Court Reserves Decision
In Venner-I. X. +. Acti0n
Banker and 1,po Companies
Oppose Examination Of Of
ficers in Suit Oper Notes

Justice Burr heard argument ycster-
day and reserved decision on the mo-
tions of Clarence III. Yenner, banker,
and the General Investment Company
and the Continental Securities Com
pany, of which corporations Venner is
president, to have vacated an order to
examine the officers of the two COM
panics in suit against the INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit Company.
Venncr and his companies arc suing
On notes Of the lnterborough, aggrcgat-
ing $4,000, held by the three plaintiffs.
The defendant asked for the eXamina
ton of the officers of the Venner con-
Germs, so that it might make an attir-
NATIVE answer.
1t was explained that at the maturity
cf the notes the holders took them to
the Office Of j. p. Morgan e. Co. for
payment, but received only the inter
est, the notes still remaining unpaid.
Louis j. Vorhaus, counsel for the plain
tiifs, told the court that the INTERIOR
Ough had made the. sham defense that
it did not know whether the plaintiffs
were the holders of the notes and upon
this ground obtained the order of
examination. Mr.. Vorhaus said his
receiver for the Interborough in fore
closure proceedings, but were only
suing, to recover on notes that were
past due.
The refusal of the directors to an
swer questions in the hearing before
the Transit Commission, said Mr.. Vor-
haus, was because they knew their
answers would prove the charges Of
MIR. Nenncr.

Interborough, told the court that not

Unions Score Contractors
For Their Lax Methods
Committees Instructed to Dra,o
Up Bills Providing for Lii
cenSing and Examination

Aroused by the collapse last Tuesday
OF the American Thcater, which was in
course OF construction in BROOKLYN
aelegates from unions in the building
trades last night scored the lax methods
OF contractors, at a meeting of the Cen
tral Trades and Labor Council of
greater New York and vicinity at Bee
thovcn Hall, 2l0 Fifth Street. The
men urged the enactment of leeisla.
tioil which would place check on these
contractors and provide safeguards for
the workmen.
The executive committee Of the
trades body was instructed to draw nm
suitable ordinance and the legisla-
i've committee was ordered to draw IN
a Dill that would provide for the licens-
ing and cxami1ation of contractors in
1ne building trades before they could
undertake any construction work. The
bills nrc also to provide for cyerv nos
slble safeguard for those actually ON
gagged in the work.
Edward J. Moran, delegate from the
cXrpenters' Union, introduced the sub
}ect and referred to the disastrous
tneater collapse as "sad memorial to
the inefficiency of the contractors of
to-day In the building trades at the
present time, he said, only plumbers
licenses.
James Sommervilie, representing the
lronworkers' Union, supported Moran
and spoke of the hazardous conditions
IN his calling. He declared that the
worklngmen dared not complain re-
garding. the unsafe conditions. for if
they did the contractors would replace
them.
THE contractors are getting awav
with murder" he said. every time
legislation was introduced at ALBANY
to remedy the situation powerful
groups succeeded in defeating it,

$2,OOO,OOO,O Oil
Company Reported
Forming in Boston
Will Absorb Many Concerns
and Be Known as World
Commerce Company, Ac-
cording to the Story
specsa. Dispatch to rho Tribune

BOSTON, Dec. 1.-The Boston
Financial News Service printed the for
lowing story on its ticker this after
noon:
"There is now in process Of organ
ization the largest company in the his
thorized capital Of S2,000,000, 900, Or
double the size of the United States
Steel Corporation. The company is
to absorb oil companies in various
parts Of the world.
"The new company is to be known
as the World Commerce Company. The
capital is to consist OF 100000 600
shares of preferred stock and 100000
900 shares of common stock each OF
$40 par.
"It is understood the Land, Title and
Trust Company Of Philadelphia is now
working out the details, which are ex
pected to be announced in the not dis
tant future.
"At the moment it is known that
nine oil companies are already lined up
to become part of the new organiza-
tion, and while the names of such are
not now available for publication, it is
known that five Of them arc well known
concerns.
"The new combine will include oil
companies Of the United States, Cen
LTdl ana OOuLn AWcTlCd anu OtHcI pdIto
of the world, and four Of the companies
are not very well known to the Ameri-
can public.
s'Just what proportion of the author
lied capital will be issued at the time
Of organization is problematical, as the
companies which will go into the new
combine will exchange their shares for
those OF the World Commerce Com
pany, and thus the outstanding capital
Of the new company will be regulated
by the number and size Of the COM
panies becoming part of the new or
ganization.
There has been some talk that the
Standard Oil Company is interested in
the organization, but no confirmation of
this can be had at the moment. 1t is
said, however, that the Mexican Pctro-
leum Company will not be included.
On the other hand, the Trans-Conti-
mental Oil Company is said to be one of
the American companies that will be
included.

