THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1922. City in Quandary How to Raise $800,000 for Cops WALL-FLOWER WILL GROW FROM ROUGE POT, DOCTOR SAYS BEAUVAIS' FATHER FACES SEVERE QUIE ON STILLMAN CASE Mrs. Wilson's "$1 Dinner" Today Costs 49 "Where Are Critics?"

Mrs. Bennett, in a handsome mink cape, declared that the reason she now had something behind her for her late years," was because she had always made a $1 bill dollar over and above his needs. The Boro Presidents of Manhattan, Queens and Richmond will take the same stand, it is understood. Heads of departments, under orders from Mayor Hylan, may with sore hearts turn back a portion of their allowances, but the few thousand dollars they will be able to contribute to the Police Commission's anti-crime wave fund will be hardly more than a drop in the bucket. 1'nder the law the Board of Estimate, the same as the Board ot Aldermen, cannot issue more than special revenue, bonds in any one year.

The Board of Estimate has already authorized the expenditure of $1,459,000 of that amount Blnce Jan. I. As a last resort, the Board could authorize the issue of short-term bonds on tax notes to raise the money for the new policemen, but in either case the Issue would become a charge cn next year's budget. The great City of Xcw York is today in a quandary as to how to raise the $800,000 needed in addition to the 000 granted by the Board of Aldermen yesterday to pay the 1.192 new patrolmen allowed Pplice Commissioner En-right by the Board of Estimate. A hurry call has gone out from the City Hall to the Boro Presidents and heads of departments to come to the rescue by cutting down prospective expenses and turn their savings into the municipal treasury.

That $800,000 or anything like that sum can be obtained in this way is said to be out of the question. Boro President Riegelmann declares that he can't spare 25 cents ot the appropriation given him by the Board of Estimate, while the Boro President of the Bronx states that he has not got a Slain Woman Who Accused Dr. Bryson on Deathbed Mrs. Helen Kirby Haines, the supposed wife of Dr. Herbert Bryson former Army surgeon, held as her slayer at Huntingdon, Pa.

The dead woman was married to Bruce Haines at Tuckahoe, X. in 1913, and Haines accuses Bryson of wrecking his home. WEEKS WELCOMES CONGRESS PROBE OF WAR DEPARTMENT Washington, April 12 In a formal statement replying to charges made yesterday on the floor of the House, Secretary Weeks declared today that the War Department was doing "everything possible" to clear up war contract controversies in such a way as to fully protect the Interests of the Federal Government. Cash and property amounting to "many millions" already had been recovered in the reauditing ordered by the present Administration, tho Secretary said, and other contracts were being reviewed as rapidly as possible. Referring to statements that the firm of Hornblower Weeks had been involved in sale of the Bosch Magneto Company, Mr.

Weeks said he had not been connected with that firm since 1913. Referring specifically to requests for an investigation made by Repre sentatives Johnson, Republican, South Dakota, and Woodruff, Republican, Michigan, the Secretary said that if Congress thought an inquiry advisable the War Department would "welcome it." SPANISH VICTORY OVER MOORS IS SEEN Madrid, April 12 Further successes by the Spanish forces In Morocco have made certain the capture of Monte Mauro, the occupation of which will mean domination of the territory occupied by the rebellious Beni-Said tribes, according to an official statement. Government forces have occupied Timayast, capturing 13 cannon and much artillery ammunition. A.

SAAR RESIDENTS TO PROTEST FRENCH OCCUPATION OF ZONE Genoa, April 12 (By the Associated Press) Conditions in the Saar Valley, control of which was awarded to France by the Treaty of Versailles, are to be called to the attention of the Economic Conference by a delegation composed of prominent financial and other residents of the Saar, says the newspaper Cattadino today.

Khearns' charts, which, he said, cov- ered only some of the stations, and, In his belief, not sufficient stations and told only part of tho story. The Hedley charts were more comprehensive and intended to tell the whole stry.

Ac-' cording to the Interbro head, the charts were based upon 24-hour ooser-vatlons at the principal express points of the East and West side subways and at local stations just ahea'd of cacti express point. Mr. Hedley first took up local service conditions and showed by the chart that the company furnished on a 24-hour average more than two scats for every passenger. Choosing the 69th st. station on the Broadway and 7th ave.

subway, which Mr. Hedley said showed the heaviest southbound local traffic, he pointed out that the vexing nrnhlAm of tttandees annlied to this point only between 7:40 imd 9:20 in any great degree. At the 86th st. station the south oouno local service Hiiuweu stanneea only during 20 minute periods throughout the entire 2 4 hours. At the 23d st.

station, southbound local, the Interborough observers were unable to discover any standees at all. Mr. Hedley submitted figures as rroof of his assertion. jvcwafauiuic. vim ivrtMi 1 1 dimming as Sitting.

