chairman of the Midland Bank, said addressing the annual mcetinj of ths bank. "Although gold is still the nominal basis cf most currencies," he asserted, "the real determinant of movements in the general world level of prices Is the purchasing power of the doliar." McKenna spoke a hopeful word for British trade in 1928. He referred to I the great improvement in the rela tions rjeiween capital ana LAOor ana to the gradual but steady recovery In trade since the general strike of 1926. America Magnet it Gold. "I am naturally led to ask how long the world Is to continue on a dollar basis," he said.

"As long as conditions remain at all similar to those we know today America will be able to pursue her credit policy without regard to gold movements and to maintain control over the world level of prices." Declaring that America holds half of the total monetary gold of the world, McKenna added: "Moreover. her creditor position constitutes a permanent magnet lor gom. Her debtors must pay, and if they can find no other way must pay in gold." HARTFORD TIMES SOLD.

Wainscott to Register Kick Against Changing Name to Midhampton Wainscott, L.

Jan. 24 For 275 years the name of Wainscott has been good enough for the residents of this village they decided at a protest meeting here yesterday as they formed themselves into a committee to appear before the Public Service Commission to register their displeasure at any "high falutin' plan to change the good old name. Just because a real estate development wants to acquire the railroad station stop between East Hampton and Bridgehampton there is no reason in the world to change the name of this interesting old fishing and farming town to Midhampton, said the natives at their protest meeting. The sentiment was all against any change in a name that goes back to Colonial days when it was the custom to cut oak trees and cure the wood in the muddy ponds until it became good "wainscott" trim. Tell Transit Commissioner Their Sections Are Not Properly Served at Present.

Business men and Miopkecptrs with interests in sections through which would run two of the proposed Brooklyn bus routes of the Equitable Coach Company testified today before Tran-fit Commissioner Leon G. Godley in the Commission headquarters, at a hearing on the company application for a certificate of convciutr.ee end necessity, that no existirr kj. lace tar line or rapid traiV.il com pany properly connects their local-' oi that part of touih ol Prospect Park. The proposed routes under di.scu.s-i.on were No. 1G.

roughly a Saratoga i ve. and East Flatbuih line; and No. 17. an East New York and Brownsville line conecting with downtown Brooklyn via Eastern Parkway. The witnesses who told of the lack cf transit facilities linking their with others were called to the by Joseph Kellogg and Harold Dresser, counsel for the Equitable.

Clarence J. Shearn, counsel for the B. M. T. and its subsidiaries, rross-ixamined three ot the Equitable witnesses trying to show that the New Lots ave.

subway division and the Ralph ave. and St. Johns' pi. Mir-face lines already adequately covered the territory that the proposed bus routes would traverse. Will Investigate Boy's Charge Against a Cop Walter Marshall, of 65 Flushing Jamaica, a messenger boy employed in the Jamaica office of the Postal Telegraph-Commercial Cable Company, was freed by Magistrate Doyle in Jamaica today of a charge of disorderly conduct made by Harry J.

Battersbee, of 168th st. and Rockaway Jamaica, a policeman attached to the 7th Precinct, Manhattan. Magistrate Doyle directed Police Inspector George Hearle to investigate the case. Marshall said he went to the home of the policeman yesterday afternoon with a telegram and that when no one answered the doorbell, he pushed the door, which was unlocked, and entered a re in which were Battersbee and several women. Battersbee, he said, reviled him for having entered the house, and then punched and kicked him and pushed him out the door.

He fell upon the sidewalk, he said. Then the policeman arrested him on a charge of disorderly conduct, accusing him of having used vile language hen he entered the house. LOST CAPAND AUTO CRASH SNARE TRIO AFTER BUS HOLDUP One Admits Robbing Driver of Jamaica-Bound Car Passengers Not Molested. Traced by a cap bearing a chauffeur's badge, which had been dropped by one of a trio who got $60 by holding up John Mahcr, bus driver, last night at Rorkaway and Sutphin James Kuhl, 21, of 49 Corings Elmhurst, was arrested this morning at his home. Later, two other men, accused by the police as being the other members of the trio, were arrested after the motorcar in which they were riding crashed into an elevated pillar at Broadway and Stockton st.

