The speakers were repeatedly interrupted by the hecklers. The meeting was one of the several that had been called to pass upon the action of the union delegates in as? suring the truck owners' wage scale committee that there would be no strike pending an effort at arbitration 01 tiie new working agreement sub? mitted by the men, which agreement would give the men a 4u per cent in crease in pay, eifectivo to-day, and an oight-hour day. It required two and a half hours of vigorous pleading, interrnpted by si.outs ana cries of "Attaboy!" him say that over again!" "We strike!" 'To hell with arbitration" and semai cries, to bring the mew to under? standing of consequences of an? other strike at this time.

The result was appointment of a committee of siJt of tho trucK men to confer with a commit? tee of the Merchant Truckmen's Bureau and report back to the union membership in one week. The motion to appoint such a committee resulted in a bedlam of shouts ana suggestions. One of the most persistent of these was that the comn.iti.ee should report back in two days, an? that if no agree? ment with the employers could be reached which was favorah.e tc tne men. a strike of New York City's 30,000 general merchandise truck drivers would be called. The meeting ended with a vote by ac? clamation to have the committee report back in a week.

Paul, younger the late King Alex? ander, was proclaimed King by the Greek Parliament last nicht. Earlier in the session Admiral P.

Coundouriotis was elected Regent. Prince Paul was born in this December 1, 1901, and is not married. Since his father, ex King Constantine, left Greece, Prince Paul has been with him in Switzerland. Criticism of the government's policy in making Prince Paul's accession to the throne conditional was answered in the Parliament by Premier Venizelos with the declaration that it was in? tended that if Prince Paul were made King he should not be a proxy for ex King Constantine. Admiral Coundouriotis was sworn in as Regent immediately after his elec? tion.

Nothing has been announced as yet regarding any replies Prince Paul or Constantine may nave sent to the gov? ernment communications informing them that Prince Paul's accession de? pended upon the formal renunciation by Constantine and his eldest son, Prince George, of all claims to the Hellenic throne. No replies, in fact, are expected until after the funeral of King Alexander, it is said. WASHINGTON, Oct.

Babst, president, and other officers of the American Sugar Refining Company, with having violated the Lever price control act. Company officials had conspired, the petition al- i ler-ed, "to exnet an excessive price for a necessary of life," and the petitioners asked the Attorney General to present the charge to a Federal grand jury. They also asserted that the methods of distributing sugar by con- trpct constituted a violation of the Fed- eral Trad" Commission act, presenting affidavits to support the charge, Citing the recent fall In the price of refined sugar, the petition said that last June agents of the refiners repre- that there wou'd be a sutrar shortage in the fall of 1920 and that I the price of sugar would be very high i during the remainder of the year, and induced the grocers to siirn contracts to purchase supar at 22H cents a pound for fall delivery.

I Harlem West 125th Street. Illustrated by Pre-Race Tilt Occurs At Fishermen's Regatta Nova Scotian and Gloucester Schooners Evenly Matched in Chance Meeting HALIFAX, N. Oct. un? official and unexpected test of the Canadian and American entrants in the. international fishermen's regatta be? ginning to-morrow came this after? noon, when the Nova Scotian schooner, the Delawanna, on her way to Halifax from Lunrnbtirg, met the Gloucester boat, the Esperanto, while the latter was engag-ed in a trial run.

The wind was light, seven to eight knots, from the south, when the Dela? wanna, running free, encounftcd the Esperanto beating out to the outer mttrk. The consensus of shore observers who watched the racers was that there was little to choose between the two. Those who saw the Delawonna hauled prior to rounding Chebucto Head and the Esperanto or. her thrash to the lightship said that the Canadian craft was pointing just as high as the American and, as far as they could ob? serve, was footing just as fast.

S. to Aid In Building Graft Inquiry from pags one' kets during last year's public food sales. In the course of an investigation by Commissioner of Accounts Hirs, tied last, year into the controversy growing out of the disposal of moneys earned from the sales it developed that ex? cessive sums of money had been paid out for cartage? Commissioner Hirsh fieid in his report to the Board of Al? dermen said that was paid to Atwell for trucking fiom the early part of September to item? ized bilis as to just when and how many trucks were supplied were sub? mitted by Atwell.

When questioned by the commissioner, Atwell said he al? ways had available about, 100 trucks for the work and that he was to receive $35 a day for each truck, whether it did any work or not. The then deputies, William Smith and Edwin J. O'Malley, told Mr. Hirsh field that Atwell was given the work on orders of the then commissioner, Jona? than ('. Day.

Dr. Day said yesterday that the matter of trucking had been put up to Smith and that Atwell had been hired by Smith. Dr. Day says further that was actually paid Atwell for the trucking, instead of the alleged by Commissioner Hirshfield. The trucking headed by At-1 well has offices at Harris Avenue and East Avenue, Hunters Point, Long Island City, and is known as the Northeastern Supply Company.

The same firm did some cash moving for the city in December, January and February last, for which Atwell got from $25 to $27.50 a truck per day, to? taling about $3,000 for the work. The Northern Wrecking Company, headed by Atwell, is also located at the Hunter's Point address. Each firm is capitalized at $5.000 and has Edward H. Walsh as secretary. Just how At weM got contracts from the cjty and who his "friend at court" is the Lockwood committee is trying to find out.

