Commission Had Form?

A reeeirer was asked for the Inter
boroog'j lUpid Transit Company in an
fqnity suit filed against it yesterday
with the clerk of the United States
Bistrifft Court. The complainant is the
American Brake ?Shoe and Foundry
Company, a Delaware corporation. The
foundry company claims $57,074.90 due
It for brake shoes and castings furn?
ished the Interborough company.
The floating indebtedness of the de?
fendant for materials, equipment, taxes
and sapplies is upward of $3,000,000,
?jcWding to the bill of complaint. This
amount, the complaint states, is now
overdue and the defendant unable to
par.
Rollins Stock Threaten^
The complaint further states that
certain creditors are pressing for pay- ;
ment, that suits are threatened, that
e_eeutions may be levied on equipment ?
j.dproperty of the defendant, and that j
there is grave danger the defendant may !
thereby be deprived of the use of its ,
equipment and rolling stock. It is a!- ]
itged also that, for the benefit of the I
public and for the creditors, it is desir
?ble that the operation of the subway ;
?nd elevated lines be kept intact.
A long history of the Interborough
company from its organization in 1902 |
to the pre.ent time is given in the bill j
?i complaint. The biil says a receiver
3 necessary to protect creditors. The j
suit was made on behalf of any other ?
creditors who may care to join, the
-tier:. . j
Because the Transit Commission is I

precipitated by the application for a,

Plans Made for Relief
?'While I do not know the full details
of this suit," he said, "I am aware that
for some time the Interborough inter?

"However, our commission has been

"Does this "ian include any decision

O'Malley Denies He Will Quit,
Then Accuses "Food Interests"
Senator Meyer Says Hylan's Refusal to Remove Mar?
ket Commissioner Equivalent to Indorsement;
Army Food Sale Report Analyzed
After a conference between Com
I missioner of Markets O'Malley and
j Mayor Hylan yesterday, it was re?
ported that the Commissioner had
tendered his resignation as the result
of th.? graft disclosures by the Meyer
I legislativo committee involving his
| department, but that it was refused.
Commissioner O'Malley later denied
to reporters he intended to resign,
adding he, "would continue his light,"
I and was awaiting an opportunity to go
on the witness stand and refute the
j testimony reflecting upon his depart
j ment as a "pack of lies." He referred
to the witnesses as "tools of the food
! trust."
It was said that the Commissioner
i had offered to retire and relieve the
j Mayor of any embarrassment, but that
the Mayor opposed his leaving before
j he had a chance to reply to the al
j legations made respecting him.
O'Malley denounced Barnet Cohen,
1 the poultry dealer, who testified to
! having been asked by O'Malley in the
j course of an automobile ride "how
I much money he had to invest" a^d that
i later on he was refused a market stand
I permit becau-e he said O'Malley told
him "he was not a good customer of
his."
"Cohen never was taken on an auto?
mobile ride by me," said the Commis?
sioner. "His story is absolutely false
and unbelievable. 1 never asked him
what lie could invert in anything and
didn't say he was 'not a good customer
of mine.' When the committee resumes
its hearings next wet^k I ?m going to
demand that I be heard with respect
to Cohen's testimony. In justice to
me that privilege should be accorded.
I shall insist upon taking the witness
stand to refute his assertions.
"Cohen was refused a permit be?
cause he was unreliable, irresponsible
and unfitted to conduct a business on
city property. He first was ousted
from the market by Dr. Jonathan C.
Day when the latter was Commission?
er, on account of business difficulties.
Coheu appealed to Mayor Hylan, who
advised me to give hjrn another chance,
as he was a poor man. I gave him
that chance, but found he couldn't op?
erate. Ho and his partner, Jacobs,
also were quarreling. They came to
me with their troubles and made com?
plaints against each other.
"Cohen then tried to get a stand for
himself, but his past troubles con?
vinced ine he was not a proper mer?
chant for the market. Finally Coher,

