Smith Messajs To Be Sile On 'Dry' Iss Governor Decides to Await Supreme Court Ruling Both on Amendment and Volstead Enforcement Lively Fight Is Expected Republicans in Legislature to Oppose Short Ballot and Other Proposals By Denis Tilden Lynch ALBANY, Jan. 4.?Governor Smith, who has been spending the last three or four days putting the polishing touches to his annual message to the Legislature, ?will not make any recom? mendations concerning prohibition. The Governor, who was an avowed "wet" when he made his fight for Gov? ernor, is still opposed to prohibition in principle; but he takes the position that nothing can be accomplished until the Supremo Court of the United States has passed upon the question raised in the suits brought to test the legality and constitutianaliy of the Federal "bone dry" amendmen and the Volstead act. This decision was arrived at by Governor Smith after a conference with one of the foremost jurists of the state, a former justice of the Supreme Court?, Nevertheless there is strong tendency among the Democrats and the "wet" Republicans to attempt to put through a law legalizing the manufac? ture and sale of beers and ales. The ?'wets" think they have enough votes to put through such a measure and are debating the wisdom of introducing the legislation before the United States Supreme Court passes upon the ques? tions raised by counsel for the brewers. "Drys" Have Milder Bill The "drys" have abandoned the en? forcement bill of last year and will (?ffer a milder measure at this session. The "dry" bill, which will be intro? duced by Senator George F. Thompson, of Niagara, was drafted following a recent conference between Senator Thompson, William t?. Anderson, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon Ltpgue and other "dry" leaders. The measure will not provide for any rnforcement by the state, but will leave the question of enforcinsr the provisions of the law to the various, sub-divisions of the state. "The bill this year," sai.l one of the "dry" leaders who was at the con? ference, "will define an intoxicating beverage in the language of the Vol? stead act?that is, anything potable containing more than one-half of one per cent of alcohol. We decided to abandon the provision of last year's biil providing for ^ie enforcement of the act by the present excise depart? ment under the name of t*he State Wel? fare Commission. We have left the enforcement of the law to the various communities of the state. "It was in this manner that the local . option laws were made popular. At first, when the localities went dry, there was a sentiment against the i strict enforcement of the law. As a ' result, those caught selling liquor were at first acquitted by the juries and the law was winked at by those charged with its enforcement. But in time the people became educated up to the real worth of local option and juries began to return verdicts of guilty, and ihen its violation ceased. We hope thus to educate New York City and the other wet spots in New York State." The "wets." however, will light any attempt to put through any sort of enforcement bill, and claim that they have enough votes to stop it. Repub? lican leaders, it was said, will not stand for any referendum on the liquor ques? tion, as it was recently reported they might. Thaddcus C. Sweet, Speaker of the Assembly, said to-night that he was opposed to any such measure. Governor Smith's message will be sent to the Legislature when it con? venes here Wednesday at noon. In it ?he Governor, it was said to-night, will recommend the enactment of laws pro riding for: 1. A shorter ballot providing for the election of the Governor and Comptroller, an executive budget and a consolidation of the existing 187 departments, bureaus and com? missions of the state government into sixteen departments. ? 2. The curbing of the activities of the "Reds." $. The abolishment of the State Military Training Commission which supervises the military training of all boys between the ages of sixteen and nineteen years, and transferring its functions, in a modified form, to the /State Department of Education. \. The creation of a State Milk Commission. 5. The adoption of a pay-as-you-go policy on public improvements. 6. The conservation of the state's ''-water power and its development by -the state and the leasing of the power to individuals and municipali? ties. 7. Municipal ownership of public utilities. ? 8. Higher pay for slate employees ?o as to enable them to keep pace with the increased cost of living. 0. The abolition of the Narcotic Drug Commission and transferring its functions to the State Depart? ment of Health. 10. The abolition of the State Council of Farms and Markets and the restoration of the State De? partment of Agriculture. 