Utility Program Will Accept Challenge of Knight to Carry on Fight in Campaign Eat Birm, CibIIoI Bulldlnf. Albany, April 19 Governor Roosevelt next week Is expected to toss the major recommendations of the Knight public utility investigation commission on the scraj. heap and thereby throw the entire utility reg ulation question into the Statewide campaign this fall. The Governor is scheduled to talk to the people by radio next Wednes day night. He is to discuss the utility regulation bills sponsored by the Knight commission and on which he conducted a three-hour hearing yesterday afternoon with Senator John Knight, Republican Senate leader, appearing in the role of chief defender of the measures.

Means "Widespread Discussion" According to reliable Information, Roosevelt is prepared to accept the diplomatic challenge by Senator Knight in the latter's brief at the hearing, to set in motion a "wide spread public discussion" of the key measures Involved in the Republl can program. The first step in this discussion comes next week by radio. The Gov ernor is expected to elaborate on the utility question during the summer and bring it to its climax in the tall as one of his major re-election campaign issues. The valuation and contract bills keystones in the Knight commission program, are slated for the veto ax, according to all present indications. Expected to Sign P.

S. C. Bills The Governor is expected to ap prove most of the measures making appropriations for increased personnel and technical staff for the Public Service Commission, as a means of increasing the efficiency of the Commission. It is also believed he may sign the bill giving the Commission Jurisdic tion over holding companies. Just how many of the 34 bills dealing with one aspect or another of the problem are slated for Roose velt's veto is uncertain.

Believes Work Wasted It is believed the Governor con aiders that the $75,000 spent for the work of the Knight commission has been wasted; that a "mountain nas labored and brought forth a mouse." From sources close to the Governor, it is believed the chief reasons for the expected Executive vetoes are: That the legislation sponsored by the Knight commission failed to provide a statutory rate base for fixing future charges by utilities, That it. failed to fix a statutory "reasonable rate of return" for. the utilities, whether the return be 6, 7 or 8 percent or some other rate of return. That the Republican argument concerning the unconstitutionality of such measures would not hold water because the United States Supreme Court has never passed upon a question of that kind in rate cases. Stronger G.

O. P. Position Developments at the hearing yesterday found the Republicans in a stronger position than ever before in respect to their utility program, since all the measures, with one exception, were given the support of the municipalities. The only objections to any of the measures were raised by representa tives of two utility corporations Henry W. Killeen of the Interna tional Railway Company of Buffalo and William L.

Ransom of the Brooklyn Borough Gas Company. Killeen directed his arguments chiefly to Senator Knight and terminated his remarks generally with such expressions as "bite on that." Calls It Rigmarole" He characterized the program as "ridiculous rigmarole," said the commission has a "perfect misunderstanding" of the utility situation; declared that in amending some bills the only mistake the Legislature made was not in striking out the enacting clause; that Knight had "botched the that the bills were of "no legal use or efficacy to any one, anywhere, any Hi at the bills seek to "set up a holy office, a sort of Inquisition," and that the "one sensible bill," which he hoped the Governor would sign, "probably will never be made use of." Wynne Would Curb Use Of Flourides in Pies Recalling other recent cases of poisoning in Brooklyn resulting from the eating of Boston cream pies, Health Commissioner Wynne has suggested a sanitary code amendment barring the use of fluorides or other poisons by per sons not trained In their proper use. His suggestion was made after Health Department inspectors yes terday revealed they had found quantities of fluorides In the mocha icing of the cream pies which are believed to have caused toxic poisoning on Tuesday of 33 employes of the Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled, Manhattan.

MACY PROTESTS TO PRESIDENT ON PATRONAGE Continued from Page 1 district captain ringlne door bells. He was here, there and everywhere. This Is the picture Macy hopes to revive in the President's mind. A wealthy land owner, Macy's success in Suffolk and his prominence in the Hoover-Smith fight made him a power in State politics. Although he has been reliably reported in re cent years to be nursing an ambi tion to become Governor, he has never made any overt move to se-care a job for himself.

Macy's Previous Tilts. Macy got into a row with State Chairman William J. Maier before the opening of the last session of the Legislature because Maier refused to order a legislative probe of New York City. Piqued at the chair man's Inaction, Macy demanded his resignation but didn get it He got into a scrap with Stein brink when Steinbrink declared the Wallace bill, creating a new 10th Judicial District out of Queens, Nassau and Sufolk, was unconstitutional Governor Roosevelt took a similar attitude and vetoed it A Constitutional amendment making the same change in the structure of the districts was subsequently passed oy tne legislature. Admitting he had appealed to the president for help, Macy said today: "The Brooklyn organization had three Federal Judges, the Clerk of the Court, the Federal Attorney, the uonecior -i internal Kevenue and the Federal Marshal.

