i.ce of the rviiPsjAauis S.a,ion. Ttu-f can be hardied and cheeper by the Long Island trains taaii by city subways. At the presf nt time the Long Island is pleading lor higher fares and complaining of the failure of the city to build transit lines to relieve assure on the railroad. The fare on the Long Irora Jamaica to the Pennsylvania is live or six times the fare charged on the single rapid transit line. There are other features of the Smith plan, quite apart from all questions of lares, that are unacceptable to the of Brooklyn ai'-d Queens.

Obviously what is needed is a compromise between the Smith and the Untermyer plans. Both will have to be modified. The time is rapidly Al -'Mit'I'W I tgei the steak fcul become done to a turn in half a minute. All but two seconds wJl be lopped off from the time for frying an ej. And so on all along the biU of fare.

The dispatches do not tell us whether the three-minute boiled egg will be sped up by this iiew application of electrical magic to a three-second egg. Perhaps even science has Its limits. The difficulty of getting an egg boiled to the exact degree demanded by personal taste has outwitted the ingenuity of the makers of timekeepers up to now. The difficulty would no doubt be increased enormously by cutting the minutes down to seconds and compelling the cook to stand by with a stop watch. But what will become of the cook if this revolutionary device makes good? Cooking will become one of life's brevities, like striking a match and turning on the gas burner instead of lighting a wood fire with flint and steel and tinder.

Not only will the cook have no further occupation for her time, but she will have nothing more to make her grumble. No one will ever spoil a meal by coming to the feast late, long after it has been done to a turn and undone by several further turns. For who would think, under the new dispensation, of starting to cook until the eaters had sat down at the table? One fears that the cook could not long survive a state of things such as that. The loss of occasion for wholesome and legitimate grumbling would alone suffice to cause her speedy demise. approaching when the need for compromise will beccme clear to all concerned.

The sooner the i better. MORE ROOSEVELT LOGIC. Some time ago Colonel P.oooevelt made sensa bH tional charges in which he held Governor Smith I i trirAI i if FX responsible for scandalous conditions in the government of Albany. The Colonel gave Governor Smith ten days in which to answer the accusations under threat of amplifying the charges. An ironic fate decreed that at about the time he promised to carry out his threat Colonel Roosevelt was called to Washington to testify concerning his part in the oil scandal under the Harding Administration, in which Colonel Roosevelt was a cog.

Although belated, the Colonel has since returned to his attacks on the Governor. He brought out that indictments have been secured 1 -m? iff I til against prominent Democratic politicians in Al- Efeietl at the i Vail Ma't'f thi: jx-UTEn rnrss spivs l'-.

Thoroughly consistent with the record of the cil scandals is the revelation that private detectives have been tampering with members of the jury engaged in trying Harry F. Sinclair and Albert B.

Fall for conspiracy to defraud the United States Government. Corrupting influences, apparent from the beginning of the Senate Investigation into the leases granted to Sinclair and Doheny, have thus penetrated even into the Courts of Justice. Affidavits presented to the Court by Government counsel in demanding a mistrial make the following allegations: 1. That in an apartment in the Wardman Park Hotel occupied by employees of the Burns Detective Agency papers were seized which Indicated an effort "to find contacts and relationships with the jurors for some ulterior and Improper purpose." 2. That the detectives operated under the direction of one A.

Mason Day, who, In turn, was in direct contact with Harry F. Sinclair, one of the defendants. 3. That Edward J. Kidwell, a member of the jury, had expressed admiration for Sinclair, that he saw no reason to convict him and that he Kidwell) expected to become the owner of a high-priced automobile Immediately after the trial.

4. That the above Information regarding Kidwell was given by the juror himself to a streetcar conductor, that the conductor gave it to a newspaperman, who passed it on to the United States District Attorney. Some of these charges may not be susceptible of proof, especially that which relates to Kidwell's I i i 1 ft A I (S. 1 fiv mtrrm JTX Lot I 1FB 1 I a TfcflHDT D0MC bany. The Roosevelt theory is that Governor Smith Is responsible for any wrongdoing on the part of these men.

