COLLINS SAILS, A PRISONER, AFTER FIVE-YEAR FIGHT British War Hero Starts for Bombay to Face Charge of $20,000 Swindle. New Orleans, June 13-Inspector George Miles of Scotland Yard had passage today on the liner Comus for New York himself and Charles Glenn Collins, former lieutenant-colonel in the British army and probably New Orleans' most noted prisoner. It is the first lap of a journey intended to end in Bombay, India. Colonel Collins, a veteran of the Boer War, who served under Kitchener in Egypt and during the World War, won citations for gallantry in the fighting at Antwerp, Gallipoli and in France, and who further distinguished himself as a courier between Petrograd and Vladivostok, is charged by a Bombay firm with having swindled it of $20,000. Colonel Collins has lost one of the longest extradition fights in the history of this country--a fight that lasted more than five years.

The man who was made a chevalier of The Legion of Honor in France, gazetted as a companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George by Britain, and who received the thanks of the Canadian Government by special act of Parliament, still is undaunted. He sails aboard the Majestic from New York on June 23 and declares as soon as he lands at Southampton he will take steps to place his case before the courts of England. He is an Eton and Sandhurst man and was an acquaintance of King George when the King was the Prince of Wales.

Berry's approval, made public the correspondence. A committee will call on the board of directors of the international union this afternoon, in accordance with resolutions last Sunday, to take such steps as were necessary to discuss the advisability of a strike. "While it would be improper for me to intimate what the position of the international union's board will be upon the answer to the publishers," Mr. Berry said, "yet, for my part as president, I will say that the publishers' answer is quite satisfactory and meets the issue clearly and frankly, and that in my judgment there is little, if any, difference between the parties in controversy that cannot be speedily adjusted without resorting to further precipitation of belligerency upon the part of any of those interested." The publishers' reply was to the effect that It was their desire to continue relations with the union, that they pledged their efforts to arrive at a new contract by conciliation, and that it was their belief that provisions for arbitration of differences should be made.

Explanations by attorneys and counsellors of "what is wrong with the Municipal courts," accompanied by various charges against the jus.

tices, and suggestions for improving conditions, were received by The Eagle today and promptly answered by Justice H. C. Glore, sitting in the First District Court, and speaking in behalf of his fellow justices. Here are, some of the criticisms that the attorneys and counsellors make of the Municipal Court system and its justices: 1-Many justices refuse to sit in the afternoon. 2-Some justices reserve decisions 80 that politicians may step in and discuss the cases.

3--Cases are adjourned over for months a period of vacation. for the justices. is often 4-Courtesy of holding a motion denied. 5-Justices seek to dispose of cases rather than actually try them. 6-Courts tangled in the "cobwebs of antiquity" and the administration of the law "too cumbersome." The charge that the justices refuse to sit in the afternoon was resented today by both Justice Glore and Ralph Jacobs of the Brooklyn Bar Association.

Justice Glore said that he was on the bench till 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon and from the looks of things would be on till 8:30 o'clock tonight. Mr. Jacobs stated that he knew of no justice in Brooklyn who would refuse to sit in the afternoon. Glore Replies to Charges. The charge that cases are adjourned SO that politicians might have a chance to intervene was also resented by Justice Glore, who would not even "dignify it by an answer." The accusation that cases are adjourned for many months in order that the justices may have a vacation met with a reply from Justice Glore to the effect that "at no time is the Municipal Court closed on account of vacations.

"We justices," he said, "are given a vacation at a certain time. We cannot pick and choose when we shall be off. Only jury cases are adjourned over until October, and this is because there is no jury term until then. Attorneys ought to know this. "It is also true that cases are often adjourned not according to the desire of the justice, but in accordance with the wishes of the litigants and attorneys involved.

The attorneys are not ready themselves in many instances. It 1g our aim to get the case tried and over with as soon as possible." Justice Glore denied also the charge that courtesies allowed in other courts were denied in the Municipal Courts. He said that It would "be a good idea if some of the men who write to The Eagle criticising the justices would give the name of the justice and date and case which he refers to. "General statement such as The Eagle has communicated to me today are of no help," Justice Glore said. "Let the accuser give full par.

ticulars in every case and you will find that most of the charges are not based on fact. "Too many attorneys desire more to make a showing before their clients than to settle a case. This is one of the reasons for delay." Frank M. Testa in a letter to The Eagle today suggested that Assemblyman Joseph Ricca, father of the Municipal Court Justices' bill, carry a fight for improved conditions to Albany next year by legislation to "expunge from our statute books the brutal defense of contributory negligence," that will provide for the settlement of cases on contract involving more than $100 by arbitration, and by provision that all wage cases and landlord and tenant cases be taken out of the Municipal Courts and settled before a special commission. N.

D. Shapiro Complains, Nathan D. of 50 Court st. recommends a central jury division similar to the one out' ed in a bill by Assemblyman Ricca this year, but defeated in the Senate. Mr.

Shapiro complained that one of his cases was dismissed in the Municipal Court in spite of the fact that his clerk answered the call and told the Justice that an attorney from his office had been on hand and would return shortly. In his letter Mr. Shapiro said: "Many of the justices in the Municipal Court are seeking to 'dispose' of cases as distinguished from the trying of cases. Only recently the Municipal Court has extended its vacation and is adjourning all jury cases to October instead of to September. A good many Municipal Court justices reserve decision some reason unknown to us and hold these cases for weeks.

Some attorneys claim that these decisions reserved so politicians may step in and discuss the case with these justices. Whether there is much truth in that I do not know, but I believe that the average case in Municipal Court could be decided immediately, and most of the capable justices in that court are deciding their cases within 24 hours."

June 13 -Martin Ronan, 50, is in the Huntington Hospital with a broken hip, the result of injuries he received last night when he was run down by a motorcycle ridden by Ferdinand Rousch.

"During and after the Smyrna fire these relief organizatons did fine work and undoubtedly many lives were saved by their quick action. And in Russia, too, their work was equally effective." Another duty of the American destroyer fleet while in the Mediterranean was to arrange for Greek ships to stop at Constantinople and carry back to Greece some of the thousands of Greek refugees stranded in Turkey.
