DELAYS BANKING QUIZ TO SAVE DEPOSITS HERE Assemblyman Story Holds Up Bill at Request of City Trust Group. Engle Bureau. Capitol Building.

By CLINTON L. MOSHER. Albany, March 12-Assemblyman Robert K. Story, the lone Republican from Brooklyn, announced today that his bill to appoint a commission to investigate the State Banking Department will be held In pending the outcome of negotiations to rehabilitate the closed City Trust Company through the formation of a new bank with capital funds of $5,000,000. Story said last week the failure of three banks in Brooklyn within a comparatively short time warranted an investigation of the Banking Department, headed by Frank H.

Warder, the Democrat elected to the post of superintendent by former Governor Smith when George V. McLaughiin quit that job to become Police Commissioner of the City of New York. Committee Urges Action. "Yesterday afternoon," said Story, "a committee claiming to represent 41,000 individual depositors in the City Trust Company called at my home with the request that final steps to create a commission to investigate the Banking Department be withheld pending the completion of the negotiations whereby they have been assured 100 cents on the dollar reimbursement." Former Supreme Court Justice Jeremiah T. Mahoney, counsel to Warder, said on Saturday that a "banking group," the names of which he declined to disclose, had pledged $5,000,000 in new funds to take over the accounts of the City Trust, and to set up a new institution.

He said it would require at least a month to complete the deal. Of the committee of depositors that called on him, Story said, "The request was not for the abolition of the intended investigation, but merely for temporary delay to prevent possible distrust on the part of the depositors in other institutions, causing probable runs on banks whose officers have agreed to make up the City Trust "Should such runs occur, it would, it was claimed, tie the hands of those who have offered to assist the losers in the Trust Company failure. Since I am convinced from investigation that depositors in other institutions are safe in continued confidence in their banks, and the proposed investigation 19 aimed solely at the methods employed by the banking department itself, it is only fair to those who have already suffered a loss that the temporary withholding of imaction be conceded, thus affording the individual losers an opportunity to recoup." Governor Considers Plea. Governor Roosevelt has "under advisement" a request from Frank Saitta, a Brooklyn attorney and depositor in the City Trust, for an investigation of the Banking Department. The Governor has said his primary interest is the possibility of the depositors regaining their money and that he will take no the action transfer of pending the accounts negotiations to for new bank.

If Story subsequently introduces his bill and it appears to have the backing of the majority, the chances are the Governor would be forced to beat the Republicans to it by appointing a Moreland Act commissioner to investigate the banking department.

They refused to sell their works for small prices, and because they carried no patent, someone else came along and made identical inventions.

HAYS HITS WHALEN WAR ON CRIMINAL The present method of warfare against the criminal is tending to set a dangerous precedent, Arthur Garfield Hays, the lawyer and founder of the American Civil Liberties Union, stated last night at the meeting of the Young Israel of Brooklyn at 563 Bedford ave. Police Commissioner Grover A. Whalen's attempt at law enforcement is a violation of every citizen's constitutional rights, he declared. "There is a movement on foot by the Whalen crowd to get permission to arrest the Mr. Hays said.

"Since a criminal is one who commits a crime, under dozens of laws, we are criminals every day. Given the right conditions, most of us are potential criminals. Whalen simply wants to maintain order by getting rid of all those outside a certain class in society." Mr. Hays, in closing, said: "Punishment is not for retribution. Men who have chosen such lives should be helped.

When they get out of jail it should not be made difficult for them to get along. They should be given a chance." Probe Alleged Suicide Of Babylon Machinist Babylon, L. March 12-Coroner Grover A.

Judging by what our State Legislature has done so far this year it is impossible to be optimistic as to its probable response to the Governor's program.

But this much is certain. The trend of the times is toward continued public ownership of the few natural resources which still remain in Government hands. With every year that passes there is less chance that these resources will be alienated from public control. Valuable water power is now going to waste. Harnessed and used it would add at once to the wealth and prosperity of the State.