He goes even further. In an interview in The Eagle of yesterday the Colonel declared: Governor Smith is responsible for everything that goes on in the Democratic party of this State. Smith is the Democratic party. He has said so himself. In the Army, who is responsible for every act of the least of the privates? The Colonel.

Well, Alfred E. Smith is the Colonel of the State Democracy. If a single leader of the Tammany forces goes bad, as so many of them have, who Is the man who should be held equally guilty with that culprit? Governor Smith. This is a new idea in military discipline as in politics. As a Colonel in the World War, we must assume that Theodore Roosevelt was jointly responsible for every act of wrongdoing on the part of the privates under him.

It is appalling to think of one of the Colonel's men turning traitor. The Colonel might have faced a firing squad with equanimity, but it would have been a serious blot on the Roosevelt name. But it is not necessary to go back to the war to apply the acid test to the Roosevelt theory of responsibility. He was head of the ticket on which Mrs. Florence Knapp was elected to the office of Secretary of State.

He was the Colonel in that campaign. Does he feel that he should share full responsibility for Mrs. Knapp's conduct In office? riif naw aaj.S. MUSIC OF THE DAY FRANKLIN P. SELLERS.

The Civil War drummer boy of 17, fourth of his family to enlist to save the Union and already once wounded in action, whom chance made the bearer of a message from General Ulysses S. Grant to President Lincoln, passes away at the age of 80, after a newspaper career Immensely useful in keeping for Brooklyn, even after consolidation, the honored title of "The City of Churches." Franklin P. Sellers, for thirty-five years religious editor of The Eagle, is gone. His personality will long linger in the minds of those who knew and loved him. No man was ever more uniformly guided by the spirit of Lincoln's immortal words: "With malice toward none and with charity for all." The pettiness of hate was always beneath him.

Everybody had come to know Mr. Sellers as "the Colonel." He never claimed a military title; he was rather proud of having been In the rank and file. Quizzically imposed on him when he was still a young man, the "Colonel" sobriquet was quizzically accepted. His fellow members of Grant Post used It as freely as the rest of us. It was the Colonel who organized and took charge of The Eagle's Monday Sermon Page; the Idea was his own and there were many scoffers at it.

In a dozen years this feature had carried The Eagle, the Monday Eagle, into every country of the known world except Egypt. Egypt was reached later. And there was no State in the Union where the Sermon Page had not a substantial circulation. Franklin P. Sellers used to say, "I was born In one end of a printing office." He was setting type from the case when he was 13 years old.

His father became owner of the Belvidere, New Jersey, Intelligencer, which was sold after the father's death. The boy's enlistment In the Fortieth Regiment, New Jersey Volunteers, came soon after. When the war was ended he wandered far and wide as a Journeyman printer, till 1869, when he got a job on the New York Times, eventually becoming proof reader. And the mind-habit of the proof reader stuck to him and helped him in his Brooklyn work. His Indignation over a misspelled name was always sincere, unqualified, and sometimes eruptive In its expression.

As religious editor. Colonel Sellers went back to the days of Henry Ward Beecher, the Rev. Dr. Richard S. Storrs, the Rev.

Dr. Theodore L. Cuy-ler and other giants of the Brooklyn pulpit as old Brooklynltes remember It. He had at almost any period of his activity a personal acquaintance with some three hundred ministers, priests and rabbis. Clergymen of all denominations joined In giving him a $500 purse on the celebration of his thirtieth year of sermon-handling.

