Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, was waiting to go on the witness stand, but Mr. I'nterinyer explained lirst why It was Improbable that (he committee will accept several Invitations from Buffalo to return there and continue the Investigation it conducted last fall. 1 The counsel's direct statement regarding the acceptance of "retainers" was quickly challenged by Assemblyman James Caultield of Kings who expressed the opinion that the committee did not know this to be an actual fact. "The situation In Buffalo Is scandalous," Mr. 1'nlermyer said, "hut tin" people of Buffalo do not seem very anxious to correct it; or they have not the power to do so against those who appear to be in control.

When our legislation eaine before tho Legislature, Menu tors from Buffalo and members of the Assembly from Buffalo were found voting against that legislation with private retainers In their pockets. "Tho ('ommitlee bad no knowledge of fhat." interrupted Assemblyman Caultield. To Prove Charge, Says ptci nivol'.

Wu Pei-Fu. the Central Chinese leader, had recaptured Changsintlen, which for the past few days has been held by Gen. Chang Tsao-Lin, his rival for the control of Peking. It is exceedingly difficult, however, to obtain authoritative news here of the military activities, as Tientsin is completely cut off from General Wu's headquarters, and apparently he was no representative here. The city is being flooded with propaganda In favor of the Manchurian leader, an example of which was yesterday's report that General Wu had been killed In action.

Menden on Stand. Menden took the stand at the opening of the hearing and made a series of minor corrections in his testimony of last week. Fred Lindars, chief accountant in the commission's valuation bureau, was next called and presented a summary of the R.

financial condition, as set forth in the company's statement to the commission for March, 1922. The statement was confined to the New York Consolidated Company the B. It, T. subsidiary which operates the subway and elevated lines. Mr.

Lindars stated that it showed that for March the net corporate income was $99,557.19 after deducting nil interest, and other charges, including $73,273.97 on receiver's ccr-; tilicates. This he said was an increase of $111,189.71 over March of last year, thus wiping out a $10,000 deficit of (hat date and showing nearly a $100,000 earn in capacity per month. Then Shearn read into the record a newspaper clipping which he said the 1. R. T.

lawyers had agreed was about accurate, which showed that the whole Brooklyn Rapid Transit system showed net earnings for March from all sources, after allowing for taxes, rentals, of $350,34 1. as compared with $75,440 for March of 1921, or an Increase of 364 percent. Clash Over Figures. "For the nine months ended March 81, 1922," continued Shearn, "the system shows a net income of $2,012,041, compared with a deficit of for the corresponding period a year ago." This statement precipitated a storm. "I do not see the relevancy of those figures," said Darius Marsh, counsel for Receiver Garrison.

"It means the death knell of your claims for higher fares," interrupted Corporation Counsel John P. O'Brien. "I didn't ask you any question," snapped Marsh. "I'm just telling it to you, Mr. Marsh," replied O'Brien.

"I am addressing the Commission." said Marsh.

Rodman 'Wanamaker today 'tendered Mayor Hylan his resignation as chairman of the Mayor's Committee on Permanent War Memorial, the Mayor's Committee on Reception to Distinguished Guests and the Mayor's Committee on Public Welfare. "Which action," Mr. Wanamaker says in his letter to the Mayor, "I assume dissolves the entire committee appointed by me at your direction." Referring to the proposal to erect a permanent war memorial, Mr. Wanamaker writes: "Although crrtain political and personal elements were Injected into the situation, your Committee feels that it has been unable to complete its undertaking thus far, mainly because her to give up the position Her mother refused lo have trained many companies other than the Consolidated, and in a hearing which Is considering the operations of the Consolidated I do not see that these figures spell anything as far as this particular hearing is concerned."

At the close of today's hearing officials of the commission stated that service order, directing increased number of cars and trains above the voluntary jumps the company had made, would undoubtedly result. This came after Walter T. Kdgerton. expert for the commission, had given figures showing a continuation of the overcrowded and congested conditions. "To my mind," declared Shearn, "these figures show the need for radical' improvement in service.

It is now quite clear that, despite the increases In service that the company has made of itself, there Is still excessive loading at many points on all the lines." At the end of the hearing there was -brief argument over the demand of Corporation Counsel O'Brien that the city's experts be given permission to Investigate (he company's power plants to "show how power was being wasted."

Two versions of the accident were given, one which seemed to throw the blame on the Mayor's chauffeur, Joseph Emprey, and the other which laid it to the motorman of the trolley car, John Groth of 1731 Greene ave. According to the first version, Em-prey was going parallel with the trolley car when he attempted to cut across in front of it, and the motorcar skidded and collided with the trolley.

The other version was that he line of motorcars were held up lo some school children pass across the' avenue and the Mayor's car Mopped and the surface car came behind it. The motorman is said to have applied the brakes in time, but the wheels skiddtyl on the slippery rails causing the car to crash into the Mayor's machine. After the accident the Mayor and the others stepped out of the machine and an examination showed that the windshield and a mudguard had been damaged. The machine was able to proceed to the City Hall. A throng of school children and passersby gathered about the machine after the accident and the Mayor was quickly recognized.

As he stepped into the machine and it started off the crowd rave him a cheer. He arrived at City Hall 15 minutes late as the result of the accident. He failed to indicate that he considered the motorman blameless. "Slippery rails was the excuse given by Motorman Groth for the accident," was his comment. The surface car was crowded at the time of the accident with straphangers on their way to work.

Menden in rebuttal declared that this was an unfair method of figuring because the new cars put on were all larger than the old ones. Menden insisted that a basis of car-seat-miles should be used and on this basis it figures out an increase of more than 3 percent above the passenger increase.
