High jinks by high officials, whose names may be mentioned later, supposed to have taken place at "private parties" held in private apartments at the Woodmansten Inn, on Williamsbridge road, were revealed today in affidavits filed by Mrs. Louise S. Pani with Justice Lazansky in Supreme Court, who awarded her $100 a week alimony pending trial of the suit for divorce she brought against Joseph L.

Pant, proprietor of the Inn. It was in explaining to the court why she had to leave Woodmansten Inn and separate from her husband that Mrs. Pant mentioned these "orgies," for which her apartments were turned over, she swore in her affidavit. Herman L. Roth, attorney for Mrs.

Pani, declared that he knew who these officials were and that if there was any reason for mentioning their names they would not spared. Mrs. Pani was known on the stage AS Louise Alexander, pantomime dancer. couple were married last year at. Greenwich, Conn.

The case will be tried at Mincola within a few weeks. COATS, NOT STAMPED, PASSED TO PACKERS IN KENYON CO. PLANT Witness at Fraud Trial Can't Tell How Uninspected Goods Reached Him. erly folded." Loose Coats on Top. "Where were the loose coats, be- At the Kenyon trial today before P'ederal Judge Thomas Ives Chatfield, Louis Rosenberg, one of the defendant employees, six years a packer at the Atlantic avenue plant of the Kenyon company, told under crossexamination by Prosecutor Isaac Oeland of an occasion when between 50 and 15 coats without any sort of stamp mysteriously appeared one mornifig on the packer's table.

According to the witness, before he left at night, he made a record of bundled and loose coats. When he arrived in the morning he would compare his tally with that kept by Chief Inspector Radcliffe. On the day in question, some time in June, Rosenberg testified that cliffe said to him, "Your record agrees with mine as to number of bundles, but does not "tally on the loose coats." I and the inspector counted the coats and found that had Detween 50 to 75 more than he. We looked over the coats and found that the difference between our tallies was made up of coats bearing no inspector's stamp. The coats were not prop- tween good ones?" inquired tor Oeland.

"No, on top," answered witness. No light was shed on where the coats came from. Rosenberg also made another statement that interested the prosecution. declared that on one occasion, he could not fix the date, he went to work a fortnight in the Pacific st. building, of which the defendant, Frank, Luzzi, was foreman.

He said "too busy while working there to look for even the inspector's which he always looked for, he testified, "when working at his regular place." He admitted he looked for the size of the coats, and Juror No. 7, Robert V. Mar. tin, asked: "Did you consider the size more important than the inspector's stamp?" "I left the matter of the stamp to the girls." answered the witness. needed the size to properly bundle them." "Did Luzzi instruct you not to look for the inspector's stamp?" asked Oeland.

The witness answered negatively. the Rosenberg removal also from shed the more cellar. on on 01 ders from Shipping Clerk Henry Hede, of the 960 defective garments placed 20 feet from the work table of the supposed "green" inspector, Jacob Cohen, who was Agent Pfeiffer of the Department of Justice. Rosenberg said he began work of bringing them upstairs from the cellar "after 5:30 and after the inspectors had gone home." He corroborated Hede's statement that the "cellar" space needed by another department. Then Juror No.

4-Robert F. Simpsonasked: "Was the cellar space. utilized "I do not replied the witness. Hint at Rebuttal. What may be expected in rebuttal was hinted at when Prosecutor Oeland asked the witness: "Is it not a fact that when the marshal arrested you at night at your home your wife exclaimed Wolf (superintendent of the Kenyon plant and a defendant) has got you into this trouble and he can set you that you replied to your wife, 'Yes, it is all over that old matter wihch I thought was all settled'?" The witness said he had not.

Chief counsel for the defense then brought out that the witness knew at the time that Wolf, arrested weeks before After Rosenberg, had Rosenberg, not yet earlier been cross-examination, swore he often found eyelets and button-holes missing, Juror No. 5-Harry V. Costiganasked this question: "Will you fold a coat?" The witness did, and showed how it was possible for him to notice these defects even when the coat was folded. Prosecutor Oeland questioned him sharply concerning the bundle of 20 coats he gave to the supposed "green" inspector on July 16 to inspect, all of which bore secret marks of rejection by other inspectors. "I got them from the third floor of the building in the manufacturers' room on the table where the examiners leave them," Rosenberg said.

