Women Voters- Want Short Skirts to Stay 'K Hartford, Conn, 14. A resolution praising short skirts and condemning alleged attempts to foist" long skirts and tight waists upon women was before the Convention of the Connecticut League of Women voters hers today. The resolution, was introduced by Mrs. Ruth, M. Dadourlan, who asserted that the new "feminine" styles will "produce a psychology adverse to the further progress of women." It was indicated the resolutions committee would report the reao lutlon unfavorably, but the brisk, energetic Mrs.

Dadourlan was expected to carry her fight to. th 1 floor of the convention. Several city departments Were considerably upset yesterday after somebody phoned the Board of Health, which in turn notified the Tenement House Department, and the tatter tn turn communiated with the Building Bureau, to the effect that an almost complete Noah's Ark was housed on the ground noor, planned for store use, of a three-family tenement at 4701 New Utrecht ave. Each movement of a half a dosen elephants, three camels, one or two Hons and a halt dosen ponies threatened to sink the floor and throw the Iron columns which sup port the upper stories out of joint, the informant said. For a little while It seemed an official puszle as to what authority was best fitted to grapple with tho situation.

nobody with official badges apparently being qualified, or at least lnbued with a disposition to beard the Hons and their playmates in their den. Finally, however. It was recalled that Unsafe Building Inspector Thomas McGowan, of Supt. Fiana-, gan's branch of the Municipal Government, anti dating his 46 years service in the city employ, had been an animal trainer, or something like It, in Barnum's old museum, at Broadway and Ann st. He was sum moned for the task.

He said he could get results, and, loaded with peanuts, he went to the building. The report was confirmed. The animals, among wnicn were SHIM REQUESTED Sailing Lists of Ships Made To Expedite Christmas Mailing Wamine to Brooklyn residents contemplating sending let ters, cards and packages to foreign countries for delivery at Christmas to prepare now was issued today by Postmaster Albert Firmin.

With the aid of his peanuts. Inspector McGowan got along all right with the elephants, and- the ponies and the camels were no hindrance to the official invasion. But Mr. and Mrs. Lion, and their lusty offspring, showed a decided objection to the proposed eviction.

The latter were so positive In their disrespect that Mr. McGowan, who said he had forgotten just what he used to do to appease kings of the Jungle tn his younger days, backed out of the premises and went In search of the owner of the building, Oscar Fiahback, of 1160 47th who explained that he had leased the store for an overnight lodging place for the animals to a circus man. who was giving an exhibition at a near-by playhouse. "Well," McGowan told him, 'Til give you just 16 minutes to coax your guests out of tne place. If the floor holds in the meantime you'll be in luck.

Why It hasn't fallen In before now la a mystery. Get busy." While Flshback went sea re or the circus man he said he himself didn't know enough about lions to trust them McGowan turned over further proceedings to the captain of the Parkville police station, and it looks now as if the circus man pets are likely to be homeless during their off the stage hours for the rest of their week's engagement.

Declaring that the County Court was permeated with "unconscious prejudice" against his client, Edward J. Reilly, attorney for John Man-none, of 414 Henry Indicted on a charge of robbery in the first degree, today moved before Supreme Court Justice Rlegelmann for a transfer of the trial from the County Court to the Supreme Court. Mannone was arrested on Oct- 19 as an alleged participant In the hold-up of Thomas Defflno's barber shop at 69 Summit st, during which Patrolman Charles Sauer was fatally shot. It convicted, he faces, under a recent amendment to the Baumes law, 26 years to life in prison.

According to Assistant District Attorney Harry Walsh Mannone entered the barber shop accompanied by Jack Singer and a third man. all armed with guns, and held up Defflno, his brother and several customers. When Patrolman Sauer arrived with Sergt. McCarthy, they placed Mannone and Singer under arrest but the third man escaped Into a hallway, and In the exchange of shots that followed, Sauer was killed. In making his motion.

Mr. Reilly maintained that that court was subject to "unconscious prejudice which tends to a belief in any sympathy for the Police Department, one of whose members was killed In the hold-up." Mannone, he declared, was not responsible for the killing, bo that any Jury that tried him should be carefully instructed as to the extent to which evidence Intending to Implicate him should be permitted. In support of his petition. Reilly declared when Mannone was arraigned In the County Court efforts were made "to coerce him to plead guilty," and that the police, animated by "a spirit of revenge," had tried to extort a confession from him. Mr.

Walsh, In opposing the motion, said the case was one of simple robbery and that Mannone, when questioned, had admitted going to the barber shop with the other men and that he had a gun. Reilly denied this. Justice Relgelmann reserved decision.

Johnson's 160.000 suit for alleged malicious prosecution against Moore and for alleged malicious prosecution and false arrest against Ferrand and former Prohibition Agent Joseph Mattes. Judge Gloston yesterday dismissed the complaint as to Marshal Moore's sons; Wlnfleld and Cyrus, and dismissed the complaint of false arrest as to Moore.

a Johnson asserts damages for his arrest on April 14, 1928. whne, as custodian of the Manor Brewery, Four Corners, S. he was taken prisoner when Ferrand and Mattes arrested the two men who were leaving the plant with three barrels of beer. After Thomas A. Dempsey, chief celrk of the City Magistrate's Court, testified there is no night court In State Island, so the prisoners could not be arraigned the night of their arrest Marshal Moore took the stand.

