Some papers said $1,800. There was also a report that. In 1918, when I came to the bank, I recommended that Connor be discharged because he consorted with extravagant persons, but that the board of directors opposed me In this recommendation.

I never made such a recommenda tion. 'The? reports are false. The board of directors and I have worked to gether In hearty co-operation. There has always been periect narmony between us.

eandltfate Antnr 1n the Tenth Dl.trlot, and VU Ham PollnskL Let Opportunity Slip By and Little Chance of Material Decrease Is Seen by Act of Estimate Board. Without audible protest from the great majority of taxpayers who will foot the bill, the unprecedented proponed budget of (398,950,172 will enter its final stages to-morrow. And it will not be materially lowered by the Board of Estimate, it was hinted in City Hall circles last night The "man in the street" has lei his chance of fighting against the. highest of all the Uylan high bud-gels slip by. Two public heating were held.

Six persons rained their voices against various Items in the proposed budget. Now, all the cutting to be effected before Oct. 81, triusl be done by members of Mayoi Hylan's cabinet. On Friday, Oct. 31, the board, under the provisions ot the City Charter, must decide what shall be Its expense account for For the past eight years the budget has increased each year.

This year's proposed figure is tiigher than the-, figure fixed in 1923. The annual tax rates have risen fairly consistently, according to the records. Two public hearings are bald each give the taxpayers an opportunity to state their will. According to some of the oldest daily of City Hall, very seldui. have the people who 'aear the brunt ot rising municipal expenditure made any determined fight at these hearings.

This year was no exception to the general rule of popular Indifference, It was pointed out. The Board of Estimate met Thursday morning. It met again Friday afternoon. On Thursday morning there ware two persons who protested. One was man who appears nt practically every Board of Estimate meeting and makes suggestions when he tnlnkj the city isn't being run correctly.

Another was a lawyer whose client wanted the appropriation of the New lork Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children beld up, because ot the contention of a former employ that his (30 pay receipt bad been forged. On Friday atfernoon there were four speakers. They were the same 'civic workers who appeared In Thurs- day's session; a lawyer who appealed to have the appropriation of a volunteer life saving eliminated; the representative of an organization that wants to eliminate the Schick teat frotr the public schools, and a woman who had no protest to make. No one appeared from the ranks of what City Hall calls "unpaid civic workers" to complain some salary appropriations were too high and 'some too low. The Citizens' Union Issued two statements, but none of Its representatives was heard at the budget hearings.

And It was- hinted last night in political circles, suggestions as to when and where. to slash are likely to come from only one source on the Board of Estimate. The Controller has made statements to date, but it Is known, It was said, that there are several things in the budget to which he objects. One of them, according to the reports, is the proposed (25,000 municipal press-agent bureau. The five Borough Presidents are hardly liable to do any "subtracting," was another opinion heard last night among the sharps.

They will be particularly reluctant, it prophesied, to touch salaries. Borough Presidents never do lop off the payrolls of their own offices, according to the political veterans. Consequently. It was added, it seems mighty probable that each Is impelled to be "easy" on the other fellow's pay list unless the other fellow happens to be a Controller.

But before I had time to carry out any such resolve the great man looked up and upon his Invitation to Inform hlnr of my errand I told him I had decided to become an actress and had selected the Frohman Theatre for the scene of my debut. Took Frohman's Advice. "He showed no surprise at this revelation, but he began to explain the difficulties which lay In my path: that the theatre was very exacting; that one stood much better ohance if born to the profession. Finally I told him of my little story accepted by Mr. Bonner, and he brightened up and said that was the thing I should do I should write." So Laura Jean took Frohman's advice, and stayed away from Bonner until she had attained 18 years of age.

Once Laura Jean libbey was a traitor to her own "happy ending gospel." She had always subjected her heroes and heroines to all sorts perils and hardships only to unite them when all seemed lost. They were always married, and, as far as is known, always lived happily ever afterward. But onoe Laura Jean Libbey switched to an unhappy ending. She separated her lovers; she sent the hero one way and the heroine another. They never met again.

