of MOtT Sal fi I Steingut Opposes Deal if Brooklyn Gets More Judges Introduces Bill ThU Week to Add Five to the City Court Bench There will be no deal between Democrats and Republicans if the Republican controlled Legislature approves five more City Court judges for Brooklyn. Assemblyman Irwin Steingut, the minority leader, said last night. The bill, drafted by a committee of the Brooklyn Bar Association, will be introduced in the Legislature by Steingut this week. "I offer it simply at the request of the Brooklyn Bar Association," said the Assemblyman. "I have no recommendation to make, although my personal feeling is that the court needs relief.

"However, it Is up to the Legis lature. The one thing I am sure about is that there will be no deal for the disposition of the places If the bill goes through. Cases Far Behind "The figures of the Bar Association show that the judges in that court are 9.000 rases behind. Whatever the Legislature does will be satisfactory to me." Assemblyman Edward S. Moran, Brooklyn will introduce in the Legislature Monday night a resolution for a committee of three Senators and five Assemblymen to investigate juvenile crime, the causes and the punishment.

"After an intense study with the benefit of the testimony of these experts, it can then beJdetermined whether an entire new set of judicial machinery should be set up for persons between the ages of 16 and 21 with a separate court, separate detention pens, separate probation system and a separate penal institution," said Moran. Consider Age Limit "Tills commission could also con sider whether It would be more beneficial to raise the Jurisdiction of the present Children's Court from 16 to 18 years instead of setting up this separate system for juveniles. "But, to my mind, the most important thing to be considered by this commission, if appointed, would be the proposition of indeterminate I sentences for these young persons." 1 INCOME TAX town and barbed wire entanglements were everywhere. Food and munition supplies were adequate. The Japanese front line was three-quarters of a mile to the east.

The Japanese today put their total casualties in the Shanghai operations to date at 204 dead and 1,475 wounded. Army casualties were 104 dead and 975 wounded. and the losses suffered by bluejackets were estimated at 100 dead and 500 wounded. V. 8.

Evacuation Prepared American residents of Shanghai received detailed instructions from the American consulate today on what to do in the event it becomes necessary to evacuate the city. Each American was informed of the concentration point to which he will report in case it, becomes necessary to clear the city. If the situation becomes critical. United States citizens will be taken away from China probably to Manilaon American ships in nearby waters. Copvrlsbt.

by hi AuocliUd Prm 20 Nassau Towns Appeal Friday on Charge for Lights! 50 P. C. Slash in Cost of! Street Lighting Aim' of Village Association Special to The Eagle Lynbrook, Feb. 27 Complaints of some 20 Nassau villages against the municipal lighting rates of the Queensborough and Long Island Lighting Companies will be heard Friday in a hearing before the Public Service Commission, 80 Centre Manhattan. This was announced tonight by Mayor Howard O.

Wilson, president of the Nassau County Village Officials Association. He opened the movement for a 50 percent reduction in street lighting rates early last month with a formal protest. Companies Seek Delay It is understood the lighting companies will make an attempt to stave off the hearing with an application for new rates based on a newly prepared schedule. Wilson said he had heard about the companies' plans but was going to press for a 50 percent cut. "They've been promising to slash down the rates for years." he said.

"That reduction last year was so small that It made a difference of only $200 in Iyynbrook's bill. Lyn- brook pays $30,000 a year for street i lighting. It should be only $15,000. "Nassa uvillages are paying more a year than they should. The townships and cities, of the county are also over-paying.

Their loss through the antiquated schedule amounts to $50,000 a year." bringing lip reinforcements by land, A government spokesman said that three factors have contributed in making the Shanghai conflict BjiHiAM. war on naLionai scale, nc said these factors were the storm of censure against Japan from neutral powers, the attitude of the League of Nations, and fabricated reports of Chinese victories which have convinced the masses of China that the time is ripe to crush Japan. Avoid Clash With Russln In official quarters It was inti mated that it would be impossible fully to comply with the suggestions made by the ambassadors of the four great powers yesterday that no more troops be landed in the Shanghai International Settlement. There is no likelihood that Japan will court another international crisis with Russia, government spokesmen said today in commenting on the questions addressed by Russia to Japan in regard to Japanese military operations in northern Manchuria. War office and foreign office spokesmen said that Russia's "nervousness" over Japan's Intentions In north Manchuria were based on distorted interpretations of the situation.

A foreign office spokesman indicated that Japan might be preparing to hold Russia responsible for damages suffered by Japanese Nationals in northern Manchuria unless the Moscow government permitted troop movements over the Chinese Eastern Railway, which is jointly owned by Russia and China. Says China Will Bar Terms Washington, Feb. 27 P) Reports from Geneva that a truce at Shanghai is imminent were received here with great interest, but officials would not comment. Dr. Hawkling Yen, Chinese Charge d'Affaires in Washington, said he had no information of a truce, and believes the Chinese intend to stand their ground at Shanghai indefinitely, as Japan's truce terms are considered entirely one-sided by China.

League Boycott in Doubt America's participation in an economic boycott, should the League of Nations proclaim it, is regarded as doubtful because of the bitter op position of Senator Borah and other leaders of both Houses of Congress. It is also known in Washington that neither Great Britain nor France will support such a movement against Japan unless loyalty to the League of Nations make it inevitable. The full assembly of the League or Nations, with 54 members, possibly will support very drastic action against Japan when it meets on March 3. It requires only a majority vote to support such action in that body. But the League Council has the final decision, and as unanimous vote must be had in the council assembly, action will not necessarily be sustained.

