From the land where Hindus burn their dead publicly on wooden ghata came a cargo of fire-rock to Brooklyn today. And behind the cargo is the story of a business soldier of fortune, Henry A. Golwynne. Golwynne is an Englishman. He was decorated for his service In the English army at Vimy Ridge, Lens and Passchendale.

to mention Representative Fiorelllo H. La-Guardla, defeated Republican-Fusion candidate for Mayor, revealed himself in a fighting mood today ever Republican County Leader Jacob A. Livingston's suggestions for the good and welfare of the party. The fiery little Congressman, obviously peeved at some ow Livingston's remarks, twitted the member of the Board of Elections with "some Interesting experiences" along the line of bipartisan administration. LaGuardia seemed to think that the suggestion for the election of county leaders by the enrolled membership of the party the only one of Livingston's proposals that iiiiil 1 'i 1 M'feCt 1 i KJyirlfj lift 1 Mi ii'iwti- ii am i iwim i Mian mmm -in Unloading India fire-rock at pier 41, Erie Basin.

Henry A. Golwynne, discoverer and importer of the material, shown in inset. Personal Spites Part in Swirl Play Grave of England's Politics at Home and Abroad was worth while. The suggestion of popular election of county leaders was the one that get the coldest shoudder from influential Republicans. He Wires His Views.

LaGuardia, who is in Washington, was Informed that Livingston said the former was defeated because of his wet stand and foreign extraction. Whereupon the former Mayoralty candidate promptly telegraphed The Eagle: "Replying to your telegram, I do not understand the innuendo made as to my 'forelg As a native American my status Is no different that, that of the present Mayor or past yors of the City of New York. stand on Prohibition is well known. I do not believe the law is enforceable, and honestly so stated." Then LaGuardia Issued a warning to his party against going bone-dry, saying: "If Republicans of New York City decide to adopt a bone-dry plank in their platform they can do so, but it will drive a great many sincere planks in my platform. "It is early now to talk of selec tion of a nominee for Mayor four years hence," LaGuardia continued.

Republicans voted with their eyes open and refused to take the oppor tunity to defeat Tammany. At the proper time we will all have something to say about the candidate for Mayor." As to Election of Leaders. Concerning Livingston's suggestions that the county leaders be elected by the primary vote of enrolled Republicans, that the Board of Education and the Judiciary be bipartisan, LaGuardia said: "Election of county leaders by enrolled voters is interesting and worth considering. Bipartisan boards are of no avail. Mn Livingston himself has had some interesting experience along these lines.

Had I been elected I would have caused removal of several Magistrates and would have appointed men of high standing. The same is true of the Board of Education. These were plank in my platform. "I am strongly against an appointive judiciary," he said of the proposal to have the Governor pick Supreme Court Justices with the approval of the State Senate, "and therefore do not approve the suggestion." Becomes "Fighting Mad." The Republican county boss' suggestion that Independent Democrats be named as Mayoralty candidates by the Republicans seemed to have made LaGuardia "fighting mad." La Guardia "dared" anybody to do it, saying: "If any one desires to go on record as approving only Drys in New York City as candidates and approving only Democrats as candidates and also disapproving the sound of a candidate's name, I Just dare anyone to adopt or suggest such a policy. Do I understand that anyone has suggested such a policy? Has No Rancor at Voters.

"I have.no resentment or rancor against anyone who voted against me, as I believe in universal suffrage and the fundamental principles of Democracy. I offered a constructive platform to the people of the city of New York and I exposed conditions which were shocking, to say the least. The voters have decided, and I abide by the decision, but I resent nasty or bigoted innuendoes and I am certain Mr. Livingston did not Intend it that way." George W. McKenzle president of the Brooklyn Young Republican Club, In a statement renewing that organization's contention that Gen.

James G. Harbord should be cltywide leader of the Republican party, declared that a citywlde leader should not be bur dened with patronage problems. a few plnces along the western front where he developed new com munication devices for use against the Germans. In 1920 Golwynne came to a hall bedroom on Hit ks determined to make his fortune. He was 30 years old.

