5, at 8 in. COM STATE Aid Bills or Take Blame, Mayor's Attitude to Albany Republicans. Knitle urea a. Capitol llullcllnic By CLINTON L. MOSHEIt.

Albany, Feb. 5 Mayor Walker today placed the responsibility for solving New York City's transit snarl squarely up to the Republican majorities in the Legislature. He declared they must pass his two transit bills, calling for unification and guarantee of the five-cent fars or take the blame for the failure of the city to giv relief. The Mayor brought his transit Dills to Albany In the face or a possible decision from the United States Supreme Court granting the I. R.

T. the seven-cent fare and with the knowledge that he or his administration, or both, must go before the people next fall In the Mayoralty contest. Confers With Leaders. The Mayor, apparently In the best of spirits and ready to use his most persuasive powers, was up early today to confer with Senator John Knight and Speaker Joseph A. Mc-Ginnies of the Assembly, the Republican leaders.

He will ask them to approve his measures. Before he went to the Capitol to see Knight and McGlnnles Walker said: "If the present administration is to be held responsible for transit conditions In New York City the Legislature must give us the bills we ask for, and If it doesn't then It must take the blame for the failure to give transit relief." Consider Bills on Merits. What the attitude of the Republicans will be Is problematical. Knight and McGinnles, both up-Staters, are not anxious to stand In the way of legislation that might help New York City, even though It would aid the Democrats in the approach ing campaign. They may be expected to consider the bills on their merits alone.

As for the rest of the Republi can, they very well might be in clined to turn the cold snouider to Walker on the ground that they would be aiding and abetting Tammany Hall in an effort to solve the transit problem nine months before election. On the other hand, they might take the attitude that if they opposed Walker's bills they would be giving him a strong alibi in defense of criticism from the Republican nominee and former Mayor John F. Hylan, running as an Independent. The Mayor is ready to fight for his bills. If any appreciable amount of opposition makes its appearance lie will come up here lor tne near-ing on the two measures.

One bill sets up a public corpora tion to be known as the Board of Transit Control, which would have the management of city-owned transit lines or lines to be acquired. The other bill would allow the city to include an operating deficit in the budget, thus preserving the 5-cent fare. If Senator Knight opposes the second bill, the Mayor is expected to counter with a proposal to submit to the people by referendum the question of whether the deficit shall be paid for by the budget or by an Increased fare. Thinks He'll Win. Walker believes he can win the Republicans over to his way of thinking.

Three years ago, soon after his election, he came to Al bany and got the Legislature to ex tend the city's debt limit by to allow for more subway building. He is confident he will be as successful this time. Other proposals that brought the Mayor to Albany are the bridge and tunnel bills, the proposed city sanitation commission and the bill tn make the city a party to all rate DEATHS TIBBALL -FRED W.

Will the Bremen and the Europa, two of the longest ships In the world, which are to use Pier 4, Atlantic Tidewater Terminals, Brooklyn, be able to maneuver satisfactorily In the channel off Bay Ridge? This question has caused Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce and North German Lloyd officials to approach the War Department with a view to broadening and deepening this channel by dredging. Harbor experts feel certain that the gigantic German ships can be handled better off South Brooklyn than anywhere else In the harbor. But handling of great ships in New York harbor is difficult anyway, and the Chamber of Commerce wants to make it as easy for them as possible in the hope that Brooklyn will become the passenger port of the city when ship lines once learn its ad vantages.

Europa Due Here July 31. The first of the two new German liners, the Europa, Is scheduled to arrive here on July 31, after her maiden voyage from Bremen. The channel off Bay Ridge sometimes called the Buttermilk Channel though maps call it the Bay Ridge Channel, and place the Buttermilk Channel larther nortn toward uov-ernors Island Is maintained at a width of 1,200 feet and a depth of 40 feet, under a dredging program adopted by the War Department in 1899. But the 938-foot length of the two new liners will be only 262 feet short of the width of the channel. Hence It is pointed out that the vessels will have little leeway to turn and may require a great number of tugs.

