(Special by Eagle Staff Correspondent) Albany, Jan. 18-Strong efforts have been made from Washington to block the anti-Hoover sentiment among the farmers of the State from coming to the surface, it became known here today. One result was the adoption of resolution by the New York State Dairymen's -which, with the State Agricultural Association and other farmers' organizations, winds up a two-day convention tonightdenying that the dairymen are against Secretary Hoover for President. But the resolution did not come out for Hoover's nomination. Wish to Remain Neutral.

"We felt that politics should be kept out of the farm question," said Arthur S. Dahlberg, president of association. "We wish to remain neutral, and, in fact, we must do so, for many reasons." Dahlberg admitted that, following announcement last week of the farmers' opposition to Hoover because of alleged unfair treatment while he was National Director during the War, Ponde had been deluged by telegrams and letters of protest. "Some of them came from he said. Political' observers in close touch with situation see in the move to check the Hoover opposition among the farmers the hand of Ogden L.

Mills, Under Secretary the Treasury, former G. O. P. candidate for Governor and New York's pioneer Hoover boomer. Others Soft Pedal on Hoover.

Other farm associations also took to soft pedal on Mr. Hoover. steps Peter Teneyck, president of the New York State Breeders' Association, declared that the executive committee of his organization had specifically ruled against any "political talk until the nominations are made." Today the viewpoint of the New York State farmers. on Hoover was expressed by Leigh G. Kirkland, himself a dirt farmer and chairman of the Committee on Agriculture.

"The farmers were first for President Coolidge," he said, "then Charles Evans Hughes, and next for Frank O. Lowden of Illinois. "But today most of the Republican farmers believe that Herbert Hoover will be nominated."

A. L. rejected the offer of Abraham and Straus of a trophy for football. The secretary was instructed to write the Brooklyn establishment thanking it interest taken.

The miscellaneous forms of felony which, in ether days spread a wicked glamour around the southern end of Lake Mickigan, have temporarily gone out of fashion. Shootings there have been, but the bad men have been on the receiving end. Police bullets have done more to decrease the ranks of Chicago crimesters in the past few weeks than for many previous moons.

The system is simple, consisting of constant harrassment of known bad men who, after repeated arrest, will leave town. Miss Margretta Loures Weds James J. Conway Jr. MRS: JAMES J. CONWAY, UR.

Firmin Says Churches Must Recognize Women If churches wish success they must permit women to contribute to the management of church affairs, as well as to the financial support of the church, Postmaster Albert Firmin declared yesterday to members of the Elizabeth Cady Stanton League, meeting at the Hotel St. George.

back to the early efforts ol pioneer American feminists to impress on necessity of applying principles of liberty and equality to women and negroes, Mr. Firmin sketched the life of Lucretia Mott, a gentle, refined New England school teacher, who blazed trail for woman suffrage. He showed how the Abolitionists, seeing the justice of freeing the colored slaves, still shrank from admitting women to their organizations and how even the very negro men when freed felt that white women should not be allowed to vote. How to Stay Married on $40 A Week Outlined in Budget In connection with National Thrift, Week, William F. Hirsch of the Y.

M. C. A. National Council outlined a get to provide for a married couple on $40 a week, speaking last night at the Central Branch, 55 Hanson pl. At this wage his program would cover expenses and save $200 a year.

Hirsch itemized normal expenditures at this salary, as a minimum, explaining that "it would be hazardous, under ordinary conditions, for a man to undertake the responsibilities at a lower wage." Prorating a weekly salary of $40 for a year, the average per month is $167, on which, says Hirsch, newly- ALLEN SEES TEST OF O'SHEA IN CHOICE OF NEW PRINCIPAL Says Final Selection Will Determine Value of 000 Increase. Upon the final choice of a principal for the Jamaica Training School for Teachers by William J. O'Shea, superintendent of schools, depends whether or not the 000 pay increase will have been in vain, in the opinion of William H. Allen, director of the Institute of Public Service. In the weekly bulletin of the institute Mr.

Allen states that the appointment will be an unequaled test of Dr. O'Shea to determine if he has the policy and the backbone to match the influence of district political leaders, pastors and others with pull, "even the school board." Dr. O'Shea's salary is $25.000 a year. Because the pay for the position exceeds twice the country's average in training schools, avers the job is sufficiently attractive to entice the ablest and most ambitious. "Raffling the spoils as political, factional or sectarian gains would do irreparable damage to the whole school system for a generation," concludes Allen.

