Wt tepector for the commi fumed the witness stand and Wenched quite a few of the claims made by Mr. Menden at the hearing @ week ago of gradual increasing @ervice, Mr. Shearn criticised the form of service reports in vogue, be- ween the traction companies and the eommission and told Comm O’Ryan, who was presiding, that the fraction companies’ reports of service fare cendered worthless for the com~ mission’s purposes, for the reason that the reports do not show rush hour and non-rush hour periods, but wather the traffic over the entire day without subdivisions. Later General Manager Menden explained, in answer to questions of Gen. O’Ryan, that the company was @perating forty-six trains in sixty minutes over the Williamsburgh Bridge and the only way to increase the traffic would be to substitute steel for wooden cars which would reduce the loading conditions 200 per cent, in the rush hours.

VETH ACQUTIED OF MURDERING HS FRIEND DOLE “Unwritten Law” Frees Man Whose Mother Was Threat- ened and Abused Over Loan, After two hour's deliberation, a jury this afternoon acquitted Carl Veith, thirty-seven, of No. 691 Wythe Ave- nue, of the charge of murdering Wil- Mam Doyle, by shooting him in front of No, 5 East Broadway, Manhattan, on April &, 1921. When he was dis- charged by Judge Mancuso in General ‘Sessions, Veith's sister, Mrs. Made- laine Mullen threw her arms about the acquitted man’s neck and promptly fainted. Veith and Doyle worked together in a tinfoil factory in Manhattan. Veith had often befriended Doyle and at last took him to live in the Brooklyn home. In Veith's absence Doyle came to the house drunk and demanded money of Veith’s mother. The latter, an aged woman, refused and Doyle beat her. ‘When Veith came home and learn- ed what had happened he got a re- volver and went looking for Doyle. He came upon him with two com- panions, all drunk, in East Broadway and shot him. (a i ee SHOULD TEACH CHILDREN THE USE OF MONEY “Place Them Let Them Live ATLANTIC CITY, May 4.—Mrs. ing to-day in the women's section of the third annual conference of the National Association of Mutual Savings Banks at the Hotel Ambassador, said that children must be taught the use of money before it Is°put into their hands. @he added that it would be necessary to make saving “fashionable before real progress could be made, sugge: ing that the aid of social leaders be en- Usted to this end. She declared that failure to teach children the way in which to uso money was responsible for thelr marital trowbles after they grow up. It was urged by her that children be placed ion money allowance and be held to it. Poueabieaa 4 Sat HOLDS MATERNITY LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL Massachusetts Attorney Says States’ Powers Are Usurped. BOSTON, May 4.—The ‘Towner act, providing for federal and state co-operation in promoting ma- ternity and infancy welfare and hy- geine, was declared to be unconstitu- tional in an opinion given the Legisla~ ture to-Ghy by Attorney General Allen. In his opinion, he said, Congress had exceeded its authority in that the legis- lation Involved police powers which réserved exclusively to the states. He suggested that Massachusetts test the validity of the act in the Supreme Court.

WANAMAKE QU AL THE MAYORS CMC COMMITTEES (Continued from First Page.) my resignation as Chairman of the Mayor's Committee on Permanent Me- morial, which action I assume dis- solves the entire committee appointed by me at your direction. For the same reason I also resign the Chairmanship of the other committees to which you have honored me by appointment.” In his letter Mr. Wanamaker gives a summary of the activities of the Memorial Committee as follows: “After the temporary arch was erected at 24th Street and Fifth Ave- nue and immediately following the glorious welcome which New York gave to her returning heroes, your committee proceeded actively to dis- cover what form of permanent me- morlal would be most acceptable to the people of our city. “From its inception, your commit- tee has sat in discharge of its duties as an impartial body, with @ mind open to consider all suggestions that came before It. “On Noy. 1, 1919, the committee authorized a public hearing, asking the. public and art and patriotic so- cieties to submit suggestions or plans in an open competition of ideas, The public hearing was held, the ideas were considered by a jury of artists, chosen by the committee, to select the meritorious proposals, but after six meetings of this jury, It was de- cided that no proposal was sufficient- ly meritorious to be recommended for adoption to the general committee, “A number of open meetings of the general committee were later held in an effort to arrive at @ crystalization of sentiment, but without result. ‘Your committee now has before it a recommendation from the Fine Arts Federation of New York for the re- arrangement of Madison Square and the erection thereon of a memorial to commemorate the patriotic activities which took place there during the war and after the armistice; also a suggestion from Victory Hall, Incor- porated, that this association merge with the Mayor's Committee. “Although certain political and per- sonal elements were injected into the situation, your committee feels that it has: been unable to complete its un. dertaking thus far, mainly because the sentiment of the people had not yet crystallized into practical form. “It is hoped now, with a new com- mittee and a united people back of you, that public sentiment and the press will work together to the ful- fillment of the duty which so deeply concerns the entire city—the erection of a suitable memorial to the brave men and women of the war, so many ot