After asserting that "no responsible, disinterested engineer who has had ex perience !n subaqueous tunnel construc tion" has disagreed with the conclusions o? tho Now York and New Jersey com mission!' or tho chief engineer of the board of consulting cnrlnecrs, Gen. Dyer saye: "What ctltlcism or opposition there has been has consisted largely of Inspired publicity and nothing of real substance. If has been directly traced to two aources: First, Interests who own highly speculative nnd patented methods of con struction who wish tin: commission to adopt their method. Second, the activity of one member of the New Jersey Com mission who stands i.lone in-opposltlon to eVcry other member of both commis sions, shifting his ground as occasion seems to demand and for reasons which have not yet been disclosed.

STRATON SHEARS CITY 'WHITEWASHER' Attacks Dylan's Investigator, Hirsh field, as tho Defender of Accused Officials. READS GAY LIFE' LETTERS Plays, Girls' Dress, Dancing and Drinking Figure in Vice Temptations of To-day. At mo services held yesterday In Calvary Baptist Church, West Fifty seventh street, the Hev. Dr.sJohn Roach Straton attacked Commissioner of Ac counts David Hlrshfleld, whom ho chnr aeterlied as Commissioner of the White washing Dcpi.rtmcnt of New York City." The clergyman referred particularly to the recent activities' of Commissioner Hlrshfleld In defending certain accused police officials and In raking up a quarrel that Dr, Straton had with 6omo politicians In Norfolk, Va., for the pur pose of., belittling his recent campaign agalnbt vice conditions here. Ho also spoke of the efforts of Commissioner Hlrshfleld to get him to disclose the evidence he was laying before the Fed eral and countv Grand Juries regarding vice conditions. "The whole Tfort or Commissioner Hlrshfleld to break the force of my revelations about vice conditions." he said, "Is either high comedy or chenp rrelndr.ima. according to the mood of the oi.loo'er. My revelations have resulted In the raiding of some of the places mar, I exposed, anJ the Indictment by the Grnid Jurv. not only of the proprietors of those places, but also of some of the high officers Involved. If the admin istration permits much more of the sort of thing that Commissioner Hlrshfleld and others have been doing recently, then the administration will completely condemn Itself in tho eyes of all right thinking citizens." Hint nt Illrhfleld' Ulna. Dr. Straton told how he had been In vited to the Commissioner's office cn Anrll 6. and said that the Commissioner had written to Ills enemies In Norfolk the following day In an effort to "dig up" something to use against him. Before I had any time to repiy to nis letter, he paid, "he watt digging around In the Norfolk mud trying to find a club with which to crack me on the neau. That would have been n fine Impartial Investigation that he would have maoe of my charges. Bah ! The whole thing Is puerile and childish." Dr. Straton referred to tne inai or Col. Augustus "Drum Porter, tormer Third Dooutv I'ol ce Commissioner, on Indictments charging neglect or ouu, which is scheduled to begin today !n General Sessions. "The effort to discount me wun iaae fnctn' from Norfolk Is of a piece with the efforts to discredit in advance the testimony of the detectives who arc wit nesses against that former police offi cial." he said. The Dowers that be tried to drag these two men before an official lnvestl iratlon on a trivial charge before they had an opportunity to give their testi mony In open court. This was such an audacious and cold-blooded effort to 'convict the witnesses In advance that the court took vigorous steps to protect them, even warning the pollco authori ties that they would be held for con tempt of court If they persisted In the nefarlou.i scheme." Dr- Straton said he would explain his Norfolk afTalr later, but at present he did not Intend to allow the New York facts to "become clouded or confused by a discussion of personal issues." Geta Letters Aliont Gay Life. In his evening sermon Dr. Straton read a number of letters that he had received. They were filled with horror and Indignation nt phases of tho "gay life" of tlrts city. They attacked certain types of plays, styles of dress, dancing and drinking. The writer of one letter complained that tho rich "have their cellars filled with what the poor cannot get a glass of without paying a big price." One was from a young college man who told the pastor he was trying to keep himself pure, but found the strug gle a very difficult one became of the temptations that are placed In the way of the youth of to-day, the greatest of which, ho says. Is in the manner in which his young women associates dress and dance. Tills