Commissioner of Accounts David Hirshfield reopenéd to-day his inves- tigation of the Bureau ef Standards and Appeals, which was originally Ps started in 1918, seontinued when John P. Leo was appointed chairman and taken up again recently following the resignation of Mr. Leo from the office of Street Cleaning Commission- et, to which he was appointed a year ago from the Bureau of Standards and Appeals. Recently Mr. Leo ob- tained a summons calling wpon Com- missioner Hirshfield to appear in Washington Heights Police Court on Deo. 12 to answer to a charge of criminal libel. The Board of Standards and Ap- peals is a reviewing body to which wppeals can be taken by builders and architects who have been forbidden by the Borough Superintendent of Bulid- ings or the Hire Department to erect certain classes of commercial build- ihgs—generally garages—in restricted or residential districts. It also has power to regulate and enforce the mming law and establishes the stand- ara for fixtures, appliances and ma- terials to ibe used in construction in Greater New York. Mr. Hirshfield’s investigation ap- pears to be directed against the ad- «Ministration of Mr. Leo. Witnesses testified to-day to rulings made by the Board under Mr. Leo, which, they claimed were prejudicial to the inter- ests of property owners who had ob- tained rulings against the erection of { objectionable buildings from the Fire ) Department. ‘Testimony was show that certain architects, notably Frank J. Schefcik, Peter Joseph Mc- given to ee et LOFCES RENT REE | ys . peared to make a special business arguing appeals before the board during the administration of Mr. Leo and won the majority of their ap- peals. Schefcik, according to tie testimony of Samuel Richman, one of Mr. Hirshfield’s accountante, ap- peared no less than forty times be- fore the board while Mr. Leo was President and rarely lost an appeal. Schefctk was sworn. He said that Mr. Leo was a friend and while Chairman of the Board gave him of- fices ront free. His fees, he said, totalled about $10,000, ranging from $2,000, the largest, down to $50, and averaging about $400. when he ob- tained permission for the erection of garages in residential districts. The hearing was adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning and all the witnesses who testified to-day were ordered to be present. plant + AL chst LOOKS LIKE HARDING; GETS CHEERS AT PIER meni nati EET. - oie A nasty MBE AOLRE a gemma Likeness Proves to Be Another Ohioan Bound for Esypt. Just before the Caronia left her piece this afternoon a distinguished looking man near the rail was bailed as President Harding. The rumor quickly spread that the President, breaking away from affairs of state, had come to town incognito to sec some friends who were sailing. Somebody started the haridclap- ping. Then there were cheers. And it took a few minutes to explain that the gentleman was not the President, but Dr. J. Mortimer Howell of Day- ton, O., bound for Egypt, where he is to succeed Carroll Sprague, also of Dayton, as Consul General. Even after the ship had sailed there were some still ready to swear they had seen the President of the United States. EO N. Y. POLICEMAN HELD IN YONKERS CAFE ROW Magistrate Denies Detective Has Rights Above, Citizen's, Harry Marks, a New York police de- tective, and John J. Walsh, a taxicab chauffeur of Yonkers, were held in $1,000 ball each by City Judge Bleakley of Yonkers to-day on charges of assault In the second degree. Early Sunday, Marks with two girls went to Shanley’s restaurant in Yonkers gnd got into a fight with Walsh, injuring his head and fracturing his left arm. Marks alleged Walsh threatened him with a bottle. “I know of no law.’ sald Judge Bleak- ley, “which gives a New York policeman any more rights than a citizen outside his own jurisdiction. It appears Marks used excessive force after he had dis- rmed Walsh.” Cann and Samuel _ Rosenberg ap- At 5th Ave. Store Men’s Shoes in the i smart styles that par- ticulgr men choose— $7.85 $9.85 * $8.85 $10.85 ' Originally $10 to $16 Women’s Slippers and Low Shoes.