He was personally a Baptist, but he had full sympathy with all creeds and knew the dividing lines of creeds as well as any professional, theologian. Such a man, patriot, good citizen, devoted Christian, and as faithful in his work as in his fellowships, compels respect. And mourning lor such a man reaches the very heartstrings. That Is what his fellow workers on The Eagle are feeling, and that Is what his clerical friends will feel as they read of his passing. But they will al.o feel that In a nor.theologlcal sease worth and kindliness are Immortal.

conversation with the streetcar conductor. But -By EDWARD CUSHING- Salvaging College Failures fProvidence Journal. Pindar tells of the unwelcome return of those who failed In the Greek games. That is the seamy side of triumph. During the past 6ummer.

in well-nigh every hamlet of our land, kinsmen and neighbors have been watching the effort of some boy or girl to enter college. Many have been 30 falls the blame attaches neither to him nor to the college but to those who turned his steps in the wrong direction. Som-s day we shall have advisory Ltards who will make a sympathetic study of our boys and girls and tell them where they can find their best training. They may find it lu college or in a school of manual training. In that day also, it is to be hoped, false social standards will not force OPENING of the Metropolitan Opera season in Brooklyn.

Giovanni Martinelll, Antonio Scotti, Giordano Paltrinierl, Pompillo students upon the colleges, dooming to failure many who may be equipped for success and happiness under nonacademic training THE TAX CUT HEARINGS. The first day's hearings on tax reduction before the Ways and Means Committee In Washington disclosed an astounding variety of views.

The United States Chamber of Commerce, which is usually hand in glove with the conservative views of the Coolidge Administration, wants the Mellon proposal of a $225,000,000 cut raised to $400,000,000. The American Farm Bureau Federation wants no cut at all. It favors reducing the national debt. On the basis of the views developed yesterday It seems likely that Mr. Mellon's conservatism will go by the board.

With both Democrats and leading Republicans favoring a cut beyond $225,000,000 agreement upon a higher figure seems likely. In that case there will be a struggle between the documentary evidence In possession of the Government Is apparently sufficient to show that frlvate detectives were at work on a case Into hich they had no business whatsoever to Intrude. Counsel for the two defendants have denied knowledge of the activities attributed to the Burns Agency. The denials have been received by the Court without comment. There remains, however, the fact that somebody engaged detectives, and that the detectives were busy on the case in apartments hired for them in a fashionable Washington hotel.

There remains, also, the charge that these detectives were under the Immediate direction of Mr. Day, a Sinclair Oil Company official, who Is registered at the Mayflower Hotel In Washington, where Harry F. Sinclair Is also registered. The declaration of a mistrial, announced this morning, must result In a postponement of the case. It should also result in further criminal prosecutions.

There should be no great difficulty in finding out all that needs to be known about the employment of detectives for the purpose of reaching Jurymen, an enterprise which Is plainly criminal. Justice In the District of Columbia should be able to pursue to the limit those who have undertaken to defile the precincts of her courts. those who would reduce the corporation tax to ten percent and those who seek elimination of the motorcar and admission taxes. The farmers are not interested in reducing corporation taxes or income taxes. They don't pay either.

But they want the three percent tax on motorcars eliminated. They object to Secretary Mellon's characterization of a motorcar as a semi-luxury. In these pre-election days the farmer is a power and he has a good chance of getting what he wants. Compared with the rest of the world this country is in an unusually fortunate position. Wc are considering one tax reduction after another at a time when many countites are still Imposing tax increases.

the successes but many also the failures. Yet, even for those accepted, the contest Is not yet over. The student may come home later, disgraced, disheartened, cheated of his career, because he has fallen below the standard or, in the cruel phrase of the campus, has "flunked out." In so far as the process Insures to society a group better qualified to profit by Its educational advantages, tiiere can be no complaint; for America needs far more deeply than she yet realizes to mobilize her brains. But the rejected student and his friends may naturally feel that he has not haJ a fair ch.nce. They can be assured howcier, that he has under the rules set by the colleges.

The point ir us all to raise Is: Are those the only possible or desirable rules? In other words, Is education of the tcademlc type the only higr.way to success in life? The colleges must keep up their standards or their results will fall off; and their present results are Impressive. One-half the successful men in the higher walks rf American life have entered them through collect gates. But could they have helped other half or a further unknown number who have not succeeded? There are observers wno, while they would have our colleges aeep to their historic path, do not believe that America Is offering a full educational privilege to sll her youth. What is no less important, they hold that she Is falling to draw out of hamlet and town and city all the latent ability that now. unconscious of Its fowers.

