Following a meeting of Ute execu? tive committee of the organiztion at the Drug and Chemical Club, a letter was written tv? Mr. Hylan, now at Palm Beach, in which it was pointed out that the serious consequences fol lowing the removal of Costigan war? rant an immediate investigation. The decision to take this step, it was explained, was largely prompted by n feeling among the membership that factional and personal differences among officials of the "Police Depart? ment were gravely affecting the effi? ciency of the police at a time when a wave of eiinie was sweeping over the city. Leonard M, Wallstcin, secretary of the committee on city government, in announcing the action of the union, declined to make public the contents of the 'otter until Wednesday after? noon. It was learned, however, that the refusal of Acting Mayor Robert L. Moran to go to the botton of the con? troversy in his absence was pointed out to Mr. Hylan. It was maintained, too. that the results of the shift were suffi? ciently serious to call for instant ac? tion. He, ai'ter all, it was contended, wa>- the ultimate responsible head of the city, and inasmuch as the safety and interests of the entire population et' the city were concerned, the matter should properly claim his attention. It was intimated that future action of the body will be governed by the Mayor's attitude. If he attempts to let the issue lie "dead as the funeral of Moses," il was stated that Governor Smith will be asked to start.an inquiry. ? ver other steps the Citizens Union would be forced (o take to have the affair thoroughly sifted members of the union pointed out thai the Mayor would no longer be in a posi? tion to say that the matter was noi taken up with the proper authorities. In the light of recen', reflections made by Mr. Hylan on the organization, it is felt, however, thai his refusal to take action is a foregone conclusion. Conference Will liujuire Into ?Need Of 8-Ceii 1 Fares Sub-Committee To Be Named to investigate Operating Costs, Fixed Charges and Other Traction Expense A thorough investigation into 'he ? perating costs. fixed charges and other expenses of the traction com? panies in the city of New York, to ascertain whether the various com? panies are entitled to an eight-cent tare, is now being undertaken by the New Vori. City Transit Conf?rence. This body,, composed of members representing nineteen business or li :al ?oi - of the city, held a lunch? eon m the Hankers' Club yesterday, following which a discussion of tue entire situation took place. agreed that Lee Kuhns, presi? dent of the New Voik Hoard of Trade and Transportation, and chairman of tl committee, snail appoint a sub? committee to confer with the City Controller or other i iv officials toi h s cert a ;n their r.ttitudc and the grounds on which this attitude is ! based. The members appear to favor a thorough investigation of the enure What the committee is ter gard to figures is illustrated .n a resolution, offered by John M. D?niai I of the Queensborough mbei of Commerce, at the meeting of the main committee, which ; on Januarj '.', and which was adopted. This resolution reads: "He il resolved, thai a special com 'mittee be appointed by the chair to make a thorough investigation in'to the operating costs, fixed charges and other expenses of the traction com? panies of the city of New York and report hack to this body." | It was explained by Secretary Gar? dener of the New York Board of Trade and Transportation, and who is also chairman of the Transit Conference, thai the preferential in the contract cb the city entered into with the traction companies in March, 1913, ??'.ill be thi ibject of investigation also. Mr. Gardener said the investiga? tion had been undertaken because of the fact that the traction companies applied to the Board of Estimate and lortionment of the City of New York in December of last year, for the cancelling of that part of the lease which the city entered into with the companies in 1913, which calls for a uve cent fare. In other words, the traction companies sought to waive | this provision of the agreement as one of the contracting parties. Thin re? quest was ''?c fused. The meeting yesterday, after agree? ing to the appointment of a sub-com : mittee to confer with city officials, ' and after some discussion on the col lecting of necessary information, ad? journed 'o meet again at the call of Chairman Kohns. ; i ? # Commission Advises Tax lo Aid Trolleys - Massachusetts Officials See No Other Way to Avoid More Fare Increases BOSTON, Feb.

