' N. Y. COURT T(
FINE HARRIMAT
Late Financier's Son and T*
Others Held in Contempt in
Ship Deal.
NSW YORK. Kept. 10. -W. Averl
Htrrimtn, son of the lata E. H. Han
man, was held In contcmpt of cou
yesterday afternoon by Supreme Cou
Juatlc* Richard H. Mitchell. Tt
contempt finding was based on the a
j tempt to aelse the ateamahlp Kerle
I by legal action In the Federal corn
y 'The act waa held violative of an li
* , junction.
j j Harrlman as president of tt
I American Ship and Commerce Co
j poration and the Kerr Navijratic
Company, waa held with R H. 1
I Roblnaon, vice president, and Ira .
1 Campbell, admiralty lawyer for tt
Harrlman companies. Justice Mltche
aaid he probably would Impoae a lit
this moraine on all three.
Juatice Mitchell gav? Harrlman an
'his aaaoclates until today to pur|
: themselves of the contempt. He o
| dered them to drop at once proceei
Inge libeling the ateamahlp Kerlew I
1 the United States district court, ar
to remove at once a representative <
United States Marshal McCarthy fro
the veaael. Unless this was done t
: this morping he threatened to In
prlaon the three men. The purglr
waa done late yeaterday. and the Fei
eral proceedings dropped.
The Kerlew Is claimed by the Ha
riman interest*. The Kerr Steamsh
Company claims that the nlnety-d?
notice of cancellation of their co
tract has not elapsed. The ship
! merely an incident in the legal batt
between the two interests.
That J. F. Karr and Alfred E. Cleg
contemplate a desperate legal batt
with Mr. Harrlman and his associate
9 whom they blame for the Interni
Revenue authorities Impounding $4
[ 900,000 of their cash, became apparei
yesterday. They supplemented the
legal staff yesterday with the Arm <
Stanchfleld & Levy.
Lawyer Campbell told Justl<
Mitchell that he understood the jui
' tice's temporary injunction, to be f<
the purpose of keeping both the Kei
Steamship Company and the Harr
man-Kerr Steamship Company fro
controlling the vessel. Following tl
Injunction, he said, the Harrima
people had prepaid to unload her. H
said he then started proceedings I
prevent this.
Justice Mitchell held with M
Stanchfleld that if the Harrlman ii
terests thought the order was tc
broad, or Ita terms were being ej
oeeded, they should have applied I
h?m for a modification or Interpret!
tion instead of going to the Federi
courts.
The HbellnR" proceedings, the jus
tlce said, looked like an attempt I
"slide out from under" his jurlsdic
tlon.
Mr. Campbell told Justice Mltche
he had no intention of evading hi
)r jurisdiction, and this morning woul
argue the question of making th
temporary Injunction permanent.

Justice Department's Aid
In Prosecution.
Congress will b? asked to amend
lie Ball rent act transferring the

Municipal Court to the Departlent
of J^iatlc*.
Huch Action has become evident. Ui
lie opinions of attorneys who have
een thrown Into close contact with
lie act, because of the tangled and
owerless position Into which the
llstrlct Hent Commission has been
tirown.
The Ball act vests tbe power of
nforcement In the Municipal Court,
ut this tribunal, recognizing the deIslon
of the Court of Appeals which
eld the act unconstitutional, has
>een opposing rather than aiding the
arrylng out of the rent commission's
eterminatlons by reversing Its opines.
It U declared that therefore the
ommlssion Is In reality without an
nforcement agency, and by Klving
his power to the l>epartmont of JusIce
the Issue would be thrown into
he Federal court* where, it is pre
Ictsd. the interpretation of the Ball

