MAYOR AGAIN BARS BUSINESS SECTION ON BAY PARKWAY Estimate Board Defers Action as Walker Backs Pleas of Residential Faction. The Board of Estimate and Apportionment today deferred action again on the long-standing request that it make Bay from 62d st. to 65th a business zone instead of a residential district. Althought Boro President Byrne approved the plan, the Mayor continued against it, and today he expressed himself clearly on the scheme of the city in rezoning small sections of neighborhoods and thus making the city map look like what he termed a crazy quilt. "The city ought to adopt a zoning policy." he insisted, "and do it quickly.

The city map now is a terrible thing to see. It is a crazy quilt, a couple of blocks of business, then a residential section, then more businessit's terrible. Think in the Bay pkway. matter we ought to make the parkway cither that or change it entirely into a residential section." James Butterly. representing St.

Athanaslus Church, which, through its rector, the Rev. Eugene J. Donnelly, has led the fight to keep the' dis trict residential, appeared today and agreed with the Mayor. But representatives of local organizations appeared and. begged the board to make it a business section quickly.

Real estate Interests are said to be behind the desire to make a business section. But the action which developed today came almost wholly from civic associations. 6 FROM BROOKLYN HURT IN JERSEY AS AUTO STRIKES POLE Ceorge Nicoletti, Driver, May Die of Fractures Woman Suffers Broken Legs.

GAS' RATE RAISE' HEREflMTH Walker Acts to Fight In crease, With Hearings on Tomorrow. The Public Service Commission from its Albany office today ordered a month's suspension of the Brook lyn Union Gas Company's schedule of rates, which was to have gone Into effect next Wednesday, May lS, establishing a minimum monthly rate of 95 cents for each consumer. Unless some unexpected new or der Is made, therefore, the new rata will not go into effect until after the middle of next month.

This will give the city an opportunity to step into the proceedings and, in accordance with Instructions, Mayor Walker announced last night that he had is sued to Corporation Counsel George P. Nicholson, "protect" the interests of some 2,000,000 gas consumers throughout the city who are expected eventually to be affected. Boro Gas Company Also for Raise. Hearings on the Brooklyn Union Company's proposed schedule will open at the Public Service Corpora tion offices, 12Q Broadway, Manhattan, at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow.

The Mayor's instructions to the Corporation Counsel were that he make every possible effort, by furnishing experts and counsel, to defeat the minimum rate schedules both of the Brooklyn Union Oas Company and of the Brooklyn Boro Gas Company, which has already proposed a minimum of $1 a month for each consumer. Would Cost $25,000,000 More. These two companies, the Mayor said, served about 750,000 consumers, and if their efforts succeed he expressed the fear that the other companies would follow suit, so that eventually some 2,000,000 consumers would be compelled to pay an additional $25,000,000 a year. The Mayor's statement, in part, was: "As has already been brought out in the Brooklyn Boro gas case, average gas consumption is about 2,800 cubic feet a month. Undar the new rates consumers using below 4,000 cubic feet would pay more.

Three-fourths of the number of consumers, at least, would have to stand an Increase in this indirect way. "I can see no Justice in this rather obvious attempt to Impose higher charges upon the general gas consuming public. Certainly such a change of policy toward the average consumer should be thoroughly Investigated as to Its necessity altogether, and especially as to the amount."

Sinclair, when they were delivered to the Indiana Standard.

Coupled with -the- "ringing snseeh" of Edwin P. Parker before the Chamber of Commerce of the United State', Mr. Rockefeller's action, in tha opinion of Senator Wnlsh, is "gratifying evidence that the business woiki is waking up to the enormity of th.i offenses revealed by the committee." Stewart Faces Trial May 2L Declaring Mr. Rockefeller was to bo congratulated. Chairman Nye said ho hoped that Indiana Standard stockholders would find his attitude contagious.

"I am nappy if the work of the committee Investigating the scandal has caused the Inauguration of a program for a cleanup in the oil world," the North Dakotan added. 8tewart will go on trial here May 21 on the Senate contempt charge growing out of his refusal, on his flrrt appearance before the oil committee, to tell whether he had discussed Continental profits with Sinclair or whether he knew anyone who received anv of the Liberty bonds.

Van Namee also testified that 17,000 as sent lo Fred W.

Five thousand" dollafrs went to the Democratic Publicity Bureau, Van Namee added. Other expenditures listed were: Research work, salaries, printing, postage and express, broadcasting, $350; Will R.

Van Namee explained that the money sent to Johnson was for traveling expenses, distribution of literature and other publicity in Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, New Mexico, Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho. He added that that sent to Quinn, Hughes, Cony, Guffey and McGlue was for primary work In their States. $3,500 Returned From West As to the funds that went to Wardell, Von Namee said that P.

