MAY NOT SERVE EITHER
Comptroller Doubts if Ho Will
AtTPpt Coiiunittoo Plncc if
One Is Offered.
Comptroller Prendergnst. who feels
that Kings county was intentionally
slighted when Oscar Straus appointed
a iStato legislative committee of tho Pro
giessive party without including County
Chairman Timothy Ti. Woodruff, was not
apiieased last night when he learned that
Mr Woodruff and himself were likoly to
l among the additional six members
which the committee is to select .
"If I am appointed I don't know
whether I'll serve or not," paid Mr. Pren
detgast. "I haven't 'decided. In my
opinion Kings county would have been
ignored altogether if 1 had not protested.
Incidentally I fail to see why nine men
who are themselves designated by somo-
body else should w empowered to put
Kings county on the map."
Mr Prondergast has been invitod to
attend the. meeting of State Progressives
at thn Holland House to-morrow, but he
will not be there. He said last night that
his physician had ordered him to Itake
wood, whither he will go to-day.
The "nrotest" to which Mr I'rcndercast
referred was embodied in a sarcastic
statement wherein ho said.
The Progressive party, no mutter how
high Its ideals, if it is to hen political party
ill have to be conducted Hicording to
political methods And when 1 say politi.
cal methods I mean methods that are of
much higher standnrd than tlie actual

been running the affairs of the Pronre.slve
party in this state
If mv health ncimlts I am going to at-
'end the conference of ihe NHt1011.1l Pro-
giessive pariv in Chicago on December 10,
ind I shall eipiess myself in favor of run
ning the Progressive party us a nolitlcal
party There is no future for this purty
unless it is managed In this way.
The exclusion of Rings county from
the committee list, the Comptroller said.
could not havo been inadvertont. He
said:
Kins was the first county in Ihe .Stale
to organise for the Progressive party It
has the best equipped practical Progressive
reamat Inn in the State and, in my
opinion. In the whole country, lis head,
Mr Woodruff, is one of the ablest, political
organizers In the I'nlted Stales and lias
sacrillced mure politically than any other
politician who went into the Progressive
party In experience and general knowl-
dge of public questions and legislative
affairs the men who hove been named on
the committee, when compared to him, are
simply babies.
'rlils Iatei performance only gives em
phasis or substantiation to what has been
an Impression for a long time and that is
lint there Is a disposition on the pari of
the men who were placed In power In Ihe
Progressive party In this State to ignore
aud decry every.oiie who lias had any real
political experience
"The brilliant success of this policy,"
said Mr. I'rendergast in a final thrust,
-is to do lounu 111 tne vote received by
the Progressive party above the Bronx
Itlver It is time to call a halt,"
"Uo you think the omission of your
self and Mr. Woodruff is because of the
political differences at tlie State conven
tion in Syracuse?" a reporter asked Mr.
Prendercast

It is no secret that Mr. Prendergast
himself rather expecti"d to be nominated
for Governor at Syracuse. Home of his
friends have attributed his failure to the
ofTorta of State Chairman William H.
Hotchkiss, although Mr. Hotchkiss in
sists that ho rcmnined neutral in the con
test that went on behind the scenes before
Suspender Jack Ma gee stampeded the
convention to Oscar Straus, Mr. Woodruff
supported Mr. Prcndergast.
Chairman Hotchkisa said last night
that he did not care to comment on Air.
PrendergaBt's remarks. Mr. Woodruff
will return to-night from his Adirondack
camp,
"'llto meeting of the Progressive Stat
committee called here for Tuesday,"
said State Chairman William H, Hotch
kiss yesterday, "is beginning to look more
liko a convention than a committee meet
ing. All the county chairmen want to
bring their friends, and tho meeting will
im vory large.
Col, Iloosevelt and Oscar Straus have
rieon Invited, and the report that they
will bo at tho meeting has Induced many
up-Stato Progrehsives to oome to Now

Profit Sharing
FOR upwards of a quarter of a century Steinway
6c Sons have been pursuing the policy of sharing
their profits with the buying public a The
gradual increase of their output and resources, coupled
with the concentration of their plants and the em
ployment of the most modem methods of manufac
turing, have enabled Steinway & Sons to produce and
sell their pianos at a lower rate than ever. A nm
small grand piano (5 ft. 6 in.) in a mahogany case
at the extremely low figure of $750 is the splendid
result. Thus the great problem of giving the best arti
cle at the most reasonable cost has been successfully
solved. Steinway & Sons invite the careful mspection
and critical examination by the public of this their
latest great achievement in the art of pianoforte building.

WAIVES RULE TO KEEP VETERAN
Rrnrlliiit Railroad Itrsclnri 70 Year
HrKillntlnii for Chief Clerk.
Philadelphia, Nov. 17. The Reading
Railway Company has temporarily re
scinded the rule requiring employees ta
retire at the age of 70 years In order
that the company may still avail It
self of the services of Jnmet M. Lan
dls, the veteran chief clerk of that cor
porntlon. Cnder the rules Mr. Landls would
reach the ne limit on Thursday next,
but because of his remarkable health
and vigor he will be continued In the
service of the company Indefinitely. He
Is regarded as a walking encyclopedia
of railroad knowledge, nnd since he hai
been with the Rendlnt; since 1860. he
knows more about the system than anr
other. man In Its employ.
When Mr. Landls waa called Into
President Baer's office yesterday and
told that he nerd make no arrangement
to retire yet his face lit up and he
pecmed as though he was as fresh as
the young boy who entered tho eenice
of the Readlnn fifty-two years ago.