young man stated that he had a roommate? who Is also struggling on the brink, never knowing when tho young women will cause his downfall. One writer complained about a vscore of theatrical productions, and said that young women attending a certain late In the evening production are "on the sure road to ruin." The pastor con curred In this sentiment, and also ap plied the scourge to modern dances. "From the earliest time." he said, "dancing has been associated with the vices that tear down and destroy the human race." James E. Smith, Assistant District Attorney, who will prosecute the case against Col. Porter, said yesterday that he expected the sele.ctlon of a Jury to begin to-day. Martin W. Littleton and George Gordon Battle, who will act as counsel for the former Deputy Police Commissioner, spent the afternoon In conference over the case. TWO STEAMSHIPS SEND CALLS FOR AID E. A. Morse and William O'Brien Are in Distress. Two steamships were flashing distress signals from positions off the coast be tween Sandy Hook and Philadelphia last night and coast guard cutters had been sent to their assistance by the Navy De partment. The Shipping Board's freighter E. A. Morse, bound from Now York to Genoa, was :S0 miles southeast of Sandy Hook. She was without power and rapidly fill ing with water. Her signals finally stopped, and It was believed the radio storage batteries had given but. Both the Acushnet of the coast guard service nnd the San Mateo, bound for the West Indies, were approaching her under forced draft The Morse Is operated by the Union Transportation Company of 17 Battery place. About 600 miles cast of Philadelphia was the steamship William O'Brien, bound from this port to Rotterdam. Her hatch covers were off and she was making water fast, nccordlng to the fratlc calls received both at navy sta tions here and In Boston. The Morse Is the larger of tho vessels, registering 6,000 tons net, against the 3,143 of the O'Brien. Appeals laaned for Diet Kitchen.

The papers are to be sub mitted as nr. amended answer to tho charges filed when the suit was insti tuted on April 8. The papers amplify Mr. Havemeyer's first version of the alleged career of the complainant, stating that the complain ant has been long In the business of bringing breach of promlso suits, has first, If her own statement regarding her age Is correct, having taken place In 1806 when Bhe was only 11. Many other citizens, Including one In Albany and one In TJtlca, are alleged to have been victims of the manicure. Mr. Havemeycr Bald yesterday he had instructed his attorneys, Rockwood & Hart of G27 Fifth avenue, to expedite the trial. "Since the action was started my attorneys have been approached with suggestions of settlement, which I have refused to consider," he said, "There will be no settlement," Mr. Havemeyer's answer consists of two principal counter charges, the first being that the complainant Is still tho wife of Garry Hearn, a hotel proprietor of Schenectady, although she has con sulted several attorneys regarding a di vorce. His second charge deals with the alleged breach of promise actions In which he says she has figured. The manicure, In papers filed with the Institution of the suit, xald she met Mr. Havemeyer last November whllo she was employed in tho Grand Central Sta tion barb.er shop, and thai' subsequently she lived at his expense at the Hotel Richmond, Mr. Havemeyer makes com plete denial of these allegations, and asserts he is the victim of a conspiracy against his character. The complainant, he represents, Is about 36, and was born In Albany, the daughter of Jacob Rels Inger. MUST SHOW RADICAL HIS UNIMPORTANCE Country Does Not Need Him, Says Pastor. In a sermon at the Church of the Heavenly Rest yesterday morning, tho Rev. Dr. Herbert Shlpman declared It essential that tho American people provo to certain radical labor groups that the country can get along without their services. "Each small labor group thinks it Is Indispensable In our great American life.1 he said. "It is for us to show that this in a monstrous falsehood, for If Its stew ards prove faithless America lll find a way. It may bring on a civil war, but It Is worth It." Dr. Shlpman said that Christianity had always been historically and tradl 'tlonally on the side of tho oppressed, and that the oppressed of to-day are the average men and women who be long to the ranks of neither capital nor labor. "They are unorganized," he said, "and therefore open to exploitation by minority labor groups here and there," He referred to the work done by Gov. ernor Allen of Kansas In wluelclilng dis turbances and how American citizens have been forced through the recent railroad strike to take tho reins into their own hands.

