CRAIG BRANDED "OBSTRUCTIONIST BY MAYOR HYLAN (Continued from Page 1.) alone, and that Mark Wolff was the former $2,700 a year city accountfant Craig referred to in the meeting as now retained by the city an expert accountant at $100,000 a year.

The statement charged that this wast expenditure for experts by the Counsel's office a violation of the administralion's campaign pledge of 1917 to end the "Million Dollar Expert Patronage Bonanza and return the experts to their own home towns." Craig pointed out. that Wolff was civil service appointee when a a year accountant in the Corporation Counsel's office and conbainued: "All experts engaged were free from civil service examination, in view of the comparative inactivity in the outside accounting field a staff of qualified accountants might have been organized by the city. Wide Territory Drawn On. "Many of the experts emploved were from outside the State." said the Controller's statement. "Boston.

Pittsburg, Jersey City and Montclair, N. Philadelphia, Paterson, N. Memphis, Allentown, Chicago and Springfield, are some of the cities that were drawn upon to furnish experts in matters affecting New York City. "One expert' at present employed at a fancy salary was engaged to study and report upon the Controller's plans for the improvement of Riverside Drive. This man, employed at the direction of Mayor Hylan, is also working for the Brooklyn City Railroad Company.

He has also been engaged by the New York Central Railroad interests. His qualifications must have had a peculiar appeal to the Mayor in connection with the West Side improvement. Possibly the Mayor imagined he would be entirely disinterested. "But the one case in which honest and able experts should have been employed, namely, the proposed exchange of the, bed of Park ave. in return for balcony on the east side of the Grand Central Terminal from the New York Central Railroad, was by the absence of special experts.

Neither real estate experts, nor traffic expehts nor special counsel were retained for that job." The Controller closed his statement on "experts" with a formal notification that in their employment liabilities were incurred in 1923 in excess of the amount available therefore. violation of Section 1542 of the Charter." Porter Explains Maj. Buck's Connection With B. C. R.

R. In reference to Controller Craig's statement that "among the experts retained at fancy salaries by the City of New York was a man ern'ployed at the direction of Mayor Hylan to study and report upon the Controller's plan for improvements to the Riverside Drive, who was also working for the Brooklyn City Railroad Company," H. Hobart Porter, president of the latter company, stated that the Controller doubtless referred to Maj. R. S.

Buck, at one time prominently identified with the Bridge Department of the City of New York in the design and construction of the Queensboro Bridge. "Maj. Buck, because of his nationneer," Porter, "was rerecognized, ability as an engitained by the Brooklyn City Railroad Company to make some special investigations in connection with the so-called "construction suit" of the B.

Buck is not connected with the operations of the railroad a company, was doubtless retained by the City of New York for the same reason that prompted his retention by his unusual experience and qualifications."

THROUGH TROLLEY CARS TO FREEPORT NOW, VIA JAMAICA Lines of L.

I. Electric and L. I. Traction Co's Used Under Combined Receivership. Through service over the Long Island Electric and Long Island Traction Company tracks, via Jamaica Junction, from Jamaica to Freeport was installed this morning.

Announcement of the new service was made by General Manager E. les Roberts. Long Island Electric recently went into receivership. Gen. Lincoln C.

Andrews, already receiver of the Long Island Traction, was made receiver of the electric, and it is the combined management thus effected that made possible the joint service announced today. Mr. Roberts also called attention to the fact that on last Monday morning an increase of 33 percent in the service over the Long Island Electric between Washington Jamaica, and Hempstead and Jericho Turnpikes, had been effected. The headway between cars from 6 o'clock in the morning until 9 at night is now redueed to 5 minutes. Explaining the new south shore through service, Mr.

Roberts said: "Cars leave Jamaica on the hour and the half hour, running via New York following the Far Rockaway route to Jamaica Junction, then turning east and without change of cars take passengers to Rosedale, Clear Stream, Valley Stream, Lynbrook. Rockville Centre, Oceanside, Baldwin and Freeport. "This is the first time that there has been through direct trolley service between these important towns of Nassau County and Jamaica, which is their natural business and amusement center, and it is believed that this service will be most acceptable to all these communities."

Jean Patou, couturier extraordinaire de Paris, ponders on the ancient question: "What'll I M. Patou is here on a mission.

Across the sea from La Belle Paree he came to search for three of the most beautiful and most expuisite flowers of American womanhood to transplant to his Paris establishment as mannequins and inspirations. For two days, Thursday and Friday, M. Patou and a blue ribbon jury have held sessions at the RitzCarlton Hotel while scores of wouldbe "inspirations" paraded before the critics. The first day did not arouse much enthusiasm. There was beauty, to be sure, but not quite enough -not enough alluring grace, charm, poise, smartness and distingue! But the second day! Ah! even the great Patou himself, connoisseur that he is, was unprepared for the deluge of beauty which rolled into the Ritz in answer to his call.

