Sentenced to from five to ten years in Auburn Prison for the murder of her rejected suitor, Thomas Templeton, 17-year-old Dorothy Perkfcis to-day swung on her heel, threw back her head and marched out of the courtroom in the Criminal Courts Building, in Manhattan, so rapidly that the court attendants had to run to keep up with her. i i- The sentence cams as the climax of a morning of apparent ill-feeling Even soir.o of his supporters admit to-day I "might have been a mistake to call the legislators back. i Sensing defeat, several of the big Democratic leaders here appear tn.

be trying to find a ray out for th Governor. One of them, a close personal friend as well as an advisor, said to-day that whatever happens the fight Is going to be between the Republicans and the State Fferk Council. All tbe Governor had to do with tbe matter, he said, was to coll the special session so the parka council and the Republicans might settle their differences If tney could. Smith Counts on Sensta. According to reports, the Governor has counted upon passing his parks plan In the Senate, even if the Republican majority In the Assembly repudiate It and repassed the Thayer bill which the Governor vetoed last winter.

There dees not seem to be any chance that he win he able to do this. Gov. Smith has lost one Damo-i cratlc vote In the upper bouse, It became known to-day. Senator! Nathan Straus, of Manhattan, itl was reported to-day, will not bej here. Word was received from Newn York that Senator Straus is in Europe This will make it necessary for' Gov.

Westall, also of Westchester, whom the Governor Is said to hate counted on, will vote for the lhayer bill again, as he did last winter, according to reports.

Senate Leader John Knight. It is believed, will be able to hold the Republican majority in the Upper House In line. One report to-day was to the effect that Senator Georgs R. Fearon, of Syracuse, would vote with the Democrats for the Governor's plan. This report was alsn denied by Fearon's friends In his absence.

Speaker Joseph A. McGlnnlea would not make any statement as ta( what he thought the outcome of the special session would be. Ha told newspaper men there would be a conference of Republicans, after the session convened to-night and after the Governor had tpade his address. it does not seem to be any secret, however, that it Is the Intention of the Republicans in the Assembly to repass the Thayer bill. While the biH is ready to be handed up, it has not been made public.

1 Is Same Old Measure. It was declared, however, by those who claimed to know, that the bill is practically in the identical form! as the old bill which the Governon vetoed. There are a number of minor changes, It la said. While! the provisions of the new bill are the same as the one passed last win) ter, the appropriation for two three local park comissions hu beea changed. The appropriation for the Xong Island Park Commission, which provides (750.000 for immediate use, i( is reported, is left in the new bill, There is no change in the new hilt, so far as Long Island Is concerned.

While most of the lawmakers have not yet arrived, the hotels are crowded with men and women who have come here in the interest of the proposed new legislation, which makes it seem that the struggle will be a bitter one. No one will say how long he be lleves the special session will last.

The Central Newa Hong Kong correspondent declares that a wholly unconfirmed rumor swept that city to-day that Japan had declare war on South China following assassination of the Cantou treasurer of a Japanese hospital.

'S SENTENCE Supreme Court Justice William F. Hagarty to-day deferred pronouncing sentence on Josef Reiter, ex-general manager of the Federal Food Stores, whom a special panel jury convicted last week on an indictment charging grand larceny in the first degree. Imposition of sentence was put over until Friday by Justice Hagarty, in view of the fact that Samuel and Louis Reiter, brothers of Josef, are still to be tried. At the same time Samuel and Louis were ordered to trial to-morrow. Their case was scheduled to be tried to-day.

Though averse to granting any further delay, Justice Hagarty allowed the case to go over until tomorrow when James F. Donnelly, counsel for the defendants, declared he had only recently been retained and had not had the chance to familiarize himself with the evidence. JoBef, who once formed the cen tral link in the chain of 180 Federal Food Stores in Brooklyn and Queens, was called before the bench at 10 20 A. M.

Einstein Condemns Tennessee's Fight on 'Monkey Theory of Man BERLIN, June 22.

