Court Order Holds Up New Bus Projects Temporary Injunction, Made Returnable Thursday, I? Served on Mayor and O t h er City Officials Hylan Blames "Interests" Clause Halting Operation of the Present Lines Is Revoked by Justice i ~ A temporary injunction restraining the city from usine the $1,200,000 ap jiropriation made by the Board of Es? timate for the construction and opera tion of busses was served on Mayoi Hylan and other members of Jhe Boarc of Estimate yesterday. A representa tive? of the firm of Guggenheimer, Un termyer & Marshall appeared as th? Board of Estimate was about to oper the hearing on the traction situatioi on Staten Island and served the re straining order, which was obtainec from Justice Newburger, of the Su preme Court. Edward L. Schafer, i stock broker, of 120 Broadway, ap peared ?is the plaintiff in the taxpay ers' action. The order as originally drawn als* restrained the city from operating th* fifteen municipal bus lines now in op eration. It was later amended by Jus tice Newburger, at the instance of Cor poration Counsel Burr, so as to appl: only to the proposed new busses Grover A. Whalen, Commissioner o th? Department of Plant and Struc tures, who is supervisor of city bu operation, was included as a defend ant. The order is returnable 'in th Supreme Court Thursday, when th city will bave to show cause why th injunction should not be made perma nent. The order was obtained on th grounds that the. bus project would in cur indebtedness other than for cit.; or county purposes in violation of th state constitution; that the city ha not received from the Legislature an; power to use the credi, or the fund; of the city for such a purpose an that the city, as a municipal corpora tion, poss sS?s no franchise to operat motor oninbus routes. Mayor Hylan and the members o tue Board of Estimate had got wind c the injunction and Corporation Coun sel Burr was hurriedly summoned t the council chamber. The Mayor at cepted service of the papers and rea the order to the other members of th board, who were also served wit copies. "This is only another move on th part of the traction interests to sto the running of municipal buses in th city of New York," said the Mayor. Comptroller Craig suggested tha Corporation Counsel Burr be ii structed to go right ahead and con* p?ete all the necessary legal arrangf monts for the operation of the bu lines, so that in case the injunctio failed the city would have lost no tim Borough President Riegelmann, < Brooklyn, called attention to the fai that the order apparently stopped tl operation of all existing bus lines, ar the Mayor directed Mr. Burr and Cor missioncr Whalen to see Justice Ne\ burger immediately and seek i amendment of the order. Turning its attention to the Stat* island traction situation, the boa tidopted a resolution serving formal n tice on the Midland Railway Comp.n which discontinued its trolley servie that its franchises would be jevoki within ninety days. However, it w* not determined "?s to 'whether tl ninety-day clau** in the franchi gives the compan.. ?hat much time reconform to the obligations of tl contract, or whether ninety days' n lice is required to give the compai time to remove its tracks and equi ment. That will be determined in t action brought by the Corporati Counsel. A substitute resolution was oifer by Borough President Van Name, Richmond, stipulating that the ci grant a 10-cent fare to the compa with the proviso that the company gi free transfers to all its lines. I Van Name declared that he did want to place the company in a woi position than it is in at present, I wanted to strengthen its position, that it would resume service and ford the needed relief. This rcso tion was rejected. District Attorney Joseph Maloy, Richmond, appeared before the Boi and said he represented the Richmc County Grand Jury, which had int esled itself in the mutter and desii to act as .mediator to bring about restoration of the trolley service. W Mr. Maloy was James Frank Atterbu foreman of the Crand Jury. They made a proposal to the Boi which they said originated with rep scntatives of the trolley company, t the city lease and operate the Midli road for si. months at a rental wh would provide for a 4 per cent ret\ on the $1,000,000 property investm? the rental to be applied toward p payment of the company arrears taxes amounting to about $100,000. No.action was taken on the propo but a counter proposal which had unofficial sanction of the Board ' submitted to the Grand Jury repres tatives to lake back to the compa Major La Guardia, President of Board of Aldermen, suggested that city enter into an agreement with Midland Company to operate the r at. a B-cent fare, without waiving of its rights in regard to the forfeit of the franchises. If the company ? cecded in defeating the action to brought by the city to abrogate franchises the city was then to pa rental, the amoui t to be determi by the