219 ATLANTIC MORTICIANS THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, ROOSEVELT GETS CHANCE TO I WRITE POWER PROGRAM Uses Quiet of Country Estate to Marshal Facts for Fight. Engle Bureau, Capitol Building. Albany, Feb. 22-In the seculsion of his country estate at Hyde Park, Governor Roosevelt is today preparing for submission to the Republican leaders and subsequently to the Legislature his water power program. His plan for harnessing the St.

Lawrence and other waterways and distributing the generated power is awaited with the utmost Interest by both parties. Roosevelt left the Executive Mansion for the trip down the river yesterday afternoon. Before he set out in a blinding snow storm, he declared he would return on Monday with his idea on the controversial subject in writing. "I am taking all the available data and material with me to Hyde Park to prepare my power program," said the Governor before he left Albany. Seeks to Overcome Opposition.

It is not believed that he has scheduled any conferences for the weekend but has elected to go over the problem alone in the hope of setting on paper his views in a manner that will prove as effective as possible in the face of the Republican opposition to the administration's policy for State ownership and development and against long term leases that would tend to alienate the rights of the people to the product of their natural resources. The task is made more difficult by the fact that many of the members of the Governor's own party are some reported to be out of accord with of his proposals, although they approve in a general way of his policies on water Sometime ago it was learned from a reliable source that Roosevelt favors public ownership and development with private distribution of the generated power over transmission lines to be set up at the expense of the interests. Republicans have turned the cold shoulder to that proposition because they contend that no company would undertake the distribution unless it could have the guarantee of a long term lease that it would realize on its investment. Republicans Not Frightened. The Republicans are not frightened by the forthcoming conference.

They don't believe the Governor can offer anything that would force them to lessen their determination for long term leases for development. They feel certain that Roosevelt is up against a stone wall and has not progressed beyond the point where Governor Smith left off. They believe that the more Roosevelt has studied the situation the more he has become convinced that the deadlock cannot be broken. But in his inaugural message and his address to the Legislature at the opening of the session, he left the door wide open to a settlement of the vexatious question and pledged himself to work toward that end. The Republicans, anxious to know what he had in mind, virtually have forced a conference and a showing of hands by declaring the Governor is stumped.

Plans To Call Bluff. He does not intend to let them get away with such a statement and is spending the weekend he had hoped to devote to rest to writing out long hand the first draft of a message he hopes to give to the Legislature by Thursday after first talking it over with the leaders in the Senate and House of both parties, TUBE PANIC PROBE FIXES NO BLAME Inquiry of the District Attorney's office into the fire and panic in the Hudson Tube on Tuesday night, in which about 200 passengers were overcome or injured, was virtually completed today, with no culpable negligence discovered on which an indictment can be sought. A few more witne ses will be questioned tmorrow. Meanwhile, work went steadily forward in obeying the Transit Commission's orders to clean up grease and waste papers from the roadbed of the tube, as this is believed to have caused the recent fire.

Wide Differences Mark Personalities of Smith And Governor Roosevelt One Used Strong Cigars and Strong Language, Other Prefers Cigarettes and May Say "Darn" -Former Had "Kitchen Cabinet," Latter Sees Every One. Eagle Bureau, Capitol Building. By CLINTON L.

MOSHER. Albany, Feb. 22-Observers following differences, significant Al Smith and his successor, Smith smoked cigars, holding Roosevelt smokes cigarettes? in a holder. Smith wore a brown derby; Roosevelt sports a brown fedora. Smith bought natty clothes and liked them new; Roosevelt doesn't mind wearing a suit the second year.

Smith had no hobby, except possibly golf; Roosevelt spends his spare time reading naval history and working with ship models. No Knickknacks for Roosevelt. Smith decorated his private office with Tammany tigers, G. O. P.

elephants, statuettes of himself and various other knickknacks; Roosevelt swept the decks clear and hung the walls with pictures from his valuable collection of old prints of ships. Smith was hard to see and he had a habit of keeping people waiting; Roosevelt is easy to see and he seldom delays a conference past the scheduled hour. Smith frequently guarded his ideas behind a boisterous air of frankness; Roosevelt is frank to the limit. No Kitchen Cabinet, Smith had A kitchen cabinet; A EA PHOTOS. Roosevelt has none.

Smith delighted in easing out unwanted guests; Roosevelt prefers the glad hand, regardless of how slight may be the connection between himself and his caller. Smith had a lot of policies; Roosevelt has a few. He thinks policy is a lottery. Smith was on the warpath; Roosevelt is pacific. Reasons With Republicans.

