A list of names of New York bootleggers, rum run ners and pirate gangs has been handed the American authorities as an outcome of the piracy of the French steamer Mulhouse. Martin Legasse, director of the company owning the Mulhouse, from which $2,000,000 worth T( liquor was taken, made this an nouncement before the naval court here to-day. It the American au thorities act promptly, many important arrests can be effected, he said. The naval court Is hearing charges of complicity In piracy against Max Jerome Phaff, a New Yorker, who was captured after he had boasted of directing the raid on the Mulhouse. Legasse said that on the day the Mulhouse was uttacked, there were twenty-six ships loaded with liquor lying off New York.

British. French, Norwegian and Swedish ships were in the "rum row." he said, but the Mulhouse was selected for pillage because of jealousy of French competltloa In rum-running. PERTH AMBOY, Oct.

GEN. CHARLES G. DAWES Mayor In Radio Talk Falls to Mention Controller's Plan for Transit Relief for New York Straphangers. BUT HURLS BOLD DEFIANCE AT M'ANENY COMMISSION Doesn't Care a Rap for Threats of Libel Suits, He Declares. Mayor John P.

Hylan feist night sprang a surprise on radio fans. It was- a totally unexpected talk on transit, through WNYC, the city broadcasting station, atop the Municipal Building, Manhattan. The Mayor discussed relief for the "riding public" for five minutes. But lie didn't breath a syllable about Controller Charles L. Craig's plan for the legal operation of municipally owned buses or the group of bills to be presented to the Municipal Assembly to solve the-' bus muddle.

Defiance of Chairman George Mc-Aneny, of the Transit Commission, was beard. Harsh words about Gerhard M. Dahl, chairman of the B-M. T. board of directors, came over the air.

But there was nothing about buses. Only a few days they were held to be one of the subjects dearest to the heart of the Hylan ad ministration. The failure to mention Controller Craig's plan last night caused a re- port In political circles that the Mayor la running away from the suggestion that he use his own Muni cipal Assembly to get at least one form of transportation relief. Make Operation Legal. On Friday, the Controller gave out ma plan.

He showed how the Municipal Assembly, under the Home Rule Law, had power to make mu nldpal bus operation perfectly law ful. He showed that the Municipal Assembly coui'd amend the charter and thereby make bus operation a function of the Department of Plant and Structures. He supplied four bills, by which the project could be accomplished. According to law yers, the bills might have made City bus-running "injunction proof." The Mayor said nothing -when Craig revealed the plan, whch was the result Of months of legal study. He said the ensuing forty-eight -hours.

It was known, however, that he had been In consultation Ivith Corpora tion Counsel George P. Nicholson, In spite "bf whatever conversation he may have had with legal experts. the Mayor's lips were sealed on buses last night. i Unafraid of EH be! Threats. Instead, the Mayor told the radio public that he was not afraid of threats made by McAneny and DahL He said he would continue prosecu tlon of his charges of negligence against the Transit Commission.

He made no reference -to the fact that his own Board of Estimate refused to approve his request, that it ask removal of the commission by the Governor, until his original charges had been modified. The modification included deletion of a paragraph which accused the Transit Commis sioners of "culpable negligence, causing the death of human beings." The Mayor's talk was an lnterruo. tlon of the regular programme of station wnic. It came at 7:46 o'clock, when an orchestra was sche duled to play. The announcer de clared that the musicians would give way to a talk by the Mayor.

The Mayor read his speech. The announ. oer declared "You have Just listened to a talk by Mayor Hylan," and the programme was resumed It was learned last night that the Mayor did not develop the idea of making a radio address In the No advance notice of me taiK was given.

The welcome seemed to be contagious. It swept across the platform where all the big leaders of the Republican party tn Brooklyn were seated. It spread to Mrs.

Dawea who accompanied her famous husband to the platform and who also smilingly acknowledged the ovation. Gen. Dawes was accompanied by Murray Lamont, of Manhattan, a personal friend; by Mrs. Dawes and his personal stenographer. Ex-United States Senator William M.

Calder, who presided, had paid Gen. Dawes a high tribute before he came. In Introducing him to the audience, ex-Senator Calder was Interrupted by the General i himself with a facetious remark.

A little after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon whistles tooted and sirens screamed and made great uproar in the Upper Bay. People in South Brooklyn and Staten Island rushed to the roof tops to search the skies for the cause of the excitement Gazes were anxiously leveled in the direction of Jersey, in the belief that the Shenandoah had arrived ahead of schedule time on her jaunt coast Two police airplanes shot up from the hangars at Fort Hamilton and wheeled about looking for the cause of the excitement Not many of those who listened to the uproar knew the cause. It signalized the arrival of John W.

Davis and a municipal ferry boatload, of Democrats at the St. George terminal of the ferry. It was the first time a Presidential candidate had ever visited the island borough, and the waterfront made appropriate noises to demonstrate pleasure at the honor. Standing opposite Borough Hall, Candidate Davis addressed a crowd of four or five thousand. He had come from the Hotel commodore, where he had talked to several thousand women at a luncheon.

And he was on his way to the Bronx, to wind up his activities at a big meeting of Democrats in Morris High School. Davis Boosts Riegelmann. At Richmond the inevitable question about, the Ku Klux Klan was fired at Mr. Davis, and he answered it in the customary way. He paid a compliment to Borough President John A.

That borough is Included in the Second Judicial District, in which he is the Tammany candidate for Supreme Court Justice.
