12 THE SUN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1918. 444 GOVERNOR'S SILENCE STIRS LEWIS'S IRE Whitman Depending Upon Officeholders for Election, Snys Attorney-General. ASKS LIGHT OX ISSUES Explains His Own Attitude on Prohibition, Public Service nnd Party Conventions. Why doea Gov. Whitman continue to remain silent on the Issues of the primary campaign? asks Attorney-General Lewis In a statement last night.

His own attitude Is well- known, the Attorney-General asserts, and the people are entitled to have some explanation from the Governor. He suggests that Mr. Whitman may be relying entirely on his army of officeholders to bring him success In the primaries. The Attorney-General Bald: "In other yearn the dally newspaper wjhlch did not carry a. speech from Gov.

Whitman, delivered before some organization or society, was a curiosity. Doubtless his silence Is due to the fact that this Is campaign period. He probably readies, or nt least expects, that his Public Service Commissioners, ten In all. at J16.000 per year: his Industrial Commissioners at JS.000 each, and secretary to the commission at $6,000, together with his swarms of subordinates, and subordinates of his subordinates, are entirely competent to deliver the votes of the enrolled Republican voters to him on primary day. "In a halfhearted way he permitted himself to say for publication that he approved the Interview given by his reputed manager, Congressman Cocks, who repudiated the support by Hearst's newspapers.

This repudiation, it Is understood, came near costing him the support of the papers. Mutual explanations and apologies were sufficient doubtless to bridge the threatened chasm between the Governor and Mr. Hearst. It will be noticed that Congressman Cocks has made no similar mistake. Then There la the Failure.

"On the second occasion on which the Governor permitted himself to be quoted he offered an alibi for his Public Service Commission In New York city. The shuttle system 'had broken down and hundreds of thousands of people had been discommoded and some of them Injured. Commissioner Kracke repudiated the Governor's proffered alibi and volunteered to assume Ills share of the responsibility for the defects In the plans of the shuttle s3-tem. "The Governor of course was humiliated and annoyed both by the repudiation of the Hearst support bv Congressman Cocks ana by the repudiation of his alibi by Commissioner Kracke. Evidently he became discouraged and has concluded that the less he may say In this campaign the better It chances of a nomination for a third term.

"The farmers would particularly like to have him appear before them at meetings which they would be glad to attend and Justify his conduct In connection with agricultural legislation for which he made himself the sponsor. "One of the great and really important questions to be determined at the November election is the question as to whether or not the Federal prohibition amendment shall be ratified by the next Legislature without the submission of the question to the voters for their approval. The Governor Is on record In nvor of such ratification. He would prevent the voters fiom expressing their will upon the subject, and it will be remembered sent message to the Assembly In which he denounced the members of that body for what he termed their cowardice In even considering the proposition of securing nn expression from the people on the subject. He has stated that he favors the ratification of the Federal prohibition amendment by the State Legislature.

The Purl Contention Inane. "Then, too, there Is th great question of the restoration of ufllelal State A great ininy enrolled Republicans are of the opinion that party welfare requires, the restoration of the party convention In order that the party liollcy may be determined by delegates selected at direct for the purpose of attending such convention and giving expression In the party platform to the party will. The Governor opposes the proposition and pnfers that his record bo deemed to lit, a sufficient platform, ami if not that bo be recognized a the head of the party and consequently authority to determine what the party platform shall contain. "My attitude upon those questions Is generally understood. 1 favor the restoration of the party convention and 1 favor the submission of the prohibition amendment to the voters of the Stale for their deliberate and well considered action." Word has Just been received at the Lewis headquarters In tho Hill Hotel that a Lewis primary campaign committee of 500 members has been formed In Albany county.

Senator Henry Sage Is chairman. One of the hottest fights the Prohlbl-tlon party In this State ever had Is be-Ing waged to make Comptroller Kugene M.