Mr. Hedley made way for Georee Keegan, his transportation assistant for years, who proceeded to explain the chart in further detail. Mr. -Keegan's first success was to add another new word to the glossary of sub-wav terms when he described local passengers wnu iransierreu at ine nrsi express point to save time in reaching a destination beyond as "rotating standers. In commenting on overload conditions, Mr.

Keegan rather startled the commission oy asserting tne various (State Public Service commissions, including that of the 2d District New York State, had regarded a 100 percent overload during the rush hour peak, or as many people standing as were sitting, as reasonable. This was questioned by Gen. John I'. O'Ryan and Mr. Shearn, but he stuck to his guns that it was prevailing transportation practice.

"I predict it won't be by this Com-tnlssion," retorted Mr. Shearn. Corporation Counsel John P. O'Brien also leaped into the breach lth the comment: "That's why the people want these Public Service Commissions abolished." Possibly forshadowing some of the terms Of the expected orders from the Commission for improvements of the Interborough service, Gen. O'Ryan brought out the feasibility of increasing the 24 trains operated on local lines each 20 minutes of the period of the rush hour to 32 trains.

The Commissioner said this would erely put the local service on a par with the express service, the headway on the latter being 1 minute and 48 seconds, whereas the local headway is 2 minutes.

Woodsmen Offered $5,000 to Swear Against Banker's Wife, Witness Testifies. Montreal, April 12 Severe cross-examination awaited the full-blooded Indian, Louis Beauvais, father of the guide. Fred Beaivais, when trial of the Stillman divorce case' was resumed here today. Yesterday the Indian parents defended their- eon and Mrs. Anne U.

Still-man against the charges of misconduct made by James A. Stillman, New York banker, who alleged in suing for divorce that they had misbehaved in the Quebec woods and that Fred Beauvais was the father of little Guy Stillman. By their testimony, Fred's father and mother sought to show it would have been impossible for workmen at the Stillman summer camp near Grande Anse, Quebec, to have drawn aside roller curtains and peeped at Beauvais and Mrs. Stillman in the bedrooms of the lodge. They said there were no roller is rtains on the windows at tnai lime he summer of 1918.

Sirs. Beauvais, however, was declared to have been un certain on this point. There were other points of difference between their statements and those of their neighbors who more than a. year ago testified against Mrs. The neighbors swore that Mrs.

Stillman and Beauvais occupied adjoining rooms In the lodge and that the Stillman children Anne, Alexander and James slept in tents outside. Mr. and Mrs. Beauvais said there were no tents on the place at that time. The children and Mrs.

Stillman occupied rooms on the ground floor, they said, and Beauvais slept upstairs. Counsel for Mrs. Stillman called several French-Canadians today to batter down evidence alleged to show she misconducted herself in various places along the St. Maurice Valley. Others were summoned to support charges that attempts to bribe witnesses to tell of such improprieties were made by J.

Albert Lafontaine. alleged representative of Mr. Stillman. Shef Slmand testified he overheard Dafontalne offer To pay $5,000 to two workmen, Ferdinand Page and Harry Grennon, if they would swear they had seen wrongful conduct, by Mrs. Stillman and Beauvais.

Page and Grennon testified, in New Y'ork that they had peeped through windows and keyholes at the Stillman camp in 1919, and seen Mrs. Stillman improperly conducting herself with Beauvais. Another defense witness. Arnnind Page, said Lafontaine offered him "two of three thousand dollars" for similar testimony, but he refused. CHOW TZU-CHI APPOINTED ACTING PREMIER OF CHINA Teking, April 12 (by the Associated Press)-1 Announcement was made today of the appointment of Chow Tzft-Chi, prominent Chinese financier and former Minister of Finance, as acting Premier in the absence of Liang Shih-Yi, who has been on "leave of absence" for several weeks.

Chow Tzu-Chi's appointment, it was explained, is necessarily temporary, since Premier Liang Shih-Yi thus fur -has not resigned. Liang Shih-Yi's leave expires ten days hence, but it is regarded as unlikely that he will resume his place an head of the Cabinet unless the opposition of General Wu l'ei-Fu, Inspector- General of Hunan nnd Hupeh, to Liang's recent action in pardoning tho Anfu leaders who took refuge in the Japanese legation upon being driven out of office last year can be overcome. General Wu T'ei-Fu's attitude toward the uow appointee has not been indicate, ltit it is believed here that he has b'ii consulted and that he has given Tils consent to Chow's appoint ment. "PUBLIC BE DAMNED" POLICY TRACED TO U. S.

