HYLAN DESCRIBES |Bucolic Fun and Metropolitan Amusement 'ANENY TRANSIT |Yotre Hands in a New York Society Street Fair VIEWS AS STUPID Blames Him Directly for the Increased Costs Due to Delay on Contracts. ‘A PIBCE OF DISHON sry’ Insists That City’s Plan for New Subways Insures a Five-Cent Fare. Mayor Hylan iskued the following statement to-day in reply to Transit Commission Chairman McAneny’s criticism of the City Mxecutive's at- tack om the new subway plan: “The McAneny commission state ment on the new bids on subway con tracts is a characteristic piece of dis honesty. On the eight contracts which the commission Board of Estimate to readvertise saving is $34,350, Mvidently the com mission is indifferent to these savings because it is city money and not their own, “Was the commission interested in favoring particular contractors in 1 sisting in not readvértising? Any per son or body with even a slight degree of business judgment would have ve advertised for bids without waiting to the the was forced by he forced to do so. The McAneny commission refused to do this until compelied by us. “Their attempt in public print to nullify the saving thus obtained by setting off against it alleged {ntercst items on the total investment in the entire subway is sheer nonsense and humbug. These interest charges would rin whether the contracts were advertised six months ago, to day or at any time in the future, and they have no relation to the price proposed to be paid for the work in- volved in the contracts readvertised Yo one knows this better than Mc- Aneny himself. He knows, for in- stance, that the readvertising of a «x weeks’ delivery tie plate con- tract occasions no delay when there s an outstanding and uncompleted three months’ delivery timber con- tract, to which timber the tie plates must be attached. Such delay as accrues, if any, as a matter of final completion of the entire job, is due solely to the stupidity of the com- mission In not acting upon what was common knowledge, that prices had fallen and that new bids were there- fore in order. “The McAneny commission state- ment furnishes a true index of the degree of candor and honesty that may be expected from it in its deal- ings with the transit situation, ‘The true inwardness of their unification pian and of their suggestions for sub- ways was made known by us. The degree of honesty of their comment on our proposed new construction and transit operation programme may be Judged accordingly. Our new pan, ‘as the McAneny commission well knows, insures a five-cent fare on all sub- ways and will not involve any double tare, This will become even more apparent when details are formally announced. Likewise, it will termi- nate, in part at least, the conse- quences of the McAneny folly and improvidence of 1913, embodied in the dual contracts and which the Me- Aneny “unification? scheme and sug- gested new construction is designed to extend and perpetuate in even more gross form. Tne city will be saved by the Board of Estimate from another such costly McAneny blunder in tran- sit affairs. If Mr, McAneny thinks otherwise he can come before the Board of Estimate and give his views on the city’s plan when it is an- nounced," ———— MAKES PLEA TO COURT AFTER DIVORCE FAILURE Matden Lane Jeweler Appeals State's Intention of Appealing. William Charles Schwenk, Maiden Lane jeweler, No. East 168th Street, the Bronx, who tried unsuc- cessfully twice, in the Bronx Supreme Court, to divorce his wife, Emily BE.

Four Blocks of Park Avenue to Be Gorgeous Scene of Gala Charity Benefit. The central plaza of four blocks of Park Avenue, all now in gala trap- pings, have been set aside for the Street Fair held in behalf of the As- sociation for the Aid of Crippled Chil- dren, which opened at 2 o'clock this afternoon. This space, northward from 46th Street, has been trans- formed into a playground whereon ‘he simplicity of the county fair strikes hands with the sophistication of met- ropolitan entertainment. Incidentally, many of the most prominent persons in New York society are conducting the enterprise. A short time before the gates of the fair were swung open the association received the following telegram of cheer from Vice President Coolidge: “Charity can be invoked in no better cause than in the aid of crippled children, If their need and thelr helplessness be known there will be no lack of suitable response. Without the success of efforts in their behalf there cannot be a success in Amer- ican clvilization,’ From 46th to 60th Street fences have been erected to inclose the fair grounds and poles and banners and lights and other embellishments ha been provided to effect a complete transformation of the neighborhood. Each of the four blocks has individual features, but all blend in a harmony of color und arrangement. The southernmost block is given over to the Luna Park Circus, do- nated for the fair. Here will be found all that endeared the big top to the juvenile mind. There will be twenty clowns in merry attendance with the not-to-be-overlooked pink lemonade and peanuts; also, the toy balloons. Trapeze performers and acrobats, trained animals and jugglers will go through their performances just ts if the show were “on the lot.” It has been said that a number of young so- clety woman would ride in the ring and do equestrian acts practised for the occasion. Mrs, Lyttleton Fox is Chairman of the Circus Committee and among those associated with her are Mrs. Mortimer Schiff, Mrs. Hor- atio Shonnard, Mrs. Jerome Bona- parte, Mrs. William Thaw, Mrs, John Cc. Waterbury, Mrs. Julian Gerard, Mrs. Sidney Colford and Mrs. Rawson Wood, On the next northward block is the theatre, under the management of Mrs, Lydig Hoyt, which will present programmes afternoons and evenings during the fair, Here also the cigarette booth in charge of Miss Pauline Robinson, the hat booth, con- ducted by Mrs, Charles G. Childs jr.; china and glassware, by Mrs, George White; fancy household articles, by Mrs, Robert Waller; pottery, by Mrs. Knight D. Cheney; the dolls’ fashion show, Mrs. H.

Bruno is of Italian descent, but he added a mustache and imperial to his makeup, which was the last word in Italian male finery Both agents went to the restaurant accompanied by a young, woman, but entered at different times and took seats some distance apart. When Bruno came in, Callaghan, already seated, began to look reminiscently ' his direction, He was not long in at- tracting the attention of other diners. Suddenly he leaped from his chair and ran to Bruno's side “Ah, my dear Count, so it is you, aft 1 these years!'' he exclaimed, (He learned this by rote from Bruno.) Bruno was on his feet in an instant and a moment later folded Callaghan to his heaving breast and kissed him Then he broke into 4“ torrent of Italian delight at such a on both cheeks MR Ra ReNce 1) || ar STOKES'S ANSON WORTH $6,500,000, His Counsel Tries to Show He ls “Property Poor” in Wife’s Alimony Suit.