"Yet, that is going to happen unless citizens show more knowledge and interest." HEARN ATTACKS BAR HERE FOR NOT OUSTING CHASERS Continued from Page 1. profession. It is wrong in refusing to instigate at once a vigorous cleanup campaign. It will not do for the Bar Association to sit back and say: 'We are ready prosecute the ambulance chasers if you will tell us who they "I say, let the president of the Brooklyn Bar Association appoint a militant committee from among its membership whose duty it shall be to out and then drive out of the profession that type of all-tooprevalent lawyer, who is degrading a great profession." Bill to Curb Chasers. was speaking in reference to Hearn, introduced by Assemblyman Robert K.

Story of Brooklyn, which seeks to eliminate ambulancechasing by limiting a contingent fee in a negligence action to 33 1-3 percent of the recovery. "I became tired waiting for various associations and committees to do something," said Story. Today, the constructive suggestions, in bill form, of the Special Calendar Committee of the Appellate Division, First Department, are in the hands of the Judiciary Committees of the Senate and the Assembly. These include measures reorganize the Municipal Court to increase its efficiency to dispatch litigation; to empower the Appellate Division, First Department, to appoint special referees to help clear the congestion in the Supreme Court, and to provide for a central Manhattan Municipal courthouse for the handling of all jury trials. Nothing From Brooklyn.

But nothing has yet come from the Second Department, including Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk, of a remedial nature, although the Fay Joint Legislative Committee, created by the 1927 Legislature, has been supposed to have worked on a solution for the past nine months. Adverse comment is being heard among the legislators on the failure of the Fay Committee, of which exAssemblyman Edward E. Fay, Republican, of the 17th A. still the chairman, to make its report--if it has one. Evidence that the committee, its five members split into three factions, has run up against a serious obstacle, was shown in a mysterious visit made to Albany yesterday by Edward H.

Wilson, counsel to the committee. It was learned today that Mr. Wilson called on Speaker McGinnies and, without having a word to say to any of the members of the committee then in Albany, hurried back to Brooklyn. The Speaker, not in good health, left soon afterward for his home up-State. Hints on Mysterious Visit.

What Mr. Wilson's mission was can only be guessed at. But from conversations with the members of the Fay Committee, it was learned that it may have been threefold: First, to gain an extension of time over next Monday, when the report is due. Second, to ask permission for Chairman Fay to submit his report alone, since the other members are all against him on many points. Third, to attempt to forestall the Speaker from receiving Democratic minority report, which Senator Charles E.

Russell and Assemblyman William C. McCreery are writing. Committee Hopelessly Split. Under the present law, majority the Legislature. It is known en that the and minority reports are taboo in Fay report is not yet anywhere near ready; that the members are hopelessly split, and that nothing of major importance has been agreed upon.

So far, the Fay Committee has, in common language, "flivvered." It is known that the Republican aegislative leaders are not pleased with the failure. One idea which does not find agreement of the committee is the proposal suggested by Mr. Fay to wipe out the newly-created City Court and transfer Justices Geismar and Fennelly to the Supeme Court. Plans Four More City Judges. Today Assemblyman Hearn declared he will introduce a bill creating four additional City Court Justices.

"The City Court calendar is some 6,000 cases behind," he said. "Those Justices must have help. It diculous to wope out the Court, which was just started last year." Other points of disagreement among the Fay committee members are the redistricting of the Municipal Court areas, the returning of civil jurisdiction to the County Court and the old troublous question of additional Supreme Court Justices at $22,500 a year. Boyle Hits at Fay. Assemblyman John Boyle of Nassau County, a member of the committee, had this to say about his chairman: "I guess Eddie Fay wants to make another run for the Municipal Court and to make sure of a safe district for the election." Fay was defeated last November by Municipal Court Justice Lawrence C.

EMPLOYEES SUE TO REGAIN STOCK IN MANVILLE FIRM Sold to Brother of President Only to Let Family Keep Control, They Say. Thirty-seven present and former employees of the Johns-Manville Corporation have brought suit in the Supreme Court to compel Hiram E. Manville to account to each of them for 2,275 shares of the corporation's stock of a total estimated value between $6,000,000 and $8,000,000. The stock represents a legacy left the employees by Thomas F.

