Mi THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, MONDAY, JULY 7, 1924. 3 CLEVELAND FIGHT TODAY HINGES ON 3D PARTY ISSUE Hours of Debate Expected on Endorsing La Follette as Independent. Cleveland, Opio, July 7 (By the Associated Press)-The Socialist party of America went into the second day of its national convention here confronted with the task of debating and voting upon a report from a committee of 15 recommending that it indorse the Independent PresiVential candidacy of Senator Robert M. La Follette.

The committee voted 13 to 2 to make this on recommendation. The fact that it was composed of outstanding leaders of the party, selected by the convention yesterday from 23 delegates nominated from the floor and voted upon by the individual delegates, was considered significant of the probable outcome of the discussion. It was indicated that the debate would probably last for several hours. Opponents of the plan were prepared to argue against the report from every possible angle, and it was announced there would be no attempt to shut off debate. Upon the vote, when it comes, will depend whether the party shall enlist with La Follette and fail to nominate a national ticket for the first time since its organization, or continue its regular course and seek votes for candidates of its own choosing.

Morris Hillquit, New York, and Victor Berger, Congressman from Milwaukee, will be leaders of the fight for the committee report. They sat in the Convention last Friday and Saturday of the Conference for Political Action and concurred there in the report that indorsed La Follette for the Presidency, postponed a Vice Presidential nomination and provided, for the political organization party of next a January. Other members of the Socialist Convention at the Progressives gathering included Daniel Hoan, Mayor of Milwaukee. He ca came to Cleveland opposed to indorsement of an independent candidate and urging immediate organization of a new party to conduct the 1924 campaign. today his views were expressed as follows: "A new party is in existence in all but name.

It is a party for three reasons: First, a party title of some sort nrust be chosen to put La Follette on the ticket; second, State organizations must be formed for campaign purposes; third, a definite pledge has been given to organize a party after the election. All that is members" is to educate party to these facts." $15,000 MORE ASKED BY SPENCE IN PROBE OF GRAFT IN NASSAU Deputy Attorney General Says Investigation Has So Far Cost About $29,000. (Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. July 7-The Nassau County graft investigation, which resulted in the conviction of Mayor William H. Reynolds of Long Beach and four other officials, has cost the county so far about $29,000, according to an oral report, made to the Board of Supervisors today by Special Deputy Attorney General Kenneth M.

Spence, who conducted the investigation. Mr. Spence asked for an appropriation of $15,000 to additional the investigation this fall. Of the original $25.000 appropriated last March, there remains only a balance of $2,276.82, with Spence's three associate counsel Timothy M. Pfeiffer, Louis White and Charles J.

McDermott still unpaid. Mr. Spence intimated their fees would not exceed a toal of $6,000. On the motion of Supervisor Wilbur Doughty, Republican leader of Nassau County, it was decided to have Mr. Spence submit a written report next week and action will deferred until the board can consult with counsel.

Mr. Spence submitted a copy of a report from the County Controllor's office showing that claims already audited and paid amount to $22.723.18. Claims presented but not audited total $9.569.79, of which $9,000 is for Mr. Spence's services at the rate of about $3,000 a month or $100 a day. SUBWAY CRITICISM PROPAGANDA-HYLAN Mayor Hylan today sent the following letter to John H.

Delaney, chairman of the Board of Transportation: new Board of Transportation should watch carefully the insidious methods employed by the B. M. T. in its attempts to mislead the people and to cudgel public officials into favoring the Brooklyn crosstown subway to tie up to both ends of the B. M.

T. This plan means raising $2,500,000 in the budget each year for taxpayers to pay. In addition to that the profits of the proposed crosstown subway with a $44,000,000 expenditure of public funds are to go into the pockets of the B. M. T.

"I called the Board's attention particularly to the vicious propaganda of the B. R. T. through the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, headed by one of its directors, Arthur S. Somers, and through The Brooklyn Eagle, some of the principal men of which are stockholders in the old B.

