'I le most interesting feature of the

afternoon was the grilling of Electri
cian Turner. Turner was reluct* it
to answer many questions, frequent
ly replying with sharp evasions.
He presented a large number of re

disbursements.
"These receipts don’t seem to cor
respond with the date* on which you
received the payments from the Elok-

"Can you tell me a single man or
corporation to whom you paid this
money?" insisted Chambers
“The receipts show It.” said Turner.

from Turner.
"Mr. Chairman, interposed Attor

Chambers. "1 think the attorney

NEW YoRK Dec. 12.—Maintenance

advocated to-day by John Hays Ham

before the New York Civic Federa

the subject, "Should the Sherman

"To remedy the potential evils of

“One of the most serious evils re

the enhanced cost of their products
to the consumer, since the cost of

The only important change in the
new traffic law that will be recom
mended to Council Monday will be of
interest to the women shoppers who
drive their own automobiles. No
machine will b£ allowed to be parked
in the shopping district for more than
30 minutes at a time, but the section
of the bill as drafted by the joint
committee of the Council and the
Chamber of Commerce prohibiting
the parking of machines on Peach
tree and Whitehall and several tribu
tary streets unless in charge of a
chauffeur has been stricken. This
provision was considered to be espe
cially discriminatory against women
w ho drive electrics.
Beaumont Davison, representing
the Whitehall street department
stores, insisted that this change be
made, and that the parking limit time
be made 60 minutes. He said that no
woman could shop in 30 minutes.
The zone in which parking is to be
restricted was changed. On Peach
tree and Whitehall streets it is to be
from Forrest avenue to Mitchell
street. The eastern limit is Pryor
street and the western Forsyth street.
This provision reduces considerably
the limit prescribed in the original
ordinance.
No street car will be allowed to