members of the Board of E mate and officials of the company, case the city succeeding in abroga the franchises the company was to I over its equipment to the citv as ; payment of its debt to the city. District Attorney Maloy consente submit the proposal of the Alder m ^resident to the company and givt answer to the Board of Estimate morrow, when the traction probe be resumed. Alderman John J. O'Rourke, Staten Island, also spoke in behal the people of Richmond, declaring they wanted the trolley service stored, no matter how it "was done, started t? criticize the city bus 1 in Richmond, saying that the c crowded conditions in rush hours * indecent and a real menace to wc and children. Mayor Hylan interru him. "Bear in mind aldermen, and ke> right in your eye," said the Mi "that the busses are here to stay, only change in the future will be provement of the busses. The p< want the busses and they shall them. I am satisfied that no cou: this state will stop the operatio bus lines, as attempted by the trat interests to-day. The traction terests, after having driven out competition, crowded the people the cars and later appealed for creased fares. When they failed in they asked the court to prohibit operation of the bus lines. I V yomething of the temperament, of ?t*te coi^.t.? and they will protect interests>of the people." Wife Returns Dazed From Seeking Missing Husband Mrs. Mabel Hellquist, Gone Since Saturday, Comes Home With Tale of Being Attacked and Robbed by Man Who Said He Was Newspaper Reporter Mrs. Mabel Hellquist, the young woman; *rho disappeared Saturday with a young man who said he was a news? paper reporter and wptild conduct her to her hAband, missing since January 7, returned last night to her home, at 312 Forty-sixth Street, Brooklyn. She was . astonished to learn that" her mother was in bed, prostrated by this new mystery. "WThy, didn't you get the telephone messages Mr. Lithgow sent?" demanded Mrs. Hellquist in surprise. "Stephen Lithgow" was the name given by the "reporter" who lurred her away from home on th. pretext that he had dis? covered her husband. Mrs, Hellquist's mother, Mrs. Annie Wohlberg, replied that she had not heard a word from her daughter, and asked where she had been. Worried About Husband "I'm not sure," said Mrs. Hellquist. "Mr. Lithgow said it was Paterson. Have you heard anything from Fred?" (her husband.) That was her chief worry?whether her husband had been discovered dur . ing her absence. Her trouble has al I most stunned her mental faculties, her sister, Mrs. Nellie Harty, said, and her ; own adventures seemed trivial in com ' parison. Although the man who gave his name as Lithgow had betrayed her confidence, attempted to attack her and had stolen both her engagement ring and her wedding ring, she brushed all that from her recollection and de? manded; news from her husband. It was this obsession that enabled the imposter to make her his dupe with incredible ease, her family be? lieve. She told them that when she and "Mr. Lithgow" reached Manhattan Saturday afternoon he told her it was too late to go to the hospital in Yonkers where he told her her nusband was a patient and he would take her to Paterson instead. Not Sure It Was Paterson Mrs. Hellquest doesn't know whether | they went to Paterson or somewhere | else. All she knows is that "Mr. Lith- ? i gow" took her to a house where several ? ' other young women roomed and en- < Uncle Sam Turns Advisory Chef for Save-on-Meat Week Department of Justice Gives Recipe for Savory Pot Roast; Menu To-day Will Include Succulent Oxtails I Food Administrator Arthur, Williams, i announced yesterday that "Save Money ' on Meat Week" opened auspiciously j with the posting of thousands of! placards by butchers urging women to, reduce the price of meat by buying "in- j expensive" cuts. Pot roast with vegetables was eaten ' i yesterday, Mr. Williams said, the | money-savers on meat consuming three : or four pounds of chuck roast with one cup of ?sliced carrots, one cup of sliced onions, one cup of celery (cut in pieces), one cup of sliced turnips and three tableapoonfuls of fat (preferably salt pork). This was to be taken at, meal tim?. To-day.they will eat pot roast and ox tails; to-morrow, soup meat and beef ? hearts; Thursday, lamb stew and chopped meat; Friday, veal stew and sausage m?at, and Saturday, corned beef and chuck roast. This program prohibits the use' of tenderloin, porter? house, sirloin, prime ribs, spring lamb and the like, so that by Sunday, when ! "Save Money on Meat Week" will end, ! ? people still can go on saving money by j ; buying up the accumulation of choicer* i cuts, which probably will be selling j cheap by that time. Edith G Strauss, director of women's; i activities in the Department of Justice,! ' is giving out a Federal recipe for each I day. The Department of Justice rec- ! , ipe for the pot. roast, which is per- i ! mitted to-day, advises that