ISAACS BROOKLYN WAR HERO Risked Life to Save Captain of the President Sunk by U-Boat. Washington, Feb. 12 Representative Eagle of Texas made, a dramatic appeal to the. House yetserday to reward Lt. Edwurd Isaacs, IT.

S. of Brooklyn, for his heroic war exploit, following a submarine attack upon the President Lincoln, the ship to which he was attached. Lt. Isaacs stepped forwurd and volunteered to become a prisoner in another man's place after the President Lincoln hud been tor pedoed by a German TT-Boat. Lt.

Isuacs gave himself up as a prisoner to the commander of the submarine which destroyed the President Lincoln order that he might save his superior officers from capture. His sacrifice wus made after insistence by the German officer that the captain of the transport must surrender himself. In appealing to Congress to award Lt. Isaacs, Representative Eagle said: "When the submarine captain demanded an otlicer prisoner Isaacs walked forth and announced that his commander, Percy F. Koote, now aid to the Secretary of War, probably had perished and he was ready to go in his place.

For 1 1 days, while a captive, on the U-Boat, he learned facts about the German Navy's plan of operations which were of the utmost importance, to the Allied fleet. "With this in mind he escaped at the risk of his life and was so badly injured and beaten that now nt the age of 29 he is physically unable to remain In the Navy.

DRUG CRUSADE NETS 5 MORE PRISONERS One, Carrying Gun, Had Pistol Permit Issued by Seaman. Charged with having narcotics in their possession, three men were arrested yesterday at a house on Washington near W. 10th Manhattan, by detectives left on guard there following a raid made on the premises Friday. The prisoners, who were locked up at Headquarters, said they are Rulph Mather, 25, of 356 W.

67th Manhattan; Joseph Donnelly, 22, of 156 6th Brooklyn, and John Mc-Grath, 35, of 223 N. 3d Newark. All day long and last night Detective Cruger was kept busy answering the bell nt the Washington st. house, rung by alleged drug addicts, who told the detective they were seeking narcotics. Drugs valued at $2,000 were seized by the police yesterday when Patrolman William A.

Mahoney arrested Benjamin Zurin, 21, a driver, of 92 Attorney Manhattan. Zurin was charged with violating the Harrison Law when a package which he is al leged to nave been carrying was found, whose contents were held for further analysis. At the time of his arrest Zurin also had a automatic pistol in his pocket, but exhibited to the po lice one of the permits issued by Frank R. Seaman, Justice of the Peace at Mineola, L. whose methods of issuing pistol permits have been the subject of Investigation by the authorities.

According to the police, Zurin has served two terms in the Elmira Reformatory for pickpocketing. In July, 1920, he was shot four times in the abdomen in a fight in front of 37 2d Manhattan, and spent the following three months at Bellevuo Hospital. Zurin, according to the police, told them that he was driving a wagon for a wet wash laundry when, in passing through a street on the East Side, he saw two men throw the package into the street. He stopped, picked it up and put it under his coat, intending to examine it later, he explained. Zurin denied being a vendor of drugs.

WORKERS IN FAVOR OF J)AYLIGHT-SAYING Merchants Send Poll Returns to Govenor Miller. Original duplicate returns of a poll made by New York City employers oC tl.eir employees on the question of daylight saving, showing that out of 260,672 votes cast in 4,400 business establishments, 248,580, or 95.3 percent, favored daylight saving, have brcn sent to Governor Miller by the Merchants Association, it was announced yesterday.

The Governor is that information received by the association wot rants the belief that a sentiment similar to that expressed by the workers of this city prevallu in most of the cities of the State. With the returns of Hie votes cast, a stenographic, report of the hearing hcii bv the agricultural committees of the Senate and Assembly on the dcl'ght saving bills on Feb. 2. including the argument made by Heulih Commissioner Copeland, In which he d'-manded daylight saving as a valuable weapon for fighting epidmiccs of cholera, typhus fever and bubonic plague, all ot wnicn lire now imvuu-m in Europe, was sent. The letter of transmittal says: "We respectiuny suuniii uui uu- sentiment of the grout majority oi the population should be respected.

We believe, however, that a just com-piomise might lie reached by reducing the time during which the daylight u.ivinir law shall be operative, from seven months to five months." DECISION REDUCES ETTINGER POWERS Albany. Feb. 12 AVIlliam Et- tingor, Superintendent of Schools, has no jurisdiction over the examination of teachers for licenses and has no power to rate the examination papers or In any way Investigate or ascertain the fitness of an applicant taking the examination for a license and he may not wit hold licenses from those the Board of Examiners have placed upon the eligiblo list, according to a decision made today by Acting Commissioner of Education Frank B. Gil bert. It was also held by Commissioner Gilbert that the Board of Education may not determine the subjects ot examinations or the dates that such examinations shall be held.

