olonel Henry L. Stimson, counsel
Receiver Hedges, opposed tlie ap
cation. He argued that the two
mplaining lines were trunk lines,
nnecting many of the leased and
lerated lines of the system. He said
.??ir franchise rights are involved

What We Pay For
1. Seicheprey
WAXON storm troops in ihe Toui sector swept forward at 5 a. rn.
April 20. 1918. on a front of 2,l> kilometres. The mon of the
'2t>th New England divisuon facing them wero ovcrwhelmed and
driven back. flghting desperately. Seicheprey was lost, and at points
the Germans penetrated to a depth of two kilometres. Germany
officially claimed 183 prisoners and asserted that Seicheprey was
"ful! of American dead."
A tremendous barrage was laid down upon Seicheprey. Shells
were used without stint. Tons upon tons of metal, explosives and
Kas wero hurtled upon the territory that was to be regained. It
was regained. The Americans reoccupicd it. Thcy did not stop to
.ount the cost.
THIS IS VICTORY. ARE YOU GOING TO PAY IT?
argued against tho applications. Ho
called attention '.o the provisions of i
the Public Service Commissions law |
enacted by tho Legislature of 1910.
He arg'ue.l that tho Public Service
Commission is the only proper tribunal
before which application can bc made
to abrogate and discontinue the exist
ing freo transfer privileges.
"I do not know that the lessors are
entitled to much consideration," stated
Mr. Burr. "The Eighth Avenuo Rail?
ways Company pays 261! per cent on
capitalization and tho Xinth Avenue
concern between 12 and 13 pcr cent,
the payments being made from rentals
received from the Xew York Railways
Companv. The Xew York Railways
pays Sl.9114.000 in rentals of this kind."

Automotives
There aro seventeen entries thus far
for the DOO-mile automobile race to be
run May .'11 on the Indianapolis specd
\vay.# This is to be called the Liberty
sweepstakes. The drivers and their
cars are:
Clifford Durant. Chevrolet Special;
Dario Resta, Sunbeam; W. W. Brown,
Richards Special; Earl Cooper. Stut'/.;
Eddie O'Donnell, Duesenberg; Kurt
Hitke, Roamer-Ducsenberg; Ralph De
Palma, Packard Special; Denny Hickey,
Stickel Special; Arthur Thurman,
Thurman Special; Ralph Mulford,
Front4?nac; .lean Chassagne. Sunbeam;
Jules Goux, Peugeot; Louis Chevrolet,
(not named); Tommy Milton, Duesen?
berg; Eddie Hearne, Durant Special;
Lauis LeCocq, Roamer Special, and H.
C. Simmons, Hudson Special.
The car that Brown will drive, al
, though named a "Richards Special," is
a Hudson supcr-six, save for the fact
that instead of having only single
valves the valve equipment has been
doubled. It cannot. under tho rules
be raced as a Hudson. because of these
changes, but basically it still is a Hud?
son car.
The first of the foreign drivers have
sailed for thia country. They are .Jules
Goux, who won the 1913 race on the
speedway; Andro Boillot and .Ican
Chassagne. Louis Coatalen, manag
ing director of the Sunbeam plant,
is coming along. Boillot, it is reported,
is bringing over a small edition of the
famous Peugeot speed car. He is a
brother of Georges Boillot. a former
speed king, wlu. was killed in an air
action the second year or the war.
Goux will drivf the Peugeol car whicl'.
belongs to the speedway organization.
He will look for several c;.rs to repre?
sent in France on his return.
Coatalen is here on business, as he
has signed Dario Resta to be Sunbeam
agent for this country. Resta. who
will be in business in Xew York, will
drive a Sunbeam at, Indianapolis.
The oil from freshly tarred roads
can he harmful to tires, it" it is per
mitted to stay on the easing and to
work its way into thr rubber, which is
porous. It. is recommended hy 'ho
United States Tire Company that
motorists take pains to remove any oil
that has adhered to the tires immedi
ately after passing over an oiled
stretch. The best way is to vvipe the
tire cnrefully and then to spongo it
with gasoline. Tire casings which
havo been spotted with oil will wear
out faster in those spots.

