Ml.l-Aay between the street and the sky on the 14th floor of the Wool- worth Building alls John J.

Curtin foreei by circumstances Into the position of a political leader and desig nated by Tammany Chief George W. Olvany as an arbiter of patronage In Brooklyn with John II. McCooey. "How does It feel to be a potently political boss?" a caller asked Mr. Curtin today.

"That's an as-iumptlon of fact," he replied. "I don't know how It feels because I don't feel It." Doesn't Look Like Boss, "Jack" looks nothing like a political boss. He weighs only about two-thirds its mcch as McCuucy and can navigate o.i a dance floor as ad mirably ua any one in the stag line. He's a bachelor. He smokes black cigars but not at the Aldermanlc angle.

Until last summer, when forced Into the Democratic- situation by Governor Smith, who needed a two-listed fighter to handle Senator Walker's Interests In Brooklyn, Cur tin give neither time nor thought to politics. Today, however, by Tammnny Leader Olvany's own word. Curtin is at least PIT an equal footing In Brooklyn with John Mccoocy. Carrie Athletic Build. The man who carried Brooklyn for Senator Walker after MuCooay had tied up to Hearst, and Hylan is of imposing athletla build, blue-eyed, steel-haired and striking looking.

Curtin rose to prominence In Brooklyn a number of yearn ago. He vas president of the Cathedral Club and the Emerald Society. He Is a lawyer, handling big cine, mostly for Manhattan people, and Is reputed to' have made a fortune at his profession. Right now Curtin is lighting shy of this "boas stuff." He Joesn't like it. He doesn't want to bo a polltlnl leader.

There Is nothing he dlsliliis any more than to be called upon to distribute patronage. Plied high on Mv. curtin a tiesK are some 200 torn-open envelopes. containing written applications for jobs, must of them from men and women who worked with the Curtin committee during the primary cam paign against Mayor Hylan, Urlloves in Kquuro Deal. "How do you think the patronage ought to be distributed between your organization and McCpoey's?" Curtin was asked.

"Do you think it ought to be given out Just as though there had been no primary fight," "Obviously no," he answered. "Those, who worked to nominate Senator Walker In the primary cam paign in spite of the organization should have a reward If they desire It. There's got to be a square deal for ovary one. Mr. McCooey should get a square deal." Mr.

curiiu wa aaseu wnqmer ne helievcd both the city and county jobs should bo distributed on a SO-SO bauii bgtween Ills, and MuL'ooey's organizations. ''1 don't think it can tie qiecusteu on a percentage basis," Mr. Curtin declared, "but equality should be the word. It should be remembered that the Walker organization worked lust as hard for the county ticket In Brooklyn as it did for Sonatot Walker." Bcllovcs in Division, This was Interpreted to mean that Curtin believea the Walker people uught to share with McCoooy In the county patronage If McCooey la to share in the city patronage. "Do you think it's fair for Brooklyn to have nine comniiasloncrjhlps?" Curtin was asked.

"I do not. Again equality should be the word." "Just how do you think the Brooklyn places will be divided between jour followers and the McCooey or-I. animation?" "That will depend entirely upoti how many Jobs there are and hov many applicants we have for them." To Hold Conference. Curtin intends to sit down McCooey In conference very shortly. From friends of the new patronage arbiter it was learned that Curtin would like nothing better than entirely out of the picture following the distribution of" the Job and work In an advisory capacity, with McCooey continuing as leader ot the Brooklyn Democracy.

The patronage job Curtin looUa upon as a disagreeable one thrimt upon him by circumstances arising out of the primary fight. Mr. Curtln's attention was called to the fart that friends of Charles W. Jannlcky, leader of the 6th A. who have not been able to warm up McCooey to the suggestion that Jan-niuky be made Park Commissioner, would take their case tu him (Curtin Wants to Sec Smith President.

"Will you be able to do anything for Mr. Jannlcky?" "I don't know," Curtin answered. Curtln's ciftleo is a law ottlco In every sense of the word. A man looking for a Job cannot simply walk In as he can at the Hall of Itecords, where McCooey presides. There Is a legal atmosphere about everyone of the 13 rooms In the suite.