There was not the familiar Laura Jean Libbey happy ending. There was no marriage ceremony and no life of everlasting happiness. Righted Great Wrong. What was the result? Letters poured in upon her, letters of complaint, letters of grief. She had broken hearts with that story; she had wrecked young, pliable ideals.

It would not happen again, she resolved. Even this Ibsenic ending could be made Pollyana-llke. And she did it Laura Jean Libbey rewrote the last chapter ot that tragic story and united her lovers for that life of everlasting happiness. Then came letters of thanks, thousands of them. She had righted a great wrong.

"What encouragement Is there for anyone to struggle against adversity and setbacks, If at the end of It all one must be denied happiness?" she said as an excuse for rewriting that last chapter. Laura Jean Libbey entered newspaper work when still In her teens. Even though writing novels at feverish, haste to supply the RUblie demand for her stories she served as editor of the "New York Fashion Baaaar." She was for three years also special writer on the "New York Evening World." Many of her stories ran in serial form In leading magazines in the eighties and the nineties and many a last chapter was postponed over and over again because of the demand from the editors of these magazines that the story be kept going, "Continued in Onr Next" Adept. "Don't end it," they begged, and so she. wrote and wrote, holding back that last chapter as long as she dared.

Her stories appealed to women and young girls. They enjoyed record-breaking sales and It Is estimated that 15,000,000 copies of her novels have been published. The best known of her novels were "Lovers Once, But Strangers Now," "That Pretty Young Girl," "Miss Mlddleton's Lover," "A Forbidden Marriage," "Olive's Courtship" and "When His Love Grew Cold." Of her books the author regarded "Lovers Once, Butj Strangers Now" and "When His Love Grew Cold" as the best. "Miss Mlddleton's Lover" was dramatized and produced at lllaney's Theatre, here, under thj title "Parted on. Her Bridal On the opening night the audience demanded the appearance of the author before the curtain.

Found It Easy To Write. Miss Libbey regarded as one of the great satisfactions of her life the fact that she had seen her books read wherever she traveled In the United States from the Atlantlo to the Pacific. Asked once how she was able to turn out novels so frequently ehe re-plled: "I have never had to struggle te succeed In completing a book. I always have found It easy to write. Usually I figured on twenty chapters to a.

book and then proceeded to write one chapter a day, but sometimes there were several days b-tween chapters." At another time she was asked If she had ever built the plot of a book on any Incident of her own life. She replied: "Oh, no. Do I look as If I had had any adventures? I haven't." Laura Jean Llbbey's death, though expected by members of her family, came as a distinct shock to her large circle of friends. She herself had long anticipated It in at least one direction. For years a granite shaft, one of the loftiest and handsomest In Greenwood Cemetery, with her name carved In large letters em oss the base, has stood In the burial plot In which she will be Interred.

It Is known that a large number ot business houses have looked up their business rivals and compared the aniount of taxes they paid with their own and the volume of business each transacted during the taxable year. From this source numerous "squeals" have already been received and others are antlc'pated. The complaints do not stop with business rivals. Men In residential sections, Who are familiar with the revenues ot their neighbors, have gone to the trouble of reporting to the Collector that such neighbors have "held out" on the full and com nlete rennrt nn their taxes.

(By United Press.) WASHINGTON, Oct J5c The ques tion of whether Congress, in enacting the publicity section of the tax law, Intended lo authorize publication of tax totals by newspapers, probably will remain unanswered until It Is de- olded by the courts, it was felt In of ficial Washington to-night Still disturbed by confusion accom panytng the sudden baring of tax secrets, officials In the Treasury and Department of Justice began to take the attitude the confusion could not be dirslnated until an authoritative ruling was obtained by judicial determination. That such a ruling Is bound soon to come was believed assured by the mandate of Section 8184 of the Revised Statutes, which directs collectors -to report apnarent violation of tax laws to the nearest United States District Attorney within thirty days.

The first collector to take notice of this statute and draw, the attention of a district attorney to the publication of tax totaes will precipitate an authoritative court Interpretation nnon the question. Attorney General Stone is expected back here Sunday night and probably will Issue a formal opinion If required to do so oy eitner ine White House or the Treasury De partment Final Interpretation of any statute however, can come only irom ine courts.
