Hirsch Charges
Political Plot to
Steal Loan Plan
Ex-Chairman of Mayor's
Rent Body Says Scheme
for State Housing Aid Is
To Be Made Election Issue
Rumors Involve Hylan
Accuser Asserts .Copeland
Will Withdraw Support;
Doctor Disavows Threat
Nathan Hirsch, former chairman of
the Mayor's Committee on Kent
Profiteering:, charged yesterday that
a piot was under way to divert a state
building loan plan, which lie, Health
Commissioner Copeland. Samuel Gom?
pers and local labor representatives
had devised, into an issue to catch
votes at the next mayoralty election.
Mr. Hirsch did not mention names,
but it has been common rumor around
City Hall for several days fiat Tam?
many and the other elements backing
Mayor llyian for reelection had their
eyes on the housing question.
At the fame time Mr. Hirsch made
public the details of his state housing
plan. It would set up a building and
loan association, controlled by the
state, financed by a state appropria?
tion of $100.000 000. lending money on
6 per cent mortgage to builders of
homes and apartment houses and is?
suing 5M per cent housing bonds, the
proceeds from the sale of which would
be reinvested in additional housing
'oans.
Informs Gompers of Stand
In asserting the existing of a plot
to make a campaign issue of the
question. Mr. Hirsch served noticx
tr.at he would have nothing further to
i!o with the state aid project until
he was satisfied the politicians would
keep their hands off. He informel!
Mr. Gompers of his feelings in the
following telegram to the head of tin
American Federation of Labor at
Washington :
"I am reliably informed that my
state building loan plan, which you
favor, is about to be used for ques?
tionable political purposes. 1 have
informed the newspapers that you,
Copeland, labor and myself will not
stand for being used in this plot; that
we will back the plan only if it is
used wholly and sincerely in the pub?
lic interest."
Comnrssioner Copeland said last
(?ver.ini: that Mr. Hirsch's use of his
name in this regard was "unauthor?
ized."
"1 think Mr. Hirsch is unduly con?
cerned." Dr. Copeland added. "I
don't know that there is any copy?
right on the housing plan or any
tiier plan for the public good. The
ncople of New York need houses and
! am going to do all I can to get
'hem. If private capital won't, fur?
nish the money the state will have to
do so. 1 will work with anybody,
be he an?rel or devil, to achieve that
end."
Several Withdraw Support
Last Saturday night at the Hotel
Marseilles, Mr. Hirsch, Dr. Copeland,
Mr. Gompers and a number of repre
-entatives of the Central Trades and
Labor Council met to formulate plans
'or state housing aid to be submitted
to the Legislature. Mr. Hirsch said his
building loan plan, as a general propo?
sition, met with favor. Appointment
of a commit;ee of 100 citizens to work
out the details was authorized. Since
the discovery of the reputed plot to
turn the proposal into a Hylan cam
naign issue several prominent citizens,
it was said, had withdrawn their con?
sent to serve on suc), a committee.'
Gossip in political circles has it that
Peter -f. Brady, admittedly ;. power in
the Central Trades and Labor Council,
has been busying himself in an en
leavor to divert the housing plan from
constructive, nun - partisan chanml?
into a Tammany-Hylan catch-vote slo?
gan. Mr Brady is one of the Mayor's
principal advisers, is. counted on large?
ly to keep the union labor vote in
? ? and holds the $6,000-a-year job
? ?f Supervisor of The City Record. Mr.
Brady was not present at the Hotel
Marseilles meeting.
A bill containing many of the chief
features of the Hirsch plan has been
introduced in the Legislature by Sena?
tor James J. Walker, Tammany ?pokes
man in the upper house at Albany.
Mr. Hirsch's explanation of his plan'
follows:
"Briefly my plan, considered consti?
tutional by competent legal authorities,
is this:
"The onl> practical solution of the
New York City housing problem is a
. t?te building and mortgage loan pro?
tected by satisfactory safeguards and
properly administered without political
interference. Private capital has failed
,n the present housing cri.Ms, and it is
juy sincere belief that in a state loan
to" builders lies the only hope of avert?
ing chaos and rain in the city.

: aggregating $100,000.000. I advocate
I tho appointment of a non-partisan,
j r.on-political commission, with a sub?
committee in each city having n popu?
lation of 500.000 or more, which shall
administer the fund and allot building
loan moneys under a carefully worked