Queens has one Judge, and formerly had the Federal Attorney, Nassau also has one Judge. Suffolk has nothing. "Its time for a change, and I am going to fight to the last ditch for it," said Macy. College Plans to Drop Drones After 2 Years Madison, April 19 The Uni versity of Wisconsin is considering some drastic educational reforms. The scheme would facilitate the entrance of ambitious and worthy students and after two years, would drop all drones and provide greater freedom for independent progress by the genuinely studious.

The experimental college con ducted at the university for several years by Prof. Alexander Meiklejohn has provided data on which many of the proposed changes are based. Their main purpose is to reduce university expenses and improve scholastic standards. Hold Mother on Charge Of Abandoning Baby Girl Mrs, Anna Dionusrio, 21, 32 E. 1st Manhattan, was arrested yesterday on a charge of abandoning her daughter, Viola, 11 months old, after the woman identified the baby at the foundling ward of the Kings County Hospital, Brooklyn.

Will Abide by Opinon "I have absolutely no intention oi imposing my views on any subject on' anybody but shall be guided by the majority opinion of my party. Prohibition, as far as I am concerned, is no more dangerous a subject for us than it Is for the Democrats, as we all know perfectly well that it was originally foisted upon us by the Democrats. "Personally I'm neither wet nor dry, but after all it is not what I think but what the people in my party think about it I'm no hypocrite. I intend to find out what the prevailing sentiment is on the subject. When I find out what stand our members take on this matter I will uphold that position and fight for it.

Asks Quick Returns "I am about to take a poll of the members of the county committee on this subject. My letters and ballots will be in the mall tomorrow. When you receive your ballots I wish you would mark them and sign them and return them as soon as possible. No one need be afraid that the ballots will be duplicated, for they are printed on special paper and cannot be imitated. Soon we are going to find out where we stand.

It is not who is carrying the flag but where the flag is going that counts." Mr. Stein brink's apnearance at the 22d A. D. clubhouse last night marked the first time that he had Invaded Livingston's district since he wrested the leadership away from tne dethroned county czar. The in vaslon was not only bloodless but assumed all the aspects of a Damon and Pythias reunion.

Greeted by Livingston The county leader arrived at the clubhouse Just prior to 9 o'clock while the meeting was In progress and one of the first to spy him was me erstwnue leader who was seated in the center of the hall. As if shot out of a gun the dethroned boss Jumped to his feet and went to the back of the room where he grasped his successor's hand and conferred on him one of those Infrequent Liv lngstonian smiles. That done, the old leader took the new leader by the arm and led him briskly up the center aisle to the platform amid the vigorous applause of the several hundred persons in the room. And that done, the late chief retreated down the aisle to his seat to join the group of listeners. Mr.

steinbrink was at once pre sented to the crowd and received another spontaneous burst of ap plause. His initial remarks were of Mr. Livingston from whom he said he had received a "personal invita tion" to address the club. Brief Allusion to Shift He made Just one brief reference to the shift which put him in and put Mr. out.

That was at the outset when he said that "many Republicans not only in this district but in other parts of the county regret sincerely that the change was made." Then he began to talk shop and told the Livingston followers that "in this district more than any other" he felt free to talk right up and get at the root of conditions in the county. He observed that the meeting notices had billed him to discuss the "rehabilitation" of the party in the county but suggested that it might be more accurate to say "stir up new interest." "Must Stir Up Voters" "What we must do," he declared. "is to stir up those thousands and hundreds of thousands who go to the polls once every four years but fail to rally to our support in municipal and even State elections. We should remember that when a party gets so strong that it does not fear the approach of Election Day it be comes arrogant. That is equally true whether it is the Democrats in New York City or the Republicans in Philadelphia or Chicago.

i am one of those who believe that a man can have high Ideals and put them into effect in politics. I have no desire for personal gain in taking this leadership. I merely want to build up a more militant and a fighting party here. Your executive member on at least two occasions when he was leader was quite willing to honor me with office but I declined because of my love for my profession and because I felt that I did not rate it, Perhaps all I do will not meet with popular approval or even with ap proval in our ranks, but whatever do will be done in the best in terests of the party as I see it." Brooklyn Men Organize Business Conference Orsnnization of the Brooklyn Business Conference, subdivided into various classifications, according to lines of Industry, was effected at a meeting of more than 80 Brooklyn manufacturers at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday evening, according to an announcement by the Chamber today. John E.

