fthe corporation or its officials. .
During the debate Senator Ashurst, I
Democrat, Arizona, charged that the ?
?so'ution was directed primarily at ,
filbert Hoover and that -it was a "part

rendered valuable services during the ?

Senator Ashurst charged that "poli- i

"A3 a friend of the President," Sen?

Senators Jones, of New Mexico, and

A letter from Max H. Houser, the

Chamberlain, Democrat, of Oregon. It
urged a complete investigation of the

He was all alone in the world, but he

For Cruelty to Officers
Must Impose Penalties for Out*
rages Against Allied Com?
mission in Baltic States
PARIS, March 11.?The conference
of ambassadors to-day decided to send
the German government a very firmly
worded note, demanding immediate ap?
plication of the penalties promised for
the outrages suffered by officers of the
inter-Allied commission to the Baltlo
states during the German evacuation
of that region, which punishment has
hitherto been delayed.
The conference has sent precise in?
structions to the commissions of con?
trol in Germany, as the German gov?
ernment has contested their right to
visit forti'es<*es which are not to he
destroyed. The control commissions
were meant to have the right to visit
all German fortified places.

Albrecht was confronted to-day by
Count Metternich, an Austrian, who
; was in the dining room at the time of
tho attack, The meeting was in the
presence of the state's attorney, and
Metternich reiterated his original tes?
timony that Joachim Albrecht not oniv

"Kound Robin' Urges
Hearst to Head 3d Party
Former Bull Mooeer, With 50
Other Signers, Including
10 Women, in Appeal
Julian B. Thomas, former Bull
Mooser, with about fifty other signers,
ten of them women, sent a round robin
demand yesterday to William R. Hearst
that he run for President on a third
party ticket. A Tribune reporter who
talked with Mr. Hearst's secretary last
night was told that Mr. Hearst had
not considered the "demand."
The round robin praises Mr, Hearst
for his accomplishments in behalf of
the plain people, and says, among
other things:
"We want you to bring bnck to the
masses a sense of duty to themselves,
to their homes, to their country. While
we respectfully solicit, wc believe it
is our inherent right a3 fellow Ameri?
cans to demand that you allow us the
Treat privilege of presenting your
name to our fellow citizens as our
choice for Presidential candidate to
lead us on to victory in tho great po?
litical battle which is about to be
fought. Lead us, Mr. Hearst, so that
we may 'march on, all hearts resolved
in victory.' "
"If Mr. Hearst gives us any encour?
agement at all," said Mr. Thomas yes?
terday, "we will begin organizing
throughout the state and proceed also
to get in touch with progressive or?
ganizations in every part of the coun?
try."
New Industrial Court
Successful, Allen Says
Kansas Governor Declares Tri?
bunal of Three Settles
All Disputes
Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas,
vice-president of the National Leonard
Wood League and a national figure on
account of his handling of the state?
wide coal strike in his state last win?
ter, was the speaker yesterday at a
luncheon at the Lawyers' Ciub ar?
ranged by R. J. Caldwe'.l and attended
by many prominent employers of labor
and well known lawyers. Governor
Allen discussed tho new industrial re?
lations court of three, organized by
himself.
"At the present time," said Governor
Allen, "the board has two lawyers and
one editor in its personnel and is set?
tling disputes of an industrial nature
which may be brought to its attention.
It has the same authority as a criminal
court. The court is equipped with full
authority to send to jai! or oiherwise
penalize persons found guilty of con?
spiracy to halt the production of any
vitai necessity of life for the purpose
of increasing wages or the cost of the
same.
"Only the Supreme Court of tho state
may be appealed to from the decisions
of the court. The success of the court
in settling disputes is causing general
satisfaction and benefit to the com?
munity up to the present time. It has
shown it does not deny labor the right of
profitable bargaining or other funda?
mental rights. The right of the state
to insist on the continuation of the pro?
duction of necesssities and to *see that
those actually responsible for efforts
to bring about a discontinuation are
controlled is supreme. I think we are
foolish if we don't build against any
irreat proscriptive political society
whose purpose threatens our govern?
ment."
Secretary Baker Paid $480
Too Mitch in Income Tax
WASHINGTON, March 11.?Secre?
tary Baker has overpaid his income
tax. He was notified to-day by the
Internal Reverme Bureau that he was
entitled to a refund of $480 for last
year as the result of an error in fig?
uring his surtax. A Cabinet officer
gets $12,000 a year and a surtax is
charged on part of a salary over
$5,000. , t J
Mr. Baker, himself a lawyer, had a
lawyer assist him in making out his