Rents Problem
To Be Studied
Bv Committee
.>ix So Br .Yppointcil by
Nathan Hirsch to Work
Out Pliui lo Encourage
Puilding of Apartments
As the first step toward solving Now
York's housing problem Nathan Hir ch,
chairman of the Mayor's Committee on
Rent Profiteering, announced yester
.1.1 our
of six to work out n plan to encourage
building and to seek a way of amend
ing thc farmers' loan law 50 as to
make it apply to builders. .Mr. Hirsch's
announcement followed a mi < ting of
thc Mayor's committee, the State Re?
construction Commission and the \Vel
'?aw Committ ic of t ie Board of Alder?
men, called to investigate the matter
of excessivc rents.
Commissioner of Tenements Frank
Mann, who was at the meeting, offered
some interesting figures on vacant ten
ement property. He placed the total '
number of vacancies at only 'J.1S per 1
cent of a total of Q82.92C apartmenta in
the city, The ??:,:.' r part of these
vacancies, he deciared. were 10 be found
,11 the lower E"asl Side.
Commissioner Mann said there were
2,372 vacanl apartments among thc
buildings erected under the new build?
ing law. This is only six-tenths of 1
per cent, he said. In the older build
ings, the commissioner said, there were
19,110 vacancies, or a total of ,",.25 per
cent.
The joint meeting of the commit?
tees disclosed the fact that there was
a wide difference of opinion as to the
proper method of hclping conditions.
Incidentally, it was found that there
was no single plan which met with the
approval of all the committoes.
Aldcrman William ('. Robeson ad
vocated dropping all publicity con
cerning the problem.
"Increased building is necessary." ho
said, "and you are scaring the capital?
ist, builder and landlord to death.
They will not tal.e a chancc on build
' ing if they think some unknown agency
, is to fix their rentals ,,,- determine
their profits. There is less actual
profiteering going on than is generally
\ supposed."
Commissioner Mann agreed with
Alderman Robeson.
"The real estate business never has
paid the same return on investment as
other business," he said. "When a
landlord increases rentals 27. per cent
he is only increasing his profits 5 per
cent."
('hai rman Hirsch of the Mayor's
committee differed with the commis?
sioner and the alderman. declaring
; that his committee had received and
investigatcd many cases of extortion.
Chairman 'William T. Collins, of the
Committee of General Welfare of tlie
Board of Aldermen, said:
"I know cases where rents have been
increased thirty or forty per cent in
a short time. Many oi' the rent in?
creases are justiiied, but. the man who
increases rents unjustitiably ought to
be curbed. We should issue a state?
ment reassuring the landlords who are.
.doing the right thing, but we have
got to get at the ilagrant violators
and let them know we are going after
them. There are lots of things that
can be done to them."

\3 Men and I Girl
At Mercy ol Seas
All Night on Sloop
Fishhig Party Narrowly
Escapes Shipwreck on
Rockaway Beaeli When
Mishap ^Kills"' Engine
One young woman and thirteen mon
who went fishing Sunday morning in j
tho power sloop Widgeon landed at
Canarsie yesterday morning after a I
night at sea which brought them nearcr
shipwreck than they hope ever to be
again. Kor hours they had drifted '
slowly toward the breakers on Rock?
away Beach while the motor dorics in
which coast guardsmen tried to reach
them were swamped and rollcd on the
sand !>y the breaking waves.
Louise Cromwcll, the only woman in :
thc party. !.-. ninctoen years old and
had thirteen votes i'or the title of ?
heroinc. Sho livos at 157 Cooper Street !
aml had boon persuaded by Frank '
Wa"gner, of 260 Stanhope Street, Brook?
lyn, to go with him on George Holz
man's boat and learn how to catc'.-i ling.
Thero were cleven other ling fisher
ment aboard.
They dropped nnihor in sighf of tho
Ambrose Lightship, but tho ftsh didn't
bite, so they started for now grounds
when the motor blew out a gasket aml
water got into tho engine. Tho boal
,-lid off into tho trough of the son and
every four or five minutes a big groon
wave would peek ovor the weather rail
and slosh fifty or --ixty gallons of
water aboard.
Mis3 Cromwcll and tho fishermen
began to bale while Holzman and
Christopher Stheer attempted to D\
the motor. Presently several of tho
mon were overcome by seasickness and
had to desert tho bucket hrigadc.
The anchor was dropped. lt kept
tho Widgeon's nosc into thc wind. but
didn't stay her progrpss to any great
extent. Pragging along ihe sea h..t
ti.m it frequently snubbed the boat's
prow at a critical juncture and more
green water came aboard. It began to
gr*ow dark and '.he "dead" motorboat
was being driven slowly up tlio, Long
I land shore.
By rmdnight ihoso on t!ie Wido-con
could hear the roar of thc surf on
Rockaway and soon afterward flares
on shore showed that their plight had
been seen.
Coast guard men from Arverne
joined those from Rockaway Beach
and with doublo crew manning the
gunwales they strove to launch first
one motor iife boat and then the
other. Three times the Rockaway boat
was capsized and twice that. from Ar
verne.
At 2 a. m. when the Widgeon was
within 200 yards of the beach *'^\-u.l |
try was made with the anchor and it
took hold. i
About dawn the guardsmen got
their lifeboats to take to the water.
Soon after they had got a line aboard
the Widgeon the police boat Patrol
appeared and relieved them of their
charge. The Patrol towed the Widge?
back to Canarsic.
