of the Grand Central Terminal, pinned
?a adulatory rose on every out-of
tawner who travels through the For'ty
jtcond Street depot- in a statement
iriiich he issued yesterday.
Praises New York Commuters
**I have often said," Mr. Bronson de?
clared admiringly, "that the New York
commuter is the most intelligent, rea?
dable and adaptable human being
that any public service corporation can
r?sh to deal with. This overnight
_dar??rti?n t0 new suburban schedules
jj g most striking proof of that fact.
We have found that if you merely give
the New Yorker proper notification and
understanding that any particular
thing is necessary to do, he will accept
it readily and cheerfully and give the
??st kind of cooperation."
" Mr. Bronson stuck to his point with
efce#r:ul obstinacy and insisted that
in the event of a challenge from com
mut? rs of Jersey, Philadelphia, Chicago
or points West he would still maintain
the superiority of the New Yorkers
commuting into the Grand Central
ag?iin?. all comers.
Railroad schedules on the New York
Cpntr.il, as far as they affect suburban
trains, have been advanced an hour.
The railroad maintains Eastern stand
ara time on its clocks, btit by switch?
ing the printed time tables has adapted
its service to the change. The 5:15
now leaves at 4:15, and every one is
happy- Similar plans have been put
i__-."effect at the Pennsylvania, Erie
and Lackawanna terminals.
Through Traffic Affected
Passengers leaving New Ycrk on
through trams sufTarred some slight in?
convenience ycstor.Viy because- of the
change, which affeets only suburban
schedules. Many travelers who intend?
ed to catch the Boston expresa de?
parting at 10 o'clock were obliged tc
?rait an hour for the train, which de?
parted at 11 o'clock under the day?
light savins: standard. Similarly, some
passengers going from the ?Jersey
terminals had an hour's wait before
Iheir trains were due to depart.
All city institutions and puhlic of
f.e. s in New York and New Jersey
adopted the new time*wii.hout a hitch
yesterday. The subway and elevated
"lines conformed with the change and
there was no difficulty.
State Senator Thomas Brown, of

in favor of a Federal enactment for
! Daylight Saving
Fails in Jersey
TRENTON7n. J., March 29?
The Senate of New Jersey, hear?
ing reports that the New York
Legislatur, was likely to pass the
bill repealing the daylight saving
law, declined to pass a daylight
saving bill for this state to-night,
despite a second special message
on the subject sent by Governor
I Edwards.
It was said that there were
enough votes in the Senate to
pass the bill should assurance
come that thero would be a state
wide daylight, saving law in New
York. As there seemed to be
some doubt that the laws of the
two sates would be in harmony if
the New Jersey bill was passed,
the Senate decided to lay the
measure over until to-morrow af
j ternoon.
| daylight saving, but added that if a
New Jersey State bill would adjust the
I situation it should be passed.
"The whole thing should be a Fed
I oral regulation," Senator Brown said,
1 "instead of separate laws for cities,
? towns and states, as it causes a lot of
confusion, and something* should be
j done to clarify the situation, as busi?
ness will be demoralized if the condi
j tion is continued.
"The daylight saving bill, which is
? now in the Senate, was not moved, as
? a majority of the members is op
! posed to its passage. If it will clear
i the present situation %>y having a bill
passed determining a standard time for
New Jersey, a bill should be passed for
: that purpose."
Every orfice, factory, school, individ?
ual apd institution in Paterson, N. J.,
? except the County Court house and
the Paterson District Court adopted the
New York daylight saving time yester
; day. The County Court officials took
? the ground that they could not change
the time in the courthouse without
| legislative authority. Much confusion
j resulted, witnesses coming in an hour
I lute, judges having to change their
watches when they reach tho court
j house, and newspaper men, whose of
fices use one time and the courts an
| other, being altogether upset. It is
! thought that the situation will be re
j lieved within a day or two.
! PHILADELPHIA, March 29.?Phila
delphia began to-day to adjust itself to
New York, which is running on a day?
light saving schedule. There was some
confusion ns a result of misunder tend?
ings regarding the now time. The r-fock

CARMEL. N. Y., March 29.?A reso?
lution opposing the New York State
daylight saving law and demanding its
rppeal was unanimously adopted at a
mass meeting of farmers of Putnam
-?and Westchester counties here to-day.
SYRACUSE, N. Y., March 29.?De?
mand for repeal of th. daylight Paving
law was voiced to-day in practically
every agricultural community in the
state.
Meetings were held under the
auspices of the State Grange., the Fed?
eration of County Farm Bureaus and
the Dairymen's League.
Speakers claimed daylight saving
was an injustice to the farmer ana
in many cases would result in a de?
crease of production. Legislative lead?
ers, they said, would be held personally
responsible for failure to grant the re?
lief sought. Resolutions calling for
; immediate action were adopted at all

Steamship Owners Call
On U. S. to Eiiil Strike
Tie-Up of Coastwise Trade De>
elared to Inflict Serious
Hardship on Public
The American Steamship Owners' As.
socintion has appealed to ?Secretary of
I Labor Wilson for aid in adjusting the
general strike of longshoremen which
has tied up coastwise shipping on the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
The organization asserts the ?strike
is inflicting great hardships, not only
on farmers and manufacturers who are
unable to get their goods to market,
1 but on the public as well.
"You are doubtless aware," the ap?
peal continues, "that the position of
? the steamship companies is an xcep
tionally difficult one, becau*se of their
?inability to command even- a sightly
i higher rate of freight to compensate
1 in any degree for the largely inc;eased
i expenses of operation. The result is :i
deadlock which should have the im
I mediate attention of the Federal gov?
ernment, in the interest of the many
millions of persons whose prosperity
j and comfort are involved in this in
; tolerable situation.
"In the name of the American Stenm
t ship Owners' Association, which in
i eludes these coastwise steamship ser?
vices in its membership, we urge you
j to give your personal attenti? n to
?remedying the situation abov de
| scribed. We believe the magnitude of
i the interests concerned demands t'iis
? and will abundantly justify the utmost
J effort of yourself and your assoc ates."

