4 Prosecutor Intimates Charges May Be jviCi- fied if It Is Forthcoming. May Landing, N. Oct. 12 While Prosecutor Louis A. RepettcJ was asserting that "no conscientious jury could fail to bring in a verdict of guilty of first degree murder on the evidence we have in this case," Mrs.

Lilliendahl, pacing up and down her cell, told a committee of three newspaper reporters that "this thing is a damnable outrage. She would say very little else. Beach Grlus. In his cell Beach grinned. "Great life," he commented.

'This will all come out all right though, and I'm going in the movies afterward. No, I'm not in the least bit atraicj.

While Mayor Walker, Samuel Un-termyer and Transportation Chairman John H. Delaney were making plans for a tour of the transit lines in Brooklyn, this afternoon, traction circles were debating the results of the first meeting of Controller Berry's committee called to consider the report of Maj. Charles E.

Smith. Controller Berry said there had been an agreement on everything except fare and it is understood that two members Surrogate Wingate of Brooklyn and Jesse I. Straus withheld approval of the Smith plan for a flexible fare starting at .7 cents or 4 tickets for a quarter. Clash Looms in Board. Meanwhile the first clash in the Board of Estimate loomed over a budget item for subway construction, placed there by Delaney as the first move in his plan to finance the building partly out of short tenn securities, by which means he hopes to save sufficient in long term charges to permit operation of the city's new lines at a S-cent fare.

Berry served notice of opposition to this, declaring that he was not so much against using cash to meet part of the tube work as he was to putting this sum in the budget when he didn't believe it would accomplish the purpose sought. Berry Attacks Plan. He declared Delaney figured on running his lines for less than the operating costs of the B. M. T.

"Do you think that the city can do it for less than the B. M. he asked. "Do you think that the people of the city would stand for the sort of service being given by the B. M.

T. and the I. R. T. with all the crowding and discomfort?" He also declared that Delancy's plan called for a yearly increase in assessed valuations of approximately $800,000,000 and asserted that "the city can't keep on boosting realty assessments.

"No administration could remain in power if each taxpayer was met each year with a constantly increasing tax bill," he said.

A NOTE TO THE ELDER GENERATION Casualty Underwriters Or 1 ganize to Fight Evil Exposed by The Eagle. Another result of The Eagle- cam paign against "ambulance chasing1 lawyers was produced today In an an nouncement that the leading casualty and surety insurance men of the country, through the executive committee of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, have taken definite steps to help stamp out the evil.

At meeting yesterday the exec utive committee decided to recommend to the constituent companies the creation of a claim department. juie oojecta 01 wmcn are to be: "1. To insure, through the cooperation of its members, such administration of casualty claims as will result in prompt and Just settlement of all meritorious claims. Unite to End Fraud. "2.

To promote plans in respect to a tervioe whereby collusion, deception and false or fraudulent claims will be vigorously resisted and dishonest, unscrupulous and unethical practices, whether indulged in by professional or laymen, will be promptly discouraged and exposed. "3. To establish and maintain an Index for the purpose of reporting and Idisseminatins information to its mem bers In respect to accidents and losses in which its members have an inter-i est. "4. To promote co-operation for the exchange of information with public authorities and with Individuals or organizations maintaining index bu-' reaus for the collection of similar data." To Tarn Over Evidence.

As fast as evidence of Illegal prae- tices is collected, the announcement aid, it will be turned over to the District Attorney for prosecution. "This step seems necessary quite as much for the protection of the honest policyholder as for the lnsur- ance companies," A. W. Whitney, acting general manager of the National Bureau, said. "The honest man knows that the experience on which general insurance rates are establish- i cd includes, in part, losses due to unscrupulous practices.

A tremendous 'amount has been mulcted out of insurance companies by the unethical, scheming and fraudulent practices 'engaged in by some attorneys who developed to a high grade an Iniquitous system of solicitation; a subornation of perjury coupled with system of victimizing the honest claimants." Big Increase Noticed. I' Mr. Whitney pointed out that last 3an. 1 there were 235.194 actions pending in the 48 Municipal Courts in the city, that 84 percent of the cases on the general calendar of the City Court have arisen from accidents, an increase of 30 percent between last Jan. 1 and July 1.

"It is a matter of public comment," he added, "that perjury is openly committed in the trial of many negli gence cases. It Is regrettable that presiding judges are not able be' cause of matters relating to tech' nical proof to take action summarily such a crime is committed. "The congestion of the courts and ambulance chasing go hand in hand One would not be possible without the otner ana pernaps neltner would be possible without the solicitation of cases, coupled witn tne contingent lee. It is conservatively estimated that 60 percent of the suits filed In negligence cases in New York City are without merit and should be re fleeted without payment."

Horace G. Knowles of Manhattan, former Minister to Santo Domingo, said today that a great memorial light to Columbus at Santo Domingo, where the discoverer is buried, is now assured. "Congress, at its last session, in resolutions passed in both houses, went on record unanimously as backing the project." laid Mr. Knowles. "The exact amount which our Government will appropriate has not yet been decided.

"The Dominican Government last vear voted an appropriation of part of which sum is already raised and in the treasury. As a matter of fact the question was settled when the Pan-American Union, which is in charge of the memorial, voted to back it financially at its conference in Santiago." World's Highest Tower. Benjamin H. Levitan. the architect of the memorial, said today tnat the Columbus light will be the world's highest tower, rismii 1.080 feet.

each representing the days of the week and the compass points. Eight high speed elevators will take passengers by three stages from the terrace to the observation platform on the top of tne lower. The estimated cost of the memorial is $5,000,000. Mr. Levitan said.