Attorneys believe that no action can
e expected in the present rental con

goes out of existence under the

It is declared imperative that

Should, the Department of Justice b?
flven the power of enforcement of th<

that the department would

little about the White House
T. R.
In ye olden tymc before the ?d-4veot
of autoaaobiles end a Secret
Service detail?"tfce President's orderly"
had charge of the Whits Houae
table*, rode with the Chief lOxecutlve,
acted aa bodyguard, and olb?rwlae

if?
Joaeph M*thle*on. Just out of the
army air servics, where he held the
rank of lieutenant: an auto expert,
an all-around equestrian. and "otherwlae
a handy man."
KCBNI.raT? A? PBIVATB.*
Lieutenant Mathteaon qualified for <
the role of "orderly" easily enough
this week, when he promptly re-enlisted
In the regular army as a plain
priMte shortly after he wai honorably
discharged aa a lieutenant.
With amasing unado. red tape waa
quickly dipped and the ex-lieutenant
landed lightly on hla new Job today,
tie arrived In "clvles," but is expected
soon to don regalia becoming to his
atatlon.
Mo met hint; about the rapidity of
the etrange tranafer of the soldier is
explained by ths fact that Orderly
Mathleson wa* a sergeant In the regular
army at the outbresk of tbe war.
He "won his wings" aa a lieutenant
in the eervlce through aheer ability,
and made an excellent record. His
length of service ("foggies"). subsistence
allowances, snd other pleasant
perquisites combine to make his new
post rather a promotion to private
than a demotion from lieutenant.
Perfectly paradoxical, but, Just U?e
same. pure "promotion."
SKRUKANT "MAC" RK< A
Alwaya will the title "the Presl.
dent's orderly" be Intimately a**ociated
with the career of Sergeant Mo1
Dermott, known more than a score of
> yckrs ai the White House aa "Mac,"
' who waa President Roosevelt's order1
ly and served in the same capacity
during the Taft and Wilson administrations.
He was an army sergeant
of the old type and a delight to Colonel
lloosevelt, who once said thst
Map is not afraid of man or the
devil."
. "Mac" wa* real boas of the White
'! Houie stables, which are in reality j
j the quartermaster's stable* and now '
called "The Oarage." He rode horse- !
j back many time* with Colonel Roosevelt
and a few times with President
Taft, but during the Wilson regime
! ' grudgingly watched the automobile
supplapt the horse, and within the
year retired from active service.
Now come* the modern "orderly"?
qualified to ride or drive the ancient
I horse, run an automobile, or sweep
. the skies in an airplane.
Such is progress in morfc ways than
one.
0LUM BRIBE WAS
iRUMOR.SAYSNOYES
Dr. Arthur P. Noyes, acting superintendent
of St. Klixabeth's Hospital
for the Insiane, announced yesterday
that, he had made a careful investigai
tion of the story that an Inmate had
effected his escape by bribing an attendant
with a $500 check, whloh
later proved worthless.
i "There Is nothing to the story
I whatever." declared Dr. Noyes. "We
have convincing evidence that the inmate
escaped by overpowering the
guard and stealing his key*. We
followed up the story of the check,
' and found that there never was such
a thing."
Claude W. Owen, chairman; Max
i Walten and Dr. C. B. Swope, of the
' special committee appointed ty ths
public safely group of the City Club,
> to Investigate conditions at the hospital,
will visit the Institution this
afernoon. and will confer ylth Dr.
Noyes and Monle B. Sanger, administrative
officer, to obtain material for
an independent report which they will
present to the safety group tomorrow.
"We hope to -make a tour of th<?
grounds," said Mr. Owen this morning.
and will pay particular attention
' to the gates to see whether Inmate*
1 have undue opportunity to escape.
We hope also to gain considerable
information about general conditions
at the institution."
The visit is by Invitation of Dr.
' Noyes.
"Our cards are on the table," said the
asylum superintendent. "The committee
or independent cltlxen* are at
liberty to visit the hospital at any
time and learn the problems we have
to meet and how we are meeting
them."
The hospital had 3,560 patients this
week, i

Fall orders. Consequently, many factories
had no business and were compelled to shut
down.
But "HAHN'S" were wide awake dijring
this period. Whenever we saw a chance to
place ap order with a manufacturer who
needed business and was willing to accept
it at a great price concession in order to
keep its factory running, we grabbed that
opportunity.
