It advocated an increase in the 5-cent fare. a reduction in the salaries of the higher city officials and study of the desirability of a city manager form of government.

Smith, when asked by The Eagle if the proposals of the association represented his personal views and if was present meeting at which there were adopted, replied tersely: Know Nothing About It, Says Smith "I know nothing about it." "I happen to be in that organization," he explained, "because one of the trade bodies I joined was the Eighth Avenue Association. I joined that because I was chairman of the County A Trust Company, located on 8th Ave. I don't know anything tall Chamber about of what Commerce the has West Side been doing." Another director of the West Side Chamber of Commerce is Joseph P. Day, real estate operator and known as a strong Tammany man. Favors Increase in Fares The resolution adopted by the organization calls for the formation.

of a "Committee of 10,000 to convince the city that an increase in subway fare would permit immediate operation of the 8th Ave. subway, would increase the city's credit and relieve city investments now frozen." The preamble states that local government cost would be essentially lowered "if the local government itself were more economically administered." James W. Danahy, managing director of the organization, in sending the resolution to The wrote that it has also been adopted by the Harlem Board of Commerce, the West Side Taxpayers Association, the Sixth Avenue Association, 42d Street Property Owners and Merchants Association and the 23d Street Association. Among the subjects the West Side Association of Commerce believes should be studied are: Elimination of Board of Aldermen. Elimination of county form of government.

Chiefs Governor Again Places Issue Up to LegislatureAsks for Referendums Albany, Feb. 16 (P) -With a State and a national campaign just around the corner, the troublesome waterpower question has laid once again on the doorstep of the Republican Legislature by Governor Roosevelt. The Governor wants municipalities to have the right to combine into power utility districts to utilize current from the proposed St. Lawrence development, and he asked also last night that communities be permitted to decide by referendum whether to manufacture and sell their own current. Republican Legislatures and Democratic Governors have had many a mighty tug-of-war over the waterpower issue.

For years it was a political football, the Republican lawmakers standing firm against the demands Democrats for public ownership of the power sites and for power development by the State. The Republicans last year killed off bills to carry out the recommendations Roosevelt made last night and there appeared little chance that the majority leaders would reverse themselves this year. Roosevelt sent a challenge with his message recommending the bills. He said: "There can be no valid objection to this legislation, except from those utility corporations which seek to maintain as exorbitant rates as possible." Mrs. Mary Seldin Left $51,000 Estate An of $51,000 was left by Mrs.

He was arraigned by Detective Angelo Trezza. Vasquez admitted having committed the murder, but said he didn't know the victim's name. It was said to have been another Filipino who owed Vasquez $15. Bill to Ban Old Motor Cars As Menace Pushed by Esquirol Eagle Bureau, Capitol Building. Albany, Feb.

16-A bill to clean old motor cars off the highways was introduced in the Legislature today by Assemblyman Joseph Esquirol, Brooklyn Democrat. It provides that no car five years of age or older can be registered by the motor vehicle commissioner without an inspection. "There is no doubt in my mind that the shabby and decrepit member of the motor car family that we Suggests City, Civics Unite to Protect Credit Co-operation on Citywide Improvements Urged by Brooklyn Chamber The Brooklyn Chamber of Commere is on record today with the first step to bring about tion between the city government and important civic organizations with a view to protecting the city's credit. The move came last night at the regular meeting of the board of directors in the Brooklyn Club, when Frederick L. Cranford reported for a special committee consisting of himself, Philip A.

Benson and Raymond H. Fiero. It was decided that it would be wise to seek the creation of a committee which would represent all the important civic organizations work with the city on a city wide plan for municipal improvements, expenditures and so on. President William Kennedy Jr. was empowered to appoint a committee to make a study of the subject.

The board of directors of the chamber at their meeting last night appointed the following nominating committee to name officers and directors at the annual meeting in May: James Sherlock Davis, chairman; Russell C. Irish, William J. Fisher, Robert E. Blum, Charles A. Angell.

Homer N. Bartlett, Charles L. Harold, William J. Wason and Charles G. Gorman.