R. T. "The Eagle had the effrontery to approach school children in my neighborhood in order to get them to make statements against city officials. I have absolute proof of this contemptible move. Now they are using clergymen to lend an air of respectability to their sinister schemes and to force Brooklyn officials to violate their oaths of office by a betrayal of the confidence of the people for the benefit of the traction interests.

This is most unfortunate. I greatly deplore that clergymen can be used by traction propagandists and traction directors as catspaws for pulling the chestnuts of the traction interests out of the fire." APPRAISALS STEPHEN C.

Turk. Three Blond Indians From Darien Brought Here by Richard O. Marsh Richard 0. Marsh, the American explorer, arrived in New York yesterday aboard the S.S. Calamares with the three blond Indians- girl and two boys he found in the wild country back of the Isthmus of ama.

The Indians are said by Marsh to be specimens of the "white Indians" sought for months in the jungles of Southeastern Panama. "White Indians" Detained At Ellis Island; Marvels Of City Fail to Thrill Trio Three "white Indians" from the jungles of Panama, bewildered and puzzled at the complexities of Americivilization, wait at Ellis Island today while immigration officials, preparing bonds for their release, go through formalities 10,000 years beyond their comprehension. The three arrived United Fruit liner Calamares yesterday in care of Richard O. Marsh, their discoverer and temporary guardian. Quarters had been reserved for them at the Waldorf-Astoria, but they failed to pass the barrier at Ellis Island and were detained there over night while arrangements were made to file bonds of $500 each as a guaranty against their becoming public charges.

When the three little savages enter the Waldorf-Astoria today they will be inconspicuous in the throng of politicians which crowds the corridors of the hotel. They accoutered in the garb of evil civilization and, though ignorant of the English language and the intricacies of the 20th Century scheme, they show little amazement. So casually do they take us, our buildings, our transit, that they seem almost blase. Look Like Albinos. At first glance the three look like Albinos and are therefore slightly disappointing.

All three have golden white hair, hazel eyes, white skin which reddens rather than tans under the sun, white eyelashes and REBELS IN MOROCCO DEFEAT SPANIARDS Casualties by Spanish Troops Shelling Own Fighters. Madrid, July 7-A serious situation in the Lau region of Morocco, with the Spaniards suffering heavy losses, is pictured in official information given to the public. The Spanish casualties, it is announced, exceed 400, many of which were caused by the shelling of their own troops in the confusion of fighting at close quarters. The Cabinet discussed the crisis for three hours last night, and Gen. Primo De Rivera, head of a the military government, conferred by telegraph with General Aizpuru, the High Commissioner in Morocco.

The rebel forces are large and, in the language of the official announcement, "hold all the heights, commanding our positions with an abundance of ammunition, making it necessary for our troops to fight for each height with corresponding difficuities." King Alfonso will return to Madrid on Wednesday for a conference, at which it will be decided whether General Rivera will go to Morocco to take charge of the operations against the native tribesmen. An official communique issued today announced that the Spanish troops which had been besteged at Kobadarsa for several days had been relieved and were re-entering Ceuta. The relief was obtained after a brilliant bayonet charge by the relieving troops, during which the natives were severely punished. London, July 7-The advance forces of the column of General Navarro, commander of the Spanish forces Melilla, Morocco, after three days of fighting, surrounded and occupied Kobadarsa yesterday afternoon, according to a news agency dispatch from Madrid. The enemy was said to have suffered heavy losses.

FLAG BURNED IN SMALL GARDEN FIRE As the 79th ballot was being taken in Madison Square Garden today the only excitement that occurred was a small fire which broke out in second balcony to the right of the grandstand. A large American flag, one of many which decorated the balcony rail. suddenly burst into flames. Detective John McLoughlin of the Bergen st. station, Brooklyn, assigned to duty in the Garden, ripped the flag from its fastenings and trampled on it.