Gang-Fighting
Policeman Is
Found Slain
Daniel Neville's Body, With j
Bullet in Heart, Discov-i
ered in Dark Lot in the
Center of Hell's Kitchen
Victim of Drug Addicts
Believed to Have Been Way?
laid by Men He Had Been
Trailing for Evidence
Patrolman Daniel- Neville, of the
West Thirtieth Street police station,
was found dead with a bullet wound in
his heart shortly after 9 o'clock last ;
night by a fellow patrolman in a vacant
lot at 544 West Thirty-ninth Street, the
center of Hell's Kitchen. A general j
alarm -was sent out following the dis- !
covery of the body and a round-up of ?
all gangsters in the section was begun '
at once. Patrolman Neville, who had
been active in fighting gangsters of the
section, is believed to have been killed
by a group of drug addicts he had been
seeking for some time past to get "with
the goods."
Neville was found by Patrolman ]
, SchatYer, also of the West Thirtieth
| Street station, and a personal friend
? of the slain policeman. Schaffcr was !
: standing at the corner of Thirty-ninth
. Street and Ninth Avenue, when a little |
i boy walked up tu him.
"Hey, mister policeman, I know where |
, there's another policeman and he's j
awful sick. He's groanin' like any?
thing." the little fellow said. "He's
: over in thai lot near the corner, up by I
our house."
Revolver Clutched in Hand
The little boy delivered this infor-j
mation at the safe distance of three'
feet and at the top of his voice. When
the policeman came closer to get de- !
tails the little boy turned and darted \
down Ninth Avenue.
Patrolman Schaffer went to the lot
at 544 West Thirty-ninth Street. Tie ?
could hear no sounds and the place was j
so dark that it was necessary to use'
his pocket Hash to cross it. War the;
middle o!' the lot the rays of the light!
fell on a patrolman's cap. After switch?
ing the light around in a w?ne circle
. for several minutes. SchafTer found the i
prone body of his friend.
Neville was lying on hi? back, a bul
I let wound in his heart. His revolver
was clutched in his rignt hand, but it
had not been discharged. SchafTer suni
moced an ambulance from the. New
York Hospital, and Dr. Sutton, who re- !
I'd, pronounced Neville d'-ad. De-|
teetives of the West Thirtieth Street :
tation and the homicide "quad were
notified at once. The medical exam?
iner's office refused the ??p-k sergeant
at. the West Thirtieth Street station
permission to remove the body to the
station house until after it ha?i been
exam i ned.
Known as Gangsters' Foe
Patrolman Neville made his home at!
30 Brooklyn Avenu?-. Jamaica, L. i. l?o
had been on the po?ce force since May
?i. 1907, and was known for his good
character and hi-, fearless attitude ?n
handling desperate gangs ami their
leaders.
Eight months go, when the West
l Thirty-seventh Street police station'
was closed, he was transferred to the
West Thirtieth Street station and as?
signed to a post in Hell's Kitchen. Ho
immediately became active in rounding
up the gangs of that section, and was
recently engaged in following the opcr-i
ations of a gang of drutr addicts.
Detectives of the West Thirtieth
Street station said lust night that the
slain patrolman had been ordered to
enter the lot evory night while cover ?
ing his post. They expressed the opin?
ion that members f,f this gang may;
have knov.-n of Neville's nightly vigil,

Revenue To Be Increased
_ i
Snioot Would Abolish All
'Nuisance' Levies; Action
Likely to Spur Biisiue?.*
From The Tribune's VTashirato-n Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.?The Senate
Finance Committee decided to-day to
enter on the consideration of the \3.\
bill ahead of the tariff bill. The deci?
sion was reached by the Republican
members of the committee in an execu?
tive session. The committee will con?
tinue tariff hearings Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday and will begin work
on the tax bill Thursday. No hearings
will be held on taxation, as the com?
mittee already has held extended hear?
ings on that subject.
Important changes will be made in
the House bill and the Finance Com?
mittee will in all probability greatly
increase the total sum to be raised by
taxation under the bill. Senator Smoot,
! one of the Republican leaders on the
committee, estimated that it would be
necessary to increase the bill $-100,000,
000 to $500,000,000 over the House bill.
The House bill, according to estimates,
would raise about $2,700,000,000.
Would Lift "Nuisance Taxes"
"There will be numerous changes in
the bill," said Senator Smoot. "If I had
my way. I would take every one of those
'nuisance taxes' out of the legislation.
We can and should raise, all the taxes
necessary from si:?: different sources,
the income tax, the corporation tax, the
inheritance tax, the tobacco and liciuor
ta*ir?, the receipts from customs ami.
if it Is not desired to adopt a sales 'tax
outright, a manufacturers' tax."
Senator ?'enrose, chairman of the
Finance Committee, announced 'hat 'he
committee would work night and day
on the ti;'?' bill. It will be the purpose
to have the ta?; hill ready for the Sen
ate when that body reconvenes after
!'.-?- recess. September 21. Senator Pen
r.ise .said the bill would he pressed to
passage as soon as possible in the
Senate.
I'll ? decision to lay aside the tant)
'mil is generally taken to mean thai
?this bill cannot become a lav-* until
the last of November at the earliest,
and^that it probably will not be en?
acted until the recular session, win.'1;
meets tin*' tirst Monday in December.
The program of dealing with taxation
first is the one favored by President
iiarding. It has been opposed all along
by Chairman Fordney and most of
the other Ways and Means Committee
Republicans. Ir the Senate, passes the
tax bill first, however, there will be
no excuse for the House holding back

Jud?t Martin T. Mant?n, of the Fed?

