TOBE ADOPTED Legistative Committee to Hold , Public Hearing To-Morrow @ | On Revised Estimates. ~ At & conference of membere of the Teint Legisiative Committee investi- @ating telephone rates in New York City, it was decided to reject the plant valuation of $99,000,000 submit- by the telephone company at yes- terday’s hearing and to insist upon $65,000,000 made by is, the committee's expert. Another public hearing will be held to-morrow Association rooms, No. 16 Broadway, at ® complete schedule of rates out on hfs valuation of the allowing the company to earn cent. profits on the investment. ‘The committee holds that 7 per cent. and reasonable return on In the Bemis rate schedule three im- portant reductions: for which The Evening World has contended are es- rates on & maximum basis ef 5 cents per call and scaling downward for wholesale use.

If it adopts practically the same valuation and If the Public Service Commission, however, does not make as large a cut in rates, or if the proceedings are dragged out to further delay, the com- mittee will present a bill to the Legis- lature for enactment making manda- tory the rates it has figured out. “DAN THEDUDE” PLEADS FOR “TICKET OF LEAVE,” BUT HE GETS 5 YEARS Spent 10 Years in Prison on the Instalmént Plan and Now He’s in Again.’ Louis Harris, “Dan the Dude,” who during his trial ten days ago for stealing silk from a delivery wagon confided to the jury his sorrow that hod had not followed the upright ex- ample of his boyhood playmate, Judge Resalsky, made another unavailing Plea for liberty to-day when he was arraigned before Judge Wadhams in General Sessions for sentence. The "fury had found him guilty of attempt- ed grand larceny in the second degree as asecond offender. “Thomas Jefferson,” he jsald to Judge Wadhams, “said tht every man was entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. There will mever be any more happiness for me im the world. But I do want my life ‘and liberty. I have spent ten years in prison on the instalment plan. “Im the days of old when a prisoner was discharged he received a ‘ticket of leave.’ He was made to live under the supervision of the criminal au- thoritées. In modern times it is the suspended sentence.

His classification as ‘habitually criminal will insure him, whea sentence has been served, rigorous “supervision of the criminal authorities.” Bartender Who Took Latin Werks “Wanted Something to Read.” ‘When Oscar Otto, a bartender, twen+. ty-eight years old, living at No, 321 Kast Highteenth Street, was arraigned in day, char, with In books Building, T was anxious for EP ek Re morning in the County | which Prof. Bemis wilt | EME [Wo | bibs ic agen man of Fashion 00 eT Gre uP TH DeeATga - YOU Wenn GREAT LEStows Tene] a back and looked at me with a placid little smile, “You mean that persons should avoid showy self denial, do you not?” I asked. “You don’t think, for ex- ample, that women should make a Lenten sacrifice of theatre parties?” “The theatre Is one of our groat waking-up agencies,” he replied. “How would it better any woman's spiritual condition to keep away from something that makes her think?

I was surprised to find that I had never really understood my favorite one until I saw Isadora Duncan interpret it in the dance.” “Do you think that women should fast during Lent or give up special articles of food?" I questioned. “No,” said Dr. Grant, frankly, “T gee no value except the hygienic one in fasting.” Then a little twinkle showed itself bon Fad in the gray eyes. “Most well-to-do persons in jew York seem to have a tendency to no dis- jag tvs to check this tendency should discou: |." “Now, won't you tell me of one or two sensible ways in which Lent according|may be observed by women?” 1 old urged. é “It is an admirable season em wit ” he sug- 4|new life. Immortality is actually ll to read equivalent to being worth while to such books as Walter Lippma: By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. What should New York women give up during Lent? Not candy, not butter, not ice cream sodas, not silk frocks. Nothing 80 easy. The pretty lady who believes that she qualifies for a saint's ba:o by elaborately abstaining from some trivial diversion or luxury during the forty days preceding Easter, merely deludes herself. The Lenten sacrifices which New York women should make are those which aid growth. Even ae the tangle of noxious weeds must be cleared out of the garden, and the useless, dead limbs be sacrificed by a tree if it is to attain its perfect develupment, so women should see Lent as a time in which to give up the things that choke character—malice, selfishness, uncharitableness, Those sacrifices are real and worth while. 0 Rev. Percy Stickney Grant, two years rector of one of ‘New York's most notable sanctuaries, the Church of the Ascension, on lower Fifth Avenue, who gives this sane and invij ing counsel to New York women, “Don't imagir > . »u ere performing one of the higher duties when you abstain from candy or butter or both," he told his congregation the first Sunday in Lent. “Overcome an obstacle that stands in the way of your best service to your fellow men, Solve a problem that has impeded your spiritual development if you want to make these forty days red letter ons And when I talked with Dr. Grant in front of the big logs that fill the fire- place in his living room at No. 7 West Tenth Street I found him even more earnest in his denunciation of the fad for giving up eis bas attained such MARSHALL RESIGNATION OPENS PATRONAGE FIGHT Old Issue Again Bobs uf Between Tammany and the Wilson 5 Administration. Voluntary resignation of Dr. F, L. Marehal), Collector of Internal Rey- enue, Third District, New York City, has suddenly reopened the old pat- ronage fight between Tammany and the Wilson Administration, For two years Dr. Marshall, a Re- publican, has been holding over in his desirable job because of Presi- dent Wilson’s refusal to recognize Tammany's demands for Federal pat- ronage. Similar situation exists in the Second District, where Charles W. Anderson, also a Republican still occupies the Collector's office. Dr. Marshall said to-day that no request had been made by Washing- ton authorities for his resignation but as he had made arrangements to enter a new private business he wished to retire soon, He has no knowledge who will be appointed to the office.