if the meat: has disintegrated, skewers or ordinary; cord be used to reassemble it. Then it should be dusted off with a damp cheesecloth and rolled in flour, ! i care being taken to observe the proper I order of events. Vegetables should be placed in just enough salted water j j to cover them and placed upon the fire j ! where, the Department of Justice says, | : they presently will come to a boil. ? The resulting boil should not be in terfered with until it is soft. Then it; should be rubbed in a coarse strainer. The fat, in the opinion of the Depart-j ment of Justice, should be heated, pref- i ! erably in a frying pan or iron kettle | with a cover. When the fat is hot the 1 meat is introduced and becomes brown. | "If the frying pan is used," advises I i the Department of Justice, "transfer! j the meat, after it is brown, to a j ? kettle, unless the pan is deep enough ! ! to hold the beef." The vegetables and their liquid are . , poured over the meat, whleh is cov- j I ered tightly and allowed to simmer four or five hours and to turn over i twice. The gravy is thickened and j ?poured on, and there, says the De-; ? partm?ht "of Justice, you have a com- j ? pletely mobilized pot roast. The De- ? : partment of Justice permits any sea- ] , soning to be used that is desired, but j if the pot roast is cooked in a Dutch i oven it. is considered wise to stick two or three cloves in the onion. i Hylan Tells Contractors He'll Force Gas Supply Mayor Hylan yesterday told a dele? gation of builders and contractors ' from the Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst and \ Gravesend sections of Brooklyn, who! have been refused gks for their build- j ; ings by the Kings County Lighting! Company, that, they would get gas, be- , I cause he would find a way of getting it ! for them. After listening to the com- : I plainants for half an hour, the Mayor i ' sent for Corporation Counsel Burr, ] j who briefly explained the situation to ? \ the Mayor. Mr. Burr suggested two methods of i I procedure, either to apply to the Pub ! lie Service Commission or apply to the Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus to compel the company to provide serv? ice. The Public Service Commission issued an order about two weeks ago di? recting the company to supply service, but the order has been ignored. The Mayor finally directed the Cor ? oration Counsel to assign an assistant o the case and take it up with District Attorney Harry E. Lewis, of Brook- ; lyn. and see if it could not be present? ed to the grand jury of Kings County.; j The Mayor said he believed the refusal I of the company to supply gas consti- I ! tuted a penal offense, but, in the event '< | it was found there was no such law, he directed the Corporation Counsel to prepare a bill for the enactment of sucn a law. The Mayor said he per? sonally fcttUld.'. #a to ^bany. and .advo? cate its passage. ' I gaged a room for her. That night, she says, he came to see her, ostensibly to deliver a message from her husband, and attempted to embrace her. She struggled?she showed her torn cloth? ing to illustrate the violence of the en? counter?and "Mr. Lithgow" went out. After that she feared him, but more than anything else she feared to offend him lest he refuse to take her to her husband, so when he said that visiting the hospital on Sunday was out of the question she acquiesced. Yesterday morning, however, "Mr. Lithgow" said that they would go to the hospital just as soon as they could get the necessary order from the judge. Still oppressed by her dominant idea, Mrs. Hellquest assented without ques? tion and they went to an office build? ing where, "Mr. Lithgow" said, the judge had his office. Whether the office building was in Paterson or New York Mrs. Hellquest doesn't know. At the entrance "Mr. Lithgow," she said, told her it would look better if he went in alone and again she fell in with his suggestion. "Mr. Llthgow's" Idea But if he went in alone, "Mr. Lith j gow" said, according to the younj; ! woman, how would the judge know thai i she really was Fred's wtfe? Mrs. Hell quest didn't know, but a bright idei struck "Mr. Lithgow." He propound'! it at once. If he had Mrs. Heliquest'i engagement ring_,and wedding ritif why the judge would know that hi represented Fred's wife and would is sue the order admitting them to thi hospital. Without question, Mrs. Hellques stripped a $125 diamond ring and hci wedding ring from the third finge of her left hand and intrusted them she said, to "Mr. Lithgow." He en tered the building. She waited outside She waited several hours. He did no emerge. She entered and made stum bhng inquiries as to "Mr. Lithgow and the judge's chambers. As she i deaf she ~did not catch the full sife niflcance of the replies perhaps, bu she gathered that no judge had ai office in the building. Some one di rected her to Brooklyn, she said, am here she was. Had anything bee; heard from Fred ?

