TIMELY SERVICE MAN
FOUND GUILTY OF FRAUD
Jury Asks Mercy for Mes
scrUy, Who Exploited Soldiers

George Messervy. head OF the Timely
Service Society, Inc. was pronounced
guilty yesterday by jury before Judge
Francis Y. Mancuso IN General Sessions
of obtaining money under false prctense.
Meservy. who lived at l05 Joralcmon
street, Brooklyn. was arrested last Oc-
tober charged with employing former
service men, chorus girls and others to
solicit funds for his society the pur-
pose OF which he said was TO aid the
unemployed. lie collected more than
5000 In n year. and only s55 was spent
in giving relief TO jobless men
When the jury made a recommended
tion for mercy Judge Mancuso said the
courts should not be too lenient with
pcrsons who took advantage of the lib-
cfality OF the American citizen.

set. Mark for workmen.

Turning to the matter Of rates. Mr..
Elliott said these were thought by many
to have been too low before the war
Mr.. Elliott acknowledged that some fur
ther economies are possible. but these
must wait on two things, the first OF
which was the spending OF money for
the creation Of better facilities. The
second factor he defined thus:
/ 'It Is the actual price paid to the in
divdual workman and the development
in him OF spirit that 1t is his duty as
an American citizen to do all that he can
to bring down the cost of transportati tion
because OF the help such reduction will
be in working out the soundest possible
economic scheme for the whole country.
This same idea, in my humble opinion,
ought to be applied to those who work
in mines. factories and forests because
fuel and material prices affect all and
very largely depend on the efficiency OF
the individual man and the wage paid"
Mr.. Elliott declared against the strike,
saying in part:
Labor unions are all right when they
are so conducted that waste is eliminated
and they are an efficient and economical
instrument OF society. There is a place
in this country for wisely directed labor
unions. but no place for labor tyranny.
Society Is getting ready to discard the
strike as a weapon for settling indus
trial disputes because Il Is unhuman and
uneconomical-the sooner the better for
the good of ALL"
In closing Mr.. Elliott said
Railroads are common carriers OF
people and property: they are not COM
mon carriers Of all the economic troubles
OF the country. These cannot be cured
by reducing rates. by running the rail-
roads and perhaps forcing Government
ownership 10 which tNis country is OPP
posed. Give brains. courage and man
agement a chance once mere. Declare a
ten year holiday in the ceaseess investi-
cation OF the transportation question and
let undivided attention and energy OF
owners, managers and employees be de
voted to maintaining. operating and per-
fcctinE this engine Of civilization. the
wonderful railroad system of the United
States"

MILEAGE BOOK ISSUE
DIVIDES THE SENATE
seecial Dispatch 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Waships pstOn. ID. c., Jan. 10.


Pronounced sentiment prevails in the
Senate TO authorize the railroads to issue
mileage books. as a matter Of conve-
nience and economy for the travelling
public. Some Senators feel that Con-
gress has authority to order the roads
to issue the books. discontinued when
the Federal Government took charge.
while others contend that the matter Is
one for the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to decide. For two days the
matter has been before the upper house
almost to the exclusion OF all other busi-
ncsg
Senator Robinson (Arl.) Is the leader
OF the group who feel Congress has full
power to order the railroads to issue the
mileage books and to fix the rate. He
has sponsored bill along that line set
ting the rate at ~ cents a mile.
Senator Cummins Gowa) opposed the
Robinson bill on several grounds. He
declared 1t obviously unconstitutional"
that il not unconstitutional unwise for
Congress 10 fix passenger or freight
rates. He also said the proposed bill
would take authority from the States to
fix rates on lines within their borders.

Capitalism Comes Back.

In other words capitalism is back
again--harsher and more powerful than
it ever was under the Cars. Instead
OF the patriarchal old merchants Of the
time Of Nicholas the Second and Last
you will find very hard-fisted and COM
petent men of the Hugo SHINES type.
Some very big Russian millionaires and
capitalists will result from Bolshevism
and the Bolsheviki would not at all OBJ
ject to SHINES himself coming into Rus
sia to put things in order for them.
though the feeble and impecunious
white Russians scattered throughout
western Europe have raised a wall OF
despair at the very idea OF the Germans,
English. French and Americans pre-
suming to exploit Holy Russia" Co
operation is very rife in Petrograd on
account OF the high prices in the mar
ket; and 1t is really kind of capitalism.
AS capitalism, after having been de-
clared dead. has come back more than
ever. so individualism. after having
been officially abolished. has raised
again a. head full of envy. corruption
and all uncharitableness. Hence the
contrast between the luxury Of the
Petrograd spectators and the poverty
OF the famine victims on the volga.
Even in places like Samara a wealthy
man can buy all the food he wants In
the hotels. while outside his window
children are dying OF starvation.
With this new individualism. hair
dressers are I'm great request among
both sexes. As the girls are bobbing
their heads more and more. while the
youths are letting their locks grow
longer and longer. the hair on the heads
OF each has attained about exactly the
same length. With regard to this mat
ter I have just been comparing the
head OF lad of about seventeen in the
post Office with that of a girl, aged
about twenty. in the same institution.
The boy has a magnificent mass OF
touseIed. fair hair. quito as long as that
of the girl who works beside him
Even the peasant girls powder their
faces and manicure themselves On Sun
days In the villages the women and girls
parade about in silks and satins, in white
stockings and white shoes, even in places
not far away from the famine area
These sharp contrasts In different Gov
ernments" were frequently noticed BY
travellers during past famines.

Special Correspondence TO THE New York
HERALD.
PETRoGRAD, via REvAL. Jan. 10.-Be-
fore the end OF another year every
american newspaper which cares to
do so will have its own correspondent
in Petrograd, and even the most anti
Bolshevist papers in France and Eng
land will enjoy the same privilege, for
Bolshevism is changing rapidly and
completely.
Ever since Lenine surrendered Com
munism in March last the change has
gone on very rapidly. Then it was
impossible for foreign visitor TO pay
for his room in a hotel, as he was the
guest of the Soviet Government, and
neither hotels nor anything else were
run for profit. Now he must book a
room in hotel exactly as if he were
in New York, and must pay nearly as
much for it. Then he could buy no
food in any authorized open market or
restaurant. Now Moscow is filing up
with new restaurants and new mar
kets.
The greatest baker and confectioner
in cid Russia was Philipoff, whose
principal establishments We're in Mos
COW, but who had many branch
houses in Petrograd also and always
ran excellent cafes in connection with
them. In short, he was to Moscow
and Petrograd what Sir Joseph Lyons
was to London. His obliteration by
,he Bolsheviki in 1917 was felt more
keenly by the inhabitants OF Moscow
than even the obliteration Of the Car;
but now, December, 1921. he has come
back again; and the many bakers and
cafe keepers who competed with him
have come back also. so that the two
greatest cities of Russia are fast re-
suming their old appearance.