CAN CURE NERVE AILMENTS Brinkley Declares Operation Like Those He Has Per formed Would Restore President Wilson in Thirty-six Hours. Transfer of the interstitial glands of goats to replace corresponding glands In the human body has been proved to be an operation which is capable of cur ing Insanity, paresis, locomotor ataxia and kindred mental and nervous per versions, according to Dr. John R. Brinkley, chief surgeon of the Brlnkley Joncs Hospital, at Mllford, Kan, Since December 1, 1017, fifty-four transmuta tions have been effectod with entire suc cess, tho glands from living goats hav ing been grafted onto the tissue of both men und women, the doctor told re porters yesterday at the McAlpln Hotel. He said he had como to New York to report the cases to medical societies hore. Dr, Brinkley tutys that the secret of his success lies In tho fact that he uses only Toggenberg registered Swiss milk goats, whtch'are tho only animal whose glands aro unular-cclled, as In tho hu CIRCUS EXTENDS ITS' STAY UNTIL MAY 3 Ringling - Barnum - Bailey Show Resists Clamors From Rest of Country. The re3t of the State and nation Is putting up a clamor for the big Ring- ling-Uarnum & Bailey show, but a press agent attached thereto was responsible yesterday for the announcement that the big top will not move out of Madl. son Square Garden until May 3, when It will be permitted to go Into the prov Inces, beginning with Brooklyn. Since the rainy morning when the circus first came to town and stole through The Bronx and Into Manhattan more than usual Interest has followed It, and be fore closing the run here the manage ment wnnts to make sure that all the repeaters have had another chance. Any one who suspects there are no adult "repeaters" should Inquire at Madison Square Garden for Lieut. Jack Murray of Police Headquarters. Lieut. Murray has been camped out In front of the twenty-three elephants since the circus came. He says he hasn t seen the rest of the circus for twenty years, but he never misses an elephant. Then there fire some thousands of children- to whom the season will not be complete without bight of the sawdust ring, ant: the management is allowing their dads just a few days longer of grace before the big top falls and is carted away. Yesterday the circus people, Including all the performers and canvassmen, took It easy by resting up on an exciting film of the United States Marines' activities In Franco. The film has never had a public showing, and tho whole thing was very much privileged. Lieutenant-Commander Welles Hawkes arranged the exhibition, not, however, with the Hole Intention of recruiting the circus for uhe marines. Ho thought as It was a quiet Sunday afternoon, and life Is pretty dull around a circus when It Isn't on show, that a good, battling view of tho marines taking trenches under fire would be appreciated. It was, and Dexter Fcllowcs of the circus press bu reau, was responsible for the, statement that when It was over and tho marines had walloped the Germans almost too effectively, Wall-Wall, the Bushman, who can't talk a word of English, broke Into . version of the "Star-Spangled Banner" with a brogue. POLISH SOLDIERS RETURN TO AMERICA First Contingent of Pader cwski's Legion Arrives. The .first contingent of Polish-American soldiers of the legion that was formed In this country and Canada In 1317 and did gallant service In France and In their nativo land, returned yes terday by the transport Antigone from Dantzlg and were warmly welcomed by compatriots and decorated with pies and sandwiches by Red Cross nurses. On the same ship were more than a thou sand American troops and civilians from tho Army of Occupation in Germany. The Polish veterans, all volunteers and many middle aged, were n command of Lieut. Stanley Pawllckl, who went over seas in December, 1917. fought In France and was decorated. A party of PSIIsh American business men of Chicago who were among the welcomers presented to each soldier IS In cash. The Polish troops, 1.M0 In all. went by boat to the Pennsylvania station and started for Camp Dlx, where they will be mustered out, In a train manned by regular engineer and army men. The roles, nearly all of whom wero Ameri can citizens before they entered the ser vice, were recently repatriated. They will receive new outfits for their worn uniforms and Jobs will be, found for them. Three Polish-American nurses, Miss Janet Szweda of Boston, Miss Mary Skora of Passaic, N.