KIDNAPPED BABY GIVEN TO FATHER Attorney Kaiser "Wins Court Battle With Twice Divorced Wife. Emanuel M. Kaiser, a lawyer, 208 Broadway, yesterday won the crtstody. of his Infant daughter Eleanor In a decision by Justice Mullan In the Supreme Court. This ends a long over the child, once kidnapped and taken to Pennsylvania by her mother, Mrs.

Edith Oppenhelmer Kaiser-Here, now the wife of a Pittsburg man. In deciding the case Justice Mullan said "I have given a great deal of consideration to the case of the helpless child who Is the victim of a domestic tragedy. I have reached the conclusion that her own Interests, the personal rights of her Innocent father and the proper regard of the majesty of the law alike require that her custody be awarded to the father." Mrs. Herz obtained a divorce from Kaiser In Pennsylvania nni Justice Mullan says he Is convinced that she went there and obtained domicile for no other reason than to get a decree which she must have known would be worthless In this State 'The separation from her child that this entailed apparently weighed little with her against her strong desire for a severance of marital relations with her husband, who seems to have been wholly blameless," said the court. Justice Mullan declares there Is no doubt that Mrs.

Herx Is fend of her child, "and says he sees nothing In her conduct that Is "vicious or wilfully wrong." After his wife hSd obtained her Pennsylvania decree a divorce was granted to Kaiser In New York, the courts here holding that the Pennsylvania action was not binding. Mrs. Kaiser was allowed to see her daughter, but took the child out of the jurisdiction of the New York court contrary to Its mandate. She later returned the little girl, asserting that her love had prompted what Kaiser had alleged was kidnapping. Under yesterday's decision Mrs.

Herz will be allowed to see her daughter. REGISTRATION CARD WRONG. Alleged Wife Deserter Arrested on Double Charge, Failure on the part of John P. Schwartz, 25. 811 Forrest avenue.

MUNITION SCOUTS BUSY Interborough Employees Arc Lured Into War Industries by Increased Pay.

When the II system of East and West Side subways was opened It was announced by the Interborough that an express train schedule of fifty-four to the hour would be Installed Immediately and maintained. Previously not more than thirty-four express trains to the hour wero possible. It wasadmltted by Interborough "officials and members of the Public 8r-vlco Commission yesterday, that the fifty-four train schedule is not In effect nnd that the difficulties of operating the subway nre Increasing dally after two weeks of experimenting. Lack of sufficient cars Is a factor and so Is the un-famlllarlty of employee with all tha Intricacies of the new system. But the main difficulty Is lack of trainmen and thoso responsible see no relief before the end of the war.

Passengers complained at the office of the Public Service Commission yesterday of the slow service. One man sold he had bten an hour trying to get from Grjnd Central station to Ilrooklyn. Another eald he had missed a train at Pennsylvania station because It had taken him forty minutes In a subway train from Wall and William streets. A woman had been twenty minutes In a train between Urooklyn Bridge Wall street. Six Minntea Between Trains.

It was conceded yesterday that express trnlr.x on the West Side line had been six minutes apart at one period of the day add that on the nljht before six minutes had elapsed between trains from Bowling Green to Brooklyn. It was said, that ticket receipts show manv more naassineera curried nver the two lines, than It was ever possible to ac-j commodate on tho old single subway. Mr. W. hltney declared that heavy drafts had been made upon the ranks of subway employees by solicitors for munition factories.

"A subway trainman," he said, "can not be trained between two days. This Is especially true of motormen. who must be picked men. But even with ordinary trainmen great care In selection and training Is necessary, and the war Industries scouts know this. They know every subwnv emplovee has been investigated carefully before he Is put to work, and that subway men can be set at work right away without Investigation.