Smith harpooned the Republicans; Roosevelt reasons with them. Smith was a declared Wet; Roosevelt's stand is somewhat in doubt. Smith graduated from F. F. M.

(Fulton Fish Market); Roosevelt has a Harvard diploma. Smith favored consolidation of county governments; overhauling Roosevelt of ap- the proves of an system but not a consolidation. Smith is a product of the sidewalks of New York: Roosevelt was born and raised on an extensive estate overlooking the Hudson at Hyde Park. No Wisecracks by Roosevelt. Smith liked wisecracks; Roosevelt can't make them.

Smith had a passion for headlines; Roosevelt is a trifle wary of them. Smith was "Al" to everybody, from the elevator man to his private secretary; Roosevelt is called Frank by a limited group. Smith was a politician; Roosevelt is a gentleman farmer and student of State government. Smith was cold to the farmers; Roosevelt loves them. Smith decided party matters with a few close advisers; Roosevelt calls in the leaders effected.

Roosevelt Prefers Automobile. Smith rode in a private Pullman car; Roosevelt sticks to his motorcar. Smith worked late nights at the Executive Mansion; Roosevelt gets in his heavy work early in the morning, dictating to his male stenographer at his bedside. Smith spent his first night in Albany in a men's hotel 25 years ago; Roosevelt, the Beau Brummel of Dutchess County, came here in style as a member of the Senate. Smith never bothered with the up-State Democratic organization; Roosevelt is working to make two Democratic votes grow where there was but one before.

Triangle 6467 NAVY BILL PASSAGE IN SENATE SEEN AS FILIBUSTER FAILS Legislators Agree to Limit Debate on $12,500,000 Fund for Building New Cruisers. Washington, Feb. 22 (P)-Opponents of the cruiser construction program have been beaten in their efforts to keep the naval appropriation bill from being taken up by the Senate. After voting yesterday to take up the bill, the Senate also reached an agreement to restrict debate on the measure after 3 p.m. today.

y. This was taken to mean that the naval bill would pass and that money provided in it to begin work on five cruisers during this fiscal year would be immediately available. It was feared that opposition to the bill might result in a Alibuster but two other threatened filibusters still remain to be dealt with. Senator Walsh of Montana has expressed strong opposition to a provision in the Interior Department bill which would give the Secretary of the Interior the right to condemn privately-owned lands in national parks. Senator Glass of Virginia has also given notice of his disapproval of the elimination from the second Deficiency bill of the $24,000,000 for Prohibition enforcement provided in the now defunct first Deficiency bill, and some interpreted his language as meaning that he might use filibustering tactics.

Before the agreement to limit debate on the Naval Appropriation bill was reached, Senator Hale of Maine, a sponsor of the cruiser construction program, made a concession. to the opposition when he said that he would amend the bill to provide only $200,000 for work on cruisers during this fiscal year. All the 15 cruisers and one airplane carrier provided for in the Cruiser and bill, which by has the passed both signed President, are to have work begun on them before June 30, 1931. Almost 500,000 is provided in the Naval Appropriation bill to take care of work on the cruisers for the first and secand year programs, though this probably funds." be supplemented by other "WELL OF LONELINESS" IS DECLARED OBSCENE "The Well of Loneliness," a book dealing with sex, was ruled obscene and placed on the long list of forbidden novels by Magistrate Bushel in Tombs Court, Manhattan, yesterday, It had previously been suppressed in Britain. The Court after reading Miss Radclyffe Hall's novel held Donald Friede of the publishing firm in $250 cash bail for trial in Special Sessions.

"I am convinced that 'The Well of Loneliness' tends to debauch public morals, that its subject matter is offensive to public decency, and that it is calculated to deprave and corrupt minds open to its immoral influences and who might come in contact with it," the magistrate said.

Here is where they are alike: Both advocate State ownership and development of waterpower. Both favor the abolition of the State census. Both read their messages to the Legislature at the opening of the sessions. Both are Democrats. Both were elected Governor.

DICE THREAT LED TO 'RAT' MURDER Bernard Levine, 20, called "The Rat," was shot and killed early Wednesday morning in front of the restaurant at 1563 Pitkin because he had threatened to "get" the man or men had won all his money in a dice game the day before. Police are now looking for three other young men said to have been with the two Sanoff brothers- -Isidore and "Butch'-in the taxicab which stopped in front of the restaurant a short time before young Levine was called into the street and shot to death. The man who is said to have won most of Levine's money was one of those in the taxicab, police say. EXPLAINS PHOTO FOIBLES.