TANS AND STRAWS PARADE. Bahama Tourists Outshine Man 1 hattan'a Overall. Summer fashions, which already have lost their novelty In the Bahamas, came Into town yesterday with the arrival of the Ward liner Wacouta from Nassau, Bahamas, with sixty-seven breezily garbed passengers and produced a mild sennsatlon. Straw hats and duck suit ings shortly began a parade In Manhat tan which rivalled the ) demonstrations in favor of overalls for novelty. Not all the passengers were clad In the summer fashion, but those who boasted their tans and straws too com manded general attention. GOAT GLANDS man system. Tho first operations were designed to correct moral deficiencies, tho surgeon said, but the dominating In fluence of tho Interstitial glands so pow erfully affected the entire nervous sys tem that It was found nervous diseases could be cured by the same operation. The advantage of goat glands ovor monkey glands Is that goats aro subject to relatively few of tho diseases with which humans are afflicted, whllo mon keys aro so susceptlblo that they oven "catch Influenza" and frequently aro in fected with human disease germs, Dr. Brinkley said. Ho denied that the glands would restore youth to tho extent that Voronoff, tho French surgeon, recently claimed, but Bald that the general Im provement In health due to the glands chould cause longer life. If the public diagnosis that President Wllson'ls suffermg from hypertrophy of the prostate gland Is correct a goat gland would restore him In from twenty-four lo thirty-six hour's, Dr. Brinkley aswrted. SEES DANGERS IN ABELES RENT BILLS Secretary of Realty Board Says Passngc Would Cheek Con struction Plans. In a statement Issued yesterday Richard O. Chlttlck, executive secre tary of the Real Estate Board of New York, declared the passage of the Abeles bills for limiting the rentals of store and loft prop'rty along lines similar to those which apply to living quarters, will put a complete damper upon realty construction and buying In this city. Mr. Chlttlck will be on the delegation that Is going to Albany to-morrow to oppose these bills at u public hearing In tho Capitol. Attention of the legis lators will be called to results of an Inquiry the Real Estate Board lias been conducting into the mortgage loan sit uation by means of questionnaires. These questionnaires, Mr. Chlttlck said, were distributed among lawyers whose clients have large sums of money out on mortgages. All of them were asked If their clients contemplated re newing at the expiration of the term, and with one accord they have an swered In the negative. "The rent profiteering bills, while they have undoubtedly checked un scrupulous landlords, also have operated to check new construction and to cre ate a series of complications that have1 curtailed real estate trading," Mr. Chlt tlck said. "The legislators seem entire ly to have lost slghi of the fact that these radical restrictive laws are dis couraging lenders on bond and mort gage. "If the Legislature enacts new laws as contemplated In the Abeles bills, and does not enact the pending Simpson measure for exempting the Interest on mortgages from the provisions of the Income tax law, It will assume a grave responsibility. Jt will have committed Itself and tho people of this State to a programme which will aggravate a sit uation bad enough now Into a crisis by next fall." James D. O'Sulllvan, Assistant Corpo ration Counseled legal adviser for the Mayor's committee, expressed tho be lief that tho question of the constitu tionality of the new rent laws could not be passed upon by the Court nf Ap peals until next fall, even should certain landlords begin to fight them at the present time. The Harlem Property Owners' Asso ciation has called the attention of Mu nicipal Court Justices and of the Dis trict Attorney to the activities of pro fcsslotial ngltators who are extracting largo sums of money from tenants bv enlisting them In so-called "leagues." Ono woman in the Bronx is said to have reaped a harvest of many dollars. Ten ants have complained that she told them to pay their rent to her Instead of to their landlords on the assurance that she could compel -a reduction. She does not return tho money. The tenants. however, are so fearful of this woman's Influence that It has been Impossible so far to get any of them to help In prosecuting her. It Is charged that the majority of these agitators are Socialists, who got money from tenants on tho statement that It is needed "to fight the case." Tenants who need legal advice can get It free from tho Mayor's committee. ONE TAX ON INCOME OF COUNTRY