INQUIRY '-GHASTLY JOKE" Scientist Sees Aim to Make Political Footballs Out of Semi-Public Museums. Charges of mismanagement of the Bronx Zoological Park and recommen dations thnt the city take over contr.il from the New York Zoological Socletv are made In a report released yesterdav for publication by David HlrnhfHd. Commissioner of Accounts, who con ducted an Investigation of the Zoo. Commissioner HlrshfleM assails Dr. Wllllnin T. Hornaday, director, and says lie rules the Zoo like an "autocrat a monarch In his own principality and looks down with disgust upon the com mon people." What prompted the In vestigation la hot stated, but It Is known thnt Mayor Hylan la very strong for the common people. The report takes up In detail the ar langetnent whereby the city and society acted Jointly In establishing the Zoo. with the stipulation that the Society have control and that nny money ac cruing to It should be spent for ani mals for the institution. Mr. Hlrshfleld's principal objections concern the use of municipal funds and buildings by the privilege department, which sells con cessions, &c, but he does not charge that the money thus received did not go as agreed for Incteaslng the animal col lection. Xot Permtted tft Tcatfy. After being Informed yesterday that the report had been mado public Dr. Hornaday announced that neither he nor his nephew, II. R. Mitchell, chief clerk, had been permitted in the eleven months of the investigation to testify or know what charges were being made, and that he Intended, If the charges seemed sufficiently important, to demand "a real Investigation" beforo n Judge or referee. "The Investigation was from begin ning to end a muck raking affair and was distinctly hostile throughout," Dr. Hornaday said. "It occupied eleven months and Mr. Hlrshfteld admits it cost $10,000 and how much more than that I do not know. Viewed from the standpoint of any one familiar with or dinary Judicial procedure the Investiga tion Is a ghastly Joke and travesty on Justice. Mr. Hlrshfield is a narrow minded and Ignorant politician. He has as much Intelligence as a woodchuck and as much Idea of Justice as a wolf. ' 1 believe this Is the entering wedge In un effort to have the city take over the various scientific gardens, museums nnd other Institutions to be the foot balls of politics. That Is a question for the taxpayers nnd men of science who fmu.ded these Institutions to decide, not the politician." LnrBBCK Salaries Srratnlseil. The charges made Include the state ment that Dr. Hornaday receives a sal ary of $8,000 a year, although most of his time Is taken up with society affairs arid personal ' writings : that H. H Mitchell, his nephew, receives two sal aries, one of J3.000 from the city as chief clerk ami another-of J 2.000 from the society us manager of the park privileges. Other personal charges are that Dr. Hornaday ordered the dismissal of a carpenter employed for twenty years by the Zoo after he had testified beforo tho Commlssoner, aid that another em ployee was dismissed because he for bade Mrs. Hornaday to stick her um brella Into the monkey cage. Mr. Mitchell, It Is charged, Is a part ner In, four parcels of Hionx land with Emll Helman, a butcher, who received 150,000 out of city maintenance and about $70,000 out of privilege funds fo" meats purchased for the Zoo animals. It alPo Is alleged that a firm In Kan sas composed of the father and brothers of Dr. Hornaday"? son-in-law received an average of $3 a ton more for alfalfa than It could have been purchased for Commissioner Hlrshfield suggests that the Mayor appoint a committee consist ing of representatives of the society, the Department of Parks', Department of Finance, haw Department and hlm f If to study the advisability of terminat ing the agreement between city and so ciety and taking over the park. NO CLUE TO$10,000 ROBBERY 4 DAYS AGO Merchant Indignant at Police Man Stabbed in Holdup. Samuel Welter, a shoe merchant liv ing at 244 West Fifty-first street, an nounced last night that his apartment was entered last Wednesday and $10,000 worth of Jewolrv, clothing and furnish ings, packed In three of his suit casos, had been stolen. -Mr, Weller reported the robbery to the police Thursday, but was umble to learn, ho nild, whether the detectives hnd found n clue. He was Indignant at what he thought way police Inactivity. He said he could not under stand how burglars could walk away with full suit cases In that section and not attract attention. Arthur Zansardlno, a contractor of LM7S Arthur avenue. The Bronx, was stabbed last night In the neck by one of three holdup men who stopped him in 189th street, near Lorlllard place, and tcok $200 in cash and his watch.

