CLAUGHLIN URGES PASSAGE OF BILLS PROTECTING INSANE (Special by Eagle Staff Correspondent) Alonzo McLaughlin appeared beAlbany, ye: March 20-County Judge fore the Senate General Laws Committee today to speak in favor of three bills by Senator James A. Higgins of Kings. One seeks a jury trial for alleged insane persons, the gecond fixes the qualifications of examiners in lunacy and the third empowers the District Attorney to appear in behalf of alleged mental incompetents.

Judge McLaughlin pointed out that at present the only qualification required for an examiner in lunacy is that he be a physician of three years experience in the medical profession. might be an eye, ear or throat specialist, or a skin specialist. The judge said that members of the State Hospital Commission and other having care of the State's bodies, were required to have at least five years actual experience in caring for the insane. He asked that the examiners in lunacy be required to have similar experience before being allowed to pass judgment. Within the last three years the Kings County Court has committed 5,900 to insane asylums, Judge McLaughlin said, but the hearings given them weren't worthy of the name.

'A criminal, charged with a serious Judge McLaughlin declared, "has the right under the law to a jury trial. And if he has no money to defend himself, it is the duty of the court to furnish counsel. Why a cannot the mentally ill have the same safeguard? "No honest alienist will say that psychiatry is an abstract science. Look at the differences that arose among those called in the Thaw and the more recent Raizen, Walsh, Nicholas and Davis Dr. C.

Floyd Haviland of the State Hospital Commission opposed the lunacy examiners bill on the ground that it would work a hardship in rural communities. He said that medical college authorities were giving the subject of mental diseases a more prominent place in the curricula and that as a result most physicians today have a broader knowledge of mental disorders than those graduated some years ago.

MARGARET M. THOMPSON. RICKARD FACES BIG FINE AND JAIL FOR FILM CONVICTION Promoter and ants to Hear Sentence in Trenton on Tuesday. Trenton, March 20 -George L. (Tex) Rickard and four of his codefendants in Federal Court, charged with conspiracy to violate the law prohibiting the transportation of prize fight films from State to State, were convicted by a.

jury late last night. A sixth defendant, James Dougherty of Philadelphia, was acquitted. The case grew out of the exhibition in New York, Illinois and other States of motion pictures of the Dempsey-Carpentier fight, held at Boyle's Thirty Acres, in Jersey City, on July 2, 1921. Those convicted, beside Rickard, are Fred C. Quimby, New York motion picture producer; Teddy Hayes Los Angeles, former secretary to Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion; Jasper C.

(Jap) Muma, Washington and New York newspaperman, and Frank B. Flournoy, Madison Square Garden All were continued at liberty on their existing bail pending imposition of sentence next Tuesday! On the conspiracy charge, the law provides a maximum penalty of two years' imprisonment in a Federal penitentiary fine of $10,000, or both. For transportation of the fight film from one State into another the deefndants may be fined $1,000 on each count. Guilty on Three Counts. Rickard was held guilty on one count of conspiracy and two charging transportation of films of the Dempsey-Carpentier fight from New Jersey to New a York and later to Chicago.

Quimby and his corporation, Quimby, were held guilty of conspiracy in one count and of transportation in three counts. Hayes was held on two counts, conspiracy and transportation; Muma on two counts charging illegal transportation and one alleging conspiracy, and Flournoy on one count only, that of conspiracy; Dougherty, a manager of prize fighters, was found not guilty. At the conclusion of the Government's case only one charge, that of illegal transportation, remained against Dougherty. The conspiracy trial was an echo of some of the sensational proceedings brought out by the Wheeler Senatorial Committee last year. It was at one of the sessions of that body that a former Government agent gave testimony which resulted in the indictments found against the six by a Federal Grand Jury at Newark last ALDERMEN CHARGE MAYOR "HIDES BEHIND WOMEN" Mayor Hylan's Committee of Women was denied an appropriation of $25,000 by the Board of Aldermen yesterday because six the members believe that the Mayor is "hiding behind the women and using them as pawns for his own political aggrandizement under the guise of charity.

