31 Read Dr. Brady in Eagle, Judge Advises Boy Smoker An apple-cheeked lad with an innocent face was among the dozen persons brought before Magistrate Walsh in the Adams street court this ing, charged with smoking or carrying lighted cigars and cigarettes the subway stations in the vicinity of the Borough Hall. "How old are you?" the magistrate asked. "Seventeen," was the reply. "Did you smoke a cigarette in the subway station?" was the next question and was a prompt reply in the affirmative.

"Sit down until I get through with the men," continued the magistrate. want to have a talk with you." The fine today was $2, and after everybody but the boy had paid, the magistrate called him to the front of BUNK, SAYS SIMPSON ON HYLAN THREAT TO STUMP FOR 5C. FARE Mayor Says He'll Fight Any Assembly Candidate Not Pledged Against Fare Boost. Mayor Hylan's threat to take the stump against any Assembly candidate who did not pledge himself to fight in Albany against any move to increase the carfares on the traction lines in New York City has left at 'least one candidate undismayed. The dauntless one is Lt.

William Thorn Simpson, Republican candidate in the 12th District of Brooklyn. The 12th is the Park Slope and is United States Senator William M. Calder's home dis. trict. Lt.

Simpson's retort to the Mayor today was: "That's a lot of bunk. Let him come." is not the first occasion that the 12th A. D. candidate has locked horns with the Mayor. The last occasion was when a boatload of Brooklynites went down the bay to greet the transport America returning home with a cargo of 27th Div.

men. When the Mayor's party arrived Simpson shouted: "Back to Palm Beach; you're four hours late!" Lt. Simpson is one of the candidates canvassed by the Mayor's Non-Partisan Vigilance Committee which seeks to line up the Assembly aspirants on the 5-cent fare issue, who has not yet made a reply. "I not pledged myself as yet one way or the other as to an increased fare," said he, "and do not intend to So until I have become just an ordinary citizen and have not more familiar with the subject. I am the facilities of the experts of the Public Service Commission, who have hade a study of it and who should be able to decide whether or not it is necessary and beneficial to the people.

"As to the Mayor's threat to come into the district of anyone who doesn't measure up to his idea of the situation and help defeat them, let him come, so far as I am concerned. That's a lot of bunk." Representative F. H. La Guardia, Republican opponent of Robert L. Moran for President of the Board of Aldermen, also had something to say today regarding the Mayor's charge that the traction interests were trying to defeat Moran.

Friends of La Guardia saw in the Mayor's statement an inference that the traction interests were aiding La Guardia. "Anyone who says that the traction interests are in any way interested in my campaign or could in any way control me is lying, knows he is lying and is lying for political declared La Guardia. Democratic County Leader McCooey was asked what he thought of the possibility of the Mayor's injecting himself into the campaign as a stump speaker. "All of our candidates are opposed to an increased fare so it isn't necessary for the Mayor to make any campaign here against any Democrats," replied Leader McCooey with a suring smile. At the headquarters of the NonPartisan Vigilance Committee in the Municipal Building it was stated that replies to the fare questionnaire recently sent out by that body at the Mayor's direction had been received from 15 out of 23 Democratic candidates for Assembly in Brooklyn and 17 out of 23.

Republican candidates. All of them, it was said, have taken a stand in opposition to an increased fare. A summary of the replies will be made public before October 15. Republican County Leader Livingston, when seen, referred his questioner to the platform adopted by the Republican County Committee at Kismet Temple. "The platform we adopted there said, as I recall it: 'We pledge our candidates for member of assembly to investigate the transit conditions in this county before passing on the enactment of any legislation to increase the said he.

tisement. Chicago, 9 GARRISON READY TO MEET CITY HALF WAY ON TRANSIT PROBLEM B. R. T. Receiver Seems Favorable to Nixon Plan--Confident of Finding Solution.