ISBAREDBYHEDLEY Many Sacrifices Mado to Bene fit Public in Opening New Subways. Frank Hedley, president and general manager of (he Interborough Rapid Transit Company, in a statement mado public vesterday, pointed out that the company made many sacrifices to enter upon new contracts to Insure the con struction and operation of the new sub ways and that the preferential entered upon, while satisfactory to the city and accepted by the compnny, was Inade quate and Inequitable. After reciting the difficulties and stumbling blocks placed in the way of tho building of the original subways then more or less of an experiment Mr. Hedley shows that In itndertaking the extensions the company "took risks tho reality of which the present situation fullv demonstrates." "It gave up." says Mr. Hedley, "the certainty of growing profits In Its estab lished business for a 'preferential.' The preferential was limited to the average profit received by the company In 1910 nnd 1911 in operating Its exlstmr lines only. This profit could not be Increased by the city's future growth. "Furthermore, out of this preferential, which was fixed at $G,83G,000, the com pany has to pay Interest and sinking fund upon $52,615,000 of Interborough Rapid Transit Company o per cent, bonds issued to refund the bonds nnd notes outstanding at the time the con tract was made, leaving for compensa tion anil n return upon stock the sum of J3.178.000 a year. "The comprny was to receive upon all Its subsequent ir.vc.-.tmcr.ts, including the cort of building extensions and tho ex cess cost of Initial Woulpment, not a sum proportionate to any Increased earn ing power which the clty'B growth might bring, but a rum equal only to the actual amount of interest and sinking fund it w.n required to pay upon its new obliga tion?. The company can receive no re turn lbove the actual amount of Interest and sinking fund it, was required to pay upon Its new obligations. The company can receive no return above the prefer ential of $3,178,000 a year until the city shall have received a full return upon Its own Investment, after which there Is provision for an 'equal division of surplus profits." 20 MORE NAMES TO ENTER HALL OF FAME N.

GAMBLING RAIDERS ARREST 3 IN NASSAU Get $5,000 in Chips in a Bun galow at East Rockaway. Charles R. Weeks, District Attorney of Nassau county, with the aid of several detectives, raided an alleged gambling house at 20 Waverly avenue, East Rock away, late Saturday night, and after ar resting three men confiscated a bushel of poker chips, a roulette wheel and other gambling paraphernalia. The men gave their names as William G. Thomp son, 268 West Forty-third street, and Thomas Brown and William Williams. They were released on ball of $1,000 each. District Attorney Weeds and his de tectives, Including Carman Plant and Allen O. Myers, approached the five room bungalow Just beforo midnight. The place was In darkness. They forced a door leading Into the main room and finally entered the place, where the Dis trict Attorney said gambling with ex traordinarily high stakes had been go ing on, although of the time of the raid there was no one m the house except the men who were arrested. Mr. Weeks said the house was furnished magnificently ; with hangings and nigi and pictures of 1 great value, and that It evidently catered j to wealthy men and women.

ROUTS HIS ASSASSINS Culprits Barely Escape With v ' Lives in Second Attack Near Brooklyn Church. avTmirm nv T11TITT.VP ONE SMPPhD iX UULhifj L Dr. Carpenter Has Six Shooter Near Him in Pulpit as Ho' Continues War on Evils. Prcochlng the gospel with a six shooter close nt hand and a gang of vice agents constantly trying to kill you might bo calculated to upset the poise and equanimity of almost any minister, ; but not so with the' Rev. Dr. w. Spen cer Carpenter of the Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn. Recause of Dr. Carpenter's attacks on vice and gamblers he became the object Saturday night of tho second attempt to kill him. The attackers, however, barely escaped with their own lives. The preacher fought them up an alley beside his churcji and the last seen of the vice agents they were disappearing over a fence to escape tho bullets from the clergyman's giin. Dr,. Carpenter sat yesterday In his li brary at 182 Duffleld street, with ft bandage around his forehead, his slashed up raincoat lying on a chair close by, several empty cartridge shells on the table and "the rascal" as ho colls his revolver lying under n white handker chief and bulging up the linen In a fashion that would never be noticed. Groups of prosperous looking members of the congregation were streaming In to Inquire how he felt after his hattlo with the "raror swingers," as he called them. "A little bit mussed up," said tho min ister, "but I am not going to let these vice ngentB and their gang run me out of Brooklyn. I will remain here until my