The suspension order follows bard on the heels of the tirst general blaring Into all gas rates in the greater city begun yesterday In-fore the Public Service Commission, whi a large delegation from College point and vicinity appeared and voiced a vigorous protest against the new rate in crease. The order, however, it was stated, was not a direct result of this protest, but of the Ming with the coin-mission of certain figures asked by that body which, it is dunned, showed that the company did not need tho boost in view of the falling puces as badly as had been assorted at the tim the new ratew asannouncvd on May 21, Coupled with the new rale was a service charge of 71 cents a month, but since the company had always been making service charge, this question Is not a direct issue, and while the suspension order upplies to the announced service charge as well as the rate per volume, it leaves iu effect the old schedule, which Includes a service charge of the same amount 7f cents. The order was formally promulgated by the Commission late yesterday, following the reception from the company of the figures with regard to production cost nnd the financial condition of the company.

In explaining the reasons for blocking the increase, the Commission order said: "It appears to the Commission that the said proposed rate for general service may be excessive and unrea sonable, due to tho decline in costs of many of the commodities used in the manufacture and distribution of gas since the present rate became effective, and due to the fact that state-e i nt tiled tbts i sic. rl.v wth the Commission by the New York and Jtieens Uus i o.np.my indicate that the alleged operating deficiency of 1 4 cents per 1,000 cubic fret sustained by the company under the statutory rate, as well as a reasonable return on capital expended, alleged by tho company to be 82 cents per 1,000 cubic feet, are adequately provided for in the rate at present In effect."

It was understood that the move win made to anticipate another attack bv the Controller und keep the whole mutter in abeyance' until Craig could have an opportunity to go before a crunU Jury. Craig to Demand Controller Craig said he would insist that the Investigation begin at once in order to ascertain without delay whether or not rollusion exists between the School Hoard or the Hoard of Estimate members and those claiming title in the sites selected.

Dr. Shallow, who l. on a sick bed, said it would be lntercHling to see how the Controller would explain ills se lection of a swamp for a school site after he had utterly ignored every site submitted to Mm last Fehmary and bad turned a deaf ear to plea of the School Hoard for some site any site in order that the desperate need for more school accommodations at Coney Island could be met. The Finance Committee of the Hoard of Estimate last Monday placidly Ignored the Controller and approved all of the sites recommended by Dr. Shallow, but the approval of the Honrd of Estimate was held up temporarily by the Mayor's action to-dn y.

Mr. Crnig said that the only dilfl-culty In the way of an immediate investigation was his Inability to decide what county to institute it In. "The disputed sites nre in Kings County; the Hoard of Education functions in Manhattan nnd I cenlly do not know where Dr. Shallow sits In Judgment," he said. The Controller admitted that the price of $2,000 a lot proposed by Dr.

Shallow was a fair valuation for the. Coney Island site, which is located at West 2Mh St. and Neptune hut suld he did not see why the city should buy back this property for a total of JS0.0O0, the price fixed, when It had disposed of whatever title It held In It for $200 apiece, or $7,:00 in all, only a short time ngo. City Reclaimed Lniiil. The land In question was created by the city by reclamation.

Title to it, by virtue of riparian rights, was claimed by contiguous property owners, and the city recently agreed to surrender its title in consideration of $200 a lot and the payment of all back taxes. Prior to this action, and before the ownership of any of the sites was known to him, Dr. Shallow says ho selected three sites as required by Controller Craig and submitted them to him for a finnl selection. This was on February 25 last, he says. Nothing was heard from the Controller, it is claimed, although he was repeatedly written about the matter.

according to Dr. Shallow, and on May 26 the city surrendered to Hugh P. Skelly, an official of the Kips Bay Brewing Company, its claim to the W. 29th st. site, on the terms decided upon.