Highway Links Urged The board sent telegrams to State Senators George Fearon and Charles Hewitt, Republican leaders, asking that money be appropriated to complete an engineering survey of Interborough Parkway. This was with a view to having the parkway completed as a link between Brooklyn and the Grand Central Parkway in Queens, consequently linking with the Northern State Parkway and the tri-borough bridge. A similar engineering survey was requested for a proposed extension of Southern State Parkway to connect with Linden Boulevard. These two projects would gain Brooklyn the benefit of developments along the routes of both the Northern and Southern State High- way systems. Disapproves Chain Store Bill The directors disapproved bills now before the Senate and Assembly to license chain stores and mercantile establishments in proportion to the number of stores, characterizing the measure as unwarranted restriction of chain stores.

They disapproved the Senate bill eliminating the bonding of contractors on public works. The Chamber directors also disapproved the bill which would require a State banking board of nine directors. Their criticism was that such a board would tend to relieve the State Superintendent of Banks of individual responsibility. They disapproved of bills to have the Governor nominate the judicial candidate to be elected to fill a vacancy and to move primary dates several weeks ahead. They approved a measure to regulate advertising along State and county highways.

Mrs. Fiske Dies; Famed Actress Continued from Page 1 dern) Davey. Her father was a well-known Southern theatrical manager and her mother the daughter of an English musician, who brought his large family to this country and organized a traveling troupe composed of his own children. known as the Maddern Family. Played Duke of York as a Child The daughter, when not quite 3 years of age, made her stage debut when she stood behind the footlights in Little Rock.

and played in "Richard III" as the Duke of York. From then on she acted continuously, with brief interruptions for her to attend convents in New Orleans, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Montreal. In spite of her continual change of residence her education was supervised always by her mother, a woman of broad culture. She became a star at the age of 16 and, a year later, she made her first appearance in a musical play called "Caprice." This proved a genuine success, although she never continued seriously in the musical comedy field.

She is remembered best for the fact that she introduced the famous song "In the Gloaming" in this play. She married Harrison Grey Fiske, author and journalist, in 1890 and retired from the stage until 1894, when she reappeared as the heroine in "Hester Crew, written by her husband. Subsequently she appeared in such plays as "Tess of the "A Doll's House," "Frou Frou," "Leah Kreschna," "The Queen of Bit of Old Chelsea" and "A Light from St. Agnes." which she wrote herself. In 1906 she opened in Milwaukee.

in a play called "The New York Idea." and the following year returned to New York in "Isben Rosmersholm," which was followed by ner best known stage vehicle, "Salvation Nell." It was in this play that she displayed her greatest skill as an emotional actress. All critics agreed that the scene where she, cast as a scrubwoman in a barroom. held the head of her drunken husband in her lap for ten minutes without saying a word, was the peak of her wonderful dramatic ability. Mrs. Fiske, although retired several years from active part in theater, kept up a keen interest in everything theatrical.

Last year she became interested in the movement for an endowed university theater and became one of a group of professionals on the advisory board and guest lecturers of the dramatic art department at New York University, EX-KING VISITING Former King Alfonso of Spain in Murren, Switzerland, where he went to visit his 20-year-old daughter, Maria Christina, who had been ill.

He was forced into a small truck and driven on to Cleveland. Strikes Guard Shortly after their arrival in Cleveland, two of the kidnapers, Jim, and another nan called went into a house to eat, leaving Blagden lying in the back of the truck under guard of a third man called "Curly." Blagden feigned sleep, he said and when Curley relaxed his vigilance the sportsman summoned all his remaining strength and knocked the guard to the floor with a blow to the stomach. Wresting a revolver from Curly's hand, Blagden struck him with it several times and then ran. "Is the paper right?" one of the abductors inquired. 'Are you a millionaire sportsman?" "No," replied Blagden, "I'm a school teacher." The kidnaper gave an exclamation of disgust and then asked, "Could your friends raise Blagden today telephoned to Lake Placid asking State police protection for other members his family.

Troopers were sent to guard them. Blagden informed his relatives that the kidnapers not only told him they could come back to Lake Placid "for the' others" but added the boast that they hed enough men in their gang to carry out the threat. Asks Elimination Of County Courts Elimination of the county courts and adoption of a unified court program were advocated by Dr. Hurshel V. Thornton, instructor in government at New York University, before the Brooklyn section, National Council of Jewish Women, the Jewish Center, 667 Eastern Parkway, yesterday.

