the second largest steel corporation in the world, has accepted the resignation of three of its chief officials, who have been with the company "since they were boys."

PHONE NEVINS 4800 N.Y. OFFICE EMORY F. DYCKMAN SLATED TO SUCCEED WALTER F. CLAYTON Assemblyman's Withdrawal as Candidate for Re-election Was Not Unexpected. Emory F.

Dyckman, it became known today, is slated to succeed Walter F. Clayton a8 Republican candidate for the Assembly in the 21st A. D. Clayton withdrew yesterday. His friends are urging him to become a candidate for county office.

The withdrawal of Clayton was not unexpected. It had been known for some time that the Flatbush Assemblyman desired to devote more time to business and await the time when politics might have something Letter to offer him than a year job at Albany. Clayton served in the Assembly for five years, recently as chairman of the important Cities Committee. He is the father of the motion-pictura regulation law and the savior of it as well. Had it not been for Clayton's efforts the law might have been repealed two or three years ago.

Foe of Increased Salaries. During the last session of the Legislature Clayton and the Kings leaders had some difference of opinion over a proposed law increasing the salaries of municipal court justices. Clayton was against the proposal, and he thought county leaders ought to leave the matter of its passage up to him, as senior representative at Albany. The fact that Clayton was not always able to agree with the leaders at home on legislative matters may have had something to do with his decision not to seek -election this year. Clayton will be missed in the Assembly.

During the past three years he has been a leading figure on the Itepublican side of the House. The up-State members always looked to him for advice regarding legislation affecting New York: City and were guided by him. A relentless opponent of increased salaries and decentralization of the State's power, Clayton could be depended upon to make things lively the floor of the house for any one who opposed him. His debates with Assemblyman Joe Ricca, fusion representative from Brownsville. are Albany classics.

His Letter to Kracke. Clayton's letter to Kracke, withdrawing as a candidate, follows: "Inasmuch as our Assembly District must shortly designate a candidate for Assembly to be voted for in the coming primary, I feel it incumbent on me to state my views respecting a redesignation. you well know. I have represented the 21st A. D.

in the Assembly of the State Legislature for the past five years, during which time practically gave up my business that I might better attend to the duties of my office. "The duties of an Assemblyman are not confined merely to the session of the Legislature, but are more or less constant throughout the year. "I now feel that in justice to my family and self, I should give more time to my business and incidentally take more time for recreation. desire, therefore, Mr. Kracke, that at the meeting to called for the designation of a candidate for the office of Assembly, that my name be not considered.

"May I ask you at that meeting to express to my friends who have five loyally supported me during the past years, assure my deep appreciation. and to them that at all times have considered their interest only, in all matters of State legislation."

R. Trains Held Hour and Half by Fire B. M. T. Derailment Excites 1,000 For more than an hour last evening- the height of the rush period- -electric trains on the Long Island Railroad between Brooklyn and Jamaica were tied up by a fire due to A short circuit before any unnouncement was made to 15,000 commuters as to the cause of the trouble.

The Atlantic ave. station filled to overflowing but the Long Islanders. chafing at the delay, knew only that trains were stalled on the railway due to trouble somewhere. The tieup lasted from 6 to 7:30 o'clock. It developed that the trouble was due to a fire in the one-story cement building in the raidroad cut nt Atdantic and Vanderbilt aves, known as sub-station 1 and caused by a.

short circuit. When the power was shut off not only the trains at the Atlantic ave. and Jamaica terminals were held on the rails, but several in the Franklin ave. cut. Passengers Struggle to Street.

Passengers of these trains ascended to the street along a narrow stairway when they found the delay was a protracted one. Women with children in their arms had a struggle to gain the street. The fire did not cause much Sparks from wires fell on debris in the basement floor of the sub-station and set it ablaze. The station tender telephoned the chief train dispatcher at Jamaica and the power was shut off.

A six-car Sea Beach bound train of the B. M. carrying more than a thousand passengers, most of them on their way home from the theaters, was stalled in darkness at Broadway and Canal sts. last night. when wheels of the front truck under the second car left the rails.

The train bumped over ties and trackbed for 10 feet. Passengers felt the grinding of the wheels over the ties, a jolting and then darkness descended oll the train, broken by electric flashes from the third rail which were followed by acrid smoke. The smoke filled the subway pockets and created much discomfort. A few women screamed but there was no undue excitement, due to the quick action of Special Officer thur Turlock and the motorman and guards who hastened through the train reassuring the pasengers and instructing them to file through the aisles to the front car and so to the emergency platform which the front car had just reached. The passengers left in an orderly manner making their way from the emergency platform to the main platform from whence they were escorted up the stairways and over the bridge to the Montague st.

tunnel where they entered other trains and continued towards Sea Beach. All trains entering at this part of the subway were transferred over an emergency switch a quarter of a mile from the Broadway and Canal st. station without loss of time. Vents in the subway were opened and the tube quickly cleared of work promptly after the mishap and smoke. c.

