DEMAND SUBWAY ACTION
Brooklyn Civic Organizations
Put Committee to Work.

The letter of Timothy s. Williams.
president OF the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company, cOndemnine those responsible
for the delay In the signing up OF operat-
ing contracts covering subways in Brook
Ign. which was made public yesterday,
caused a conference Of civic organizations
yesterday afternoon. \ committee made
up Of Audley Clarke. former Senator
George +. Brush, Enrol E. Hart, with
Thomas T.. Clark, president OF the Allied
Civic Bodies of South Brooklyn. eX oificio.
was appointed to set plans on foot TO oh
tain prompt action in the subway crisis now
confronting Brooklyn. The conference was
held in the Office OF William j. Morrisey.
president Of the Brooklyn Board Of Real
Estate Brokers.
Audley Clarke, head Of the Audley
Clarke Company. with large interests In
South Brooklyn, said after the meeting
yesterday:
"CiviC organizations in Brooklyn and
Queens will demand Of the Board OF Esti-
mate and the Public Service Commission
| a reason for the delay in the work OF sign
ing up the contracts covering the construc-
ton and operation Of subways under what
is known as the dual agreement. Week
after week has passed. and conferences
have been held frequently. and yet ap-
parently we are as far apart now as we
were when they started IN fact. they
seem to be further apart The situation
in Brooklyn is alarming many citizens Of
that borough and the deadlock causes the
fear that after January l. when a new
| member Of the Public Service Commits
sion Is appointed. change in the per
sonnet Of that body may affect the
dual plan Of construction and operation.
and the whole thing may absolutely fall
| through.
Then the question that we had supposed
| had been settled will have TO be thrashed
out again, involving great delay. We feel
that IL action is not taken at once our
fear OF delay will be justified For como
reason, which We cannot understand, there
| is disposition on the part OF some in
| terests to defeat the wishes Of the people
who have approved OF the subway ar
rangements which the City Of New York
| Is pledged to carry out"

SUBWAY CONTRACTS READY
Wilcox and McAneny Deny
Unnecessary Delay"

Both Chairman Wilcox OF the Public
Service Commission and Borough Pres
ident McAneny, chairman OF the subway
committee OF the Board OF Estimate, de-
clared yesterday their belief that an am
cable agreement could be reached with
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company In
regard to the financial points at issue IN
the subway contracts Both deprecate
attempts to make 1t appear that the SUD-
way negotiations were in danger or COL
lapsing
80 far as I can sec" said President
McAneny, referring TO the letter OF Presl-
dent Williams, "he referred largely 10
matters under discussion from day TO day
between the company and the Public
Service Commission, discussion into
which the Controller and have entered
representing the Finance Department and
the Board of Estimate committee. The
understanding Is that q conclusion must
be reached within the next few days, I'M
less II should become apparent-and 1t
certainly has not as yet--that there are
few points Of difference that cannot be
reconciled.
From my own knowledge OF the vast
amount of detail work that the prep
aration Of the contracts has entailed and
of the time taken in debating the conflict
ing views OF the meaning Of important
terms OF the tentative agreement between
the company and the Public Service Com
mission ! do not believe that there has
been a day OF what has been termed IN
necessary delay The whole matter ought
10 be brougnht to a conclusion within
week or two. have no doubt that II
| Will
Chairman Wilcox said:
Il do not care at this time, when the
negotiations on certain points that have
been raised in the final draft Of the con-
tracts are unfinished. TO go into discus
sion OF the same / am sure the diher-
| ences existing can be adjusted, and tor
that reason I deprecate any public Dis
cussion until the negotiations are COM
pleted. There Is nothing in the negotia-
lions that is not susceptible to the fullest
nubllc discussion At the proper time.
with the exception of the two or three
financial points still up in the air the
contracts have all been agreed upon and
in their printed form should be in the
hands OF the counsel for the compa
,and the commission to-day.
4 report that the lnterborough had de-
manded that an agreement on the con
tracts be made at once IS not true. II
is satisfied with the Interpretation OF in
terest account urged by the commission
marlborough officials have said, however
that II the city should make any conces-
sion to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit they
would demand the same concessions.

CHANGE TESTS FOR LAWYERS
State Examiners Adopt New Rules
for Fledgling Attorneys.

"A result of protests by the law
schools OF New York State the state
Board of Law Examiners has made i'm
portant charges in the rules for exam
nations this year. Under the new ar
rangement the examination will be held
on two successive days The first days
session will be of five hours, devoted 70
twenty-four questions in pleading, prac'
tice and evidence. on the second day
there will be one three-hour and one
four-hour session. in which the prospee-
Tive LAWYERS will be required to answer
thirty-six questions I'm substantive law.
Columbia Law School professors say
the changes meet the criticism that TOO
much has depended on memorzing OF
specific cases and too little on knoWl-
edge of fundamental principles.

An Old Pioneer Passes
Away

Centerville Journal: 1.-The news OF
the death Of Christian Rist at his
farm home northwest of Centerville
on Saturday evening, while it had
been hourly expected for weeks,
came as shock to the community.
Mr.. Rist was one OF the pioneers of
this locality, coming here as COM
paratiyely young man, s.sfering the
hardship and privaUion of the pioneer
and by hard work and perseverance
weathering the grasshopper period,
the dcy years, hard winters and other
drawbacks incident to the develop
ment OF new country until he be-
came one Of the best known and
most respected citizens. He had al
ways enjoyed good health until three
years ago, when q concer of the face
and neck developed. He did every
thing possible to cheek the ravages
