of of of of THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1923. 21 COP SAVES LIVES OF TWO BOYS IN RUNAWAY RACE Patrolman McGrath Stops Team Going at Full Gallop Through Crowded Streets. With two spectacular tricks which would have done credit to Cosrack, Mounted Policemar Edward J. ed McGrath of the Sheepshead Bay station the the and muchelda threchleesteraditiona executed, with the utmost daring, a two -ply rescue of two small boys from what might have been instant death.

In addition to this he brought to a stop at the cost of a ruined uniform and a battered body, young team of spirited horses, halting them in full flight. After he had completed his task McGrath refused medical attention and went home. It was just in the day's routine for him. Michael Orzzeck of 2288 Gravesend ave. is the owner of the team which had always been docile up to yesterday.

They were attached to a light farm wagon when he stopped front of his home and decided to give his son Stanley, aged 7, a ride. Orzzeck put the boy on the seat and was just on the point of climbing up beside him when the team bolted. McGrath. seated on his horse Hamlet, was on post at Avenue and Gravesend ave. when he saw the maddened animals bearing down on him, a white-faced kid on the seat.

He gave Hamlet his head and tried 10 head them off, but they were going under too great headway. Then he touched his mount with his heels and set off in pursuit of them as they whirled by in a cloud of dust. At. Avenue and E. First a group' of children were playing in the roadway but they scattered.

Just ahead of them another group of were playing. These scattered, too, but one stumbled and fell right in the path of McGrath's horse. There was one thing to do, and McGrath did it. He spurred Hamlet, who cleared the lad with a flying leap as a racer 'Then steeplechase clears a thicket. the pursuit went on.

McGrath succeeded in getting alongside the team after he had gone some four or five blocks. When only a foot or two separated Hamlet from them he sprang to the back of the nearest horse and in that perilous position reached for the reins. One line was broken, but he managed to slow the team down. Then he leaned forward and grasped the bridle. He held on to this with an iron grip, but the horse shook him SO that his body slipped off and trailed along bumping the roadway for two blocks.

Then they halted. His 111- form was ruined and he was sore all over. The boy had held fast and was lifted down suffering a bit from shock. but otherwise all right. McGrath reported after that.

He made little of his adventure. The mounted men do these things a matter of course. That is why they are.as fine a body of men as any in the world. TURNS IN LOS ANGELES TO QUESTION WILSON Les Angeles. April 18-WilYam J.

JULIUS H. BARNES HOME; DISCUSSES EUROPE'S PROBLEMS Tells What Should Be Done to Bring About Better Economic Conditions. Factors in the solution of European economic problems fall naturally into five categories, according to Julius H. Barnes, recently returned from an extended trip over Europe with a delegation of the United States Chamber of -reparations, Allied debts, budgets, international loans and exchange. Mr.

Barnes based his conclusions upon personal observation of cot. ditions in Europe. He told of his observations and some of his personal experiences with the Chamber of Commerce delegation at a dinner given by A. C. Bedford at the Metropolitan Club Monday night.

The dinner was attended by publishers owners and business managers' of newspapers. "Now you will ask what that solu. tion consisted in, and what are the fundamental requirements under that sort of formula," he said. "They were not. complicated.

The questions fall naturally into five categoriesreparations, Allied debt, budgets, international loans and exchange. With a comprehensive settlement of these in their proper relation to each other there would be the basis in the business judgment of the world for the foundation of this great economic earning process to commence to lift these burdens. "Under reparations- -and remember that this had the unanimous acceptance of ail these delegations of 20 countries, including France and Eelgium-under reparations that whatever the settlement may finally be determnied, the details 10 be worked out later. it must include this principle, that shall acknowledge its liability for wanton aggression; that it shall undertake with good faith and honest effort to contribute to the utmost of its resources and earning power, its reparation of great wrongs done; that that amount of reparations now determined must carry some security for its payment; that since this is the demonstration of the results which follow aggression. there must be security against the recurrence of similar aggression.

"As to Allied debts, it is difficult to see why the ability of a debtor to dis. charge an Allied debt should not be considered, if you stand for the principle that the ability of Germany to pay her reparations obligation must be determined, too. So that it is admitted that the ability of these debtors to pay shall be considered, too, but that there shall. be no general application of a principle of cancellation or remission. "That, as to budgets.

it is manifest that there must be a repetition of the old statement that national finances, as individual, must bear some proper relation between income and outgo. with the additional reservation that taxation as a method of revenue must not be carried to the point where it. stifles productive industry. Because we in America have just pased that phase ourselves and we are impressed with the fact that taxation on a people, if unwise in character or extent. may itself destroy the earning power and the taxpaying of that poople.

"That as to international loans. these as governmental operations. must be discouraged, because of the political complication which they bear. The Allied debt today probably could be settled by business men if they were business considerations only: but because whatever settlements are made must be considered in Parliamentary bodies there is a chock, an obstacle in the refunding those, both as to amount and character and time in terms of ment. "And as to exchange, artificial stahility by governments only leads to distress and disaster, and the ultimate goal of exchange should be the approach to the full gold parity, but under natural processes.

"The information that we got in Europe as to the progress in Russia under the new economic policy was distinctly encouraging. This is confirmed by a record of grain exports which have taken place from Russia within the past four months. Tr.efe have moved out of Russia something like 300.000 tons of grain, mostly to Germany, and there are further contracts under way. If these were taken out of Russia at the expense or its necessary home supplies, of course it would be an economic error, and that will not develop far some three months; but it looks as if Russia today had really succeeded in raising an agricultural surplus and as if under normal weather conditions Russia would gradually at least increase its contribution to the overseas movement of food. which is the readiest commodity which it has to found In Great Britain an almost unanimous opinion that with the exception of the textile industry all British business is improving and now on an earning basis.

"The outstanding fact which impressed us in all these countries in Europe is the very clear conviction that State ownership and State operation of public facilities--I won't say public utilities, but public facilities -bas distinctly written itself a failure. Not onl la this shown in Italy's effort to get its public State-owned facilities ir nutrate hands. but it. is shown in Austria. there is a recasting of the Government ra'lroad service and a discharge of 100.000 superfluous employes.

It is shown in Great Britain, where the railroads under their return to private have greatly quickened the bustness and economic of that island and greatly improved the service and at the same time reduced the rates. It shows there is a general appreciation throughout all of Europe that these facilities must not only be in private hands but they must be tegulated SO wisely that they will present a field of attraction for the superior grade of private ability to enlist themselves ir. their administration. and that it is true that where this has been tried. as in Great Britain, they are meeting with satisfac.

tory results." NEW HOUSING COMMITTEE PROPOSED IN ASSEMBLY (Special by Eagle Staff Correspondent) Albany, April 18--A new Housing committee to consist of four Senators and five Assemblymen to investigate housing conditions in New York City is provided for in a resolution offered today by Assemblyman Samuel Roseman. l'emocrat, of New York. This committee will not attempt to go int the question of building costs as the Lockwood Committee did. but will confine its activities strictly to housing matters. The committee will report at the next session of the Legislature.

This resolutiton, along with the Tax Exemption bill and the extension of the emergency rent laws, ate the only housing matters that this session of the Legislature will consider. although vigorous efforts are being made to pass the AntinJesse bill providing for the conversion of three-story houses into three-family apartments, Despite the fact that Tenement House Commissioner Frank Mann is supporting the bill, Mayor Hylan's representatives are reported to be against it on the grounds that it would tend to destroy the tenement house laws.
