WINDING UP GAS HEARING.
Court Refuse. TO Grant . Thirty Day ES-
tension 20 the State.

Judge Lacombe in the United States
District Court denied yesterday a motion
for an extension of thirty days in the time
allowed the State to present its evidence
at the gas hearing before Referee Arthur Fl.
Mastep. He did, however, allow some extra
time.
The time allowed the State and city to
present its case, including extensions, ex-
pred last Monday. In his argument for
the granting Of the motion former Assistant
District Attorney Howard S. Cans. of counsel
for the State Gas Commission. declared
that the delay in closing the States case had
been caused by the inability Of himself and
associates 10 get hold OF experts on gas
manufacturing plants. Many had declined
through fear Of s~ntagonizing the CONSOLE
dated Gas Company.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Burr, in
supporting Mr.. Gans's plea, declared that
the work of examining the company's
books and property had been of such magni-
tude that more time was absolutely essen
tial.
John A.. Carver, chief counsel for the
Consolidated, said that Mr.. Masten, the
referee, had on numerous occasions adj
monished the counsel for the State for their
dilatory tactics. They nave had six
months in which TO get these valuations

case" said Mr.. Carver, -an they have
lone practically nothing. We are not
asking for any more time, although the
Consolidated Gas Company is being flooded
with suits in the State courts and has had
10 establish a separate bureau TO attend
to this litigation. There are more than 500
such cases now pending in the State courts
and altogether we are named as defendants
in about $50 proceedings"
Judge Lacombe showed clearly his i'm
Datience at the failure Of the States ounsel
10 show more progress in its work in getting
the valuations Of the gas company's prop
critics and in completing the case. He
thought it a surprising request that the
Court should be asked at this late day 10
grant more time to enable experts TO ex-
anime the plants, particularly as the pc
titioners had already had extensions which
practically doubled the time originally
granted.
He said he didn't think the States case
or the interests OF the gas consumers would
be placed in peril II the full time asked for
in the motion were not granted. If at the
end OF the two weeks" he said, which u
allowed the Consolidated Gas Company
10 put in its evidence in rebuttal the de-
PENDANTS have then witnesses they want to
examine ready 10 go ON the stand this
Court will grant five days in which TO put
in direct testimony. That will be ample
time. Twill give the complainant five days
also for rebuttal."

INSULTING. SAYS WALSH.
Magistrate MOuldn't Stand for Being Told
That He Had Been known 10 he Drunk

James Nugent, a well known police ccur
lawyer. was ordered under arrest IN the
Yorkville court yesterday by Magistrate
Walsh and was released when he apollo
gized.
The trouble arose at the conclusion ~
the examination Of an old gambling ca -
-Four men had been arrested on November
30 by the police of the East Tbirty-ffth
street station on a charge of playing crap~.
At the conclusion Of the examination thev
were held for trial. Nugent was their
counsel and he started to talk to them before
they went downstairs. Court Policeman
Irvine told the lawyer to step back out OF
the way.
Il won't take any orders from you. I
am their counsel, . retorted the lawyer. He
then stepped up on the bridge and asked
the Magistrate what right the policeman
had to interfere with a lawyer. The Court
replied that the policemanfwas only doins
his duty.
mo such thing!' declared the counsellor
Step down, Mr.. Nugent. You are not
in a condition TO argue. You seem to b
under the weather" said the Magistrate.
If l am, you ave been that way your
self often, the lawyer re Joined.
You are insulting, sir, and unless you
apologize / will order you under arrest,
announced the Court.
The lawyer declined to apologize and
the Magistrate ordered Policeman Irvine
to make a complaint against him. Tn
policeman filed out the usual short affidavit.
and h lawyer again stepped up on the
bridge. He asked the Magistrate II he
proposed 90 be the complainant. Tho
Magistrate said that he did.
All right. I'll take issue with you then. 70
said the lawyer as he stepped down. Some
of his friends talked to him and after a time
he went before the Magistrate and apolo-
gized. The Magistrate ordered the COM

BIGGEST MOTOR SCHOONER.
The Northland Arrives From Maine Ne.
fore She IL Expected.

