Public Service Chairman Points Out "Exception" on Approval of Franchises Chairman Wlllcox of the Public Service Commission today contradicted the assertions matin yesterday by Mayor Gaynor, in his letter to Corporation Counsel Watson, that sections 74 and 242 of the present charter required his approval of every form ot franchise grant. Mr.

Wlllcox declares that the commission never conceded that the Mayor had this power, and adds that he and his i associates have been advised by counsel that the Mayor has no veto power over rapid transit franchises or contracts. The following are the powers the Mayor haB under the charter anil the rapid tran- sit act, according to the advice glveu Chairman Wlllcox by counsel to the com- mission: 1. He has a separate right ot approval over ordinary charter franchises, such as f. thoso for street surface railroads and ga and electric mains and wires. 2.

He has a separate light to consent or refuse to consent to rapid transit routes adopted by the Commission; but 3. He lias absolutely no separate right of approval or disapproval over rapid -transit franchises or contracts. Mr. Wlllcox also declares that the Mayor, Instead of basing any claim upon the rapid transit act, which Is complete In and of Itself, bases his claim to this power upon sections 242 and 74 of the present charter; that the portion of Sec- tlon 242 of the present charter, relating 4' to tho approval by the Board of Estimate and the Mayor's separate approval of contracts, contains an express proviso, excepting "cases where franchises, rights or contracts shall bn granted or author- Ized pursuant to thp rapid transit that, so far( as Section 74 Is Z. the Mayor has failed to note the excep- tlon contained In Section 73.

Section 74, says Mr. Wlllcox, Is part i of Title I of Chapter 3 of the Charter, which title Includes sections 71 to 77, inclusive, and Section 73 provideB that "nor shall anything In this section or this title contained apply to grants made pursuant to the rapid transit act."

TO CONSIDER PARK PROJECTS, Pate of Rockaway and Queens Playgrounds May Be Settled. Tbe Board of Estimate tomorrow will consider two municipal park projects. One is the proposed seaside park at Rockaway Beach which has already been under consideration and which will probably be disposed of tomorrow, and the other is the laying out a park along the Queens shore of the East River, opposite Ninety-ninth street, Manhattan. Fifty-eight acres is the area of Queens property which Is owned by the EaBt River Land Company. A proceeding was begun In J90B for the acquisition of the property, but It was abandoned in 1907.

The land Is assessed at $290,000. At th3 time of the original proceeding the owners presented claims for damages amounting to $1,000,000 and secured an award of $17,949. Chief Engineer Lewis of the Board of Estimate recommends that the property be acquired provided the property owners are willing to assume 40 cent, of the cost, the rest to be assessed on Queens Borough, and provided also that the owners waive all rights to damages. In the Seaside Park project the board will act on the recommendation of Controller Prendergast that the city retaia the option given It by the Neponslt Realty Company offering the tract of 262 acres for $1,225,000.

CHOKES AGED MOTHER Maniac Also Attacks His Sister, After Stealing In Upon Them. Mrs.

Mary Kratzer, who Is 76 years old, and her daughter Mary, were both attacked at 6 o'clock this morning In their bedroom on the second floor of 58 Morgan avenue by George Kratzer, 56 years old, son of Mrs. Kratzer, who last Monday evening escaped from the In sane Asylum at Central Isllp, L. I. He came home early today, and, walking through the hallway of the house Into the back yard, climbed up to his moth er's window on the fire escape. The noise awakened the two women, and seeing the man enter in faint llgnt of tbe breaking day, they first took him to be a burglar.

Both started to scream for help, but with a bound the man was upon them, and, grabbing the aged mother by the throat, he was able to silence her. The sister, however, kept up her cries of terror, and letting go of the mother, the man attacked the sister, The two rolled over on the floor while the mother was lying helpless on the bed. The shouts of the two women awakened the other tenants of the building and Patrolman O'Donnell of the Stagg street station was called. There were tenants at nearly every window, calling for help, when the officer arrived. He located the Kratzer apartment and when he etfterod the man was still grappling with his sis ter.

Kratzer is a big man and strong and O'Donnell found be had his hands full, but other policemen had been attracted by the uproar, and with their aid Krat zer was subdued. The reserves from the Stagg street station were called, and, securely tied with a stout rope, the maniac was taken In the patrol wagon to the station house and later to the Manhat tan avenue court, where he was temporarily committed to the Kings Park Insane Asylum until taken back to Central Isllp. Kratzer was first sent away nine years ago, and this Is the second time he has made his escape. On January 15, 1909, he came back to Brooklyn, but was captured and sent back before ha could do any. damage.

He seems to be suffering irom a aeiusion that a band of cut throats are on his trail all the time and he believes that his mother and otner memDers or the family are Informing these men as to bis whereabouts.

APPEAL OF JUTE MEN. Order for New Tariff B-uling Apparently Not Regarded Favorably. Eagle Bureau. Fourteenth Street.