om made the supreme sacrifice. # financial statement of the committee has been audited by the Commissioner of Accounts, and the funds are in the hands of the City Chamberlain. . “On beha'f of the committee, and for myself personally, I thank you for the trust you saw fit to place in us, and I take the liberty of speaking for the individual members also, in saying that, in the future as in the past, we shall hold ourselves In readi- ness to co-operate with any move- ment that will be for the best inter. ests of the city and her people. “IT have the honor to remain “Very truly yours, “RODMAN WANAMAKER,”* Col, Woods, Chief of Staff of the Police Reserves, said tewiay that Mr. Wanamaker had not resigned and did not contemplate resigning as Special Deputy Police Commissioner, “1 was with Mr. Wanamaker on Tuesday evening when he left for Philadelphia, and I can safely say that he has no intention of resign. ing,” Col. Woods declared, Harding told the Washington corre- spondents emphatically that he wasn't taking part in primary contests any. where. The victory of former Sena- tor Albert Beveridge on Wednesday over Mr, Harding's personal friend and chum, Senator Harry New of Indiana, cannot therefore be con- strued as a repudiation of the Hard- ing Administration. Nor can the re- sult bf any primary contest involve the approval or disapproval of the Administration. That is the White House view be- fore and after the primaries. It cannot be denied that Mr. Hard- ing wanted Mr. New to win. He told John C. Shaffer, the Indiana pub- Nsher, that very thing a few weeks ago, He had no reason to fear the coming of Beveridge to the ‘Senate, but he didn’t want to sce New dis- placed. As for the people of Indiana, the view the Administration prefers to take of the contest is that the vote was moré an evidence of fondness for Beveridge than dislike of Harry New. Before the campaign gets fully under way, the influence of the Re- publican National Administration will be thrown to former Senator Bever- idge in the hope that he may triumph next November. Disaffection usually follows a primary fight in Indiana and the Democrats are counting upon the accession of many voters who supported Harry New and who would rather see a Democrat elected than nelp Beveridge. Like ail’ strong characters, Beveridge has foes who are opposed to him as intensely as his supporters are for him, On the assumption that Indiana is normally Republican and that the Harding Administration will be able to marshal the supporters of Harry New and that Mr. New himself may in the end take the stump for Bev- eridge, the speculation here is whether Beveridge . will become a supporters of the Harding policies or whether he will as of old join an in- dependent group and hammer away at the incumbent Administration. Mr. Beveridge has announced that he would support Mr. Harding if elected, Between now and next autumn he will have an opportunity to amplify that statement with a bill of particulars and the chances are the Harding Administration will then help Beveridge to the full ex- tent of its powers. ‘The Democrats, of course, are say- ing the defeat of New was a repudia- tion of the Harding Administration by the Republican voters of Indiana, ‘That's what the Republicans would say if a Democratic President were in power and an Administration sup- porter was beaten at the polls. In other words, politics demands such tactics, but disinterested observers will insist that the triumph was personal and that Mr. Beveridge who has been campaigning constantly for more than two years while Mr. New has been busy at Washington, managed to im- press his personality on the minds of the voters and thus won out. ‘The primary system always gives the advantage to the man on the out- side seeking the office who has all his time to devote to a campaign while the man in office must convince the voters that he ts performing his pub- lic duties and not spending his time electioneering. The primary system is hardly popu- lar in the Harding Administration. If the President could have his way to- morrow he would go back to conven- tion system at once. He said #0 be- fore the Indiana contest and believes it is at the root of our legislative troubles because it keeps members of Congress too busy listening to mur- murs of political discontent to heed the true voice of public opinion. What will become of Harry New? He may go in the Cabinet, though to be sure here the ding Adminis- tration will have a difficult problem to decide. Would it be good political strategy to appoint to the Cabinet a man who has been defeated by a majority of the Republican voters of his State? In the sense that the contest was personal and not based upon major issues, the Harding Administration might feel no hesitancy in appointing New to the Cabinet, belleving the peo- ple of Indiana would regard the ap- pointment with favor. In fact, sev- eral Beveridge supporters urged that New withdraw from the race some time ago and insisted Mr. Har- ding should appoint Cabinet. It is a fact that Harry New could have had a Cabinet position at the very beginning when he and Mr. Harding were in Florida together. He declined the offer, declaring he want- ed vindication in his home State in the primary fight of this year, He has failed in that effort, but the Ad- ministration does not consider his de- feat humiliating or politically signifi- cant. By the time Mr. New's term ex- pires next March there may be one or two vacancies ip the Cabinet. Harry New will probably be offered a port- folio before the present Administration goes out of power. te youl take Lesstive BROMO QUININE ‘when you feel the fire symptoms of a cold coming on—Advi, GOMPERS