Alderman Quinn led the successful attack, as the measure needed 55 votes and it received but 54. Although he did not bring in the names of Mrs. Hylan, the committee's honorary chairman, and Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, its chairman, he made it clear that he believed the work of the committee was political and not charitable.

Heads By HOWARD A. SHIEBLER. (Staff Correspondent of The Eagle.) Albany, March 20-Trying to make their Attorney General the goat has been one of the chief diversions of the Republicans here this session. They tried it almost during the opening week of the Legislature, when they asked him for an opinion in the Murray Hulbert case. They passed the buck to Albert Ottinger, and he passed it back to them.

Nothing was done in the matter, 90 It didn't make much difference. But yesterday, when the Hewitt- monkey of himself for anyone. "I can't be expected to write iny opinion in one syllable words," he said, when it was suggested to him that Hewitt and Hutchinson might Hutchinson grade crossing, committee rejected Governor ing removal program on the basis of an opinion of Attorney General Ottinger, the said Attorney General Albert Ottinger turned around and gave Messrs. Hewitt and Hutchinson the jolt of their lives. Mr.

Ottinger is a peace-loving individual, with a softly modulated voice. He has worked on the second floor of the Capitol since Jan. 1, quietly minding his own business and attending to the affairs of his office. He dealt with Amy Wren in a dignified manner and calmly ignored the Republican leader of Kings County in the matter of a few Brooklyn appointments. Until yesterday no one had ever succeeded in getting under his skin.

Unruffled, unexcited, he had watched the proceedings of the Legislature with casual interest, gling with Democrats and Republicana alike. Always Dresses Up. His hair is always neatly brushed. It is slightly curly hair and dark. He 19 always attired in the latest clothing and is most particular about wearing the correct colors in his shirts and neckties.

The bootblack in the Hotel Ten Eyck has a daily task shining the shoes of the short, stocky man who Alls the office of Attorney General. Albert Ottinger even smokes his cigars with cool deliberation, scratching his nose with his thumb as he holds the cigar at his mouth in the right hand, Yesterday he regarded himself as a law-abiding citizen who wouldn't inflict injury upon a moth. Today he fears he's looked upon as a murderer of WOmen and children at grade crossings. If ever an innocent bystander was hit in the head with a political tomahawk, Albert Ottinger has been. The fiscal leaders of his own party in the Legislature are responsible, and Ottinger today shudders at the very mention of, the word grade crossing.

Some weeks ago our friends, Hewitt and Hutchinson, looking for an excuse to defeat Governor Smith's grade crossing program--the very program they approved last yearhit upon what thought the brilliant idea of referring the matter to the Attorney General for an opinion. This at least would bring about delay, and in view of the fact that the Attorney General is a. Republican, it was not unreasonable to assume that he might supply an excellent excuse for rejecting the Smith program. Ottinger's Help Asked. So the program was sent to Mr.

Ottinger. Hewitt and Hutchinson sat back, confident they wouldn't have to worry further. The Attorney General sent up his opinion yesterday. It was rather long and legal. Hewitt and Hutchinson took one look at it.

"Just what we want," they said to themselves, sitting down to write report. They composed a report rejecting the Governor's program on the basis of the Attorney General's opinion and gave out copies of the opinion end the report at the same time. The newspapers carried the story, crediting Mr. Ottinger with having a hand in the rejection. But when Mr.

Ottinger saw the report that Hewitt and Hutchinson had tacked to his opinion, in his own words, he "hit the celling." Those who know him have never seen him quite so disturbed. He has never denied a thing more flatly. Referring to Hewitt and Hutchinson, he said: "They have distorted my opinion. The Governor's plan is workable. If were a member of the Legislature would vote for 11." Mr.

