URGE FEDERAL INQUIRY
Socialists Complain of West Va.
Coal Field Affairs.

Charleston, W. Va. May 2.-The com
mittee of Socialists which was sent here
by the national committee Of the party
TO investigate conditions in the coal re-
gions sent telegram to Senator Kern
tonight urging the passage Of the Sen
ator's resolution for a federal inquiry
into the West Virginia situation.
1T is imperative that the Kern reso-
luton do pass" SAYS the message.
conditions have improved considerably
under Governor Hatfield's administra-
tion. but there is no doubt that the fed
eral Constitution was set aside In the
coal regions. The fundamental rights Of
were denied, papers were sup
pressed and postal laws ignored. Under
the guise Of law and order the military
and civil authorities substituted mob law
for constitutional government Armored
trains. with machine guns. poured dead
ly fire into hopes Of defenceless men,
women and children. The Senate owes
the nation searching investigation Of
the long reign of lawlessness in the min
ing region Of West Virginia"
The message was signed by Eugene V.
Debs. Adolph Germer and Victor l..
Berger.

merchants Of the North Side, will hold a
mass meeting tonight at Mullers Bronx
Casino. 154th street and Third avenue. to
protest against the order Of Borough
President Miller for the removal of street

The league has declared that it is up TO
President Miller 10 set an example 10 his
fellow BronXites by removing an en-
Croachment which they say they have dis
covered on his property at No. 2279 An
drews avenue, in the form of'a wall in
front OF his house Several thousand
circulars have been sent out with phot'-
graph Of the Miller property. But the
Borough President did not build the wall :;
il was there when he bought the property.
II has been estimated that the cost TO
property owners will be $1,000. GOO if the
order OF the Borough President is carried
out. The only streets affected are Third
avenue. Washington avenue and fremont
avenue Besides the cost of the changes
to be made. il is declared the plan will

that with the large and complex popu-
lation and varying conditions OF life I'm

Lines Up with Anti Murphy
Democrats in Bronx.

Surrogate John ?. Cohalan has lined up
with the autonomists Of The Bronx hav-
ing Joined the ranks Of those in the Demo-
cratic organization in the new county
who have declared against outside domi-
nation.
Although always a loyal member Of he
Tammany organization, In which MS
brother, Justice Daniel r Cohalan. has
been a dominant figure, Surrogate Coha-
Ian has never consented 10 subordinate
his own views on public or political ques-
tions TO subserve only the ends OF the
organization.
While the effect Of the movement In
which Surrogate Cohalan has enlisted, II
successful will be 10 curtail the sphere
OF influence Of Charles +. Murphy, Mr..
Cohalan seems less concerned about that
phase OF the situation than he Is In the
result TO be obtained, the complete au-
tonomy Of Bronx County
Surrogate Cohalan expressed himself
vigorously yesterday on the question OF
county autonomy. Il have openly ex-
pressed my views" he said. TO the lead
ers Of the Democratic party IN regard to
the Bronx County situation. II is less a
question Of political faith than IT Is one
Of civic expedency. We must secure an
efficient administration In the county and
borough. TO this end we should see 10 II
that only qualified men are nominated
and elected 10 office. They must be re-
sponsible TO the people OF The Bronx, ami

SHOT TO DEATH

The sound Of nine shots fired in rapid
succession sent Patrolman Downs, OF the
East 5lst street station. hurrying from

NEW PLAN SUGGESTED FOR
Regarding PARK AVENUE
w. B. Parsons Devises Scheme
Which, 1t Is Said, Will
Save S2.hOO-OOO.

Opponents OF Borough President Nc
Aneny's plan for improving Park avenue
at saith street will submit a new plan to
Mayor Gaynor at the public hearing in
the City Hall next Thursday morning.
William Barclay Parsons. chief engineer
OF the old Rapid Transit Commission, de-
vised the new plan. The property owners
and those who oppose the Coils plan will
ask Mayor Gaynor to withhold his ap-
proval OF the plan which Mr.. McAneny
has indorsed until engineers have exam
ined the Parsons plan.
The proponents OF the new scheme say
it's advantages are as follows:
1T would provide roadways and side
walks on a lesser grade than the Coils
plan and would keep the tunnel at saith
street, instead of moving it north TO 35th
street. thus avoiding the grade crossing
made necessary under the Coils plan. 1t
would make Park avenue continuous
thorouehfare wide enough for all kinds OF
traffic from seth street 20 SD street. and
create a spacious approach to lower
Fourth avenue at 33d street. giving road
way and sidewalk facilities 120 feet wide
for an avenue which is at present only 100
feet wide
Under the new plan 33d street would
be slightly lowered and Fourth avenue
slightly raised. so that the two would
cross at grade. making 33d street a con-
tinuous street from river 10 river. Fourth
avenue would be raised from 33d street
10 Gath street. exactly as Mr.. McAncny
would raise il from 3ith street 10 35th
street by ramps on either side Of the car
tracks.
The space given exclusively TO road
way and for vehicles would be greater
than that on Fifth avenue. AS worked
out by Mr.. Parsons adequate space FOR
car tracks and sidewalks would still be
left. while the suppression Of the present
subway kiosks would be provided for. CIV
ing more room for pedestrians.
1T is estimated that the changes pro-
vided for by the Parsons plan could be
made for about 100000. This would be
slightly more than the cost OF the Wet
more plan. for which the property owners
have been fighting. but itswould be about
$500. 600 less than the cost Of the Coils
NfAupnV ulqu."

Every youngster in New York can make
himself solid with Health Commissioner
Lederle by capturing stray cats and turn

that whenever requests were received to

places Captain Galway docked the
Bowery Bay at Astoria and let the

A strong tide was running when Cap
tain Calaway took his boat out of the

stream. the force OF the current turned
her nose around and swung her into the
Steinway, which was commanded by cap
tain Charles Allen. Both boats were
crowded with passengers. bat the crews
quickly assured them that no serious
damage had been done.
New-York tribune., 1913-05-26

According to figures compiled by the So
ciety. 225.O0 small animals were humane
~ destroyed last year and 50 per cent
of that number represented cats. The
number Of cats killed by gas has increased
month by month during the present year.
In January 1889 were destroyed; in
February 1862; in March. 1925, and
IN April. 1920.
one Of the principal causes for the
larger number Of stray cats in the city
during the summer is a result Of their
being thrown out by their owners, VINO
figure il is much cheaper TO get new
cat when they come back to town in the
fall than to pay board for one all summer
II is against the law. the society says
to catch cats in figure four or any other
kind Of traps. and no nooses. tongs or
other Instruments are used by its cat
collectors.
SO far the most efiicacious practice fol-
lowed in daylight hours by agents OF the
society is to say Here. puss puss, puss
in meodious tones. However. many are
called. but few respond.