There were school girls, office girls, girls who had aspired to motion pictures, giddy girls and flappers, whitehaired matrons and many others. One of them, Clothilde Hyde, gave her age as 13 and confessed that she was playing hookey from school. Quite. the other extreme was woman who gave her age as 51 and who said she thought M. Patou might be able to use a woman of more mature years with beautiful white hair.

From this assortment 80 inspirations were harvested and the others were returned to the gardens and bowers. But 80 were entirely too and a his jury blue-penciled the crop many. Hours passed while M. Patou down to 40, to 20, to 10, to 6. But those six! Ah! Such beauty, such grace! And how to select the three that are to bloom in the Paris salon? That was the problem.

M. Patou was stumped. So are Mme. Edna Woolman Chase, Mile. Elsie de Wolfe Benito, famous Spanish artist, and Edward Steichen, photographer of beautiful women, all of whom comprise the jury which 18 attempting to aid M.

Something must be done and Patou must do it. But how? "Je ne sais sighs Patou. So there the matter rests until a verdict is handed down on Monday. And rapid are the heartbeats of Miles. Doris Freeman, Mary Conrad.

GLEN COVE RAILROAD STOPS AT MIDNIGHT; TEMPORARY BUSSES Permanent Franchise Being Drawn Up-To Be Awarded to Lowest Bidder. (Special to The Eagle.) Glen Cove. L. Nov. 15 No decision was reached by the City Council last night on the awarding of a franchise for a bus line to replace the trolley service of the Glen Cove Railroad, which is to suspend operations tonight at midnight.

It was announced at the meeting, however, that a temporary permit will be issued to Edward Duprey, who is now operating a bus between Glen Cove and Locust Valley. The permit will enable him to run three busses from the Glen st. station, Glen Cove, to the landing--a run of about three miles. In the meantime City Attorney Harrold is drawing, up 8 franchise for the city which will be awarded to the lowest bidder. So far Duprey, with his 5-cent fare, has been regarded as the one who will get It.

Look to Your Office Staff, $1,200 Clerk Tells Hylan By a $1,200 CITY CLERK. Mayor Hylan's newly appointed Survey Committee, which is to cast a drag net over the hundred odd municipal departments for the purpose of hauling into public view the incumbents of unnecessary positions who owe their places to what the Mayor himself characterizes as "political wire-pulling," might begin right here in the City Hall by asking Mr. Hylan if he could not just as well do without the services of his $9,000 a year "assistant." It seems to me that the Mayor, even without his assistant, has a topheavy office force, which could be cut in half without doing any injury to the public service. Nobody knows what the assistant does to earn 000 a year. And what about the Director of the Budget? He, too, gets a fat salary, which in my humble opinion is an unnecessary expenditure.

The work of making up the budget until this year has always been satisfactorily performed under the supervision of the secretary of the Board of Estimate, who, with his large staff, aided by experts from the Finance Department, never failed to have the budget ready in time. Questions "Scientific" Budget. How much more did it cost to prepare the 1925 budget than that for the current year? Is the new budget more "scientific" and was it put together in less time than the 1924 budget? Was there any saving to the taxpayer and will the Survey Committee take into consideration the quication whether the position of budget director is a necessary one? If Mayor Hylan really means business as to the abolishment of all at sinecures in the city departments, will he direct his Survey Committee not to neglect the City Chamberlain's office? As every one knows, the position of of City Chamberlain, which carries with it a salary of $12.000 a year, is purely decorative and has always been looked upon as a reward for political work done on behalf of the incoming Mayor. The City Chamberlain also has HYLAN SCOLDS B.M.T., ECKER AND I.R.T. ALL IN ONE RADIO TALK Hits State Commerce Chamber Because It Asks Him to Dig Subways.

Mayor Hylan on the radio scolded Frederick H. Ecker, president of the N. Y. State Chamber of Commerce, last night because Mr. Ecker in a speech the night before called on Mr.

Hylan to dig subways. Also the Mayor took the opportunity to scold both the I. R. T. and the B.

M. T. He scolded the I. R. T.

on the basis of a charge that it had "600 cars in train formation available for use, but which were not used, and 190 other cars, not in train formation, but available for use, which were not used." He scolded the B. M. T. by repeating the many times answered charge that $4,500.000 disappeared in the reorganization of the B. M.

T. and that Gerhard M. Dahl, chairman of the directorate, and other members of the firm got $1,430,000. Mr. Ecker, who asked him to dig subways, the Mayor said, was vice president of the Metropolitan Life and the insurance companies of the city had owned traction stocks.

