MAY NEED TO RAISE $15,000,000.

Of This About $11,000,000 Would Be Borne by New York City. Back from Albany where they were in conference with Governor Whitman and the leaders of the Legislature on the need of a direct State tax for next year, Mayor Mltchel, Borough President Pounds, Aldermanic President McAneny and Controller Pren-dergast all declared today that the question was not yet settled. It would be another week. It was said, before the detailed figures could be secured on which to base a decision. "The trip was not satisfactory," said Mayor Mltchel, "in the sense that we did not agree with the Senators as to how large the direct tax should be.

They think It should be larger than wo do, but they promised to consider every suggestion that we made. While the Mayor admitted that Controller I'rendergast took a slightly different position from himself and Mr. McAneny at the conference, all hands denied that there had been any serious disagreement, as had been reported from Albany. According to the figures given out at Albany the State must raise $64,000,000 in order to meet its expenses next year. This is 15,000,000 in excess of the funds ava lab e.

which means that the fifteen million will constitute the amount of the direct tax neces sary. As New York pays 73 per cent, of this it would mean about to be borne here. That would necessitate a raise In the tax rate of about 14 points. "All the officials from the city," said Mr. Pounds, "agree that they want the tax as small as possible, nothing if possible.

But we couldn't base a final opinion on the facts laid before us. Wo mast first see the detailed figures supporting the Albany totals for the various IUmp appropriations. And It will be another week before we can see them. Then we can express an opinion as to the need of the extra levy. We had a friendly chat with the legislative leaders, but no decision of any kind was reached.

There was nothing that occurred on the entire trip that I know of that would bear out a report that the Mayor and Mr. Prendergast or any of us, for that matter, were in disagreement on the question." President Pounds entered a defense of the Legislature, remarking that it round itself in an embarrassing position every year as regards finances in connection with this city." He said that every strike it made for economy here he cited the recent plan to cut down the cost of the State Board of Health had been met with a wave of protest in the city. Controller Prendergast declined to make any further statement on the situation since his praise for the financial officers at Albany and his sug gestion that the State could make use of its sinking fund surplus to meet the present condition. He" made light of his reported split with the Mayor. President McAneny said that he would continue to fight the proposed direct State tax or anything else like it.

He called attention to the Dig in crease in the State's expenditures over last year. CONVICT GETS NEW CHANCE Osborne's Plea Helps Win Free dom for Patrick J. Cooney.

The novel point as to how much of her independent Income may be legal ly used by a wife after bein? forced into bankruptcy when she has a husband to support her, is raised in the case of Mrs.

Hcrmlne C. Peyser of 578 Seventh street, against whom an involuntary petition was filed today by Vincent Earth, Hen of 48 Bedford avenue, who allege her liabilities amount to upward t.f $100,000. The petitioning firm, doing an antique furniture and upholstery business, Is a copartnership consisting of Samuel Herz and Helen Grand and the Mechanics Bank. It claims $3,301.93 for goods sold and delivered, and services in refurnishing and refitting the defendant's home In Seventh street, as well as $600 on a note made by her In January of this year and to the Mechanics Bank. The tietition alleges that Mrs.

Pey ser has no occupation and relies chiefly for her support on a life Interest in the estates of her father and mother, the late Herman Wellbrock and Marie Wellbrock, which brings her In from $8,000 to $10,000 a year. Her husband is William Peyser, in business with his brother in-the firm of Wll Ham Peyser Son, manufacturers of saddles. In explaining the unusual features of the case today, A. G. Lampke of 52 Broadway, Manhattan, counsel for the petitioners, said: "Mrs.

Peyser was 'eft an Interest In the estate of her father, Herman Wellbrock, who left an estate of $500,000, which was tied up so that his widow was to receive the Income as long as she lived. At her death in 1912, Mrs. Peyser succeeded to the income of one-half of her estate, amounting to about $100,000. She has been drawing between $8,000 and $10,000 a year. "In 1908 Mrs.

Peyser's right to the income from the estates. She has never received her discharge. "The question that must be determined now Is how much of her Income Mrs. Peyser may be allowed to use, In view of her obligations to the furniture firm, and in view of the fact that she. has a husband able to support her."

Magner, forefront of the "rooster" forces who are credited with a desire to try conclusions with County Leader McCooey. Like SJster Susie of alliterative fame, Mr.

Magner has been extremely busy last night and today, according to word which has reached the ears of the McCooey men, only Instead of "sewing shirts for soldiers," the Jeffersonian Alliance man has been inditing epistles to mysterious individuals.

There are 1,674 members of the County Committee and they are scheduled to have a meeting next Tuesday.

In a letter to Commissioner Hayward, sent today, Mr. Lawson gives warning of this. "I would like to caution you about the franchise of the Long Island B.ail-road over the Bushwlck right of way," says Mr.

Lawson in the letter. "There is a flaw in the city's title at the intersection of the railroad with Jefferson street. This particular street at the intersection of the Long Island Kailroad, has never been ceded to the city, and therefore, the city nad no right to give a franchise to the Long Island Kailroad, and the authorities should take this Into consideration when making an allowance to the Long Island Railroad for the right to operate over their roadbed.

Rose and Paskus, attorneys for J. B. Greenhut Company, made the following statement: "The action taken today in the J.

B. Greenhut Company matter is a friendly proceeding in equity, and is for the purpose of conserving the assets of the company and to enable the continuance of the business vlthout interruption during the time- required to bring about an equitable Adjustment of all liabilities of the company, Including the bonds Issued by the company on its real estate. "The company has always enjoyed the highest credit. The papers filed today show that exclusive of the real estate, the other assets of the company, us of March 31, 1915, amount to more than double the total current liabilities. I "The company had to meet adverse conditions during the past year, which were beyond its control.

It was not only affected by the general depression of business during the past year, but was seriously handicaped by the fail- tire of the Siegel enterprises, owing to the fact that the siegel name was In cluded in the corporate title of the com- pany at the time of that failure, and this caused the general Impression on the part of the public that the enter- Lriscs were connected. This was es pecially evidenced by the run of din turbed depositors at the bank, whicn was conducted In the Greenhut store at the time of the Siegel failure. The Greenhut Bank had about sixty thou sand depostiors. practically all being customers of the store, and many of them persons of limited means.

"The financial situation of the company will be placed in an absolutely satisfactory condition if it should be possible by an amicable agreement to bring about an adjustment with the holders ot tne real estate bonds. To do this It has become necessary to institute these equity proceedings, and In the course of these proceedings it is continently neiicvea tn.it the prob lem of readjustment will be solved. "It is the purpose or the parties in interest to see it that the business of the corporation Is reorganized on a solid and permanent profitable basis, and that the company will continue to hold the prestige which it has enjoyed for many years past.

Notwithstanding the impression prevalent In many quarters that an department stores must move uptown, it may be stated that the Greennut store has been and Is now doing a very large business, especially In medium priced merchandise! It can be operated on a much lower expense basis than the; uptown stores and consequently Is in a much better position to maintain a profitable business.
