Overcoats USE YOUR TEN PAY BUDGET ACCOUNT BUILDERS PLAN A 25 PER CENT PAY CUT MAY 1 New York Trade Groups To Meet Wednesday On New Scale TO RESTORE 1923 LEVEL New York, Jan. 28.

The Building Trades Employers' Association in New York City plans to put in to effect on May 1 wage reductions averaging 25 per cent, it was an nounced today at the opening ses sions of the thirty-sixth annual convention of the New York State Association of Builders at 2 Park avenue. About 115,000 organized workers in the metropolitan district would be affected by the wage changes, and the employers' decision was regarded as of national importance because builders in other parts of the country usually consider the New York rate as a base in fixing their pay schedules. Members of the thirty trade groups in the building trades em ployers' organization here will meet next Wednesday to pass for mally upon the reductions approved by the board of gover nors, according to Christian G. Norman, chairman of the board Some of the trade-, groups have approved the proposal at privj meetings held recently, Mr. Norman told the convention.

Present contracts with labor unions in the industry expire on April While the delegates concerned themselves mainly with wage prob lems, questions of construction fi nancing methods and of city politics were brought into the discus sions by Borough President Levy of Manhattan, who assailed "pure ly destructive critics" of the city administration, and Oscar D. Rosenthal, president of the National Association of Building Trades Employers, who suggested establishment of construction invest ment trusts on a national scale as substitute for realty bond financing. Under the proposed wapre reductions bricklayers and other out side skilled laborers would be cut from $15.40 for an eight-hour ddy to $12 inside mechanics, in which class would be placed plasterers, now on a $15.40 basis, would receive $10, and helpers and laborers, now paid $8.15 to $10.12, would get a flat rate of $7. Tho cuts would bring the pay schedules back to 1923 levels. Dame Rumor To Fight Suit Designating as "absurd" the charges filed against her by Mrs.

Dr. Magna took his life by slashing his arteries with a razor blade. A compress, fastened around the left wrist, was taken by Medical Referee Eastman, of Port mouth, to indicate Dr.

Magna first cut the left wrist, decided against ending his life and then changed his mind again. Magna left no notes. Dr. Magna's associates here were shocked. The only motive friends could ascribe for the act was that the physician suffered a breakdown as result of overwork in behalf of 6.000,400 hospital adjunct in Brooklyn.

Dr. William J. Curry, acting superintendent at Kings County Hospital, said: "He would not heed the advice of friends to let up on his intense work. He continued to labor on details of the hospital, sometimes to one or two o'clock in the morning. ain sure-his mind -must have given away under the strain." Commissioner of Hospitals Greeff and Depty Commissioner Fay were equally certain that only a mental breakdown could have caused the suicide.

Dr. Magna, well-to-do in his own right, was a bachelor and lived at the hospital. He was last seen there at 3:10 p. Monday, when he left to go to a Manhattan office to confer about equipment for the hospital. It was established that at 6 p.

m. he entered a book-lending shop opposite the hospital and took out two books. On Saturday he had drawn $258 from Brooklyn banks. About $150 was in his possession when he registered at the hotel Tuesday night, between nine and ten o'clock, arriving in Portsmouth by train. Dr.

Newton D. Baker's statement that adhesion to the League of Nations should not be a political issue in this yeaVs presidential campaign was approved today by Demociatic senators. Belief grew that Mr. Baker, by his declaration that he would not favor our entrance into the league unless a majority of the people favored it, had set up a rod in case the presidential lightning might strike him. There was no certainty of opinion, however, even among those Inclined to favor him, that he would become an active candidate In the sense of entering into contests for delegates.

Mr. Baker's declaration had the effect of increasing the interest in the position of former Governor Smith because of a beliel that Mr. Baker's best chance of obtaining the nomination was as a compromise candidate after a deadlqck. With the supporters of Governor Roosevelt claiming a prospective delegate voting strength of -over 200 more than a majority and within less than 100 of the required two-thirds. Mr.

