Transit Commission
Gets $4,000 Job
Done for Nothing
Entire Years Stenographic
Work Handled Free and
City and Contractor Both
Make Money on Deal

The Transit Commission had steno-
graphic and photographic work to the
value of $4,000 done for it during the
year ended June 30 without paying n
cent for it, it became known yesterday.
In fact, the General Shorthand Report
ing Company, of which Jay Mcnamara
IS manager, paid the commission money
for the privilege of working for it.
Chairman McAncny and Secretary
Walker of the commission received
compliments on Saturday from the
other commissioners over the unusual
feat, and smoked expensive cigars at
the expense of wise" ones, who pre-
dcted year ago that some one would
be "stuck.'
Taking a stenographic record of all
the more important hearings held by
the commission and making a mimco-
graphic record is a heavy task, involv-
ing the employment of high grade help.
Three or four rapid stenographers are
used in relays, and then comes the die
tation to typcwriting women and then
the mmeographing from waxed orig
NAL typewriter impression. Every
thing is done at top speed. At the end
of the hearing, ordinarily. the mimeo-
graph record Of the testimony is ready
A year ago Secretary Walker advcr-
tsed for bids for making three mimco-
graph copies and twenty printed copies
of all important hearings. There was
provision in the contract which per
mitted the contractor to sell to out
siders copies of the proceedings at 10
cents a hundred words, the contractor
to rebate the commission cents out of
the 10. This rebate on the seasons

graphic work and left balance be-
sides.
MI. Mcnamara took the risk of find
ing private customers for sufficient
number of copies to make his expenses,
and probably made some money for
himself. To start with, the Corpora
ton Counsel's Office ordered ten copies
Of all proceedings. Then there were
big concerns like the marlborough and
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit, and the
Manhattan Elevated, all of which at
transcripts of the proceedings. In ad-
dition to these local companies, lead
ing bankers and lawyers frequently
made requistion on tn. contractor for
copies at the stated price.
The more customers Mcnamara
found for his transcripts the more
money he made for himself and for
the city, which was in" on every sale,
getting its seven cents a folio.
On big days the proceedings covered
200 pages. with about three folos (of
100 words each) to the page
The contract holds the contractor
to conformity to the labor laws of
the state, and the contractor might
easily have lost a considerable sum on
his venture. He told the commissions
ers on Friday that he had made out
| all right, and that the commission
owed him nothing, inasmuch as the
rebate account exceeded everything
| charged against the commission.
81 doubt whether there is another
instance to compare with this in the
United States" said Secretary Walker
IN commenting on the years work.
Mr.. Mcnamara mas worked with
great experiences, and the commission

A relatively dull freight market dur
ing the last week prevented any change
Of consequence in the depressed rate
situation in the foreign trade. while
the dissolution Of the intercoastal con-
ference made domestic rates extremely
low and unsteady.
Trading activity in the foreign mar
ket was confined almost exclusively to
grain and West Indies time charter
business. A fair volume of transac-
tions was closed in both these depart
ments during the week, but in both
there was a falling off from the figures
OF the previous week. Seven ships are
reported to have been closed by the
West India charterers, as against up
ward of twenty the week before.
twenty-five grain fixtures are shown
by recapitulation of the weeks trans
actions. compared to twenty-nine dur
ing The previous seven days.
Prompt tonnage does not appear to
be very abundant. although there has
been no heavy demand to cause it to
De onered. July and August boats,
however, seem to be ample enough
for the present demand, and az a re-
suit the market tendency has not been
toward higher levels for the time be-
ing and there does not seem to be any
prospect for material improvement n
until the movement of the new crop.
Most of the grain tonnage from
Montreal and United States range
ports was absorbed by continental
ports at rates of from 1914 to ID cents.
The Mediterranean demand has been
ieht and number of July boats Of
tered at 10 cents have found no takers,
indicating a softening of rates in this

arc said to appear to be willing to con-
tract for some tonnage for distant
loading if they are offered ships at
sllght concessions under present rates.

In the coal market Japancse

Mallory Line Boat Refitted

A successful trial trip was made by
the rebuilt Mallory liner San Jacinto
from the Tietjen & Lang plant of the
Todd Shipyards Corporation Saturday,
The San Jacinto, which will enter the
Galveston service on July 10, has
been altered so radically that she is
regarded as being practically new
vessel: She has been converted from
o coal to an oil burner and new and
improved passenger accommodations
have been added
The San Jacinto has been rebuilt to
meet the constantly increasing de-
mands of traffic to and from Texas.
Arkansas, Oklahoma and other South
western states. 1t is expected that
she will now be one of the fastest
ships on the coastwise run.

HEAT WAVE EXPECTED.
TO GO HIGHER TODAY,
BUT END TOMORROW

Relief from the hot wave that
struck the District OF Columbia
yesterday and caused the ther-
mometer to equal the hottest April
record for Washington of s7.2
degrees. established in 1873. was
promised by the weather bureau
today. A storm now over Kansas
will, in all probability. bring rain
late tomorrow afternoon and night,
it was said, and with it cooler
weather.
Today, however, 1t will be at
least two degrees hotter than yes
terday. the bureau said, and the
heat will probably continue through
tomorrow afternoon. The temper
ature this morning was already
higher than that for the corre-
spending time yesterday.
The present hot spell Is due to
a river Of air" flowing from the
south, the Gulf of Mexico and the
Caribbean sea, the bureau explain
ed. and is prevalent throughout the
east, although not SO intense. Con-
trasted to this northward flow Of
air is one flowing south over the
Dakotas and the Rocky mountain
region. and in that section today
the temperature is freezing and
snow was falling in several places,
the bureau said.
Baltimore had temperature
eight tenths degree higher than
washington yesterday, while the
only other city that came clos, to
Washington's record was PhHa-
delphia, with 81 degrees.

PLANTATION.
This is not an investigating body
