J \ PLNING UP. CHANGES ~-INBILDELAYED Amendments Held Back and No One Seems to Know Governor’s Plans. \ 1 HEARING TO-MORROW. Senate Gets Resolution Con- demning Action of Judge Mayer in Craig Case.

Bvidently there has been another hitch on the proposition to amend the Dill so that it will not give the Rapid Transit Commission power t increase fares until the Governor's Drogramme has been carricd out. It was asserted last weck by Chair- “than Knight and by Majority Leader Lusk of the Senate and Speaker Machold of the Ausembly that the Amendment would go into the bill Jast night But sitice then Gov.

UP-STATE BOARD. the legislators handiing the bill said. The result has been that the legisla- tora are slowing up td fil out where they are at, In view of this fact it makés the resolution ofthe New York State Association of Real Estate Boards, adopted at Utica on last Saturday indorsing the Governor's bill, look rather ridiculous, If that body knew what it was indorsing, no- pedy in the Legislature up to date knows. Another amendment prom- | sed for the bill is one giving the ame regulatory powers to the State. wide Public Service Commission as{ those with which the Rapid Transit Commission will be invested in case becomes a law and permitting Following the amendments the Traction Bil! will be sent to the printer, and it avill he a close call to get it back again fn time to permit the friends gnd foes of it to digest it before arguments start on the meas- ure. The hearing will be before the Pub- Me Service Committee of the Senate, of which John Knight of Wyoming County is Chairman, and the Assem bly Judiciary Committee, of which Louls Martin of Oneida is Chairma Mr. Martin was a co-author of the Carson-Martin bill which was paased | by the Assembly in 1919 and defeated4 in the Senate when the announce- ment was made that a fund of $500,- 000 had been raised to secure its passage. Quite a stir was created in the Senate last night by the introduction of a resolution condemnins the action of Federal Judge Julius M, Mayer in sentencing Comptroller Charles 1. Craig of New York City to sixty days n jail for contempt, of court for his emarks in relation to the receiver- chip of the B. R. T. DENOUNCES MAYER’S ACTION IN CRAIG CASE, Senator Bernard Downing intro- duced the resolution and spoke at some length on it, as did Senator Katlin, while Senator Duell of West- chestcr spoke for the jurist. ‘The| resolution was referred to the Judicl- ary Committee, of witch Senator Burlingame is Chairman, Three weeks ago Senator Burlingame, in odnnection with the B, RT, receiver- p, alluded to Judge Mayer as a Caar. Downing contrasted the sentencing of Craig to a Jersey penitentiary, where no meeting of the Board of Bstimate could be held, with the treatment accorded Dr, William T, Soheele, sentenced last Friday by Mayer to only one day in jail. He myphasized that Scheele, whose name did not mention, had been con- vited of having conspired against America during the war and had planned to blow up ammunition plants. "phe sentencing of Craig, in view ot thls,"" maintained Downing, “is a dis- grace and a rebuke to all of us as Americans.” He added that “there never was a really great man who did not welcome criticism, and only a small man resents it.” “There may be a opinion,” remarked Downing, “as to the kind of Comptroller Charles L. Craig has been; but not a man, woman or child in New York City questions his honesty, sincerity and integrity. In the discharge of his duty he had known no party or clique and he has called into the service of the city the best assistants obtainable, “Craig did not wrile the letter as individual, lJeen,” the Senator exclaimed, “but an officer of the New York City | dffference of seeking to vent a petty | NO; One will venture to say what the|derly conduct and had threatened a provisions of the bill hold for the | police officer, The conviction was upon charges Say that the city will be shorn of all|the Alderman had driven an automo- Dower over its transit lines and that|nile at Fairview Avenue and Palmetto Street, Ridgewood, Queens, while in- toxieated.

(Special to The Evening World.) ‘i SYRACUSE, March 1, RS. RUTH CRAWFORD of Warner, left widow with a $35,000 estate, came to Syracuse in the spring of 1918 ‘and at the suggestion of Dr. William D. Towsley, her cousin, bought the home, No. 307 Emma Street, adjoining that of the physician, Mrs. Crawford, taken ill in September, 1918, was taken to the Homeopathic Hospital, suffering, she told friends, with pernicioius anaemia. ‘Two weeks later taken to home of Dr. Towsley, attending physi- clan, with arrangements made for Mrs. Alice T, Lattimer, the physi- cian's daughter, a professional nurse, to care for her. In the months that followed friends called at the Towsley house, where Mrs. Crawford remained until May, 1920, but claim they were denied admittance. In December, 1918, the transfer of the deed to the Emma Street house from Mrs, Crawford to Mra. Alice T. Lattimer was recorded, and Mrs. Crawford in May, 1920, was moved to that address, where she continued under the care of Mrs. Lattimer. A quarrel was revealed between Dr. Towsley and Mrs, Lattimer owing to a suit by the doctor for his services. Mrs, Lattimer appeared in the suit, showing a power of attorney from Mrs. Crawford. Mean- time friends were denied admittance to Mrs, Crawford's home. On. Dec, 23, 1920, Mrs. Lattimer left for Chicago and the South, after arranging with an undertaker to bury Mrs, Crawford, who, she said, might die In her absence. On Jan. 23, 1921, Mrs, William D. Cooley succeeded in an attempt to see Mrs. Crawford, and said the woman appealed to be taken out of the house. She told of seeing straps on the bed. The Rev. Almon A. Jaynes called to give communion to Mrs. Crawford.on Feb. 22, He learned the story of her close confinement and reported it to the police. Detectives were sent to the house and a photograph of Mra. Orawford in bed was taken, showing heavy straps across the coverlet. Statements were procured from Mrs. Crawford, Mrs. Shoemaker and Mrs. Cora Lamson. A bottle of medicine was seized and analyzed. It revealed chloral hydrate. Chief of Police Caldine then ordered Mrs. Lattimer’s arrest.

We have daily evidence of the need of a Service House from the letters which pour in from the boys, from the*hungry, foot-sore lads who throng my office, and from applicants at the American Legion Posts, All, all polnt to the immediate crying need of a place for these boys to go, ‘They are homeless, starving, penniless. ‘The money is pouring in, but not fast enough to suit me. Send {t faster. At 11 o'clock Saturday night I went to Chalif's to see the Girl Marines at their dance, It requires nerve to in- terrupt a dance, but Miss Sawyer did it, She introduced me and in five minutes I had told them the need of a Service House where these wounded boys may go when they come out of hospitals to take their vocatitnal training. I told them the boys needed a home, not a cafeteria, where you carry food on a tray and pay for what you get! But @ home, with a bureau which they may éall their own.

Yet I am told that a 5en- ator haw actually stated in his public speeches that he is against any action in favor of ex-service men.
