j "I Won't Listen to That Kind
of Talk," Says A. H. Lark
in When Accused of Try?
ing to "Blackjack City"
i
{Rental Is in Question
| Board of Estimate Hearing
of Traction Case Scene
of Lively Altercation
Incensed at the refusal of Adrian H.
i Larkin, trustee of the H. H. Rogers es?
tate, which owns the property of the
Midland Railroad Company, on Staten
Island, to consider favorably the pro?
posal of the Board of Estimate for tho
resumption of sorvioe of the trolley
lines of that company, Mayor Hylan at
! yesterday's hearing: before the board
i declared that another traction company
! was trying* to "blackjack the city."
? When Mr. Larkin told the Mayor that
he didn't propose to listen to ''that
kind of talk" the Mayor became so ex?
cited his. face turned the? color of a
tropical sunset.
At the traction hearing before the
Board of Estimate Monday Major F. H.
La Guardia, President of the Board of
Aldermen, put forward a proposal for
the surrender of tho company's prop?
erty to the city, so that the city could
restore service, pending the outcome
of the proceedings to forfeit the fran- :
chises, after which the company's
equity wouid be determined. As a coun- ;
ter proposition Mr. Larkin suggested
yesterday that the city pay an annual ?
rental of $40,000 on a valuation of
$1,000,000, explaining that the com- ?
pany's property had been appraised j
at more than that sum tTiree years ago.
"We don't propose to ~be black- i
jacked into paying you rent for your I
road, I want to tell you right now,"
said Mayor Hylan, heatedly.
Resents Mayor's Remark |
"I resent that remark," replied Mr. !
Larkin. "I did not come here for the j
purpose of being talked to in that
way."
"Well, you can resont it, but"
continued the Mayor.
"There is no blackjacking about it,"
interrupted Mr. Larkin.
"I won't be blackjacked into taking
over your road and paying that rental,"
the Mayor repeated. *??
"I do not propose to stand here and
listen to that kind of talk," Mr. Larkin
retorted.
"You are going to listen to what 1
have to say while you are before this
board!" shouted the Mayor.
"I don't know whether I am or not,"
said Mr. Larkin, and, ignoring the [
Mayor, he turned to Major La Guardia i
and asked if he wished to ask him any
further questions.
Major La Guardia jumped into the!
breach by explaining in more detail his
proposal for city operation of the Mid- j
land lines and gave the Mayor time to i
cool off. Major La Guardia explained
that he did not see why the city
should be called upon to pay rental,
when the company owed the city about j
$100,000 in taxes and had probably
forfeited ttVair franchise by abandoning!.
operation. He thought it was a fair i
proposal for the city, without waiving
any of its rights relative to forfeiture
proceedings, to take over the lines and
operate them at a five cent fare, the
city to pay a rental if the courts do- ;
cided the franchises were still ef?
fective.
Mr. Larkin repeated that the pro- ?
posai did not appeal to him, but ho j
said he would be glad to meet in con- I
ferencc with the officials of the com- |
pany, its receiver, the court and Corpo- ?
ration Counsel Burr and consider the !
proposal more definitely, or try toi
reach some other agreement. At the
suggestion of Corporation Counsel
Burr, a conference with Judge Chat
field, of the Federal District Court,
will be held thi_p afternoon.
B. R; T. Inquiry Next
With the further introduction oft
evidence in regard to the financial con- I
dition of the New York Railways Com- j
pany by expert accountants in the cm
ploy of the city, the investigation in !
regard to that company was cloned i
yesterday and Corporation Burr an
nounecd that he war, ready to begin
with the Brooklyn Rapid Transit'Com?
pany at the next hearing. He said j
that the city accountants were now at !
work examining the books of that
company.
The members of the Board listened
for more than an hour to the story of
the sins of the traction corporations,
beginning with the old Metropolitan
Street Railways Company, and ending
with the New York Railways Company,
told by Harry J. Carman, an instructor
in history at Columbia University,
whom th Corporation Counsel called
as a witness.
The hearings were adjourned to
April 7.

