Jacob A. Livingston was called a "sleeping leader, inefficient and willing to make of the public service a trading mark to reward jetty satellites for the purpose their respective district leaderships." The veteran leader's answer was: "Nothing to say, It isn't worth while answering such stuff.

I am of the opinion that Stein is rather like his charges hardly worth while." Mr. Stein today said that enrolled Republicans from each of the 23 Assembly Districts were present at the meeting. He added that it was his intention to "clean house" and to "rejuvenate the executive com mittee."

The boys are Patrick O'Malley, 24 Jefferson Joseph McHenry, 429 and James Gibbons, 797 Putnam ave. O'Malley and McHenry are 15 and Gibbons 14, but not even their long trousers could give them the appearance of the hardened adventurers they sought to be. Had $267 in Cash and a Gun.

They had between them $267 in cash, the remains of $310 which one of them had "borrowed" from his father without the latter's edge. They also had a .45 caliber revolver one of the largest and oldest the police had ever seen- but no cartridges. They were a little hazy as to what they intended to do with the gun, except that they didn't want to kill anybudy but Indians. They started very suddenly on their adventure. Late last night they appeared at a ticket window in the Grand Central and asked: "How far can three people get at the cheapest rates for $276? Can we get Dallas, Texas?" The ticket agent, who lost his ambitions to be a cowboy or Indian fighter a good many years ago, asked them a few questions and then called Special Officer Kennedy of the Grand Central police.

Kennedy took the boys to the E. 51st st. station and lined them up before Lieutenant Marxhausen. Then the searched them and brought forth their young cannon, which he laid carefully on the desk. "Where did you get that revolver- from Stuyvesant?" demanded the lieutenant Doom of the "Pork Barrel" In Redrafted House Bill For New Public Buildings Eagle Bureau, 901 Colorado Building.

By JOHN BILLINGS JR. Washington, Jan. 20 If this Congress succeeds in passing the new public buildings bill which is now being redrafted House Public Buildings Committee, following its by Secretary barrel" Mellon of "pork legislation will be rolled out of the Capltol for all time. This measure, sponsored by Representative Elliott of Indiana, is revolutionary in character, for it deprives Congress of its right to dictate where and how publie buildings shall be erected and passes. full authority over to the Treasury and Postoffice Departments.

Once enacted, this proposal would mark the final burial of the tradition of Congressional log-rolling to put up Government structures here, there and everywhere. There has been no public buildings bill passed for 14 years. In the old days such an omnibus bill was a signal for every Congressman to jump aboard and get some of the for his district. Then came the war, when interest was centered in other directions, followed by an economy wave, with the result that a real emergency exists in some 159 cities, according to Treasury figures. for the improvement and construeton of public buildings.

This Elliott bill is the answer to this emergency a new answer shorn of all "pork." The features of the bill are simplicity itself. Authorization is given for a Government building program extending over a six-year period, with a total expenditure of 000. The anual expenditure would be $25,000,000. Of the total, $50,000,000 would be used to relieve Government housing conditions here in Washington and $100,000,000 for general construction and improvement work in the States. Podunk Out in the Cold.

But the measure does not say where or how this money is to be spent--it does not specify that POdunk is to get $50,000 for a new Postoffice and Wishwash the same MILLS WOULD BUILD $1,500,000 ROADS ON WILLIAMSBURG SPAN Commission Submits Plans for Two New Highways to Board of Estimate. Commissioner W. W. Mills of the Department of Plant and Structures today submitted to the Board of Estimate a plan for the construction of two additional roadways on the Willlamsburg Bridge at a cost of 000. Of this amount, the Commissioner said in his communication to the board, the department has in hand $181,217.

According to the Commissioner, the new roadway on the lower deck for westbound traffic would occupy the space where the trolley tracks used a by the 3d ave. railway system are now located. He said in a traffic count of one day in' October, 1919, the cars using these tracks carried a total of 53,383 passengers, while the number carried on the same day in 1924 was only 18,687. In 1920 th New York Railways Company, which had used the tracks in conjunction with the 3d ave. railway system, discontinued its operation of cars across the bridge.

The passenger traffic now using the 3d ave. cars could be accommodated by the municipal car lines, Mr. Mills said, and by transfer without additional fare under an agreement with the 3d ave. company, which he has already submitted to the Sinking Fund Board for approval. Commissioner Mills insists that it is absolutely necessary to proceed with this improvement in order to make the facilities of the Williamsburg Bridge equal the requirelieve ments the of congestion in Manhattan vehicular traffic and to reof Delancey st.