Manville, head of the firm, who died 1925. The employees allege they sold it to his brother, Hiram E. Manville, at the market price to enable him to retain control of the corporation. Then, it is alleged, Hiram E. Manville sold the company to Wall Street interests and it is now reported to be controlled by J.

P. Morgan Co. The employees therefore have asked the court to compel Mr. Manville to return the stock to them or to make an accounting of its present value, paying them the difference between the price at which they sold and the present market value. The stock bequeathed by Thomas F.

Manville totaled 40,000 shares to be distributed among 58 employees who had been with the firm at least five years and received a salary of $10,000 or more a year. In subsequent reorganization 136,000 shares were issued to replace the 40,000. Many of the beneficiaries had risen from office boys, clerks and stenographers for the firm. Thirty-seven of the 58 have joined in the suit. The suit was revealed only yesterday when the plaintiffs filed an objection in the Surrogate's Court to final settlement of the estate.

QUEENS MOTHERS OPPOSE PICKING OF NEW SCHOOL SITE Charge Incompetence in Board of Education i in Blind Selection of Location.

Alleging incompetence and lack of co-operation of the Board of Education in blindly picking a new school site in their section when ample space, already city owned, is available. the Mothers Club, of P. S. 34, Queens, will hold a protest meeting Friday night in the school at Hollis and Springfield to intercept the move. For more than two years children up the fourth year have been attending the school on triple-time schedule, receiving only from two and one half to three hours tuition a day.

Repeated efforts of residents and the club to secure an addition finally brought a advice from George J. Ryan, president of the Board of Education, that a new site would be acquired two blocks distant from P. S. 34, at a cost of $450,000. Taxpayers Protest.

A storm of protest followed from taxpayers, who foresaw increased assessments as the result. They conthat P. S. 34 occupies a foursite and new building could be erected without interrupting classes. Inquiries to William A.

Boylan, associate superintendent in charge of school buildings, brought the information that it was better judgment to obtain a new location, considering the fast increasing population of the section. He said that later an addition to P. S. 34 would be considered. Asked why it would not be saving build first on the four-acre property, he said the he future population would warrant both schools.

In addition this Boylan stated that two new schools now in the course of construction would relieve overcrowding by reducing the number of pupils from 1,260 to 1.000. The total seating capacity is 478, which necessitates triple time up to the fourth grade and double time, four hours a day, from the fourth to the eighth grades. Parents Make Objections.

An architect's drawing of THE WOMAN VOTER With the possibility of a vacancy in the Magistrates Court of Brooklyn should two Magistrates be elevated to the Court of Special Sessions, Miss Sarah Stephenson's name has again been presented to John H. McCooey, Democratic county leader, with a request that it be forwarded to Mayor Walker should the opportunity arise. When the delegation of women for Miss Stephenson called upon Mr. McCooey as a vacancy recently occurred he told them that should two Magistrates be elevated to the Magistrates bench "there might be an opportunity to appoint a woman," but made no definite promises that such would be the case. Letters Still Pour In.

Letters in Miss Stephenson's behalf continued to reach Mr. McCooey and Mayor Walker, in spite of the fact that a man received the recent appointment, asking that she be considered for the next vacancy. There is widespread dissatisfaction among the Democratic women at what is called the lack of recognition of women voters in the larger appointments, particularly at the failure of Kings County to receive the honor of having a woman Magistrate. Should a woman fail of appointment this time the women cause is set back by many moons and that this fact would indicate clearly the attitude of the Democratic organization toward the appointment of a woman. Mr.

McCooey declared to the women speaking for Miss Stephenson that both he and Mayor Walker were "sympathetic" toward appointing a woman, but no woman has been even recommended to the Mayor by Mr. McCooey so far as can be learned, observers say. Miss Clyde Appointed. Miss Grace Clyde of the 11th A. D.

has been appointed as clerk in the District Attorney's office to succeed Mrs. Mary A. Greehy, who received the appointment as secretary to a Municipal Court Justice at $5,000 a year. Miss Clyde is a lawyer and considered admirably fitted to be of assistance to the District Attorney. As a political appointment it is also considered as shutting out from appointment to the Magistrates Bench of Miss Honor Gelson, Democratic coleader of the 11th A.

as it is not usual to give two appointments to the same district within a short time. Mrs. Pratt Guest of 10th. Alderman Ruth Pratt will be the guest of honor at the 10th A. D.