The joke is becoming thoroughly hackneyed, and almost traditional, that one about the woman who is expert in wielding a can opener but knows little or nothing about actual cooking. The aged wheeze is predicated upon the that the male of the species has a major complaint to register in this connection.

Well, assuming that he has, it will be found, if the case is thoroughly analyzed, that he has only himself to blame for the present state of development In the business of feeding the family. For the truth is that man in his business of manufacturing for the kitchen and the table has worked so exceedingly well that It Is no longer necessary for the wife to make of herself a kitchen drudga. What she can buy in the shop (almost all of It prepared by men) Is so good that she Is freed from tasks formerly performed by wdmen. Moreover, her buying of prepared foods means a saving In cash and more satisfactory balancing of the household Nor has man's conniving to keep the wife out of the kitchen ended there. Numerous articles of equipment, mostly developed by the application of electric current, have been perfected and these are lifling the burden of the hardest kitchen work from the shoulders and hands and Icet and backs of the kitchen worker.

It all sums up to something much better then a Juke. In the best sense of the woio, emancipation for women has ben achieved by these beneilcent features of present-day domestic Hie WE admire the second act of "Madam Butterfly." Why not? This is no heresy against our faith hi Bach and Brahms, Wagner and Richard Straus. Art is a stimulant that must not too frequently be taken at full strength. We lose something when we are no longer moved by the obvious in its better forms: there Is often delicacy to be admired where profundity does not exist. How well the second act of "Madam Butterfly'' earns this praise I There are some fairly tiresome tunes in it, but consider, on the other hand, the letter scene and all that follows.

How dramatically adroit the music is the alternation of the minor triad and the major 6-4 chord, as an accompaniment to Butterfly's despair, is a stroke cf genius, and "The Star-Spangled Banner" is made to raise out hair when It leads to the great climax preceding the first, the O-flat section of the Cower duet. There is a lovely phrase of two bars' length for the orchestra just before Sharpless intimates that Plnkerton may not return tlast evening Mr. Bellezza released it with unwonted fury). Indeed, we could become quite garrulous enumerating the Instances ot feeling and craftsmanship contained in this act. The balance of the opera is like the lirst last acts of "Tosca" mediocre.

For Puccini was always at his best where his dramatic instinct, rather than his lyrical instinct, was called into play. The grandiose tunes of "Madam Butterfly" may be wonderful, but they are very questionable art. Not so huge slices of second act. We have heard them often, and we find them still fresh. THE performance last evening was not brilliant.

Both Mme. Easton and Mr. Mnrtlnelll were In excellent vocal condition, as yet untlred by the strain of constant rehearsal and performance. But Mme. Easton nullified an otherwise careful and effective Butterfly by her conduct at the close of the second act.

A shojll refuted to close and Mme. Easton, pulling and tugging for several minutes, centered the attention of the audience upon the mishap and caused a ripple ot laughter to run through the auditorium. This was no exhibition ot theatrical instinct. Accidents will happen upon the stage, and It la the actor's business to overlook them, or to turn them to profit. We have always regarded Mme.

Easton as an artist of tact and ingenuity. Apparently we have been wrong. The best of the evening's performance were. Indeed, theme given by Ina Bourskavn, as tSumiki.and by Mr. Seotll.

Malatesta, William Oustafson, Paola Quintina and Millo Picco. Conducted by Vincenzo Bellezza. At the Academy of Music last evening. IN A number of yesterday's papers appeared the announcement of the death of John Luther Long at the age of 66.

To another generation than our own, Mr. Long was a romancer of some repute. Loving the Orient from afar, he wisely elected to keep a distance between himself and his Ideal of "the poetry and beauty that is Japan," and, knowing no more of the Land of the Rising Sun than what books and a sister might tell him, to write of it in purely imaginative terms. Alone, or In collaboration with others, Mr. Long was the auther of several plays beloved by our elders.