cation of the receivers, turned over to

tered to the United Slates Mail Steam?
ship Company, Inc.
Immediately after they again came
into possession of the board Mr. Lasker
allocated them for joint operation to
the United American Lines, the Roose?
velt Line and Moore & McCormack, Inc.
These companies will operate the ships
for the government's account, without
compensation and as a patriotic serv?
ice, until the Shipping Board otherwise
disposes of them by sale or charter.
U. 3. to Reimburse Immigrants
_ One of the most important revela?
tions made public by the chairman was
the allegation that the Mail Line had
collected $1,200,000 advance money
from immigrants and had disposed of
this cash in such a manner that none
of it was found upon a financial in?
vestigation of the concern. The gov
ernment has agreed to honor these im?
migrant" tickets, make good tho cash
deposits and take an assignment from
the immigrants of their claim against
the Mail Line.
Seldom has a more distinguished
group of financiers in shipping circles
occupied the. legal department of the
Shipping Board than that ?which at?
tended the meeting called by Mr. Lask?
er yesterday afternoon upon his re?
turn from court.
Among those present were W. Ave

counsel for the board: J. Barstow
Smull, vice-president of the Emergency

Marshall Kullitt, special counsel for the
government, and several minor officials.
.Mr. Lasker at onco launched into a
statement disclosing the government's
side of the light.
"This is ail [ have to say, gentle?
men," he said at its conclusion. "I
,_m now going away to the woods for
ten days and no further statements
will be made by the board during my
absence.''
Mr. Lasker admitted, however, that
the board had only begun its battle
against companies which are, using
Shipping Board ships without com?
pensating their owner. He intimated
that criminal proceedings would bo
brought against one of the biggest
operator:;, and that another firm which
purchased vessels anil has defaulted
in payments would soon be rounded up
in a manner similar to that employed
against the Mayers.
Judge Charles Mayer and his sou,
Captain Francis R. Mayer, could not
be reached yesterday afternoon at
their office, 120 Broadway. It is sup?
posed that they ere on the former's
yacht o_; the Atlantic Yacht Club.
Elmer Schlesinger said that the
Shipping Board would immediately be?
gin an investigation to lind out if the
'Mayers could be prosecuted, but for
t'oe' present there was nothing on
which they could base such action.

the government of India, with the con?
currence of Edward Spencer Montagu,

cided to take action "ajrainst the prom

' the greater part of the recent troubles

It is felt, says the newspaper, that

fully prepared for fresh efforts to quell
? disorder, should the preventive action
? now being taken not meet with success.
?Must who the "prominent per?

BERLIN, Aug. 27. -The assassina?
tion of Mathias Erzberger, former Vice
Chancellor and Minister of Finance, in
the Black Forest yesterday is attrib?
uted to-day to a political murder ring,
organized in monarchist circles to
crush the present German government.
The conviction is held in authoritative
circles that the Junkers committed the
crime in an effort to precipitate an in?
ternal war, and the question upper?
most here is whether President Ebert,
Chancellor Wirth and their follower??
will be able to throttle these efforts of
the Nationalists.
The assassination of Eiv.bcrger, the
man most hated by Karl Helfferich
General Ludendorff and the entire Kai?
serist group, is regarded as the climu>;
of the. campaign or murder, which be?
wail with the killing of Liebknecht anc
Rosa Luxemburg and has now laic
low one of the leaders of new dem?
ocratic Germany.
Cabinet Discusses Situation
At a hurriedly called meeting o:
the Cabinet and forty leaders of the
Democratic Republicans to-day it wa1
decided that the government can n<
longer remain inactive in view bf th?
latest crime of its opponents, who, ':'
their own newspapers, call for an un
broken series of meetings throughou

Erzberger, even in the tempor?r;
retirement arising out of his eor.fi ie
with former Vice-Chancellur Helf
fferich, was acknowledged to be th
guiding force behind the Wirth gov
ernment. Ue was expected to retur
to active political life with the reas
sembiing of the Reichstag late nex
month and assume the leadership o
the government forces on the floor o
Parliament. It was no secret that e.x
treme Nationalists had been drive
wild with frenzy over the prospect o
his return.
Planned Renewal of Fight
Fully exonerated by the courts o
the charges o?" fraud hurled at hir
by Helfferich, Erzberger planned t
resume his light against the forces o
the old Germany, which he held re
sponsiblc for Germany's downfall. Hi

BARNSLEY, England, Aug. 27.
(By ?he Associated Press).?Th?
separation of Ireland from the
United Kingdom would bring on
the most cruel and bitter civil
war that island has ever seen.
Premier Lloyd George said to-d.iv
in an address here. Such a war, he
added, would affect the peoples or
the British Empire throughout the
world. It would draw aid to both
sides in the battle from ad parts of
the world. England could not wit?
ness euch a struggle at her doors,
he asserted, nor could Great Britain
countenance the tearing up of the
kingdom.
The Premier called on the lead?
ers uf Ireland for the courage t?i
face their followers and force the:n
to yield to an honorable peace. This
was the sort of courage needed now,
he said, and lie expressed the hope
that common sense would prevail
ami good counsel be heeded. He ar?
gued that freedom had been offered
to Ireland, the same sort of free
??<?ni that war.; enjoyed by Australia
?t?? the other great dominions, a
place as "a free people in ide of n
free f?d?ration of peoples."

Baid. "They are term i which commend