Prosecutor Oeland then brought out that this bundle constituted all the coats on the third floor that afternoon and that, it being an Italian holiday, no one was working there at the time. Rosenberg could not explain how the defective coats got on the examiners' table. Ernest Buecher. superintendent of the Vulcan Proofing Company of 585 Dean adjoining the Kenyon plant, of Inspector Morton Clark, who Hogan da wanted to refute the testimony followed Rosenberg as a witness. Mr.

swore that he could cement between two thicknesses of raincoat But the court refused to allow the witness to measure the thickness with a micrometer. The Court next refused to permit the witness to give the water test to a raincoat in evidence. Mr. Hogan made vigorous objection to this ruling of the Court and declared that the question of the quality of the material went right to the heart of the case. But the Court ruled that the water test might not be made and the argument ended.

SOCIALIST MENACE STIRS UP MACCRATE That there is, besides the Shiplacoff-Martin-Haskell fight in East New York, another Socialist menace in the Brooklyn Congressional situation--in the Third Congress District--is the opinion of Greenpoint politicians who have been studying the progress of the contest between John MacCrate, Republican and Democratic nominee; Joseph A. Whitehorn, Socialist, and Michael Fogarty, the man the Democratic bosses are running independently. For several days MacCrate's followers have adopted the slogan "A vote for Fogarty is a vote for the Socialist" and the recent swing of events begins to make the situation serious. With a united front the old parties stood to. win against Whitehorn but the inroads of Fogarty, it is claimed, threatened to aid the Socialist.

Bets are being made in the district that Whitehorn will beat Fogarty, run close 10 MacCrate and in some instances that he will win the election. The old-timers say that the Socialists, who last year carried one of the Assembly districts in this Congress district, have increased 300 fold within the past five years, and threaten to pile up a record vote this time. MacCrate is directing his guns particularly against them. He debated with Whitehorn again last night at the Labor Lyceum, Willoughby and Myrtle aves. Pogarty, although repeated- ly challenged to debate by Whitehorn, has thus far declined to meet him.

BAR ASSOCIATION LOSES The Appellate Division today dismissed the appeal of the Brooklyn Bar Association from an order of the County Court, which had denied the 89- sociation's petition to intervene in foreclosure suit brought by Evelyn Post against Amelia E. Louis and others. Bar Association told the "The County Court that it wanted to in tervene on the ground that a title company was illegally practicing law and that the title company's attorney was acting for the plaintiff in the foreclosure suit. Justice Thomas, writing for the Appellate Division, pointed out that the Bar Association had no interest and that any judgment could not affect it in any way, that the County Court had the power to dismiss the complaint if it chose to avail itself of the association's inforamtion and that if the attorney who appeared was violating the law he could be reported to the Appellate Division and any illegal acts stayed.

London, October 31-British forces fighting east of the Piave have reached the Livenza River at cenigo and the Italians have occupied Oderzo, according to an official statement on operations in Italy issued at the War Office today. The text of the statement reads: "The advance of the Tenth Army continued without check throughout the day. British cavalry detachments, in close touch with Italian cavalry, have reached the western outskirts of Sacile.

Troops of the 14th British Corps have reached the Livenza River at Francenigo. "Further south the 11th Italian Corps has occupied Oderzo. "This advance has been gained throughout practically the entire length of the objective assigned me (the Earl of Cavan, British commander on the Piave) by his Excellency, Gen. Diaz, when he first laid his plans before me early in the days of October. The energy and determination of the infantry has been beyond all praise.

10th Army's Prisoners Exceed 12,000. "The difficulties of bridging the Piave led at first to an inevitable shortness of supplies. In spite of lack of food and sleep and in the face of constant fighting, the 37th Italian Division and the 7th and 23d British Divisions have advanced without lief their final objective.

The text of the statement reads: "Taking into account the resolve SO often expressed to bring about a conclusion of an armistice and peace, putting an end to the struggle of nations, our troops fighting on Italian soil will evacuate occupied regions.

"In the Italian theater there has been only minor fighting activity on the Tyrolean front. Between the Brenta and the Piave fresh and superior enemy forces attacked Monte Asolone and Monte Pertica. Our troops, with unexampled and soldierly faithfulness, brought all the enemy's efforts to naught. "On the Venetian plains the British and Italians thrust further forward.