RESETS TREAT OF CURB BY LAW ON THE UNIS (Continued on Second Page.) between the head of the American Federation of Labor and Mr, Unter- myer. Mr. Gompers said Mr. Unter- myer was “putting untrue words" in the lips of a witness in saying Mr. Gompers assented to the delay. Mr. Gompers said the dimMculttes between unions of the building trades here could ‘be averted if the Building Employers’ Association would agree to abide’ by decisions of the National] life. Board of Jurisdictional Award—a body of the bullding department of the A. F. of L. which works in con- sultation with engineers, contractors and architects of national reputation. “Did the Building Trades Counei asked Mr. Untermyer, “make such a suggestion?” In the quarrel between plumbers and steamfitters which held up the $80,000,000 Hell Gate job, did the International Union refer the matter to the Jurisdictional Board?" I don't know,” said Mr. Gompers. ‘Then why blame the Employers’ Associatjon alone?" asked Mr. Unter- myer. Mr. Gompers replied, showing im- patience, that he knew what he was talking about, Witness and counsel then launched into a technical controversy as to the reason for the expulsion of the New York Plumbers’ Union by the Build- ing Trades Council. Mr. Gompers sald they were expelled for failing to make u preliminary report to the Council. Mr. Untermyer asked Mr. Gompers what would happen in the building trade if the A of ‘L forced the Building Trades Couneil to bar the Dioguardia laborers’ union with 15,000 members from the city and recognize, exclusively, the D'Allesandro union of 1,200 members, affiliated with the A, F. of L. Mr. Gompers said that by “pressure of moral suasion’’ the members of the big union would be forced to join the “authorized union’* and share in the benefits of the unity throughout the country of the workers in their trade, Mr. Untermyer asked why the American Federation of Labor could not take in the Dioguardia union, Mr. Gompers didn't know. “Will you commit the American Federation of Labor to admit them?” Mr. Untermyer asked. “T cannot commit the federation to anything," said Mr. Gompers. “Ah!” cried Mr, Untermyer umphantly, Mr. Gompers took up the matter of his lack of respect for the decisions of the courts in labor matters, He said that private detectives have been initiated into the membership of every union to stir up disputes on which the courts would have to pass if the unions were incorporated. These spies, he said, betrayed the union officials and would take the money side of such fights, so the courts must rule against them to the advantage of the employers, Mr. Untermyer opened to-day’s session by putting on the record re- marks regarding the reversal of the opinion of Justice Pooley of Buffalo, who declared unconstitutional the Donnelly act against monopoly in business, which was overturned by the Appellate Division. The case on which Justice Pooley ruled was that of a group of Buffalo building ma- terial men indicted as a result of the activities of the Lockwood committee. Mr. Untermyer called the ‘Pooley decision’ that extraordinary—or I am almost tempted to say—mendacious ruling.” He said Justice Pooley had ignored decisions of the Appellate Division in this district upholding the Donnelly act. Justice Pooley, Mr. Untermyer commented, had ‘held the papers three months" and ‘held up the prosecution of the grafting of Buffalo for eleven tri- mtermyer advised the commit- tee to'decline a request, recently re- ceived, to return to Buffalo. ‘The peo- ple there did not as a whole seem to realize what the committee had done for them. Buffalo Assemblymen, he said, had not been afraid to accept privete’retainers from insurance com- panies and other interested parties and then fight the committee in the Legis- lature, Mr. Untermyer told Assem- blyman Caufield, who questioned the charge that proofs would be laid before the committee in time, Before examining Mr, Gompers, Mr. Untermyer read all of his correspond- ence with the Jabor leader since March, in which Mr. Gompers was asked to prepare to comment on arbi- trary union customs and traditions, on State workmen's compensation funds and on the Incorporation of unions 80 they could be held respon- sible by the courts for illegal and un- fair actions, “Labor is not a commodity and it would be unjust to impose on it the will of such a body.” ‘What is a successful business man in your opinion?" Mr. Gompers was asked. “Que who can supply the material the plant and the plans—and the $200,000 VERDICT TO SPORTING EDITOR Police Gazette Must Pay ‘That Sum for Breach of Life Contraet. A sealed verdict for $200,000 was awarded to William A, Rafter, sport- ing editor of the Brooklyn Standard Union, to-day by a jury before Su- preme Court Justice Lewis L. Faw- cett in Brooklyn, following a two weeks’ trial. Rafter sued the Fox Publishing Company, publisherg of the Police Gazette. Rafter produced in court a contract by which the publishing company agreed to pay him $500 a week for He said he held the position for two years, during which the company paid him a bonus of $15,000 each year in addition to the salary, He brought an action for $600,000, based on his expectation of life. He reached the tigure by adding twenty-eight years to his present age of forty-three year The question of a life contract he- ing against public policy was raised in the trial, but the jury apparently, decided that it 1s not. Rafter was represented by former Assistant District Attorney, Albert Conway of Kings County. The verdict 1s said to be one of the largest ever given in a civil sult in Brooklyn. ‘ It is expected that an appeal will be taken. ie GANDY ‘Trade Mare Advt. on page 15: Beginning Next.