RAIL CONTROL Washington, April 12 Another prominent railroad official, Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the South ern Pacific board, appeared today be fore the Senate" Interstate Commerce Committee and vigorously denied statements by William G. McAdoo, former director general, that the rail roads had "broken down" under private operations and were returned to their owners by the Government in as good condition as when taken over. "Two bad features that stood out prominently In the Government operation of railroads and which were responsible for most of its shortcomings and subjected It to most criticism," said Mr. Kruttschnitt, "were extreme centralization of authority, established by the Hist director, Mr. McAdoo, and attributable to his temperament and unwillingness to delegate adequate and necessary power to his local officers, and excessive and unintelligent standardization.

"To the first must be attributed the destruction of morale and discipline; the teaching of Labor to ignore and condemn their officers and to look to Washington to save them from pun-isment for neglect of duty and breaches of discipline, for increases of pay and indirect increases for services never performed and double pay for the same hours of service, all of which produced poor setvice and indifference to the public. 'The public be damned" policy, unjustly and improperly accredited to private railroad management, was inaugurated and worked to such an undreamed degree that at, the end of the war the return i of railroads to private management was demanded by who used them with substantial unanimity." Mr. Kruttschnitt declared that Mv McAdoo, during Federal control, "placed his name on everything and everywhere, such as service blanks, menus, commutation a. id railroad tickets and even on circulars and notices posted in the toilets ot passenger vehicles." CREEK CROWN PRINCESS' CONDITION ALARMING London, April 12 The condition of Princess Elizabeth, wife of Crown Prince George, of Greece, is causing anxiety, says a Central News dispatch from Athens, dated Tuesday.

There were many pistol shots fired, and the peo ple in me vicinity were aroused. AVhile they were looking for the fugitives Mrs. Goldman screamed out of her window that one of the burglars had been at her door. She had been frightened when a rough looking, stockily built young man had pleaded with her to save him from the police, and she banged the door in his face. The police went into the house and fotind their man in the hallway.

He had dodged through a door which he had guessed led to the scuttle to the roof, but which proveed to be a blind storeroom, without any exit other than the door. There he was trapped, and there the starching policemen found him. One) of Burglars Caught. Dragged from his hiding place, he was at once identified by Stenzi as the man who had tried to kill him by shooting at him twice. The prisoner was searched, but no revolver wa3 found on him.

It was apparent that he had abandoned it in his frantic efforts to escape. He described himself as John Kaluzi, a native of Russia, 26 years old, and 10 years in the country. The police records showed that he had been arrested once before for burglary and had been discharged; once ns a material witness in a murder case and once for dealing in narcotics and using them. For that he had been sent to the penitentiary for four months and he has been at liberty but a few weeks. He is a dull-looking type of a class that has been giving tho police a lot of trouble, and ho was baleful-eyed and sullen under the questioning of Captain McCloskcy of the detective bureau today.

I He told the detective captain that he had gone with a "Polish man" to Borough Park yesterday to get a Turkish bath, and that he had left the man In the bath and was on his way to his home at 246 Eldridge Man hattan, when he was arrested. After being exhibited at the morn ing line-up he was taken to the Flatbush Court, where three charges were made against him. He is accused of attempted felonious assault by shooting at the policeman, of having burglars' tools in his possession and with burglary- Tho city mill threw out from its hopper burglaries, robberies, felonious assaultn and a mysterious shooting.

Sticking out prominently from among the activities of thi underworld element in the. past 24 hours were the following crimes: The capture, early today, after an excitine chase in which 20 shots were lired of two men who, it is asserted, entered the loft of B. Heller, a silk merchant in the loft building at 31 K. 27th st. The capture was made after a cordon of patrolmen and detectives had been thrown about the block.

The chase led up the fire escape of the Hotel Senton. at 38 E. 27th st. Detectives followed them, not only up the fire escape, but the stairways and the elvator, and when the two were brought to bay they found them selves gazing at the muzzles of drawn revolvers in the hands of two patrolmen.

The man opened the door and rushed at O'Learv with a razor. He was knocked down with a hard swinging blow on the jaw. He described himself as James Desabe, 19, of 7 0 Sherman Long Ihland City. Peter Leone, 22. of 255 E.

'Tou saw no garbage and ashes mixed," insisted Deputy Commissioner Michael Laura today. "You may have seen refuse.

We. put oil 50 percent more carts in the Brownsville district, have been working Mouble shift for the last week and in a day or two will be all cleaned up." In spite of Commissioner Laura's claim that the situation is bad only so far as non-garbage, non-ash refuse lr, concerned, these spots, visited last night, revealed garbage and ashes reposing odoriferously unacr the moonlit canopy of night: Christopher ave. and Sackman between Liberty and Pitkin aves. Hopklnson from East Xcw York ave. to Pitkin ave.