"So for more than a year they have Infested the subways and tempted trainmen. Hundreds have succumbed and one can hardly blame them. Then the trainman who goes to a munition factory or shipyard comes back and shows I his pay envelope to his old associates and the subway loses more men. I do not sec where sufficient men are coming from." Ever since the shuttle system between Grand Central and Times Square broke down and was withdrawn pending alterations, the Public Service Commissioners and Interborough officials have received lettera suggesting that the shuttle service be abolished altogether and alternate through trains be sent east and est under Forty-second street. The suggestion has been constantly under official discussion since the shuttle system broke down, but has.

been disapproved by engineers, who maintained that the four tracks under Forty-second street could not possibly bear the traffic. To Kronen Shuttle Service. The shuttle service opened August 1 will be seopened for another trial as soon as changes at terminal stations are completed, which may be late next week. It was stated yesterday that on aver-ago of 36,000 fewer passengers a day have bought tickets at Brooklyn Bridge station slnre the new West Side subway was opened. Monday 28.000 tickets were sold at the Wall street station of the West Side subway.

Since the shuttle service was discontinued passengers between the East and West Sides have transferred from the one subway to the other by walking the short distance between the Rector and Wall street stations. When the Forty-second street shuttle Is reopened this transfer arrangement will be continued temporarily and passengers urged to use It and so relieve the shuttle trains.

BOTH SIDES TO APPEAL Lawyers for Brooklyn Borough Company and City Arc Rebuked in Court. These were the developments In the Brooklyn Borough Gas Company case yesterday, to which the other gas companies have been looking forward as giving them chance to Increase their rotes Counsel for the company filed the findings of former Justice Charles E.

Hughes, the referee, with County Clerk Schneider In New York county and obtained Judgment declaring that the SO cent law of 1906 was confiscatory nnd that the 95 cent rate fixed by the Public Service Commission In 1913 had been rendered null and void by later legislation, and declaring that the Public Service Commission wns enjoined perpetually from enforcing such a rate. Two hours later after hearing argument Justice Benedict In the Supreme Court. Brooklyn, announced that to-day he would grant the order asked by the Public Service Commission permanently restraining the gas company from putting Into effect its announced rate of $1.25. or In fact any rate In excess of 96 cents. The Justice said he would stay the execution of the Judgment and severely censured Wilson Thompson of Bas-sett, Thompson Gllpatrlck.

counsel for the gas company, for entering the findings nnd the Judgment In the face of hla temporary Injunction. Appeal Walts I'ntll October. Counsel for the company announced they would appeal from the order pf Justice Benedict, if granted to-day, as announced. No hearing can be had until the Appellate Division reconvenes In October. Counsel for the Public Service Commission expressed their detetmlnatlon to take nn appeal from the findings and Judgment of Referee Hughes.

They also will ask the Appellate Division, First Department, for a stay of the operation of the Judgment, pending hearing on their appeal in October. "From the argument and the evidence now before me." said Justice Benedict. "I think I shall sustain the petition of the Public Service Commission. I believe that the learned referee, for whose legal ability we all have the highest tcspect. haa fallen into error." Mr.

Thompson expressed deep regret that he should be considered to have committed contempt of court In filing the Hughes Judgment. After the Justice had assured the lawyer he did not think there was any wilful disregard of the court's order he said the Incident would have no bearing on his handling of the case. Justice Ilnra Out Politics. John P. O'Brien.

Assistant Corporation Counsel, said. "We deem the action of this company' In trying to charge rate higher than 95 rents Is highhanded. Their moves In this case are being closely watched by other gas companies whose attorneys sre in court, and who are seeking to put their hands In the consumers' pockets, and "1 cannot permit such statements." said the Justice. "We hafe no politics to discuss here, simply a question of law." The Public Service Commission concurred yesterday In a scries of recommendations made by Commissioner Krncke to the gns companies looking Mo preventing this winter a recurrence of the bhortsge of gas during the severe cold weather. He found that all the companies failed to keep up the standard of their gas not because of the cold weather, but because they had failed to make proper preparation, having too smill stocks of coal and oil, and In the case of some companies because they were short of equipment.
