not kr.ow, because we didn't read anything about it in yesterday's

have a notion, is better known than the bell?has not widened one
one-thousandth of an inch since the Bell left Philadelphia for San

we'd as soon be a measurer of bell-cracks as anything else. The

On board the warm ship Finland:

That she was builded inland
For Polar exploration.

Has put an extra roll on;
Then, raise a happy paean!?

I now understand why the pirates who infested this sea had
such nasty dispositions.

USELESS COUNTY
RULE COSTS CITY

Thirty Departments Doing
Work of Six, Bruere
Tells Convention.
SYSTEM NOW WASTES
$1,000,000 IN SALARIFS
Single District Attorney and

County government in New York
; City, persisting only by reason of pri
1 vate political interest, is an anachron
; ism and an unnecessary appendage to
| the municipality. This is the opinion
? expressed by City Chamberlain Henry
Bruere and CommiBsioner of Account?
Leonard M. Wallstein in a ?tudy of
the county government which they have
prepared for the Constitutional Con?
vention, and a copy of which they have
also submitted to Mayor Mitchel
County government was devised be?
fore the existence of large cities, their
1 report says, and ha? been the favorite
field of partisan politics and ?pecial
legislation. In fifteen years It? co?t
has increased 90 per cent, and an ef?
fective reorgan zation would save more
than $1,000,000 each year in salaries
alone.
A? proof that the county gorernment
is unnecessary, the official? point out
that the work of six departments is
duplicated in each of the live counties,
. ?o that thirty departments are now do
i ing the work of six.
The creation of Bronx County is set !
; forth as an additional burden upon tax- ;
payers, who are now compelled upon
, each $1,000 of ryoperty to pay for
county government. $11? in Richmond.
,$15 in The Bronx, $12 in Kings, $10
) in Queens and $7 in New York. This
, form of government, the report de-'
clares, has been practically unchanged |
since its adoption, in 1777.
Another striking instance of the ex?
travagance of county administration i?
seen in the average daily cost of guard- (
ing prisoners. In the Kings County
jail this is $3.21, r.nd $3.49 in Queens.
' The Department of Correction, a city
department, pays from 7 to 37 cents a
| day for guarding the inmates of Its in-,
1 stitutions.
Chamberlain Bruere and Commission?
er Wallstein think that all fee-collect
i ing offices should be made ?elf-sup
i porting. They state that none now are,
' with the exception of those whose heads
keep all their collections.
In the suggestions put forward by
the ot'ic.als for reorganization are
the uniting of the Supreme Court force?
' of each County Clerk's office into a
. "clerk of courts," appointed by the Ap?
pellate Division, and the uniting of the
| remainder of each office with the City
?Clerk's, having the Mayor name the
"city and county clerk."
The report also suggest? that the five
i Dis'rict Attorneys be replaced by a
; single man, to be elected, and that one
department do the work of the Regis?
ter's office in three counties and the
I register division of the County Clerk's
office in the other two, the Mayor to
! appoint its head.
The officials would abolish the Com?
missioners of Records, and have their
; work done by a small temporary force;
they would replace the five Commis
, aionera of Jurors by one; abolish the
public administrators, having the City
Chamberlain do thei.- work; transfer
the Sheriff's functions as peace officer
to the Police Department, his ?lutie? ?ii
Jailer to the Department of Correction,
and have hil office absorb the city mar
1 .' ; they would have its head ap?
pointed by the Mayor; would consoli-:
i date county courts with the Supreme
! Court, and reduce the Surrogates' courts
I to one.
This reorganization, the officials de
! clare, would decrease the forty county'
?departments to eight, two of which
? would be merged wi?h city offices, and
would result in simplified elections, bet-.
; ter official service and more economical
I administration.