"There is no efficiency in the present disintegrated court system in Greater New York," he said. "The county courts might well be eliminated and a unified plan, including magistrates. city and municipal courts, be substituted." In Mayor Walker's Town Six months have elapsed since Russell T. Sherwood, confidential financial agent of Mayor Walker and coholder with the Mayor of a safety deposit box, hurriedly left the city while Samuel Seabury's process servers were seeking him. Mayor Walker has repeatedly ignored Seabury's demands that he cause his agent to appear before the city investigation.

Sherwood's defiance has resulted in the imposition of a $51,000 contempt fine. Who is responsible for the continued defiance by Mayor Walker's financial agent? Who will pay the heavy fine that is buying Sherwood's absence and silence? MAYOR WALKER AND THE TAMMANY DISTRICT ATTORNEYS DO NOTHING. WILL GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT DO SOMETHING?

The awards to owners was for courtyard space along the main thoroughfare of Coney Island, not acquired by actual easement prior to the widening of the avenue. The Appellate Division affirmed the awards made in 1928 by Stephen Callaghan, then a Supreme Court Justice. The price set for the 20 parcels affected was $477,645. Assistant Corporation Counsel Patrick J. MacDwyer contended owners time of the thatenthe of Surf Ave.

Talley Lamb. attorneys for a majority of the Surf Ave. owners, indicated today they will present a motion to dismiss the appeal on the ground that the case cannot be reopened except on consent of the Appellate Division. Also, the time limit for the request has elapsed, they will point out.

Lee Fisher of 34 Sterling Newark, brought suit for divorce in Chancery Court here today from her husband, Dr. Hyman Fisher, of 527 Hinsdale Brooklyn, on the ground of cruelty and desertion. They were married Dec. 23, 1928, and thereafter Dr. Fisher told her, Mrs.

Realty Mortgage Moratorium Urged By Stewart Browne Owners Association Head Says Assessed Valuation Is Billion Over Worth Authorization by the State Legislature of a two-year moratorium on realty mortgages and their installments, when taxes and interest are paid, was proposed today by Stewart Browne, president of the United Real Estate Owners Association.

Browne made his suggestion in a letter to the Board of Estimate. "The Federal 'inflation the $2,000,000 Reconstruction Finance Corporation and liberalizing the Federal Reserve Banks' rediscounts are no relief whatever to New York City property owners," he wrote. "No effort is being made to cut the 1932 budget, which can be done to the extent of $50,000,000 at least. "I prophesy that during 1932 all skyscraper buildings built in the past four years (except those owned by financial institutions) will be foreclosed where not already fore- closed. Assails High Valuations "I estimate that assessed valuations are at least $1,000,000,000 over actual values measured from any basis and the bonded and other indebtedness of the city is over the 10 percent limit.

"There are thousands of old tenants who are behind two, three or even four moiths' rent owners are not dispossessing them, because they consider these claims for back rent when in occupancy better than vacancies or even with new tenants. "The principal way to recoup is by buying other securities at today's low market values to 'even This means calling mortgage loans in whole or in part. "A tax rate on the unit value of land is all right, if there is in addition tax on the net income of the property. But to tax the principal value of the property irrespective of its net income is a crime on the realty owner. No nation outside of the United States does this."

Shishaldin Volcano has again boiled over, shooting rock, ash and lava for miles around. Holdup Victim Says Detective Prompted Him in Identification A strange method of securing identification of prisoners was revealed in a robbery trial before County Judge Nova this morning. Michael Forte, 18, of 272 10th and Edward Jazwin. 16, of 248 11th were on trial on the charge that on Nov. 11 they held up Leonard Stevenson, a driver for Loser's, and took $340.

Stevenson. taking the stand a against them, testified that he had gone to a magistrates court aftertheir arrest, and that Detective James J. Powers told him Forte would be in a lineup and that Stevenson "could tell him by a button he was wearing on his lapel." Judge Pound Slated to Fill Cardozo Seat Senior Appeals Court MemberMay StepUp as Chief Takes U.S. Post 0000 so often meet on the public highways is a menace to motoring," said Esquirol. "Just to look at it will tell one that the owner has little or no regard for his possession and can hardly be expected to keep it in good repair.