RIEGELMANN PLEADS FOR CANAL AT CONEY; U.S. AID IS EXPECTED Sinking Fund Commission Hears Arguments in Favor of Big Ship Waterway. Borough President Riegelmann at today's meeting of the Sinking Fund Commission made a strong argument in favor of the adoption of Dock Commissioner Hubert's plan for the construction of the Coney Island Ship Canal, which is to be a connecting link between Gravesend Bay and Jamaica Bay.

Chief Engineer Lewis of the Board of Estimate has made an adverse report on this plan because the streets would have to be carried across the waterway at a considerable heignt not less than 30 feet. Mr. Lewis declares that public necessity would not warrant the expenditure involved. Commissioner Hulbert informed the Sinking Fund Commission chat his plan was not final, but merely a basis for a plan of action. He said that in the event of the construction of a ship.

canal binding together Gravesend Bay and Jamaica Bay, the Federal Government and not the city or the State would have to pay the cost. Mr. Riegelmann said the building of bridges over the proposed canal would cost considerable money, but that in all probability the Federal Government would stand part of this expense, "It must be borne in mind," he continued, "that the city has authorized the acquisition of the land from Gravesend Bay to Sheepshead Bay for the purpose of a drainage ditch to take care of the sewer system in that part of Brooklyn. A drainage ditch, of course, would mean os local assessment and this local assessment a would amount to more than the cost of carrying the streets over the ship canal. "The commercial advantage to the city of such a waterway will be SO great as to warrant the city bearing the expense of the necessary bridges if the Federal Government should decline to share it." Controller Craig asked Commissioner Hulbert what assurance the latter had that the Federal Government was interested in the project.

I have the assurance of Gen. Bingham, the United States Army engineer in charge of harbor replied Mr. Hulbert. "Gen. Bingham has told me that the Government was very much interested in the proposition.

Action on this matter should not be very much longer delayed in order that the plan may be submitted to Congress in time to be included in this year's Rivers and Harbors Bill." Cleary Favors Canal. Congressman Cleary also spoke in favor of the Cone: Island Ship Canal. The whole matter was laid over for two weeks. Controller Craig was an hour late at the during which time no business could be transacted by the Commission, as the presence of the Controller or one of his deputies is required by law. "Insubordination in the Board of Education has imperiled the pay of the teachers and school said Controller Craig when he arrived shortly before 12 o'clock.

"and I have been busy with this matter until a few minutes ago, which is the reason for my being late. The Auditor's Bureau of the Board of Education, in defiance of that Board, held out to the last minute against the law covering the vouchering of the payrolls. By this action the auditor not only put the teachers pay in jeopardy, but also imperilled the additional appropriation of $3,000.000 for the Department of Education in the 1919 budget, out of which the salary increases must be paid." SERVICE BAR SAVES SAILOR A gold service bar on the sleeve of John S. Dunn of the U. S.

Navy, which showed that he had done work for Uncle Sam abroad, saved the sailor from a possible jail sentence when he was brought before Judge Dike in the County Court today for being involved in an attempt to forge a check for $85. The District Attorney called the attention of the Bench to the bar, and Judge Dike, in a neat little speech, agreed with the county lawyer that it would be just about right to let Dunn plead guilty to attempted petty larceny, and allow him to go back to his regular job of fighting Germans. Dunn's home before he went to foreign parts was at 591 Belmont ave. ROOSEVELT AND TAFT ISSUE JOINT APPEAL FOR G. 0.

P. CONGRESS Continued From Page 1. House has been subservient to the will of the President in every respect except when critical issues in the conduct of the war have been involved. The President has not hesitated publicly to discipline those of his party who have disagreed with him, and the lesson has had its effect. A new Democratic Congress, with its old leaders thus chastened, will offer no opposition to his will.

They will not be consulted in the future more than in the past. In a Democratic Congress, the American people will not have the service of an independent. courageous, co-ordinate branch of the Government to moderate his uncontrolled will. It is not safe to entrust to one man such unlimited power. It is not in accord with the traditions of the Republic.