Ottinger will go a long way to help his party, but he won't make a not have understood his opinion. Incident Is Closed. As far 0.9 Mr. Ottinger in concerned today, the incident is closed, but he realizes that the original 1m- pression created was that he had a hand in rejecting the Governor's program, and he is fearful lest the ghosts of the women and children who are killed at the grade crossInge shall rise and haunt him in his little office. To Assemblyman Hutchinson the incident is "most Encountered at the entrance to his office yesterday, after being in- COURT REJECTS REFEREE'S REPORT IN HERRON CASE Justice Callaghan Says Fees Charged by Attorney and Referee Are Exorbitant.

gation. $16,900 Already Paid. Justice Stephen Callaghan in Supreme Court today rejected in its entirety a report by Theodore L. Frothingham as referee, recommending that Harry D. Herron and his wife, Mrs.

Jane M. Herron, should be required to pay $2,500 more than they have already paid to Robert H. Koehler of 64 Wall their former attorney. The Herrong were named defendants individually four suits, the plaintiffs being Charles D. Griswold and Miss Josephine McNiven, each of whom had a separate suit against both Herron and his wife.

They alleged that the Herrong acused them of living with each other and that money on women. The amounts sued for originally Griswold spending his wife's "other totaled $30,000, but two causes of action were stricken out and claims for $20,000 damages are still in liti- The papers sent back to Justice Callaghan with the report show that the Herrons had paid Lawyer Koehler $6,900 to prepare for trial and another bill of $10,000 for detectives, investigations, etc. Then Koehler sent a bill for $5,600 more, claiming they had agreed to pay him $12,500 for his services. The Herrons got, new lawyers and objected to the bill. Last June Mr.

Frothingham was appointed referee to report on the services rendered and other features. His report recommends that the Herrons should pay Koehler $2,500 more instead of the $5,600 demanded. Referee Frothingham received $1,200 for his services. He took 869 pages of testimony and the Herrons are urged to pay a $300 stenographer's bill. The Herrons did not oppose the confirmation of the report.

Court's thing Rebuke. "For the defense of four ordinary actions, not complicated, these defendants have been obliged to pay out $16,900," commented Justice Callaghan. "They are asked now to pay an additional $2,500 as lawyer's fees, $1,200 for referee's fees and $300 for stenographer's fees. If compelled to pay, the defendants' detense will have cost them $20,900. "A mere statement of these exorbitant charges is enough to, shock the conscience of any one.

Page after page of testimony has been taken of the most irrelevant and trivial matters. The whole question could well have been determined in a session of not more than one day." CALL DR. G. E. BISHOP FOR HIS 10TH YEAR At the last meeting for the conference year of the Official Board of the Bushwick Avenue M.

E. Church, a unanimous call was extended to the Rev. Dr. George E. Bishop to return to the pastorate for another year, with an advance of $500 per year in salary.

The at the mid-week prayer is attendance between 250 and 300. The church has a membership of more than 2,800, and a Bible School membership of more than 3,000. During the coming year the 40th anniversary of the organizing of this church will be celebrated.

The interment will be at the convenience of the family. formed of the Attorney General's repudiation, he said: "You know, really, this thing is more amusing than anything else.

Ha! ha! That isn't the report we wanted to give out at all! Ha! ha! ha! We have another one that removes a clause or two." Mr. Hutchinson almost went into hysterics. Your correspondent had to steady him 60 that he wouldn't fall over from mirth. Mr. Hewitt didn't know quite what to say.

He beat it hot-foot down to Mr. Ottinger'8 office, and afterward said that the report had been amended.

'JONATHAN SLOCUM.

To one so crude as still to laugh uproariously whenever a lady drops her fork, spoon or littie neck clams on the floor during dinner, Luther X. Hook, rising young attorney, finds something lacking in the recent books on polite behavior. There are moments, even hours, when Mr. Hook is completely at a loss as to what is the proper course to pursue. Some of these problems he lists in his forthcoming work, "Thirty Years at Pill Pool; or, Amber Lee Afloat and Ashore." "I am playing prisoner's base with the Bishop of North Kensington and, the Privy Counsel in a Coalition Government, say, and the field is a lonely moor northeast of EdinPrivy Counsel laughs leeringly.