URGED Indirect Levies Opposed in Credit Men's Report. A proposal advanced to bring about a more evenly distributed and equitable system of Federal taxes was forwarded yesterday to President Wilson, the Cab inet and members of Congress by the committee on Federal taxation of the National Association of Credit Men Elimination of excess profits and cor-1 poratlon Income taxes are suggested and a single levy based upon Income In pro-' portion to wealth is offered as the solu- Hon. The report in part follows: "Income taxation to be fair and equitable must be founded on the prin ciple of taxing once and only once the entire Income of the country In propor tion to the ability to pay of the Indl vl(luaI whose income ls bearing the tax burden. Indirect taxes generally cause .duplication of taxation. Pyramiding and passing of the burden to those least able to bear It and are the basis of much unrest and dissatisfaction. The excess profits tax is a glaring example of this. For It taxes the earnings of the Invest ment or corporate stocKnoiaers on whlh elrnlna-a thev nr later 1,1IJ v-nl earnings tney are later obliged to pay an Income tax, "We recommend the substitution of a corporation undistributed earnings tax at a graduated rate that will have a tendency to encourage payment of divi dends, (a) A substantial percentage of! net income for any year must be dis tributed In dividends, (b) Dividends paid from earnings of prior years on which the corporation has' paid the undis tributed earnings tax not to be consid ered as Income to the Individual stock holder. Dividends may not bo paid from surplus until earnings of current year have first been used for that purpose. "We also recommend the elimination of the corporation Income tax for the reason that it .Is Inequitable as between different stockholders In the same cor poration. To equalize this loss of revenue we recommend that corporate dividends be made subject to the normal tax." f302,5B3 for German caildren. A total of 84,635.26 was received dur ing the last week by James Speyer, treasurer of the American Relief Com mittee for German Children. It was an nounced yesterday.

Two denominations recently raised 1265,000,000, he said, and it ought not to bo difficult for thirty de nominations In the Interchurch World Movement to exceed that figure. Mr. Rockefeller has Just returned from a tour of tho United States and has spoken In all the principal cities preparatory to launching of tho Inter church campaign. About 6,000 heard him epcalc. Slnco the end of the war, he said, peo ple seem to think Individualism Is the solution of world problems, but from tho heights of unselfishness, bravery and loyalty to duty Americans have de scended to selfishness and thoughtless ness. "It Is clear," he said, "that hap piness has not come with peace." "What a great power this interchurch movement can exert," ho continued, "If you and I, If every man and woman who Is Interested In the great question, In the great problems of the day, does his or her share In the advancing of the Interests of this enterprise. "There are those who fear that this movement Is something which U going to rise above the churches and dominate them. Let me correct any such mlsap prehension. It is a movement created by the churches and run entirely by them. It Is an instrument In their hands of accomplishing their purposes tne tasks that havo been laid upon them. Stereoptlcon views were hown by Dr. S. Earl Taylor to lllu3trato the needs of the church, especially throughout the country districts, where 00 per cent, of the population live. Dr. Taylor said, In the absence of the associate chair man, Charles E. Hughes, whose daugh ter died yesterday, Alfred E. Marling presided. A Brooklyn meeting will be held In tho Academy of Music to-morrow night at 8 o'clock. William G. McAdoo will speak.

TWO HARD BATTLES DUE IN LEGISLATURE Rival Sides Lined Up for Last Week on Teachers' Pay and Fare Bills. Bptciil lo Tnit 8cn ixn Naw Yokk lUnii-D. Albant, April 18. The Legislature enters on the last week of the scsslore with two hard fights on Its hands. Still dissatisfied, the school teachers ore ask ing for more money and threatening re prisals If they do not get It Municipal ities are lined up against the powerful railroad lobby In the struggle over tho Jenks bills to Increase street car fares. The outlook ls that the teachers will get big Increases, but It ls still doubtful whether they will receive the J50.000.000 budget they are demanding. They say they will not compromise and their agents are out through the State to-day .organizing their fighting forces to re turn to the Capitol this week. Mrs. Grace Straclian Forsythe an nounced to-day that New York would send another big delegation to Albany this week to back the claims of tho metropolitan teachers. ' Pending in tho Legislature are two bills. One provides a one mill direct tax, which would raise about. 