Ruston, president of the Chamber, acted as chairman of the meeting. Many prominent manufacturers and executives cited the need for a closer community spirit in Brooklyn. am afraid that the one thing that we are suffering from more than any one thing else Is that we are not entirely sold on Brooklyn," Arthur S. Somers, former president of the Chamber and member of the New York City Board of Education, told the group. Harry Restel of 184 8th Ave.

ran Into the doorway of the bank to hide. He found that the two wooden doors outside were unlocked. In the vestibule he found the set of swinging doors also unlocked. Harry and his companions related their discovery to Patrolmen Walsh and Julia, who found no sign of disorder. Detectives Rogers and Carson and half a dozen sleuths from Police Headquarters hurried to the bank and located Lester Hope, assistant manager, at his home in Oceanslde, L.

Hope was positive all doors were locked when he left the bank between 5 and 6 o'clock last night, dore Maiee of the Missing Persons Cot Notice at Albany of Peril Count Henri De La Vaulx Victim Jersey City, N.

CONKLIN. of Huntington, N. Y. JOHN SALWAY, 37, of Albany, N. the pilot.

In the face of reports that fog prevailed and reduced the flying ceiling to 800 feet with visibility of one-quarter of a mile, the plane took off from Albany at 3:25 p.m. yesterday for the airport at Newark, N. J. It was in passenger service between Montreal and Newark. Barely Misses Roofs Shortly after 5 p.m.

the plane appeared out of the mists above Journal Square in the heart of Jersey City. Crowds In the Square watched In amazement as the plan; swooped close to the roofs barely 100 feet above the ground. Between the time the plane left Albany and its appearance here, the Weather Bureau reported that the mist had closed down until the flying ceiling was but 500 feet and visibility had been further reduced. Veering off to the northeast from above the Square, the plane was next sighted over the open meadows along the Hackensack River, near the power station of the Public Service Gas Electric Company. Henry Lehman, a watchman at the plant, saw the plane flying dangerously near the steel towers which support high tension power lines carrying 132,000 volts.

He seized a red flag and waved it in an effort to warn the pilot away from his danger. Before Salway could maneuver the plane away from the network of wires, his left wing struck one and the plane dropped, bursting into flames as it fell. Area in Darkness Inspector John Underwood, chief of Jersey City detectives, expressed the opinion that the occupants of the plane had been killed instantly by electric shock when the plane came in contact with the high-tension wive. The collision broke the wire and cut off power and light over a large part of Hudson County. Louis Landau, weather forecaster at the Metropolitan Airport at Newark, said he had telephoned a warning of low ceiling and' poor visibility to Salway at Albany.

Harry Gcrber, chief of the Airport Weather Bureau, said he had reported a 400-foot ceiling and visibility of one-tenth of a mile to Albany at 11:20 a.m. Department of Commerce regulations forbid passenger planes to fly when the ceiling it less than 1.000 feet and the visibility less than one mile. Count an Air Pioneer Count de la Vaulx, wtio boarded the plane at Montreal and was its only passenger as far as Albany, was making a tour to study aviation in North and South America. He was a pioneer of French aeronautics and a balloonist before the days of aircraft. In 1900 he established a world record for distance in a balloon, with a trip from Paris to Kiev.

Little Russia, a distance of 1.250 miles. In 1906 he broke the record for dirigibles by staying aloft eight hours. He was noted as an explorer and was a member of many scientific societies, was laureate of L'Academie des Science and La Societe de Geographic a Paris. Count's Death Shocks France Paris, April 19 OP) Death of Count Henri de la Vaulx, noted French aeronautical scientist, in a New Jersey plane crash yesterday shocked the French public and was regarded generally as a serious loss to aviation. He had wealth, social position and technical knowledge of aviation, which was regarded as unsurpassed in French air circles.

During many years of prominence he was awarded decorr.t innn by many countries, i FIGHT FOR BOOST IN PHONE RATES TO REACH COURT Continued from Page 1 company would be obliged to resist the determination and would endeavor to do so by process originating in the State co'irts." The company estimates that the new schedules would yield the same gross revenue of $288,000,000 counted on from the January schedules. The company contends that actual experience in February and March has shown that revenues were far below what was anticipated when the January schedule was drafted. The new schedules would assess all business lines in New York an additional 25 cents a month above the January figure. The increase over the temporary schedules now in effect would be from 40 to 50 cents a month for the different zones, while the monthly Increase over the rates In effect prior to Feb. 1 would be as much as $1 and $1.50.

The court had before It an appeal from a conviction obtained In Special Sessions against Leon J. Shapiro, who had knocked down a woman while he was making a left turn Into Cortelyou Road from Ocean Ave. The woman maintained she had a perfect right to cross Cortelyou Road at Ocean Ave. since the lights were turned against traffic on Cortelyou Road.