They identified themselves as Jack Lasky of Cauldwell Elmhurst. and John Keller, of 214 Perry Maspeth. In the lineup at Police Headquarters this morning Kuhl, according to the police, admitted he was one of the holdup men. He said he and another man had stolen the motorcar they used and explained the cap with the chauffeur's badge by saying he formerly had been employed as a bus driver. Police records show he received an eight-month sentence last February in Queens for burglary.

Three passengers in the Jamaica-bound bus at the time of the holdup were not molested. Tiffany Co. Fifth Avenue 37T-i! street; Pearl Necklaces STRIKE OF ACTORS EXPECTED TO KILL 'OH JOHNNY' SHOW Audience cf 1,500 Disappointed at Shubert Theater. No Performance Tonight. "Oh, Johnny," a new musical comedy that failed to see the lights of Broadway (Brooklyn) last night will not go on tonight either at Teller's Shubert Theater because there Is no money to pay the chorus.

The Actors Equity Association ordered the cast to strike, although the principals In the show were willing to take a chance and gamble on the box office receipts to pay their salaries. Equity, however, would not allow the performance without a bond guaranteeing the pay of every person in the cast. Chances are 'Oh Johnny" will be taken off the boards altogether and will not open on Broadway, Manhattan, next week as scheduled. It has played in Albany, Rochester and the Bronx. The scenery is still up in the Bronx Opera House.

Fifteen hundred persons waited an hour in vain last night for the curtain to go up at Teller's Shubert. Leo Teller finally was forced to announce from the stage there would be no show. Money was refunded at the box office. Four patrolmen from the Ralph ave. station were placed outside the theater in case of trouble.

NEAR-DEITY SOUGHT AS SWAINS SPECIFY REQUISITES OF WIFE Young Bachelors Answer Pastor's Query One Will Follow King Solomon's Recipe. Seven young men of the Astoria Presbyterian Church, Astoria, L. of which the Rev. Dr. James E.

Walker is pastor, have gone on the record with their requirements for a wife. Last week Dr. Walker sent inquiries to seven girls on their view of an ideal husband. Then he turned to the men, and here are some of the answers: "To describe my dream girl is but to portray all the virtues which we require in a deity." "I take it for granted that a girl who would accept me," writes another, "would stand behind me under all circumstances." "One who drinks or smokes can never fill my conception of an Ideal wife," states one positive young swain. A logical young man says he likes "a girl who loves to do the things I do and takes part in social, athletic and recreational activities.

I would like her to be capable, reliable and responsible; one who is a leader." Another would be very anxious "to know her purpose in life." Then there is one who would be guided entirely by King Solomon's recital of properties of a good wife. "I want my dream girl to be the one whom I will be proud to call the mother of my son," is another Fire Truck Hits Auto; 3 Women and Man Hart Three women and a fireman were slightly injured last night when an automobile driven by Anthony Paolillo of 2825 Emmons was struck by Fire Truck No. 245. a hose cart, at Surf ave. and W.

Paolillo was arrested. DISTRICT ATTORNEY CALLED BY DEFENSE IN BOMB BLAST CASE Dodd Unexpectedly Testifies at Trial of Two Suspects in Supreme Court Explosion. District Attorney Dodd was an unexpected witness today at the trial in Judge Taylor's part of the County Court of Julian Do Hoyos and Jesus Silvia, accused of setting the bomb that exploded Labor Day morning alongside the Supreme Court Building. Dodd was called to the stand by S. Lawrence Miller, defense counsel, and questioned about the statements taken from the defendants in the prosecutor's office.

Dodd said he had not been present when the statement of Conrad Ashley, star witness for the defense, was taken by Assistant District Attorney William Kleinman. Ashley said he saw the defendants 20 minutes before the bomb exploded, getting into a car at the corner of Schermerhorn st. and Boerum pi. Mr. Miller also brought out the fact that the indictments in the bomb case were returned about a month before Distric Atorney Dodd was re-elected last November.

GENERAL WALKER RETIRES. Washington, Jan. 24 (P) Retirement from the Army of Maj. Gen. Kenzie W.