But it is far better that we should face a temporary continuance of that waste than to take away the control of that water power from the representatives of all the people.

LIVINGSTON TALKS WITH LEADERS ON REAPPORTIONMENT Suggests Minor Changes in Bill to Give Brooklyn and Queens More Legislators. Eagle Burena.

Capitol Building. Albany, March 12 -Republican County Leader Jacob A. Livingston came to the Capitol today to discuss with Senator John Knight and Speaker Joseph A. McGinnies the proposed Republican reapportionment bill. Livingston said he suggested a few minor changes to the bill, which it is expected will carve out a new Republican district in the neighborhood of Prospect Park and Eastern Parkway.

The understanding is that the bill would add an Assemblyman and a Senator to Brooklyn, an Assemblyman and Senator to Queens and subtract an equal number ct legislators from Manhattan. Tammany will fight the bill to the last ditch. W. F. TIBBETTS DIES; HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER London Stenogs Now Boast Snake Skin Shoes and Furs (Special to The Eagle.) I London, March 12-The jungles of India and South Africa have disgorged their contents in "The City." Every stenographer in London now boasts three or four pairs of reptile shoes.

Five to ten dollars a pair is the cost here of shoes which bring twice the money in Paris and New York. Lizard, water-snake and cobra predominate not only on smart Bond but in the narrow byways off Piccadilly Circus, the Strand and around Trafalgar Square, where at noon working girls gather after to gossip and feed the pigeons which fly around the Corinthian column erected to Lord Nelson, whose victory in the battle of the Nile is responsible for the fact that the women of London and not Paris are the recipients of the great shipments of snake and lizard skins pouring in from India and Egypt. Practically every stenographer in London also boasts a fur coat, for furs are far cheaper in London than they are anywhere except in Canada. The pelt from the Canadian Northwest enters London duty free, so that mink, muskrat, beaver other furs can be made up at far less expense than in the United States or France. Rabbit, which comes largely from Australia and New Zealand, is dyed in all sorts of colors, and when dyed, properly in brown can be readily passed off for a few months as nutria.

At Selfridge's and other large department stores there is an amazing selection of fur coats to be had for less than $150. Furs are selling here for practically half what they would retail for in America. Today's Big News By. H. V.

KALTENBORN Governor Roosevelt Has a Plan to Develop Water Power Governor Roosevelt's water power message strikes the right note. Continued State ownership and control of the sites is the prime requisite. Private ownership has wasted and is continuing to waste too large a share of those natural resources which nature has poured so lavishly into our country, No one who has witnessed personally the reckless, wasteful, disastrous exploitation of the forest lands of the Northwest has much sympathy with those who seek to frighten us with the cry of socialism against commonsense conservation. To be sure, our business men have learned lessons. Most public service corporations have a broader conception of their public obligations than the lumber kings of the last century.

Even the oil men are getting together to keep the oil in the ground, not so much for the benefit of future generations, but to pre- vent overproduction and price cutting. Governor Roosevelt follows the general lines of the proposals by Governor Smith. Instead of a water power authority he asks for a board of trustees which shall be enabled to raise money, develop water power and sell it to private corporations. These anteed fair corporations return are to actually be guara on vested capital-not on capital watered and rewatered by new stock issues and holding company chicaneries. Rates are to be agreed upon by contract between the Water Power Trustees and the corporations buying the power.

The Public Service Commission is to have nothing to do with fixing rates. The Governor points out that Federal Courts by their arbitrary one-sided decisions have dealt very unfairly with the people in rate matters. They have overridden State authorities and have accepted the juggled figures of the public service corporations as a Two Laundry Racketeers Go Away for Prison Terms Samuel' Fogel, 28, 2085 E. 6th st. and Max Keshner, 25, of 203 New Lots a two suave but husky underlings in Brooklyn's most vicious and widespread racket- that which involves systematic extortion from laundrymen were sent to City today for one year and for eight months, respectively, by County Judge Alonzo G.