Japan and China are members of the council, but would be excluded from voting. Senator McNary's Sister Dead at 74 Portland, Feb. 27 UP) Miss Nina McNary. 74. sister of Senator Charles L.

Tokio Supply Ships Arrive During the last few days several vessels have arrived with ammunitions and supplies for the Japanese, and on each of them there was a small complement of soldiers. About 1,000 men were landed yesterday. When the last crowded transport has arrived the Japanese unless they change their tactics will attempt once again to break through the Chinese defenses at Kiangwan and thereby cut off the troops defending the northern end of the Shanghai-Woosung line from the units holding the strong Chinese positions in Chapel. Then the plan will be to conduct separate operations against the two ends of the broken line. At midnight last night the heavy guns of both forces went into action in Chapei and Hongkew.

Defense Area Well Armed The cannonading c6ntinued until after 1 o'clock this morning. To noncombatants in the International Settlement it sometimes seems that the artillerymen time their gunning by the big clock on the Customs House tower, which Is plainly visible from both sides of the battle line. Inspection of the front last night showed that the opposing lines extended in a gentle curve from Woosung to a point nearly a mile east of Miaochungchen, thence south to Kiangwan and eastward around the village to its southern limits, and thence south to Chapel. The whole area between the Kiangwan front and the Chinese support positions in the vicinity of Tazar.g, four miles to the west, was honeycombed with artillery pits and machine gun nests. Village Defies Attack Northward toward the Lluhang hinterland the territory also was heavily fortified and swarming with soldiers.

Although the Japanese have claimed for days that they control the village of Miaochungchen, 3.000 Chinese soldiers were entrenrhed there and they seemed prepared to hold out indefinitely. Well-built trenches criss-crossed the entire HITS HIGH Governor Roosevelts Commission en the Administration of Justice. The result was that although 6tate Senator Walter Westall, ciiaiimaii me cumimaBiuit, he favored such a body and believed the other members of the commission agreed, it was decided to hold an executive meeting next saturaay to determine whether any legisla- tion would be recommended at this session. It also developed that while the commission will make no recommendation with regard to seven more City Court Justices, urged by Chief City Court Justice Edward B. LaFetra.

five of which are being sought for Brooklyn by the Brook lyn Bar Association and others, it ts likely that individual members of the commission will oppose the bill creating the new justiceships, which is scheduled to be introduced this week. Ethics Criticized Former Supreme Court Justice Daniel J. Keneflck of Buffalo, chairman of the executive committee of the commission, said: "Justice La Fetra and the Brooklyn Bar Association representatives came before us and asked for more justices that would cost at least $60,000 and yet they haven't even any place to house them. If a bill lor more justices is introduced, I would be disposed to oppose it actively." The hearing produced an unex-1 pected attack on the ethical conduct of the judges and Bar Association timitity by Eugene Boumenthal, a member of the New York City Bar Association and of the New York County Lawyers' Association. "There are men now sitting on the bench," he asserted, "because oi political and other considerations who have no proper conception of Judicial ethics and who bring the whole Judiciary into disrepute.

If we need a committee on ethics for the members of the bar, we need one for the judges, too. "The Bar Association on ethics is reluctant to answer questions submitted to them as to the propriety of specific judicial acts even when the name of the Judge is not mentioned by the lawyer making the Inquiry. A Judicial council should be created and given the power and authority to answer such queries and to make their answers public." Kenneth Dayton, representing the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York, submitted a proposal for a council differing radically from all the others suggested. The coun- I ell he would creat would be dominated by laymen, would have the power of assigning judges and the power to institute removal proceedings. Proposes Two Bills The discussion was opened by William C.

Breed, former president of the State Bar Association, who submitted and explained the Merchants Association's conception of what a judicial council should be. He also submitted two proposed bills to put it into effect. The first bill provided for a council of 12 to make a continuous study rules, procedure, to receive suggestions to devise methods for improving civil and criminal procedure and to make recommendations to the Legislature. Four members of this council would be judges appointed by the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, the chairman of the Judiciary Committees of the Senate and Assembly, two members of the Bar, two laymen and two professors of law all six to be appointed by the Governor. The second bill would restore to the courts full power to make all rules pertaining to civil or criminal practice not Inconsistent with any other statute.

Favors Local Councils John Godfrey Saxe, chairman of the Joint committee of all of the Bar Associations of the city appointed to co-operate with the Governor's commission, saw no need for a 8tatewide judicial committee, but suggested that the Legislature cut out about half of the 1,000 sections of the Civil Practice Act. Henry W. Taft. president of the New York County Lawyers' Association took a diametrically opposite stand. The real need, he con-, tended, wax for procedural and administrative reform In the courts and not changes in substantive law.

Calls System Outmoded Bernard S. Deutsch, former president of the Bronx County Bar Association, rounded out the discus-' sion by declaring that "there is not a single trial court in the city adequately supervised and administered." He added that congestion Is due to the fact that the court machinery is antiquated and outmoded." L. S. Lewis of the City Club presented and explained the reports on election of judges and mortgage foreclosure reforms made public by the club several weeks ago. The proceedings were enlivened at one point by a good-natured exchange between Prof.

Raymond Moley. a member of the commission, and Taft. While Taft was expressing-his disapproval of having laymen handle Judicial matters, Moley broke in: "You don't object to having laymen pay the bills, do you?" "Well, the lawyers pay for a lot of investigation for the benefit of laymen, such as the ambulance-chasing investigation." replied Taft. "But if there had been no lawyers, there would have been no need for such an investigation," chuckled Moley. "Now we're getting far afield." re plied Taft with a smile, and the subject was dropped, I Bridge World Team iii Final Continued from Page 1 1,610 points.