Washington, September 20 Representatives of American manufacturers of jute for use chleflyln the shipment of cotton and other articles, have just concluded one of several conferences held with the customs division of the Treasury Department to try to secure an order assessing 45 per cent, ad valorem instead of the lower rate of six-tenths of 1 cent per square yard, the duties on so-called cotton bagging made of jute waste. Apparently the last conference has been as fruitless as the first in its effort to cause the department to recede from its position that jute bagging is Jute bagging, whether made from Jute waste or the fresh fiber. The manufacturers, who Include several plants In Brooklyn, contend that they suffer from the competition, of which the tariff act does not take proper cognizance and that the buyers of raw cotton also are inadvertent victims of the same unfortunate law. Their complaint 1b directed against the class of bagging made up originally to contain wheat and other articles requiring a strong jute bag, which, when used until worthless for Its original purpose, then becomes waste and Is made over into cotton bagging. The Treasury Department recognizes this material is flimsy stuff, possessing little or no strength, and that the cotton mills are compelled to accept some thirteen pounds of it to the bale and pay cotton prices thereon.

Nevertheless, the department cannot see its way clear to regard this second-hand fabric as other than "jute bagging." REFEREES APPOINTED. McNery vs. McN'ary, William A. Moore. My-gatt vs.

Whole Army Is Under Arms and Jroops Are Stationed at Chief Points in Madrid. NO GENERAL STRIKE YET. Strict Measures by Government Prevents Walkout Sale of Munitions Stopped. Madrid. September 20 The Government, acting under the Imperial decree of yesterday, suspending the constitutional guarantees because of.

revolutionary activity, has ordered the arrest of work-Ingmen's committees and political agitators In the disturbed districts. Three hundred persons were Imprisoned in this city last night. Among those arrested here was Senor Largo Caballero, general counsel for and vice president of the General Union of Labor. His offices were. closed.

The general, strike In this city called for today was prevented by the action of the authorities, and the railways were running as usual. Thirty thousand men In ths buildings trades received an order this afternoon to strike, and It is believed that they may go out. The military is taking extreme precautions. Detachments of troops are stationed at the principal points ot the city, at railway stations, public buildings, schools, convents and markets. The military has taken into its keeping arms and munitions of every description which were on sale.

Complete quiet reigned at the capital today. Similar' military measures have been taken In other cities. The whole army Is under arms. The soldiers are doing police duty. Arrests were made during the night In several provincial cities.

At Barcelona, 158 persons were apprehended and many were taken Into custody at Bilbao, Seville, Valencia and Saragossa. Dispatches from these places say that they are quiet today. There have been some disorders in small Industrial centers. The revolutionaries apparently are still In possession of Jatlva, toward which troops are marching from Valencia. At and Cargagente rioters set fire to the public buildings and.

tore up the railway tracks. There has been trouble at Amurrto. Gljon, Septonibor 20 The workingmen's committee outwitted the military, and, meeting secretly last night, planned a general strike. They sent agents into all workshops and factories early this morning and the strike became general. Tbe garrison here Is small, and the authori ties have asked for more troops with which to deal with tbe situation.

Bilbao, September 20 Tbe situation here appears to be normal today. The rioting has ceased and the restaurants have reopened. Seventy-five arrests have been made. Cordova, September 50 A general strike In the province of Cordova was deolded upon today. This will affect the extensive coal mines at Belmez and Penarroya.

SCALLOP PRICES SOAR. Buyers at East End Are Faying $2.50 Per Gallon. (Special to The Eagle.) Greenport, L. September 20 Scal lops still continue to be scarce, only from two to four gallons per boat being taken In a day. It has been the hope of bay-men, since the opening of the season on September 1, that beds with sufficient of the bivalves upon them to yield a good catch would be found, but to date they have met with little success.

This Industry usually yields In this port and adjoining places a good Income for hundreds of baymen, and a poor scallop season will be keenly felt by those whose source of revenue is dependent upon it. The scarclry of the scallops has caused the price to soar until now the buyers here are glad to pay $2.50 per gallon to get enough to supply their regular cus tomers. Some of the baymen still think that after the usual fall gales the seagrass upon some of the bays may be carried away, which will reveal scallops until then obscure. One shipper last year purchased for his trade over 43,000 gallons at an aver age price of more than $1 per gallon. MEETING OF DADY OPPONENTS Morris U.

(Special to The Eagle.) Albany, September 20 Governor Dlx was to have given a reply today to the demand of Assemblyman Louis Goldstein for tbe Issuance of an executive eubneua requlrln llEdward M.

Grout to testify about the Union Bank case. Instead, the Governor mortored off to Coblesklll to the Schoharie County fair. The plain Inference was that be will not subpena Mr. Grout. A delegation from the executive committee ot the bsnk depositors came up on the Empire State Express this morning to back up Goldstein's demand.

They bad no appointment with the Governor, but they expected to meet him and urge i upon him the necessity of compelling Grout testify about bis knowledge Union Bank affairs, hey went to the executive chamber, where they sat around discomfited for a while and then determined to call upon Attorney General Carmody. They were told the Attorney General "was out to lunch" and would be back In the course of a couple of hours. Goldstein met the Governor yesterday afternoon and asked for a subpena tor Grout. He explained that owing to Grout's refusal to obey the banking department's summons to appear and give evidence before the Investigation being conducted by the deputy superintendent of banks, the entire Investigation was being delayed. He told the Governor thut Grout had been defeated In the Supreme Court, but had obtained a stay, pending appeal.

