Harkness made his proposals to he New York State Suburban Pasenger Transit Commission, of which Senator Griswold Webb is chairman, a plan for the relief of commuter congestion at Pennsylvania Terminal and Grand Central Station. The commission is meeting this afternoon hear suggestions at the Bar Assodation Building, W. 44th Mansattan, Room for Traffic in East River Tubes Harkness said that the commuter station-which would be located in the Sunnyside Yards -and the necesary track connections could be built and put into operation within a year da cost estimated at not more than 10,000,000 and possibly as little as $000,000. He pointed out that It would land commuters directly at stations of the M.

These tubes, the 60th tunnel of the B. M. T. and the R. T.

tube to 42d he declared, were capable of handling at least 13,800 more passengers per hour in the rush periods, so that the capacity would be at hand for transporting these commuters into Manhattan from the Sunnyside terminal. The Commissioner informed the State that Long Island VaS favorable to the plan so far it concerned its own commuters, but objected to the introduction of New Haven and Westchester line passengers into Long Island City. The Pennsylvania and the New Haven, he stated, objected to the are of the Hell Gute Bridge for comouting trains, although its four racks now carried but a small fracon of their capacity in train service.

DAILY FLEXIBILITY PLAN ASSURES FRANCE'S DEBT SETTLEMENT New Formula for Deferred Payments Acceptable. See End in 24 Hours. Eagle Bureau, 901 Colorado Building, By HENRY SUYDAM.

Washington, Sept. 30-Satisfactory settlement of the French debt of 200,000,000 Is expected within the next 24 hours. This became apparent this afternoon, following meeting of the American Debt Commissioners, when it became known that a formula of flexibility had been found, mutually acceptable, under which payments to the United States can be accommodated to any diminution In the French Income. Out of deference to American susceptibilities, no direct reference is made in this formula to the possible failure of German reparation payments under the Dawes plan, but the formula is designed to cover this vital contingency. The Americans will meet with the French later this afternoon to work out the scheme of annuities and the interest rate.

It was Indicated from French source that M. Caillaux might raise hia top figure to maximum annual payments, in the later decades of the 62-year liquidation, to somewhere between $100,000,000 and $130,000,000 under the flexibilIty clause. This raising of the maximum above the $90,000,000 figure on which M. Caillaux has insisted, represents less of an actual concession than would appear on the surface. The precise formula for flexibility of payments is not known, but it will probably provide for deferred payments in the earlier years, the period of such deferred payments to be covered by the issuance of interest-bearing bonds.

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, receiving newspaper correspondents after the American meeting, was in excellent humor and appeared confident that a solution would now be speedily reached. There will be informal meetings this afternoon, and later a plenary conference to draw up the final form of settlement. The Early "Trading" Offers. When the American Commission this morning, there was still a wide divergence between the French and American offers. The French offer was substantially $30,000,000 in 1926, with annuities thereafter increasing to the top figure of $90,000,000 in 1946 and for the balance of the 62-year term.

Coupled with this, M. Calllaux asked a written assurance that the agreement would be automatically revised at the end 10 years, in the light of French capacity to pay at that time. The most favorable American terms then offered were somewhat 8.8 follows: That France should pay 000 for the first ten years, 000 to be applied on the principal and $20,000,000 in Interest. The interest rate for the first ten years would thus be a fraction of 1 percent. At the end of ten years, the interest rate would automatically nual Jump percent, rising to with the the maxi- allpayments mum, Infinitesimal neighborhood of Interest Rate.

$150,000,000. The French offer, translated Into totals meant that France would pay something like $5.000,000,000 in 62 years, in other words, repayment of the principal sum of $4.200,000,000 now due, with an infinitesimal rate of interest. The American offer contemplated the payment of between $8,000,000,000 and $9,000,000,000 in the 62-year period. The two offers early this morning were thus at least three billions apart. The American Commission had informed M.

Caillaux that very lenient terms would be granted for the first 10 years, as It was generally agreed that France 18 in no position at the present time to meet large annual payments. At the end of 10 years, however, M. Caillaux was Informed, France must begin paying in earnest. Opposition on Both Sides. Senator Reed Smoot of Utah and Representative Theodore Burton of Ohio, who are representing Congress on the Debt-Funding Commission, belleved that the United States has gone the limit in attempting to meet French difficulties, and that any further concessions would endanger ratification by Congreas.

There 1s a good deal of feeling on this point beneath the surface. M. Calllaux, on the other hand, could not raise his offer without consulting his opposition, which he has brought with him as members of his own commission.

MINISTER MULCAHY STRUCK BY WOMAN ard Mulcahy, Minister of Defense In the Irish Free State, was struck 1 in the face by one of a group of men and women at Independence Hall today while visiting the historic building with other members of the Interparliamentary Union. Boy 7, Face Black and Blue, Tells of Punishment for "Falling Off the Fence." Wine Bottle Broken Over Head of Girl Another Has Gash in Arm. The courts in two separate parts of Brooklyn today took a hand to save three children ranging between 1 14 and years in age from parents who had brutally assaulted them. In the Gates Avenue Court Joseph Enrico, 42, and his wife, Domenica, 40, of 576 DeKalb were held for the action of the Grand Jury on charges that they had attacked Rose and Josephine Enrico, respectively 14 and 10 years old. The girls, said the parents, had refused to obey them, and so the father broke a wine bottle over Rose's head and the mother (a stepmother) bit Josephine's arm, leaving a great gash, which was still in evidence when Magistrate Eilperin examined it in court today.