I burgh," Mr. Hook writes. "The Bishop has trumped a my ace and the say, 'Hey, Bishop, what's and he says, 'What's and I say, 'What's and he says, 'If you don't like it you can lump "Now, my point is, none of the books tell what to do next. Should I lead hearts, clubs, brickbats or pistols? Or should I laugh it off? "A second problem suggests itself. Say I am a close personal friend of United States Attorney Buckner, which I'm not and never will be, and likewise a rising young attorney, and I have obtained from him commission to spend his money in obtaining evidence of liquor law violations in a night club.

"Say I go to this club and I find it already full of personal friends of United States, Attorney Buckner, all rising young attorneys and all flush with Mr. Buckner's money. The regular customers have been unable to get in on account of the club being full of Mr. Buckner's agents provocateurs. "Then, say, I get stewed to the gills and so do all the other seekers after evidence.

What report should I make the next morning to the chief? Should I say, 'What and let it go at that, or should I just leave town? "Suppose--oh, just a Prohibition enforcement officer. I had been only recently sworn in and I wanted to stay honest to set a good example for the other boys. Then, say, I wa's assigned to visit 8 restaurant which was elegant enough to have German silver cuspidors, and money flowing like champagne, and, disguised as the president of an Epworth League class in Georgia, I asked for and got a slug of some old prewar stuff. "I was, say, just about to spring up with joy, flash my badge and make the arrest, when the proprietor, an old New Yorker named Garfunkle--this is the Jardin de MoeRitz--came to me and said, 'Sir, I recognize from the soiled condition of your collar that you are a Prohibition enforcement officer. We ought to be able to settle this little matter "And then, say, he shoved across the table An envelope Alled with greenbacks.

I opened it and saw a flock of $100 bills. I am tempted. I have tried to be honest, and now this faces me. My honor, my soul, my very salvation hangs in the balance. "It is here that the books on behavior give me no help.

What I'd like to know is, what kind of car should I buy with the money, an open car 'or a touring car? "I am being introduced to the Sultan of Siam, say, and am wearing my silk knickerbockers and silk stockings, opera length, and the ceremonies have reached the point where I am supposed to walk up to the throne, do a Charleston as tribute Charleston, Siam, the principal seaport, and then bow my head for a swat of the royal scepter. "I have got well into the Charleston when, looking down, I discoverthat my Sox supporter on the left leg has failed again and my silk stocking is trailing in the dust. I figure a instantly that the uppers of the stockings are not silk, as advertised, but lisle. "But there I am, dancing a Charleston before the Sultan Siam and my left silk stocking hanging down. That is my puedicament.

What now should I do, send these stockings back at once with a demand for the return of my money or should I consent to accept another pair in their place?" Buckner. "Dear Sine (writes William Weer): Apropos story in a weekly magazine that United States Attorney Buckner is possessed of that peculia. weakness public officials have, a gripping love of headlines and other forms of publicity, and that this is what moves him as much ag anything else to padlock places, I called at Mr. Buckner's office this morning, Thursday, in company with a squad of other reporters, to obtain his version of the padlocking of Ebling Brewery Company in the Bronx. "Under ordinary circumstances and on another day than Thursday, the padlocking of the Ebling Brewery would have constituted a firat rate story, worthy of a larger headline than it got.

and in all probability would have been much and fine publicity for Mr. Buckner. But Thursday was no ordinary day in the news offices. Its difference would not be instantly obvious to the ordinary man, but. Mr.

Buckner proved by what he said that not only is he not an ordinary man but also that he had spotted Thursday's unfortunate, for him, aspect and that he appreciated it to the fullest. is too he said to the reporters when he handed them his mimeographed statements of the facts, 'that this should come out on A day when the papers will be Cull of stories of the tornado in Illinois and the fires in Palm "It is just such unthinking actions on the part of the Illinois elements and the firebugs or chances in Florida that make it so discouraging for a prosecutor who likes to see himself given full credit for what he had done."
