of the New Tork City service
JS^Tn^improvement after the comple-
JrSTSf the iavesUgaUon by the State Comm sslon
SmpH vai teromeinarked since the re-election of
atatw McClellan. In view of our former criticism
IK Municipal Commission, we are particularly
2Ji to bear testimony to this improvement, and
§Sr-'«« ti»rn our assistance In continuing it.
•rEa Municipal Commission is called upon to cor-
Jt sSwes in the granting of transfer* and In
He appointment of laborers under special titles
S*uSor.ied by the law or rules, and attention is
SKlto the unfairness In permitting men to
2£**er as foremen simply to get employment as
Sharers ahead of applicants higher up on the lists.
ctb ahea.s of applicant* higher up on the lists,
records of efficiency, as kept in the Municipal
miwinn Itself, and as filed by most of the de
cartißer.te are pronounced farcical. The report
conclude* with a recognition of the difficulties con
fronting the Municipal Commission and apprecia
ten of taeir eflorts to correct abuses for which
tt»ir predecessors were responsible.
the results of this investigation have been much ',
core Jar reaching and important for the city ser
vice than has been popularly supposed. On Jan
tar? L Secretary Berlinger. who had been kept in
bit position by strong political influence, but of
whose shortcomings as secretary the commission
had been fully convinced, was removed, and a com
petent man appointed in his place. Under prac
tically every head dealt with in the report im
provecier.is have been mad«. These can, better be
ewlt with when we come to treat of the city eer
vise as a whole.
Is years past the newspapers have reported the
ecUtciion of a fixed percentage on salaries from
employe* In the state service In Albany for the
coffers c' the dominant party. Our Investigations
Isafi us to beliefs that these reports have undoubt
edly been tru». The employes of some depart
ment* hare been exempt from thl» annual tax. but
tlwy have been the exceptions. The assessments
have varied from l»i per cent for municipal cam
piirns to 3 per cent for state campaigns. Despite
the boldness with which this practice was carried
en, and the indignation of the employes concerning
it until recently none have been willing to come
forward snd give evidence, on account of the gen
era: and well founded belief In the power of the
political leaders to punish them for so doing.
The mist prominent officeholder connected with
this MarlnMß has been Harry H. Bender, the pres
est fisraJ supervisor of State Charities. For years
it held the office of treasurer of the Albany City
sad County Republican committees, which he has
«n]r recently resigned, and secured an unenviable
HjWtaflan for hip access in collecting campaign
funds He formerly held the office of State Super
ir.tKi(ser.t of Buildings, and during his incumbency
the employes of the Capitol building were regular
ly assessed. Governor Odell transferred him to hie
present <sfflee in June, 1902. Assessments were col
lected from the employes in his new office in the
Jali of 1902 and 1904.
Tie conduct of this case for the association has
teen in the hands of Nelson 6. Spencer, of the
executive committee, who has appeared at. bearings
Mere the commission and has taken a. large share
ft t!i» argument before the Appellate Division and
to» Court ot Appeals. The committee believes the
sitter could not have been In better hands. For
tt.s f<?rvic<=, gratuitously given and involving a
ei=siderable sacriflca of time. Mr. Spencer deserves
ft* thanks of the association. -
There have been no changes In the personnel of
■c Stste Commission during the year, and the
eonnralitee is glad to report the continuance of
those cordial relations which have made it pos
sible fcr the commission and the association to
work in harmony for the betterment of the service
throughout the state. The service lias unques
tionably been strengthened, and careful attention
Is being given to the all Important matter of mak-
Jag the examinations thoroughly practical tests.
■lie greatest drawback to successful administra
tion is still the very large number of exempt posi
tions, a matter which we hop« the present com
mission will see Its way clear to take up and cor
rect.
The most Important matters which have arisen
Jn the state service during the year, the classifica
tion of the four additional counties of Albany
Ifccroe, Onondaga and Westchester, completing
the . . .■ siflcation of all the larger counties of the
State. the restoration of a number of county posi
tions to the competitive class, the continua'nee of
the policy of investigating the administration of
the law in cities, the Investigation of the New York
City service, and the investigation of the violation
<>r ihe political assessment provisions ot the law
in Albany have already been referred to.
