NOTABLES ARE ARRIVALS

After being out of service two
weeks in Liverpool to have defective
turbine made shipshape, the Cunarder
Mauretania, swiftest liner in the
world, arrived yesterday from South
ampton and Cherbourg with speed
record from the latter port OF five
days seven hours and thirty-three
minutes at an average of PAIL knots.
The true speed measurement is told
by the hourly average rather than
the length OF the trip. The run 1t
finished yesterday does not approach
its record between Queenstown and
Sandy Hook twelve years ago of four
days ten hours and forty-one MIN
utes at an average of 26.06 knots.
The passage from Cherbourg indicates
that the Mauretania is going to make It
possible for voyagefs from New York TO
eat dinner in London on the fifth day
from Sandy Hook after 1t begins calling
at Plymouth on it's eastward runs. The
first sailing for Plymouth is set for next
Tuesday. The French Line recently re-
vived the fashion of big ships touching
at Plymouth, so passengers for London
might make better speed to that city.
1t is possible that the commander of the
Mauretania, Capt. Rostron may strive

interest Of accuracy and truthfulness
and for the purpose of determining who
is who in this matter of lying" The
counselor then spread upon the record
this utterance by the Mayor on Oc-
tober Fl. in comment upon the bus testi-
mony of the preceding day:
They tried to create the impression
yesterday that l am in favor of city bus
operation so that some particular person
or firm might be able to write insurance
The fact is that the business of writing
bus insurance was started by the Repub-
lfcan Legislature passing the bill making
Ut compulsory for all public bus and
hack operators to insure against acct
dents.
1T was shown that this bill became
effective only last July, whereas on
April 16 last Mr.. Whalen. addressing his
assembled bus men, told them: You
all know the courts recently decided that
the city of New York is not responsible
for damages resulting from bus acct
dents. Now. somebody must be respon-
sible and as the official charged with the
responsibility for the bus operation. I'm
not going TO permit men to operate
buses unless they are in some way in
sured against liability. You must take
final"
This proved. Mr.. Shearn declared, that
Mayor iIylan's own administration had
forced bus owners to take out insur-
ance several months before a Republic
can Legislature made that obligation
mandatory.
Mr.. Shearn said he knew OF no court
holding the city not liable for dana ges
from bus accidents.

When the examination of Mr.. Fox
was resumed he told how "Sol' Green

active In distributing circulars announc-
ing Mr.. FoX's meeting. was dismissed
on the day after the meeting, but sub
sequently was restored to the service

Mr.. Fox said he saw Commissioner
Whalen in the hope that he might be

undertake to purge the bus department
of graft. but objected 10 disclosing his
case in the presence Of employees of
Mr.. Whalen's department and because
he thought Mr. Whalen's purpose was

Later Mr.. Fox and his counsel, Ber-
nGrd Shepard. met Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Fertig Fox told Fertig
about the graft evidence and Fertig
asked, "Whalen does not want to listen
to IT." adding that he believed that II
Mayor Hylan knew any SUCH corruption
or graft existed "he would be willing
10 have it sifted and cleaned out inn
niediately.' It was left in Mr.. Fertig 5
hands and several days later, as result
Of Mr.. Fertig's intercession, there was
another meeting in Mr.. Whalen's office.
At this session the Commissioner agreed
10 investigate the charges of graft. but
Mr.. Fox said the conditions laid down