cal aggrandizement.
"Tin* commission would finance two ?
kinds of residential building projects
first, the small one or two family
dwelling for the occupancy of the
owner, and, second, the largo multi
family house.
"The suggested procedure in the case
o." the first mentioned group would be
as follows:
"The homeseeker would apply to the
commission for aid. Ho would furnish
the lot free and clear. The commission
would detcrmin? the type of houso besl
suited for the lot and supply the de?
sired sot of plans. The commission
would thon advance to tho builder a
building loan, for the full value of the
house, hot in excess of SO por cent of
the combined value of the land and
building, taking back a 6 por cent first
mortgage loan equal to the amount of
the building loan plus the land. Ar?
rangements would be made for the
amortization of this mortgage through
semi-annual payments, so that at the
end of fifteen or twenty years the
property would be owned free and
clear.
"The houso would be erected under
the direct supervision of a state archi?
tect. Upon completition of the build?
ing operation this mortgage would be
offered to the public as a tax-exempt
,"'?'.? per cent, housing bond, and tho
I roceeds made available for reinvest?
ment. The !-j per cent profit on
the transaction could easily pay all the
expenses of the commission am! its
staff.
"In the loan for an apartment house
Improvement every facility could bo
offered for the reputable builder to ob?
tain a good return on his investment.
He would be asked to provide the site
tree and clear, ?nd establish to the
satisfaction of the commission bis
qualifications for undertaking con?
struction of this kind. The commission
(hen would advance to him a building
?oan at the 6 per cent rate, under the
same procedure as in the cuse of the
private house builder. Standardization
cf rents guaranteeing him a suitable
return might follow. Other details
,'ilso could be worked out to safeguard
the interests of the tenant, the builder
and the state."
irregular Trend Shown
in Steel Trade Activity
"Although it is doubtful that the
rate of buying amounts to as much |
as 25 per cent of the country's capacity '.
in rolled steel, accumulated orders ;
have resulted in the resumption of in- ;
dependent plants in the Middle West," :
says The Iron Ape. "In one or two
cases activity follows a three months'
shutdown and re?mployment is com?
monly at a 20 per cent wage reduction.
Purchases from the automobile trade
have helped, but stocks in manufac?
turers' liands seem still to satisfy to
a marked c tent, especially in " the ?
East,
"A sharp falling away of the activi?
ties of the Steel Corporation subsidi- :
aries has brought the steel industry
as a whole probably below a 35 per
cent operation. The Carnegie Steel
Company has withdrawn the blast on
eight furnaces in the week and ex?
pects to have three more idle shortly,
and one more corporation furnace is
idle in the Chicago district. Tho cor- .
poration's rate of steel making is about .
-15 per cent."
The Iron Trade Review says: "Re?
duced prices for steel ??noted by the
independent producers added to the
approach of open weather conditions;
appear to be having more effect in ;
stimulating the placing of new busi- ;
ness. Miscellaneous tonnage, though'
far from being in satisfactory volume,
is being released by buyers with less
reluctance, as compared with the stag
nant condition of trade in recent
weeks. How much o,' this represents
a clear addition to the total tonnage
of the market, however, cannot bo said
with as urance, in view of the con?
tinued contraction of production by
Steel Corporation mills under their
higher price policy."
U. S. to Bury Unknown
Soldier Armistice Day
Harding Probably Will Make
Principal Address Novem?
ber 11 at Arlington
from Thr Tribune's Washington Hurrnn
WASHINGTON, March 16.?Armis?
tice Day (November 11) has been se?
lected as the date for the burial of the
unidentified American soldier as the
nation's memorial to the unknown dead
of the World War in Arlington Na?
tional Cemetery, Secretary of War
Weeks said to-day. President Harding
lias approved the date, and he is cx
pected to make the chief memorial ad?
dress in the ceremonies which will at?
tend the burial of the American hero.
Authorization for the return of an
unknown American soldier for burial
in Arlington was given by Congress in
the bill sponsored by Representative
Fish, of New York.
It is expected that appropriate pro?
vision will be made for returning the
body on an American transport or bat
'leship, and that ceremonies will be
hi Id at the Port of New York when the
body arrives.
The graves registration service of
the War Department, which is now en?
gaged in the work of identifying the
unknown American soldiers buried in
France, ha smade good progress in the
task, there remaining only 1,240 bodies
which lack complete identification. Of
this number 40 per cent will lie perma?
nently in cemeteries overseas. The re?
mainder will be brought to this coun?
try.

Recognition of Mexico
GALVESTON, March If,.?Without ,
absolute assurance oi protection for
American interests in Mexico the
United States would not be justified in
extending recognition to the Obregon
government, Guy Stevens, director oi
the Associ?t um of Producers of Pe?
troleum in Mexico, announced here to?
night at the close of the first day's
conference of oil company executives '
and field superintendents from the j
southern republic.
As spokesman for the conference Mr. !
Stevens declared that so long as Ar- ]
tide XXY1I in the constitution of Mex
ico held out a threat of confiscation of
American oil property and *o long as j
tho Mexican Federal zone law re- ,
n allied in effect the oil interests will
oppose recognition of the southern re?

idea that the Mexican question is set

that no plans or suggestions were

either to Wash ngton or Mexico.