CUT IN FEDERAL TAXES CERTAIN: FIGHT ON SURTAX Various Plans Before Next Congress All Aim at Reduction. Eagle Bureau, 901 Colorado Building. By JOHN BILLINGS JR. Washington, Aug. 6-If various statements made by eminent tors and Congressmen during the last week or two may be accepted as fair indication, tax revision in the next session of Congress will not be a thing of placid agreement all round.

The opinions of these representatives, intimately acquainted with Government finances, show a diversity which might well lead to another stirring tax controversy in the Capitol. A dozen outstanding Senators and Representatives have made public proposals whereby they sought to return the people the expected $350,000,000 Treasury surplus in the form of reduced taxes. These proposals are the result of quiet summer meditations. They plainly reveal what the various factions in Congress are prepared to stand for. No Two Plans Correspond.

The strange part of all these proposals for tax reduction is that while no two of them are exactly alike. as a whole they are much below the suggested reductions of Secretary Mellon last year. They plainly indicate a substantial reduction next winter. From these statements of Congressional leaders it can be seen that the Democratic and Progressive minority will probably urge a maximum surtax reduction from the present 40 percent rate to 25 percent, whereas the conservative Republican majority advocate a reduction to 20 percent. On the question of exemption, it appears that the Democratic- Progressive group will make a stand for a $5,000 income tax-free.

The Republicans counter with a proposal to reduce the normal tax from 2 to 1 percent and keep the exemptions where they are. Of the 12 tax plans recently set forth, two call for a maximum surtax of 15 percent, four for 20 percent, three for 25 percent and one each percent. for 13 percent, 30 percent and Two other issues will be injected into the tax revision program--the reduction or abolition of the Federal inheritance tax and the abolition of the publication of tax payments. President Coolidge, the Treasury and conservative Republicans favor the ending of these practices while the Democrats and Insurgents would retain them. Coolidge for Deep Cut in Surtax.

Under Secretary of the Treasury Winston has proposed a 20 percent maximum surtax, which might be taken as representing the Administration's policy, were it not for the fact that President Coolidge recently let it be known that, while he did not believe the amount of the surplus would permit of a surtax reduction below 25 percent, he would favor its reduction to as low as 15 or 18 percent, if the condition of the Treasury later in the year seemed to make this possible. Chairman Green of the House Ways and Committee, which will frame the tax reduction legislation, has favored a surtax of 25 percent. Representative Garner, ranking Democrat of this same committee, has come out for a 30 surtax, and total exemptions of all incomes below $5.000. Senator Smoot, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, favors a maximum surtax percent. Senator Couzens, who has spent the last year studying taxation in an of the Internal Revenue Bureau, advocates a repeal of all war excise taxes and the $5,000 exemption.

He proposes 20. percent surtax, applicable only to incomes over 500,000. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, conservative Republican of the Senate Finance Committee. has proposed a flat 2 percent normal tax on incomes. with 8 percent as the maximum surtax.

Senator Underwood, Democrat. suggests a 2 percent normal tax and a 13 percent surtax maximum. Senator Glass, Democrat, propose a 20 percent surtax and a general reduction of normal taxes on all comes over $500,000. Representative Bacharach, Republican member of the House Ways and Means Committee, also favors a 20 percent surtax, but would have it applicable to incomes of $15,000 and over. He would reduce the normal rate on incomes between $2,000 and $5,000 and would abolish certain excise taxes, Representative Watson, also a R3- publican member of the same committee, urges the elimination of Fed.

eral inheritance taxes and a cut ia surtaxes to 15 percent. Madden's Radical Program. Representative Martin B. Madden, Republican chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, recently suggested to President Coolidge the adoption of a tax program which ineluded the abolishment of inheritance and gift taxes, a cut in corporation taxes to 10 percent and a reduction of the normal tax rate to one percent on 000 incomes less. He also favors legislation for an automatic refund to the taxpayers whenever the Treasury surplus exceeds $50,000,000.

The most striking feature of this compendium of opinion is the apparent willingness of at least the conservative Democrats to accept of the surtax considerably below the figure proposed in the 111- fated Mellon plan. It is also noticeable that there seems to be a dis. position on the part of the Democrate to shift their chief disagreement with the majority from the of question of surtax to the proposition exempting Incomes under $5,000 from taxation. The advantages of the latter issue from the standpoint of politics is apparent. Beautiful Baldwin Specialist in SOUTH Established SHORE PROPERTIES uersson Grand Ave.

Fortyfive special trains, to bring the influx from as far as Buffalo, N.