It has been singularly free from

1. Delivers more work in a given time.
2. Loses less time on the job and off the job.
3. Costs less to operate and less to maintain.
4. Lasts longer, depreciates less and commands
a higher resal? price at all times.

Rectory Wrecked, Plighted
Pair Routed with Shovel
| Shot At by Pursuer, Attacked by Automobilist, and
Finally Subdued by Two Policemen, James Gal
lagher's Tour of Destruction Ends inRospital
Filled with desire for the complete j
demolition of everything, James Galla?
gher", of 4607 Park Avenue, armed him?
self with a shovel last night and started
out to slake his thirst for destruction.
In five minutes, crammed with more
action than ever a movie achieved in
that many reels, he wrecked the rectory
of the Rev. Father Francis P. Duffy,
chaplain of the old 69th Regiment and
rector of the Church of Our Sa\*ior,
183d ?Street and Washington Avenue.
He also chased a plighted couple who
had come to see Father Duffy screaming
up stairs, down again and out into the
streets; pursued a man who shot at
him; attacked an automobile that tried
to run over him, and mussed up two
policemen before they subdued him.
Lato last night Dr. Lerner, of Ford
ham Hospital said that Gallagher was
resting quietly and added that the
j nature of the patients inspiration
j had not been determined, further than
? that it was not alcoholic.
Peace and silence brooded over
! Washington Avenue last evening. From
1 the church, where service was in prog
i ress, came the soothing chords of t( .
i organ, but they had no such effect on
! Gallagher, as shovel in hand, he en
i tered the rectory at 2317.
Plighted Couple Make Dash
The bashful couple in the receptior
room stopped holding hands as he en
tered and stared as the intruder spa
on his hands, assumed a position mad?
famous by "Babe" Ruth and swung his
shovel. Two hearts that beat as on?
impelled the plighted pair to duel
simultaneously, yell in chorus and rusl
upstairs together, where they mot th<
amazed Father Duffy, who, on hearing
what had happened, hurried to the thin
floor to telephone the police.
While trying to pet his number, he
beard other things. Crashes and thumps
from the first floor bore witness that
statues and fui nishinjrs of the rectory
were being demolished by the -shovel. '
Then came the noise of one pair of feet
coming upstairs, more yells from the
lovers who just dodged another swipe
of the shovel, and the sound of three
pairs of feet going down. A door
slammed and the peace and quiet of
Washington Avenue was gone for keeps.
The warlike howls of Gallagher
mingled with the shrieks of the fleeing
pair. An unidentified man, going
somewhere on business of his own with
a revolver, seeing the couple pursued
by a maniac intent on shoveling them,
fired three shots.
Gallagher skidded to a stoop and
bore down, shovel swinging, on his new
foe, who cast his pistol from him and
lied screaming toward a saloon.
In the mean time services in the
church had stopped and a thousand
parishioners were pouring into the
street, searching for the social revolu?
tion that their ears told them was ir
progress. Gallagher, still chanting the
joys of combat at the top of his vaice
was bearing down on the saloon when
his late enemy had run to earth, wher
Nathan Albert and his wife, of 222?
Webster Avenue, came along in theii
automobile. Albert tried to run dowi
the disturber, but Gallagher swung hi
shovel against the front wheels of th
car, nearly overturning it, and kep
on toward the saloon.
Before he reached it Patrolme
Collins and Harten, with a hastily en
li ited force of deputies recruited froi
the adjourned church service, close
in upon him and bore him to eart
through force of numbers. They thru;
bim into Albert's car and started fc
the Bronx Park police. Subdued phyi
ically, Gallagher still clamored for ai
tion in so picturesque a fashion th)
the police couldn't bear to have hi
around the station and sent for s
ambulance. After the ambulance su
?.'eon had administered sedatives tl
man was taken to the hospital, whe:
he immediately went to sleep.
Whisky .Arrest Causes
Miniature Naval Battle
Special Dispatch te Ths Tribuns
BALTIMORE, March 29.?A minia?
ture nayal battle took place off the
Florida coast when revenue agents in
a gasoline boat were speeding for the
American shore with Charles Vincenti,
president of the Trisca company, of
Baltimore, who was brought hero to?
day from Florida and released on
$20,000 bail on an indictment charging
him with conspiracy to violate war?
time prohibition.
Revenue Agent John Person gave out
a statement telling of the alleged kid?
naping of the whisky dealer, as fol?
lows:
"Arthur Johnson, internal revenue
agent, was sent to Florida -tvlth a war?
rant for the arrest of Vincenti, who
was supposed to be on the island of
Bimini with whisky which he was ship?
ping into Florida.
"Johnson and 'his aids were met by
Vincenti, who tried to sell them a boat?
load of whisky. He assured them that
they could land it on the Florida coast
without any difficulty because he had
'everybody fixed.'
"When Vincenti came aboard, which
he did of his own free will, the officers
headed for the Florida coast. Vincenti
saw he had been duped and put up a
fight, biting one of the officers almost
through the finger.
"When the launch was ten miles off
the coast a boatload of men from the
island overtook them and demanded the
i return of Vincenti, They opened fire
on the launch, but no one was hit."
