0, D. Add Viup Rtarlr tn lc Ex-Congressman Says It Would Be af) Efficacious Instrument for ths Public Welfare. 'The power of recall Is the most efficacious Instrument for the public welfare which can be placed in the hands of the people," said former Congressman Robert Baker, last night, addressing the Farrar League at the club house. Seventh avenue and Carroll street. His subject was "The Failure of Representative Government." "Under the power of recall it Is Imposlble to conceive of corrupt government," he continued.

"I has worked successfully in California, ahd, Is practical. The power of recall together1 with direct nominations will be a great step In advanco for the people to get represents tlves who will be tbe people's servants. Tha recall power would not be abused, tor. In case the reasons for the demand were not substantiated, the representatives would be strengthened, rather than weakened." The ex-Congressman sepoke of municipal ownership as a step In advance and attacked the President for arrogating to himself th right to control the legislative functions ol government. "The real governing powers, he said, "are not the legislators, but th men controlling the great service corpora tlons.

Frequently these men, who ere th4 real kings, do not even reside within the communities which they misgovern, like Ryan, the most powerful figure In Greatel New York, who is a Virginian. They con trol public utilities, accumulate large fori tunes and contribute a small amount to thi political parties.

1 Ss-ii ui a postal and we will send expert with samples of Leg Cut 09, and Likely to Die. In sight of hundreds of persons, both men and women, Arthur Duffy, of 1438 Broadway, Brooklyn, conduotor on the Court street line, was caught between two cars In a collision that occurred early yesterday afternoon, on the south roadway, about 100 feet from the Manhattan end of the bridge, and bad his left leg nearly severed above the knee, his chest crushed, and received a scalp wound and Internal injuries. The accident caused many women passengers In both oars to faint, created a great deal of excitement, and drew an enormous crowd of people to the spot. The acotdent occurred while Duffy was In the rear of his car, adjusting the trolley pole. While hia car was at a standstill, he waa run down by a Bergen street car in charge of Motorman David Stegal, of 391 Sutter avenue.

Sicgal fell in a dead faint on tho platform of the car when ho saw that he had run down Duffy. He was pow erless to even reverse the power and re lease Duffy, whose screamB could be heard for blocks. Patrolman Schllp, of the Bridge Squad, was the first to come to the aid of Duffy. He heard the cries of tha Injured man, and those of the alarmed passengers and pedes trlans. Schllp Jumped on to the platform of the Bergen street car and reversed the power, so as to free Duffy, who as the car backed away tell to tbe roadway, still Bcreamlng.

His left leg was hanging by a shred. Roundsman Tlghe and a squad of bridge policemen were hurried to the Bcene and drove back the enormous crowd that had collectod. Duffy and Slegal were carried to the Bridge Emergency HoBpltal on two stretchers, and later removed to the Hud son Btreet Hospital by Dr. Bryant, who responded to a hurry call. At the hospital Slegal regained consciousness and was made a prisoner by Detectives JepBon and English, of the Bridge Squad, and locked up at the Oak street station.

It was said at tho Hudson Street Hcapl tal that Duffy waa in a very serious condl tlon, and might not recover. His leg was amputated at ths hospital, and It was said that he was also suffering from serious In ternal lnJurlSB. Slegal claimed that he saw Duffy when he was five feet away, and that be applied bis brakes, which did not work, and later shut off the power. The police do not believe his story, and said that owing to the upgrade at the point the accident occurred, It would have been easy to stop the car short. Traffic was delayed about ten minutes by the accident.

Owing to a large number of people being on their way to ths St. Patrick's Day parade, tho cars and promenade were crowded at tho time. Many women fainted and became hysterical, UNITED SONS OF ERIN DINE. Tenth Annual Celebration of Organization Enjoyed by Big Crowd at Bath Beach.

Too Self-Coniplacent Private Secretary. The story told In the Eagle yesterday to the effett that William Howell, the model secretary of William MoAdoo, when the latter was Commissioner of Police, still owed th eity $1,466.09, came as a shook to those who had been in the habit of believing that Howell was Just the best and most faith ful, and the best behaved of the long list of private secretaries to the police com missioners. It ta true that Howell resigned suddenly from the department when there were curious tales afloat, but there was no one to say, out and out, that Howell was a grafter. They simply told Stories about his alleged connection with certain places that were under police surveillance, and that was all there was about It. And grace of a resignation, and of Mr.

McAdoo's acceptance of it. Howell was tor a while the entire outfit, It seemed, in the Commissioner's office In Mulberry street. He was the commissioner's Bhadow, and for a time Mr. McAdoo did not move a step without his faithful side part ner and other Belt. If Mr.

MeAdoo went on a tour of Inspection, Howell sat hunched up beside him in the big automobile. Howell seemed to be the most faithful of the faith ful, and It got about, after a while, that tne secretary wag the man to see if there was anything needed, and If Mr. McAdoo was to be placated In the Interest of any person who might want to Infringe on technical law at the thin edge. Where the Irregularity was purely venial there was an understanding that Howell was the man who was best able to take Mr. McAdoo by the arm In his good-humored moments, ana tell him that so-and-so was all rlKht' and that he would never do anything to oring tne blush of shame to the commissioner's cheek.