The district for inspection was chosen on chance. One block and a pair of keen nostrils led the garbage-ashes hunter to these spots and further. At the northeast corner of Walkins st. and Glenmore ave. lay the 3-day exposed carcass of an Alabama honey hound.

Every motorcar passing near the curb went over the body. Across the street those thirsting for knowledge passed in and out of the public library, sniffing in distress. At the Brownsville police station it was said the dead dog had been reported and would be removed immediately. This morning tho body still lay in the gutter. A dead cat sprawled in the gutter in front of 38 Glenmore nve.

Another dead dog, very dead, lay in the roadway at Stone ave. and Pacific st. In front of a shop at 2392 Atlantic ave. a dead goaf offended the neighboring atmosphere. In six crates, six kids per crate, bleated their goats lament on the sidewalk.

Dr. Herman T. Peck, assistant sanitary inspector, said today that while strictly speaking, it was not up to the Board of Health to remove garbage and ashes, the department was deeply Interested. "The ordinance prohibiting the mixing ashes with garbage is one of the best on the city's books," he said. "Ashes are being used to fill in mosquito-breeding ponds in the boro.

If garbage is mixed up with ashes we merely switch from mosquitoes to flies." Residents in the neighborhoods visited explained the accumulation of refuse, of all descriptions by saying simply: "We put it out. ''Why don't they come for it?" The- police, it is reported, have been handing out. summonses in profusion to Brownsville householders. The "tickets" call for explanations of mixing garbage and ashes.

The arrival of the note cn the opening day of the Genoa conference is not suspected of being more than fortuitous. It looks as if it was a timed effort of the Germans to force the issue into the conference. It is a fact the reparations commission is placed in a perplexing position.

DEATH THREATENED BY 'OTHER MRS. JACOBS SAYS According to the story of his wife, Mrs. Rose Jacobs, Louis A. Jacobs, a Prohibition Enforce- I ment officer, who was indicted on a charge ot accepting a bribe and was released on a technicality, is more than friendly with a woman named Lillian Davis, who lives on Riverside Drive, has an expensive motorcar, and entertains lavishly. Mrs.

Jacobs is suing for separation hi fore Justice Dike in Supreme. Court. She. asked today that Jacobs be compelled to pay $50 a week alimony and counsel fees. -Mrs.

Jacobs, in her petition, alleges thbt Jacobs and the Davis woman lived for months at 1131 President Jacobs posing at "Max Davis. While they were in Brooklyn, the wife charges, they boasted to her of the great regard for each other and the Davis woman telephoned to her at all hours or the night to taunt her with information reearding her husband. Mrs. Jacobs had the telephone taken out. Then, she alleges, liie Uavis woman called neighbors and had them send for her, only to tell her that she and Jacobs were enjoying themselves immensely.

They threatened to have her railroaded to an asylum, the wife alleges. The Davis woman also threatened to kill her, Mrs. Jacobs says. Jacobs had a fat bank account, the wife declares, and had given her money out of which she had saved $4,350. He took this from her to buy a house, but changed his mind, she and told her he had spent it on the Davis woman and that she, the wife, was too old and ugly longer to interest him.

Mrs. Jacobs told the Court that after her husband was indicted in Buffalo he spent $20,000 in lawyer's fees to have the indictment upset. Jacobs' lawyer told Justice Dike that the storv as to his income and expenditures was greatly exaggerated, but that the prohibition agent had given his wife $25 a week. He described Lillian Davis as a "decoy" used by Jacobs to lure bootleggers into a trap. The Jacobs couple have a daughter 14 years old.

Official Referee Lester W. Clark was designated by Justice Dike to look into Jacobs' financial affairs.

court today held six men, charged with attempted burglary, for the Grand Jury. The accused were Julius Comfort, Salvatore Caffe, Joseph Di Georgi, Marino Mauro, Joseph Russo and Angelo who were arrested early on the morning of April 8 by Patrolman Richard Duffy of the Butler st. precinct after, it is alleged, they had tried to break their wav into the I'nlted States bonded storehouse at 163 Pacific st.

He has abused the confidence of the city placed on him in giving him the permit, and so I think heavy bail should be asked in his case. I would suggest $5,000.

Hulbert knocked the Chamber when the tatter's unemployment resolution was presented to the board, the Mayor joining in the general denunciation. Mr. Williams points out that the Chamber has not repudiated the Hylan scheme of a tunnel under the Narrows, as charged by Hulbert. although the Chamber hss approved the general plan of the Port Authority.