Tn the matter of elation at Albany In the last
session the report says:

jxiti are a hindrance to good administration, and
Turther ex:ecsion would be a serious blunder It
to. therefore, gratifying to be able to report that
s»r>e or these measures passed the Legislature.
As to nvtk Sen-Ice in this city, the report declares
ttat the request of Mayor McClellan that he be
MBsalted by the heads of departments in regard
to the choice of deputies, "has been given a sinis
ter atgxJficanca by some of the appointments which
he it- credited with dictating." It says th it some
•f the tppoir.tm.ents and removals "have been dic
tate by political consideration, regardless of con
sti-utio-a! requirements." The report cites the ap-

Mr. Cleveland' Speaks on the Need
of Personal Service.
Phllaaelphla. Hay ».lWlth ci -President Grov-r
Cleveland as the presiding; officer, tha opening
meeting of the thirty-third national conference ol
charities and correction was held to-night In the
Academy of Music. The large auditorium was filled
with representatives of organisations engaged in
charitable and correctional work la this country,
Canada and Europe, and the ex-President was en
thusiastically welcomed when he appeared on the
platform. Mrs. Cleveland occupied a. box. Mr.
Cleveland, who made the first address of the meet
ing, spoke, in part, as follows:
This national conference of charities and correc
tion, in view of the object it seeks to accomplish,
may well be described as a general clearing house
of charitable and benevolent work. Through its
constituent agencies it touches the individual, and
through the betterment of the individual it serves
the nation.
As often as the poor and needy are wisely and
properly fed and clothed, not only is human want
and misery relieved and God's law of charity
obeyed, but the grateful sentiment and the renewed
interest in life aroused among the beneficiaries,
together with the stimulation of sympathetic feel-
Ing among the benefactors, brings them all within
a closer brotherhood of good citizenship.
As often as the sordldness of employers or the
reckless selfishness and Indifference of parents are
routed in the battle against the wicked abuses of
child labor, not only are careless mirth and cheer
ful health, the gifts of God. stolen from childhood,
restored to the children of our land, but the nation
regains the assurance that the embryo citizens thus
redeemed will in due time be found among its
sturdy, wholesome and contented supporters.
As often as sad faced and forlorn orphans are
gladdened by tenderness and wisely fostered and
cared for. not only is the Father of the fatherless
well pleased, but our country gains by so much as
the promise of future thrift and usefulness is better
than the degradation and vice threatened by the
neglect of evilly surrounded orphans.
As often as the dependent insane and mentally
defective are humanely and kindly restrained, not
only is the requirement placed upon those who have
the least claim to charitable disposition fulfilled,
and these unfortunates saved from the hopelessness
of incurability, but society Is protected against irre
sponsible tragedy, and the country is given the
only chance It can have for the Improvement and
restoration of submerged reason to sanity and
mental strength. /
As often as those who for transgression of the
law have become convicted criminals are made to
«*', that they have not been inexorably condemned
to lifelong ostracism and resentment, and that a
kindly hand awaits any effort of theirs for self
reformation, not only will those who benevolently
aid and encourage them be rewarded by an ap
proving conscience, but they will save to the state
many who can serve it well and will protect It
from those who. once disgraced, are easily driven
py .intolerance and angry neglect to a continuance
in evildolng.
My thoughts dwell upon the duty of Individual
h . arl i y V In Jt "I* 18 * * n * hat »• done in discharge of
this duty, whether done by Individuals or through
governmental agencies, representing us all. may be
said to rest In personal responsibility and may be
traced to one source-a recognition of the fact that
in th field of charity we are our brothers' keepers.
The field is so large and the labor so delicate that
none of us can secure acquittance without personal
service. It is this element of personal service
represented In this national conference that give,
the occasion its greatest Importance and slgnin
cance.
I have sometimes wondered if those active in
charitable work fully appreciate how extensively
■under the guise of charity schemes are put on
foot that are either so illegitimately related to
* T or so unimportant and impracticable as to abun
daSuly excuse a denial of their appeal for aid
and I often fear it is not realized as it should be"
in charitable circles that these schemes are pre
sented so constantly and with such Importunity and
po often prove to be unworthy, disappointing or
faddish as to perplex and discourage those willlne
to give to sensible and properly organized charity
It is thus that quite frequently all charitable move
ments are discredited or prejudiced.
