He tald he had been a member of the Master Plumbers for 27 years, that he was not present at the meeting when, Mr.

Cnrswell said, a resolution was adopted directing members to send their bids to Hettrick, and that ho had never submitted his bids to anyone before they were filed. "But." said Mr. Carswell, "how do you account for your being able to get you figures over as the low bidder In the Dock Department with such frequency, when you had not the same success in others?" "Oh," exclaimed Mr. Altman, "my figures count! 1 am successful in any department." "You knew you are the only one that gets any In the Dcpartmen tof Docks?" Mr. Carswell continued.

"I don't know about that. There Is no special preference made here for me or anybody else, as far us I know." GETS FATAL BURNS IN BABY CARRIAGE 4-Year-Old Brother Wheels Tot Too Close to Fire. Six-lnonths-old Wilbur Hiiyhurst died early today in the Jewish Hospital of burns unwittingly caused by his 4-year-old brother, Joseph, In the kitchen of their home at 673 Clussor. avc. late yesterday afternoon.

The baby was left in a baby carriage nlono with Joseph for a few moments while his mother went to the front of the house to look after another son playing In the street. The child began to cry and Joseph, accustomed to seeing his mother wheel the child In order to sooth It, went to the carriage and begun wheeling it up and down the kitchen floor, Joseph did not observe a small spark fly from the mosquito netting over the carriage, after the carriage had pussed the big kitchen range. In a moment the netting and child's clothing und covering were a mass of flame. Joseph screamed In terror. He ran to the front of the house to call his mother, The carriage was In cinders when the mother returned, and the baby unconscious from burns ull over Its little body.

Itemoval to the Jewish Hospital, which is just across the street, could not savo the child, which died early this morning.

j0 i Development Project Not Likely to Be O. at Present Session. Kaglc Bureau. 901 Colorado Building. Washington, Jan.

4 There Is little i likelihood of Congress authorizing J0-foot channel in Jamaica Bay at i this session. As a result, the Jamaica Bay development program will be de-I layed. It is understood that the House I will not have uny rivers and harbors bill at the present session, This news cornea us surprise, as It was understood that there was good prospect of the Board of Estimate's tnr rt.f-.il i early approval, especially in view of the fact that tho bill has the active support of Senator Calder and other Senators, while In the House Chairman Dempsey of tho Itivers and Harbors Committee Is Its chumpion. 4 .000.000 Still Available. Congress made an appropriation tAtt nfrn frw rii.ftflfl.ltir- liimilii'tl channel was made at the last session us nn amendment to the Itivers and Harbors Appropriation Hill, hut it was ruled as new legislation subject to point of order and was held up In the: Senate.

An appropriation bill is now being framed to carry on the work already authorized, but In view of what hup-pened at the last session it is not believed possible to have the expropriation bill carry the necessary legislation to authorize the 30-foot channel. Aldermanic President V. II. Da Guardia yesterday explained why the committee of the Board of Estimate had failed to report on the offer of Alton il. Greeley, president of the American Chain of Warehouses, to create with private capital a harbor for big ships at Jamaica Hay.

The committee has had the subject under consideration for months. Action Hinges on Congress. Mr. La Guardia said that Mr. Greeley's offer was conditioned on the deepening of the bay from 18 to 30 feet and the widening from f00 to 1,000 feet.

If Congress should net favorably on the Bourd's petition, Mr. La Guardia said, the committee would take Immediate action so there would be no unnecessary delay. The special committee of Board of Estimate held a public hearing at which representatives of commcrcl.il bodies and civic associations strongly r.rped acceptance of the proposition on certain conditions IntendeJ to snfe-fcuarrt the Interests of the city. Mr. I.u Guardia.

explaining the failure of the committee to make a report, said: "We are In no hurry to submit a report for the simple reason that Mr. Greeley's proposal falls to the ground in the event of Congress falling to take action on the petition of the Hoard of Estimate that the existing channel in Jamaica Bay be deepened and widened; and that on account of the largely Increased cost of labor and material since the contract between the city and the Federal Government for the development of Jamaica Bay was entered into, the city be reimbursed at the rate of 12 cents instead of 8 cents per cubic yard for dredging the main channel. "At the hearing the conimltleo held Into Mr. Greeley's project. Mr.

Greeley stated explicitly that his offer was based on a 30-foot main channel, or otherwise it would be useless to build the big piers and extensive terminal fnclllties he had In mind because an 18-foot channel would not accommo-! dut sea-going vessels. As soon as Congress nets In the matter of the deeper channel, I'll see to it that there I will be no delay on the part of the: committee In submitting a report on the Greeley offer to the Board of KKtimnie iiiiruiir out or jumutca isay.

Washington. Jan. 4 Any Brooklyn Republican who has his eye on the Job of Naval Officer of the I'ort New York will do well to take the field early and start his campaign. New Jersey is already in tho field with a candidate and will make powerful efforts to hold this place, which crossed the Hudson for the first time under the Wilson Administration. Senator Kdge of New Jersey is backing Arthur If.

Foran of Hunterdon County for the place of Naval Officer. The present Naval Officer, II. Otto Wlttpenn of Jersey City, a Democrat, was appointed In 1913 as a result of the activities of Mr. Tumulty, tho President's Secretary. At that time places, Collector, Naval Officer, Surveyor and Appraiser, belong to New York tate, and does not ronsider that tho' appointment of Wittpenn cstub- illshed a precedent which should be followed under tho next administra tion.

Senator Kdge, on the other hand. Is trying to hold for New Jersey the place that went there under tho first Wilson administration. What Mr. Harding may determine, after ho bo- comes j'resiueni. nonoay yet Knows.

Thfc othot three places pay $8,000 each and oim regarded us being about an' desir able as another. A It has been understood' tlftif i H. Kracke, of Brooklyn, want fpf sicrly held the place of naval officer, wouhl again be a candidate.

But thus far Mr. Kracke hus made no sign. Tha latest report ls that Mr. Kracke wants the colleetorship. Another man who will become formidable candidate for the colleetorship is George A.

Aldrldge, ot Rochester. This place noes not necessarily go to a New York Republican. Still another man who is reported to be a candidate for tho colleetorship is John Knfforty, of Brooklyn. If the Naval offleo should remain In New Jersey, Senator Calder will Insist that Brooklyn shall get either the stir-veyorshlp or the appruisershlp. Tho Brooklyn Republican organization hus not yet shown its hand with rcgurd to uny of the Federal oflicen.

Tho contest between New Jersey and Brooklyn for the Naval office may become a spirited one. Senator Calder became aware of the New Jersey candidacy today, but had no comment to make. New Jersey Is taking time by tho forelock, so far as the Harding Administration goes. With Senator Kdgo backing Fornn for Naval Officer, Senator Frelinghuysen has produced candidate for the post of Minister to Denmark, or some equivalent diplomatic post, In the person of John D. Prince.

Tho latter was formerly a State Senator In New Jersey, and Is now a member of the faculty of Columbia University.
