BUS CHANGE BEFORE
CROMPTON MEETING
Trackless Trolley Plans in
Richmond Revised Two
Months Earlier.
SHEARN ADMITS FACT
Cos9rove Adds Abs0lution of
Would-Be Agent for Atlas
Concern.
SHEARN ADMITS FACT

Ia yesterdays session of the Transit
Commissions bus investigation Clarence
]. Shearn, counsel to the commission.
admitted that the changes made in spe-
cifcations for Staten Islands trackless
trolley buses were made months before
the futile attempt or William r. Cromp-
ton TO have himself appointed sales
agent for the Atlas Truck Corporation.
Certain testimony taken last week in
which the witnesses, as II afterward ap-
pearsd. had mixed their dates led Mr..
Shearn to assume q significant connec-
ton between Mr.. Crompton's failure to
get the Atlas companys New York ter
ritory as sales agent at $4,000 year
and the change of specifications by
Commissioner Whalen's Department OF
Plant and Structures, which change seri-
ously handicapped the Atlas company In
competing for the building of additional
buses for the city after it had supplied
seven vehicles for operation In Staten
Island.
Allan r. Cosgrove, ce-presldent and
general manager of the Atlas concern.
who testified yesterday, made it clear
that his meeting with Crompton was on
May IL, 1922. while the revised specifi-
cations for the new traclSless trolley
buses on which competitive bids were to
be based. were made more than two
months earlier than that date.
Mr.. Shearn Explains.
'In fairness to Mr.. Crompton," said
Mr. Shearn, II will state that 1t now does
not appear that the specifications were
changed because Crompton was not re-
tanned as New York salesman at $4,000
a year by the Atlas company"
Mr.. Cosgrove absolved Crompton from
any responsibility in bringing about the
change In specifications. The witness
testified however, that Crompton had
shown him a photograph of himself
marching at the head of the Tammany
Society's Liberty Day parade between
Mayor Hylan and Charles F. Murphy as
an indication of how / stand politically
in New York" This interview occurred
In York, Pa. where the corporations
factory is located.
After radical changes had been made
I'm the specifications the contract was
awarded to the Trackless Trolley Cor
poration OF New York. the Atlas concern
being the only other bidder.
Mr. Cosgrove obviously was a reluc-
tant witness, but he protested against
Mr. Shearns assumption that he had
come from York ito whitewash the De
partment of Plant and Structures" and
declared that all his dealings with the
city had been honorable and open and
above board The witness said the
change in length of wheel base and
other radical alterations in the bus speci-
fications had been made under the adj
vice of Prof. Morton Arendt. of the de-
partment of electrical engineering of
Columbia University, who had been re-
tanned as an expert by the City Depart
ment of Plant and Structures.

MIGHT HAVE SHORTENED WAR
English Soldiers scruples, Which
Did Him Honor, Prolonged Fight
ing in South Africa.

A military correspondent of the
Manchester (Eng) Guardian writes:
IN q life as replete with adventure
as was that of Christian De Wet dur
ing the Boer war, there were said to
have been countless occasions when
the Boer hero went near to death.
The nearest occurred In 1901, when
the guerrilla leader, at the height of
his fame, was extricating his raiding
Colony. He was headed off by sew
eral of the pursuing detachments.
From one Of these couple of very
young British cavalry troopers had
been sent on a forward patrol They
stopped at a wayside store and
stabbed their horses in a back shed.
"When the Boer commando came
through in haste the woman of the
store, who was friendly to the two
English boys, sent them up into the
garnet above her shop. Here they
crouched with their rifles at the ready
while the scouts and the main body
of the commando went through. Then
Cape cart came along and drew up
at the store to elicit some informa-
ton. In it were seated Christian De
Wet and President Steyn.
''The corporal recognized De Wet
from the pictures he had seen, but
though his finger was upon the trig-
ger his heart failed him. AS he said
in cross-examination afterward: L
had not the heart to shoot man In
"civies" in cold blood This lads
natural scruples probably prolonged
the Boer war by eighteen months. OF
such Incidents is history made"

Mhn MrIte2

At recent meeting Of a London
literary club an author gave an adj
dress on the subject. "Why Writer"
Lest anyone should accuse him Of
adopting any pose Of literary Phari-
salsm, he frankly treated his theme
autobiographically and for this purpose
set out automatically his motives (a)
when he first began to write, and (b)
at the present day. In the first case
the total was made UP Of so per cent
ambition, % per cent vanity, 20 per
cent the urge to earn living and 8
per cent something to say. In the
second case ambition had disappeared
and the proportions had changed to
so per cent earning a living, IS per

say.

Patrol svstem Tor Roads.

The federal government requires the
several states to maintain federal aid
roads after they have been built,
writes Charles Pierce Burton in Har-
per's Magazine. This is leading in.
eyitably to a general adoption by the
states of the patrol system of main
tenance, which has been brought to
great perfection in France.
The patrol system is intensified
maintenance. A section Of from five
to ten miles Is allotted to one man,
who constantly watches for defects
and repairs break at once, instead
Of waiting for the entire road to go
to pieces before doing anything which
until recently, was the American plan.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
other things besides liberty.

Experience in driving, all over

What can be done, and what
should be done as speedily as
possible is to secure uniformity
of warning signals given by op-

NINE STUDEBAKER
VETERAN CARS
SCORE RECORDS

A remarkable test of motor
car economy and reliability In
which nine veterans of motor
dom participated, was recently
held on the Pacific coast. All
nine cars were Studebaker Big
Skies. Prior to the contest, they
had covered, In everyday serV-
fee. a total OF 1,333,403 miles
an average Of 148,15s miles per
car.
Before the run the two "pa-
trlarchs" among the nine contest
ants showed mileage records of
250,0o0 and $4,000 miles respect
lively. The minimum mileage
showed on the speedometer of any
OF the cars was 62,007 miles. The
contest stands as the first Of its
kind ever held, and proved a
practical and convincing demon
stration of motor car stamina, re-
liability and economy.
The course of the run was from
Los Angeles to Big Bear valley.
and return, a distance of 2S9
miles, of which 80 miles were
over steep, rough mountain roads
that necessitated stamina in ev-
cry part. Each of the veteran
cars reached every checking sta
tion on time, and only two failed
of perfect scores, one having dirt
in the gasoline pipe and the other
requiring a slight adjustment of
the brakes
The veteran cars were taken
from everyday service TO enter
the contest and were returned TO
their owners Immediately after
the run.
Curiously enough. the two cars