A sharp-nosed, weary-eyed woman of 30, Mrs. Mary Walsh of 56 State with a month-old baby held in a blanket in her arms, sat in the witness chair related to Magistrate Mortimer Brown how she had "beaten up" her son, Peter Walsh, aged 7, "because he fell off a fence." A few minutes earlier Peter had preceded her in the chair and told more of how it was done. But the boy's story as he told it was less damaging evidence than his face; great black-and-blue welts had swelled up his cheeks down almost to his jaws, and both eyes were so nearly closed that it was only with an effort he could look around at the direction of the court. "Do you know the defendant there?" inquired Assistant District Attorney Edward A. Wynn.

Peter peered out from under his swollen eyelids. "Is that your mother asked -Magistrate Brown. He said yes, it was, his hands playIng with a knitted cap. He was asked what his mother did to him on the night of Sept. 27.

"She struck me in the head with shoe, right there. She hit me over the head and face. I says to mother, don't hit And she said, 'I'll hit And she hit me." Peter couldn't explain himself fuently, but the welts under his eyes told the story. "Had your mother been drinking?" asked the court. "Yes," whispered the boy.

S. Submarine Base, New London, Sept. 30 (P) Rough weather having caused a suspension of work at the scene of the wrecked submarine 9-51, officers at the submarine base today said that it might be necessary to stop the efforts at rescue and try to salvage the boat. Such a step, however, would have to be ordered by the Navy Department at Washington and probably would be taken only upon the recommendation of Rear Admiral H. H.

Christy, in command of the rescue work, who 80 far has refused to give up hope that some of the 81 remaining men who went down with her more than four days ago might still be alive. Two bodies are all that have been recovered of the 33 who went down. The beginning of salvage operations would mean that efforts to lift the stern of the sunken submarine, which has been the object of the crane ships, would be abandoned and divers would try to patch the hole punched in her hull by tho steamer City of Rome, perhaps put pontoons under her and attach her to barges to be towed to the surface. The time it would take for such work would be uncertain, for It has not been determined how far the S-51 has settled in the sandy bottom of the ocean. It would be a matter of days, however.

Even should the wreckers succeed in raising the stern so that part of the craft could be opened to release any possible survivors, it would be necessary to drop her down again before the salvage operations could be started. A report received from the U. S. S. Camden off Block Island said that seas were still running high above the sunken submarine 8-51 early this afternoon.

The wind, which had shifted from northeast to north, was slowly abating, but the water was still too rough to make it advisable for the craneships Monarch and Cen tury to come out again from Newport to renew the effort to raise the submarine. The message from Admiral Chriaty this morning saying that all rescue operations had been suspended was very brief. It read: "Present weather conditions make 8-51 operations impossible." This was the first word to come from the rescue fleet since late last night, with the exception of a brief weather report transmitted by the submarine mother ship Camden. The Continued on Page 2.

KIOSKS To Mandamus Transit Commission Craig Heads Committee of On motion of Boro President Joseph A. Guider of Brooklyn the committee of the whole of the Board of Estimate at its meeting today ordered Corporation Counsel George P. Nicholson to mandamus the State Transit Commission to "take 80me action" at once with a view to bringing about the removal of the B. M. T.

subway kiosks on 4th Brooklyn, between Atlantic ave, and 60th sta. Various citizens and' representatives of civic neighborhood organizations pleaded with the committee to take some such step, and entered an emphatic protest against the long delay in removing a "dangerous obstruction," which, they said, had caused the loss of nine lives in the past three years. Guider himself declared that the "situation is getting worse every day," and a number of women in the celegations spurred on the city legislators with the complaint that "lives are being lost while splitting hairs." The delay has been due to the belief of the Transit Commission that the B. M. T.

cannot be compelled to move the subway stations from the middle of the street to the sidewalks, since this would be a street improvement, while the city officials are determined to make the corporation bear the cost of the improvement, about $350,000. Another motion to bring action in the removal of the kiosks was introduced by Guider and adopted by the committee, instructing the Board of Transportation to prepare plans for the proposed change, and at the next meeting of the committee to submit estimates of the probable cost. Kylan Out as Chairman. Mayor Hylan, who was present at the meeting, though no longer 8.9 chairman, took a minor part in the day's proceedings, allowing others to take the lead. At every opportunity, however, he roused himself long enough to point out the achievements of his administration in the past, and whenever an opening was given him he broke a lance against his ancient foes, the traction interests.

It was thus when Guider introduced 1 his motion to mandamus the Transit Commission. "Let's go to it," he declared gayly. "It's too bad we can't get these gen. Itlemen removed. They turned the tables on me once.