H. Abbott of Los Angeles, secretary of the Southern California Smith Association; H. H. McPike, Democratic State chairman, and Dockweller had explained the need of funds in that State for conducting their campaign, and as they were unable to raise sufficient moneys for such purposes $41,350 was forwarded to them. He added that this was used for publicity, distribution of literature, printing, preparing lists of voters in the 8,750 precincts in the State, travel expenses and rent of headquarters.

"Although a total of $45,000 -was forwarded to Mr. Wardell, he returned recently $3,500 which he did not use," Van Namee said, adding that nothing was spent in Oklahoma, Idaho, Illinois. Ohio, Indiana, Iowa or the New England States except Massachusetts and Maine. "I did not send any moneys to any of the Southern or border states," hs said. Questioned on Kenny.

Probing into Mr. Kenny's possible contracting work for the State, in relation to Van Namee's position on the State Public Service Commission, this interchange took place between Senator Steiwer and Mr. Van Namee: Q. You say you are a public Service Commissioner, Has Mr. Kenny been awarded any State contracts? A.

Not that I know of. O. What is the nature of his con tracting business? A. Roads, gas mains, buildings and gas pipes. He operates in this State? A.

Yes. i Q. So he builds State roads? A. Not State roads. Q.

Who does he build roads for then? A. For the gas companies. Q. Has this money that Mr. Kenny contributed been derived from laying gas mains in the city and the State? Would you know that? A.

Oh, no. Strikes Out Reply. Q. Can you testify that Mr. Kenny has not had any State contracts? A.

Not to my knowledge. I would know if he had. (Mr. Van Namee here asked that his remarks about Kenny and State road building be stricken out.) Q. Why did you say that Mr.

Kenny built roads and then asked that it be stricken out? What was your Idea in that? A. I wanted to make it clear that Mr. Kenny lays gas mains and then fixes the roads which had to be dug up. I know he does this, as when I go to the golf club on Long ulf.nd I see a sign on construction work, 'William F. 'If Mr.

Kenny came forward aim offered to cancel the loan, you would not resist It very strenuously?" asked Senator Barkley. "No, I wouldn resist It very hard, the witness replied. The Governor joined in the laughter that answer provoked. Asked About Private Car Use. Replying again to Senator Steiwer, tho witness said James J.

Rlordan ac companied Governor Smith to North Carolina. "Do you know anything about a statement that he will furnish a pri vate car to Governor Smith for his campaign If he Is nominated? "I hadn't heard of that." "Ha has a private car?" "Yes, air," AIRPLANE STOCKS LEAD IM GAINS ON HESITANT MARKET Wright and Curtits Register High Ftar of Discount Raise Slows Tradinj.

Senators teiwer and Bratton wanted to know just who he is, whether he was interested in the shipping business and whether he derived his admitted wealth from State contract for road buildmg.

Mr. Van Namee's position as one of the Public Service Commissioners was alluded to In connection with Kenny and possible Stateontraetors. The implication was obvious, but the probe on that score did not disclose anything of Interest. Another interesting phase of the pre-convention accounting was the information that the Smith managers have employed two Columbia University professors. R.

F. Tugwell and Philip C. Jessup, to gather campaign information on the Mexican problem, Central American affairs, foreign relations and the agricultural situation. Each of the professors was paid $1,000 for his work. One Flareup in Quiz.

The one semblance of a flareup took place when Chairman Steiwer handed Mr. Van Namee an anony-ous note and asked him whether the charge that James J. Hoey, chairman of the Home Rule Commission and one of Governor Smith's most enthusiastic backers, had sent forth 578,000 "pro-Smith circulars" from his William st. office. "That is perfectly ridiculous," Mr.

Van Namee replied with some anger, referring to his charge "It Is things of this kind that have caused most of our correspondence. It is the baseless charges that the Ku-Klux Klan, the Anti-Saloon League, the Sons and Daughters of Liberty and William H. Anderson all discredited In this part of tha country that makes a man Indignant." Mr. Van Namee also testified that the Hotel Biltmore is charging $100 a day rental for the Smith headquarters. "It is too much, I believe," he said with a smile.

"That disposes of the New York Central imputation." Authorised No V. S. Chairman. Senator Steiwer first read the resolution empowering the committee to act, and was told by the Governor that he had read of the investigations in the newspapers. The chairman then, half apologetically, swore the Governor as a witness.

Governor Smith first testified that no one has been authorized by him to act as national chairman, manager or treasurer of his campaign. Made No Patronage Promise. "Have you contributed any money to the New York group?" asked Chairman Steiwer, after he had placed the New York Governor under oath. "No, sir," Smith replied. "Do you expect to?" "No sir." "Am I right in assuming that you have made no promise of patronage?" Steiwer pursued.

"Absolutely none." "And you will make none?" "Not if I have to take the same kind of oath that I took as Governor of New York. Won't Go Out of State. "Is there any arrangement that you know about to take care of a deficit in your campaign?" asked Senator Bratton. "No." "Governor, are we to understand that you are not going out of the State before the Houuton Convention?" asked Senator McMaster. "I haven't any intention of going any place," Smith replied.