new company is to place the United

5 Sub-Contractors Freed in
$4,000 Bail Each; 9TH
Body Identified; Missing
Worker Returns for Coat

District Attorney Harry r.. Lewis Of
Brooklyn yesterday began an investiga-
tion to ascertain how extensively tho
inspectors of the Building Department.
had examined the structure Of the
American Thcater, at 787 Bedford Ave-
nue., which collapsed on Tuesday, kill
ing seven workmen and seriously in
juring eleven others.
In this connection he requested Albert
E. kloinert, Superintendent Of Build
ings in Brooklyn, to supply him with
every report made to the bureau on
this particular building, together with
the name Of the inspector making each
report. MIR. Lewis said he would ex-
amino these carefully and then ques-
tion each of the inspectors.
The investigation of the Kings
County prosecutor into the materials
used in the construction of the theater
virtually has been completed. Experts
now are going over the plans and speci-
tications, and it is expected they will
report soon.
Mr.. Lewis said he had reached @ con-
clusion, which was growing in strength,
but that he could not say anything
about it until the report Of the ex-
ports had been completed.
The five sub-contractors who were
arrested Wednesday on charges of
having "hsed inferior material were
arraigned before Magistrate Liota in
tho Gates Avenue Court yesterday and
released in $4,000 bail each. Their
cases were continued until December 8.
az were those Of Samuel Moskowitz and
Sylvester Rosenthal, the general con-
tract, rs and owners. who arc under
bond of $4,000, each.
The seventh body that was taken out
Of the wrcckage Wednesday was iden-
tlted yesterday as that Of George
Schmelling, of Milwaukee. Schmelling
was known here as George Smith, and
lived at 1108 Manhattan Avenue. lie
had wife and child in Milwaukee.
James Rinaldi, a plasterer, of $50
Sackman Street, whose two coats.
waistcoat and hat were dug out Of the
wreckage, appeared yesterday and
claimed them. He said he had a mar
row escape, which had SO unnerved him
that he had gone home and to bed.
1t was said yesterday that virtually
every one engaged on the building at
the time it collapsed had now been ac-
counted for and that there was no pos

object and be withdrawn from the
stand"
II think that ia the species Of i'm
munity we can give thcm," said Chair
man McAneny.
Thcre being no further comment
from Mr.. Belmont, Chairman McAncny
asked counsel il they had any rehec-
tions to make on the suggestion Of Mr..
reconsidered by the directors.
Mr.. Milburn, speaking for all the
directors, said he did not think it worth
| while to leave the question open.
ut is here in IA definite form, and no
postponing or del;iv would accomplish
any result" said Mr.. Milburn. "Thc
situation has been carefully considered
and my clients will not sign any waiv-
crs. No client Of m,nc ever has or
ever will sign such paper, because
there is only one implication to be
drawn from it and that is the suggcs-
tion that he is a criminal"
Chairman McAneny then dismissed
the directors, saying there was no
other course to pursue. He added:
II would like to say OH tho part of
the commission that while this seems
to be an unfortunate interruption of it's
inquiry along certain lines, we shall be
bound to continue to secure what we
lack, although l confess that at the
| moment we have no particular course
or particular remedy in sight
"This is no ordinary matter. These
gentlemen are not merely the directors
a sense the trustees of public prop
erty, trustees Of public interests that
touch the people more closely than per
haps does any other. We cannot share
the view taken by Mr.. Milburn that a
waiver under these circumstances inn
plies anything more than an accept
ance of what has become a practice
designed to prevent court or other
tribunal having duties such as arc i'm
posed upon this commission"
After the directors had worked their
way out of the crowded examination
room Horace M. Fisher. secretary Of
the Interborougl., was recalled to give
further testimony concerning the loans
and dividends of the transit company.
Mr.. Shcarn placed in evidence records
having to do with the Finance and
Holding Corporation, the concern which
merged with the Inter Met and later
the Interborough Consolidated. This
was the amalgamation which Mr..
Shearn termed illegal at previous
hearing.
Third Avenue Road Inquiry
The commission devoted the after
noon session to beginning an investiga-
tion Of the Third Avenue Railway COM
pany, calling as witnesses Slaughter w.
Huff, president; Albert T.. Davidson,
general counsel, and Bernard e. Stein
itz, auditor.
The commission then adjourned until
next Tuesday morning, when it will be-
gin an investigation Of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company. Remaining
phases of the Interborough and Third
Avenue will be taken up later.
The filing of another suit against the
Interborough claiming Judgment for
81 600 on notes on which the company.
dcfaulted interest last September was
reported yesterday. The action was
brought in the Municipal Court No

$4,000 worth of Intcrborough notes.

rs to the purpose of his actions the
real object was for the appointment os
receiver. Mr.. Nicoll said that out Of
$38,000,O00 Of notes similar to those
owned by Venner and his corporations.
$36,000,000 had been renewed for an
other year and only $2,O00,000 were
outstanding that had not been renewed;
Of at the rate tie Of $so,ooo or $4,000 a
day. He added that Judge MnyerSin

nection with one OF the claims now tho

The Worth of a Train
ing in Liberal Arts

Asst Spring Mr.. Edison
- asked a few questions Of
some college graduates who APP
piled to him for positions.
Among them were these:
Where is Tallahasseea
What city in the United
States leads in making laun-
dry machines?
What kind of wood is used
in making kerosene oil bar
rciS?
Few graduates could answer
even a large percentage of Mr..
Ed;son's questions. Some peo-
pie thought this proved that the
colleges had been wasting their
time.
Mr.. Edison's questions were
unquestionably stimulating.
Some kinds of ignorance estab-
iish a presumption of unhtness.
But one could scarcely wish to
make the mind a substitute for
the encyclopedia.
A student must learn facts;
he must learn to reason from
those facts with thoroughness
and with sense of intellectual
responsibility; but the greatest
contribution of the years of
study in liberal arts is to the
students sense of values.
We may forget the formula
of chemistry, but we can~never
forget the significance of the
chemical organization of mat
ter, or think as we should think
five had not known it.
We may forget the oates and
names of history, but we can
never lose entirely the gift of
proportion and perspective
which it's outlooks bring.
The aim of our college train
ing in New York University is
to formulate and to interpret
the ideals of human life in the
light Of history and science; to
cultivate in our students an en-
lightened and disciplined imag-
ination.
To do this successfully is to
prepare men for genuine leader
ship.
