3 ZICHY SUES TO HAVE JUDGMENT AGAINST HIM KILLED Bridegroom Now Demands 000 Damages for Speedster in Jam With Taxi. Wearing his gray fedora rakishly over one eye and carrying his silvermounted cane over his shoulder like a bayonet, the youthful and handsome Count Edward George Zichy fairly exuded fight when he appeared in the City Court this morning for a hearing in supplementary proceedings brought against him for an unsatisfied judgment for $1,063 held 1 by Samuel J. Goldberg of 207 Van Siclen Brooklyn, who claims damages to his Ford taxi to that extent, received from the speedster of the Count in January, 1921. racing, The examination was postponed, however, until next. Wednesday, when it will take place in the 7th District Municipal Court, Brooklyn.

Meanwhile the has brought a counter action against Goldberg through his attorney, Frank S. Feiler, of 44 Court who announced that Estabrook of the 1st District Municipal Court, Brooklyn, has ordered Goldberg to show cause why the case against Count Zichy should not be reopened and the judgment vacated. The order is returnable Monday before Justice Glore in the 7th District Municipal Court. Count has also set up a counter- claim for $1,000 damages to his speedster by the Ford taxicab. The judgment against the Count was obtained by default, Mr.

Feiler explained, as the Count considered ne had complied with American law when he filed with his lawver an answer to the original co complaint and Mr. Feiler was unable to locate, him blackmail," when the said case the Count, called. defiantly regarding his purple hose, of his shirt. He wore a blue which exactly' matched the pain, stripe raincoat and a scarab ring adorned the middle finger his left hand. He looks more like a husky member of the Yale or Harvard football team than Hungarian nobleman, being 6 feet 2 inches tall, wearing his blonde hair brushed straight back from his merry blue eyes.

He resembles his American mother, who at present is at the Zichy estate at Budapest. "If these fellows want a fight they've got it." he said, belligerently. "They thought the publicity would be so distateful to me that I'd settle on their terms. Well, they made a big mistake. The publicity is bad enough, I never get a moment's peace, but they picked the wrong fellow to fight with.

I'm in till the finish and any talk about my running away is rot. of course. Fancy my doing that." Zichy said he had been in Manhattan courts twice before, both times for speeding, and on one of these occasions had been fined $25. He was educated in England speaks like a Britisher. "It's curious to watch, isn't it?" he said, regarding the crowd.

"An interesting psychological study, these people. No, I've not been offered motion picture contract vet dare say I shall be, though. "Prices on Fords must be going up. Never heard of a new one that was worth a cool $1,000. Second-hand ones are worth less of course.

Too bad the newspapers play into the hands of a gang of blackmailers like this. The papers are innocent of course, but many a person has been held up for money just to keep himself out of a lot of cheap notoriety. However, you fellows have been pretty decent to me." and the Count laughed and offered his pigskin cigarette case before leaving the courtroom after the adjournment.

DR. ETTINGER STARTS LOCAL BOARDS' PROBE Desires Better Co-operation Between Them and the Schools. An investigation of the co-operation between the schools and the local school boards of the city is being made by Superintendent of Schools William L. Ettinger, it became known today. Since the beginning of the year cries of being shorn of powers have been raised by various local school boards and in the case of the Associated School Boards of Brooklyn it has been maintained that at present only the power of shaking hands with principals remains.

Dr. Ettinger has requested the district superintendents to inform him as to the number of cavancies existing on the various boards, the attendance at the board meetings, how often the boards meet and what programs they have for' co-operating with the schools. He said today that returns from his questionnaire are still incomplete and therefore conclusions could not be drawn. Asked whether the reports showed that the attendance slight at the meetings, Mr. Ettinger said that in some cases few of the members appeared at the sessions, but that in general it was fair.