Walker, as chief of finance at his own request has been approved by President Coolidge, effective April 22. Maj. Gen. Walker has been in service for more than 39 years. FAVOR ENLARGING COMMUTER SYSTEM The problem presented by New Jersey commuters to New York calls for immediate attention because present transportation facilities have about reached their full capacity, It is stated in a report of the Suburban Transit Engineering Board made public today.

The report urges rapid transit between Newark and other centers of population, such as Paterson and Elizabeth. Another important step, it is stated, is to fix a location for a commuters' distributing system in Manhattan, "with due regard for New York City's requirements for its local lines and for the requirements of the Westchester and Long Island sectors." to protect grafters, not to convict them. There is always a new piece of legal red tape that can be unwound wherever the graft has been big enough to pay the lawyers. It is unfortunate for the public that the Le Boeuf report had to be made public in its entirety yesterday. If the press could have presented its separate recommendations day after day for a week it would have made a much stronger impression.

A competent Impartial Investigator charges Mrs. Florence E. S. Knapp, former Secretary of State, with forgery, grand larceny, false audit and the abstraction of public documents. He makes these separate charges on the basis of sworn testimony from many corroborative sources.

Yet few people will read this evidence. From now on her well-paid attorneys will make it their business to rouse public sympathy in her behalf. The State will be silent and the defense will get the headlines. We ought to have an altogether different basis for Judging public officials and private citizens. Any one who aceepls public office undertakes a special obligation to be true to the highest standards.

The bctrnyal of a public trust Is far more heinous than private wrongdoing. It lowers the public service, sets a vicious example to subordinates and uses public power for Improper private ends. I'ily is a commendable human quality. But the time to plly persons like Mrs. Knapp is after their doings have been fully exposed and the Jury hns brought In Its verdict of guilty.

Thai, the carrying out of the plan cf Controller Charlei W. Berry to include surface lir.es in transit unification is a "practical Impossibility" because it would mean getting tin agreement of tens ol thousands of security holders ol 40 different companies on prices and terms, was the statement niadc today by Bamuel Untermyer.

special counsel for the Transit Commission, who said ulso that it would mean "tree transfers," which would, Ui itself, automatically wreck the 5-cent fare. Mr. I'ntermyer's statement follows: It now appears that in the same breath wluch Controller Berry is professing himself a tardy convert to the maintenance of the 5-cent fare he is stabbing it in the back by urging the inclusion of the surface car lines in the plan of unification. "He must know that the carrying through of any such scheme, requiring the agreement of tens of thousands of security holders of 40 different companies on prices and terms, is a practical impossibility. Besides which, it will inevitably mean free transfers, which would in itself automatically wreck the 5-cent fare.

"It has at last been made plain to him that the existing subways can be and are now profitably operated on the present fare. If, however, they are loaded down with free transfers the deficits required to be carried in the budget would be so heavy that it would spell the death knell of the project. Is that what he is driving at? If not, what Is he really trying to bring about under cover of his eleventh-hour conversion to the 5-cent fare? "There have been so much nonsense and so many absurd rumors published about transit that the average citizen, no matter how deeply concerned, is so befuddled and disgusted from trying to follow the cross-purposes that have been injected into the problem by those who want to see it fail that he has stopped reading about transit or trying to understand what it is all about. "It will, however, be solved notwithstanding the many futile attempts like this and the Smith expert report, and the so-called 'Berry advisory committee' that refused to go along with the Controller's 7-cent fare campaign, or any of the many other monkey-wrenches that are being persistently thrown into the machinery. "Strange to say, no one questions the Controller's good intentions, but if he has contributed up to date a single helpful or constructive thought or suggestion, or anything except obstruction and lawsuits, I would like to know what it is.

"The Legislature has entrusted the preparation of the plan to the Transit Commission, and not to the Controller. Why does he not leave us in iieace to work out this -plan? When reaches the Board of Estimate he lias three out of sixteeen votes for the adoption or rejection of the plan. If lie has any suggestions that would id the Commission, why does he not submit them there Instead of to the newspapers? If. when the plan is formulated, he does not like it, perhaps he will try his hand at another, provided his colleagues on the Board of Estimate do not adopt the Commission's plan. "Meanwhile, we are kept working overtime explaining away his constant digs at everything that is being done or attempted to be done." Controller Berry refused to comment nfter reading Mr.