Mr. Howell seemed at all times to have the best Interests of the big doss or tne police service at beart. Just how this new story against him wil oome out remains to bs seen. It Is that he did not furnish the vouchers for money spent, and that he owes the city nearly ii.ouu as a department charge that ha not been accounted for. Police commissioners have heen narrle.ti- larly unlucky In thoir private secretaries.

Jut where the men who get these Jobs come from la not known. They oome, generally, to the commissioner well recommended, at a time wnen ne Knows absolutely nothing of the Job he Is taking, when h8 has not found out that every man who will sing sweet songs into his ear la a e-raftnr nrt a solf-seeker; when he does not know that tne lives or some men in the Police Department and about the Police Department are spent In circumventing and "gold-brlck-Ing" the commissioner. It Is a wise commissioner whn on hs guard against the polite bunco man, uunco Mames tnat ore played anywhere are played In Mulberry street, by rogues whose pictures are not in the gallery, but who could give Hungry Joe and Grand Central Pete cards end spades, and little and big casino, and beat the game at that. The dear, good Innocents who come to Mulberry street to reform things every year or so do not realize that they are "up against" the slickest bunch of sharpers that ever turned a eard. They wander In and get down to business at the big desk with the most delightful notions of their own Importance, and verily believe, and you could not tell them otherwise, that the fores has Just been waiting for them to clean things up.

Then the farce begins. The new commissioner looks about hlra for some person In the department to trust, and ho picks up some trtrnty and confides In him. Oh! bo thoroughly! If he doeg not pick the confidant his secrotary does, and In any event the selection la nretiv tho result of Innocence and absolutely chlld- num. uu tne buck connilnnt has a dozen axes to grind nnd he gets tho commissioner, invariably, to bend his back to the grindstone, and In les9 time than It takes to toll It the administration Is mixed up with the rascalities of the Police Department and the public and the appointing power In howling for th rnir. commissioner.

The secretary In usually the man who profits, In a secondhand way, by the Inexperience and amazing trust of the commissioner. Tho secretary la niniii. good enough mentally or otherwise to gather mo jjiuiiib nut ne is contented with his share. Howell Is not the only man who has been allowed to resign. Commissioner Greene's seoretnry went out under the cloud of a broken Jawbone or something of that kind and Deputy Commissioner Ebsteln and Deputy Commissioner Farreil, In Brooklyn, were also forced to get rid of their private secretorles.

Everybody agrees that Deputy Commissioner Henry Hngsorty had a good one In Daniel Kelly, but Kelly waa an old horse In public service. It is the glamour of reflected power thnt turns the heads of the young fellows and some of the secretaries get to believe after a while that they are Just as Important as the 'old man" himself. Then their troubles begin, for they tell their friends about the Importance of their Jobs snd all sorts of wires are set in motion by all sorts of wirepullers In and out of the department to get the bettor of the game. And the deputy commissioner Is not always taken Into th confidence of his confidential man and ths result of it all 1 that ther Is trouble and maybe a tangle to the discredit of the commissioner's head If not to hie heart.

Robert Beattie Dropped a Vase, Which Awoke Mrs. Fatzold.

Who Grabbed and Held Him for the Police. Robert Besttle, 1 years old, of 656 West Forty-fifth street, Manhattan, was sent to th Reformatory by Magistrate Breen, In the West Side Court, yestorday, for attempting to rob the apartment of Mrs. Ida Patzold, of 630 Tenth avenue. Mrs. Patsold told Magistrate Breen thst she wss taking her afternoon nap when young Beattie entered her apartment.

Henry Holland, Who Committed Sui cide, Was Annoyed by Telephone Calls and Tradesmen's Boys.

Investigation In the matter of the death Of Henry Holland, Janitor of the apart ment house at 20S West One Hundred and Eighth street, Manhattan, who Was found dead in his room there last Friday, led to the statement his wife, Anna, that hie multifarious duties, which Included re oeivlng grocers' boys ahd all sorts of trades' men's employes, as well as answering tele phons calls, operated to the Janitor's mlnd-weakenlng, provoking suicide. The room in whioh the man's body waa discovered was filled With, gas whioh caused asphyxiation, but to make assurance doubly sure. It seems. Holland had In his hand an open rasor, as If he were to have used that also It the gas failed to kill him. Coroner Harburger went to the scene and made an Investigation.

The widow of the dead man said that for some time Hol land, who was 85 years old and got 15 a month wages, had exhibited excessive an noyance at having to answer telephone calls, but his especial aversion had arisen from the guying of tradesmen boys. She bo- lleved that he killed himself to escape what had been to a sentltive temperament nothing short of torture. TALK ON SETTLEMENT WORK. Mass Meeting to Be Held in Manhattan Next Wednesday.

It was In 179 that Most loft ths Germane-peaking countries for England, He started a paper called Die Frolhoit.

When Alexander It of Russia was assassinated Most published an article commending the murder. He put a red border around his paper to make that article more inflammatory. He served a terra In an English prison for attacking a friendly powor. He got out of Jail and came to America, In 1883. He revived the Frelhelt In New York.
