Teachers' Pay Bill
Vetoed by Mayor;
Walker Law Signed
Latter Measure Legalizes
Craig Settlements With
Subway Contractors; Civ
ic Protests Disregarded
Mayor Hylan announced yesterday
that he had vetoed the Lockwood-Fer
tiff bill, providing equal pay for
teachers in the elementary schools, rc
gardless of scx.
"This bill is mandatory legislation,"
said the Mayor. "If approved it will
place a burden on tho taxpayers of
from $10,000,000 to $20,000,000, whtch
would incrcase the tax rate from
twelve to thirty points. Large owners
of real property admlt that any in
crease in taxes or carrying charges on
real estate is passed along to the rent
payer by increasing his rent."
The Mayor, who ha3 established n
precedent by refus'.ng to announce
what action is taken on each bill sent
to him by the Legislature, did not
announco what he had done with the
Walker bill, establishing a super police
force of 25,000 men, who may be paid
any salary the local authorities seo fit,
and who will be exempt from all civil
?ervice rules.
The Mayor also was silent on what
action he took on the bill limiting the
tax on real property to $2.25 on each
$100 o? assessed valuation.
Branded Measures Signed
An examination in Albany of the
measures returned to the Governor by
the Mayor up to yesterday disclosed
that the Mayor had acted on sixty-two
other bills. Thirty-two of them, includ
ing measures branded as vicious by
various civic associations and members
of the Legislature, were signed by the
Mayor. These will become law unless
the Governor vetoes them.
The examination also revealed that
the Mayor had approved the Walker
bill legalizing the settlements made
by Controller Craig for hundreds of
thousands of dollars with contractors.
It has been charged that most of these
settlements were in excess of the losses
sustained by the subway contractors
as the result of the higher prices for
labor and commodities caused by the
war.
One of the thirty measures vetoed
was the Kaplan bill, which sought to I
abate the Riverside Drive nuisance by ;
forbidding the operation of slaughter
houses, soap and glue factories, tur- '
pentine or bone boiling establishments, '
dumps or other noxious or offensive
establishments on Riverside Park after ?
May 1, 1920.
Important among the bills approved i
was the McElligott measure which per
mits the retirement on pension of any
officer "whether appointed or elected"
by the Board of Estimate. Under the '
provisinns of this bill, it is charged,
scores of politicians who have been
feeding at the public trough for years j
could be retired on a pension.
Gerrymandering Bill Approved
The Downing bill paving the way for
the rewarding of some faithful Tam
manyito by gerrymandering the First
and Second Municipal Court districts
and providing for the election of an
additional judge in the reapportioned
Second District was also approved.
So was the Burlingame bill permit
ting the retirement of policemen on
pensions after twenty years of service,
regardless of their age or physical
condition. The law at present provides
the appiicant for retirement shall be
fifty-hve years old and must submit
to a physical examination.
Another bill, which haa been charac
terized as bad legislation, is tho Wal?
ker bi il providing for the appointment
as referees of former judges of the
City Court. This was one of the so
called special bills attacked by the
Bar Association.
Other measures approved by the
Mayor include:
Raising the salaries of all borough
presidents to $10,000. They now re
ceive from $5,000 to $7,500.
Abolishing the court house board and
placing in the hands of the Hylan ad
ministration the disposal of the site
acquired at an expense of $13,000,000.
Making it majidatory upon the au?
thorities to keep women arrested dur?
ing labor disputes away from street j
walkers and other prisoners.
Other Bills Signed
Permitting Rachel L. Bartlett, Li
brarian of District Attorney Swann's
offlce, to be retired on a pension.
Establishing a law library on Staten j
Island for the use of the justices of the ?
Suprern? Court.
Extending the use of summonses in j
lieu of arrests to other misdemeanors I
besides traffic violations. The magis- '
tratea are to determine the misde- |
rneanors which shall not of necessity
result in arrest.
Permitting magistratcs to dispose of
a number of petty crimes which now
are sent to Special Sessions.
Razing the "L" tracks running from
Third Avenue to the Grand Central
Terminal.
Permitting the sinking fund to cedo
city owned land in Brooklyn under
water to the Department of Docks.
Ho:ne of the bills vetoed provided
for pensior.s and salary raises for all
claxges of city employes, and a meas
ur'; agitated by the reaidents of Rich
mond Borough for the creation of a
department of ferries, with a resident
of Staten Island as the head.