This was not true of the Columbus of the North German Lloyd, the largest German ship now afloat, but much smaller than the two new filers. The Columbus, when she arrived here, Jan. 26, slid into the Atlantic Tidewater slip probably easier than she could have into any other slip In the harbor. A ship of the Columbus size haj more than ample room to maneuver there. BRODY CALLS OFF PROPOSED PROBE OF SCOUT CAMPAIGN Misunderstanding of Chamber Purpose, Welfare Secretary Explains.

A misunderstanding, is the explanation of Secretary James Brody of the Department of Public Welfare, who today called off his "probe" of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce for enlisting the services of Boy Scouts in a drive to raise $50,000 for orphaned, blind and crippled children. Mr. Brody made a statement late yesterday afternoon that employment of boys under 18 to beg, receive or solicit alms was a violation of the Penal Law and that he would start an Investigation to learn "who or what organization" was behind the drive. This brought a prompt retort from George V. McLaughlin, president of the Chamber, who pointed out that among the prominent persons backing the project was Mr.

Brody's former superior, Commissioner Bird S. Coler. Since the boys are not employed, said Mr. Brody, there is no viola tion of the Penal Law, as he at first believed. Mr.

McLaughlin In his statement, said that the Scouts who will visit every home in Brooklyn this week to distribute pledge cards are forbidden to receive contributions direct. Contributions totaling $127.11 have been received by the Chamber In the drive to date. The campaign will continue throughout the week. "Giant of Air" Ends First Leg of 13. S.

Toar Mitchel Field, L. Feb. 5 A huge Keystone monoplane landed here yesterday, carrying eight passengers in addition to the pilot, completing the first leg of a two-months tour if the country. The ship came from Bristol. Pa.

Interment at North Post Rural Cemetery on Wednesday, Feb. 4 cases before the Public Service Commission. The city now appears only through the courtesy of the Commission. Confers With Governor. Walker arrived here early last night and went directly to Governor Roosevelt's office on the second floor of the Capitol.

He was closeted with the Governor more than an hour. They discussed the proposition of building bridges and tunnels across the East River and ways and means of financing them. The Mayor is understood to have drafted a bill setting up a bridge and tunnel commission. The difficulty Is that bonds Issued to finance the commission would be charged against the city's debt limit, which cannot be exceeded without approval by the Legislature. While Walker and the Governor were conferring, Assemblyman Edwin W.

Wallace, of Nassau, was charging on the floor of the House that Manhattan politicians, owning real estate In New Jersey, are holding up the building of bridges and tunnels to relieve the traffic congestion across the East River. The Mayor's hope of setting up a sanitation commission to take over a number of city departments now controlled by the boro governments has struck a snag. The original intention of Walker and Controller Berry, who designed the plan, was to create a commission that virtu ally would end boro government, at least as far as patronage was con cerned. It was generally accepted as a nousecieaning gesture on the part of the Mayor. Patronage Saved.

The Boro Presidents, fearing the ruination of their political machines by the theft of their patronage, put up a strong fight, and tne commission, if the bill passes, now will simply take over the sew ers, after they are built, together witn tne incinerators and other disposal plants, and the water suddIv departments. The construction of sewers and the street cleaning de partment win remain with the Boro Presidents. Deliberation on all these proposals will require considerable time. The present intention of the legislative leaders Is to adjourn on March 22. If Walker's bills stir up any controversy the Legislature will have to sit at least until April 1 or else shelve the whole program.

In addition to conferring with Governor Roosevelt, Walker talked over his plans with Lieutenant Governor Herbert L. Lehman, Secretary of State Edward J. Flynn the leader of the Bronx Senator Bernard Downing and Assemblyman Maurice Bloch, the minority leaders, and M. William Bray, chairman ol the Democratic State Committee.