Untermyer's statement. FALL'S SON-IN-LAW FAILS TO RESPOND IN HEY TEAPOT INQUIRY Only Three Witnesses Appear as Senate Body Probes $230,500 Bond Deal. Washington, Jan. 24 (P) M. T.

"When I compare this building given us for the Traffic Court with those we have been compelled to use heretofore I am filled with deep gratitude," said Chief Magistrate William A. McAdoo In accepting the new Traffic Court today at the hands of Bora President Byrne. "Court buildings should be in keeping with the majesty of the law. A shabby courtroom brings disrespect for the law in the minds of those having to do business there." Boro President James J. Evrne commented on the unstinted cilort spent by Magistrate McAdoo and Chief Clerk William F.

Delaney in obtaining the new court and directing its reconstruction from a synagogue to an adequate and beautiful courtroom. "It is a mistake for the city to buy or rent buildings for public use as cheaply as possible," said the boro president. "It should invest money in public buildings and save money." McAdoo Discusses Parking Menace. Magistrate McAdoo. who was the principal speaker, said that not all the accidents or all the deaths from accidents on the streets were reported by the police, especially those where the victim died some time after the accident.

"I myself was knocked down and laid up for eight weeks," he said, "and there was no police rs-port." He gave the two great problems of traffic as parking and taxi-cabs. "There are some places where no parking should be allowed," he said. "There is an old ordinance still unrepealed whereby cars abandoned in the streets by their owners may be impounded by the police just as old bedsteads or other junk may be carted off by the Street Cleaning Department. Property owners have no right to use the streets for parking even in front of their own property. The parking menace has in some cases almost stopped business." He said that 30.000 taxicabs in New York City were far too many for the public need.

"Granting of licenses is not a right." he said, "but an act of grace. Taxicab drivers constitute the only class of people who invite unlimited competition. Taxis occupy more space on the highways than any other class of vehicle." Favor Seekers Cause Trouble. He advocated the return of the amber light as an intermediate traffic signal for the greater protection of pedestrians crossing at corners. "I have been asked if it is desirable to have a uniform fine for certain offenses," he said.

"I have no power to compel magistrates to adopt uniform fines. We must consider the protection of the public as a whole and not personal reasons for violating the law. A doctor must not be allowed, for instance, to make new patients on his way to the hospital. The greatest trouble we magistrates have is the constant lobbying for special favor. A man will spend $200 to escape a $2 fine just for vanity." In accepting the building and turning it over for the regular business of the court he said.

"We magistrates must repay the citizens for this beautiful building by protecting the public and treating them with courtesy, kindliness and Justice." Old Synagogue Remodeled. Other speakers who congratulated the city on the fine building and the success of the reconstruction of a synagogue to court purposes were Michael Furst, president of the Brooklyn Bar Association and a former leading member of Union Temple; Ralph Jacobs, representing the Charity Organization that co-operates with the courts In social service work, and Magistrate Reynolds. At the close of the formal program Magistrates Folwell and Haubert toek the bench in their respective parts of the court and the business of the court proceeded with a full calendar MnS. ANNA F.

State and national, needs to be investigated occasionally to reveal waste, incompetence or graft. It appears to be the only way to secure reasonable efficiency from public servants. Those who Would be honest, hard-working and efficient are often infected by those who would not. And where the head of a bureau or department is wasteful, indifferent or worse it follows almost inevitably that the entire organization Is infected. Today's headlines tell the story of half a dozen investigations.

The oil inquiry In Washington, which has already revealed the iniquity of a Secretary of the Interior of the United States, is resumed todav and Important wltncf.ses are missing Governor Smith has appointed another Morcland Commissioner to investigate the State Labor Department. Evidence has been presented of widespread frauds In compensation claims. The New York State Civil Service Commission Is hoping against hope that Its revealed shortcomings will not be followed by a detailed investigation. If these Commissioners were working for a private corporation they would already have received a dishonorable discharge for Incompetence and gross nrgleet of duly on the basis of the Le Horuf report.