time is up and that is a little more than three years away. They cannot frighten me. I faced death on the battle field In the Spanish American war and they cannot make me stop my sermons against gambling nnd other things that are wrong. Decent People With II Ira , He Hair- "The decent people In this whole com munity the white folks an well an the negroes are behind me and nre Indig nant at the assaults. If the time has come when the church cannot stand up against vice then it Is time to closa up the churches. But Just o soon as I get feeling all right again I will be back in the pulpit and I will hit harder than ever. "You know," the preacher continued, as he exhibited a rock that had been banged against his head last November and which he still retained us a souvenir, "this is the second time they have been after me. This is what they tried to get me with before It til Marled around Thanksgiving Day, when I announced that I would preach a series of sermons against vice." From the stories of the police, Dr. Carpenter did a pretty good Job on Sat urday night. He went to his church Just after dark to get a book. He was alone, although he had ben warned by the jrollce not to travel about alone As he was coming from tho church vestibule he was set upon by two men. The min ister overcame the Initial handicap of darknefs and two against one Willi brawny fists ho said he had not used since he got out of the army. Three Shots Fired by Pronober. He knocked one man down and the second, after slashing the preacher's raincoat half a dozen times, fled. Dr. Carpenter hurried to get out his revolver, but with his raincoat slashed and Hap ping he fumbled for a few seconds before "the rascal" got Into action. The (.econd man, who had scrambled to his feet anil ran, was Just disappearing over the back fence when thrcp shots from the old re volver that hail gone through the Spanish-American war went crashing, after htm. The preacher believes one of the bullets did good work, "for they found some blood spots on the fence this morn ing and nlso a razor on the walk near the vestibule door." Dr. Carpenter, who served In the Sixth Massachusetts Infantry during the Span-! I.h-Amerlcan war, said he had not used a gun since those days, nor had he used his (Uts. He said that he did not fear any one molesting his wife or two chil dren and that ho would go about as If nothing had happened. "Hut," he said, "I will always carry 'the rascal' with me." URGENT PLEA MADE TO HELP POOR FUND $525,000 Needed fy Wednes day to Complete Fund. GeorKe HIagden, treasurer of the Asso ciation lor Improving the Conditions of the Poor, announced vesterday that le?s than 50 per cent of the $975,000 sought by the association for Its relief work i thin j ear has been collected In tho cam paign which will close on Wednesday i tt . .. .... i i Aunni,,...i,. : - " "'' 1?, V l"Z TZ ""5 I ...... ..... ...UU... - ...,... .. the relict work is to bo continued effect ively nnd efficiently. , The nine teams of volunteer workers canvassing the city have reported con tributions totalling $150,000. Mr. litag den has urged them to a greater effort so the balance, $525,000. will be col lected before the campaign closes. Mr. Blagden also made public the as sociation's annual financial report. It shows that the organization's relief work cost $886,000 last year. In 1916 It cost $737,385, and the total for 1014 was $532,887. In 1913, tho year before the i outbreak of tho world war, $377,849 was expended by the association. Last year there was a deficit of $2,586. Unless the $975,000 is raised Mr. Blag den declares there will be a deficit this year that will make last year's look small. SOVIETS ORDER 2,000 U. S.

S. New Am sterdam. Four freight cars carried them to Rotter dam. On the way one car was broken open and some of the linens stolen. After that armed guards accompanied the train to the seaport a cargo guarded like gold. The Linen Store is piled high with stacks of the linens that reach nearly to the ceiling. "Great Scott!" said an importer who came in to see them, "I didn't think there were so many linens in nny one place in the world!" "It seems' like the good old days," said a Mother, as she fondled the linens, "they have the real mellow touch that I haven't felt since before the war." "I'll write you out a fifty thousand dollar check," said another importer. "I'll leave the assortment to you give me what you can at your retail prices." Still other importers and even dealers stand ready to take over the whole lot to sell again at a profit. They have made us offers more than enough to cover the entire shipment. . But no! We bought the linens for our retail customers and they shall have first chance. Kvcn before the linens were landed a rep resentative of a large manufacturer looked over a copy of the order and said, "I'll give you 50 per cent, advance on what you paid and import the ijnens myself."