He holds that the section of the bylaws of the Hoard that provides for this Is Invalid and that the Board of Examiners shall prescribe the examination In nil subjects, determine the fitness of the applicant and recommend or not recommend that a license be Issued. The Board of Superintendents shall decide generally the subjects of the examinations shall make their recommendations to the Board of Education, whose responsibility then ceases. lecured in a a of the Federal Commissioner Tells Federal Attorney He's Exploiting Himself at Others' Expense. Charges that U. S.

Attorney Leroy W. Ross was attempting "to usurp the power" of the United States Commissioners in the Brooklyn Judicial district and to eliminute them as a branch of the Judiciary were made In a letter sent to him by Commissioner Henry D. Barm oro yesterday. Barmore, who, with Commissioner James H. McCabe, refused to attend a conference of the Commissioners with Ross lost Friday, at which it was agreed to have no hearings except with the agreement of the Assistant U.

S. Attorney in charge, scored the United States. Attorney for representing himself as "supreme in the administration of justice" in the district, and charged that his attempt to reduce tho commissioners- power was "another step in your deliberate plan to exploit yourseir in ine public press at the expense of others." Threatens to Cut Off Fees, Tho letter was in answer to one sent to Barmore and McCabe by Ross after Friday's conference, proposing that they agree that hereafter defendants in liquor and other Federal law rases shall be arraigned before a Commissioner, but then sent up for trial before the District Court on any information filed by the- U. S. Attor ney, without a preliminary Commis sioner's hearing.

In case of their re fusal to agree to this, Ross had threatened tbiil- bo u-nttlrl m-it bring arraignments before the In surgent Commissioners, thus entirely cutting off their fees. Commissioner McCabe said last night that he had not yet received Ross's letter, but would comment on it later when he did. he added, "I stand by my I know my duties as a Commissioner of the United Stutes District Court and will continue to perform them as hitherto without advice from the Federal attorney's office." Barmore's letter reads in part: Jiarmoiv'8 Ictter. "I did not meet you as suggested, for the reason that it does not appear that the conference was to be held In the presence of Judges Chatfield and Garvin, who are our superiors, and for the further reason that you seemed to have already decided what course you had intended to pursue. Furthermore, although you state that you have consulted with the District Judges, this part of your letter is meaningless ber cause you leave it open to conjecture as to their attitude in the matter.

"In this connection, permit me to advise you that I thoroughly resent your published interviews, wherein you seek to make it appear that the United States Commissioners are of no consequence, and that you are supreme in the administration of Justice in this Federal district. It seems necessary to remind you that the U. S. Commissioners, the appointees of the District Court, acting as Federal magistrates, have duties and responsibilities no les grave and important than your own. It ill becomes any Federal official to usurp the power of or to attempt in eliminate a branch of the Judlclarv, which has for many years been an ariil of the United States courts throughout the land In the administration of Jus, tlce and whose function of giving pre-, liminary hearings has been Ion recog.

nized by the District and Appellatnj courts. Commissioner Barmore then cited a decision by the Circuit Court of Appeals on this point, and confined: "This office was created expressly to relieve the courts of many duties, particularly the disposal of matters where no conviction can be had, thereby conserving the time of the courts and Juries for cases of gTeat public niportjince. for example, profiteering in food and coal, "If you had familiarized yourself with conditions, you would be awara that almost Invariably where a commissioner has dismissed a case after a hearing and the defendant has later stood trial on an information filed by you, on the identical facts. th re sult has been a dismissal or acquittal. iuu biiuuiu, inereiore, De in a position to advise the present Attorney General, in answer to his circular, that it is not practicable in this district adopt the proposed procedure of filing an information in the first Instance, as to oo so, rntner than expedite the disposal of the criminal calendar, would encumber it with cases which should never require the attention of the Dls-' trlet Court; and furthermore, that to do so, would place the entire burden on the Federal Judges and deprive them of the assistance of the commissioners." Hearings Wasteful, Ross Replies.

In reply to this Mr. Ross said last night that the practice of holding hearings was a wasteful one in time and effort, and that he had attempted to aoousn it witn a view to efficiency in the prosecution of Federal cases. He said "Barmore must be slightly peeved. I may comment on his broadside against me personally with the observation that he is a rather young commissioner, at least in point of service. The suggestion that the liquor case hearings before commissioners bo eliminated was promulgated by tho department officials In Washington as the result of a request by the prohibition enforcement office.

Judges Chatfield nnd Garvin tola me that there was nothing to do but follow-out the suggestion. When 1 laid. matter before Commissioners Mc- Goldrick, Rasquln and Hennessey they were convinced of its wisdom. and had no fault to find. Commis sioners Barmore and McCabe did not appear at the conference.