11. Health insurance for workers, a minimum wage for women and children, an eight-hour day for wom env bringing women office workers .under the jurisdiction of the state '?bor act and providing for the ex? tension of the workmen's compensa? tion law to victims of occupational ?diseases. Fight Is Expected There promises to be a lively row be? tween the Governor and the Rep?b? lica?? on many of his recommanda* uon*, especially with regard to the nborter ballot and other state govern? went changes. These measures origi? nated with Republicans at the State ' 'institutional Convention of 1?M5, and ',r,t- Republican? stood ready to put t/?rough the entire program aa later recommended by the Governor** Re construction ContraisH?on, bu' received ??o encouragement. .Speaker Sweet and Senator i. Henry Walter?, president pro temper* ot the upper house, and other state leader? ?(eeided at recent conference? In Svw York City that if any such measure? were adopted by the present i,egi?la ture they would bear the Republican hallmark. The big bill of the social welfare leg? islation- the health insurance measure -which i? included in the Governor's legislativ? program, wa? also first upon aored by a Republican, ex-Senator Og Ata h. Mill?, #p#j#k?r Afreet is bitterly oppoxed to ?Hie aad all ?th?r social wolf?sr<> tegl* letiea, ?n? three tena sot only to pre vent their passage, but to attempt a repeal of the two bills of this group which passed last year?the law pre? venting women from working before 7 o'clock in the morning and after 10 o'clock at night and the women's ele? vator law. The Senate, which passed all these j bills last year, stands ready to pass i them again. But Speaker Sweet's con t.vol of the Assembly is so complete that unless the friends of the measure can work a miracle they will be killed i in the Assembly Rules Committee. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, who ; represents the 1st Assembly District of Nassau County, will lead the fight in the Assembly for the social welfare legislation. The friends of the health insurance bill, if the measure should fail of passage, will fight for the cre? ation of a joint legislative committee to investigate the question. "There is some honest opposition to this bill," said one of its friends, "but we are confident that it can be re moved by an honest survey of the . situation. And this can be best ac- , complished by a legislative investiga? tion." Hearst Plans Attack While Governor Smith is engaged in his fight with the Republican legis? lative leaders?a fight which will "be waged in the open?the agents of Wil- : liam Randolph Hearst plan to attack him from under cover because of his attacks on their chief following the Governor's refusal to take orders from the editor-politician. Some of these upstate Democrats, who were dissatisfied with the patron? age doled out to them, are preparing to back any upstate Democrat who will agree to tight him in the primaries, and are hoping that William Church Osborn, former state chairman, of Garrison, will be a candidate against i the Governor. Mr. Osborn was a can- > didate in the primaries against the j Governor in 1918. ! The opposition to the Governor is counting on his being a candidate for ! reelection, but friends of Mr. Smith j declare that he will not be a candidate again for any office unless the party drafts him for service?as it did two j years ago. $6,000 Is Offered j For Plan to End Tenement Squalor! ?? Vincent Astor, Marling and Civic Body Give Prize Fund for Best Methods of Relief in the Slums Architects, building engineers and | others with ideas regarding improve.- j ment of urban living conditions were given a concrete problem yesterday in ' the announcement by the State Recon? struction Commission that Vincent As? tor, Alfred E. Marling, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and the New York Foundation hud offered prizes ag? gregating $6,000 for the best plan of transforming a typical block of New York City slum tenements. The con? test is open to experts throughout the state. The winner must develop a plan of remodeling which will attract landlords by assuring increased income with the least possible outlay, providing for sightliness, sanitation, fire protection, ventilation, better lighting, privacy and recreational spaces. Winning Plan To Be Used The winning plan, it is announced, or some modification or improvement of it, will be used in an effort to eliminate all the slum tenements which still house 2,000,000 of New York's popu? lation. The competition committee includes Bert L. Fenner, RobeVt Kohn, Andrew j Thomas and Clarence S. Stein, secre- j tary of the housing committee of the i Reconstruction Commission. The judges, ; besides those named, will be Frank I Mann, Tenement House Commissioner; ? Alfred E. Marling, Charles S. Lockwood, i Senator John J. Dunnigan, Alexander