IOrc sno IL Expecteus
The Northland, the largest kicker
schooner in the world, came up to her
berth at Forty-second street and the North
River yesterday, thanking the tugboat
captains kindly when they hailed and
offered to pull her up. She halls from
Rockland, Me-, and her burden is 1000 tons.
Her arrival made several people jump,
for she was a day or 90 ahead Of expecta-
tons. Lewis Nixon's Standard Motor Con-
struction Company had put the auxiliary In
the new boat, and Mr.. Nixon thought that
he knew about how fast she should make
the trip down from Maine, but he was az
surprised at her time as were the representa-
tives OF tho owners the Cobb Butler Com
pany Of Rockland.
A visit to the engine room Of the big craft
told the cause Of the quick passage. b
might be a swift sailer, the engineer adj
mitted, but the real reason OF her speed this
time was the bad weather. Head gales on
the coast had forced the new boat to keep
using the motor. As the boat under power
pounds out some six miles an hour. rather
better than her average would be under
sail with a fair wind, the quick passage, so
the engineer figures IL, was due to the bad
weather.
The marine motorman showed his gaso-
lene motor TO a good many curious visitors
from the docks. There are six cylinders,
each about five feet high, and each worked
by alternate explosions on both sides OF the
piston. The whole motor could be set up
in a hall bedroom, though that would not
allow much room for the two fuel tanks, the
electric dynamos and the engine for the
tackle winches. On a 1000 ton vessel the
space occupied is slight, however, and it is
space back in the stern out OF the way Of the
cargo.
The Northland carries six seamen. The
rest OF the work is done by the ooh and
the motorman. Each hatch has an electric
elevator for lifting out cargo. Every hal
lard is hoisted by power winches.
Her owners expect 20 run her on schedule
between New York and Maine points Just
az if she were q steamer They believe that
by using the motor in bad weather they
can obtain regularity and avoid the delays
of usual coast traffic. The vessel carries
in two tanks fuel enough to send her 800

TO FIGHT HOOK MOUNTAIN BILL,
Quarrymen Viii Attempt to Delay Palisades
Park Project.

The application Of the Interstate Palisades
Park Commission for right to begin con-
demnation proceedings for the purpose Of
evicting the quarryrnen who are destroying
Hook Mountain is to be opposed by the
quarrymen, il was learned yesterday, on
the ground that the bill passed last spring
in the Legislature permitting h Park
Commission to seize Hook Mountain is
unconstitutional.
The quarrymen, it was said, have signiied
their intention Of holding out for a price
declared to be exorbitsnt. They have
named 81 900, 900 as the value Of their prop
critics, although their holdings are said
to he assessed at a trine more than $500 900.
The constitutionalty OF the law came up
for discussion when the quarrymen made
their fight in the Legislature last spring,
and according to legal authorities that have
been retained by the Palisades Park Com
mission the point has already been dis
posed Of against the quarrymen.
What is worrying the friends Of the inter-
state park enterprise is the provision in
the Hook M ountain law which makes il
obligatory on the commission to conclude
the condemnation and requirement Of all
lands necessary for the extension OF the
park within eighteen months after the
passage Of the act. This limit will expire
on OCUODcT ., lb(. IL TIC OppOslLlOn Dy
the holders Of the present land delays the
requirement Of these properties by the
Park Commission until that date additional
legislation will have to be secured. The
present law was passed only after a very
hard fight in the Legislature.
Charles W. Leavitt, DR., the engineer OF
the Palisades Park Commission, said yes
terday that the owners Of four or five quar-
ries were holding up the park plan, one Of
the objections being that the Hook u
tain quarries are necessary TO supply the
rock used for State roads.
This assumption, . said Engineer Leavitt,'
is totally INV arrsnted. Not only has the
State Engineer assured me that he can get
the necessary rock near by, outside Of the
limits Of the proposed reservation, but l
have his assurance that he 10 greatly in

The large number of violent crimes by
Italians in this city has aroused the repre-
sentative citizens of that nationality, and
they feel that something must be done at
once, not only to protect their own country
men at large from these criminals but to
take such action as will show that the men
responsible for the outrages are an infini-
tesimal minority and that the Italians of the
city are overwhelmingly opposed to them.
Coroner Peter p. Acritelli did little yes
terday at his Office but confer with leading
Italian physicians, lawyers, bankers and
business men, all OF whom were outspoken
as to the need of doing something. 1t Ia not
unlikely that u meeting will be called soon
by these men to take action.
