?JIoranDemaiids HylanWithdraw Curb Bill Veto Threatens to Call Special Session of Aldcrnien to Pass Measure Aimed to Stop Street Brokerage fle Hotly Assails Mayor Declares He Is in Error When He Says Special Privileges Are Granted Robert L. Moran, president of the Board of Aldermen and the recognized | letder of the Democratic majority in : the board, declared yesterday that un- I less Mayor Hylan withdrew his veto of j the Quinn ordinance licensing curb | brokers he would convoke a special ! session of the board, which adjourned ' Monday week for the summer, to pass j *he measure over the Mayor's veto. This ordinance, which was introduced i by Alderman William P. Quinn, a Re- i publican, following disclosures tending! to show that some of the curb brokers j were not keeping faith with their clients, provided that all curb brokers, regardless of where they traded, should pay an annual license fee of $500 to the Commissioner of Licenses. There | were several other drastic provisions . which were eliminated before the Com- i mittee on General Welfare of the j Board reported out the Quinn ordi? nance. The Mayor's veto, according to some aldermen, followed a visit of a dele? gation of curb brokers to the Mayor's , office. Mistake, Says Moran "The Mayor," said President Moran, "was laboring under a great mistake . when he vetoed the message. He did ; not consult a single alderman that I am aware of before taking this action. ! Had he dono so, he would not have : vetoed this message, which is necessary if we are to supervise the curb brokers. ; "The Mayor evidently did not read ' the ordinance when he vetoed it. ; Otherwise, he could not have written in his veto message that the curb ; brokers readily could evade the ordi- ' nance by moving their activities to other quarters within a block or so of; the present site. The fact is that on the day of its passage Alderman Collins, chairman of the Committee on General ' Welfare, amended the measure so that j it applied t? any street in the city of ; New York. Calls It Exclusive Grant "The Mayor is further in error when I he wrote in his veto message that the ? ordinance appears to grant to the said ' association (of curb brokers) an.'ex-j elusive privilege, that is, the privilege ' of selling, exchanging and trading, in ; stock?, at the particular site mentioned.', The very first section of the vetoed ? ordinance^read: 'AH persons dealing in ; i the purchase, sale or exchange of stocks, bonds, notes or securities, in; or upon any street in the City of -New York, shall be deemed curb brokers.' I Surely this is not an exclusive grant. "The reasons set forth by the Mayor I in his veto are not only insufficient, but incorrect. His Honor's failure to con? sider the aldermen makes it necessary that we assert ourselves." Alderman Quinn had this to say: ? "The Mayor constantly is celling the poor that he loves them, yet he does ? not give them a chance to voice their j opinion of an ordinance which is aimed ? at ending the swindling operations of ] ? few curb brokers," The Quinn ordinance was passed by j unanimous vote of the board. Forty- j eight votes, or two-thirds of the total ? membership, are necessary to pass tho i measure over the Mayor's veto. Hylan's Name Replaces Mitchel's on Tablet Stonectrtter Changes Record Marking Erection of Black well's Island Building A stone tablet which peeps over the ' edge of Queen sbo rough O ridge from j its place on top of a ten-story ware- : house on Blackwell's Island says John ; F, Hylan was mayor when the build? ing was erected. The cornerstone of this building was i laid on October 2i>, 1917, when Mayor ' Hylan was county judge in Brooklyn and a mayoralty candidate. The late ? Mayor Mitchel favored th? erection of this building because fire apparatus could be brought to the island by usir.ft a runaway to the roof and a huge elevator to the ground. Before that, city officials were perplexed by the problem of fighting a large fire on thi island. A bronze plate was placed near the cornerstone to tell posterity that John Purroy Mitchel was Mayor when the building was erected. A stone tablet *a:i placed on the top floor, visible from the bridge, and conveying the ?arae information. Beeentiy a stonecutter snent long hours witb the tablet. When he left it, Mayor Hylan's name was inscribed. *-' > * History Gets Mixed Alleged Pseudo-Officer Arrested on Soldier's Complaint John Blank, assistant manager of a poney Island show, who served with the 106th Infantry of the Twehty-seventh Division in France, appeared as chief J^tnes? ?gainst August Haeberle, whom n? charged before a United States com? missioner in Brooklyn with impereon ?t!on of an army officer.

