BACK TO FACE THE MUSIC, “Judge” Andrew Hamilton re- turns from Paris with his health, which the sessions of the Armstrong Committee impaired, largely re- stored. His jaunty step as he came off the Deutschland was a con- vineine testimonial to the efficacy of absent treatment taken in time. Hamilton, to quote his words, is to face the music.” What of tune will the band play? ssimo pas s under Mr. Je- in conductors is revealed in the delay of igating committee had laid down his baton. Whether Ham 1s is to be another scene in the farce of which the publi weary or the prologue to an exposure of widely ramifying legislative corruption must depend on the vigor with which the probe is applied. In the $1,347,000 paid him by the New York Life and irregularly accounted for w secrets which di alarm.” WW side-track? What part of it found its way tors? What rew barns did it build? After a long wait there is an excellent opportunity to find 0} MILLIONS ENOUGH FOR WATER. Th st scheme for improving the water supply to which Mayes McClellan is committed calls for a probable outlay of $250,000,000. Only under exceptional conditions of economy and with the cost of the Catskill system estimated at a minimum of $161,000,C00 can the cost be kept within $200,000,000, By an interesting coincidence $250,000,000 would build six $40,- 000,000 subways and leave $10,000,000 over for equipment. It would Provide enough routes north and south and crosstown to relieve transit congestion for years. True, water bonds are not subject to debt-limit restrictions. But five years’ interest on the quarter of a billion to be ex- fended would pay for one subway outright. Where the heart is in the highlands of the Catskill watershed it is not so intimately concerned with underground things. But the contem- rlated expenditure in water schemes, which may well wait on the econom- use of the present supply, gives point to the old saw about the wil! nd the way. There is money enough for subways. Perhaps the defeat) of the Elsherg bill will dissipate alarmist fears on that ground, TILLINGHAST’S REAL OFFENSE. Assistant District-Attorney Nott, the assistant who by Mr. Jerome’s cirection prosecuted Tillinghast, admits that Tillinghast voluntarily con- ressed and “that he was promised immunity from prosecution for his al- loged previous offenses.” He adds that after Tillinghast had confessed ke “committed the crime for which he is now serving a sentence.” This peerile. Besides, the crime for which nominally Tillinghast was con- s committed long before his confession. tor is supre! flense not punishable by the Penal Code.