cover where he had made the error.
Foresee Peril '
In Bond Issue
For Bonuses
Secretary Houston and As?
sistant Assert Increase
in Indebtedness Would
Create Financial Crisis
Less Harm in More Taxes
(Senate Committee Told
Issuance of Certificates
Would Benefit "Sharks"
WASHINGTON, March 11.?Oppos?
ing former Secretary McAdoo's plan of
reducing .taxes by additional bond is?
sues, Secretary Houston and Assistant
Secretary Leffingwell to-day told the
House Ways and Means Committee,
which is considering soldier relief leg?
islation, that any increase in the pres?
ent government indebtedness would
create a grave financial situation.
Secretary Houston predicted that a
bond issue of $2,500,000,000, necessary
j under certain plait! of adjusted com?
pensation now before the committee,
j "might result in a disaster," while Mr.
Leffingwell said "the worst thing possi?
ble would be to give bonds to former
so.diers, as a great majority of them
would cash their holdings immediate?
ly."
Increased Taxes Least Harmful
Both suggested increased taxes as
j "the least harmful wav" to extend re
| lief, the Assistant Secretary asserting
that even a tax on normal incomes
i would add to the cost of living and be
j directly felt by those least able to
j bear it.
Any future bond issue would have to
? bear 6 per cent interest, and would be
I "a much more serious proposition than
j it was during the war," Governor
! Harding of the Federal Reserve Board
! told the committee.
"First, there would be a lack of pa
j triotism which helped in selling bonds
! during the war," he said, "and, second
j ly, we would come into competition
j with all sorts o? commercial invest
I rnents."
Present Situation Not Critical
Even under increased taxes, Secre
: tary Houston said, the proposed ex
I penditure of $2,000,000,000 "would be a
j serious one for the people to confront
j at thi3 time."
; "The present financial situation is
not critical," Mr. Houston commented.
! "Economy by the people, avoidance of
j waste in expenditures, economical ap
I propriatior.s by Congress and prudence
i in handling these appropriations will
j naturally relieve the situation."
Discussing the bond plan, Mr. Leffing
! well said bonds given to former serv
! ice men, while increasing the nation's
I indebtedness, also would bring about a
! recurrence of activities of "sharks,"
j similar to those used against Liberty
i bond holders after the armistice.

Suit Over Woolworth Home
l
| Alleging Title Is Unmarketable,
Bache Wants $20,000 Back
Jules S. Bache, banker, obtained
i from Justice Erlanger yesterday per- i
! mission to sue H. T. Parson, as com- |
j mittee of the estate of Mrs. Jennie !
j Woolworth, widow of Frank W. Wool
I worth, and an incompetent, to recover
| $20,000 Bache paid on entering into a
j contract to buy the Woolworth resi
j dencc at 990 Fifth Avenue. The price
l of the property was to be $460,000.
Title was to be passed on January 9.
j but, according to Mr. Bache, he learned
that the front wall of the building
encroached on Fifth Avenue in semi?
circular form for the length of 21.3
feet, to an extreme deDth of three feet,
from the firut to the fourth stories. It
is alleged that there is also an en?
croachment on the Eightieth Street
side of the house.
Because of these encroachments, says
Mr. Bache, the title is unmarketable.
He also alleges on information and be?
lief that the Federal and state in?
heritance taxes have not been paid on
the estate of Mr. Woolworth and that
these are liens on the property.