"Third, The Republicans voted without objection billions to be expended by this Administration. Six hundred and forty millions for aviation were given to the executive to build aeroplanes, without single limitation as to the manner or method of its expenditure. A Senate committee has deplored the waste and failure in the use of that money. The debts which have been created by this war, the people will be paying to the third and fourth generation. They have a right to know how these enormous sums have been expended.

Only a Republican Congress will have the courage to exact a detailed and accurate story of that stewardship. "Fourth. the work of reconstruction must not be done by one man, or finally formulated according to his academic theories and ideals. The President was not elected when such issues were before the people. His mandate of power was not given in the light of the momentous questions which will soon force themselves for solution.

He was elected as a peace President. and because he had 'kept us out of The American people should therefore place in the branch of the Government charged constitutionally with adopting policies of reconstruction, a Congress which will not register the will of one man. but fresh from the people, will enact the will of the people. "We earnestly deprecate extending the unified uncontrolled leadership of a commander-in-chief to the making of a permanent treaty of peace or to the framing of those measures of reconstruction which must seriously affect the happiness and prosperity of the American people for A century.

ducts Company giving the city the right to take never the Staten Island plant in the event of the company suspending operation?" Mayor's Explanation of Staten Island Plant's Failure. "That reason is simple enough," he replied. "The company failed because it could not operate the plant at a profit. Why? Because the plant was modeled after a fat rendering plant in New Bedford, which was supposed establishment to be the the most kind UP in the United States. But the New Bedford plant has only few units.

permitting economical operation, whereas the Staten Island plant, which of course is much larger, has many more units. And that is where the trouble came in. Whether there was much or little material on hand, the Staten Island plant had to be operated at full capacity, which required the labor of about 500 men. There were times been sufficient to work up the material when two ent three units would have but all. the units had to be kept going and all the men kept at work, and this is the reason why the company could not make any profit and was driven into the hands of a receiver.

We tried to help them out, financially, but it was of no use. "Now." the Mayor continued, "if the City had taken over the plant in its present shape we would have had to invest half a million dollars to make the changes necessary for profitable operation. Such an investment of the taxpayers money would have been little less than a crime under the circumstances. If the City owned the plant then the expenditure of this money would be justified, but not otherwise." "But why don't you take all the garbage out to sea instead of reviving the Barren Island nuisance?" "Because we haven't got enough," said the Mayor. "To take the City's garbage far enough out to sea so that it won't be washed back to the shore, requires ten or twelve so-called bottom dumpers.

but we have only five of them. As soon as the required number of bottom dumpers can be secured and the slips at the garbage dumps dredged so as to allow these big boats to be loaded then operation of the Barren Island plant will stop and all the garbage will be taken out to have already announced the agreement the City has with the people operating the Barren Island plant can be terminated on 24 hours notice. "But why does not the City build its own garbage disposal plant?" "That will eventually be done." declared Mayor Hylan, "unless the City is able to purchase the Staten Island plant at what we think it is worth." Copeland Disagrees With Mayor. Health Commissioner Copeland poked holes in the statement of the Mayor to the effect that half a million dollars is needed to put the Staten Island plant into shape. He said that, though he is no expert, in his judgment from $200.000 to $300.000 would put the establishment in condition to handle the city's garbage properly.

The chief trouble, he said. was lack of capacity and the chief nuisance came from unloaded garbage scows lying for days at the docks waiting to be handled. An expansion of the plant would remedy together with a slight overhauling of the present machinery, in his opinion. It was pointed out that in spite of the Mayor's plea that the city lacks funds to repair the Staten Island plant he has authorized a contract with the Barren Island concern that will cost the city at the rate of $360,000 a year, and this although the Staten Island people were to pay a bonus for handling the garbage running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly. The Mayor talks of establishing a municipal plant, but does not say when the city will be able to afford such a luxury or where it is to be located.

The record shows that Mayor Hylan acted promptly in carrying out his promise made to the voters of Staten Island on October 27, 1917, during the Mayoralty campaign, to "attack the validity of that iniquitous (Staten Island garbage) contract." He said he would order his Corporation Counsel to fight the contract as his first official act after January 1, and that the new Health Commissioner would deal with the situation with an "iron hand." Both these officials got on the job promptly as promised by Hylan.