814, 000.000, and the other a mill and a half, raising 820.000.000, In ad dition to about 810.000,000 already ap propriated. The teachers are dissatis fied with both proposals. The Stalo- daylight savings law will stand on the books for this summer. That is as near a certainty as any thing In the Legislature. Assemblyman Charles If. Betts will make a third at Umpt this week to pass his repeal bill, but It probably will meet with tho same fate as tho other efforts along that line. The representatives of the New York policemen and firemen arc still hero try ing to defeat the Hylan-Enrlght police bills. The Lusk committee's antl-scditton bills probably will be put up to the Gov ernor before the end of the week, to gether with the Sweet antl-soclallst bills, which aro the outgrowth of the trial of the five .Socialist Assemblymen. Prohibition and all of Its kindred is sues has gone by the board. Col. Ran som II. Glllett will make a last effort to save his bcor bill to-morrow night from the Rules Committee's graveyard and Assemblyman Cuvlllier will make an other endeavor at the same time to force an Investigation of the Anti-Saloon league. The orders of the Anti-Saloon League are to drop the whole subject nnd the orders will be obeyed. -The Governors reconstruction pro gramme Is dead now nnd tho Republi cans havo completed arrangements for carrying out their own plans for tinker ing with thf governmental machinery. Thn Walker boxing bill has been pig eonholed, but Col. Glllett will make an attempt to get a otc on his bill to per mit boxing In armories. Relief for the tenants of New York city office and loft buildings from goug ing landlords Is sought through a series of bills introduced by Senator Peter A. Abeles, a hearing on which will be given by the Senate Cities Committee Tuesday afternoon. Hundreds of local measures oro pend ing, all carrying little appropriations for bridges, culverts, fish hatcheries, park preserves nnd other 'lmproementr," for the passage of which desperate efforts will be made, but the Indications are that many of them will have lo go down to defeat because of the strain on the Slate's strong box to pay teachers' sal aries and other big expcndltucs of this year. STITT EXCUSES HIS ASSEMBLY ABSENCE Asserts Committee Had No Power to Take Action. In a letter to Mayor Hylan. raade pub lic yesterday. Assemblyman Theodore Stm of Brooklyn answered the criticism directed at him since It becamo known he was absent when the Assembly Ju diciary Committee reported the Jenks traction bill, by declaring that tho com mittee was without power to act at the time of the meeting. The Mayor's let ter to tho Assembly, asking that bodv 10 investigate tne facts in the case and determine Whether Mr. Stltt and Assem blyman Evans were deceived Into Ignor lng the meeting and thus losing their votes on the measure was "based on a misapprehension of the facts," the com munication explained. Mr. Stltt first explained the three ane. clfic purposes for which the life of the Judiciary Committee was extended. Tho lime limit tor consideration of the Jenks measures was up on April 13. he wrote. and therefore "the committee was with- out, autnoruy either to 'kill' or report favorably the Jenks bills at the meettnc held on Friday, April 16." Chairman Martin agroed with him that the com mittee was powerless before he left Al bany, Mr. Stltt explained. The reasons w-hv the Jenks Mil ni,i be defeated are "countless," John P. O'Brien. Corporation Counsel, declared last nteht In a statement In which he outlined the case against them. Mr. o Brien declared .they will nrf.. mine, abrogate and annul franch!s agreements, and that they will be de clared unconstitutional by the courts i-enoing sucn a decision, he said, he public would be called on to pay extra fares without any chance of restitution He called attention to the fact that the control of fares is placed In the hands of the Fuollc Service Commission by the bills, and then said that the one man who would have authority to act would automatically be made an absolute arbi trator of questions Involving hundred. I of millions of dollars ot the public's money. " , Opposes "Women's Eight Hoot- nm I 1 1 Following a condemnatory report by Its lndustr.al committee, the Merchants "Jit" ""1""."'