U-BOAT COMMEMORATES THE LUSITANIA'S SINKING
AN UGLY. low-lying boat, the German submarine UC-97,
?**- made her way down New York harbor toward Sandy
Hook yesterday afternoon. On her deck lay a wreath of
laurel, woodbine and fcrn, bound with a broad purple rib
bon bearing the words:
"In memoriam?Luuitania."
Near the mouth of Ambroso Channel the nubmarine's'
motors stopped, and the boat lay partly awash ln the
3HX
Copyright, Underwood & L'n.lerwood
choppy sea. The skipper issued a command in a soft voice,
and up went the church flag, the Stars and Stripes, and
underneath these the German ensign.
The crew gathered in a semi-circle about the wreath and
uncovered. Then a bugle sounded "Taps." With the last
note the wreath fell to the surface of the sea.
Silent as her sister ship Ifter her murderous deed of
May 7, 1915, the UC-97 stole away.

Hazel Dawn is scoring a great per?
sonal success as Mabel in "Up in
Mabel's Room" at the Eltinge Theatre,
but she is dissatislied. She misses her
familiar violin, her tuneful numbers
and the delectable background of musi
.^m
cal comedy. Confiding her longings to
A. H. Woods, he agreeably gave her a
contract for a star part in "Call a
Taxi," by Earle Carroll, which he will
produce next season. In this she will
play a violin solo.
Robinson Newbold, of "A Royal Vag
abond," says even a little flea' has its
uses. He sold $2,800 worth of Victory
notes with this one last night:
A little flea sat on a rock,
Making a miserable sound.
He didn't know what to do with himself,
There being no dog around.

New League Formed
By N. Y. Women to
Force Suffrage
"One Language, One Flag!"
To Be Slogan of Reorgan
ized Party; Americaniza
tion To Be Stressed
"A city in which all voters speak
j English, read their own ballots, and
honor the American flag" is the plat
form of tho new League of Women
Voters of New York City, which is
, the reorganized form of the New York
! City Woman Suffrage Party. The new
; name was adopted at a city committee
; meeting Monday. Henceforth, New
, York suffragists will work under the
National League of Women Voters,
which was organized at the recent
national suffrage convention in St.
Louis.
Miss Hay Explains Plans
Miss Mary Garrett Hay, chairman
of the City League of Women Voters,
said yesterday:
"City suffragists will work as faith
fully for the Federal suffrage amend
ment and for its ratification by the
! Legislature of New York and of other
i states under the new name as under
j the old. In addition, we shall take a
strong interest in legislation affecting
i women and children in industry, in the
; unification of the laws, in Americaniza
tion problems and in election methods
I and reforms. We shall adopt as our
| main purpose, after woman suffrage is
j won, the purpose of the national
; League of Women Voters,
"Under our new name we shall at
tract to our organization hundreds of
women who wish to work with us, but
; who feel that the woman suffrage title
! should be discarded now that New York
women are enfranchised. We shall re
! main organized exactly as we have been
for years, with district groups and
?? leaders in every As3embly district and
| with captains in every election dis
! trict, all working under borough or
' ganizations and directed by a city
chairman and city committee.
Prominent Women Aid
"From all parts of the city we have
( received applications for membership
! in the new league from women who
| have studied its aims and plans. The
s only opposition we have encountered
, is that of the ultra antis or ultra par
j tisans, ancl it comes from men and
j women who either do not understand
I our objects or who refuse to consider
j them carefully.
j "We hope "that at the end of fivo
I years we shall have made such a rec
' ord as to justify our existenco and to
attract to our work men and women
from all parties to further the general
good of our big city."
Prominent women who will work in
the new league are Mrs. Charles L.
Tiffany, Miss Adaline Storling, Mrs. F.
Louis Sladc, Mrs. Thomas B. Wells,
Mrs. William G. Willcox, Mrs. H. Ed
, ward Dreier, Mrs. Rosalio Loew Whit
j ney, Mrs. David R. Rodger, Mrs. Iler