j Bing and Allan Robinson. j Mr. Stein said large plans had been drawn of a characteristic East Side block, showing all details of construc? tion. The competitors are to present plans of transforming this block so that it will meet present day standards. The housing committee, assisted by a number of settlement and civic or? ganizations, made a thorough study of twenty-five blocks of slum buildings last spring. After this members of the Reconstruction Commission and the i joint legislative committee visited the I tenements. Remedy Held Imperative "The effect of the visit was such that! they felt something must be done to ? rid New York City of its slums," said Mr. Stein, "The process of slum elimin? ation has been exceedingly slow. "Between February, 1909, and March, ] 1919, there were 58,552 'old law' tene? ments torn down. At this rate it would ? be 100 years before they would all dis-? appear. Of 982,926 apartments in New i York City in 1919 more than half, or! 587,851, were 'old law' tenements, erect-! ed before the law of 1901 was passed," ! Mr. Stein also said that 20,000 more tenement apartments were being used : now than in March, 1916, owing to the I shortage of dwelling accommodations! and the cost of living. Youth Found Innocent After Year in Prison! - WiIlium Carty, 19, To Be Freed ! This Week, Exonerated of Crime After ?pending nearly a year in Sing Sing Prison, William Carty, nineteen years old, of 579 Fifty-eighth Street, Brooklyn, will come home some tim? this v/eek a free man, cleared of the : charge which sent him up the. river. District Attorney Harry E. Lewis has recently discovered evidence which tends to show that he was a victim of mistaken identity when he was sent to i Sing Sing last February by County Judge Charles J. McOermott for a term of from four and a half to eight and a half years. It is believed that Carty will not; have to face a new trial, as District At- i torncy Lewi? has said he will ask for the dismissal of the indictment against him. Carty was arrested with another man, charged with having attempted to rob the premises of the Rial to Bonding Company, at I Hanson Place. Three ?witnesses were positive In their Iden? tification of Carty as one of the men who attempted to break into the build ing. At the timeyof Carty'? arrest Arnold Anderson, of .',00 Atlantic Ave? nue? testified at the trial that he and two other men committed the crime w tii which Carty was charged. An alienist, however, said that Anderson was mentally defective. Investigation led to corroboration iof the fayorable testimony, it is alleged.

Committees Called Effort to Pocket New Members The action of the Board of Estimate at the "clean-up" meeting on December 80 in authorizing Comptroller Craig to proceed with the work of construction of the courthouse is declared to be in conflict with the spirit of the law in an article in the forthcoming issue of "The Searchlight," published by the Citizens Union. The article points out that Comptroller Craig as the auditing officer of the city will check up on his own expenditures in the building of the courthouse. The Tammany members of the* board ? appointed Comptroller Craig rather j than let Borough President Curran, a Republican, take charge of the work. "Searchlight" Criticism "The Searchlight" article says: "It is gratifying, of course, to have (he building of the courthouse Finally : under'way. But the board was ex- : tremely unwibe in declining to submit the new plans to the Municipal Art : Commission and in designating the ; Comptroller as the board's committee ! to proceed with the actual work of ; construction. The latter is in conflict with the clear spirit, if not the precise letter of the law. rThe city charter makes the Comptroller the auditing ; officer of the city government, empow? ered to audit and inspect the accounts j of all city officers. The former court? house board, like the city departments, was subject in its disbursements to this oversight by the Finance Depart? ment. Under the present plan the spending and the auditing officer will be the same. The principle of that is essentially bad. It could have been ? avoided if, as would have been the j natural procedure, the President of the Borough of Manhattan had been I delegated to construct the building. \ The different in politics between him ' and most of his colleagues on tho j board should not have entered into the I matter." Attacks Other Actions "The Searchlight" article attacks I several other actions of the Board of ! Estimate at the December 30 meeting as "indefensible." "For instance," it is stated in the ? article, "more than $1,000,000 of spe- ; cial revenue bonds were authorized to ? supplement the existing appi-opriation | for the final disposition of garbage. : and $275,000 of these bonds were voted to provide