I hope I will not be misunderstood when I say
that better assurance to those willing to give to
charity, and consequently the interests of the cause
seem to be involved in the establishment Eome^
where and under some responsible auspices of an
agency for the sifting and testing of enterprises
claiming to be charitable— the end that the
benevolent may have reliable guidance in determin
ing how and where they can wisely and usefully
give.

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. THCRSDAY. MAY 10. l!>06
BTDDIHST PEER WEDS.
Lord Mexborough Marnes Mrs.
Claud Clerk.
Lord Mexborough. who has Just 'ttut*^ his rela
tives and friends by unexpectedly marrying, at
Florence, the Italian born widow of Captain Claud
dark (a distinguished Anglo-Indian officer who had
charge of the education and training of the Ntsatn
>f Hyderabad for ten years), is the only member of
»he British House of Lords who baa made a public
Profession ot Buddhism. In spite of this the wed
olns; ceremony was performed by a Jesuit priest,
the Rer. Father Joseph Strickland, the new Lady
Mexborough. like her predecessor, betas; a devout
catholic. Lord Mexborough' s first wife was a Miss
v«etia Stanley Errlngton. sister of the late Lady
cromer, and the last surrivor of the senior line of
that hlstorto house of Stsnley of which the Earl of
Derby ts a cadet. Lord Mexborough has no chil
dren living, and the heir to his earldom is his half
brother, the Hon. John Savile.
The name of Mexborough is familiar to most
American admirers of Kinglake as the most inti
mate friend and travelling companion of that au
thor, and he figures in his popular book. "Bothen."
under the transparent pseudonyme of "Methley."
the latter being the name of the principal country
seat of the Earls of Mexborough. near Leeds. Built
in ISSO by Sir John Savile. who was a baron of the
Court of Exchequer under the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, and the founder of the Mexborough
branch of the Ba\-lles. it has been in the posses
sion of the family ever since. One of the features
of * h « stately mansion is a great gallery adorned
with the emblazoned armorial bearings of the prin
cipal families of the county of Yorkshire. It like
wise contains a number of superb pictures by Bir
Thomas Lawrence. Sir Feter Lely. Sir Joshua Reyn
olds. Van Dyck. Rubens and Titian.
(Mention should be made, too, of the queer old
"powder rooms." These were a species of cupboard,
a little larger than telephone booths. Into which
men and women retired In order to be subjected to
the powdering process. Very few houses have re
tained them. Indeed, they are so scarce nowadays
that even where they do exist their former use
has been forgotten.
Of course it is by no means impossible that the
marriage of Lord Mexborough. who Is sixty-four
years of age, may result in the birth of an heir to
the family honors and estates. But. failing this,
the succession of his half-brother to the title will
constitute an addition to the number of peers in
the House of Lords who have Jewish blood in their
veins, for John Savile's mother, the second wife of
the late Lord Mexborough. although she was a de
vout Catholic and claimed to be of Persian de
scent, was undoubtedly a Jewess, her father. John
Raphael, haying; been one of the most respected
members of the London Synagogue.
Lord Mexborough is a man of wide learning and
culture, and, like his father, has travelled all over
the world. But. with all that, he allowed himself
to be swindled not long ago out of very large sums
of money by an ex-contict who styled himself
"Captain" Cruikshank. among the other victims
being the three daughters of the late Leonard
Jerome, of New York, namely, Mrs. George Corn
wallis West (formerly Lady Randolph Churchill),
Mrs. Moreton Frewen and Mrs. Jack Leslie. Then,
Instead of concealing his gullibility, he proclaimed
it through the press to the entire world by ap
pearing as a prosecutor against the swindler, and
excited a good deal of irritation at the time in Eng
lish society by insisting that another of his fellow
victims, brother of a popular peer and former Cab
inet Minister, was a confederate of Cruikshank,
instead of ar. Innocent tool, who had been almost
ruined by him. One of Lord Mexborough' s sisters
is married to Walter Harris, who for years has
represented the London "Times" in Morocco, and
who has lately been playing an Important role in
connection with the Moorish conference at Alge
clras.