The appeal, Goldstein said, would take months to deoide. The Governor replied that he would give Goldstein his decision on the matter today. The delegation of depositors Is very angry at tbe slight, as they conceive it. put upon them by the Governor in not making a formal reply. Goldstein himself saw the Attorney General before the depositors committee arrived.

He was told that Dlx was not inclined to grant the subpena on the ground that Grout would fight against It just as he Is fighting the Banking Department's subpena. Goldstein and tbe depositors do not take this as expressing the Governor's final attitude, although they are very much discouraged. They are hoping that the Governor will issue the subpena should the Attorney General recommend It. Goldstein savs 'that- Carmody originally suggested the executive subpena now be-ine sought for, and he Is at a loss to ex plain the reason for the hitch. BANK PROBING TO CONTINUE.

No Matter Who Is Hurt, There Will Be No Let-up. Assurances that any attempt to check, or deflect the investigation Into the affairs of the Union Bank would be promptly met by Governor Dlx were received late yesterday by Edward Laue Dodge, deputy banking superintendent. The assurance was telephoned to Mr. Dodge by Assemblyman Goldstein In Albany. The Assemblyman said that while doubtless there were men of Importance who did not desire any further probe Into the bank's affairs, the feeling at Albany was that the investigation had become a matter to which the Democratic party was pledged.

He said the closest advisers of the Governor were saying there would be no letup, no matter wuo was affected. Mr. Dodge said he expected to hear soon from Albany in reference to the issuance of an executive subpoena by the Governor. A committee of the Union Bank depositors consisting of John Woodbury, J. F.

Rohrer, Henry Nieland, and Tracy went up on the Empire State Express today to appear before Governor Dix. James C. Cropsey, counsel In the investigation, and Mr. Dodge spent today going over the books of the Union Bank and getting ready a line of questioning to be followed Friday at the next hearing. CAR AND RUNAWAY COLLIDE.

Front Platform Wrecked and Passengers Badly Shaken. The passengers of a crowded Crosstown car were thrown Into a panic today when It collided with a heavily-laden runaway brewery truck, driven by John Konzel-man, of 67 West One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street, Manhattan, at Bedford avenue and North Eleventh street. The motorman, Michael McCarthy, and driver of the team, were slightly hurt, and the former had a remarkable escape from serious injury, the platform and vestibule of the car being wrecked. The team crashed into the truck with terrific force, almost carrying away th platform and sha-Merlng the glass In the vestibule. The suddeness with which the car came to a stop threw those standing in the aisle Into a heap in the front of the car, and those who had seats were thrown from their places.

Konzelman was unseated, and, like the motorman, sustained slight cuts from the flying glass. GIVES SEVERE SENTENCES. William Rankin, 37 years of age, of 108 Linden street, luckily escaped conviction as a second offender by pleading guilty to grand larceny in the second degree as a first offense, and this morning Judge Ward sent him to Sing Sing for five years. This was the first occasion that local criminal talent thd had an opportunity to see what Judge Ward, who comes from Herkimer County, would do when confranted with convicted persons, ready for sentence.

UNFAIR TO PRESIDENT STEERS Did Not Know Judge Palmlerl Acted Without Consulting Aldermen. Borough President Steers said today that he resented the criticism made yesterday by A'derman John J. Meagher that he (Mr. Steers) did not consult the Brooklyn Aldermen regarding the $12,000 appropriation which, it was reported, Judge Palmlerl, chairman ot the Brooklyn committee of Italians, who are arranging the borough Columbus Day celebration, was going to seek from the Board of Aldermen Mr. Steers said that he did not know, as Alderman Meagher seemed to believe, that Judge Palmier! was going to seek an appropriation without the aid of the Brooklyn Aldermen, and that if he had known It he would have advised Judge Palmlerl to make his request through them.

He said that after appointing the Brooklyn committee of Italians he turned the matter over to his secretary, John B. Creighton, and that Mri Creighton, he has learned now, told Judge Palmier! that the latter should consult with the Brooklyn" Aldermen before trying to get an appropriation. That Judge Palmierl did not do this was not the Borough President's concern, said Mr. Steers, and consequently It was not fair that Brooklyn Aldermen should criticise him in the matter. Mr.

Steer stoday received a letter from George W. Loft, chairman of the committee appointed by Mayor Gaynor for Manhattan's celebration, asking him to vote at the Board of Estimate meeting tomorrow for a $50,000 appropriation for expenses on October 12. Alderman Meagher said today that when this matter came up before the Board of Aldermen, if the oBard of Estimate approves It, he and Brooklyn's other twenty-three Aldermen would fight it, unless Brooklyn gets a fair slice of it for the Brooklyn oalebration. 171 POLICE WANT MORE PAY.
