They have not apparently dered the iden of Making the terms of such franc favorable to the city The Board of Estimates con: hise demand yben Gov. Miller amounts to 4 re- quest that he ask the Legislature to authorize the municipal ownership of bus lines. The situation as it exists js mude clear by the following state- ment'issued by Chairman McAnen: "It is clearly the duty of the p authorities, both the Board of Es mate and the Transit Commission, to take whatever steps are necessar and at once, to preserve every one of the bus lines affected by Justice Mul Jan's injunction, that heve become publicly necessary, and that ought to be kept goin. There is, however, no ed for any further legislation sto the courts to purpose, With the been a question of courts it has not whether the lines are needed or not or whether they help to relieve the resent congeested transit situation It has been purely a question as to whether the requirements of law governing all city transportation uses included, shall be met an. obeyed. “Bection 1458 of the City Charter rbids the operation of any stage ute in the city except under a fran chise lawfully granted, as follows ‘No stage or omnibus route or routes for public use, or any alter ation or extension of any existin stage or omnibus route, it hereafter be put in operation in or upon any street, avenue, park, parkway, bridge or public ground within the City of New York un til and unless a franchise or right therefore shall be obtained from the Board of Estimate and Appor tionment in like manner as, and subject to the limitations and con ditions relating to, franchises or rights in this charter provided and imposec “After a franchise for a stage route Goveruor, Let ihe newspapers ask (Continued on Se HYLAN REALLY 10 BLAME EDITORS WENO | MINSTER ACUSED Inquiry Started After Auto Crash Involving Policeman Believed Off His Beat.

Siefert, according to complaints made to In- spector Kelly, was vociferous and abusive—so much so that some one in the crowd telephoned to a police booth at 25th Street and Jackson Ave nue and summoned Policeman Wolub.

People More Interested in That Than in Solution of the Mystery. Discussion of the strange succes- sion of blunders, omissions and sheer stupidity in the conduct of the tnves- tigation of the murder of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and lire. Eleanor Mills has become more tn- tense and more heated in the homes and on the streets of New Brunewick than the solution of the murder itself or the gossip gbout the relations be- tween the clergyman and the cholr singer. ‘The attitude of the Prosecutor of Middlesex County, 1n which the Rev. Mr. Hall and Mrs, Mills lived heir daily lives, and of the Prosecutor of Somerset County, over whose border the bodies were found, is variously ascribed to conservative wisdom, to overcaution, to fear of criticism by “the best people” of Dr, Hall’s on- gregation, to political unwillingness to offend anybody who might vote against the present Administration of Middlesex or Somerset Countics at the coming election. ‘The long list of the strange incldenta in the investigations began with the finding of the bodies by the Bel:mer girl and her boy companion. —When they called a policeman from over the city line and showed him the bodies, the pair said they had been looking for mushrooms. This was a direct indication of their untruthfulness ag to anything they might have observed while lurking about the farm and the park the night before—mushrooms do not, and have never, grown in that neighbor hood. Their word was not questioned for three days. Q—The policeman stopped Dr. EB. 1 Loblein, a veterinary known throughout two counties for his shrewd powers of observation, and asked him to go up and loolt af the bodies. Dr. Loblein was apparently persuaded not to make known what he saw and thought.
