MEANS ASKS TODD'S REMOVAL IN CASE Washington, June 11 Removal of Hiram C. special usiistant to the Attorney General, ns prosecutor In the prohibition cases nsalnst Gaston Means In New York was asked today of Acting Attorney General a HYLAN'S CHARGES OF SUBWAY GRAB Brands Statement That He Controls Cranford Construction Co. as False.

Charging Mayor Hylan wi'h making fafse statements and dishonest Intimations, Frederick L. Cranford. chairman of tneChamber of Com merce transit committee, today replied to the attacks of the Mayor, who assailed the Brooklyn mm because he urged the city to dig aub-ways to relieve the transit congea-ttlon. Cranford said: "I have hesitated to enter Into a personal controversy, with Mayor Hylan. Hi ability to misstate con ditions and facts is so great and his willingness to do so Is so well recog nized that fair treatment at his hand is not to bo expected.

Self-respect, however, demands that I do not permit his misstatements concerning myself to go unrefuted. In a statement te the press. Issued May 30. Mayor Hylan made this ref, rei.ee to myself: "Mr. Cranford remembers unpleasantly my ve'o of the legislative grab of some I30.ooo.000 to 340.000,000, which wouid have permitted him.

as chief beneficiary, to rake in extra allowances f-r subway construction affected by war "I waa not and could not have been a beneficiary in any mannr on the occasion referred to by Mayor Hylan. He should have, known that his statement was completely false. He had an opportunity to correct In a voluntary manner th.it libelous ut terance. When he did not do so at the end of the week. I sent to Mayor Hylan a letter In which hi attention was called to hi misstatement and in which he was requested to make due correction.

Instead of doing that, last Friday in another statement ho charged that I owned or am In control of the Crar.ford Con struction Company, one of the com panies now suing the city In con nection with a subway contract. Refuse Avian's Statement. "A Hi Honor the Mavor well knows. I do not control tho Cranford Construction Company, nor am I connected with it in any way. It is true that I had one of the subway contracts, but aa Mayor Hylan also kmows my worR wm ao far completed that I did not experience the difficulties encountered hv mhi- during the war.

Mayor Hylan knows that no claim upon the city waa made by me in connection with my Hylan knows that final payment were mid. the contract price and that a complete receipt waa given by me to the city. The attempt to intimate anything to the contrary la as dishonest aa it is unfair. "I have been for 20 yeara almost continuously engaged in subway construction for th City xt New York. I had the honor of being appointed In 1817 chairman of a committee of all subway contractor then of vork upon the dual subway.

Those contractors were struggling under the difficultle of Increased cost of labor and material, which had resulted from the war and which were, not contemplated when the conlracta were entered into. Legislation waa had permitting the city to help in that emergency. Mayor Hylan approved and tgned that legislation. Then, under the authority of the Board of Estimate and the Public Service Commission, a promise wa made to the contractors that if they would pay the increased wages demanded by labor and get the necessary material to conclude their work, the city would make cer-tain increased payments. Contracts; Completed.

"Under that promlae, all of the twenty-eight contract hut two were completed. Two contractors were bankrupted by their werk. But after the contractors had performed their worK in accordance with the promises made, the Mayor repudiated the agreement which th city entered into. That repudiation brought other contractors to the verge of bankruptcy. Mayor Hylan is entitled to all of the satisfaction he ran derive from the distress which hi unfair actions have brought upon honest aien.

Ho should not, however, mls inform the public In regard to myself. As I have said before, my work waa concluded before the in-creased prices of labor and material could greatly distress me. I made no claim for increased payment. It was my great pleasure to give to the city a receipt for payment at the contract prices. All of this Mayor Hylan knows.

I suppose, however, it is too much to expect him to have tho decency to correct his widely broadcast inlsstatementa." 100 ARE SUMMONED FOR BARING JURY Merchants, Broken Among First Talesmen.

GERMANY PROTESTS TO LEAGUE AGAINST FRENCH IN SAARE Geneva, Switzerland, June 11 (By the Associated Prajs) Germany, has protested to the League of Nations against the presence of French troops in the Sarre Valley, the Ger-man coal region, in which France waa given by the Treaty of Versailles the exclusive rights of coal mine exploitation for 15 years. Sir Eric Drummon.

General Secre. tary of the League, laid the German note embodying thl protest before tne round! of the League at the cpening session of that body today. Germany complains that the con. tinued presence of the Frenclj forces win FAt-reise an umoriunaie moral influence upon the plebiscite which will decide the future of the Sarre territory at the end of the 15-year period. The district now Is under League of Nations administration.

The future plebiscite will decide whether here shall be maintenance of the rule set up by the Versailles Treaty, union with France or union with Germany. The French had argued, says the Berlin note, that it was the duty of the French troops to protect the coal mines, as the property of Fiance, but this, In the German view. Is a violation of the Treaty of Versailles. Furthermore, if the French Government is permitted to protect the French mines with French troops, Germany is equally entitled to claim, she argues, that the property of the German Reich and of the German State to which the Sarre Basin belong namely the railways, forests and administrative buildings should be protected by German troops. Germany requests that the B'rench occupation be brought to an end and that a local gendarmerie be constituted to take the place of the French forces in police duty.

The note asks the Council to fix at once the date for the withdrawal of the French troops. The council today postponed consideration of the note until the August session, but It adopted a resolution expressing satisfaction v.ith the Sarre Governing Commission for having increased the gendarmerie according to the wishes of the Council.