(By a Staff Correspondent.) Seabright, N. October 9---Lindley M. Garrison at his home here today declared that as receiver of the B. R. T.

system he was prepared to "do anything that is reasonable and practicable" to come to an agreement with the city officials on a solution of the transit problem. Judge Garrison made this statement when asked to state what concessions, if any, he was willing make to the city in the way of surrender of perpetual franchise rights and waiving of other features of the B. R. present contracts. "If you ask me to be specifle as to what concessions, if you wish call them that, I am prepared to make," he said, "I cannot tell you.

For at present I have no means of knowing what concessions on my part are necessary to bring me into accord with the policy of the city officials, as there has been no statement by them as yet of their policy. would be futile, therefore, it seems to me, for me to state to The Eagle or any one else that I was prepared to surrender this right or that -for I might offer to surrender 99 things and not chance upon the one thing which is essential to bring me into accord with their policy. Ready to do Anything Reasonable. "But I stand ready to do anything that is reasonable or practicable arrive at a solution of this problem. I am prepared exchange any proper 'quid pro quo' for permission to increase fares to the point where the solvency of the railroads will restored." Judge Garrison, in the course of discussion of the transit situation Brooklyn, indicated that he was ready to meet the city officials at least half way in any endeavor to put into fect their transit policy--provided, course, the city's policy stops short forcing railroad companies to the wail so they can be disposed of as much scrap' from the junk heap.

Judge Garrison's duty as receiver quires him to strive for the preservation of the property of "res" that has been entrusted to him and consequently precludes him from assisting in any plan to scrap the roads. In discussing the situation Judge Garrison made it clear that he was giving voice to his own opinions; that during his vacation he has had no opportunity to discuss recent developments with Judge Julius M. Mayer, who appointed him, and that consequently no policy to meet the latest trend of events had been mapped out. The receiver indicated that he saw no necessity to "stand and fight to the death" for perpetual franchises or any other feature of the contracts between the city and company, the loss which would not destroy the "res" has been appointed to guard. The receiver gave the impression that does not regard the perpetual franchises as something inviolable and sacred and essential to the preservation of the property.

Sure There Is a Basis of Solution. owe a duty to the public work out a reasonable solution of this problem," he said, "and, there is, I am sure, a basis of solution that will safeguard the interests of the public, the city and those who have invested their savings in the property. That is the duty of the city officials as well as myself and Judge Mayer. "The duty of the captain of a ship that is disabled in midocean is to save the ship, not only for the protection of the man who owns the ship but to save the lives of his passengers. The The owners can only lose their property.

passengers are in danger of losing their lives. The captain's first duty is to his passengers. "The same is true of the transit situation. There is no denying the fact that transportation is the life of the city. The essential thing is not to save roads for their owners but to save them as the life of the city.

The officials are the ones who must determine what policy they deem best for the protection of the public at large. They are the ones who know what concessions are necessary on the part of the receiver. As I said before, it appears to me it would be futile for me to offer this, that and the other thing when I have no means of knowing what the essential thing to offer to reach a basis of negotiation with them." Seems Favorable to Nixon Plan. Although Judge Garrison would not express an opinion in so many words of Commissioner Nixon's eight-pointed plan for the settlement of the problem, this discussion of the entire situation indicated that in the brief study he has made of Commissioner Nixon's program he had found nothing that was an insuperable barrier from tho company's point of view. His attitude toward the Nixon program seemed wholly favorable.

The receiver expressed himself in complete and hearty accord with one feature of Mr. Nixon's plan. That was the proposal to eliminate holding companies from the transit field. Judge Garrison declared he believed it was wrong in principle to have holding companies in fact controlling the operations of public utility corportions without themselves being subject to control and supervision by the public agencies created to supervise the activities of public service companies. Garrison said he believes it is evident to all that the railroad companies are essential to the life of the community; that they cannot continue longer to operate on their present revenues; that the only possible means of increasing revenue is to increase fares and that fares can only be increased with the consent of public officials.

For the purposes of discussion of the situation, the receiver assumed that it would be necessary to secure the consent of the Board of Estimate, Public Service Commissioner Nixon and Transit Construction Commissioner Delaney, for, as he pointed out, no one contended that it would require the approval of more than these three official bodies, although in some quarters it was contended that approval by all three was not necessary.