The other sister. Lady Anne Savile. is the widow
of that German prince. Louts of Loevensteln-
Werthelm, who, after becoming Involved in a
rather ugly scandal in London, and also after hav
ing been sued by disreputable marriage brokers for
declining to pay them the money they had advanced
to finance him while he was seeking the hand of
Lady Anne, suddenly vanished from Europe, to be
found killed by American bullets, a year later, at
the other end of the world, that is to say. In the
Philippines, garbed In the distinctive dress of a
Filipino rebel. Death, even in that form, was per
haps the best way out of his difficulties, both for
himself and for his family, for he would never
have returned to Europe, or even have come to
America.
CANNIZARO HOUSE. AT WIMBLEDON.
The new Lady Mexborough will find much to re
call her native land of Italy in the beautiful sub
urban place of the earl, near London. Canntxaro
House, on the borders of Wimbledon Common, is
one of the best known of those picturesque sub
urban residences which, during the London season,
are the scene of so many outdoor entertainments.
It was there that Lady Archibald Campbell's pas
toral plays, "Le Baiser." by De Banvllle, and "Fair
Rosamund," were performed in the open air in the
presence of the King and Queen, the place being
owned at the time by the late Mrs. Leo Schuster, a
popular London hostess. It owes its odd name to
the fact that it was owned and occupied for many
years In the eighteenth century by the Neapolitan
Due de Cannizaro. who had purchased it from
Dundas, the colleague of Pitt. The duke married
Miss Johnson, heiress of a Lancashire cotton spin
ner, and after living In great splendor at Cannl
raro House with her they quarrelled and he de
serted her, returning to Italy. The duchess fol
lowed him there, found that he had become infat
uated with an Italian princess at Florence, and
after a vain endeavor to induce him to return to
her. seeking at the opera to outshine her rival, she
gave up the contest, returned to London and con
soled herself with an Italian tenor. Society, how
ever, was indulgent. Her wealth, her hospitality,
and, above all. the magnificence of her concerts,
caused the great world to close its eyes to her
affaire de casur. She never saw her husband again
and died a couple of years before him, in 1840.
WAS KING EDWARDS MENTOR.
A marriage which Is exciting much attention is
that of the septuagenarian Earl of Mount Edg
cumbe to Caroline, Countess of Rarensworth. widow
of the last earl. Lord Mount Edgcumbe, in spite
of his seventy-four years, is wonderfully well pre
served, and in his youth was specially selected by
the late Prince Consort, by reason of his perfect
breeding, lofty principles ana extensive culture, to
be the principal companion of King Edward when
the latter was pursuing his studies at the White
IjOdge. in Richmond Park, and elsewhere. In fact.
Lord Mount Edgcumbe was the closest friend of
King Edward's youth, aud he undoubtedly exercised
an important Influence In shaping the character of
his sovereign. With Queen Victoria he was natu
rally a great favorite, and served her in turn as
aide-de-camp, as Lord Chamberlain and as Lord
High Steward.
Every American who has touched at Plymouth
on his way to Southampton, to Cherbourg or to one
of the German ports a- HI recall Mount Edgcumbe.
which constitutes a peninsula Jutting out into
Plymouth Sound, commanding, on the north side, a
magnificent v*ew of Plymouth. Davenport. Drake's
Island and the wall of woods and hills beyond.
while, on the other side, it looks out over steep
cliffs to the sea. Perched on these cliffs is the man
sion, a huge castellated affair, dating; from the
time of Queen Mary, full of art treasures and of
souvenirs of royal visits in modern and in ancient
times, while the chief glory of tho place is its
gardens, three in number, known as the English,
French and Italian gardens. The English rejoices
tn noble trees, ths Italian In fine terraces and the
French In magnificent fountains.
Still more interesting Is Lord Mount Edgcumbe's
place in Cornwall, known as Cotehele House, a per
fect type of Elizabethan mansion, which has re
mained in almost exactly the same state as in the
flays of the Virgin Queen. The rooms are hun«
with superb old tapestries, at a foot or more from
the walls, highly suggestive of the ease with which
a any or sn assassin could "hide behind the arras."
Both Mount Edgcumbe and Cotehele House have
been in the possession of the Edgcumbe family
stnes ths reign of Edward I. and even in those days
the Edgcumbes were known aa one of the most
ancient families of the County of Devon. Sir Rich
ard Edgcumbe was knighted by King Henrj VII
at the battle of Bos worth, which brought about the
downfall and death of King Richard HZ. Sir Rien
ard waa the chief of Henry'a household. But tt was
Queen Anne who first conferred a peerage upon the
Edgcumbe family, In the person of Richard Edg
cumbe. who waa chancellor of her duchy of Lan
caster.