He said Samuel Hlrschberg, West New York, N. lawyer; counsel for John J. Dunn, lessee of the brewery, told him trucklosds of beer were being taken from the plant and served notice that his client, Dunn, would go hold the Government re sponsible. Moore said Ferrand and Mattes and a number of other deputies set a watch on the brewery. Mattes was picked because he was capable and honest, Moore said.

He admitted under cross-examination that his son. Winnie Moore, was on the Government payroll for several weeks as custodian of the place. Marshal Moore also admitted, after an Assistant United States Attorney's objection was overruled, that Mattes was a Republican worker In the 13th A. of which he, Moore, is leader. forth his chest, asserted, rather than admitted, in reply to a question, that he "certainly" Is tht leader of the 13th Ferrand testified It was impossible to get ball for the men at night, as there was no court open.

Mattes, Johnson and also Arthur Stenger and Adolph Deynser. the latter being the two men caught removing beer from the plant at the time of the arrest, all have testified that Ferrand went with the party to the New Dorp police station. Far-rand Insisted today that they were all mistaken, that he did not go to the station, but stayed at the brewery with Wlnfleld Moore to guard it. He admitted that when Johnson had reported at the Marshal's office from time to time, he carried with him a black leather bag. presumably with his lunch In it.

The bag was found In the carriage house at the brewery at the time of the raid, and It was figured In vague questions from time to time. RYAN ASSAILS CRITICS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS Calls Them "Busybodies" and "Back Fence Talkers." "Busybodies" was the term used by President George J. Ryan, of the Board of Education, yesterday. In referring to civic heads and teacher leaders who during the recent political campaign attacked the school system. In a radio talk on "Open School Week," delivered over WOR.

Mr. Ryan designated these detractors as "talkers over the back fence." Any one desiring proof that these accusations are without a grain of truth, he said, should this week visit the schools and determine existing conditions for himself. "About a week ago we emerged from a period during which uninformed persons, seeking to further their own political fortunes, undertook to find fault with the school system. Busybodies and talkers over the back fence of educational affairs were actually reckless enough to attempt to undermine confidence In our schools. Of course they were laughed at, as they should have been." WANTS CITY "OBSERVERS" Thcmas Sees Duty of Minority in Munioipsl Government.

Tho granting of access to the records of Important city departments to "unofficial observers" appointed by Mayor Walker from lists sub- milted to him by the Socialist and Republican Parties, was suggested Mr. Thomas made his suggestion In a letter to the Citizens' Union in which he asked that body to give Its reaction to his proposals. While the majority party in the minority parties also have "rights and duties," Mr. Thomas said. At present, access to the facts of governmental procedure is not provided for, and without these facts intelligent and constructive criticism Is im-posslble, he declared.

The observers which Mr. Thomas proposes the Mayor appoint "would have no responsibility for the conduct of the department in question but should be guaranteed access to the facts on the current conduct of the department" Mr. Thomas said he Intends to discuss his proposal at the forum of the Rand School. 7 East 16th Manhattan, Saturday afternoon, Nov. 21.

The Board of Estimate laid over for four weeks approval of a short spur of the Independent subway system In Queens connecting- Hillside ave. with queens because of the continu ation of argument between two sections of Queens as to which route the line should follow. Mayor Walker clearly Indicated that he would back John H.

Delaney. chairman of the Board of Transpor tation in placing this spur under Van Wyck blvd. He consented to the adjournment, howover, to give Maurice Hotchner, counsel for the property owners, who sought to have the subway go under Sutphln blvd. as the alternative route, a further opportunity to present their views. More than 600 people, many of them women and children, attended the meeting on one side or other of this Issue.

The Mayor was Impatient at tha continual rustling and noise by these delegations, and asked them to stay home In the future. The Van Wyck blvd line, which Is approved by John H. Delaney. chairman of the Board of Transportation, is to be 2.3 miles long, and Is estimated to cost (6,600,000. The route is designed to start at 127th st.

and Hillside ave. and continue along Van Wyck blvd. to Rock-away blvd. An express station Is planned for Hillside ave. and 137th st.

The alternate route proposed would extend from Queens blvd. through Sutphln blvd. to the Long Island Railroad station at Archer pi. According to Mr. Coyle, the residents of Richmond Hill.

Dunton. Westbrldge. South Ozone Park and Van Slclen Manor, with a total population of 100.000, will Insist upon the Van Wyck blvd. route. A short hearing upon the relative merits of the two routes was held before the Board of Estimate three weeks ago and at that time the Board of Transportation flatly came out for the Van Wyck blvd.

route. Subsequent discussion between local organizations and city authorities did not change the Board's attitude. The Sutphln blvd. delegation claimed that the city was bound to uunairuct tne suuway tuuiig meir route because the original map for the Queens subway lines designated Sutphln blvd. as the location.

They urged that homes had been constructed and real estate had been de veloped upon the assumption that a subway eventually would come there. PRINCE TAKAMATSU WILL VISIT IN U. S. Brother of Japan's Emperor Plans Voyage Next Year. Toklo, Nov.