Whalen Completes Plans
To Buy Motor Busses
Commissioner Confident Injunc?
tion* Up in Court To-day,
Will Be Dissolved
Grov.er A. Whalen, Commissioner of
the Department of Plant and Struc?
tures, announced yesterday he bid
plans and specifications completed tor
the purchase of municipal motor busses
to be operated on lines in the five
boroughs. The Board of Estimate hav?
ing appropriated $1,000,000 for the pur?
pose, nothing now stands in the way
of the purchase of these busses except
the temporary injunction granted by
Justice Newburger in a taxpayer's ac?
tion and which will be argued in' the
Supreme Court to-day.
Commissioner Whalen said he was
confident the injunction would bo dis?
solved. In describing the proposed
type of bus, Commissioner Whalen
said: "The bus is attractive in ap?
pearance. It in known as a standard
three-ton chassis, upon which will be
placed a commodious body, equipped
with electric annunciators, electric
roof and step light?, comfortable
cushioned seats for thirty passengers
and liberal room for standees."

Shoots San to Save
Him From Life of
Crimea Says Father
"Would Rather Kill Him
Myself Than Have Police
Do It" His Plea; May
Face Charge of Murder
CHICAGO, March 24.?Frank Pinano
jr. to-day wae at the county hospital
with three bullet -wounds in hia body.
Frank Pinano sr. waa held nt a police
station, where officers said a murder
charge would be placed if the eightecn
ycar-old boy died.
"I shot hiia to save his soul," the
aged man told the police. "I would
rather kill him myself than have the
police do it. For months I have been
worried every time I heard of a 'stick
up' for fear my son had been killed. I
tried to get him to buckle down, but
he would not do it."
Frank jr., according to court records,
slipped into a near-crime record when
he was fourteen years old. Two years
later he had become a recognized
gangster, and repeatedly was arrested.
A year ago his father carried him
bodily to the police and had Frank con?
fined to a boys' home. Two months
later he was released at the instance
of Mrs. Pinano.
Between sobs the father told the po?
lice of how for years he had herdeii
his family of ten other children to the
Church of Our Lady of Pompeii or
Sunday, but Frank always was missing
?"hanging out with his gang."
Last night, Piano sr. continued, h<
determined to make a final effort to re
claim his boy. Encountered witl
friends at a street corner, the youtr
sneeringly walked away to escape "be
ing bawled by this goody-goody ok
man," the father said, and he fired fiv(
times. Two bullets hit Frank jr. ir
the legs and the third senouslj
wounded him in the back.
Davisoii Describes Sad
Plight of Central Europe
230,000 Cases of Typhus in Po
land Alone, With Lack of
Doctors and Supplies
PARIS, March 24.?Henry P. Davi
son, chairman of the League of Red
Cross Societies, sketched to a gather?
ing of newspaper correspondents to?
day the terrible conditions prevailing
in Central and Eastern Europe.
"I have' a tlegram from Poland to?
day," said Mr. Davison, "telling me
there are 230,000 cases of typhus in
that country itself. I think one may
say that for the most part they are
without anything like adequate atten?
tion. There* is a lack of doctors, of
medical supplies and of hospitals.
"A ship has just arrived at a Baltic
port from Russia with 700 refugees,
among thorn (iftecn generals and many
women. Numerous typhus cases being
aboard the ship, the refugees were not
allowed to land. They previously had
been refused permission to disembark
at other ports.
"In Montenegro four doctors are
trying to look after more than 420,000
persons. Some countries, which are
quite rich and well-to-do, such as
Czccho-SIovakia, are in extreme want
of medical supplies. For them it is
no question of money, but of obtaining
what, they want and having it trans?
ported.
"The work of relief in Central Eu?
rope is of a magnitude too great for
the Red Cross League, and must be
clone by the aid of the Allied govern?
ments,"
The question already is* being con?
sidered by the Council of the League
of Nations. The letter of Arthur .T,
Balfour, as president of the council,
appealing to the Red Cross League to
end the suffering of Central and East?
ern Europe, has been approved by the
League of Nations Council, which, it is
understood, will take up the subject
again.
Builder Accuses U. S.
Federation Head Says Trade
Was Treated Unjustly
CHICAGO, March 24.?Asserting that
neither the government, the railroads
nor the banks had treated the building
industry with justice in the war und
post-war period, E. T. Trigg, of Phil?
adelphia, in addressing the Federation
of Construction Industries, of which
he is president, to-day said a new era
must dawn if construction were to bo
dealt with in a way to meet the coun?
try's needs and relieve the tension of
living costs.
"The builders are trying to get back
to a normal working of the law of
supply and demand," Mr. Trigg said.
"Labor has been the greatest cause of
the falling* off in essential production
in building lines, not only from its
actual loss in immigration, but in the
let-down of morale from the current
social unrest."

by the United States Senate, Captain

tion," says: "It was a political cam?

