which are very satisfactory. Lines
of this company have become models
of promptitude. Cars are now run
with a precision of adherence to
schedule formerly deemed impossible.
The crews have not been changed. 1t
is their vision which has been ad-
justed to a wider horizon. That
came when they ceased to be con-
ductors and motormen and became
salesmen having full and clear un-
derstanding of the direct relation
existing between the volume of sales
and their own personal interest. 1t
is merely matter of education and
the sane spirit of cooperation result
ing therefrom.

A Better Subway Service.

The subway riders yesterday had a
practical example of the difference
between politics and business in the
direction of New York's transporta-
tion. The Interborough, by order Of
the Transit Commission, put on 246
additional trains.
OF course the travellers in the rush
hours did not observe much improve
ment. 1t was impossible for the main
lines, such as Lexington avenue and
Seventh avenue, to use many more
trains, the tracks having been filled
to 95 per cent. of their capacity in the
rush hours before the new order went
into effect.
The only cure for the ills of the
rush hours lies in the construction of
new subways. The great program
already mapped by the Transit Com
mission provides for these. The West
Side subway, now painfully over
crowded, will be paralleled by the
double deck trunk line planned for
Eighth avenue.
But yesterdays reform showed a
fine improvement in the non-rush SER
vice, the number Of trains being in
creased on some lines as much as so
per cent. Shoppers will benefit par
ticularly by the whipping up of travel
facilities at all hours between 10 A.
M. and 5 p. M.
The Transit Commission has done
about all that can be done for the
next three months, for it has COM
PEELED the Interborough to put all its
reserve crews at work. In Septem-
ber, when there are more trained
motormen and guards and more cars
for them to operate, the town will see
a second speeding up in readiness for
the increased travel which will fol-
low the vacation season.

CHILE LEAVES DOOR
OPEN TO ARBITRATION
Wants Method of Plebiscite to
Be Determined.

WASHINGTON, May 81 (Associated
Press) .--Pcru's proposal to arbitrate the
long disputed sovereignty OF Tacna-
africa has failed of complete acceptance
by Chile. but the Chilean response as
presented to-day in the Chilean-Peruvian
conference here leaves the door open Tor
further discussion.
In principle. the Chilean plenipoten-
tiaries are understood to have signified
their willingness that arbitration be en-
ployed.
To arbitrate the question Of whether
plebiscite should be held in the con-
tested provinces, however, as provided
in the treaty OF Ancon was viewed by
Chile in her reply as quite another mat
ter. According to the Chilean attitude
the arbitration should more properly
take the form of determining In what
manner the plebiscite is to be carried
out W
In no quarter was the Chilean re-
sponse looked upon as her final word
and optimism over the prospects OF an
agreement still was professed tonight
on both sides.

Does the knighted prophet Of the new

consequences is blasphemy pure ana

Modern spiritism is simply the old

God abominates such things. (Deut.

doing something similar to-day.
The demon Is a masquerading spirit

plays a leading part in necromancy
whether old or new. Hence I hold that
the prophet of the new revelation Is
not only knighted but also benighted

Clearing the Irish Air.

The speech made in Parliament
yesterday by WINSTON SPENCER
CHURCHILL on the Irish situation
was frank and should be clarifying.
The Empire will not tolerate a re.
public in Ireland. What Is more per-
tinent to the present state of politics
in southern Ireland. the De Valera
faction will not be able TO take a
hand in the management of the Pro-
visional Government OF the Irish
Free State and at the same time re-
tain republican ambitions. DE VALERA
cannot eat his cake and have IL.
When Mr.. CHURCHILL declared that
the recent agreement between the
Free State leaders and the republi-
cans imperiled the treaty between
England and Ireland he had refer
ence to Article XVII. of that treaty,
which provides that. until an Irish
election is held and the Free State
formally established, the provisional
control OF Irish affairs shall be
vested in the members Of Parlia-
ment chosen in southern Ireland at
the last election. provided that
every member of such provisional
government shall have signified in
writing his or her acceptance of this
instrument"

The Mongrel Bonus Bill Now Out
on Stormy Sea.

McCUMBER, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee. has finally got
his bonus bill before the Senate. He
got 1t before the Senate through the
Democrats on the committee.
When the bonus bill came up in
the Finance Committee on May "a
Chairman McCUMBER found he didn't
have enough Republican members to
put it through. The best he could do
in his own camp was to muster five
votes for it, including his own, to
tive against 1t.
Then it was that in his desperation
the Republican chairman of the Sen
ate Finance Committee, thrown down
by his own party, begged the Demo
Gratis to save him and his bonus
measure. Five Democrats came
across with demoniacal glee over
this opportunity to do the Republi-
can party.
This unholy political alliance
raised such a row with the Old
Guard faithfuls that MCLEAN OF Con-
necticut, who until yesterday op-
posed reporting out the McCumber
hill, wabbled himself into hne with
McCUMBER. This flop gave the COM
mittee six Republican members for
the bill to four against it. With the
three Democrats who voted for it
yesterday the committee had enough
bonus votes to get the McCumber bill
before the Senate after five or six
weeks of dreary jockeying, and even
this couldn't have been done with
out Democratic help.
This McCumber bill is much the
same thing as the miserable Fordney
bill--a bill that gives satisfaction to
no one. The American Legion is out
for cash money-not promises OF
money long years ahead. Raiding the
Treasury to get the American Legion
vote is political lunacy for Republi-
cans. The fact is that the element
of the American Legion clamoring
for the bonus doesn't march under
the Republican banner.
The Republicans who are mixed up
in and party to this bonus Treasury
raiding measure are selling their
birthright for a mess of pottage.
They are false to the folks back
home who sent them to Congress,
false to themselves, and they ought
to be driven out of public life.

DR.. John A. Wyeth.
Circumstances That Led Him to

To THE NEW York HERALD; May l
add a word to the tribute you pay 10
my old friend DR.. John Allan Wyeth?
Let me quote from his book with
Saber and Scalpel' his reason for be-
ginning the course which eliminated
In the founding of the New York Poly
clinic Hospital. He had been gradu-
ated from the medical department OF
tho University of Louisville and begun
to practice medicine at Guntersville,
Ala. Then:
II cannot describe my feelings nor
measure the depth of my depression
and despair as I watched this patient
die. I was overwhelmed with the con-
viction that was unfit to take the
grave responsibility of the life and
health and happiness of those who might
be willing to place themselves under my
care needed clinical and laboratory
training under teachers Of experience.
and determined to give up my prac-
tice until could secure this training"

obtained pilots license-and fees
and advanced so far as to go into the
business for himself. The curious still
may read "Wyeth--1s72" over the door
of the Jail he built at Augusta. Ark.
His employer wanted him to come in
as partner; was sure that together they
could make a fortune. But young
.Wyeth had other aims. With the
$4,000 he had saved by three years OF
hard work and hard scrimping he went
to New York, Paris, London and other
cities Of Europe, where he studied elm
ical and therapeutic medicine under
able doctors.
At last, fortified with practical expe-
rience In healing the sick, he began the
career that has earned the grateful
praise Of thousands. But this alone
was not his aim: he could not rest
until he had established an institution
in which doctors could acquire similar
experience under like guidance. Thus
he founded the New York Polyclinic
Hospital. developed 1t. and with the
service of devoted associates and the
aid of friends made it the great center
