The greatest problem which confronts
the economists and the social workers of
America today is, the problem of the city.
Every year the population of the cities
is increasing and that of the counties
diminishing. Men are deserving the
country in droves to come into the city
They are leaving the green fields for the
dirty highways, the clear atmosphere for
the pollution of the city, and with every
new recruit the problem of handling
them and the vice which grows among
them becomes more difficult and more in
tricate.

Moses NJ Mckee, Of the Board Of Elec-

properly nominated by petition for execu-

name on the ballot was simply an error.

FAVORS BRANDT INQUIRY
Carmody Wants Probe Of Alleged
Abuse of Judicial Power.

Albany. March 29-Attorney General car
n1odv to-day recommended an investigation
by the Senate Of charges of alleged abuse
or misuse Of judicial power In connection
with the conviction and sentence Of Folke
F. Brandt the former valet OF Mortimer l.
Schih
When asked If his reference was directed
against Judge Otto Rosalsky, OF New York,
the Attorney General replied:
He Is the only Judge who has figured N
these proceedings"
The statement OF the Attorney General
follows:
The fact that charge was presented TO
a grand jury against Judge OF the Court
OF General Sessions for alleged abuse Or
misuse Of judicial power, when caused an
extensive Investigation and a presentment
by the grand jury TO the court, l. IN and OF
itself sufficient 70 Justify, even 10 demand,
whether or not these charges are sufficient
10 warrant Impeachment. They may %
sufficient 10 warrant impeachment although
insufficient 10 warrant indictment.

cred. 10 be under just suspicion. i l. in

of the law be and remain a disputed ques-
ton Of fact, about which grand jurors may
differ. II is due 70 the court as well as
10 the people that this doubt b. cleared up
80 Judge should want TO rest under sucn
an imputat!on, nor should ne 5e permitted
10 do so.
am informed bv the press report that
the prescntment Of the grand jury Wnicn
the court declined 70 receive. was 10 the
effect that Brandt committed grand lar
ceDv. but not burglary. There can ne 10
serious doubt about this The record o. me
court that convicted him proves Oeyond any
question that ne did not commit burg airy.
He was therefore, sentenced To thirty YEAR
imprisonment. five Of which he served. Tor

ther comment is unnecessary.
The question now IS whether tho enforce
uent OF our laws is a matter Of favor or a
matter Of right-whether our boast that all
men stand equal before the law is a Notion
or a fact IL is Just as serious an Invasion
a crime that he al not commit a. II IS o

CARNEGIE SUES KRESS
Wants S2,225,000 for Loan to
Carnegie Trust Company.

Andrew Carnegie began a suit yesterdsy
in the Supreme Court against Samuel II.
Kress. former director of the Carnegie
Trust Company. 10 recover about s2,225,0O3
principal and interest Of loan Of $4,000
600 which Mr.. Carnegie advanced TO the
company bearing his name when that instl-
tuition sorely needed the money. Mr.. Car
negie said in his complaint that all he had
recovered so far was $4,000, which was
paid to him on MAY I, 1910, five months
after he made the loan.
The plaintiff mentions as borrowers"
the directors of the trust company who
guaranteed individually it's payment in
Guiding William J. Cummins. Joseph f.
Relchmann Charles Arthur Moore, tr
Samuel Fl. Kress, the defendant; Martin J.
Condor. William A. Keener. Llston l. Lewis
and George D. Crsbbs.
Mr. Carnegie says he delivered TO these
men on December %. 1909 in Hoboken, p
GOO United States Steel Corporation gold
bonds each OF the par value OF $1,000. The
borrowers agreed that they would return
the bonds or their equivalent on December
81. 1910. A day before the loan came due
the borrowers sent word 10 Mr.. Carnegie
that there would be no delivery on the day
agreed upon.
The law firm OF Holm Whtlock & Scarf,
counsel for Mr.. Kress, issued a statement
last night 10 the effect that Mr. kress
never. directly or indirectly. borrowed any
money from the Carnegie Trust Company,
nor did he have a hand in any OF the acts
OF the company which were criticised. The
lawyers said that Mr. Kress took up with
s63. 600 out OF his own pocket certain notes
AT the urgent insistence Of Mr.. Carnegie
personal attorney. Mr.. Kress said that he
was given to understand that II he took
up these notes Mr.. Carnegie would come
20 the aid of the trust company.
The statement OF counsel for Mr. Kress
says that he further showed his good faith
by buying $4,000 worth OF stock Of the
Carnegie Trust Company and by maintain
ing a deposit there when its doors closed
Of $500 thus suffering a personal loss Of
500, 90