Writer Won Fame by Novel
"Robert Elsmere"; Was
Known ?in England as
"Our Later George Eliot"
Aided in Charitable Work
She Founded a Settlement
in London for Working
and Teaching Among Poor
LONDON, March 24,?Mrs; Humphry
Ward died to-day of heart disease in a
London hospital.
"Our later George Eliot." as English
enthusiasts used to call the author of
"Robert Elamcro" in the days when
William E. Gladstone deemed it not un?
worthy of him to review her book, was
by accident of birth a native of remote
Tasmania. She was born there on June
11, 1851. during: the service of her
father, Thomas Arnold, as inspector of
schools at Ilobart, and she received the
baptismal names of Mary Augusta.
Her father was a brother of Matthew
Arnold and a son of Arnold of Rugby,
and wasr-himsolf conspicuous in the Ox?
ford movement, forsaking the school
of Stanley, .Towett and dough to be?
come a follower of Newman, and then
fluctuating between Catholicism and
Anglicanism. He spent many years at
Oxford as a man of letters, and his
daughter was brought"up in the at?
mosphere of that university. At the
age of twenty-one she was confirmed in
the?? early tendencies bv her marriage
to Thomas Humphry Ward, a son ol
the Rev. Henry Wurd, a fellow ant
tutor of Graaenose, and sub.;equentlj
an editor and author of eminence, whe
survives her.
First Book a Child's ?Story
It was not until several ,years aftei
her marriage that Mrs. Ward attempte?
authorship. Her first book was a child':
story, ".Milly and Oily," in 1881. J
translation of "Amiel's Journal" fol
lowed in 1885. "Miss Brctherton," i
novel of theatrical life, came in 188(;
Then in 1888 appeared what will doubt
"less always bei considered her magnun
opus. "Robert Elsmere." This novel
which was far and away the "bes
seller" of its time, was a theologica
or ecclesiastical study, and was a de
t_.il od discussion of the "higher criti
cism" of that day and its infiuenc
upon Christian belief. It was tha
quality which provoked Gladston
to write his review of it for "Th
Nineteenth Century," and, of cours?
his review commended it to the con
sideration of the whole religious an
philosophical world.
An interesting by-product of the boo
was the foundation in 18f?0 by Mr:
Ward and others of University Hall, a
"Elsmerian" settlement for working an
leaching among the poor of Londoi
with the development of an extensiv
and .influential "Robert Elsmere cult.
It may be added that the character c
Robert Elsmere in the hook was a con
pound of J. R. Greon, the historian; 1
H. Green, the philosopher, and othc
real persons, and the Squire in th
same book was drawn from E. II. Cn
dock, principal at Brasenose.
Mrs. Ward's next novel, "Davi
Grieve," appeared in 1892. She was nc

Mrs. Humphry tWard, Noted
English Author, Is Dead
Mrs. Humphry Ward
a prolific author nor a rapid writer.
In "Marcella," in 1894, and its sequel,
"Sir George Trcssad.v," in 189(5, she
presented some of the results of her
observations at University Hall, de?
voting those novels to modern politics
and socialism. "The Story of Bessie
Costrell," of similar tone, appeared in
1895.
But her bent for theology was not
past, and in "Helbeck of Bannisdale,"
in 1898, and in "Eleanor," in 1900, she
wrote of the clash between the ascetic
ideals of Roman Catholicism and the
tendencies of modern life. "Lady
Rose's Daughter" was published in
1903. "The Marriage of William Ashe"
appeared in 1005.
In her later years Mrs. ?Ward pro?
duced books much more rapidly and
numerously than at first. Her list
comprised "Fenwick's Career," 1906;
"Diana Mallory," 1908; "Daphne," 1909;
"Canadian Born," 1910; "The* Case of
Richard Meynel!," 1911; "The Mating
of Lydia," 1913; "The Coryston Fam?
ily," 1913; "Delia Blanchflower," 1914;
"Eltham House," 1915; "A Great Suc?
cess," 1916; "Lady Connio," 1916;
"England's Effort," 1916; "Towards the
