When a measure which will have the effect of Increasing most city employees' pensions came up before the Board of Estimate, sitting today as the upper house of tho Municipal Assembly, Controller Craig Immediately accused Mayor Hylan of framing It for his own personal benefit.

The measure Is an amendment to the pension ordinance providing for computation of pensions on the basis of the average salary received during the past five years In office, Instead of the past ten years, as heretofore. An Mayor Hylan's salary was increased two years ago from $15,000 to (25,000 the amendment will benefit him to the extent of adding (800 a year to his pension.

The amendment was passed with only Controller Craig voting in the negative.

"The purpose of this bill is to make a donation of the public moneys to John F. Hylan," declared Craig as soon as the amendment was read. "I am not opposed to the bill on general principles." Red with anger, the Mayor shouted: "I had nothing to do with the Introduction or the framing of this bill. Behind this bill there are 32,000 city employees who will benefit thereby." "I don't care," retorted the Controller. "There may be 32,000 employees behind this bill, but there Is one right here in front of It." A shout of laughter greeted this sally.

11 Republican politicians are lied uo In a hard knot over the Federal Judgeship In Ercoklyn, from which thy can extricate themselves only with pnln and difficulty. Nineteen candidates, official and otherwise, have been put Into the field, and the contest ha deteriorated Into an undignified scramble for the Attorney General's favor. Thu Klng County Republican organization Is split Ave ways. Senator Wadsworth can't bring himself to settle upon any one candidate, fearful of political consequences. Sargent May lick Own Man.

And the possibility is Increasing that Attorney General Sargent, as lias been done In tho past, will sweep aside all tangled political complications and pick his own man, without the advice of Wadsworth or the leaders of local factions. To make the situation even more dramatic, Congressman Robert L. Hacon of Long Island is actively at work trying to put across Clarence Galston of Woodmere, L. for this Bench Job. He has attempted to get Senator Wadsworth to cut tho knot by throwing his support to Galston and thus disengage himself from the Brooklyn complication; but so far the New York Senator has been cold to this proposition.

Undaunted. Mr. Bacon has taken his candidate directly to the Attorney General himself, where, it Is understood, Galston made a good Impression. If Mr. Sargent finally becomes Impatient with the political pulling and hauling on this nomination and decides to choose his own man the visit of Galston to the Department of Justice will be Influential in that selection.

Wadsworth Is Worried. Senator Wadsworth, his friends say, Is showing more worry over filling this Judicial vacancy than over any other recent appointment he has been called to pass on.

Fateful Letter That Ten Days Ago Would Have Prevented Suicide in Switzerland Arrives and Adds Pathos to Tragedy of Jurjewskaya.

Berlin, Dec. 11 Had a certain letter from New York arrived here 10 days ago, Instead of only last night, the young and gifted Russian prima donna, Zlnalda Jurjewskaya, who leaped to her death last week from the "Devil's Bridge" at Ander-matt, Switzerland, would probably be alive and happy today. This Is the assertion of her lawyer. Dr. Jarfe, who Is In possession of the fateful missive.

It offers Jurjewskaya a contract to appear a' the Metropolitan Opera, In New Toi City an opportunity for which she. like many other young stnsers, yearned. Jurjewskaya was of an extremely nervous temperament, Dr. Jaffe said toduy, and this condition was aggravated by excessive study, burn of an Insatiable ambition to stale tho heights of her chosen art. letter's Delay Inspired Tear.

"Jurjewskaya's depressed snlrlts were due chieflv to fear that her artistic offerings might not be equal to the hlKhest standards." the l)-r said. "Arthur Hoduneky (conductor of the Metropolitan) Malted her during his recent trip and tnld her she would hear from the Metropolitan as soon as possible after his return to America. When the weeks paael w-tthout the coveted offer she feared she had failed to make the grade," Dr. Jaffa believes Jurjewsknya's choice of the "Devil's Bridge" for her death leap was Influenced by tho fact that the only Kusslsn monument In Switzerland Is nltuated there. "The prima donna was of a highly fantastic and mystical nature." he said.

"Not only the romantic surroundings of Andertnatt, but also the presence of the monument, with Its Russian Inscription to Gen. Prince Alexander Suvarow, probably decided the place for the suicide." General Suvaro headed the Russian and Austrian armies in their campaign against the French in northern Italy In 1799. His monument Is In the form of a Greek cross. 40 feet high, hewn Into a granite niche 80 feet long, and Is a prominent landmark because of its position.
