What is behind the abandonment of the Tillinghast jury-fixing pro- ceedings? By Tillinghast’s confession the “trail of corruption” which Mr. Je- rome pledged himself to follow to the very door of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company was shown to lead to that very door. His state- ment to an Evening World reporter confirms the gravity of his charges. Why has the District-Attorney so abruptly called off the hunt? Why s this important witness not produced before the Grand Jury? Why ere not his incriminating accusations fully probed? ~ As the reward of furnishing the State with evidence Tillinghast oocu- es a prison cell.

It uses the people's money to exploit them through the Public Service Corporation. 2. Tt does a large “industrial” business—a phase of insurance which the Arm- “strong committee rather neglected, but which is little better than robbery. 3.