Smith's candidacy, in the opinion of many here, would seem to be needed to create a deadlock. Agreement with Mr. Baker that the league was not a political Issue and should not be made so seemed to be virtually unanimous among the Democrats. "I know of no one who is attempting to raise the league issue at this time," said Senator Walsh, of Montana. "In fact, it has been pretty generally ignored since the 1920 campaign." Senator Dill declared he thought it "extremely encouraging that such extraneous issues as the league are to be taken out of the political situation at this time so that we may concentrate on the hard-times issue." "It Is gratifying that the leading proponent of the league is willing to submerge that Issue in the interest of harmony," he added.

"The economic Issue greatly affects the great mass of our people who are out of work and it should not be beclouded by any other Mr. Baker "is entirely correct In saying that the league is not and ought not to be a vital question in this campaign," said Senator George. "It Is a wise statement," in the opinion of Senator King. "I always have been supporter of the leaeue but it should not be made an issue until a majority of the people have a larger understanding of it. It would be futile to project it Into political discussions now." Representative Rainey.

the House democratic floor leader, said he had heard of no agitation for a League of Nations plank in the national platform. MRS. DONAHUE, A WOOLWORTH HEIRESS, SUED Night Club Hostess Demands $100,000 For Slander ACTION LAST AUGUST New York, Jan. 28. Mrs.

Jessie Woolworth Donahue, heiress to 5-and-10 cent millions, has been served with notice of a suit for $100,000 for alleged slander by Jane O'Roark, night club hostess, it was learned today. The suit is based on remarks Mrs. Donahue is accused of making concerning the showgirl last May in her home at 6 East 80th street Since then Mrs. Donahue has closed her 80th street house and has been living at Pierre's. At the hotel last night, she referred all inquiries to her attorney, Charles H.

Tuttle. It was learned, that she had receded notice of the suit last August and had filed a general denial of the charges. Tuttle's only comment was that he had requested a bill of particulars, and that the motion was to be argued in the supreme court February 5. The suit itself Is not on file in the court, but David P. Siegel, counsel for Miss O'Roark, said it would be entered this week.

The complaint with which Mrs. Donahue has been served accuses her of slandering the showgirl In this way: "She stated that I was about to file a claim against the estate of her late husband, James P. Donahue. She said the claim was wholly unfounded In truth and In law, and that she compromised the claim for $600 to avoid publicity. "She stated further that I was a dangerous and vicious Siegel said that his client denied the truth of all these alleged state ments.

He declared he would oppose the motion for particulars, as the In formation sought was so detailed It might work against the success of the suit. Donahue, a stock broker, died last April.

Jan. 28.

A novel way of selving the problem of feeding a wife and three children out of an empty purse was sought today by Fred Sommerkorn, a private detective who has found business bad lately because of the depression. In a letter to the editor of the North Jersey Courier, Sommerkorn offered to sell his family with the option, however, of repurchasing the members when times get better, and although he made the offer apparently with tongue in cheek and in humorous phraseology, an investigation disclosed that the family is without food and the father was moved by desperation. "I have a wife and three chil dren," he wrote. "This overproduction and the vast shrinkage in side my purse makes it necessary for me to either sell them or starve them. Since celling them is the lesser of the two evils, I would like to have you sell them for me; or do you think I had better list them on the Stock Exchange? "I realize that human beings are hardly worth anything in the world today.

"I was promised a Job if the contract went to Shoup," he admitted. "But there was no talk of money" and "no talk of $20,000," O'Brien said in answer to questions of Senator Frank J. Harris, chairman of the committee. The Philadelphia man told of visits to Secretary Beamish and admitted he urged the latter to give every consideration to the Shoup company in the contract awarding. He repeated, nevertheless, his assertions that he made no reference to "20,000" or to "something nice" for Beamish.

But Beamnsh, I don't want to see you violate your oats of of-flee," O'Brien quoted himself at saying to the secretary of the commonwealth. He remained unshaken In his testimony under sharp cross examination. The latter could produce no witnesses who could say they heard O'Brien affer a bribe, persons who were in Beamish's office said the latter announced "that man offered me a $10,000 bribe, after O'Brien left the office of the secre tary. O'Brien appeared voluntarily De- fore the committee, although he was late In arriving and delayed the hearing nearly two hours.
