IN Tee Possible to Digest All Depart- ment Reports and Attend to Other Duties, Says Candi- date, Who Is Deliberate in Detining Attitude Toward Some Municipal Problems, but Finishes Within Time Limit. By Martin Green. Borough President Henry H. Cur- ran just got under the wire in @ three-minute hot weather interview at his headquarters in the Hotel Her- mitage yesterday afternoon. The first question was asked at 4.30 o'clock, and the last of the fifteen questions at 4.33. Major Curran is not a hair-trigger talker, He dresses his conversation with thought. When he expresses an opinion it is the result of a mental process, not a mere utterance of words. Also the major is running for of- fice.

No. 6—If the growth of the city continues and the centres of popula- tion continue to shift. will it ever be possible to give every New York child # seat in school for a {ull school ses- sion? Mr. Curran (without delay, but ut- tered with great deliberation)—V can get much nearer to it than we are to-day. Energy, foresight and team work would-meet most of the trouble We are away behind now. Q. No. 7—Would it not be possible for the City Government to promote and encourage the building of homes in the vast open spaces of the outiy- ing boroughs? Mr. Curran (right off the reel, as it were, indicating that the candidate has given some study to the housing question)—Yes; by bending all its energy toward a development of the city that will enable people to live near their work and work near their tomes. Q. No, 8—What should be the first effective step in that direction—in ad- of necessity, be somewhat careful in a discussion of public matters. But Major Curran did not balk when asked to submit to a rapid fire inter- view. The only condition he made was that if any question involved @ matter that he was not familiar with he would refuse to answer. But he proved to be familiar with all mat- ters touched upon but one—and what that one was will appear in the} course of this article. No fewer than 100 persons were waiting to see him when we started the interview. The hadquartrs was jammed with people although the primary campaign has been under way but a short time. There were several women in the crowd who had| advice or suggestions to offer. Num-| erous telephone calls gave evidence, that the Major is In demand at meet- | ings of Republican organizations. — | Secretary of State John J. Lyons, manager ef the Curran campaign. and John Tyrone Kelly, who attends to the Curran publicity, acted as) timekcepers. It was Mr. Lyons who started us off at 4.30 to the second. FIRST MINUTE One Answer Behind Schedule, But Says Much Worth While. Q. No. 1—Would it be possible by Charter amendment to consolidate all five Borough Presidents’ bureaus under one executive head? Mr. Curran—(After a pause for consideration)—Yes, but also inadvis. able, The borough government system should not only be retained but en- larged. In many city government matters a man or woman ought to be able to have them attended to in the borough where he or she lives. Q. No, 2—What is the Sinking Fund of the City of New York? Mr. Curran—(After more considera- tion)—There are a number of sinking funds, Any city sinking fund Is the accumulation of moneys required for the payment of the city's obligations at maturity. Q. No. 3—Is it possible for the Mayor of New York to read and di- gest all the reports made to him by departments and bureaus and also attend to his other duties? Mr, Curran—(The Major gave five seconds of concentration to this one; then, with a smilo)—I think so— provided he has the requisite mental equipment. Q, No. 4—Are you in favor of the proposition to erect a great city war memorial? Mr, Curran—(Without hesitation)— No, I am not. The first thing wo should do is to take proper care of the soldier who is disabled or out of a job. We were moving slowly but surely. Mr, Lyons and Mr, Kelly kept their eyes on the clock and announced that one minute had slipped by. SECOND MINUTE.

Mr. Curran (unhesitatingly) — A more intelligent laying out of new transit routes. Q. No, 9—Which is the more re- sponsible for the condition of the sub- way corporations, the 5-cent fare or bad financiering? | Mr, Curran—Bad financiering. Q. No. 10—Docs military training add to the qualifications of a public executive? Mr. Curran (from one who saw ser- | vice in a most exacting and hazardous, branch, the delivery of ammunition at | the front)—Yes, it teaches a man to} command and to obey and to keep his| mouth shut. “Two minutes,” announced the | timekeepers in chorus. We were two-thirds of the way through and| the remainder of the interview was conducted e: ly because the Major had his answers ready as soon as they were put—cacept in one in- stance, THIRD MINUTE. Finishes Within Limit .s He As sa Question Himself. Q. No. 11—Are you ‘n favor of a constitutional amendment giving the city a fair proportion of representa- tion in the Legislature? Mr. Curran—Yes, the sooner the better. Q. No. 12—Will New York ever have @ female Mayor? Mr. Curran—As soon as the volers wo decree. No. 13—Was the war responsible to any great degree for the increase in the city’s expense since 19187 Mr. Curran—Yes, to a considerable degree. @. No. 14—Will you, if elected, seek to bring about the speedy restoration of the beaches of the city to the use of all the people” Mr. Curran--As speedily as city’s finances w |) permit. Q. No. 15—Hlu. do you stand on the bobbed hair question? Mr. Curran (after the Major had glanced in manifest astonishment at the interviewer and the timekeepers) Say, what is this bobbed hair ques- tion? This answer completed the inter the view in three minutes, and it was quite plain that the controversy over whether women should or should not bob their hair has passed over the head of Henry H. Curran, aoe Criminal Libel Indictment Dts- minned. Judge Nott in © to- day sustained a demurrer to an indict- ment for criminal libel against William (. Moore, a market letter publisher of No, 62 Broadway, who is allexed to have criminally libelled the Mexican Petroleum Company as a corporation. This dismisses that indictment. At th same time Judge Nott overruled a de urrer to a second indictment against cates He's Studied Problems. @. No, 5—To what extent is the rapid growth of the city responsible fore, Which charges him with having criminally libelied Edward L, Doheny, President of the Mexican Petroleum Company. Judge Nott held that the language employed by Moore did not constitute a criminal libel against the corporation, but that it was for a jury to say whether or not he criminally libelled Doheny as an individual, ’ ge weer Ss DAY, SEPTEMBE R 2, 1921. | tor, 108 W. 116th Street, who charges that | Fitting in WOES OF NURSES TOLD IN COURT eclioca Police Inspector, Accused of Persecution, Denies He Is Owner. that methods could net Declaring “strong be arm tolerated by decision on the application lessee of two apartments at No. Police Inspector John D owner would She asks | persecution because she consent to a raise in rent from interfering with Martin instructed the her, attorneys to UNION ARGUMENTS AGAINST VOTING MACHINES HEARD Jamestown Contractor De fends Them Against Print- | ers and Machinists. of al Objections to the awardin contract for 350 voting machines to] ve used in the November election sere madq to-day to the Bourd of Blections at a meeting in the office of President John R, Voorhis, at which| the contract was to have been closed. | The objectors represented printers’ | unions, and their claim was that t Machine Y,, low bidder] Auto Registering Corpora- tion of Jamestown, > non-union | for the contract, was a | shop.