REPORTS AMERICANS SAFE
Armenian Says None Ha3
Died There as Result of War.
Tiflis, Aug. 15. -Dr. Kochadur Bona
partian, an Armenian physicisn and
?urgeon, who has escaped to the Rus?
sian line? after serving for ten months
with the Turkish army, brings reassur?
ance? that no American missionary i? ;
known to have died in Armenia a? a
rasait of the war.
He believes that during the first three
moathl of the year there were prob- ?
ably two thousand deaths a day from ;
disease alone among the Turkish sol- ,
?tiers and civilians, and he said that
Turkish losses from all causes ?ince the
war began might be a? high as 300,000.
Aside from this, food snd ammunition
supplies were growing ?o scant that he '
t doubted that the Turks could offer ef?
fectual resistance against the Russian?.
He said they did not appear to have any
large strategic plan, but contented
themselves with delaying the present
advances and threatening the Russian
left flank north of the Lake of Van. ?

"I repeat with National Chairman
Perkins," declares Mr. Miller, "that the

jury's approval i seven of whom were ;
Republicana) on wha* Colonel Roose- j
velt has been saying for the last two
or three years about the boss system

lity be of far reaching effect in :
the next campaign.
"A few days ago a prominent Repub- ?
iican judge voluntarily remarked to
me that the people of this state would
defeat the constitution now being
framed. Republican national hopes
will raniah in *hat defeat, for these1
the Repub.icar. partv ?

waiting $300,000 or $100,000 of the

RECORD SUMKER
IN CITY CHURCHES
Pig Attendance Gains in
Spite of Absence of
Foreign Preachers.
STREET AND TENT
MEETING INCREASE
Christian Leaders Believe War
Influence Has Stirred Re?
ligious Spirit.
Counts made during July and three
Sundays in August, inclu.i.ng yester?
day, show that summer attendance in
New York's leading churches is break?
ing all records for the last few years.
Clergymen regard this condition as
mest remarkable in view of the fact
that the European war has depr.ved
pulpits of foreign preachers. For the
fust time in a generation, most New
York churches have been in charge of
American clergymen in summer. It
appears that the change has been ac?
ceptable to the church-going popula?
tion.
Ushers at Trinity Church, far down?
town, estimate that Sunday congrega?
tions have run from 600 to COO. twenty
per cent above the average. Attend?
ance at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
Church has jumped from S00 to 1,000,
r umbers in advance of any summer at?
tendance since the Rev. Dr. G. Camp
tell Morgan's special Bible expo- s
several years ago. Bishop McCormick,
of Grand Rapids, has been attracting
congregations of MM to 700 at St. Bar?
tholomew's Church, Madison Avenue
and Forty-fourth Street.
Twenty-five per cent increase in at?
tendance is reported at street and tent
meeting? held by the Evangelistic
Committee of New York and by inde?
pendent workers. Socialists have to
give way to speakers on the Bible at
Madison Square and other centres of
open air debating.
Leaders in Christian work say that
these growths in attendance are due
in part to the influence of the war on
this country. The European conflict
has set people to thinking. Another
reason is found, the leaders say, in a
natural reaction from non-church at?
tendance periods that have extended
over the last few years.
HOME RULE MEASURE
OPPOSED BY MAYORS
Notify Elihu Root That Propo?
sition Denies Local Freedom.
Middletown, N. Y., A;; IS. Ross
lyn M. Cox has notified I'r.-sulent
Elihu Root of the Constitutional Con?
vention that the New York S'a'e Con?
ference of Mayors is opposed to the
home rule proposition r? poi ted by the
Cities Committee. He says the pro?
posal will in no way remedy the ad?
mitted evils of the present system of
city government namely, ?hvision of
responsibility between the State Legis
1; ture and the municipal administra?
tion; burdening 'he Legislature with
matters of a purely local nature; d? lay
ir securing remedial legislation to moot
emergencies, and the enactment of
legislation by legislators who of ne
c? ? :-y know nothing about the con?
ditions such legislation affects.
"We submit that the proposition is
a denial rather than a grant of home
rule," writes Mayor Cox. "and that
under it the eitiea of the state would
be in an infinitely worse pre.l'cament
than they are at present."
Mayor Cox calls Mr. Roofs particu?
lar attention to the fact that while the
cities are apparently grant.-.1 p..wer
over their "local affairs" th?- power *f
the Legislature to enact .specai
pertaining to the government of cities
13 retained.
