NEW YORK. MONDAY, JANUARY 2T. 1918. 3 Manhattan Skyscrapers Dark and Gloomy Today Wall Street entered upon its first heatless Monday with the utmost good nature.

Elevator service and light were greatly curtailed in all the big office buildings, reduction in some instances leaving the main corridors in darkness. On the Stock Exchange, where the market opened with 3. firm undertone, the attendance of members was much reduced and many of those who appeared wore overcoats or else sweaters under their other garments. The chests of the gray-coated messengers of the Exchange swelled suspiciously. The management of the Equitable Building, 120 Broadway, the largest office building in the United States, the business home of 13,000 people, did everything possible today to see to it that the fuel curtailment order was observed.

By the curtailment of the elevator service and the saving of electric power Clarence L. Coley, operating manager of the building, expects to save about 20 tons of coal. Only one elevator was running day in the big Woolworth Building. There was no heat, and the only lights were a few dim ones which were used of necessity. With the exception of light and heat furnished by exemption to two financial institutions onl the lower floor, the heating and lighting services were closed.

The Park Row Building houses a number of Government offices on three of its floors, the fifth, ninth and fourteenth. There was elevator service to these floors alone, and no heat and MISCHA DIDN'T COME, THOUGH FAMILY DID; NO ELMAN CONCERT Continued From Page 1. Edward L. Bernays, became Eddie Bernays, the orator, and Joe Humphries groaned in Manhattan. Poor old Joe b'Gee! Eddie is looking for his job.

Eddie finished his oration about the Fuel Administration, the MeAdoo mismanagement of the railroads, the decay of art appreciation and the expression of the hope that when Mischa returned to fill this engagement there might be as money in the house. Then, at Frank Ferguson, official Academy announcer. told the audience to go home, except those who wanted to get back their change. "They," he said, "might get on the B. R.

T. some time before midnight." And all this time Papa Elman wept and the Elman sisters dreamed of the new dresses they wouldn't get, and Mr. Coppicus smoked angrily a gift cigar. But proud in her beauty Dagmar Godowsky sat through it all serene. It was not her father who was snowbound; it was only a violinist.

But Elman will come again later, probably when the spring flowers bloom and the railroads have coal, and then Brooklynites may hear him play in his own inimitable way and forgive and forget the time lost from the uplifting perusal of The Sunday Eagle, As the event was viewed by the audience it was a case of wait, as the minutes went by after the scheduled time for the concert to commence. Many late comers hurried to their seats, with sighs of relief that they were in time. About 3:25, when the people were becoming a little weary of staring at the stage and the grand piano, the door opened and a man stepped forth. A rustle of anticipation stirred the audience, but the man merely bowed and announced that Mr. Elman was delayed by a train wreck.

Those who wished could have their money returned, but he hoped everybody would wait a few moments. Everybody, with a very few exceptions, did wait. They waited more than a few moments, and then another man appeared, another rustle of anticipation, and another little speech. This time it was announced that Mr. Elman could not possibly reach the Academy until after 5 o'clock.

and therefore the concert would be postponed until some future date. and the audience crowded out. some to cash in their tickets, but the majority to hold 011 to the pasteboards and hope for an early Elman appearance. OBITUARY See also Death Notices, last page. and Mrs.

NEW ORDERS SOON Washington, January 21-Director General MeAdoo told the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee today ho thought the Government should retain operation of the railroads for some time after peace comes, and not return he them to private ownership until new and comprehensive laws had been enacted to govern them "It should be borne in mind," said Mr. MeAdoo, "that by the end of the war the public and shippers will be to dealing with the Government, and I am convinced that a thorough time should be given at the end of the war before 1 the railroads are turned back to their owners.

An entire new situation, he thought, would be faced when peace came, that would have to be met by new and comprehensive laws, and that it would be injurious to the stockholders to throw the railroads back into private operation without first adopting "comprehensive and rational legislation." This, he thought, would take time. Doesn't Indorse Federal Ownership. "Do you personally believe in Government ownership?" asked Senator Watson. "No." replied Mr. MeAdoo.

"But I do believe it will be impossible to turn the roads back to their owners under exactly the same system by which they were operated when the Government took them over. There must be some form of Government control." Senator Watson asked if the railroads under Government control would not continue to operate under their old management except for orders given from time to time by the Director General. "The fundamental principles of operation have been changed by orders already given." Mr. MeAdoo said, "and others are in contemplation which change entirely the routing of Approves Coal Order. Director General McAdoo denied that he had anything to do with the fuel restriction order.

He said he approved of the order and thought it would be very beneficial. MeAdoo indicated, however, that if weather conditions improved it might not be necessary for the fuel order to remain in effect as long as indicated. He declared the transportation situation was being greatly improved, and that the entire fuel problem could be worked out, so that his office could effect a better distri- bution. Step Not Permanent. "It must be remembered that the step taken is not permanent," McAdoo continued, "but in order to handle the situation the Government took the step.

The measure is an emergency measure and the compensation is an emergency step. I am convinced that the basis proposed is fair and reasonable and I am particularly convinced hat it is a fair and reasonable basis because of the peculiar and optional character of the method of control." Senator Watson asked if the fuel order was to relieve the fuel or the transportation situation. "I think both," Mr. McAdoo replied. "Not only was the coal distribution unequal, but the congestion intertered with the movement of coal.