Many workers in the wrecking in? dustry yesterday produced receipts signed with Walsh's initials ror sums of money which they had paid on ac? count of the $50 required for the cards entitling them "to the privilege of working" as members of Brindell's Building Trades Council. These workers said they in their money at the office of the Northern Wrecking Company. Why a member of Atwell's firm should be ac? cepting money for membership cards in Brindell's council is another matter being investigated by the Lockwood committee. Tenant's Case Hinges On Definition of Hotel Manager Who Locked Out Com? plainant Denies Place Is Apartment House WiHiam C. MacKenzie, manager of the Schuyler Apartment House, 307 West Ninety-eighth Street, contends that the Schuyler Arms is a hotel and therefore he has a legal right to lock out a guest who fails to pay his rent, Isaac Kuhn, a tenant in the Schuyler Arms, who says he was locked out, con? tends that the Schuyler Arms ig not a hotel, but an apartment house, and therefore its operators are amenable to the rent laws.

The intricate question as to whether the Schu 1er Arms is a hotel or an apartment house was put up to Magis? trate Max S. Levine yesterday, when an unlawful entry action, brought by Knhn, was brought to trial, and the magis? trate decided that the problem was en? tirely too delicate for his court, so he referred it. to Special Sessions for trial. MacKenzie was held in $100 bail for his appearance there. 10,000 Clothing Makers Plan to Speed Up Work Special Dispatch to Ths BALTIMORE, Oct.

29. -In an effort to end idleness among 10.000 men and women, workers of henry Sonneborn met to-day and discussed in? creased production per worker in the clothing industry. For a month nearly all of the 10,000 clothing workers in Baltimore have been id.e and the prospect is that un? less something is done to enable the manufacturers to produce suits and overcoats to be sold at prices lower than have prevailed for several years this idleness will continue indefinitely. The unions will not consent to any decrease in pay and the manufacturers have not asked that. The only alter? native is increased production with the prevailing rate of pay continuing.

The production of the Baltimore worker is said to be considerably below that of the Chicagonn. Manufacturers say that the produc? tion can be speeded up with the 44 hour week continuing, without any driving of the worker. If a 20 per cent increase is achieved, the manu? facturer can produce suits and over? coats which can be sold to the retailer at $35, $40 and $45. If the old wages and the old standard of production remain, the cost of clothes to the con? sumer will remain around $60 to $70, it was said. Bav State Schools Criticized BOSTON.

Winship, editor of The Journal of Education, in an address to? day before, the Middlesex County Teachers' Association. Many of the methods still in use here, he said, I would be laughed at anywhere else in the country.

Owners Offer Plan to Avoid Tenant Suits Real Estate Men Submit an Agreement to the Mayor's Committee Tentatively to Aeeept Old Rent Rates Commits Neither Party Money for October Would Be Paid Pending Decision on Law's Constitutionality A working agreement to overcome the possibility 'of choking up the mu? nicipal courts with rent cases next month has been submitted to the May? or's committee on rent profiteering by joint representatives of real estate in? terests. It is designed to cover the cases of tenants who are protesting their rentals as "oppressive, unjust, and unreasonable," as well as holdover ten? ants. The agreement would enabh? the landlord to collect the October rent at the tenant's figure without preju? dicing the particular case, pending a decision on the constitutionality of the new rent laws. A large number of tenants have refused to pay the Oc? tober rent asked by the owners and landlords have refused to accept the amount of ered by tenants. In the latter case the landlords are awaiting the expiration of the month in order to bring recovery proceedings under the new laws.

In actions instituted by the land? lords the tenant is given five days to f.le an answer and deposit the amount, of his rent with the clerk the court. The Mayor's committee has form answer that is being used to as? sist tenants. Justice Approves Agreement In making the stipulations public yesterday. Arthur J. W.

Hilly, chair? man of the Mayor's committee, said: "I have carefully examined these stip? ulations and I can see no objections to the tenant signing them if they would be in the form submitted." They also have the approval of Justice Fred? erick Spiegelberg. The stipulations read: "Stipulation between landlord and uh dersigned landlord and tennnt naving entered into a lease dated-of apartment-in building as Street, and the tenant now claim? ing that the rent stipulated in such lease is 'unjust, unreasonable and op herewith pays to the land? lord on account of rent for the demised cremises for the month of and the landlord acknowledges receipt of that amount, such payment and the acceptance thereof being with? out prejudice to any right of either party hereto." A similar stipulation covers the case of hold-over tenants. Hearing on Tax Exemption Plan The aldermanic committee on gen oral welfare, of which Alderman W. T. Collins is chairman, held a second public hearing yesterday in connec? tion with the proposed ordinance that will exempt certain new buildings from taxation for a period of years under tne new rent laws.

This is the rection of the new laws that was de? signed to encourage the building of new houses. United States Senator William M. Calder, chairman of the committee on bousing and reconstruction that has been taking testimony regarding the bousing situation throughout the country, appeared before tKe nlder n.anic committee. He said that he did not think costly houses designed for private i se should be included in the scope of the ordinance. He Im? pressed the committee the need of passing 'he ordinance without fur? ther to encourage building, otherwise the responsibility would pass from "he hands of capital into 'hose of th city or state.

He did not ihink this vrs desirable. Croker Wins Point in Suits Separate Trial Ordered in Is? sues in Answer to Son Richard Croker, former Tammany leader, won a point in the Appellate Division in one phase of the many v.ctions at law pending between him and his son Richard Croker jr. in New York and Florida. The court de? cided that Mr. Croker st.

is entitled to a separate trial of the issues raised by him in his answer to a suit for $125,836 brought by the son. Mr. Croker demanded that Mr. Croker jr account to him for his acts as his agent from 1907 to 1917. The father also demanded that the son con? vey to him a warehouse at 535 East Seventy-ninth Street, which is his property, although the property stands the name of Richard Croker jr.

The latter replied that he gave to his father a full accounting from time to t'me and contended that he should re? tain title to the property until Mr. Croker sr. has paid the alleged in? debtedness. Poles Commandeer Rooms Government Acts to Reduce the Housing Shortage WARSAW. Oct.
