Kotz tried to bring up the matter nf the $150,000 loan the B. M. T. had made the Twin Coach, but Commissioners Godley and Fullen Insisted that he stick othe price of the buses. "Do I take It that the Commission is not Interested in the loan?" "Ask your questions and we'll rule on them," Godley retorted.

"Any fisherman will tell you a good place to Ash is around an old wrerk." Kotz applied the match to the powder when he Intimated the franchise had not been obtained by methods that were "on the up and up." "I have heard this outrageous Insinuation," flamed Shearn, "marie by Mr. Kotz and aperson named Blan-shard.

But you must not allow yourself to be made a of the King Coach Company or Mr. Flannery's company to prevent operation of buses so that they get the rest of the Summer business. "You are merely delaying bus operation in Brooklyn and denying the people proper service.

Lockwood, his fare lobster-red with anger yelled: "We are not delaying operation." "Yes. you are," Shearn came back ''You have delayed It 24 hours already.

"I object, I object," shouted Kotz "You sit down when I tell you or you won't stay In this room," thundered Chairman Fullen banging his gavel, and his words were csarcely audible because Shearn was shouting back to Kotz.

Delays As Disloyal' One Paper Would End Concordat, Saying It Was Broken by Pope By ROMULUS Special Correspondence ot The Eagle Rome, July 13 The lirst visible of Fascist reaction to the recent papal encyclical have appeared at last after a long silence. These sins are still confined to comments of the press, the aovernment In the meantime maintaining an apparent indifference Following the editorial on the subject in Popolo dltalia.

the comments, though altogether critical and hostile, are moderate In tone. Not one of the organs of the government has attempted to present even a brief summary of the en-syclical. The people of Italy would even now in their great majority remain In Ignorance of the main features of the papal document, if it had not hern distributed in the churches last Sunday. Monday and Tuesday For the first time the press does not content itselt with printing the stereotyped stuff that Is handed out by the governmental publicity bureau In the Palazzo Viminale. The plainest language is that of the Oiornale d'ltaila, the Roman evening paper, whose editor has often been inspired by the head of the state.

Questions Concordat This Journal questions the advantage of continuing the concordat "because the Vatican has violated its spirit. The Vatican has only so fht to draw material advantages from the agreement between church and state and has made a weaoon of the concordat in a fight against Fascist Italy." All the papers denounce what they describe as the "disloyalty of the Vatican in making an international issue out what is a purely domestic affair." Fascism is evidently impressed by the echo the papal message has found throughout the world. There is an obvious tendency to wait for the storm to blow over before taking a new decisive step in the controversy with the Vatican. For the present a retreat in good order seems the best strategy. This does not mean that the regime has even in the -lightest degree modified its program for a decisive battle with the papal forces Not a single one of the Fascist Journals has attempted to meet the bi issues presented in the encyclical.

The papal allegations of a reign of terror in Italy, of the suppression ol every form nf civil and religious freedo' of continued acts of vio- lence. of the habitual opening of private correspondence have been Ignored, but not dcr.ied. These conditions have long been notorious to all who live in Italy, hut there were always admirers of Fascism and its leader 4" foreign countries who "ignorant of what they were most assured" persisted In the belief that the benevolent despotism of Mussolini was a blessing for the country. Await Premier's Action It is quite possible that there may be a sudden backstairs settlement Italian ristory is rich In this kind of diplomatic trumphs, but men who are on the ryound and know the temper In both camps feel that Mussolini, whatever he may say today or tomorrow, will strike back hard nt the very first opportunity and he has been known to create such op -rtunities In months of patient labor. There is a blacklist of antl-Fas-eist prelates now in the hands of the o.

V. R. secret political police. Heading this blacklist, it is reported. Is the name of the Bishop of Padua, Ella dalla Costa, one of the important suffragans of the patriarchate of Venice.

But a short time ago Mussolini, In one of his public speeches, made this remarkable comment on the methods of himself and his system: "It Is well known now," he said, "that whenever Fascism conducts a battle with determination, it leaves nothing behind it but the desert."

Seabury Urges Jail for Doyle Continued From Page 1 Presiding Justice Finch and Justices McAvoy, Martin, O'Malley and Sherman. When Falk had finished his defense of Doyle, Seabury shouted: "Who is Doyle trying to hide? Who are the bribe-takers he is shielding? That is what we want to know. That's what the Stale wants to know." Courtroom Crowded An overflow crowd stormed the appelate division edifice half an hour before the proceedings began ljjvery seat in the stained glass marble and mahogony courtroom was taken. More than 100 milled about the corridors to be shushed constantly by attendants. The former veterinarian's attorney's phrases flowed freely about constitutional rights, presumably Doyles, and the rigor with which this should be upheld.

"Public clamor and Insidious Insinuations have no part In a court of law," Falk exclaimed, exclaimed. "This case must be decided on merits, and when it is, I am sure that the order of the court will bp set aside." Court Calls for Farts "Then let's get rid of the generality," interjected presiding Jus tice Finch, "and get down to the statement of facts and the merits Falk straightaway switched onto the track of Doyle's trouble, taking up the events of the past week In chronological order. He Interspersed his history with arguments and reading of court decislo: s. His only concession was the right of the legislative committee to Investigate. But.

his contention was. probers can only have the testimony of willing witnesses. Then Falk argued that the court should pass Judgment separately on each of the dozen or so question Doyle balked at answering. Such a procedure would keep the court in session several weeks. The Bench made no response to the suggestion.

See Two Issues "Now we come down to the two issues In this case," Falk went on "First, has the committee the right to gram immunity? I deny that. "Second, even If the committee has the right, roes Section 381 (Penal Code 1 to this case? 1 don't find th it it does." The section, which promises the bribe-giver immunity trom being punished In exchange for nis testi mony, was stressed In Justire Mark's findings and sentence on Doyle. Reads Many Derisions Falks table was littered with books, paper and folios from which he read a string of decisions and excerpts running from Great Britain to California and back nearly to Revolutionary days. "I say," asserted Falk, "that before a wltnesa be sent to Jail for refusing to answer questions under doubtful Immunity he should be allowed to be heard In every court in the State with Jurisdiction." At Justice's Finch's request Falk explained his stand. "The Legislature has not the right to change the lnw by resolution." he asserted.

"We must observe constitutional procedure."

"The Legislature Is Investigating the corruption bribery and Inefficiency In the clty'sdrpartments that statutes may be passed sto stamp out the condl'inns," Seabury went on. In clear, precise tones, Seabury related the steps that led to Doyle 1 predicament. He aubmittcd the proof on the record of Doyle's phe-nomlnal success before the Zoning Board, the more thun $1,000,000 In fees that were paid him, Doyle's practise of demanding a part of his fees In readily transferable rash, and Doyle's several refusals fees.

Seabury also stressed Doyle o- parture to New Jersey when the inquiry got undtr way, and informed the court that It was only through the co-operation of United States Attorney Medalie that the ex-horse doctor was questioned at all. Hits at Silence "Doyle has denied that he bribed members of the Board of Standards and Appeal," Seabury related, "but he refuses to tell what other officials and politicians he bribed on the grounds that he might be Incriminated." The greater part of Seaburys argument was devoted to showing the Court that the Immunity offered Doyle cannot be upset. He ridiculed Faik's assertions that Doyle, by answering the prober questions, might have Involved himself In other matters beside bribery. say to you," Seabury addressed the court In conclusion, "It is your duty to the people to uphold the authority of the legislative committee and adjudge this witness in contempt. It a higher court Is asked to review your verdict, it will have ample opportunity to do so." Folk received 10 more minutes for further argument after 8eabury had concluded 50 minutes.