He added that south all the other bridges are congested. SYMPHONY PLAYERS DEMAND MORE PAY Musicians playing for symphony orchestras of the Philharmonic and the New York Symphony are asking an increase of $25 a week in their after next May. As the minipay mum pay of these men is now $60 a week, the increase demanded is slightly over 40 percent. The demand is made through the Associated Musicians of New York, Local 802, of the American Federation of Musicians. The Philharmonic will be formally notified tomorrow of the proposed increase and the management of the New York Symphony will be approached following its trip to Cuba in a few weeks.

The State Symphony Orchestra would not be affected, as by the concert instead of by the week, but thirteen of the foremost orchestras visiting this city would be, if the union insists on demanding an increase of $25 a week. The present symphony week consists of four rehersals and four concerts. Deficits of $50,000 to $250,000 each were reported by the dozen orchestras called together in this city a year ago. The aggregate annual loss reached more than $1,250,000. WALZ SUES HIS FATHER.

It simply authorizes this expenditure and turns over to the Treasury and Postoffice Departments the power to say where how this money should be used. It is exactly the same principle that is now being followed in the case of rivers and harbors authorizations and appropriations.

There the War Department engineers make the recommendations and execute 'them with the approval of Congress. But the "pork barrel" spirit is by no means dead yet in the House, in spite of the advanced Ideas of Mr. Elliott in dealing with this housing problem. In the Public Buildings Committee have been filed more than 300 bills calling for individual Postoffices throughout the United States. Under the old system they would all be bunched into one huge measure, and rushed through the House with a roar of approval from the "boys." Under this new system they will become.

waste paper and their Introducers will have to visit Mr. Mellon and convince him of the real necessity of such wholesale construction, Elliott Has Modern Views. When this bill was being framed in committee, Secretary Mellon wrote Mr. Elliott that the proposal had his approval and indicated that the President would likewise approve. Representative Langley of Kentucky, chairman of this committee, but now away from the Capitol pending an appeal of his conviction on a liquor conspiracy charge, was a great believer of the specific omnibus building bill which would "give all the boys a chance." Elliott, the acting chairman of the committee, has more modern views on the subject which will possibly revolutionize the whole practige of such government construction.

Recently in the Senate Smoot of Utah tried to bring up a building bill for Washington. It didn't last 10 minutes. Hungry Senators came streaming out of the cloakrooms with riders and amendments to satisfy the folks back home. The old "pork barrel" spirit is by no means dead, but the drive against it has set in in earnest. PROTEST AGAINST CONDUIT BOULEVARD LOCAL ASSESSMENT: Property Owners Find Friend in Guider -Another Hearing to Be Held.

A hundred or more irate property owners visited City Hall today to protest against what they call a "confiscatory" local assessment for the construction of the Conduit boulevard, which will run from Atlantic ave. and Logan street, Brooklyn, to Amityville at the Suffolk County line, a distance of about 30 miles. The angry delegation represented property in Brooklyn and Queens adjacent to the improvement. Their spokesman, Aldermen H. Thalberg, James J.

Morris and James Lenihan, among others, told the Board of Estimate's Committee on Assessments that proposed 79 percent levy all along the line of the improvement in the two boros would ruin the owners, most of whom were people in very moderate circumstances. Boro President Joseph Guider, who presided at the meeting of the committee, somewhat mollified the protestants by telling them that in his opinion the local assessment was much too heavy and that he would do what he could to get them relief. No action was taken in the matter. Another hearing will be held later, SAYS WIFE SPENDS TIME PREACHING ON CORNERS That his wife, Mrs. Lydia McKay, of 945 Manhattan devoted most of her time and attention to the Dupont' Street Mission and to preaching on street corners and neglected her home consequence, was the statement made to Justice Hagarty in Supreme Court by Richard F.

McKay, a steamfitter, of 77 Grand Maspeth. He was opposing her plea for alimony pending trial of her separation suit. Mrs. McKay said that her husband was cruel and unkind and that he treated her roughly and violently. She presented affidavits from her two grown sons, substantiating her story.