Of Whalen's action Spayd said: "It certainly will not only prevent many accidents but will save lives and prevent many Injuries as well, Just as will the Commissioner's order requiring motorists to hug the right hand of the curb with their machines when desiring to make a right hand turn." The Automobile Club, composed of 7,000 members from Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk, has no objection at this time to the Whalen regulation preventing motorists from swinging around cars stalled on a red light to make a right turn. However, the club reserves the right to protest if the rule is not an aid to traffic. To Take Up Dean St. Topic Another question the club 'will take up with Whalen, according to Cox, is the recent change in the direction of traffic on Dean St. Dean St.

was formerly a one-way eastbound street. It is now oneway westbound. "This prompts cars coming down Flatbush Ave. from Prospect Park to cut across in a left turn Into Dean St. to escape the jam at the Long Island Railroad station.

Meanwhile, eastbound cars are coming out of Pacific which Is one block nearer the station, so that cars making a left turn at Dean St. have to cut through not only the regular Flatbush Ave. traffic but also the traffic that has come out of Pacific St." Dean St. should be eastbound and Pacific St. westbound, in Cox's opinion.

Rule Is Explained Today came the first official explanation from the Police Department as to the reason for the change in the left turn rule. Inspector Byron W. Sackett, in charge of traffic for Manhattan, and, in the absence of Inspector Coleman, for the whole city, explained that it wasn't a change at all. "You'll find it in the traffic regulations," he said. "No left turn when you have to cross the line of traffic.

If you've got a green light ahead, why, you'd have to cross the line of traffic to turn left. And there you are." He added, however: "They've been getting so careless about it that we're checking them up now that's all." That wasn't quite all, "however. A reader from Glendale, L. who asked that his name be withheld lest he receive a summons or something, wrote to The Eagle today pointing out that, at four street crossings that he knows of the traffic signals carry the following printed warning: "Left Turn on Green Light Only." What he wants to know is what to do obey the sign or the inspector? Carbon Paper Machine Iuvctor Dies at 83 New Brunswick, N. April 19 Alexander B.

Fernald, 85, the inventor of the first machine to manufacture carbon paper, aled yesterday at his home in Mount Freedom, N. J. The invention came about, Mr. Fernald often reminisced, by reason of the fact that it was his duty when a young man to paint by hand with ink the copying sheets which it was then the custom to use. He discussed with his employer the practicability of doing this work by machinery and the latter said: "All right, make a machine." or fate of Eugenia Cedarholm, who has been missing from her home, 338 Schermerhorn Brooklyn, since November, 1927.

Decision to Dump out the cistern was reached following a conference between District Attorney and Banton Moore, Jamaica at-. torney, representing August holm, the missing girl's father. wild deer which has lived for limits of Paris is at last to be for its own protection. Be Today there are not more It Is too late either for them to Jump or for motorists to swerve. Dogs, too, occasionally get into the park at night and either kill them directly or drive them headlong Into trees, which are as deadly as motor cars.

Now the thickly wooded part of the park Is to be fenced, not so much to keep the deer In as to keep the dogs out, and to keep the deer from wandering In the path of speed demons after dark. At the other end of town the archaic old zoological garden of Paris is to be modernized. This wretched establishment, fully as be hind the times as the Central Park Zoo, is to be rebuilt by the Hagen-becks of Germany as part of the "deliverles-in-kind" authorized by the peace treaty. Instead of being In cages the lions, tigers, camels and monkeys will live in large open sections," built to represent their natural surroundings.

The American bison brought over few years ago by the American Legion will graze, not behind an iron fence, but as if he were free to run over the whole of Europe. Only his own good sense will keep him where he belongs. IIOYT OF YANKEES BALKS TWICE IN MORNING GAME Continued from Page 1 muff.

It is always a source of wonder to visitors to the Bois du Boulogne, the beautiful park on the edge of Paris, to push through the thick growth and be confronted by a dozen or more deer, ears bent forward, eyes wide with astonishment, and so timorous that close approach Is impossible.

Escape Is Not Barred The park entrances are not closed. Winter and summer the animals remain in the most thickly wooded parts of the Bois. They could leave it in a half dozen directions, if they wished to. But the instinctive preference foi forest prevents Vhem adventuring into any of the surrounding city. At night when the great park is relatively empty the herd ventures out from the thickets and motorists 6ee them flash across headlight beams flown by the Longchamps racetrack, up by the Jardin d'Ac-climitation, or even by the Pavilion d'Armenonville.

Parisians are too well-civilized to harass the timid animals; and the deer might live indefinitely in freedom were It not that they cannot adapt themselves to motor car headlights. It is no rare thing for the park police making their morning rounds to find one of them mangled and broken beside the road.

"The refrigerating interests," said Mr.

Dressier, "have blocked our plans for the last two years. They fear that the terminal building with a refrigerating plant of its own would adversely affect their business." Dressier named a refrigerating company which has a plant within a block from the market as the outstanding opponent.