Carlos Melendez, former President of the Republic of Salvador, died yesterday in a private sanitarium at 203 West 70th Manhattan, where he went a month ago. His funeral will be held tomorrow morning with a requiem mass in St.

Patrick's Cathedral. The body will be sent to San Salvador, capital of Salvador, for burial there. Carlos Melendez was President of the Republic of Salvador from March, 1915, to March, 1919. He was very popular in his native land and had a large following. When Mr.

Melendez relinquished the reins of government, his brother succeeded him and is at present the President of the country. Mr. Melendez's wife was with him at the time of his death. He retired from the presidency because of failing health and came to this country early in the summer, hoping to regain strength, but he was never in good health, and gradually failed until the end. NEW 28TH WARD SEWER Borough President Riegelmann informed the members of the 28th Ward Taxpayers Protective Association last night that plans for a 00,000 sewerage system in the 28th Ward have been completed by Chief Engineer Philip P.

Farley. The sewer system when installed will relieve the section of the floods which follow heavy rainfalls. The cost to the property owners, he said, would be about $100 for each 20- foot lot in the area bounded by Broadway, the borough line, Evergreens Cemetery and Newtown Creek. An unused sewer along Bushwick from Winfield st. to Greene will be used and save $500,000 in the cost of the improvement, Mr.

Riegelmann said. A spur of the new system will extend into Queens and part of the expense of the improvement may be borne by that community. The association voted to secure the approval of the local property owners for the plan. County Clerk William E. Kelly reviewed the work of his office.

Jared J. Chambers presided at the meeting and Paul Frankel corded.

Laundry proprietors were today in conference at the Hotel Pennsylvania, threatened strike in Manhattan, they chacussethere was a rumor that the strike would before nightfall but that was uncertain. Last night printed placards were thrown in through the windows of many Brooklyn laundry plants on which were printed the strikers' demands, including a closed shop, and the statement that the strikers ir: Manhattan and the laundry owners there had arrived at an understanding.

Some Brooklyn laundry owners said today that they were uncertain whether to handle any work for next week or not. They said the strike troubles had not reached them yet. Members of the International Laundry Workers Union assert that quite a number of laundry workers are already out in Brooklyn, including the force of one' steam laundry. They said that they expected the workers of another steam laundry to go out but at the laundry they mentioned it was declared that everybody was at work and that the management is following a policy of "watchful The convention of the Laundry Owners National Association is being held at the Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Julian Heath, head of the Housewives League, appealed to the members last night to put into effect some plan which would prevent the raising of prices for laundry work.

She said that well-to-do women had told her they would not be able to send their vast wash to the laundries if prices were raised. J. E. Dann of the Pilgrim Laundry, Brooklyn, formerly in charge of the Government laundries during the war, who is regarded as one of the foremost laundry experts in the Nation, said that he had informed his employees that they were already receiving the benefits for which the strikers in Manhattan had been fighting. Mr.

Dann said that the average pay of the laundry salesman was as high as $40 and that some of them earn as high as $60. He was not in favor. he said, of profit-sharing as sometimes practiced because the inefficient as well as the efficient worker benefits. "Don't discharge the inefficient workers," said he. "The inefficient men must live, and if they can't work they will' be forced to steal.

And they are stealing today. The present strike is nearing Brooklyn, My employees have asked me what it is all about. I have explained to them that the workers in Manhattan want shorter hours, better working conditions and higher pay. I have told them they are receiving the things for which their fellow- workers are striking." Mr. said today that he did not think that any of the laundries here doing work for exclusively private customers would be affected.

The plants that would probably suffer by a strike would be the hand laundries and the bulk laundries. A well-informed Brooklyn laundry owner declared that while pickets had been posted outside some of the Brooklyn plants there was no strike trouble as yet except at the Wilson laundry on Pennsylvania which was affiliated with one of the Manhattan laundries involved in the strike. He said that there might not be any strike trouble here before Monday as it was likely the laundry workers would meet again on Saturday night. FARCE-COMEDY PLOT IN MARITAL MIXUP Thomas MacPherson of Bay Ridge Asks Court to Unravel His Matrimonial Tangle. A failure of a lawyer to file a final annulment decree in 1911 has involved Thomas MacPherson of 549 39th in a strange matrimonial mix-up, and he finds himself with two wives on hand and the newest one seeking to have the marriage annulled.