The weather during the past four weeks has also interfered." "Were you a party to the proposition asked Senator Watson. "No." MeAdoo replied. "but I approved it. I think it will be a very large benefit. assume with reasonable weather we are going to improve the situation.

I hope the won't have to stand as long as indicated."

PROMISES NOT FULFILLED London, January 21-The Daily Mail publishes a two column contributed article vehemently attacking the government and the General Staff in connection with the finding of the staff, announced in the House of Commons on Tuesday, that the British higher army command had not been surprised by the German attack on the Cambrai front 011 November 30, when the British lost part of the ground gained in the offensive a few days earlier, The article says that the ment, under the pressure of the General Staff, is hushing up the incident while the Germans claim to have captured or destroyed 132 tanks and to have taken 9,000 men and 100 guns. The writer adds: "A particular army cliquo has had supreme military control for two years and has repeatedly failed to fulfill its own expectations and promises."

Stops the Cough and Head- Missouri Senator Makes Bitter Attack on Colonel in Speech in Senate. MENACES SUCCESS OF WAR Washington, January 21-4 -Characterizing former President Roosea8 "the agent the Kaiser has in America," and "the most seditious man of consequence in America," Senator Stone addressing the Senate today, charged that Republican leaders are engaged In 8 studied effort to make politics out of the war. Their object is to "take the Government over into own hands," by partisan criticism' of the conduct of the war, he declared. Senator Stone's address excoriated partisanship in the war. Besides Col.

Roosevelt, he named Chairman Willcox of the Republican National Committee and Senator Penrose among Republican leaders as "witnesses" to the political plot he alleged. Investigations by Congress of war operations, Senator Stone 'also declared, have almost entirely been launched by Republicans and adroitly exploited for partisan purposes. Roosevelt's "Villainous Screeds." leaders regarding the political plans statements of the Republican and editorials of Colonel Roosevelt, which, he said, are "villainous screeds" published for money, Senator Stone declared: "On my responsibility as a Senator, I charge that since our entrance into the war Roosevelt, by his attacks on the Government, has been a menace and obstruction to the successful prosecution of the war. only possible effect of these widely published utterances of this said Senator Stone, "has de been -as they were designed to be- -to discredit and bring the present Government into public disfavor and weaken its hold on popular confidence. That seems to be the Rooseveltian standard of patriotism." Similar utterances made by less powerful citizens, Senator Stone asserted, cution would subject them to prosefor disloyalty.

all men," said the Missouri Senator, "Roosevelt is most responsible for what he denounces. He does his work cunningly. In the front of his propaganda he throws a deceptive political camouflage. I charge that Theodore Roosevelt is the most potent agent the Kaiser has in America. cannot escape the belief that this exceptional colonel, who has played so many games of questionable politics is now playing another game of his particular brand for a very great stake." After charging that many Republican Senators are seeking to make political capital out of the war, he called attention to election next fall of the entire House membership and many Senators, with a Presidential election two years later, and proceeded: "Here 1s a chance for the dominating Republicans of the country to strike hard to turn down this Administration and take the Government into their own hands.

That fight is on. It is being played before our very eyes." Introduces Star Witness. After arraigning Senator Penrose and Chairman Willcox rebuking what he charged as "their partisan outbursts," Senator Stone continued: "I now introduce my star witness, Theodore Roosevelt himself--whom I characterize as the most seditious man consequence in America. The heart of this man is aflame with inordinate ambition and he runs amuck. His chief thought is not to help the Government, but always of Roosevelt.

Almost every day this man speaks in bitter and contemptuous disparagement of the President and the majority members of this Congress. Every week for a long time he has been and still is publishing under contract for a money consideration--think of it, for money-villainous screeds in the Kansas City Star attacking the President and the Government. These Roosevelt contributions are reproduced in numerous important newspapers. Whatever may be said of the papers reproducing these disloyal utterances the Kansas City Star is chiefly responsible." Turning to the Congressional war investigations the Senator said he did not question the right of Congress to make the inquiries, but rather their purpose and publicity given to national difficulties, and added: "I doubt the wisdom of wide open investigations into almost everything that might be made the subject of criticism of the Administration. "I do not mean that administrative errors should be concealed from our people.

Of course mistakes have been made by the Government--doubtless many and grave mistakes. In the circumstances that was inevitable, but is it necessary for us to stand on a house top and proclaim these mistakes with a loud voice to the whole world?" Many Democratic leaders, including Postmaster General Burleson, conferred with Senator Stone today, seeking to dissuade him from delivering his speech. Mr. Stone first planned to deliver the speech last Thursday, but has deferred it from time to time until today. HENNIG TRIAL POSTPONED Because of a Federal Statute passed in 1790, requiring that the names and addresses of all witnesses against a person accused of treason must be submitted to counsel for the defense three days before trial of the case, the trial of Paul C.

Federal District Attorney France turned over to Lawyer Arthur Kyle Wing, counsel for Hennig, a list of 25 names those who will appear against Hennig, who is charged with making torpedo gyroscopes defective. The last of these names were given to Lawyer Wing yesterday afternoon. The law allows three days, not inclusive of the day on which the names are furnished or the trial day.