Harrisons9 Cook
Stages a Jubilee
_
\r
?Irish Ellen, 50 Years in
Service, Gives Mistress
"Extra Good" Dinner
It was Ellen McCarty's golden jubl
I lee yesterday. She celebrated it by
cooking an extra good and extra big
dinner, at 161 East Sixty-first Street,
for tho Harrisons, for whom she
' has cooked, served and 'readied
up" for fifty years. Miss Teresa G.
Harrison, who Ellen, as a fifteen-year
i old nursemaid, used to take out in a
i perambulator in the '70s, sat at the
! head of the table and around her were
her brothers and sisters?children of
; Mr. and Mrs. Michael Harrison, who
: hired apple-cheeked Ellen fifty years
; ago last night?and their children and
their children's children.
; Sixty-five years old, Ellen is, but as
spry as ever she was, while her white
hair merely intensiiies the ruddiness
of her cheeks and the sparkle in her
blue eyes. A glint of moisture gave
I an added brilliancy to those Irish eyes
| when aunts and uncles and children
: and grandchildren and nephews and
. nieces, both plain and grand, came
? trooping down to the kitchen after din?
ner to make much of Ellen and give
her their anniversary presents.
Somewhat reluctantly, but with a bit
? of modest pride, Eilen told something
o? her career.
"I keep this whole four-story house
without any help," said she, "and I
cook"?at which the assembled Har?
risons smacked their lips in corrobora
tion. "Hard work is it? I like hard
work?my, yes! I like housework.
1 Mrs. Harrison taught me all 1 know
and I brought up her children and I
watched them bringing up their chil?
dren.
i "I like to keep my kitchen just so
| and do my chores and 'tend to every?
thing myself. I think giris who con
; sider housework beneath them are very
' foolish. But I don't mix with them
; much. I just keep to my work and
I keep busy."
Although frank in her admission
that she liked housework, Ellen did
! not allow her personal affairs to be
| come a part of the conversation, and
when asked why she never married
parried with a twinkle which must
liave wrought devastation among the
sparrow ccps in the old days, saying:
"An' how could I be marryin' when
nobody ever ast me? Am I sorry they
didn't? Not me!"

Walker Urges
Drastic Change
At Bath Home
Lieutenant Governor Ques?
tions Aged Veteran on
Alleged Brutalities of
Attendants and Nurses
Says Old Rule Must End
"Doped," Witness Declares;
Tells How Aged Soldier
Was Choked by Employee
SYRACUSE, N. Y., March 11.?
Lieutenant Governor Harry C. Walker,
after questioning Reuben A. Wright,
seventy-seven, Civil War veteran, here
to-day relative to alTeged brutalities
and thieving tactics of attendants and
nurses at the Soldiers' and Sailors'
Home at Bath, disclosed at previous
hearings, said drastic changes in the
management of the home would have
to be made.
For more than an hour the Lieuten?
ant Governor and Cortland A. Wilbur,
of Binghamton, questioned Mr. Wright
as the veteran lay ill in bed. When
Mr. Wright in his sworn testimony said
that while at the home "they tried to '
make me out insane," Mr. Walker
whispered "I guess your mind is as
sound as the mind or any one."
The witness declared he was "doped"
at the home on his birthday, December
14, 1917, and that he was insensible
for five days. He said he saw an old
soldier named Pierce choked by an at?
tendant when he refused to take medi?
cine immediately, as ordered by an at?
tendant. "Pierce took the medicine,"
Ms. Wright said, "and I guess he is
dead now."
Describes Loss of Money
Mr. Wright said attendants took
money "right from in front of the vet?
erans and when they asked for it they
would say 'it's around somewhere.'"
"I saw another man," Wright con?
tinued, "named Mike Dillon lose money
! in this way. Poor Mike is dead now."
The old soldier describing the loss
of $70 himself, said:
'About the 10th or 13th of January,
! 1913, I suffered a stroke and was taken ?
! to the hospital. I was unconscious for ?
j several days and when I came to I I
i found that about $70 I had in a pocket ?
| in my ciothes was gone. !
"About two weeks after I missed the
j money a nurse told me he was going
on a vacation and I said to him: 'I
I will give you $30 of that money if
! ou will rotund the $40 ' \n? !.. ays:
''Won't vou tell anybody?' I says,
, 'Why, no.?
Feared Complete Breakdown
"Well, that was ail that was said at ?
| that time. He went on the vacation ;
! and was gone about two weeks. When !
! he came back I says to him, 'How much ;
of my money have you got?' 'Why,
I about $4. I guess.' And that is all j
that was said. He didn't say he would j
: give it back to me.
"It went along about a week after
: and I said, 'How much of my money
have you got?' He says. 'I haven't got
any at all.' So I was out."
Mrs. A. P. Ripley. Wright's sister.
; testified Wright was brought to Syra?
cuse in September, 1919. She said he
was taken out of ihe hospital because
? of a fear on her part and other rela
; tives he would break down completely