The commis inner;. j| say the first step in this direction ] should be to relieve street railways of special taxer-, and public charges, "We believe," the report adds, "that the most urgent need of the present situation i? to take measures that will Hot only Have the public from further increases of fare which are now immi? nent, but will permit gradual reduc? tion of prenant fare? to a more mod ernt? level." The report argues that street rail way* are of great community benefit, which can be measured by the losses in industry, trade, real estate values and other form? of community wealth : such facilities suddenly were 'j blotted out. World Prohibition Is Not League Plan, Savs Maver Levy Maver, consulting counsel for! the wet interests in the ficht lo have nullified the prohibition amendment to to the Constitution, declared yesterday that, in his opinion, the oelion in ar? ticle XIX or the Constitution of the league of nations providing for pro? hibition of th.' liquor traille ie col? onies and territories no longer under the sovereignty of their former gov? ernments, represented regulation for protection o?" barbarous race-. D was entirely similar, he said, to laws existing in this country for years prohibiting the selling of liquor to In? dian.-. Mr. Mayer gave no indication that he regarded this section of the covenant as a sten toward international proh ?hit ?on. the legal battle against the prohibi? tion amendment, Mr. Mayer said, would be led in Ohio, by Lawrence Maxwell. of Cincinnati, and in California by Theodore A. Bell, jr., of San Francisco. The announcement of attorneys inother states ?ill be made shortly.

Department of Labor, in a statement issued lasl night, urges the states to get busy in availing themselves of the unexpended balances already allotted I them out of the Federal fund. In this way, the statement say-, the surplus of labor can at. once be taken care of in large measure, and business gener? ally stimulated. Appropriations made by Congress to pay the Federal government's propor? tion of the cost of state road-build mir projects now total $48,500,000, says the statement, yet of the 760 road projects which have been approved by the gov-j eminent, involving 7,869.61 miles of road, less than forty-live miles have been constructed under the Federal aid plan. Analyzing the status of the various' projects for Federal aid in the different states already approved, the state? ment shows thai thirteen projects for | New York State have been approved, totalling 61.02 miles at an estimated cos; of $1,201,662.85, of which the Federal government would furnish half, or $600,831.42.

Knapp, president of the State Tax Commission, urged last night at a meeting of the Brooklyn Young Republican Club the imposi? tion of a small tax upon all incomes, regardless of the source. It would be: the lii.ii.-i way, he said, of making up the revenue deficit, which be esti? mated would amount, to $25,000,000 for this city this year, unless the Legis tature discovered some new source. Thirteen million dollars were re? quired, he said, to pay the inter?s! and provide for the principal of the funded debt of the state, or one-tenth' of I per cent of the assessed value . of the real and personal property in the state. Under these circumstances New York's share of the direct, tax' would be about $17,500,000 Th sum, with the amount neces .11 '.i make up the loss of revenue from local liquor taxes, would make ! about $25,000,000 which the city would : have to raise by direct levy upon its real and personal property assessments. 10 on Trial at One?* Charged With Conspiracy to De? fraud I .

