Mayor said that he would be out of the city Friday and Saturday, when I asked him to call a special meeting, but that he was willing to call a special meet- ing on Monday. I confidently expect that the report will be ready NEXT WEEK. “You may state that I can be de- | pended upon to work for those reforms I have recently been quoted as favor- ing in The Evening World," said J. Sergeant Cram, the new Public Service Commissioner to-day to an Ejvening World reporter, who saw town residence, No. 3 East Thirty- elghth street. Mr. Cram came into the city from his country home at West- bury, L. I. His reforms include municipal opera- tion as well as municipal ownership of subways and a five-cent fare to Coney Island. “Shortly after his arrival at his rest- dence Mr, Cram found that he had numerous “friends,” who had developed since his confirmation by the State Sen- ate last night. In fact, the ring at his doorbell became so constant and the telephone calls so many by noon that he decided to flee to the Oakland golf links at Bayside, L.

Gary, executive head of the United States Steel Corporation, again a witness before the House Steel Trust Investigating Committee, to-day declared that President Roosevelt's action in acquiescing in the deal by which the Steel Corpora. tion bought out the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company “was a piece of teal constructive statesmanship.” Mr. Gary, cross-examined by Representative Littleton of New York, elaborated his views as to Government supervision of corporations and pleaded for greater co-operation between Government officials and the directing forces of big business combinations. Mr. Gary insisted that the Government was just as likely fo go too far in one direction as the core porations in another, .