His "Madam Butterfly" (the appearance of which must have annoyed Pierre Loti), first a story, became a drama at the behest of David Belasco and an opera In the hands of Puccini. The story and the play, like the majority of Mr. Long's writings, have Ions been forgotten. The opera survived to coincldently open the Brooklyn season of Mr. Oattl's Metropolitan company on the day of Mr.

Long's death. A collca-ue, commenting upon this, for some reason found It remarkable. Why, we wonder? Had Mr. Long chosen another day for his release from the entanglements of this existence, somewhere, though perhaps not In Brooklyn, the hour of his departing would have as nearly synchronized with a performance of "Madam Butterfly." THE piece Is perennially popular. Surely Mr.

Long, admitting himself a "sentimentalist," must have known that by the same token he was an Immortal. There was no need for Mr. Conrad to assure us, In a cele-biated preface, that the sentlmcn-alist. like the poor, Is exceedingly to be rid of: the critic and public have long held this and would not wish It otherwise. Life might be conceivably too strenuous If all fables, dramas and operas neie masterpieces.

We hive need ol the sentimentalist; he Is the "arrow of longing" aimed at genius; he stands upon the lesser height and Is the measure of the peaks behind him Mr. Lonrt, perhaps, did net rnnk treatly even as a sentimentalist, but the opera based upon his chef oeuvre I certainly preeminent among examples of art that stir the surfaces and leave the depths of character and emotion unsounded definition of tc ntlmcntailsm as good as any other.

Becoming a member and a trustee of the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics. Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh accepts a Falaried position with the organization which financed his tour of the United States in The Spirit of St.

Louis. The unspecified salary Is doubtless satisfactory to him, though perhaps much less than several offers from commercial aviation Interests. Lindbergh Is retained "In an advisory capacity," He is to go where he can do most to further the ends of the Fund, and he Is to make flights when and where he chooses to do so. That he has "a good loose trade" like the old journeyman printer may be conceded. That he will use his freedom effectively and conscientiously no one of his millions of admirers Is Inclined to doubt.

We congratulate the Guggenheim Fund on the acquisition. We congratulate the Colonel on his decision to put dignity of service ahead of all other consideration. And we congratulate thone who have the highest hopes for the sane and practical development of aviation on having Lindbergh's Influence brotiKht to bear on conditions.

Charles Edward Smith, the engineer engaged by Controller Berry to make a study of New York transit, appeared before the Merchants Association and amplified the arguments presented in his report. From his remarks It would seem that Mr.

Smith has come under the baneful power that turns all transit experts into rhetoricians when they breathe New York subway air. Mr. Smith's published report contained a lot of material that should have no place In a document of that kind. His speech yesterday, with Its lefercnces to people of Irish descent as "the ruling class" of New York, matched some of the recent outbursts by Mr. Untermyer, for whose temperament this community has long made allowances.

This is unfortunate, for the transit problem badly needs to be lifted out of this overheated atmosphere. Mr. Untermyer has evolved a plan under which (he five-cent fare may be saved by the creation of a compact system made up of the best-paying lines, but leaving out elevated and stirfare lines that serve tens of thousands of persons. Mr. Smith proposes a more comprehensive system, to Include all elevated and surface lines, but having unbuilt Important lines of the new city subway.

His system would be operated at a flexible fare starting at seven cents. Neither of these two plans fully meets the requirements of the situation. The weaknesvs rf the Untermyer plan, as it affects Brooklyn, have been dealt with at length In these columns. The weaknesses of the Smith proposals are quite notable. Among other things he would eliminate the new Fulton street subway as well as the Queens tunnel and subway to Jamaica.

He would have the Brooklyn cro.wtown line constructed but would connect it with the old tub-waj-s at DcKalb avenue and at the Tiara. Mr. Smith yesterday painted a vivid picture the outrageous crowding In the existing rub-ways.