MacPherson married his first wife, Vera, in New Jersey in 1909. A year later, through his father, James MacPherson, he brought suit for annulment. An interlocutory decree was entered by former Justice Marean, but the final decree was not filed after three months. MacPherson, on June 26, 1914, married Elizabeth Johnson of 722 Fourth making her Mrs. MacPherson No.

2. The second union was not happy, for Mrs. MacPherson brought a suit for separation. When her attorney, C. I.

Engel, discovered that the final decree annulling the husband's first marriage was never filed, she brought an annulment suit of her own. The case came before Justice Benedict when MacPherson applied for leave to enter a final decree as of 1911, so' as to' make his second marriage valid. Mr. Engel, attorney for the second wife, opposed the application, contending the original interlocutory decree should never have been awarded and that therefore the final decree should be withheld. Mrs.

MacPherson No. 1 has since remarried. Justice Benedict reserved decision. 3 STABBED IN CONEY ROW A free-for-all fight in the West End station at Coney Island early today started by a boy who, it is alleged, had stolen 30 cents from a fruit stand, resulted in three of the six participants being removed to the Coney Island Hospital. The other three, Andrew Martiello, 20, of 2850 West 14th Nicholas Brisco, 23, of 2710 West 1 15th and Abraham Weiner, 20, of 2805 West Second were held in $1,000 bail by Magistrate Dale in the Coney Island Court.

The three hospital patients were Alfred Newton, 24, of 2960 Ocean Parkway; John Knight of 276 Kings Highway, and Walter Kennahan of 825 54th st. All are conductors on the B. R. T. The fight started when Brisco, having chased and caught an unnamed boy, who he claimed had stolen 30 cents, had started to punish him.

The three conductors came up and ordered the punishment stopped. Blows fell and knives were drawn. Detectives Ryan, Callahan and Blake put an end to the fighting and Surgeon Drago patched up the injured men. FAR ROCKAWAY SALE. The Lewis H.

"No," was the answer. "Well, do, was the magistrate's counsel. "And read what Dr. Brady says there every night. I think he advises that no one should smoke, if at all, until one is 21." Magistrate Walsh had nothing to say about the "morning rolls" or the miles to be made, "on the hoof." but he extracted from the youth a promise to stop smoking until he was at least 21.

you tell your mother you had been summoned to court?" the boy was asked. "No." rejoined the lad. "She's had trouble enough. My brother got back from the war and has been misbehav. ing, and my father died not long ago." "In consideration of the fact that you have promised me to give up smoking until you are 21, I'll suspend sentence in your case." GERMANY'S BALTIC ARMY RETURNING TO HOME BARRACKS Movement is Hampered by Enmity of Esthonians and Letts, Berlin Reports.

(By the Associated Press.) Berlin, Wednesday, October 8-The greater portion of the German troops under Gen. von der Goltz, whose recall from the Baltic Provinces was demanded by the Allies and ordered by the German Government, are now on their way back to Germany, according to semi- official information received by the Tageblatt. The advices declare, however, that the Germans are badly hampered in their movements by the enmity of the Esthoniang and the Letts, who are putting obstructions in way of their progress along the 80-kilometer stretch between Mitau -and Shavli, where an opportunity offers itself to waylay the Germans. The number of men who are remaining in the Baltic is not definitely known here, nor has the exact strength of the returning contingent been revealed. The troops which are still holding out in their determination not to come back are being urged to return by Gen.

von Everhard, who was sent by the government to supervise the evacuation. Gustav Noske, Minister of Defense, told the German National Assembly yesterday that Maj. Bischof, an officer under the command of Gen. von der Goltz in the Baltic Provinces, will be courtmartialed for urging his troops to remain there, notwithstanding directions from Berlin that they return to Germany, Hugo Haase Shot by Enemy. Hugo Haase, leader of the Independent Socialists, was shot today but a quarter of an hour before he expected to make a sensational disclosure to the National Assembly in connection with the government's Baltic policies and the tolerant attitude of Berlin toward the west Russian antiBolshevist government.