Decision was reserved. GO TO GERMANTOWN TO TAKE TESTIMONY Justice Hagarty in Supreme Court today directed that the testimony of Mr. and Mrs. Mandel Hirsch be taken in their home in Germantown, to be used as evidence in the suits for $100,000 brought by Mrs. Sadie Kivowitz of 1069 Eastern Parkway.

She is suing for the death of her husband, Max, and injuries to her young son, Harold. The suits are against Maurice Kivowitz, brother of her deceased husband, in whose motorcar Max and Harold were riding as guests at the time of the accident. GIRL IN LOVE TANGLE JUMPS OFF A DOCK; WATCHMAN IS HERO Other than to say that her lover "had gone back on her," neither Bella Posna, 17 years old, of 278 Division nor her parents would give any information today concerning reasons for the girl's attempt at suicide by jumping into the East River from the American Sugar Refinery pier, S. 11th at 3 o'clock this morning. William Schmidt of 46 S.

10th while engaged in his duties as night watchman on pier, saw Bella running toward the water's edge. He tried to catch her, but she, too quick for him, plunged into the water. Schmidt blew his police whistle, and then dove in after the girl. Patrolman Edward Herd and Detective Charles Hemensinger of Clymer st. station, who were in the neighborhood, heard Schmidt's whistle and ran to the pier.

They threw a rope to the two struggling. in the water and succeeded in pulling them out. Schmidt and Bella were taken shelter to the engine-room of the refinery, Dr. Mandell and an ambulance were summoned from the Beth Moses Hospital and the girl's parents were notified. The latter brought blankets and warm clothing for their daughter.

Mr. and Mrs. Posna refused to make any detailed statement to newspapermen who called at their residence today. Leaders at Albany Worried by Independent Bills of Queens "Wet." Albany, Jan. 20-The question of State prohibition enforcement legislation rouged Capitol corridors last night, and the echo today assumed the form of lively speculation on the probable action of the Legislature on two bills introduced by Senator John L.

Karle. Queens County Republican. The measures are intended to provide for a special election In New York State next March on the subject of State prohibition enforcement and modification by Congress of the Volsteod Act. Discussion today among Republican legislative leaders disclosed that the Karle measures are distinctly in opposition to the Republican platform ideas on prohibition, and the method in which the Republican majorities in both Houses would treat measures sponsored by a member of their own party furnished material for endless comment. There already have been Introduced in the Legislature the organization enforcement bills, which, according to the announced Republican policy, are designed to put the matter squarely up to the Legislature, without referendum.

The blow which Senator Karle struck WA hardly expected, although he had been classed generally by the Republicans as one of the "doubtfuls" when aL matter of prohibition enforcement was under because of the general concession't that his district is "wet." Lieutenant Governor Seymour Lowman, even after introduction of the Karle measures, expressed confidence that" the Republican program bills would pass, predicting that some Democratic votes might be obtained in addition to the solid Republican bloc, at least in the Senate. For the Assembly, the Republicans claim a majority in the matter of dry legislation, but they admit even there that enforcement bills might not go through without a fight. OLD TREASURE EXHIBIT TO DISPLAY RARE GOWNS An old treasure exhibition is being arranged. for next month to show the changes in types of wearing apparel and household commodities from period marking the close of the War, when Brooklyn first showed promise of becoming an imcommercial center.

The driver of the motorcar, Frank Taval, a farmer of Port Jefferson Station, was arrested, charged with manslaughter in the third degree and held in $1,000 bail for a hearing Thursday night. The two children were returning from a lace factory where they had taken some finished work when they decided to coast down the long hill.

The rest of their baggage, all contained in one small parcel, consisted of three silk shirts, carving knife, a flashlight and a revolver holster which was useless to them, since it was made for revolver. O'Malley then told Lt. Marxhausen how he had quarreled with his father yesterday morning and decided to run away.

Last night, he said, he crawled under his father's bed, got $310 from its hiding place and then called his pals, McHenry and Gibbons, to hit the "long trail" with him. The "long ended with the Children's Society, into whose custody the boys were placed. Money Taken Was to Be Paid on Mortgage.

His wife, the boy's stepmother, told a reporter for The Eagle that she had done her best to be a real mother to Patrick, but had not enough influence over him to keep him out of scrapes. The money he took, she explained, was being saved to pay off a mortgage. Mrs.

James J. Gibbons blamed a group of taxidrivers and hangers-on at a stand on Perry pl. for her boy's trouble.