Subsequently, nothing still hav ing been hea'-d from the Controller in the matter, the School Board took the question up direct with the Board of Estimate and received the assurance that something would be done at once, Dr. Shallow said. Coney Slle Craig Picked a Swamp An investigation by The Eagle today revealed that the Coney Island school site, on the north side of Neptune tit W. 29th which was suggested by Controller Craig, is marshy swampland, used as a dump heap. The site across the street, which Dr.

Shallow of the School Board and tho members of Board of Estimate wish to purchase, is firm, reclaimed land. Dr. Shallow says he was asked by the Board of Estimate what site he wanted, and that he decided upon the one at W. 20th st. and Neptune which, it developed, was owned by Swelly.

At this juncture, he says, Controller i raig nroKe nis long silence and demanded that this site be abandoned in favor of another directly across Neptune which is owned by the city. Dr. Shallow, and later Mayor Hylan, branded this suggestion as ridiculous inasmuch as the city-owned site was swamp land and a dump heap. This began the bitter row which now promises to reach a grand Jury. The Controller declined to amplify his statement of yesterday in which he charged that city-owned reclaimed land at Coney Island was being sold by real estate dealers for their private profit and that Horo President Rlegel-mann was permitting the issuance of building permits for private individuals to build on city-owned land.

IUcgeliiinun's Cryptic Remark. When Mr. Rlcpelmann was asked about the charge this morning he smiled slightly and replied: "I thlnK i property must ionow my usual custom in discussing anything the Controller may say and Just state that I have no comment to make.

Assistant Fnltcd States Attorney Gross today took charge of the investigation of munitions found Tuesday aboard the steamer East Side, loading at Ho bokeu fur Ireland. Mr. Gross ci ived a telegram from Washington directing him to make a thorough inquiry to determine If any attempt had been made to violate a Federal statute by a secret shipment of arms. He was ordered to institute prosecutions In Federal courts if such action seemed Justifiable. Mr.

Gross said he would appear be fore the Federal Grand Jury and ask Indictments if he was aide to tix responsibility. Special Agent Stone has been assigned to the case, to determine whether Sinn Fein agents weie trying to smuggle arms into Dublin. No warrants have yet been issued nor will there be unless it shall appear plainly after thorough Investigation that some one was guilty of an Illegal act In trying to ship the arms out of tho United States without a permit. ulled States Attorney Gross said that unless ho bad evidence of an Incriminating nature, in his possession there would be no warrants Issued. In the meantime the case has developed Into one of the most complex mysteries the Federal authorities have ever been called upon to handle.

Not tho least of the mysterious aspects of the case concerns the Identity of Frank Williams, who claims own ership of tho guns and who got out a search wairunt lor tnetr seizure on the ground thnt they had been stolen from him. Federal Investigators said today that they had no information about Williams beyond what they gleaned when he brought himself Into the case, and that they never heard of him until then. The guns went to Williams, billed as machine guns, and ho planned to sell them in the regular course of business. How he happened to receive such a. large, allotment a- 600 guns is nno of the strange features of the case.

Mr. O'Neill, attorney for Williams, said today: "Mr. Williams was engaged in perfectly legitimate business, arid when the legal question involved has been disposed of, 1 have no doubt that the guns will be restored to him. He is not acting for the Sinn Fein nor is he a Sinn Fein sympathizer. He is more worried today about the loss of the 105 guns which are not accounted for than he is about the that bo has Sinn Fein sympathies." At the time the guns were smuggled aboard the East Side under the guise of "engine room supplies" there was a skeleton crew on the vessel.

It appears that none of the olllcers of the vessel or of the Cosmopolitan Shipping Company knew that she was carrving the burlap covered weapons In her hold until their suspicions were aroused by the actions of certain members of the crew. Then thev called the attention of tho Customs officers to the matter and cooperated with them fully. Sinn Fein Ilii-s Plenl.v Ammunition. Illy CaMfi In Ttn ''1''' I'Ml-frlpMa I'ubUn I.nlmr; 11121.)

The Meyer Committee sent to Headquarters a st ii IT of Investigator in charge of la-o McDcrmott. He had been in the department ns a purchasing agent under the Mitchel administration.