This fact gave currency to a rumor that the attempt against Herr Haase's ilfe had a political origin, but a cross-examination of Vosa, his assailant, indicates that he was actuated by motives of personal revenge.

County Judge Norman S. Dike, at the forum meeting at the Baptist Church of the Redeemer, 18th st. and Cortelyou last evening, told for the first time where he was in hiding when the late Mayor William J. Gaynor, at that time a Justice of the Supreme Court issued a bench warrant for his arrest in the famous Guder. Shrievalty case.

There was a veil of mystery over Sheriff Dike's wreheabouts, and for a long time afterward there was much speculation as to where he could have been while the emissaries of the Court were looking for him. The Judge lifted the veil last night. He was in a carefully guarded room at the University Club. He left his hiding place only once and that was at the bidding of former Governor Benjamin B. Odell who had appointed Sheriff to take the place of Guden.

Judge Gaynor had held that Dike was unlawfully apand had advised Guden that pointed, hold in. Charpes were made that Guden had yiven pre-election pledges and Governor Odell removed him. The Governor then appointed Dike Sheriff and the latter afterwards took forcible possession of the Sheriff's office. Justice Gaynor then issued an order for his arrest and Dike disappeared. Finally he decided to beard the Justice in his chambers.

REOPENING OF TEST PAPERS DEMANDED Teachers Welfare League Appeals to School Board in Assistant of Principals Examination. drive not only on the Board of Examiners but also on the Board of Education itself will shortly be started by the Teachers Welfare League to have the last assistant to principals examination gone into and to ascertain why so many of the teachers who took the test failed. If definite action is not secured from either of these bodies the fight will carried to State Commissioner Finley.

Dr. Finley has already been informed of the circumstances and, according to Miss Clara L. Birkinshaw, chairman of the committee in charge, has prom: ised to see that justice is done. At yesterday's meeting of the League at the Pacific Library a petition was drawn up for Miss Birkinshaw to send to each member of the Board of Education and of the Board of Examiners. President Frederick 2.

Lewis declared that something was radically wrong with the way in which the examination had been conducted and that the Board of Education must in honor look into this matter and put heart into the 800 teacherg who Mr. Lewis said have been discouraged by their failure to pass the test. The petition was prepared at the request of Associate Superintendent Tildsey, who asked that the committee put its ideas in writing. Among other things, it says that since out of the 900 who took the examination 100. only 11 per were placed on the eligile list, its shows either the teachers were unprepared despite their eight or ten years preparation or that something is radically wrong with the examination system.

In support of their request that not only the papers of those who passed but also those who failed be gone over by a committee of men and women, who are known as educational authorities, the following reasons are given: "The papers were not marked by the Board Pa of a Examiners nor anyone chosen from a Civil Service List of Examiners, but were 'farmed out' to principals, many of whom are not known as educational authorities. "A collection of correct answers has been gathered from the various groups and indicates that a set of perfect answers could not have been written in three hours. Therefore no human being could have had a perfeet paper and the should have taken into consideration the amount of time a could give for each question and awarded credit accordingly, In many cases abbreviated answers were marked down for spelling. "More men than women passed. and, according to statistics, women are better able to express knowledge than men.

"Many of those who failed submitted copies of their answers to educational authorities, who said an injustice in the markings had been done. The ratings on Question 1, on Methods and Question 3 011 School Management received the most criticism. The petition contended that there was no set of standard answers, as was indicated by the fact that in some cases answers identical in meaning received different ratings while others unlike in meaning received the same amount of credit. Beside adopting this petition the association voted to open its membership to teachers in all the boroughs, Miss Clara C. Calking and Mr.

Lewis explained the appointment of Magnus Gross as secretary of the board of refirement, which position Mr. Lewis formerly held, a and told the members that they should fight to have teacher representative appointed to gO over the prior service records, the position to which Mr. Lewis was named in 1917.