The blaze attracted the attention of those on the floor and many women stood open-mouthed watching the detective. Detective McLoughlin was slightly burned on both hands but refused medical attention. The fire, was presumably started by some one dropping a lighted cigar or cigarette from the gallery above. AQUEDUCT SCRATCHES First race-Wine Jug, Golden Wings. Second race-Herriard.

Tokio Ballroom 'Invasion" Work of Young Thugs-Had No Bearing on Exclusion Act By ALFRED E. PIERES. (Special Correspondent of The Eagle.) Tokio, June 11-It has now been proved that the so-called "invasion" of the ballroom of the Imperial Hotel during the regular Saturday night dance on June 7 was merely a farce, engineered by a gang of young thugs masquerading as patriots. It was planned to play upon the ignorance of foreigners. The irresponsible youths who queraded as patriots have succeeded beyond their most sanguine expectations, if one may judge from cables received here telling of the headlines carried by British and American newspapers.

This is exactly what these youngsters wanted to secure, according to confessions made to the police, who have the whole gang under lock and key. They were aided by some of the foreign correspondents, who lost their nerve and could not size the situation in its proper perspective and proportion. The hotel management has decided not have any further dances for a time, and these "patriots" have thus been enabled to stick another feather in their caps. Although the wisdom of the decision of the management is not to be questioned, it is not only the Americans and other foreigners who suffer through this temporary interdiction of dancing in the Imperial Hotel, but also many Japanese who looked forward to these functions for some pleasant re- laxation. Need for Temperance.

Feeling is still tense, though; but there are already ample indications of the fever-heat of anger having passed its zenith. The students here -like the Chinese students feel that on their slender shoulders depends the wiping out of the "insult" suffered by Japan, and they continue, and will continue, to make demonstrations and indulge in soapbox orations. I have listened to several of these. The main theme was that American goods should be boycotted. There is an element of drama in street-corner harangues, however, and the dramatic attracts youths and the more bovine, intellectually, of the grownups.

The gatherings listening to the fulminations of the student-orators were for the most part composed of students themselves and of the lower classes. Agitators Refrain From Drinking. One notable feature of the agitation is that those participating have PARK DEPARTMENT HELPLESS IN WAR ON CATERPILLARS Only 28 Men Available for Spraying Trees-Situation Expected to Grow Worse. The caterpillar army has invaded Brooklyn in far greater numbers and with much more capacity for damage than ever before, and the Park Department is helpless against their attack. That is the situation facing the boro, according to Inspector Philip Lynch, in charge of the tree spraying brigade of the Department of Parks.

He said that the influx was caused by last week's electric storm, which drove them out of the trees after they had already gone back to their cocoons. And if the hot spell continues, Mr. Lynch added, it will drive the hosts of caterpillar larvae from their cocoons and August will see a new caterpillar invasion of even greater magnitude and destruction. "But we can't do a thing about it." said Mr. Lynch, hopelessly.

"We have only 28 men to spray the trees, and they can't even begin to cope with the situation in the small Stuyvesant section, where the epidemic is at the worst. The Board of Estimate will not give us any money to protect the trees." Mr. Lynch was asked what he would advise people whose trees are being ruined insects to do about the matter. "The only thing they can a do is to see their aldermen and demand that an appropriation be authorized to save the trees," he said. "We ought to have at least 100 men, or, better, double that number, to fight this nuisance.

But concerted action on the part of citizens is the only hope I can see of saving the trees." An Eagle reporter, in a tour of the Stuyvesant section today, found the complaints of residents of that district are completely justined. There appear to be too many of the black and yellow striped insects to find abodes in the trees, and the surplus runs, roams and sprawls all over the sidealks, stoops, windows and screenings of homes. In front of many homes, the insects dangle on their webs about face high over the sidewalks, making walking in this section very disagreeable and almost impossible at night. The office of the Park Department, Mr. Lynch said, is besieged with hundreds of calls daily complaining of the damage done by the insects, and while most of these calls come from the Bedford, Stuyvesant and Bushwick sections, every part of the boro is complaining.