policemen's salaries for the last half of December. To evade the limitation of $2,000,000 on the amount ; of such bonds which may be issued in i a single year for such purposes, as pre scribed by the charter, tho bonds were ' voted under another provision of the charter, which provides no such maxi? mum limitation. The explanation Is that the 1919 budget was purposely and improperly skimped in essential ap- ' propriations; the $2,000,000 of permis? sible bonds was not enbugh to provide needed additional moneys, and then ti course of lawlessness was imperative if vital services were to be paid for." Committee Shifts Assailed "The Searchlight" article predicts that the "totally unjustifiable" shift of committee assignments so as to ex? clude the new (Republican) members of the Board of Estimate from its "all ? too frequent delibreations" is likely to provoke a boomerang. The article ?says ? it v/ill necessitate the public explana- ? tion of matters like those which the < original board so often settled in ex? ecutive session. Tho article refers to tho ordering of ! the traction inquiry as a "much belated recognition of the board's duty to ascer- ? tain the facts of the transit situation." j It also says that the appropriation for j schools was good provided "the Board j of Education has not been hamstrung i by restrictions upon a proper degree of \ freedom of action." Unqualified approval is given of the board's action in killing tho "totally : indefensible" plan of the administra-^ tion to erect a Health Department ' building in West Thirtieth Street at a ! cost of $1,000,000. Tack Hammer and Cat, This "Burglar's" Tools Clerically Garbed "Desperado" Ends in Psychopathic Ward at Bcilevue A man who wore clergyman's clothes j and the hat of a Quaker walked briskly ' into the East Fifty-first Street police ? station last night, carrying a black j satchel. lie announced that he was about to embark on a burglar's career and had picked a Fifth Avenue jewelry shop to start on. Tho lieutenant in charge looked him over, decided he didn't look the part and asked him how he was go ing to break into the shop. "With this," responded the visitor, opening his bag and taking out a tack hammer. While he was flourishing the hammer a black kitten jumped out of the bag. The apprentice burglar said that he was Joseph Vcnturi, a jeweler out of | a job, living at Lyndhurst, N. J. Ho | said he had disguised himself as a clergyman to fool the police. He was sent to the psychopathic ward of Bellc vue Hospital.

Bus Lines May Replace Streetcars on Broadway j Association in Mapping Out j Campaign Submits Project to Members Preliminary to a campaign to clear Broadway of streetcars and make it a 1 thoroughfare exclusively for motor ve- ; i hides, from Kingsbridge to the Bat? tery, the H roadway Association, sub ! mitted a referendum yesterday to its membership on the question of sub? stituting a system of bus lines, Manv- of the most influential mem i bers of tho association favor eliminat ! ing the traction lines, but the referen? dum will require voies on the mainte? nance of the present lines and the continued uso of the torpedo type of car. Surface car traffic on Broadway is handled in two sections. One line, the ! Green Car Line, runs from the Battery ! to the Seventh Avenue intersection at Forty-fourth Street. The other, the Red Line, starts ?it Forty-second Street and extends to 130th Street. Double fare is required to malee the complete trip. Broadway being forty-three feet wide, tiie association asserts, is capable of ! accommodating six motor traffic lanes, three north and three south. It calls attention to the fact that Bradway is the only thoroughfare running the length of Manhattan Island. It also emphasizes the fact that the larger cities of America and Europe do not permit car tracks on their finest streets. The torpedo car, it is further stated in tho referendum, accommodates only forty-nine passengers seated, while motor buses provide for a minimum of sixty.

The weather today will probably be fair. ? -y_ The First Night of the New Year of the 366 nights of 1920 seemed like the setting out on the first stage of a long journey. We need to learn to make new figures in letter writing and cheque drawing. The milestones along the road are the same, but they seem to call to us not to stumble and fall along the way as we did in past years. People often speak of opening a new account with destiny, courses of study, expenditures of time, economies and the savings bank. Why not open a new account with our consciences to talk less and do more to make people and homes happier and thus add to our peace of mind? Let us determine to be reasonable, frank, firm and careful of our censure of each other and industrious to improve in all our occu? pations. (Signed) (J ' January 5, 1920.
