And since the investigation has already disclosed irregularities in other boroughs it is difficult to escape the conclusion that dishonesty is widespread.

Street Cleaning Commissioner Taylor announced yesterday: "I am determined to see that the department is cleaned up." If the department were a private instead of a public institution, some One else would be in charge of the cleanup. Any department head under whose administration there is wholesale graft has been guilty of neglect. Commissioner Taylor's "determination" would be more convincing if he himself had Initiated the investigation now under way. The first responsibility of any department head is to see that his department is run efficiently and honestly. If he fails in this he should be dismissed.

Mayor Walker would make a real contribution to efficient municipal government if he dismissed the Street Cleaning Commissioner and announced that dismissal would be the fate of any commissioner who waited for outside investigators to reveal inside graft. ..3 5r iiMmM I of the Institute is assured under his direction. HAGEN WINS AGAIN. On the course at Sandwich where he first won the British Open Golf championship in 1922 Walter Hagen, in two successive rounds of 72 each, won that title yesterday for the third time. In 1923, defending the crown for the third time, Hagen lost to Arthur Havers by a single stroke.

In 1924 he won for the second time. ii mjaju Hagen had no easy going to attain his winning STEIKSRINK'S WEAK ARGUMENT. Ir. Meier Steinbrink, chief counsel in the investigation cf ambulance chasing now being conducted secretly before Justice Faber in Brooklyn, is opposed To holding public hearings, as is being done in Manhattan. Kis reasons for this opposition, as stated in a speech before the Brooklyn Bar Association and in subsequent statements to The Eagle, are as follows: 1.

Lack of funds, the Bar Association having failed to give adequate financial support. 2. There were no public hearings in Manhattan until preliminary hearings had been held there. 3. It is desirable to continue secret hearings here until the Court of Appeals passe? on the questions raised by the Manhattan lawyer, Karlin, who challenged the validity of the inquiry.

4. Conditions In Brooklyn and Manhattan are different. There is less ambulance chas- tag here and it is confined to a smaller group. These arguments have the following answers: (1. The Eagle will gladly guarantee the extra costs of public hearings in Brooklyn.

2. Although Mr. Steinbrink says there is less ambulance chasing in Brooklyn, his secret inquiry here has already taken approximately as long as the secret preliminary hearings that preceded public hearings in Manhattan. 3. The Manhattan lawyer, Karlin, challenged the Manhattan investigators at the beginning of the public hearings there.

If Justice Wasservogel and Mr. Krlsel had suspended public hearings to await the deci- sion of the Court of Appeals in the Karlin case none of the useful results of the Manhattan investigation would iiave been pos-Eiole. 4. If there is less ambulance chasing in Brooklyn and it is confined to a smaller group than in Manhattan, it should be easier and less expensive to conduct secret and public hearings concurrently, as is being done across the river. total of 292 for the 1928 title.

That morsel of golfing genius from the Argentine, Jose Jurado, was four strokes ahead of him at the halfway mark; his fellow-countryman, Gene Sarazen, was i closest to Jurado, and Hagen's conqueror in the recent Moor Park match, Archie Compston, held Hagen in a tie. But yesterday, as the wise onc3 had predicted, Jurado cracked under the strain and the only two competitors who threatened Hagen in the closing round were Sarazen and Compston. When the last puts were sunk the former was two strokes behind Hagen and the latter three. SECTIONALISM IN FAME.

Massachusetts has reason to feel pratified, on an occasion when natives of her soil furnish the majority of the names to receive the high honor now accorded. Foreigners may note with satisfaction that two out of the five busts represent great men who belonged to this country only through adoption. None the less, the entire country will recognize all five as American in the most signlfl-cent sense. Agassiz ranks as one of the1 explorers of our territory not a geographical explorer, but a prospector In the scientific field. Morse not only originated the telegraph, which speedily became of world importance, but gained a high among American painters; while the telegraphic wire played a vital part in uniting a country of vast distances and few communica Hagen, probably the most colorful player in More Praise for Nelson Harding's Pulitzer Prize Cartoon of 1927 When Campaigned for the Presidency the whole world of golf, earned nil the plaudits that the British gallery bestowed upon him.

IT MIGHT or it might not be a good thing for the Democratic party to slate Mrs. Woodrow Wilson as running mate for Al Smith.

It is not true, however, that Mrs. Wilson would be the first woman to head a ticket as President or Vice President in a national election. In the fall of 1834 there was a huge campaign poster placarding a building opposite the position to represent the industries of American women, securing the promise of the President "to favor representation by women." It was due to Mrs. Lockwocd that the women Journalists were put on equal terms with men in regard to their position at the Paris Exposition of 1900. pvURING her long life she never ceased working to remove the legal limitations that favored one human being as against another.