The fifth was published in '?'lie Tribune yesterday. The sev? enth will appear in. to-morroio's Tribune. By Arthur Woods, Cornier Police Commissioner of New York City The laws that, have been enacted in Washington and by state legislatures "or the purpose 01 suppressing and eott rolling the drug evil have been more or ;ess successful. They have been sue- ; .?ossful in thai the whole thing is now; ujrainst the law; they have been un? successful in that, no appreciable prog? ress has been made in reducing the number of victims. From a medical or reformatory point )f view these cases are mosl difficult to ?ure. There are treatments which cer? tainly have had effect, but the etl'ect is i physical one only, having as its pur lose such a cleansing of the human system as shall remove the craving for .lie drug which rendered I he patient lowcrless to resist it. The treatment does not provide a demising of the victim's moral nature; t does not inject, stiffening into the lackbone; it does not furnish new ac luaintances or new surroundings for he patient racked by both the. disease mil Us cure, or a new environment vhich shall give him a different out ool; on life from what he had before, tie is "cured," but he is not made stronger to resist the temptation he fielded to before, and from force of lircumstances he probably will go back o live under the same conditions which "ailed to prevent his falling before. Our experience seems to indicate that n order to convert a drug user into i healthy citizen again you must have,: irst, a deep desire on bis part to shake \ iff the grip that has been squeezing ii'e out oi him; then you must iclp him along by medical treatment. if some kind, with occasional stimula ion and nourishment, until he physi ully is free of the clutch of the drug; md after this well, it is really here hat the actual "euro" begins, and this leginning is not a matter of adminis 'iii!;v drugs or putting behind barred lour-; it i - a matter of an individual's .djusting himself to his environment,. iy trood fortune or by his own perse-j ?cr?neo or by the help of friends it oes not matter which?adjusting him elf so that he can go ahead, continue ?is life without enslavement. For it is pure state of slavery that he is in '.'bile the drug is his master, while he; anno) get away from it. while he has! 0 obey its hebest at any cost and re jardless of how it may violate his prin ?ples of life. It is a far more genuine ;.-e of slavery than existed between he Southern planter and his human hat tels. In the long run it is a "losing Rame to; ry to meet this ouest ion as we are low trying. State laws are weak, be ausc it is so easy to get over the bor ler into another state. The govern-: nent regulatory laws have been help ul and have accomplished h certain imount of good, but all our laws and I .11 our regulations have fallen so far ihort of stamping out the drug traffic hai, we cannot for a moment, real sat sfied with the present method--. We jelieve that there is no effective way if coping with the evil except by dras ic Federal legislation, which absolute y prohibits; and what ii does not pro libit it monopolizes. If no drug could i ?unie into the country or be made ill; he country except as brought in or Manufactured by the government, and hen be distributed by a careful system if licenses, so that it would surely fall nto the hands only of reputable doc ors, we should come pretty close to ihutting off the .source, of supply, and ,ve could then begin to try to accom ilish the "cure'' of the victims who are tow among us, without being oppressed by the gloomy thought that for every une patient, cured probably a dozen ; TioiT had fallen victims. Nothing will! mswer short of absolute prohibition,! and with human nature as it is there | is no way that prohibition can Vie ac? complished except by the strong arm of j t'ne government. Warning Is Issued Wo ure told that drastic action of ? (his kind would be unconstitutional. If! this is no, if absolute Federal control ! of habit-forming drugs cannot be as-1 Rtimed by the Federal government, it is certainly time that the country should | be apprised of the situation and should realize that we have this eager, insid? ious, death dealing disease sneaking and stealing about in our midst, cor? rupting our boys and girls, making them Blaves to i*s malicious will, de? bauching their bodies and their souls, driving them to crime, to unnatural vice, and making them in turn its own missionaries of destruction. If we are right, in sizing up the character and extent of the evil, the difficulty oT cure, the frightful effect of the habit once achieved, and if we are further right in concluding as a re? sult of the most earnest, effort to battle with this dragon under existing laws, that there is no way to subdue it ex? cept, through Federal monopoly and control, then we can arrive at no" other conclusion than that if the Constitu tion will not. permit this there must be remedial action by those that, have power.

(?imboal. bul ( Irew Wo 11 W i v c\s A group of American navy men, who basked m the favor of the "Unspeak? able Turk" for some eighteen moons on the deck of the gunboat Scorpion jusl inside the Golden Horn, came back home yesterday on the transport Dante Alighieri. They had been prisoners with limited liberty, but their Turkish captors were ''no', a half-had lot," they said. The women of Constantinople were fair to look upon, with sweet voices and modest mien, and some of the Scorpion's crew married and stayed behind with their Turkish wives. The Scorpion had been in foreign water. for nearly live years and chanced to he off Constantinople when America entered the war. The Turks were not in liaste to seize the ship Inn. forced by Gorman pressure, the gun boat was taken and her men were made prisoners aboard. It was a gentlemanly capture and '.?> unnecessary hardships were impo ed. Back in November, 1016, ? :.'-. en sailormen from the gunboal married "daughters of the Crescent" and this might have had some influence, they though', with t he i'oi te in ordi ring decent treatment for the captives.

He shook my hand, and looking me straight in the eye, said. 'Commander, 1% like to be going back with you, bul m.v heart is here.

Bra British Importers And Manufacturers < lonf er on Embargo Meeting Trade by Trade to Decide Restrictions on Foreign Goods; Tariff' Kates To Be Set Later ??<. York Tribune European Bureau 3 l 1919 Ne \ York Tribune Ii c ) LONDON, Feb. 17.?-In consequence of protests by British manufacturer?; ' against removing of the embargo on American and other foreign importa? tions into England, trade conferences are now being held between British j manufacturers and importers to decide what limits '-hall be placed on the ; entry of foreign articles. A decision already has been reached in the boot/ | and shoe and rubber and typewriter trades, and the decision of automobile manufacturers and importers is ex? pected this week. Sir Albert Stanley, president of the Board of Trade, promised a deputation of British manufacturers that from .March 1 the import embargo would again be placed upon forty-nine ar? ticles freed from restrictions last De ceniber. It was on the suggestion of Sir Alheii that British manufacturers and importers are meeting, trade by trade, to decide upon the quantities of foreign importations agreeable to both sides. The,importers of American goods in England assert that British manufac? turers cannot supply the whole market. Tiny also demand the right to reopen their business, On the fit her hand, British manufacturers s'unnort. the theory that foreign importation should as far as possible be suppressed in order to supply the greatest amount of work to the returning soldiers. It' is believed that avoidance of industrial troubles depends upon forbidding the ; entry of foreign manufactured articles and preventing the immigration of for? eign labor. The manufacturers also have the moral support of Premier Lloyd George's promise of protection for British industries. I1 v.uuld appear from the results of the trade conferences already held that the views of the manufacturers are on vailing. In the boot and shoe trade the importation of Amercian goods has been limited to -?-r> per cent of the 1913 i in poi tal ion. Socialists (iiinT Rent Halls; Appeal to Police Delegation Calls at Headquar? ters to Say Owners Think Meetings Are Illegal Socialists yesterday complained to ?'.; ?