The late Lady Mount Bdgoambe bjbjb a sjsjss ox
Lady Lansdowne. of the Duke of Abercorn and ef
the Duchess of Buccleuch. The new Lady Mount
Edgcumbe Is a granddaughter of the second Karl
of Mount Edgcumbe and a cousin, therefore, of
her present husband. Bbc must not be confounded
with Emms, Countess of Ravens-worth, widow Of
the second earl, who created so great a sensation
a year or so ago by marrying her coachman, a
nan by the name of James William Wadswortb.
The earldom of Ravensworth. by-the-bye. is now
extinct, but ths barony la held to-day by the
last earl's cousin, formerly known as Arthur
Thomas LJddell.
MARQUIBS DE FONTENOY.
UNION LOSES ITS CASE.
Justice Dismisses Suit to Recover
Money Lost at Track.
Justice Amend yesterday afternoon dismissed
the suit brought against the Westchester Racing
Association by the Hcusesmtths and Bridgemen'S
Union, Local No. &2, to recover $1,685 of its money
which its former treasurer, F. P. Rasmussen, ad
mitted on the stand he had lost at Morris Park hi
the summer of 1904. The justice said there was
not the slightest evidence to Justify the Jury in
finding that the Westchester Racing; Association
as suoh had received any part of any money
wagered and lost, either directly or indirectly.
The dismissal of the suit caused great rejoicing;
among the sporting element of the city and was
considered an important precedent.
When the case was resumed Sol Liechtenstein,
the bookmaker, was put on the stand. He gave aa
account of the "bookie." his relations to the race
course and the bettors.
When the tesUmony was all taken Mr. Niooll. for
the racing association, said that there bad been no
evidence to show that the association had made
any beta and moved for dismissal. Mr. Perdue, for
the union, asserted that the connection of the as
sociation with the betting ring had been established.
Justice Amend, in dismissing the case, said:
Under the revised statutes you have failed -en
tirely to show that the defendant is a winner of
the wagers made or the person to whom the money
won was paid. You have not shown that he was
the holder of the wager, and nothing has been
brought out to show that the defendant was inter
ested in the betting, directly or indirectly. There is
nothing for me to do but grant the motion to dis
miss.
In recording his exception to the decision Mr.
Perdue said: "It seems to me that we have shown
clearly that the racing association is a co-conspira
tor with the bookmakers In conducting a gambling
place."
"That may be a good argument to present to the
Legislature." said Justice Amend, "but It isn't the
tow."
The union may appeal the case.

TELLS OF ASH RIDS.
Man in Corporation CounseVs Office
Had Dump*, Say* Witness.
H. Milton Kennedy, the author of the American
Railway Traffic Company's plan for the removal ot
ashes In Brooklyn, testified yesterday before the
aldorroanlc committee investigating the Street
Cleaning Department. He conceived the plan In
18P7. providing for the removal of ashes by flat
open trolley cars from centrally situated stations
at night, he said. He consulted the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit. Governor Flower and Anthony T. Brady.
all of whom he said, approved the plan. Mr. Ken
nedy said he was introduced to Perclval E. Kagle,
ex-Street Cleaning Commissioner, by Senator Mc-
Carren.
The first bid for the contract of removing ashes
In Brooklyn was put In in July. IMS. Mr. Kennedy
said his bid waa 35 cents a cubic yard. Meagher. a
contractor, bid S cents a cubic yard. Both of these
bids were thrown out. and bids were readvertised
for about two months later.
Learning that his plan was looked upon favorably
by the Street Cleaning Department. Mr. Kennedy
made the same bid the second time, and obtained
the contract. It was brought out that Anthony N.
Brady financed the plan. He furnished $18.216 "«
for the bid. and obtained control of the contract.
A stock company was formed with a capital of SSQS..
000. of whicU Mr. Kennedy had a 10 per cent share,
and was appointed general manager of the com
pany, with a salary of |7.|M a pas*.
A different style of cars than those planned at
that time were :ised now, Mr. Kennedy said. His
10 per cent share of the stock was cut to 3 per cent
and his salary reduced to £.000. the witness testi
fied.