Meantime Mr. Swann disclaimed ai responsibility for the proposal. 1 said he merely had offered the suggt tion which, if carried out at all, wou have to be championed by the city c licials. He said he had no idea at wh price the city might sell the milk. .

Porter Accused Of Threatening Two Detectives Superseding Indictment Is Filed Against Former Police Official; Pleads Not Guilty to Charges Smith Assails Enright Prosecutor Resents State? ment That Trial Is a Bluff and Demands Early Date Augustus Drum Porter, until his in? dictment and removal Third Deputy Police Commissioner, appeared before Judge Malone in General Sessions yes? terday and pleaded not guilty to the grand jury's charges of neglect of duty. Following Colonel Porter's arraign? ment, a superseding indictment was filed similar to the original one, but containing an additional count alleging that an implied threat was made to Detectives Sorger and Wheelwright, the two plain clothes men who testified against Porter, when they attempted to put Porter under arrest in their' raid ion an alleged ' disorderly flat at 324. ; West Ninety-sixth Street, where, they i teat i tied, they found Porter with a ? woman. The new count charges that Porter warned the detectives not to arrest him because he was their supe? rior officer. Colonel Porter probably will be ar? raigned on the superseding indictment to-day. The former police official's argngn ment yesterday was marked by clashes between Assistant District Attorney James E.

Mr. Smith also assailed Police Commissioner Enrifrht without. however, mentioning the Police Commissioner's name. ; Mr. Mendrick asked for ten days' .iim?? in which to make necessary I motions and possibly to inspect the j grand jury's minutes. When he in-. j sisted on this over Mr. Smith's pro I test the Assistant District Attorney ? leaped to his feet and shouted: "Your honor, Mr. Hendrick gave out! ;? statement to the papers in which he j suit! that this case was not intended to be moved for trial.

Associa* lion's President ?ays Xow York retailers are working on a ; plan whereby the cost of footwear will j be reduced. John J. Slater, president , of the Retail Shoe Dealers' Association of Greater New York, yesterday noti-! fled Arthur Williams, Federal Food Ad ministrator, that his association is ' about to make a cut in the price of all standard non-fancy conservative shoes, with the exception of those made on j special lasts. The price of the latter j will remain unchanged. Leading shoe retailers held a meet ing at the Hush Terminal Building last Friday and the question of changing present prices was discussed. The deal- i ers, although no announcement was made, voted for iho reduction, but did not fix the amount. Another meeting ' will be held at the Bush Terminal Building to-day. At this meeting, Mr. ! Slater said, the dealers will decide on i what percentage of their profits theyj will take off the prices of shoes. At the office of Food Administrator Williams, it was said the reduction probably would amount to from 5 to 10 ! per cent of the present retail prices. A . few of the smaller dealers handling staple lines already have reduced their prices from ? to 10 per cent, and it is the opinion of the trade that the shoe i prices from now on will decline rather than mount upward.