"So far as financial assistance or contributions to your campaign are concerned you know nothing about them?" McMaster pursued. "Nothing whatever." Has No Report on Funds, "Then your campaign is left in the hand3 of your friends?" "That's right." "You haven't received any contributions yourself?" asked Senator Barkley. "I haven't received any contributions myself from any one." Smith replied, adding that he had received no report from any of his friends as to his campaign expenditures. Governor Waxes Witty. The Governor said he knew nothing of publicity except the answering ol letters of inquiry.

I 'It all I know Is being done, added. Chairman Steiwer asked Governor Smith about primary contests in various States. "In Wisconsin it was necessary for me to certify that my name was spelled correctly," he explained. "It being an easy name to speii, mat was not a difficult matter." The witness said he knew nothing about activities in his behalf on the west coast. Ignorant of California Activities.

"What about Iowa?" Steiwer Inquired. "I can't say that I know a person In Iowa unless that Is Wilbur Marsh's Smith replied. "Ive been meeting him at conventions for years." "Who had charge of your campaign in California?" "I don't know. The only person I heard from there was Mr. Dix.kweiler 'Isidore Dockweller.

Smith atlded that after the primary was over he learned that former Hen-ator Phclan had been active In his behalf. What about Ore-ion?" Htciwar inquired. "I don't know anybody In Oregon." "Have on been active In the South?" No, sir, outside my trip to North Carolina. That had no politiral sltrnl-flcance.

"The chamber emphasizes Its prin ciple of business conduct," the resolution read, "which provides that 'corporate forms do not absolve from or alter the moral obligations of It maintains that stock holders of corporations owe It to themselves, to the government, and to the profession of business publicity to repudiate those who misrepresent them.

If Mr. Mellon is really in favor ol Hoover, as s-ome of Mr. hoover man agers have been Insisting, he Is tak ing a strange way ol exhibiting rus friendliness. If, in the face of Hoover 3 defeat In Indiana, Mr. Mellon were now to declare for him, or were to use his influence to have Pennsylvania's 79 votes Instructed for Hoover, the nomination of the Secretary of Commerce would be practically assured.

Playing Shrewd Game. Mr. Mellon has no such Intention at this time. He wants to go Into the convention with the possibly decisive power of Pennsylvania'! huge delegation at his disposal. It is improbable that Mr.

Mellon actualy aspires to the role of President-maker, but he Is playing a very cautious and shrewd game. The writer believes that Mellon Is much closer to the elements represented in Charles D. HUles of New oorlt than to Odcn L. Mills and the various other Hoover cohorts In the Cabinet. It will be difficult to keep Pennsyl vania's 79 votes in a solid block for more than three or four ballots.

Thl? Is probably all that Mr. Mellon hopes to do, for the first few ballots will demonstrate whether Hoover Is going to win a majority or not. If Hoover shows any weakness Mr. Mellon will be In a position to help dictate the nomination. Hughes Strrn-rthenrd.

The prospect that Mr. Mellon will hold oil until the nrsi icw Daiiots. lo gethtr with the encouragement given to the anti-Hoover forces through Hoover's defeat In Indiana, served to day to revive consideration of Charles Lvans Hughes a possible candidate. Mellon and Utiles both favor the nomination of Mr. Hughes, despite his declination to run.

borne of the other anti-Hoover "allies." however, are Mipporting Vice President Dawes, and this wing of the anti-Hoover camp would probably show themselves very intniicrent to Mr. liuunes. The most dangerous thing that Mr. Hoover has to lace toduy Is the "de featist" atmosphere surrounding his candidacy in some quarters very nigh in the Republican ranks. This at mosphere Is being pushed for all It is worth, on top of the Indiana defeat.

The anticipated (allure of the Penn sylvanla caucus on Haturdny to de clare for Hoover will lurthrr comnll-rste the situation. Whatever Mr Mellon I game Is, he Is not giving Mr Hoover any help at a time when help is ncccica.

Then Justice Tompkins gave the Mual caution for secrecy, and instructed the jurors not to talk to any one about the matters under investigation and to report promptly to the Court any attempt that might be made to approach any one of them.

On taking an office of public trust the incumbent takes oath faithfully to perform the duties of that office and to be swerved from his sworn duty by no considerations whatsoever. Therefore, men in public office should be held to a strict accountability. "Likewise, those corporations which engage In contracts for public works should also hold their work In high regard since It represents an expenditure of public money.

"You shall leave the question of the guilt or Innocence of persons Indicted, if an indictment is returned, to be determined by a trial Jury. Grafters Mutt Not Escape. "No grafters on the taxpayers or rentpayem should be allowed to escape. It should be made unpopular and unsafe for men to so prance.