It is said that the majority of visitors will be families of Klansmen. The latest estimate is that not more than 10,000 will march in the parade although it was first indicated that the number would be near 100,000. In addition to the special trains, motorcar caravans are bringing otter hundreds to the capital for the demonstration, with seven of the understood to be en route from Texas alone.

Wearily an elderly blue corpuscle paused and addressed a nerve center. have just got out of an eastbound capillary," it said, "and I want to get to the Cardiac regions. Can you give me a transfer?" "No," replied the nerve center.

"No transfers are issued except to cross-body capillaries." "You mean," the blue corpuscle said, "I must pay another fare!" "That's the law," replied the nerve center. stance. Today in the human No, that not an isolated bolly such happenings are of every-day regularity. I give it merely as example of one symptom of the situation in the capillaries. There are some, of course, who will scoff at this as an exaggeration, who will cry "Alarmist!" and will me as a muckraker and describe demagogueBUT THE FACTS REMAIN! Few of us have given much thought to the growth of the capillary system.

It seems such a short time ago that it was a baby industry, regarded as of no importance and even with contempt. "It will never be a success," people said. "It is pure folly to believe that the capillary system can ever attain much greater height than that of a novelty." This indeed was the general attitude. The old-fashioned horsedrawn corpuscles, so quaint to uS now, were good enough for them. they said, and it was sacrilege to defy the laws of God and man by attempting automatic corpuscles.

It was in 1765 that the Governor of Virginia issued a flat ukase against their introduction into the Oid Dominion State. That was the situation in the early 80s, and the same frame of mind exists in many places today. However, there was one corpuscle, Luther J. Hook, who had confidence in the automatic corpuscle. While the Bourbons of the day jeered at him and referred to his first crude automatic corpuscles as "Hook's Folly" he stuck to his experiments in his laboratory out in the suburbs, near the left ear.

"Some day," he predicted, "there will be no more horse corpuscles. Every capillary in the body will be equipped with automatic corpuscles." A wild dream it seemed at the time, and even his relatives tapped their heads when mentioning hint. "Luther is a good they said, "but he's got 8 screw loose Today, as the whole world knows, Luther Hook's dream has come true. The automatic corpuscie is today a downright necessity. It has aided civilization and become the handmaiden of culture except in Tennessee.

This is, as has been so graphically said, the Golden Age of Corpuscles. How long, though, can this last? The capillary system has increased to such astonishing size that few are able to credit its importance. A few statistics here would not be out of place: There are 2.000 miles--miles, mind capillaries in the human body. A half of this is double-tracked. but only a third has the automatic block signal system.

An average of 50.000.000 corpuscles, about evenly divided between red and blue, ride daily in the capillaries. There is less than one accident to every 500.000,000 corpuscles ridden in the course of a year. After midnight corpuscles ride on half-hour headway from outlying sections, such as the toes and fingers, Transfers are free to the cross. body capillaries, to the veins, and to the arteries, but NOT to up and down town capillaries, In the southern part, below the knees, blue corpuscles are forced NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS.

Today the capillary system penetrates every neighborhood in the body. Its ramifications are as vast as those of the Industrial Empire of Hugo Stinnes. In one way or another it touches the personal affairs of every corpuscle. How, then, 18 this public trust being kept? How is the great body politic of the corpuscles being served? a Is there an honest and upright administration of the capillary system by those to whom it has been trusted? In this series of articles I intend to show by statistics that the publia is NOT being served! I intend to show how there 19 graft, crookedness and swindling going on among the higher-ups in the capillary system. I intend to show that less than 55 percent of the nourishment intended to go to the capillary system actually reaches its destination, the other 45 percent being expended in riotous living among sharping bigbusiness corpuscles.

In brief, in this series of articles the cover will be lifted and the readers of One Word After Another will be given an opportunity to survey the inner workings of the capillaries, including the veins and arteries. The next article, to appear in an early issue, will outline the signing of the dual contract with the city, showing how the terms of this contract have been repeatedly ignored and how there are now one-man corpuscles being operated in many parts of the human body. Other sensations will follow, including hate, anger, indignation, annoyance, chagrin and mild pleasure. MINEOLA MAIL PILOT WHO FELL IN RIVER EXPECTED TO LIVE Bloomsburg, Aug. 6 Chandler, of Mineola, L.

air nail pilot, whose plane fell into the Susquehanna River here last night, will recover from his injuries, phygicians said today. Chandler's skull was fractured when his plane, its running gear tangled by uncut oats in a field from which he attempted to hop off, struck a tree top and plunged into shallow water. The injured airman said he had lost his way on the Westward flight. He alighted in the oats field and dropped a magnesium flare which attracted number of persons whom he obtained directions. accident frothe followed his attempt to resume his flight.

The accident to Chandler was the first since the inauguration night airplane service between New York and Chicago July 1.