In his pocket was less than S300. In his mind were war mem ories and vague remnants of an ex cellent English scientific school The Affair in llliks St. "I was resolved to work enly for myself, even tf I starved awhile." he said today, at Pier 41. Erie Basin, as stevedores began to unload his carso of India fire-rock. "My first chance came when a fel low tenant In the Hlrks st.

nddr" asked if I knew where some dl metheylanlllne could be found." 'I know a man who wants said my friend. I replied. 'Or But I had never heard or such a word before." Golwynne looked up the wrr' In the dictionary, then Rot bi s-. T9 man supposed to want dimr th-'n-ii-line did not want It any iro' it still did want aniline oil. So Golwynne got in touch with chemical companirs until he discovered some aniline oil.

and made a deal. "That is how I set up my chemical business office In lower Manhattan," he said today. "Blame the pitchfork of necessity." A year later Oolwynne, still officially In the chemical business, was shipping American automobiles to Smyrna and Greece, because he had found a market there. He Finds Magnexlle. In 1924 he was on a ship to India, with no plan In his mind excrpt to find some product which could profitably be shipped to America.

He found magneslte. a fire-rock now used In composition floors, also stucco, magnesium and other products. Four years later, on another trip, he came on sllllmanlte, a variety of rock which makes unbreakable crockery. The first shipments of sllllmanlte are Just arriving la this country. The rock Is shipped in big chunks and Is ground up and purified at a plant right on the Erie Basin pier.

Today Golwynne told how he tried to become the Henry Ford of India. "I had a lot of coolies working for me who were getting six annas a day," he said. "An anna is about 2 cents. I decided to pay more and get the best help, like Ford. The Hindus Go Modern.

"One Saturday, without announcement. I Included two extra annas a day in the pay envelopes. To my surprise, Monday not a coolie was on the Job. They had gone on strike, figuring that if I gave them extra pay of my own volition would give more If pressed. "I fired the whole crew and started over again at the old rate and beat the strike." The great value In the forms of chemical rock discovered in India by Oolwynne Li their unusual re.

Three hundred guests atended Music was furnished by the huh. school orchestra. Mis Knthryn Sly, senior class advisor, with a student committee, sponsored the party. MISTAKE 1 In a rather high-hat hotel, the room clerk looks sternly at you the counter, not at all certain a room will be available if you haven't wired ahead for reservations. Then, noting the name of a newspaper on the registration, he at once becomes friendly and confidential "Are you a reporter doing this shrine story? I guess we can fix you up all right.

Say, they're having a dance here tonight And the man taking tickets he was cured. He's right there." Cripple 28 Years. The dance is by employees of William A. Fllene's Sons Department Store. Two men are taking tickets, and obviously they, too, are employees, for they exchange pleasantries with all the guests as they come by.

You take a couple at random, approaching the door, and ask, "Is there some one who was cured at the Maiden shrine?" Simultaneously man and girl answer: "That's Mr. Buckley over there." Michael F. Buckley he is, a young man of 34. He gets up from the ticket table, walks across the lobby to be out of the way of the incoming guests. He says it was the right leg.

"I was stricken," he says, "when I was 6 years old, 28 years ago. Slipped on the ice and twisted my knee and had to wear a brace. For 28 years I wore it, and whenever I took it off I couldn't walk. My knee Just went like that I couldn't stand." He stops silent for a thinking of something else. "Nothing's been printed about this.

I don't want any publicity or anything like that. About two weeks ago I went to the shrine. I felt a little better. Last Thursday afternoon I went back, and I took off my brace. It weighed 12 pounds and I carried it home.

I've still got it and I could show it to you. I've been working and walking ever since without it, and the leg's getting stronger every day." A very serious young man is Mr. Buckley. "I've gone back there," he says, "every day since. It's the most wonderful series of cures In the world, I guess.

Isnt it? People say you know the way people talk I could have walked without the brace before if I had tried. They tell you it's mind over matter. Well, it's easy enough to tell, somebody else you can walk if you try. "But I tell you this: When a piece of steel in my brace broke once that leg was dead. When I took the brace off that leg was dead.

I had doctors. They said I would never walk without a brace. And well, look at me now." He walked back across the lobby without the sign of a limp, shook hands, said good by. MURPHY DENIES HE SOUGHT TO SETTLE Former State Senator Charles F. Murphy today Issued a statement denying that he or his law partner R.

"Oh, how I must have changed," remarked Judge Al-geron Nova. orcn uerman juoya irom oourn Brooklyn to the North River puts an entirely new angle on the trans portation problem.

There is a strong probability that the United States Government would sell its four piers on the Brooklyn waterfront, now occupied as an Army Base, to the City of New York or to a private corporation. If such a sale were consummated 12 great Atlantic passenger steamship lines could be accommodated and the present system of dockage revolutionized. I get it on very excellent authority that the War Department would consider the change of ownership. In fact, such a sale to private parties was discused a hort time ago the proposed purchasers being headed by a Western man. Has Four Big Piers.