Prof. Albert Einstein, world-known for his theory of relativity, to-day broke his silence on the Scopes case In Tennessee Involving evolution. He condemned muzzling of academlo freedom. Making It clear that he did not desire his remarks to be interpreted as interference in an Ahnerlcan' family squabble," the professor declared emphatically: 7Any restriction of academic liberty heaps coals of shame upon the community which tolerates such suppression." Other German scientists and Yheologiana are eagerly following communiques from the American educational battlefront." Tells Them No Man Can Serve Two Masters," Referring to Continuance on the Public Payroll." Mayor Hylan to-day called on his department heads and commissioners to present a united front against the enemies of his administration. During a long speech at a conference at City Hall the Mayor sjimded a warning that thers must be no dissension In his official family.

He made It plain there is no room in the city government for officials balancing on the fringe of doubt." There is no man here who does not realize that If happiness and success are to be enjoyed by his own family, peace and harmony must prevail In the family unit," said the Mayor. A selfish member of the family, seeking more than his due, will disrupt that peace and harmony. The influence of interfering outsiders is bad, because it likewise creates dissension. The Mayor then recited some of the accomplishments of his administration and told of the attempts of the traction Interests to disrupt the official family. Then he continued: But this administration and this official family is going remain intact in spite of such efforts.

However, If there is any member of our official family who feels embarrassed by this possibility he is a weak link in the official chain. He will see. the necessity for the removal of such weakness, which can be most speedily accomplished by his voluntary separation from the official family. A common purpose can only be accomplished by a united effort. Loyalty must actuate every member of the official family, if the people are to continue to be served and protected, and if ever united effort were ever imperative it is now, when the greatest organized band of crooks, grafters, underworld denizens and increase-fare promoters are uniting for the common purpose of getting control of the city government to exploit the people.

When any private or personal consideration Interferes with the full discharge of official obligation to the people, the particular member of the municipal service who is so circumstanced has ceased to be a faithful steward. If the public service is to be kept clean and untainted and the wheel of the municipal plant is t. be operated with an energy springing solely to promote the public weal, no shadow of suspicion should rest cn the name or conduct, personal or official, of anyone occupying a post of confidence in the government of the city. As I have insisted that departments shall be run without dictation trom outside interests, I shall now Insist that every department head stand loyally by his office and bo prepared to defend his official acts from any and all attacks which may be made. No department head sincerely devoted to his duty and to the people will try to evade this responsibility.

Any timidity, any reluctance, any indifference to stand up manfully and to vigorously defend a department which may be attacked will be construed as Indicating a lack of sympathy with the alms and purposes of the administration, a lack of loyalty to the public cause or a lack of lndi vidual capacity furnishing sufficient warrant for the change so obviously demanded. Any sitting astride a fence of con. venience with one leg In the public service and the other in the bailiwick of those suspected enemies of the public Is inconsistent with that loyalty, absolute and unqualified to the people of this city, which Is of paramount importance to a continuance on the public payroll. 'No man can serve two masters a truism which needs no elaboration." The Mayor bitterly attacked the newspapers, declaring that a good many of them play the traction game six days a week and twice Sunday." He referred to a characterization of the newspapers made eighty-two years ago by Mike Walsh during a speech in Tammany Hall. The Mayor quoted Walsh as saying: There 1 not a more pitiful, contemptible, degrading, corrupt lying, thieving set of scoundrels-in existence than the mental prostitutes who are connected 1th the publio press." The Mayor declared there is little he could add to this scorching arraignment of the press by Mike Walsh.

The Mayor went all over the old traction story, reviewed the alleged million dollar steal and again attacked Gerhard M. Dahl, of the B-M-T. He said he welcomed a battle In the open with the increased fare crooks" and their friends. EXCEPTIONAL PROGRESS" MADE BY WEEKS, REPORT WEST GLOUCESTER. Mass, June 23.

Leighton Frooka. When Frooks presented himself at the bar as the case was called, the Judge asked him what he had to do with the case.

He declated he had been retained by the girl's mother, in place of Sidney U. Lash, and had had no time to file a substitution. The defendant's counsel, Mr. Lash, did his work very well," said Judge McIntyre, and I doubt very much if you can supplant him." The judge then said he had seen In a newspaper Interview yesterday where Frooks was reported to have said that he thought that he (Judge McIntyre) had conducted the trial unfairly. If, said the judge, I was certain that you said that, I would regard your conduct as contumacious Probably local thunder showers! and 8end your papem to the Appellate Division.
