ROBERT HUNTER REC0NsIDERS.
Won't Persist IN Leaving the University

Settlement on !. Reynolds's Account.
Robert Hunter. head-worker Of the Uni
versity Settlement, Is not going to insist
that the council Of the settlement accept
his resignation, rendered a week ago. be-
cause OF the critical attitude OF James b.
Reynolds. who was a settlement worker
himself once. but is now helping the Mayor
to run the city government.
A member OF the council said yesterday
that at the annual meeting last month Mr..
Hunter was reengaged by the settlement
for an undetermined period. instead Of
for the usual period Of year. the now con-
tract to be terminable at any time upon
three months notice by either party; and
that he would continue his work under
this arrangement for the present at least
The council unanimously asked Mr..
Hunter to withdraw his resignation. and
he consented.
Mr.. Hunters engagement to daughter

some time ago and his marriage may bring
his settlement work to an end.

his chief. but his resignation was not con-
sidered.
Neither Mr.. Hunter nor Mr.. Reynolds
would discuss their differences yesterday:
Prof. William M. Sloane. the chairman Of
the council, had thsto say about the dim
culties between the former head worker
and the man who succeeded him:
mir. Reynolds, after seven years OF set

sharp eyes the work Of his successor: Mr.
Hunter is purely a social worker. He has
no political enthusiasm and he has not

in which Mr.. Reynolds was so active. But
he has brought many new ideas to his
work and he Is continuing the organization
in its progress without fastening 1t to any
thing outside Of purely social. work.
.W course every man has his own per-
sonality, and It is natural that Mr.. Reyn-
olds's friends should see some difference
between that Of Mr.. Hunter and his prede-
cessor. But there Is no quarrel in the
organization at all. In fact, the University

DR.. Herbert has been attached to the
institution for four years. He Is about
thirty-fve Year, old and Ia eaid to have
made q fine record in the percentage OF
patients helped and cured. He was well
liked at the institution, although there
was some discord about three years ago
when. largely through his instrumentality.
1t is said, one OF the superintendents was
discharged on the ground that he was not
competent.
"A short time ago charges against DR..
Herbert were made in letters sent to the
board Of trustees OF the Montefore Home.
Jacob H. SchifY In president Of the home
and has done much to raise funds for ite
work.
These charges were Of such a character
that the board notified DR.. Herbert to come
to New York on Wednesday. April ~. to
answer them. He came and was heard.
The board then sent TO Bedford and
ordered that Betty Lambert. an inmate
OF the home, he produced before It. She
In a girl OF Is years, who had been at the

On that day DR.. Herbert left Bedford

nation as superintendent.
The girl was not returned to the home,
but was entered on the records as having
been discharged cured. The entry re-
corded that she had gained twenty-three
pounds under treatment at the institution.
She now weighs about $50 pounds. She

CUNNEEN on FRANCHISE TAX.
Has an Argument for supreme Court. but
Expects Successor to Present u.


Attorney-General Cunneen came down
from Albany yesterday. Speaking Of the
decision OF the Court Of Appeals In the
Franchise Tax law Mr.. Cunneen said he
did not know officially that the case would
he taken to the United States Supreme
Court. but that he thought such q course
probable He did not believe that any
action would be brought which would act
as a stay on the payment Of the taxes now
due.
'One Of tho points made by the cor
porat;ons which was lugged In to pro-
vide . cause for appeal to the Supreme
Court Of the United States said Mr.. Cum
neen, was the oontention that the Fran
chise Tax law imposed . new condition or
restriction In the contracts existing b.
tween the companies and the people, that
vitiated In violation Of . provision Of the
Constitution Of the United States. ! did
not expect the Court Of Appeals to give
much heed to that, but It of1ers . means OF
appeal on the question whether that pro-
vision OF the Federal Constitution IL vio-
lated.
.The answer TO that argument u plain.
The tax il not . new condition OF the con-
tract. The law simply affords . way Of
requiring the franchise holder to pay
proper proportion OF the expense OF pro-
tectins him IN the enjoyment Of his grant
Mr.. Cunneen said that II the Cases were
appealed to the United States Supreme
Court the probability was that they would
not be argued there during his term as
Attorney-General.