Maybe we can do a little turning on them." The presiding officer at, the meeting wan Frank J. Prial, deputy controller, sitting in the absence of his chief, Controller Charles L. Craig. Even before the Mayor had arrived Craig was unanimously elected president of the committee of the whole in place of the Mayor, resigned.

That is like sending a ship to sea without lifeboats or life preservers."

Blames Navy Heads for Series of Mishaps. SHENANDOAH LOSS DUE TO REMOVING VALVES HEINEN Former Pilot Blames Reduction of Safety Equipment. Lakehurst, N. Sept. 30 (AP) Appearing as one of the star witnesses in the Shenandoah disaster investigation, Capt.

Anton Heinen, former Zeppelin pilot, was subjected to sharp examination today before the naval court of inquiry here. After Heinen had detailed his long experience as a Zeppelin pilot and In this country with the Shenandoah, he said he had made some statements about the wreck of that craft, but added that at this time "I would like permission to modify these statements." The former German pilot dented that he had that the wreck of the Shenandoah was "pure murder." "What structural changes do you think were responsible for the dent?" asked Judge Advocate Foley, "The reduction of the 18 safety valves to eight," Heinen said. Heinen that he had said that 18 safety valves were not enough for the Shenandoah. He said what he had said was that on account of the greater density of helium than hydrogen in. more He valves added he might have been put regarded the 18 valves originally put in a8 sufficient.

Heinen said his statement that the expansion of the gas bags in the Shenandoah caused her to break up was based entirely on his knowledge of the ship itself and from his past experience with such craft. The witness told the court that he did say the number of valves were reduced to save "their precious helium." He characterized tire "jam pot" covers of the automatic valves 8.8 a "folly" which was designed to save helium instead of lives. Admits "Whitewash" Statement. The witness conceded that he said after the disaster: "They will appoint the usual whitewashing inquiry board to camouflage this disaster and It8 cause, but every man at the air station knows why It happened." "Can you name any men at the naval air station, Lakehurst, or elsewhere, who expressed the opinion that they knew why the disaster to the Shenandoah happened?" asked Captain Foley. "I can." was the reply.

"Give his name," the Judge Advocate shot back. There WAS A pause, and then it was announced that the court had information that the survivor "was one "No, sir," said Heinen. He did see Collier afterward, but advised Collier to keep away from him. The Judge Advocate conferred with the survivors and announced that they did not insist on the name being given and an answer was not pressed for. The witness said he had been told at air station here that most of the men opposed the change of the gas valves, and that it never had been approved officially, "Who told you asked Captain Foley, "It is the polley on my part to let the man who said so come out himself," Heinen replied.

"Was your informant to speak from his own knowledge?" "He was." After a conference with the court Captain Foley announced that the naming of the informant would not be Insisted upon.

Warrants are to be issued for their arrest. It was the capture of the Nantisco which resulted, through revelations of the wife of one of the five, in the arrest of 14 members of the "Broadway Rum Ring." with headquarters in Times Square, a week ago.

William Mitchell created a sensation today before President Coolidge's Aircraft Board by charging that the War Department is constantly exerting "indirect coercion" upon officers giving testimony.

He then pointed dramatically to a group in the corner of the committee room which he said was an officer from the General Staff, with a stenographer, taking down testimony for the Department's 1 use. Colonel Mitchell sprung this surprise after testifying that Navy heads were responsible for "bungling" in the tragic flight of the Shenandoah, the failure of the PN-9 No. 1 hop to Hawaii and the unsuccessful trip of the Navy-MacMillan planes into the wastes of the Arctic regions. He charged that the Shenandoah flight was illegal and that the dirigible was allowed to make the ill-fated trip without a parachute on board. Mitchell literally exploded after declaring that there never was an aircraft which was tree from intimidation by superiors.

A board member asked him it the present hearing was not being conducted without such 8 threat. Colonel Mitchell admitted that this hearing had brought out the frankest testimony, then suddenly waived to the corner where the War Department stenographer was taking down everything, and said: "That's the kind of thing," he said angrily, "that has its effect upon junior officers who come here to tea- tify." Officers "Must Explain." Chairman Morrow tried to explain to Mitchell that the General Staff group was there simply to save money by taking testimony instead of buying it later from the board. But the fiery Colonel shook his head in disbelief. "Maybe so," he replied, "but I know from my own experience that within a day or 80 after giving testimony here the War Department calls up officers to explain just what they mean by certain statements." Colonel Mitchell then revealed the his suggestion to the board for fact that General Patrick, following Air Corps in the Army, had received ins a summary order from his superiors to submit immediately exact estimates of how much his proposal would cost-'an utterly Impossible order," according to Mitchell. Colonel Mitchell's testimony today dealt with the recent aviation wrecks in the Navy and with the organization of the air services of foreign countries, of which he has made exhaustive studies.

Carries No Parachutes. The sending of the Shenandoah across the mountains was indirect violation of the law which provides that ships like that, operated from a land base, should be under the Mitchell The he question said, of weather Judgment, should never be entrusted to nonflying officers. He pointed out that sending the Shenandoah forth without parachutes was just as mad as sending out a sea vessel without life boats, or life preservers.