Miss Maude Wetmore is the recently elected president. Mrs. Whitney was elected third vice president. A new bylaw provides that "to be a member of the club a woman must be a citizen of the United States." Mystery in Disappearance Of Bezdek From Dartmouth Somewhat of a mystery today surrounded the whereabouts of Hugo Bezdek son of the football coach from Dartmouth College, the missing Associated Press reports.

President Ernest M. Hopkins, at Hanover, N. said Bezdek had not returned to the school since his Christmas vacation, which he spent at his parents' home at State College, Pa. The coach, who returned to State College yesterday from Baltimore, where he underwent an operation for an affection of the hip, said the boy and Mrs. Bezdek were visiting at the home of E.

K. Hall, chairman of the football rules committee, at Montclair, N. J. Mrs. Bezdek, located at the McAlpin Hotel, in Manhattan, said her son was visiting friends, whose address she declined to reveal.

She said he had decided not to continue his studies at Dartmouth at present. Mr. Hall denied the boy was at his home. Young Bezdek, a freshman, had been low in his studies, it was said in official quarters at Dartmouth, and had been warned before his departure on his Christmas vacation that he would have to study to pass the examinations at the end of the semester. This he promised to do.

The fact that Bezdek had not eral turned days to after school the was reopening discovered of sev- the sessions. Dispatches from Hanover said the parents were informed and due to the illness of Mr. Bezdek, Mrs Bezdek took charge of a search for him.

Defending the laws which bear his name, State Senator Caleb Baumes, in addressing the midwinter dinner of Group 7, New York State Bankers Association, last night at the Leverich Towers Hotel, asserted that he was not the cruel and hard-hearted person some believed him to be. "The so-called Baumes laws are not vindictive in any sense of the word." he declared. "They are for the protection of society against the habitual criminal, who, experience has shown, will continue to commit crimes if allowed to run at large.

"Some say the criminal is mentally sick and should be given treatment. I am willing to call it treatment, When a man is sick with a contagious disease he is quarantined for the tection of society. So why not gregate the habitual criminal for the same reason?" Senator Baumes called attention to the widespread public misunderstanding of the laws pointing out that a newspaper headline, "Man Gets Life for Stealing 20 Cents" was misleading, since the culprit involved must have used a dangerous weapon in his bery, thereby threatening human life, in order to come under the provisions of the laws. The popular impression that four convictions of any kind made a life term mandatory, he added, was entirely incorrect as the laws cover only four convictions of onies. The Senator declared he did not know whether the law requiring Angerprints to be taken of all persons before they were admited to bail was constitutional, but that it "was being done every day." Declaring that he believed a fourth conviction sufficient proof of habitual criminality, Senator Baumes said: "In.

is safe to' say, he concluded, four convictions mean an average of 40 offenses." The Rev. Lester Ward alsd. addressed the bankers. Charles O. Ireland, chairman of the group and vice president of the Midwood Trust Company, presided.

BARREN ISLAND SITE FOR AIRPORT URGED, Jamaica Bay Seen as Ideal for "Wings, Wheels and Keels." Nowhere else in New York City is there a better location for an airport than the Barren Island site, Walter G. Peterkin, assistant civic manager of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, declared yesterday. He described some of the problems which confront Brooklynites in talk on "New Civic Projects" given before the Urban Club at a meeting held at 104 Clark st. Mrs. Frederick J.

Austin, president, presided and introduced the speaker. "Wings, wheels and keels could all come together at that point," said the speaker. "A decision on the choice of a site has been deferred, but I hope that on Feb. 2 it will definitely be decided. It is amazing that with 4,000 airports in the United States that New York City has none Urges Development of Jamaica Bay.

Another important matter for Brooklyn, he pointed out, is the development of Jamaica Bay so that water traffic will not be diverted from Brooklyn. Channels have been dredged, he announced, but. as yet no piers have been built. Peterkin approved of plan to draw water from the Delaware River to supplement the present water supply of New York City, which will, he said, be inadequate by 1935. Between 1935 and 1938, when the Delaware River system could be completed, he suggested, the deficiency could be made up by having wells dug on Long Island.