I suppose I will hear from McCabe, too. "Saves Lawyers' Fees." "The elimination of hearings in liquor cases before commissioners not only saves defendants from making many unnecessary trips to the Federal Building, but also saves them lawyers' fees and enables them to get their day In court moro quickly. It also eliminates the necessity of having the all too few Prohibition enforcement neents hanging around the Federal Building when they ought to be in the field and, incidentally, it saves the Government the commissioner's fees, although that is a small item. Any schoolboy can tell whether there is a primn facie case; against a defendant, and why run a man through a hearing when it is known In the beginning he must bo held for trial? "The hearing practice has used up valuable time of assistants of our office, who must be present at such hearings. Tho work on which so much time has been used up by so ninny persons seems to have been useless.

It Is an Interesting fact that In this district the district court calendar of liquor cases Is right up to date. We have less thun a dozen cases now hanging fire thut are mora than, two weeks old. "The United States Commissioners still will be asked to fix bail or to discharge persona arrested on hopeless cases, nnd it would be tough situation if they refused to do that because they could not get a a day for it."

Li it 1 1 vitv suggestion that Great Britain's war debt to the United States be written off has come from British sources, member of the Senate Foreign Re latlons Committee said today after Secretary Houston had been closeted with the committee for 2 hours dls cussing the status-of American Government foreign loans. Committee members said Mr.

Houston had confirmed that the British Government had made a formal pro posal to cancel the debt and that the Treasury Department had refused. First Intimation that such a proposal had been made as given by J. A us ten Chamberlain, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, in a recent address In England. Some Senators said the course of Secretary Houston In dealing with such suggestions had been "eminent- ly satisfactory. Mr.

Houston was said to have reiterated that the only course open to him was to follow the law authorizing the Treasury Department to exchange the present allied certificates of indebtedness for long term notes. The Secretary read a long prepared statement to the committee detailing all pnvments to the Allies and the present statu of the loans. At his request no part of this was made public, but it was said to have been substantially that given by him recently to the Senate Judiciary Committee. WESTBDRY WOMAN HELD AS SHOPLIFTER Mrs. L.

Maud Benedict Accused by Store Detective-Gets Bail A handsomely dressed woman of 30 who described herself as Mrs. L. Maud Benedict, of Wcstbury, L. was ar rested late yesterday afternoon in the store of Abraham charged with shoplifting. The arrest was made by Detective Kennu, of Jhe Adams st.

station, ho was called in to the store by Detective Margaret McEntee, of the store forces. Miss McEntee had been observing the actions of the woman for some time. She swore before Magistrate t'eismar, in the Night Court last night, that the woman had stolen property valued in all nl $13.28, which included three pairs of stockings, lour pairs of sox, a pair of gloves, a scarf, seven dress ornaments and tour handker chiefs. But there were a number of valentines which were not Included Miss McEntee said, In her general alti- davlt. In fact It was the incident of the valentines that made Mrs.

Benedict distinctive as a shoplifter, in the eyes of miss aicKntee. She had watched the woman selecting some very fine samples ot the valentine maker art. Having tucked away the stockings and the sox, and the gloves and the ornaments in a rather Capacious handbag, the woman proceeded With her valentines to the place where she could get postage stamps. These she bought. Then she went Into the women's waiting and lounging room and calmly addressed the envelopes.

Miss McEntee followed her until she had mailed them, and then went with her to the street, where she stopped her, and explained that she was. "wanted at the superintendent's office." The hearing in the case was' postponed, and in the meanwhile the prisoner was released on bail, pending her examination on Tuesday night.

ami President for Instance, there were two cases of raises within the last few weeks. Both foliowed the. removal of former tenants. When the new tenants came in to one place, they were asked and paid $60 for five rooms, a jump ot room over what the previous occupant had paid. In the other case the rate was jumip.ed from $72 to $80, under similar circumstances.

Over in the Park Slope section an old tenant moved out. He had been paying $60, which Included an Increase of 25 percent under the tlrst rent laws. When the new tenant came in, he had to pay $80. The subject of increased rentals, despite the laws, and the problem of supplying a remedy are being made special studies just now by Senator Charles C. Lockwood.

chairman, and the other members of the special committee of the Legislature that investigated building. Senaor Lockwood said yesterday that he was not prepared to make a statement yet, but would very soon. It was hinted that some of the things it would set forth would be surprising. Experts have reckoned that the city Is more than five years behind in its building. It is claimed that the breaking up of the.

building rinss, and consequent reduction of material and labor prices the reduction in the latter being largely the result of squeezing out the irraft and not cutting wages has done something to encourage building, but It has not started any big building booms. The money market is described ns still "tight." sources of money still refusing to loan up to the percentage of final value uiui gov t-rnprl lif-forn I hp war. It is stated by builders that none of the proposed remedies can have mate, rial effect on the renting market for a number of years.