In comparison with the trees on the restdential streets. Mr. Lynch stated, those in Prospect Park have been fortunate avoiding the insects. He said he feared, however, that these trees would not be overlooked long by the invading army. The pure extraction from Italy's finest Olives OLIVE OIL DISTRIBUTED SOLELY- IN U.S.A.

Dancing in Tokio is not by any means at a complete stop.

I went other day to a cabaret behind the Ginza. Tokio's main shopping street, and found things just 35 usual. In fact, there were more people than ordinarily there. The Japanese were by far in the majority, but there were also British, French and one Hollander. Americans Not Wanted.

At the entrance was posted a notice: "American ladies and gentlemen will please oblige by not entering." The puerility of the agitators and the absurd lengths to which they are trying to go--lengths that are already bringing trouble on themselves from their own countrymenwas strikingly borne on me yesterday as I was riding in a street car. In walked a coy Japanese maiden attired in Occidental clothes. As the car proceeded a couple of youths walked up to her and demanded to know whether she was a Japanese woman. "Certainly," was her reply. "Why do you then wear American clothes? Why not wear kimono?" was the next question.

"How do you know these are American clothes?" she flashed back. "These may be French, English, Italian. What do you know about clothes, anyway?" The motorman shut off the power, the conductor came where the debate was going on and all in the car listened attentively to the verbal passage at arms between the fair passenger and the two husky youths. Then another young man stepped forward, walked up to the two and asked: "What clothes are you wearing, anyway?" was no reply. These two pestering "patriots" were also clad in Occidental garments, and the rescuer of Beauty from the "patriot beasts" appealed to the passengers to prevent such displays of stupidity as would made Japan the laughing stock of the whole world.

The passengers saw the point and Armly, yet politely ejected the two young men. The conductor, with a twinkle of humor in his eyes, gave them each a transfer ticket. "Come Back Next Year," Says Cropsey, "and We'll Discuss the Mayoralty" Supreme Court Justice James C. Cropsey was "interviewed" today about the propaganda being circulated by the Democratic Voters League, the identity of which organization could not be learned, booming him for Mayor of New York City. "Are you going to run mayoralty candidates this year?" asked the judge, giving a good imitation of surprise.

"'This surely can't for last term." "Oh, no, judge," said the "interviewer," nervously. "This is for next "Come back next year and maybe we will talk about it then." answered the judge, with his best Monday morning smile. POLICE SEEK YOUTH INDICTED IN BANK THEFT; HAS $20,000 J. T.

The residents in the vicinity of Henderson Bowl, at Nostrand ave. and Sterling where the Nostrand Athletic Club holds weekly boxing bouts, today asked Justice Cropsey in special term of the Supreme Court for an immediate trial of the injunction suit in which they have so far failed to win relief in preliminary skirmishes, and came out with a partial victory, for the case was set down for trial July 21. This eliminates at least part of the delay due to summer court adjournment. "What is the question of fact to be decided in this case?" asked Justice Cropsey, while the lawyers skirmished for legal advantage. "The existence of the place itself or the manner in which it is conducted, that they make too much You should know that I am an enthusiast on boxing." "Nevertheless, we would like to try this case before you," said George W.

Tucker, counsel for the neighbors who are objecting to the presence of Henderson Bowl. "Well, I suppose I'll have to get a ticket and go down there and find out about it," said Justice Cropsey. Abraham Lehman, counsel for the fight club, said that he has important legal engagements forthwith and that Charles L. Henderson is so busy managing the fight club that he should not be rushed into trial at once. Easy, Says Cropsey.

"You don't know as much as I do about running those things." Justice Cropsey came back. "It is the easiest thing in the world." Mr. Tucker asked Justice Cropsey to sign subpenas so he could bring officials and documents from the Boxing Commission, the Board of Standards and Appeals and other bodies. "What do you need with those?" said Justice Cropsey. "I promise you It won't take long to try the issues in this case.

Already she has learned to use the vanity case which she carries.