The Army Base property extends from 58th St. to 63d st. and on the waterfront back to 2d ave. There era 2 000 feet, nf wntprfrnntRffA And i i i i wie luur mne piers imva jcukwi of 1,300 feet and a width ot 150 feet each, i The cost of building these piers and establishing the warehouses and other improvements contingent to them was $30,000,000. But I am given to understand that the Government would sell the entire property for 112,000,000, arranged on favorable terms to the purchaser.

The Army Base, In the event of such sale, would be moved to the" Government's property In the Port of Newark, occupied during the late war as an Army Base and now rented out on short time leases to private parties. There has been considerable confusion as to the rental now being paid by the North German Lloyd for the use of Pier 4 in the Army Base. Some figures have put it as high as $200,000 a year. As a matter of fact, the Government rents that pier for $50,000 a year to middlemen, who, in turn, re-rent it to the North German Lloyd as the landing place of the liner Bremen and other ships for approximately $150,000 a year. Brooklyn, naturally, Is anxious to keep the North German Lloyd steamship pier over here, but let us look at the situation from an unprejudiced standpoint.

Want Permanent Home. The chief reason for the North German Lloyd's considlng moving its pier from the Army Base in Brooklyn to Piers 32 ana 3i at ine foot of Canal Manhattan, is, as H. 8chuengel. general manager oi the organization, told me the other day. to obtain a permanent aocxage for its ships.

At the Army Base a lease of only two years, witn an option of two additional years, can be obtained, subject at any time, under an emergency, to cancellation. On the other hand, an extensive increase of rental would be exacted on the North River wharfage. That sum has been placed as high as $400,000 a year, which Mr. Schuengel franklv told me he would not pay That figure probably is exaggerated, but. according to the method oi me Sinking Fund Commissioners in ar riving at the rental charges oi ine city-owned piers, the rental of Piers 32 and 33 wouif come pretty ciuse to that amount.

Both Diers 32 and 33 are neces sary if the North German Lloyd makes the change. Rental Much Higher. Let us see what the rental would have to be if the Sinking Fund Commissioners carry out their usual methods ot calculation. In round numbers say the cost of purchase of Pier 32 is $2,500,000 (and that would include necessary alterations) and that the additional improvements -would reach $2,000,000, making a total of $4,300,000. This included a land under-water charge of 0.3377 per square foot.

On the total charge the city expect a return of 8 per cent. On this basis rental of these two piers would be approximately $360,000 a year, it nas oeen said however, unauthoiitlvely, that an offer had been made by the city to the steamship lines ot a rental of $275,000 a year. The second point made by the Oerman line authorities la that the transportation facilities 'from the Brooklyn pier to Manhattan are bad. That is true under present conditions. But suppose the United States Government should sell its four piers in South Brooklyn to the City of New York or a private corporation.

What could happen then? In the first place take the rental. Wants 8 Fer Cent. If the Government would sell the piers for $12,000,000 and It the cost of Improving them for ocean pas-sengerhlps amounted to $2,000,000, there would be an Investment of $14,000,000. Now, even at the city's high Interest charge of 8 per cent, used in computing rental charges, the return on the Investment would be $1,120,000 per annum. If 12 pas-rtnger ship lines could be accommodated at the Brooklyn piers and with the double piers eight of the largest size can be wharted at the same time (which number would not be likely to be reached), the cost per annum to each ship line would be $93,333.

As for transportation, the City of New York or a private corporation could provide that with better facilities than now exist at the foot ot Canal Manhattan, with the congested condition of the streets. And. especially this transportation to Manhattan from the South Brooklyn piers would be vastly improved over the Manhattan tie-ups if. in a few years, the proposed Hamilton ave. vehicular tube is built, landing passengers from ths South Brooklyn piers to the Battery in a few minutes.

Add to this (art that th ship arrive from the outer harbor st least one hour earlier than they ran reach the piers at Canal the passenger bound Please Turn to Fag Bishop C. B. Colmore.

Willi Willis leads him often to quote the Scriptures when he Is making po litical speeches; and in the India debate he referred to Mr.

Benn, the Labor Secreatry of State for Indian Affairs, as "a pocket edition or Moses. Quick as lightning Mr. Benn re torted, "At least I have never worshiped the golden calf," to which the other snapped back angrily "The rlnht honorable gentleman has shown a very shrewd appreciation of what Is known as the main chance." Benn's reference to the golden calf, of course, was a gibe at the notorious Lloyd George political fund, subscribed mainly by rich men (war profiteers, many of them) to whom in return Mr. Lloyd George when Premier gave peerages. Lloyd Oeorge always hates any public reference to this fund; and the anger that blazed on his countenance at the time of the Benn incident was such as the House had not seen for many a long year.