Burnett Wolff arid Evans Clark, director of the Socialist aldermanic delegation re ' seach bureau. The delegation was referred to Third Deputy Commissioner A. D. Porter. They furnished a list i"' halls in Manhattan, the owners of which will not now rent their premises ti Socialists. The delegation left the I'ollwing letter with Commissioner Por? ter with the request that it, or a sim? ilar communication, be signed by Com pi - - ?oni r Enrigbt : "The Socialist party in this citj has . as much rieht, under the laws and con? stitution of the state, to hold public meetings as any other legitimate politi? cal party.

Y.. Feb. k' 17.?Four small boys will be unable to attend the "funeral" of their school teacher, Miss Maud Stewart and profess pro? found regret. They are unavoid? ably detained by the police for inserting the following obituary notice in a local newspaper to? day: "Miss Maud A. Stewart died yesterday mornig of heart trou? ble. Death came as a complete shock to her famiy and many friends. The funeral will beheld Wednesday from her late home, 310 Summit Avenue, and thence to the Jewish Synagogue in Nott Terrace. Friends and relatives are invited to the funeral." When Miss Stewart read it at her "late home" this morning she. made it her business to find out where the newspaper got the in? formation and then had the boys arrested. Suffragists in Boston Would 'Heckle" Wilson BOSTON. Mass.. Feb. IT. Suffrag? ists here are in a hot controversy as to whether they shall "heckle" Presi? dent Wilson when he makes his brief visit to this city. The "militants" are dead set on the heckling, while the conservatives are opposed to such tactics and would pay him honor in? stead. ft i-' mainly the National Woman's party that would hold the hostile demonstration. When their purpose gecame known th^ey were subjected to lutter attacks by other suffragists. As a whole the Political Equality Lcapne, with Mrs. Susan W. Fitzgerald at is iiead, and the Massachusetts Suffrage Association, condemned the plan. The authorities took action to-day to make a demonstration against the Presiden! as difficult as possible. Police officials announced that no per? son- excepl those with unquestionable credentials would be allowed within 1,200 feet of the commonwealth docks when the George Washington tied up and I !-.<> party landed. Superintendent of Police Crowley said to-day he would "take :.>> non? sense" from any one seeking to trouble the President in this city. Mrs. Agnes Morey. head of the Na? tional Woman's party here, when asked whether their plans would he carried through, said : "1 have not received orders from Washington and until then I cannot speak. Any demonstration here would not he a local hut a national affair. I -hall call a meeting to-morrow." Kelief Film Reeommeinled Mrs. Oliver Harriman, chairman of the National Motion Picture Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief, yester doj appealed for a larger attendance at. the showing this week of the "Rav? ished Armenia" pictures in the ball? room of the Hotel Plaza. "While I am immensely p.eased at the sale of the tickets," said Mrs. Harriman, "1 am disappointed ??<. the slim attendance we have been getting. ! think if my friends only knew the nature of this picture, they would not fail to attend. It is not a war picture at all. hut it is a picture containing scenes that could not he shown m any other manner. It show's just what the Germans and Turks think of woman? kind the world over; it comes as ue-ir as it is possible through the medium of tiie motion picture, to showing the frightful manner in which women have beer, maltreated where the Ger? man and Turk have been permitted to \\ erk their will. "! consider it the paramount duty of every person w ho buys ticke!? 'o come au?; see this picture, although 1 am afraid that perhaps a majority of those who have tickets are delaying their attendance until the last days of the week. 1 hope this is not the case, as the capacity of the ballroom is limited to 600." f.\KS?TIRES?BODlEs-Tt BBS CLEANING OUT WINTER AUTOS Demonstration?