The result is that the brakes become dangerously useless, the motor may or may not function properly and it is easy to conceive that a wheel may roll off its rusty and unkept axle, causing an accident or at least a tie-up." AGLE red-cheeked and peppy, the Whole meeting upon Vice President restore service temon the Whitestone line. "I was unsuccessful." he said, "in reaching Mr. Le Boutillier last night to ask him to delay abandonment. The attitude of the railroad has been arbitrary, high-handed and unfair. I had Mr.

Le Boutillier's promise to the city not to halt the line until the city had had opportunity to make emergency arrangements to care for the people and to come to some conclusions as to what should be done. I had his promise not to abandon operation till he heard from the city. Instead of that he has gone ahead and stopped the trains." Criticizes I. C. C.

Referring to the Interstate Commerce Commission, whose order permitted the abandonment, Walker said that group had "become an intra instead of an interstate commission." Albert Goldman, Commissioner of Plant ad Structures, reported that he had inaugurated an emergency bus line between Whitestone and Flushing today. He said 23 buses were operating. Aldermanic President McKee said that the report of his special committee on Whitestone would be ready Friday. Gloom Rides Last Train Perhaps you can figure it out. It's somewhat jumbled, this last train stuff about the abandonment of Whitestone spur of the Long Island Railroad.

Placards related the tale on walls and gates of Pennsylvania Station, Manhattan. Service was stopping at 12:01 a.m. today. And on rode the commuters into the morning. They even paid fares at 12:40 a.m.

It was an accommodation for those newspaper folk and persons sentimental to pay fares at such a late hour, the conductor said. It was either that or walk from goodness knows where along the branch line in north Queens to Manhattan. That return trip of 12:40 to 1:05 a.m., in round figures, that must have been the last train. Not the one that drew a total of 48 paid passengers. That one left Pennsylvania Station at 11:49 night and arrived at Beechhurst, the end of the line, at 12:22 a.m.

Those passengers voiced sentithey didn't the thrill they exments. Some, acknowledged that pected out of riding the last train. But there was Edward B. Fowler of 1428 150th Whitestone. He wouldn't have train for- well, anything.

The Oldest Commuter Mr. Fowler, you see, stole a ride on the first train. He was seeing things through right to the finish. That stolen ride made him the oldest commuter, he said, for he rode the line since 1878. Things go 'way back in history as far as Mr.

Fowler is concerned. He is a member of the Whitestone Boosters' Association for one thing. That is. Whitestone first. Then, too, besides having been born community, his ancestors were among a batch of settlers there 250 years ago.

Then there was Joseph Rauschweiger, president of the North Shore Bus Company, who stepped aboard at Flushing.

16 (P)-A quiet, modest, somewhat shy little man arose today to find himself the center of an almost universal. acclaim for his nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States. But the hundreds of telegrams of congratulation on his selection yesterday to fill the place vacated by the venerable Oliver Wendell Holmes did not turn Benjamin Nathan Cardozo from his duties A8 Chief Judge of New York's Court of Appeals.

The Court of Appeals will meet once during the recess to clear the docket and with that action will end 18 years of service in that court by Judge Cardozo.

Only nine other New Yorkers have gone to the nation's court of last resort. Only two others have stepped from New York Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court of the United States. Ward Hunt of Utica was appointed in 1872 and served until 1882. Rufus W. Peckham of Albany.

The other New Yorkers who were members of the Supreme Court were Brock Livingston, Smith Samuel Nelson, Samuel Blatchford, Charles Evans Hughes, the present Chief Justice, and Harlan F. Stone.

Mr. Hughes was twice named to the court in 1910 by President Taft and in 1930 by President Hoover. Hughes left the bench in 1916 to run for the Presidency against Woodrow Wilson. In moving from the Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court, Judge Cardozo will take a cut in salary. As Chief Judge his salary is $22,500 with an additional $3.000 per year in lieu of expenses.
