He would recommend
they said, that the State take UP devel-
opment of the 100000 horse power in
the State and lease 1t for operation to
private companies.
The Governor has been in consultation
with William Barclay Parsons, Herbert
Hoovsr and other eminent engineers in
regard TO this project and is convinced
that II should be undertaken. The saw
ing In the cost os power to the industries
OF the State, the Governor believes,
would equal the cost of the development
Ira the course of three or four years.
Another matter the Governor has on
his mind is doing away with the fire
rangers in the forest preserves, turning
their duties over TO the State Police,
which shall establish a fire patrol by
means OF aeroplanes. II is understood
that George ID. Pratt, the Conservation
Commissioners. is opposed to the latter
scheme

problem Of how TO secure from honorable
students the evidence sometimes neces-
sary to punish cheaters. In all colleges
and in all times the name of "squealer''
has been detested, and straightforward
boys would often go to extreme lengths
to avoid telling on" college mates they
knew to be guilty Of improper conduct
or Of some rank dishonorable action.
The solution, Princeton thinks, is to
leave action in such cases solely and
strictly to the students themselves, the
faculty keeping out of such cases en-
tirely until 1t receives from the students
a recommendation as to what should be
done.
A radical step toward complete stu.
dent government was taken this weel
when the faculty unanimously voted tc
put into the hands of the Senior Council
the student governing body selected b,
the undergraduates, the power to dis
miss student from the university with
out stating the cause to the faculty
Under this ruling the Senior Council will
have the power to deal, unhampered an6
without reporting any evidence. with
cabes which, in their estimation, tend Il
lower the moral tone or injure the gooc
name Of Princeton.
This step grows out OF the develop
ment Of the honor system, which was
established at Princeton twenty-eighi
years ago. All examinations are con-
Quoted under this system and without
faculty supervision. Students are a,
liberty to converse while examinations
are going on, to leave the class rooms

Amendments to the transit bill arc
being completed tonight and will be
ready for presentation to the Legisla-
ture when it reconvenes Monday. Gov.
Miller the leaders Of the two houses
and the experts of the bill drafting
bureau are at work preparing the sew
eral clauses which will meet objec-
tions filed during the last few days.
Suggestions and criticisms Of mu-
nicipal officials and others are being
weighed and in so far as possible will
be incorporated in the new provisions.
1t can be stated, however, that the es-
sentials of the big measure will not be
altered The State will retain the
authority to deal with the situation, III
New York city particularly, through
the exercise of it's supreme police
power.
The little excitement stirred up here
Thursday by tie action of the corpora
ton counsels of twenty-five or more
cities, who went on record as opposing
the bill in it's existing form, had sub
sided to-day. Gov. Miller's calmness
In the face of the criticism steadied the
Legislature.
Leaders said to-day that the action
of the municipal officials had not
changed the situation In either house.
They reasserted their confidence that
the bill would pass by safe majorities
without the exercise of the all power
full party caucus to force wobbly Re-
publicans into line. There is no inten-
ton of using the caucus unless it APP
pears the bill is in doubt.
Opposition voiced by the legal ad-
visers of cities who complained that
municipal franchises were being treated
like scraps of paper was overcome 10
a large degree to-day by the Governors s
clear analysis of that provision of the
bill which has come to be called the
abrogation of contracts.
The contention of the Mayors and
others that they were losing valuable
assets of the municipalities is cleared
away by the Governors statement that
every clause and term in every fran
chise will be honored and protected
Instead of being abrogated, the fran
chises are to be enforced as they have
never been under the lax authority OF
city administration.
The outcome Of the transit fight will
be determined mainly this week. Fol-
lowing the Introduction of the amend
ments, the completed bill will be pre-
sented for discussion at the public hear

CHAPTER |. JOHNSON
ANTI MILLER SERIAL
Senator Starts to Give Daily
Quotations and Comments
on Transit Bill.

Senator Hiram w. Johnson OF Cali.
fornia, hired by Mayor Hylan as spe-
cial counsel for the city administra-
tion in the fight against the programme
Of Gov. Miller for solving the transit
problem here, made public yesterday
the first chapter in his traction serial
1t was explained by the Senator that
each chapter would consist OF quo
tation from the transit bill with his
comment thereon.
The purpose of these excerpts from
Gov. Miller's traction BILL" said he
is to enable the people for themselves
to measure the revolutionary character
of the legislation. without argument
from the reading of the exact quota
tions made 1t Is obvious that the en-
deavor Is to destroy local seIf-govern-
ment so far as rapid transit is con-
cerned, to take over property indubi-
tably belonging to the city, and 10
place over the city In its relations "a
traction companies a super government
which may act without the city's con-
sent and against it's protest"
Here is Chapter L.:
The bill provides that the Transit
Commission may change fares (p. 36),
Notwithstanding that a higher or
lower rate, fare or charge has been
heretofore prescribed, by general or
special statute, contract, grant. fran
chtse, condition, consent or other
agreement"
The italicized words are new. And
then at the end of the paragraph are
these words:
ANY such change in rate, fare or
charge, shall be upon such terms,
conditions, safeguards or readjust-
ment of franchise or contract rights
of obligations. as the commission
may prescribe"
Note that the commission may
prescribe 'readJustment of franchise
or contract rights or obligations"
Ask yourselves in relation to the SUBJ
ject matter: What limit is there to
the power of the commission?
This provision is an amendment to the
existing law, Section 49,
The serial will be continued to-mor-
row.
Discussing the bill yesterday the Sem
ator said he felt it was of the greatest
Importance to make the public under-
stand the bill, which. he asserted, must
have been in preparation for MANY.