Nevertheless he scored a point in his retort about the "main chance," tor Benn, only two yenr ago, seeing that the political pros pects of the Liberals were hope less, left them and Joined Labor- Just in time, as Lloyd Georgo insinuated with some Justification, to be rewarded with high office in the Labor Government.

For Lloyd George's pride had been wounded deeply and publicly, and he will revenge himself on Benn and Benn's party at the earliest opportunity. The question is: When that opportunity arrives, will Baldwin be able to frustrate Georges purpotte as he did on this Indian occasion? 1,000 Nurses Ready For Emergency Here The Brooklyn chapter Is organized for relief.

22 On the eve of the meeting here today of railroad executives from all parts of the country to consider the Hoover ex pansion program, an appeal was made last night by H. V. Kaltenborn, associate editor of The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, for the same wholehearted co-operation in constructive alms that Americans gave in de structive efforts in the war. Mr. Kaltenborn's appeal was made In an address at the 21st annual banquet of the Railway Business As sociation, in the Stevens Hotel, and won enthusiastic response from 2,000 members and guests ot the assocla' tlon.

Speaking on the International horizon and sketching for his audi ence some recent observations on business and political conditions in various parts of the world, he said "Stock market flurries will have no effect on the dominant part which our country is playing In world affairs.

In the Individual retail stores the prices will range from 50 cents for average birds to 60 cents for the best By CHARLES ODY (Special Correspondent The Eagle.) London, Nov. 15 (By Mall) The Parliamentary debates on India revealed once again tiie amazing extent to which purely personal considerations obtrude into British politics, even where issues of major importance are concerned.

The whole thing arose out of a rather bad blunder by the Labor Govern ment, which permitted Lord Irwin, the Viceroy of India, to make a declaration to the effect that dominion status for India was the goal of British policy. Why was this a blunder? Simply because Parliament two years ago appointed a statutory commission, under the chairmanship of Sir John Simon, to investigate the whole question of Indian political reforms. That commission's report is expected early in the new year; and In allowing Lord Irwin to make an Important declaration of policy without waiting tor the report the Government was, to say the least, guilty of an affront to the Parliament which had appointed the commission. Loophole Is Ignored. It was up to the Liberal and Conservative oppositions (which, combined, outnumber the Government) to exploit this affront At the least by defeating the Government In the House of Commons they could have Involved the MacDonald administration in deep humiliation; at the most they could have brought that administration down.

Instead, they neither humiliated It nor upset it. And the reason for this is to be found mainly In personal considerations, the Individual prejudices, the likes and dislikes of statesmen. To begin with, there is 8tanley Baldwin, ex-Premier, Tory leader, a man who looks rather stupid but who Is really a highly cultured gentleman with a superb classical education. His hobby is the keeping of pigs, and he would far sooner Indulge his taste for country pursuits than be the leader of a political party. He Is a good House ot Commons man; but his Is not the temperament that enjoys a fight.

Above all, he Is a gentleman In the rather narrow (and, if you like, snobbish) sense of that much-abused word. Being a gentleman he admires Rum-say MacDonald, the man whose choice instinctively selects the beau tiful; and he despises Lloyd George, the person who. unfortunately, seems unable to prevent the more vulgar side of his nature from show ing ltwlf. ImpoMlbln Triangle Therefore Mr. Baldwin will never.

If he ran help it, Join with Mr. Lioyd Oeorge to defeat Ramsay Mar- Donald. But can he always avoid doing that? Why did not his followers insist on his uniting with the Liberals on this Indian dispute to oust or humil iate the Government? It so happened, fortunately for Mr. Baldwin, that the Viceroy, Lord Irwin, was until two or three years go Mr. Woods.

Tory Member of Parliament and Tory Minister for Agriculture. It so happened, also, that on this issue the Liberals were furious with the Government because the chairman of the statutory commission which the Government had affronted was Sir John Simon, a leading Liberal. On India, therefore, the Tories, much as they would like to have given the Labor Government a kick, felt themselves obliged to retrain, In the interest of the Tory Viceroy, whom the Labor Government was championing; and so Mr. Baldwin wbs spared the hateful nece.vtty of Joining with Mr. Lloyd George.

Another Bit of Kplte. Then there was another Humiliating piece of personal spite. Mr Lloyd Oeorge, in addition to being Liberal leader, has a strong strain of Welsh nonconformity In him, which Nation Exhibits Dull Teeth For Turkey as Juicy Birds Stretch Necks Despite the reasonable prices and the nearness of Thanksgiving, the turkey market from coast to coast Is so slow that retailers are begin ning to believe the country is losing Its turkey tooth.