'Wan? and other? anxious to at Martens Admits Reds Probably Slew U. S. Men 15 ut Bolsheviki Bear No 111 Will Toward American?, He Declares L. C. A. K. Martens, the Bolshevist "Ambassador" to t?e united States, admitted yesterday, that it was prob? ably true that Bolshevik forces in a '. series of encounters had killed and wounded American soldiers at Roman ovka, Siberia, as reported yesterday by The Associated Press. But he in? sisted that if Americans were attacked it was because they were part of tho Kolchak foi'ces and not because they were Americans. Martens said that th'e Bolsheviki bear no enmity toward tho Americans in Siberia and Russia, but cannot un? derstand why they should be fighting the Soviet government when the United States, is not at war with that govern? ment. He said that the good faijh of the Bolsheviki toward American* sol? diers is proved by the immediate lib? eration of all Americans captured in engagements. "Some time ago," said Martens, "it was reported that the Bolsheviki cap? tured several American soldiers and one lieutenant. We now know that the Bolsheviki libe rated them immediately and as far as I remember, it was offi? cially admitted by General Graves, the American commandant in Siberia. The Bolsheviki are not fighting the j Americans, but the Kolchak forces. According to Martens, a large anti- ] Kolchak force has been organized in this region of Siberia, estimated nt ; between' 30,000 and 50,000 men. m-'? ?FUI Apply for Writ to Free Paterson Radicals Special Corratpondencr. PATERSON, N. J., July 12.?Appli- I cation for a writ of habeas corpus for the release of the four members of the Paterson branch of the Amalga? mated Textile Workers of America, arrested by the local police in a raid on the organization, will be made be? fore Supreme Court Justice James P. Minturn on Monday, Henry Marelli, counsel for the defendant.!, said to? day. The men, who are Robert W. Dunn, Evan Thomas, Henry Burger ; and Louis Stein, i.re in the county jail here in default of $1,000 bail each on i charges of advocating the destruction i of the Federal government. Capitalizing the incarceration of I their "martyred brothers," workers for ' the Amalgamated to-day started a ' membership campaign among the silk : workers. They distributed cards reading: "One hundred new members for each day that our comrades are in jail awaiting a writ of habeas cor- : pus." Members of the organization were ; somewhat perturbed to-day over the ! action of the United Textile Workers, affiliated with the American Federa? tion of Labor, who announced them? selves in favor of a forty-four-hour work week in Paterson, beginning Au? gust 4. This is one of the main de? mands that the Amalgamated has been fostering, and its presentation by tho rival organization has deprived it of considerable thunder. Urges Investigation of German-American League The American Defence Society yes? terday urged Attorney General Edward J Brundage, "of Illinois, to investigate the charter of the German American Citizens' League which was recently organized in Chicago and whose mem? bership ia limited to persons of Ger? man extraction. This action is re- '. quested with a view of ascertaining ! whether the new organization is a re crudesence of the German-American Alliance, whose charter was cancelled by the Federal government. The society's letters to Mr. Brundage reads: "The American Defence Society de? sires to call to your attention the or? ganization in Chicago of the German American Citizens' League, whose mem? bership is limited to those of German extraction, which includes in its pur? poses the preservation of the German language and kultur and which is formed for the avowed purpose of weilding political influence. The for- j mation of political groups along the [ lines of nationality tends to destroy the unity of the American people and is directly opposed to the ideals of j American democracy. "The creation of this organization | imposes upon the American people the duty of watching its activities and of : causing political candidates and man- ; agers to realize that tho acceptance ' of the support of pro-German organi- , zations means the withdrawal of loyal | American votes. "The board of truatees of this society earnestly hope:? that you will investi? gate the charter of the German-Amer? ican Citizens' League and their actual j purposes as opposed to their ostensible ! purposes with a view to ascertaining ! whether they are, or are not, a rccru- ; defence of the German-American Al- ! liance, whose charter was cancelled by the United States government." According to Richard M. Hurd, one j of the trustees of the society and who, it will be remembered, lead the fight of the society against the German- ? '. American Alliance, if other races ! formed organizations, political matter?, ; would go along racial lines entirely i ' and Americanism would take second place. -?_-- ,, Policeman Hurt While Chasing Speeding Auto ?