Non-Magnetic Ship
Completes X-Ray of
Earth's Atmosphere
Experiments Make Ahsolntr
Myth Out of General Be
lief That Compass Always
Points Directly North
SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.--Tho
Carnegie Institution of Washington
hns just completed what, might bo
termed an X-ray of the earth's nt
mosphore, and has forwarded from
hero all data in regard to the experi?
ment, which was mndo through the
use of tho non-magnetic shin Carnegie,
which arrived here recently.
Tin' X-ray was in the form of obser?
vations of compass and other magnetic
variations on all of tho earth's oceans,
these variations being traced in the
atmosphere by two specially designed
instruments called a deflector and
magnometer. These tracings later will
be shown on n chart, which might be
likened to the X-ray pinte; this chart
will be made available to every navy
and merchant marine on earth as a
guide to navigation, as nearly exact as
it is humanly possible to make such
a guide.
So intensively nnd penetrating did
the instruments work, aided by the
utter absence of magnetic attraction
by everything else on the vessel, that
certain degrees of longitude in the
li.?!i:ni Ocean were found recently to
be radically different from tho best.
charts and projections available up to
that time. In some instances these
diff?rence? amounted to several min
utes.
Compass Theory a Myth
There is a constant play of these
variations over the magnetic fields,
and the cause of this play or change,
although exhaustively theorized upon,
never has been exactly explained, the
Carnegie scientists said These mag?
netic changes make the utilization of
the non-magnetic ship and its instru?
ments and tho preparation of new;
harts constantly necessary. For in?
stance, a mariner using a magnetic
chart prepared by the institution ten
years ago could not steer as accurately
as if he consulted a chart prepared but
a year ago.
The shin mndo an absolute nv th out.
of the g meral belief that the compass
always points directly north. It added
convincing proof to the scientific
theory that there are only'two longi?
tudinal lines, one of them extrem?is
irregular, where such a thing occurs.
Whenever a ship crosses one of these
Miies the com? ass will get the direct
polaric influence. Everywhere else it
will point either east of north or west
t f north.
In the taking ?if these figurative
X-rays and the compilation of its data,
sometimes int.'re tingly geographical
as well as magnetic, the Ca?nogie has
?raveled mon than 300 000 miles since
she was launched June 12, 1909. She
is the on vessel credited with laving
circumnavigated the globe in the sub
Antarctic regions. In this voyage, en?
tirely within the confines of the Great
Southern Ocean, which has come to 1"'
the scientific name for the Antarctic,
she stopped but once, that being at the
and oi Georgia, a whaling station
in the South Pacific.
Tossed by Storms
On the present voyage, which began
in October, 1919, she touched at French
West Africa, Buenos Ayres, the island
of St. Helena, wjiere Napoleon was
exiled; Cape Town, Ceylon, Australia,
New Zealand, Papeete, the Fanning
islands and San Francisco. She will go
from here to Samoa and the Panama
Canal and then homo to Washington
The Carnegie was compelled to use
her auxiliary gas engine a number of
times to take her out of equitorial
calm belts and to . help drive her
through storm-tossed seas when the
sails were in danger of blowing away.
This engine contains the only magnetic
influence on board, but ii is so far
away from the recording instruments
hat it has absolutely no effect on
them.
I lie Carnegie carri?>s a complement
of twenty-three persons. Captain J. P.
Ault, of Washington, has full charge
of both the navigation of the vessel
and the recording of the magnetic data.
il;, is assisted by a second in command,
Lieutenant II. F. Johnston, of the Brit?
ish navy, who resides in Toronto. An?
drew Thompson, Toronto; Robert M.
Kills, Washington, and 11. Ii". Grum
mann, Lincoln, Neb., act as observers.
The Carnegie is not a government
enterprise, but is solely under the
direction of the department of terres

stitution.
Patten Must Stand Trial
Former Magistrate Denied Dis?
missal of Indictment
Supreme Court Justice Jen:'. M Tier?
nos', in the Bronx County Court yes
day, decided that ex-Magistrate IL nry
D. Patten, under indictment for elec
tion irregularities in 1917, would have
,?j stand trial, Justice Tiern y denied
a motion To dismiss an indictment
against Patten, holding that inasmuch
as Justice Mitchell already had over?
ruled a demurrer raised by Patten, he
believed the present motion to dismiss
was merely a reargument of the same
question previously passed upon by
Justice Mitchell.
Justice Tierney set the case down
for trial in Part l, Supreme Court, the
Bronx, for Mardi 28. Patten w i
dieted NovemlAr 22, 1917, for alleged
duress and intimidation of voters. Ac?

Berlin Beggars Develop
"School of Shell-Shock"
BERLIN, Feb. 23 (By Mail).?Dis?
honest beggars, seeking to ex.-*.' pub?
lic sympathy, have developed a "school
of shell-shock here." according to
physicians who have had an opportu?
nity to examine some of the men who
have been suddenly taken with ter
rible fits of trembling on the crowded
streets.
The graduates have learn?.1 th?
teel nique ? f shaking as if
from chronic ague. They walk al ing,
shaking the while, and frequ ntly they
fall down in front ct or near persons
who look as though they had some
spare money, tremble a moment and
become rigid, the eyes fixed, the face
purpling.
l'olicemen rush up, give the mnn a
qrr-cK examination, and if they think
he. is not faking they give him first
aid and permit those who wish to
give him some money.
One of the first things done, how
over, is to examine the eyes. If they
flicker, or tho eyeballs move, the case
is usually p ron hi need a fake. Some
beggars have learned the business so
well that they puzzle tho doctors.
Discussing these allege,! shell ' - .?--,
cases, a physician said some of th? m
had absolutely no injuries from their
war service, and were simply "n
ing men who really had been hurt,