At this point William M. Ivlns. counsel for the
committee, read into the record a letter written by
Mr. Kennedy to Mr- Brady In which he said that
he would resign, unless his salary was increased to
97.500 and his share in the stock raised to 15 per
cent. Mr. Brady would not agree to this, but Mr.
Kennedy did not resign. It was brought out that
the company paid the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company 17 cents a car mile. The examination
continued:
The witness said he knew Luke D. Stapleton. who
controlled twenty-four dumps, for which he paid
$30,000. He said he knew Stapleton was In the
Corporation Counsels office.
Mr. Ivlns then read a statement made by Staple
ton on the Kennedy contract before the Board ot
Estimate, tn which Stapleton highly praised the
contract. Kennedy testified that he had a written
contract with Stapleton. and that he gave him notes
for $5,000 each, spread over a period of fourteen
months from October. 1902.
The witness knew both Joseph Marrone and Mary
Brown. He said that he waa to pay Marrone $30,000
a year for picking for five years. Kennedy said
that five months' time wss granted him on his
contract by Commissioner Woodbury and the
Board of Estimate. Asked If Major Woodbury
knew that Mr. Brady waa not furnishing the money
for the contract, as he had agreed, the witness
said he did, and that Mr. Woodbury considered Mr.
Brady to be acting unfairly toward Mr. Kennedy.
Mr. Ivlns read a letter dated May 29. 1908, frn m
Martin J. Littleton to Kennedy. In which he said:
I inclose the Brady letter, which explains Itself.
I wrote him that tne $95,000 was added to meet
political obligations which we had not supposed
we would be obliged to pay until be put them
on us.
"Do you know whether Mr. Brady paid the $25,000
to Senator McCarren?" asked Mr. Kins.
"I do not." replied Mr. Kennedy.
"Did you pay it?" asked counsel.
"I did not." replied the witness.
Kennedy said McCarren never asked htm. for
money personally, but wanted $£.000 through
Brady, replied the witness.
Adjournment was then taken until this morning.
When ex-Borough President Littleton was seen
yesterday afternoon with reference to the letter
offered in evidence at the investigation, he said:
I haven't seen the letter, and my recollection of
its contents Is not exactly clear. In a general
way I recollect that Mr. Kennedy came to me and
said that he had a deal on with Mr. Brady, and he
said that he was afraid from the way things were
going that Mr. Brady waa going to take advantage
of him. He wanted me to represent him and to go
and see Brady. This I consented to do. as Mr.
Kennedy's counsel. I saw Mr. Brady several times.
It was while negotiations were in progress that Mr.
Kennedy said to me that Brady had demanded
$25,000 from him to repay certain political obliga
tions. Kennedy said that he had not much money,
and could not stand any such thing. I advised him
to pay nothing, and to have absolutely nothing to
do with any deal ot the sort. If Mr. Kennedy was
prevented from paying over money on account of
political obligations I have a right to assume that
it was because I advised him.
Mr. Littleton has been subpoenaed as a witness
in the investigation. ( While Mr. Brady has not
been subpoenaed, it is understood that he will give
bis version of the contract negotiations.
CLERGYMAN ASKS DATA.
Wants Precise Information About
American Tract Society Finances.
The wave of financial investigation has struck the
American Tract Society. At its annual meeting
yesterday, in the lecture room of Madison Square
Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Dr. Henry A. Stira
son, of the Manhattan Congregational Church, who
was a business man before he became a minister,
demanded more Information about the financial
condition than that submitted to the meeting. He
was at once referred to a printed report, but, after
scanning this, declared he was not satisfied. He
demanded "figures." "precise figures," of the cost
of the publishing business conducted by the society
and the income from it. also "the precise Income
from the Nassau street building." and a full report
of all the methods of doing business.
The Rev. Dr. George L. Shearer, the secretary,
replied that the auditors had not completed their
work and he could not at that minute giv« the par
ticulars Dr. Stimson asked. The yearly report,
supposed to cover everything, was In the "printed"
summary of the year distributed at the meeting,
and members wondered why the auditors furnished
this financial report if their work was not supposed
to be complete.
Dr. Shenrer said the society was not in the busi
ness for the money that was in it. but "to further
th* Kingdom of GoJ.'" Dr. Stimson got up again
and declared that hereafter reports should embody
every Item of income and expense.