Lawbooks line the walls from floor to celling. Half a dozen lawyers are holding consultations with clients. Seven girls are on the Job every day. One of the busiest men of all Is William Carney, Mr. Curtln's secretary.

Governor Smith's son Is executive clerk in the office. He studies law at night. Since the close of the campaign Curtin himself has spent most of every day In court. Politicians have had to see him when they could. Curtln's greatest ambition In life is to see Governor Smith become President of the Cnlted stales.

Ho Is elso a great admirer of Tammnny Leader Olvany. Bronx Prosecutor to Fight Any Insanity Plea for Nye flayer. District Attorney John K. McGee-han of the Bronx was completing ma evmence today which nc win present to the Grand Jury Monday when he seeks an indictment against Gordon Plrlc, 19, confessed ax slayer of his chum, George. Francis Nye while relatives and friends of the murdered youth were attending the funeral services in St.

Luke's Unman Catholic Church. The funeral services for Nye were held at 10 o'clock this morning in St. Luke's llomun Catholic Church, 138th st. and Cypress the Bronx, More than 1.C0U persons attended the low reitrein mass serv-Ires. Interment was in the family plot In old Calvary Cemetery.

So far as the unnamed girls, alleged slanders against whom by Ne were given by Plrle as his reatton for the crime, are concerned they probably will not appear in the case until the trial, Mr. Mctleehan said. Then they will have chamw to tell their story in, open court cither as witnesses called by I'lrie or by the District Attorney, to give the lie to l'irie's allegations. "I am convinced that if these girls: two of whom I questioned yesterday, were aspersed by Nye his aspersions were false," Mr. MeGee-han said.

"One of them has offered to submit proof that the tale Nye Is alleged by Plrie to have told could not possibly ba true." Two tnvestlgators from the District Attorney's' office will report today on l'irie's record from the time ho entered P. S. II, at 144th st. and Mott the Bronx, until ha left Stuyvesant High School in his third year last fall. By this investigation as well by the report of Dr.

Menas Gregory, held of the psychopathic ward at Bellevue Hospital, who examined rirle, the District Attorney wurt Iw will combat any defense plcapf in-68 ntty. l'irie's trial following his Indictment will in all probability begin immediately after the Christmas holidays. At the young slayer's arraignment in Bronx Homicide Court tomorrow (Friday) morning, the District Attorney will move that the case be adjourned until Tuesday. i Freight Rate Cut on Meat Little Aid to Consumers Meat packers of New York City, in commenting today upon the ruling rtf the Interstate Commerce Commission lowering the railroad rate on fresh meats from Chicago to New York and nearby point's from 87 cents pe hundredweight to 79 cents, were of the opinion that while the 8-cent reduction would lower meat prices here to some extent, the change would not be enough to be appreciable, as far as tho public is concerned. MAYOR EXPLAINS CLAMPING OF LID Done to Stop Cops' Slackness as Administration Ends.

Mayor Hylan today explained that his orders to the police yesterday to "clamp the lid on all vice" were not duo to any unusual conditions, but only intended as warning to prevent any slaokness in the clin'ng days of his administration. "Near the termination of a public offlrial's administration," the Mayor said, "there seems to be an Idea that tho official docs not care what happens, and violators of the law become very In some Instances the administrators of the penal law. not knowing whom they arc going to offend, are more or less cautious of stepping on the toes of some of the powerful violators of the law. "Llefore I'olice Commissioner F-n-rlght left town with bis wife, who is ill, we had a talk ubout those who had hopes of 'opening lie told me he hart given Acting I'olice Commissioner Leach, as well as the head of the vice squad, instructions to watch everything very carefully. I told him that I would give my personal attention to conditions while he was away." DRUNK, BEATS WIFE; OFF TO WORKHOUSE Magistrate Dale in the Fifth.

Ha made no comment during the argument over the bail, and went down to the pen when the court ruled against him without protest. Judge Haskell refused to take the responsibility of lowering the bail unless Sullivan consented.