j and Mrs. Margaret Chanler Aldrich.
Ford's $1,000,000 Libel
Suit Opens on Monday
"Chicago Tribune," Defendant,
Alleged to Have Called Auto
Maker an Anarchist
Special Correspcmdcncn
DETROIT, May 7. ? The stage has
been set at Mount Clemcns for the
trial of Michigan's greatest libel suit,
which is to begin next Monday. The
suit was brought hy Henry Ford
nearly three years ago against "Tho
Chicago Tribune." The sum asked by
the automobile buildcr is 51,000,000.
Tho trouble arose from a twelve
line article in "Tho Tribune" headed
"Flivver Patriotism," nnd an editorial
which referred to Ford as an "an?
archist," because, as tho dispatch pub
I lished the previous day announced, his
| employes who volunteered to bear
i arms for the United States in the
I Mexican trouble would lose their jobs
; and no provlsion would he mado for
the support of their wives and fami
lies while they wore awny.
! Among "The TribunoV' defences is
cited tho attitude of Henry Ford
j against proparedness, nnd tho alleged
| duty which the Chicago newspaper
owed its renders to comment on Ford's
action in rcjrard to the mnttor.
The suit was liled in tho Chicago
Federal Court in tho lntter part of
1910. Ford's nttorncys dismiissed tho
actipn in Chicago, however, and started
a Blmllar one in tho Wayne County
(Mlchlgan) Circuit Court.
Thin ndvantago for the Ford lntor
eats wns destined to bo lost, and later
a chango of venuo was granted "The
Tribune" and tho caso sont to Mount
Clemens, Jn an ndjoinlng county.

Drama
"Toot
Sweet" Presented
the Princess
Theatre
at
By Heywood Broun
There were times last night when
"Toot Sweet" achieved the true ama
teur atmosphere which Is seldom at
tained except by well trained profes
sionals. In these irnpromptu phases
it was an agreeable and diverting en
tertainment. Only when it became set
was it dull and perfunctory. Will
Morrissey was able to maintain the
cooked-while-you-wait spirit a3 long
as he was on the stage. His absences
were gonerally deplorable, for he
seemed last night one of the cleverest
exponents of that easy school of com?
edy which is the gift of a few experi?
enced players.
None of his associates was able to
contnbuto anything half so good, al?
though there was some clever dancing
by Clarence Nordstrom and by Harry
Miller and Sam Ward. Elizabeth Brice
and Edward Miller sang passably well.
lhe rest of the performance was thin
and ineffectivc. Morrissey, however,
was on the stage most of the time and
his individual efforts sufficed to keep
the performance at a gay pitch. He
exploited the American reaction to
France humorously, even though this
is a field which has been v/orked ex
tensively for a season or two. Never
theless it is a still fertile field of gen
uine comedy which has its roots in
lact.
Quite the best part of the enter
tainment came not so much from pre
viously prepared lines as from those
which Morrisey made up as he went
along. Thus, we nre not in a position
to predcit accurately just what the
pertormance will be to-morrow night
or the next one. It may suit Morris?
sey s whim almost any evening to
throw the whole show away and make
up another. Still the chances are that
it will be good . Morrissey auctioned
or? his collar at the Allied Bazaar a
few years ago for $2,400, so there
seems to be no reason to doubt that he
will always be able to sell his show
even though it is frayed and worn in
spots.
The lyrics of the pieee are by Ray
mond B. Egan and the music by Rich
ard A. Whiting. The author of the
book is set down as Everbdfly. Mor?
rissey and Elizabeth Brice were mem?
bers of the Margaret Mayo Shock Unit
in France, which was one of the most
successfu) groups of entertainers sent
to the American army. "Toot Sweet"
includes much of the material which
they used abroad. It is plotless and
almost without scenery and the cos
tumes are of the simplest. Personally
we found it, in spite of dull patches,
rather more entertaining than the
average pretentious musical comedy.
Rand School Opens
Proletariat Playhouse
The People's House, otherwise
known as the Rand School, last night
ulded a People's Playhouse to the other
activities in its building, and inaugu
rated it last night with a bill of three
original one-act plays. All three plays
are handicapped by a heavy weight of
propaganda, and only one of them
rises above the dead weight of its
messago and develops a character and
motivating power of its own. This is a
sordid but compelling little tragedy of
poverty, whrch forced an orthodox and
rlevoted wife of a Jewish sweatshop
worker to sell herself to make up the
weekly dcficit between her husband's
inadequate wages and the remorselcss
cost of living. Her husband, stunned
and horribly shaken by the realization
of her sacrifice, would forgive her, but
tho. law steps in and brands her a
coramon prostitute.
Another play is an obscure and in
L'onclusivc war drama by Rose Pastor
Stokes, callcd "On the Day, a Crime
in Two Acts," in which an attempt to
show the analogy between war and in
lividual murder results somewhat in
sptly, dramatically.
The third, a comedy, by Tracy D.
Mygatt, entitled "Thim Socialists," is
startlingly vivid proof that propa
;andists are seldom humorists. Only
the most devoted Rand School adher
rsnts found this amusing.