Mayor Hylan, however, did not in his talk explain to the people how happened that he permitted. the clared Illegal courts--busses operatiton of Scathe busses, dewith the emergency exits nailed ur and gasoline tanks inside the bodies of the cars, so that a fire in them would give the passengers little or no chance of escape. He did not plain anything about how one of these death -trap busses burned near Jamaica last week, seriously injuring 14 passengers. The Transit Commission has been almost daily calling upon the Mayor to abate this hazard to the traveling public. "Newspaper advertisements," said the Mayor, "by traction corporations, accusing the city administration of the faults of the traction operators; daily broadsides by individual members of the State Transit Commission, against who'n the Board of Estimate has preferred charges for neglect of duty, and scathing denun: ciations of the Mayor and the city administration by traction-controlled newspapers are all part of the most colossal of misrepresentation and vilification by -seeking traction manipulators that has ever been witnessed in the city of New York." The Mayor then credited to his Board of Transportation the accomplishment of putting through ar.

rangements to extend the 14th st.Eastern line as FL subway instead of an elevated, although agreement to this was negotiated by the Transit Commission and the B. M. T. months before the Transportation Board took office, and the Mayor delayed construction by refusing to accept the plan at the time. ARTIST PLEADS FOR BEAUTY INSTEAD OF JAZZ FURNITURE, Chicago.

Oct. 21-With the 1'0- sources for obtaining beautiful and harmonious things tenfold greater than those possessed by America's forefathers, "we nevertheless seem to have lost their sense of taste." Lionel Robertson, prominent artist and decorator, said in a recent lec. ture to students at the Chicago Art Institute. The art of living should have the most vital appeal to people, Mr. Robertson asserted, while the beauty in nature, a wish to be surrounded with harmonious things, to avoid the shoddy and the glaring in homea and in personal appearance is the surest way to build worthwhile character.

"Beautiful things will enrich our lives and give us beautiful thoughts," the speaker continued. "Yet in our homes, particularly in theh city, we find all in one room imitations of Oriental rugs with pronounced seams, yellow oak woodwork highly varnished, ivory walls with no pattern, taupe mohair -covered furniture, inverted bowls with indirect light, leaving no beautiful shadows, and stained glass shades on the table lamps. With such a conglomeration naturally goes Jazz music and the current theatrical reyues. "The individual should exert his own taste and not slavishly attempt to follow what 'others' are doing. The home furnishings should make for atmosphere.

Furniture in a room need not necessarily all be in one period, as it easily might become monotonous. Chinese decorations are extremely useful, for the Chinese are the greatest decorators the world has ever known." Drastic Advice to Overweights Alhambra, Oct. 21--Forest Ranger J. H.

Air Progress for Decade Forecast by British Expert London, Oct. 4-Fairly regular air transport service between England and the far-flung possessions of the British Empire ought to be accomplished within the next 10 years without serious financial expenditure, in the opinion of Air Vice Marshal Sir W.

Another airship service should be flying at least once a week the Cape of Good Hope by way West Africa in five and a half days. Airships should certainly be crossing the Atlantic regularly and it was to be hoped that at least one British line would be plying between Canada and England, taking about two and onehalf days.

Today the Blue and White renews relations with the future generals in the latter's stadium. The cohorts of the Morningside Heights institution are wondering whether history will repeat itself.

A quarter of a century ago Columbia emerged victorioue, 16 to 0. The Army has a powerful aggre. gation that has found its real stride. This was demonstrated when the cadets came from behind and played Yale to a draw. Columbia had been giving a good account of itself until it ran afoul of Cornell, and suffered an unexpected setback.

The decision of the State Hospital Commission to erect a Psychiatric Institute and Hospital at the site of Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center to be developed at 165th st. and Broadway, Manhattan, was hailed today by sociologists and medical men, as the most important step yet taken in the State for combatting mental disease.

It is expected that the State will expend a least $1,500,000 on the psychiatric building. A building such as that now planned has been an objective of the State Hospital Commission for almost 20 years, and has now been made possible by the tion of a portion of the Medical Center site. Dr. Thomas W. Salmon, professor of psychiatry at Columbia Univertity, expressed the opinion that thie close physical association between the State of New York and a great university and general hospital will prove to be the opening gun of the most effective attack ever conducted against mental disease.

Dr. Salmon is a mental leading diseases. authority in this country, on "As the result of the action taken thy and the State Hospital Commission the Joint Administrative Board of Columbia University and Presbyterian Hospital," Dr. Salmon said. "the campaign against mental disease will, for the first time, be proportionate to the effect of insanity upon public welfare." A $10.000,000 building has been planned for the Columbia University School of' Medicine and the Presbyterian General Hospital as the nueleus.

Other institutions which wi'l be added are a neurological institute, maternity, children's, ear, nose and throat hospitals, dental, nursing and public health schools. When completed the Medical Center will represent an investment of at least $30 000.000 and will be the most complete and largest in the world. It is possible that the first building of the Medical Center, that to be oecupied jointly by Columbia University School of Medicine and Presbyterian Hospital, will be ready for occupancy by the fall of 1926 if the funds are provided as expected. Columbia University has the $3.000,000 necessary for its share of the buildling, and Presbyterian Hospital is enraising $4,500,000 of the $7.000.000 it needs. WEATHER FORECAST Unsettled.