During the span of her 87 years so mar.y crude legal injustices were wiped out that it is difficult for us to realize what a gigantic task was accomplished by that hardy group of women fighters (and the men who sympathized with them), Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Anna Shaw, Susan B. Anthony, but no contribution surpassed that of Belva Lockwood when the battle was on legal grqimds. when the weapons were the technicalities of Justice. Nobody has ever understood better than Belva Lockwood the legal disabilities of women. She realized that a woman had oniy a vestige of lejal right to her own children.

She understood the task of removing this limitation. It stands as one of the big battles of the woman movement. Some of Mrs. Lockwood's most brilliant speeches far made to public hearings here is rhat innocent persons might be -hurt. Innocent persons are AMERICA DRIVES.

As great as that pleasure was, it is even a greater pleasure to write you again of the great satis-laction I experienced when your name appeared in the paper the day before yesterday as the winner of the same prize two years in succession. The first time the prize had been won by the same person in two successive years. It takes a big man to do a big thing once, but to do the same thing twice is real proof of genuine ability.

It did attract considerable attention and comment because it blazoned a woman "Belva Lockwood for President" of the United States! She had been nominated by the Equal Suffrage party in convention at San Francisco. It was a foregone conclusion that Belva Lockwood would not be elected, but she did poll a creditable vote.

She was renominated in 1888 on a platform containing "many advanced ideas of administration." In one sense these campaigns were futile, but they were a significant gesture, asking the removal ot political discrimination against women. Born at Royalton in 1830, at the age of 18 she married Uriah H. McNall and at 23 was a widow. For a number of years she taught school, was the of Massachusetts won fairly the predominance that they hold. The list as it stands means something; one made up of, let us say, three representatives from every State, or of one from every section with a million Inhabitants, at the Bar of Venice.

This famous convention speech bore no immediate results, but after five years cf bombarding with briefs, speeches, bills, Mrs. Lockwood secured for herself and any other woman lawyer access to the United States Supreme Court.

The abundance of credit has enabled many States greatly to increase the mileage of roads practicable to automobiles. And finally the prosperity, not of the entire country, but ot a great part of the nation, has surpassed all previous records. This country has more than three-quarters of the automobiles in the whole world. But It produces three-quarters of the world's petroleum, of the stuff from which most of the motor fuel, Is made. While the United States may not have three-quarters of all the persons In the world who receive Incomes of 82,000 a year or over, it must contain a very great part, quite probably a majority of them.

And It has the lion's share of the world's mileage of roads suitable for the automobile. Moreover, it has acquired what no other country has yet contracted, to any su-h extent, the motoring habit. Motor transportation has become essential to all its work and play. While conditions remain what tiiey America seems likely to continue to furnish the chief part of the world's automobile demand. AMY WREN, U.

S. COMMISSIONER. Elected by Federal Judges Campbell, Inch and Moscowitz and sworn in by Judge Campbell, Miss Amy Wren is the first woman in the East to hold the place of United States Commissioner In our Judicial system. She was also the f.rst woman to be a Deputy State Attorney General, as some of us remember. That did not last long.

Time-book signatures bothered Miss Wren, her office accommodations were unsatisfactory to her and she soon broke with Attorney General Ottinger, resigning what she called the "meanest tthd poorest paid place" in his office. The salary was $3,500 a year. Since she won in 1908 a (100 prize In the graduating class of the Brooklyn Law School Miss Wren has been much in the public eye. She was a leader in the Bull Moose movement, which was in considerable measure a Doe Moose movement, in 1912, and had her troubles with the other Moose leaders. She has dwelt much on the "inferiority complex" of Republican women.

She will be remembered as the counsel of the B. It T. women's organization in the fight against limitation of their hours. She has been an energetic champion of the compulsory service of women on Juries. She was vainly boomed for a place on the County Bench last year.

Miss Wren's relations with the Republican machine in Brooklyn haven't always been smooth. When she resigned as Deputy Attorney General Jacob A. Livingston remarked coldly! "If the was not satir.fl?d, it was tier privilege to quit." That was a close approach to frankness. But it was announced two days ago that Mr. Livingston as Republican leader had recommended Miss Wren for the and his Judgment seems to have been accepted by the Judges.

Probably Mr. Livingston realizes that women who tcke on active fighting intercut in politics re so rare that it would be unwisdom to discourage any one of them, with political conditions what they arc at present. their young men. proprietor of McNall's Seminary at Oswego.

Willi all her active interests, Mrs. Lockwood made Important literary contributions to her times, among them were pamphlets on "The Hagu Arbitration Court," "Women In Professions" and "A History of the Central-American Republics." She also compiled a list of peace treaties between the United Btates ar.d other countries.

HER earllestf attempts at securing recognition for women were, naturally, connected with voting. Her legal training often enabled her to base her demands on their legality, but, lawyer though she was, this ardent feminist held that women's equality with men was a fundamental human right that need not watt on legislation.