WomanChooses Chemical
Instead of Housework
May E. McGovern Says War
Gave Her Chance to Make
Mark in Business World
"Fd sooner buy and sell chemicals
than sweep, dust or typewrite," con
fesses Miss May E. McGovern, the
youthful head of the chemical depart?
ment of Charles A. Anderson & Co.
"I love my work, and that, it seems
to me, is the secret of success in any
line. I'm not a chemical analyst nor
have I had any special training in
handling chemicals. I started as a
8tenographer and frequently I had to
give orders over the 'phone. That got
me interested. About the time Ger
many declared war I gave up stenog
raphy and devoted my time to buying
and selling chemicals. Now I handle
orders for dealers, exporters, manu?
facturers and consumers.
"The most essential thing is to use
one's eyes^ and ears* to know where
certain commodities can be secured
quickest and cheapest, and to watch
the constant fluctuations of the mar?
ket."
Miss McGovern Is admitted to be
one of the "live wires" of the trade.
She makes her masculine competitors
hustle to keep up with her. At pres?
ent she is concentrating on the growth
of American foreign trade in chemicals.
Music
Columbia Victory Festival
Is Closed With Concert
The final concert in the Victory
Commemoration Festival at Columbia
was held last night in the Columbia
University gymnasium. The Columbia
University chorus, under the direction
of Professor Walter Henry Hall, as
sisted by Mrs. Agnes Alsop Ward, so
prano; Dan Beddoe, tenor, and Robert
Maitland, bass, with an orchestra from
the Philharmonic Society, took part
and the audience was of excellent size.
The programme opened with the
singing by chorus and audience of
"The Star Spangled Banner" and
"Stand, Columbia," followed by Pro?
fessor Hall's own "Te Deum Laud
amus" and Percy E. Fletcher's "A Song
of Victory." The singing of the chorus
was spirited and Professor Hall had
both singers and orchestra admirably
under his control. The latter half of
the concert was composed of excerpts
from "The Messiah."

Historical Bookbindings, Rang
ing From Earliest Forms to
19th Century, Exhibited
A special private vlew was given
yeBterday for representatives of the
press of the exhibition of historical
bookbindings, ranging from the earliest
forms of binding used in Europe to the
end of the eighteenth century, at the
Grolier Club, 47 East Sixtieth Street.
Ladies' day at the club will be to-mor?
row, and the exhibition will be open to
the public from Saturday, May 10, until
June 15.
The exhibition includes the early
gold and bejewelled covers which pro
tected priceless manuscripts, a massive
"chained book," and the leather over
thick boards used by the early printers,
who v.-ere both their own binders and
publishers. These are followed by a
series rich in Deautiful leathers, gold
tooling and mosaic work exemplifying
the work of the great binders of the
sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth
centurie3?the Eves, Le Gascon, Samuel
Mearno, Padeloup, Roger Payne and
many others?and the styles which
characterize successive periods.
There are books with the crescent
and intertwined "H" and "D" of Henri
II and Diane de Poitiers, and with the
design of marguerites used by the
beautiful and learned Margueri'te de
Valois, wife of Henry of Nayarre. A
volume presented by the city of Paris
to Louis XV bears his arms on one
cover and those of the city on the
other, while two of the tragedies of
history are recalled by a book which
was bound for Mary Queen of Scots
during her happy days in France, and
another with which Marie Antoinette
played at the Little Trianon.
There are also many of the treasures
of the library of Jean Grolier, prince
of book collectors of the sixteenth cen?
tury, from whom the Grolier Club
takes its name, and of many more who
set styles in binding, and for whom the
best work of their respective eras was
done.
The total for the sale at the Plaza
Art Rooms yesterday afternoon was
$2,218. Among the purchasers were
Dr. W. Fraley, Mr. Pincknev, Mme.
Bazinet, Mrs. F. K. Thomoson, Miss
Bessio Wynn, Miss Nichols, Miss Con
way and Professor Kiernan. The sale
will continue this afternoon.
The sale of Americana at the Ancler
son Galleries was completed yesterday
morning with a total of $947.45 and a
grand total of $2,278.35. The New York
State Library paid $27 for "Man as He
Appears Around the Globe," by Stuart
and Kuyper; $20 for Juan and Ulloa's
"Secret Notices of South America," and
$20 for "The Friend," a valuable jour