SWEEPING COUNTRY Organizations Hero Falling i Line; Big Broadway Vi)r rades Planned. Overalls will lnvado the office of JohH D. Rockefeller, Jr., to-day. They wiri be worn by a committee from the Choosf Club, which has given some of Its mem. bcrs to the leadership of tho "overalls for everybody" movement In this city. The visit to Mr. Rockefeller's oluce ls to bo In accordance with a progrummo mapped out for tho purpose of obtaining opinions on the overalls campaign front leaders of both capital and labor. At various times since the boosting of tho denim garments begin tltcro has been criticism from various sources and tho Cheese Club wants to know why. Mi. Rockefeller's opinions will bo obtained and compared with tho views of Samuel Gompers and members of tho garment Industry. The men who visit Mr. Rockefeller will ask him If he ls going to Join tho movement to reduce tho high cost of clothing. In Philadelphia on Saturday Mr. Rockefeller was quoted as telling his Interviewers of tho press that he would don overnlls when they did. Jt Is believed he will becomo a supporter of the campaign. Mr. Gompers will be asked to express his opinion on the effect the campaign ultimately will have. He will be asked If he believes thero Is any truth In tho theorizing of garment Industry leaders to the effect that the campaign will be reflected In Increased costs. Tho last visit of the day will be to the headquarters of tho Intornatlon.il Garment Workers Union of America, ono of tho labor organizations, which, It Is- said, is strongly against the over all Idea on the assumption that It will bring about a big advance In the price of the garments. It has been said, too. that members .of the union are spreading the news that the campaign will squeeze the poor man's pocketbook still more by making It practically Impossible for him to buy cheap clothing. The Cheese Club announced through Walter Kln ley last night that It is In the market for proof that the countrywide wearing ot denim pants will hurt any one but the profiteer. It may be, Mr. Klngslcy said, that the lunch basket of twenty years ago will, bo revived by tho club members for 'the 'sake of proving It saves money. There were no Indications yesterday that the overall movement was abating anywhere. From the West and the mid dle West and from the North as well as the South came reports of the organiza tion of new' clubs and the spread of the Idea. Hartford. Conn., reported lust night that a big delegation of citizens will come to this city to Join the parade planned for tho latter part of the week and that 100 women will Join the men clerks In Insurance offices by wearing denim to-day. At Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, White Plains and Yonkera other overall clubs were formed. Westchester farmers, called for Jury duty in White Plains, will appear In tho new garments to-day. More than SOO high school students, both boys and girls, havo formed the' Wear Your Old Clothes Association. Various parades and other demonstra tions are In prospect for this week to further the wearing of overalls. People In all walks of life from the schoolboy to sedate Judges and moro or less sedate members of Congress havo joined the ranks of overall wearers. Tho boys of Do Witt Clinton High School expect to give Broadway a taste of the now styles In a parude to-day, whllo tho Choss Club, which marched Saturday afternoon. Is planning another demonstration of a much more preten tious character. That will be a Broad way parade In the next day or so In which the Chess Club marchers will bo augmented by denim clad members of the Knights of Columbus, the Women's Civic Federation, the Bronx Business Mey's Club, the American Flying Squad ron, the Rotary Club and other or ganizations. Meanwhile public officials are falling In line.. Maurice Connolly, President of tho Borough of Queens; Judge Burt J. Humphrey of Queens county and numer ous departmental heads and employees have signified their intention of don ning the garb of tho bricklayer and hod carrier to-day. in Brooklyn schools, clubs and clvls organizations have decided to help the matter along, among them belnr a club of 1500 members organized by the army nape, soutn Brooklyn. BAR ASSOCIATION RAPS HYLAN BUSES Passes Judgment Also on Other New Legislation. Tho Association of the" Bar of New York forwarded yesterday to the Got ernor and members of tho Legislature tho association's bulletin expressing ap proval or disapproval of various meas ures pending beforo the legislature. Among bills the association disap proves are those by which Mayor Hyla'i Is seeking authority to establish and op erate municipally owned bus lines. The association declares there Is only one precedent for such an undertaking iiM that Is the city's operation of the Sta'en Island and South Brooklyn ferries, "an experlenco most discouraging to the tax payer." The association also believe! the measures aro unconstitutional. Senator Walker's bill providing for a convention of Judges - and lawyers to make rule for courts. Is approved. The association objects, however, to the pro posed method of making up the person nel of tho convention and Insists that tre whole matter of appointing the conven tion be left for the presiding justices of the appellate divisions. Tho lawyers approve In these particu lars of the Davenport-Steinberg bill to amend the election: Restoration of the State convention, but not the sort c convention created by the bill ; subs! -tutlon of tho Hughes system of prlmar designations for the present Western system, and a specific provision In the law that where there Is no contest in primaries for any office, there shall b r.o election for that office.