Labor Cost May Halt
School Building Plan
Builder Asks Board of Esti?
mate To Be Relieved of
Queens Contract
The skyrocketing cost of labor and
building materials is driving some of
the contractors on new school buildings
to beg for mercy and threatens to in?
terfere seriously with the cTty's pro?
gram for the construction of new
schools. It was learned yesterday at
the City Hall that Dennis E. Connors,
who bid $794,000 for the construction
of the Newtown High School in Queens,
has written the Board of Estimate beg?
ging to be relieved of his contract.
Mr. Connors says he will be finan?
cially ruined if he is compelled to go
on with the work. He has a certified
check for $15,000 deposited with the
city as a guarantee which the city may
appropriate if he fails to carry out
his contract, but that is little conso?
lation to the school children of Queens,
who feel the great need of a new high
school. The first estimate of the cost
of the Newtown High School was made
by the Board of Estimate experts in
1914, and the figure was fixed at
$331,205. Mr. Connors finally was
given the contract as the lowest bidder
of several contractors.
Major La Guardia, President of the
Board of Aldermen, declared yesterday
that prospects of building new schools
within a reasonable time looked dubi?
ous. Ho said very few schools could
be built for the $15,000,000 appropri?
ated for that purpose by the Board of
Estimate under prevailing prices.

Eustachio Tardibuono. of 31 Oak

Court yesterday, charged with the ab?

Di Carlo, wife of Joseph Di Carlo, of
41 Cherry Street.
Tardibuono, who is twenty-five years

The girl's parent's, he added, also con?

Pi Carlo married the girl December
last, Tardibuono acting as witness. Th?
husband testified that soon after he
married Madeleine she told him she

Move to Cut
Milk Supply
Continu?? from pees oee

"It is a shame to think that the up?
state members of tha Now York Legis?
lature Bhould bow to the will of the
milk trust and refuse to give even the
slightest consideration to the milk bills
pending in the Legislature at the pres?
ent time.
"Why not permit this milk to be
brought into the ctiy? It certainly is
better for the farmer to have the milk
taken at any price than to have it
thrown away and wasted so far as
"human need is concerned. The citi?
zens of. New York, particularly the un?
dernourished children, would gladly
have the milk that, under the operation
of the rules and regulations of the
Sheffield Farms Company, will be kept
from this market.
"Nobody in this city wants the
farmer to produce milk at a loss. The
members of the Fair Price Milk Com?
mittee have stated on every possible
occasion that it is their desire to have
written into the law such unmistakable
language as to insure the farmer a
just return for his product.
"It is significant that the Federal

Health Commissioner of that city

j tion. I wonder if he feels quite so
enthusiastic now over the milk trust
I as he appeared to be when he wrote
that letter?"
Loton Horton, head of the Sheffield
companies, said last night:
"This is ju3t one of Copeland's
grandstand p'ays, and is absurd in so
far as it attempts to make it look as
if we held back the milk to increase
the cost.
"I've still got my senses. You can't
give milk away. In the milk Dusiness
you've got to figure close and bring
down what you can sell at a profit.
Between now and June 1 the supply
of milk will increase 100 per cent, due
to spring and fresh cows.
"If we brought all of it in the peo?
ple wouldn't buy it. We send notices
like these out usually every spring
when fresh cows begin to produce and
the farmers all try to unload thei3
milk on us. We don't want to accept
their stuff until we have a chance tc
inspect their farms and see what facili?
ties for production they have and whal
their milk standard is.
"Whether we take on lots of these
new dairies will depend also on what
price the farmers will ask next month
We've got all the milk we can sel
right now if the trains get it in tc
us, and if we took all that the farmers
can produce the railroads would nevei
get it in to us.
"Another reason for sending out th(
I notice? was that there's been a bit
j drop in the export'end of the business
I We can't begin taking everything the
i farmers unload on us until we know
where we stand. You can't do business
j any other way."
The Income Tax
and Its Cost
Without a thorough knowledge
of tax department rulings on
income and expense items an
individual or a firm may easily
make an error involving costly
litigation and possibly a fine.
In some cases lack of sufficient
accounting knowledge in pre?
paring returns is the cause of
a large loss of time and money.
The services of a Certified
Public Accountant may reduce
the cost of meeting the ' tax
under such conditions.

SHOES for MEN
Offer Quality Beyond the Prices
Instead of Prices Beyond the Quality
RSglUALITY and Price are going to gov
tMJIj ern shoe purchases this season more
than evor before. Prices generally are
higher, quality generally is not, and the
thing to guard against is, paying too much
for quality, or paying too little to get it.
Now, Banister Shoes and Franklin Shoes
are- several dollars apart in price, but not
ten cents apart in policy. Both are made on
the principle that the quality shall be the
finest obtainable at their respective figures.
Both Banisters ?nd Franklins are spe?
cialized productions, designed and made
exclusively for our Men's Shop, and em?
bodying original features in the make-up
and the making not to be found in any
other shoes at the same prices.