Dr. Ettinger denied that the season for the investigation was to increase the powers of the boards and said that these are a matter statute He said that he hoped to make recommendations to the Board of Education for further means of co-operation between the boards and the schools, using the results of the questionnaire as a basis. The Board of Superintendents at their meeting today will go on record as opposing the practice of naming elementary schools. Associate Superintendent Edward B. Shallow submitted a recommendation that this practice be abandoned in the future and in the case of new schools numbers be applied instead of names.

He said that confusion resulted when schools were named and this could be eliminated if only numbers were used. The new regulation not affect schools already named. $10,000 APPROPRIATED FOR STAIRCASE IN BORO HALL A request by Boro President mann for an appropriation of $10,000 for installing a staircase from the main floor to the basement in Boro Hall was granted today by the Board of Estimate.

In obedience to Mayor Hylan's ukase, delivered at the meeting of the committee of the whole 011 Wednesday, that there must be no more delay in disposing of contracts submitted by the Transit Commission, the Board of Estimate today passed seven of them with machine-gun-like rapidity, although none of the communications from the Commission covering these matters were dated farther back than April 25, 1922. The contracts approved today were small ones, but until the "drastic measures' warning from Governor Miller, even picayune contracts for subway construction material awarded by the MeAneny group were put on ice by the Hylan Board. One of the agreements is with the Vulcan Rail and Construction Company for the construction of steel ladders and gratings in two shafts of the Bronx River tunnel -at $3,504. This contract was first submitted to the Board of Estimate last summer, the estimate of the cost at that time being $3,578.60.

On February 3. his year, it was returned to the Commis. sion for readvertisement. The saving amounts to $74.60, not enough to cover the cost of advertising. The requisition of the Transit mission for an appropriation of on account of the expenses of the Commission and salaries of its employees, appeared on the Board's calendar today for the first time.

It was referred to the committee of the whole, the proper mode of procedure. A communication from the secretary of the Transit Commission, submitting al copy of the report of Frederick Lindars, chief accountant, and John H. Madden, valuation engineer, the valuation of the street railway properties in the city, sent to the Board on Feb. 20, 1922, was "restored to the calendar' on the recommendariton of committee of the whole and referred to the Corporation Counsel. Mayor Hylan took advantage of this opportunity to take a shot at Governor Miller, although he did not mention him by name.

"There are people going about this flown he said, "calling us obstructionists." ought to be stopped," Boro President Riegelmann interjected humorously. "They know perfectly well." the Mayor went on after the laugh caused by. Riegelmann's remark had subsided, "they know as well as we do what we are obstructing. We are ohstructing traction gang from increasing the fare. We are obstructing the traction crew from getting $60.000.000 more a year out of the people." "What we are now asked to approve," Controller Craig put in.

"is private operation of the transit lines generations to come." 'Yes," Mayor Hylan continued contemptuously, "that unification scheme would 1 the traction crew from relieve paying the $11,000,000 taxes they owe the city. But they are not going to get away with it! That's what we are obstructing." Boro President Miller of asked that action on the subway Manhattan construction material contracts before the Board be deferred SO as to give the Board "an opportunity for full investigation." but President Riegelmann gently reminded him that the committee of the whole had recommended approval, and Mr. Miller said 110 more.

May 19 Speaking before the Chamber of Commerce of the United States here yesterday, President Harding declared that: The World War might have been prevented if the United States had a sufficiently large merchant marine, and it is the ardent desire of the Administration to see such a merchant marine established.

In the former year she defeated Miss Leitch in the final of that event by 2 and 1 after being 4 down with only nine holes to play. At the end of the morning round today Miss Wethered was 1 up after ding dong match for the 18 holes.

After halves of the first three holes Miss Wethered gave a hint of what WaS to come by winning the fourth and' fifth. but the champion got back the sixth hole. Miss Wethered took No. 7 to become up again. The girl played the last hole out badly for a to lose and the turn only 1 up.

The first 111 hole went to Miss Wethered Miss Leitch won the next three to atand up.
