SAFETY MEETING
ALMOST BREAKS UP
Delegates Row Over the
Scope of Work Ends in
Limiting Efforts.

end the convention took place at the
opening session yesterday OF the con-
ference of safety experts from all parts
of the country. They met at the
Craftsman Building, in East Thirty
ninth Street, 10 organize natIohal
body.
The question Of whether the new or
ganization should confine itself TO
civic Safety First" campaigns or at
tempt TO push safety methods in in
dustrial plants caused the disagree
ment. Francis D. Patterson, Of Phila-
delphia, an official of the J. G. Brill
Company, car builders, and chairman
of the Street Safety Committee OF his
city, led those who favored restricting
the work. The National Safety Coun-
Gil, Of Chicago, he contended, was al,
ready organized as a national body and
performing the work Of promoting IN
dustrial safety. Another organization
would be a needless duplication, he
declared. 49,,
The opposition was led by John Gil
lespie, chief OF the Detroit Police De-
partment. Patterson's adherents were
on the point of quitting the convention
when the chairman, Harold W. New
man. Commissioner Of the Department
of Public Safety of New Orleans, asked
that they wait until the organization
committee reported. The report to
confine the new federation strictly TO
public work was accepted, and peace
and order were restored.
Mr.. Newman, the chairman, said that
the first important endeayor OF the
body everywhere would be to push laws
recurring mental and physical exam
nations Of automobile chauheurs. Mrs.
Eugene Grant, of Brooklyn, president
OF the City Federation Of Womens
Clubs. said that the 100000 women she
represented were ready to aid in what
ever form of safety work the fedora
ton might undertake.
After an informal luncheon the con-
vention was adjourned until 2:3O this
afternoon. Among the delegates pres
ent were Lawrence G.. Brooks, secre-
tary of the Highway Safety League of
Buffalo; David Beecroft, of the Chicago
Automobile Club; W. 7. Foley, of the
Cincinnati Automobile Club; J. |. Hol-

in tho Governors tax reform bill with
ont his consent or knowledge. ne

roads and traction companies, and eR-
empts from taxation property betwe IN

Court Of Appeals that this properly

Senator James A. Emerson tomorrow
il is stated. and will demand to know
how this Joker came 70 be inserted IN
the bill-a Joker that means the loss
TO the state Of taxes on property val
ued at about S10O,000,000.
Senator Emerson was Entrusted with
the bill by the. Governor, because he Is
chairman of the Committee on Taxa
ton and Retrenchment, and the meas
ure would be handled by that commit
tee. II was while the bill was in that
committee that the little "joker" crept
in.
The bill. which abolishes the pres
ent State Tax Commission and creates
a state tax department, has had nara
shedding ever since the Governor had
il introduced. The corporations have
been fighting its passage. and consld-
cradle opposition has been caused by
the provision for transferring the pow
ers and duties Of assessing corpora
tons from the Controllers office to the
new department.
Under former regimes the Control
ler's office, which assesses and collects
corporation taxes, collected only ST.
100000 in taxes. At least one former
Controller figures that the state has
lost half a million dollars annually
under the system. Some tax experts
have estimated that the annual loss
has been from 100000 to 100000.

court. He was found guilty OF having

1874 West Eighty-sixth Street, filed a
petition in bankruptcy yesterday. She
gives her liabilities as 100000 and
her assets nothing, and her lawyer ex-
plains the creditors will not lose a
cent.
The explanation is this: Mrs. Abel
son knew several persons interested In
real estate and for a small stipulation
she allowed them to use her name IN
making purchases. In other words
she was what the realty world calls
a dummy" 80.
Her counsel, Mervyn Wolf, of 299
Broadway, explained last might that
all the liabilities listed in the petition
were incurred by Mrs. Abelson acting
in the capacity Of dummy" and not in
a personal capacity.
"This proceeding means that Mrs,
Abelson desires to clear herself of all
responsibility in. these matters" he
said. "The creditors are protected in
every way by mortgages on the real
estate purchased in the name of my
client"

PROPOSES SECURED
DEBT LAW CHANGE
Boylan Bill Would Exempt
Bonds for Year-PerSOnal
Property AfterWard.

Albany, Feb. Exchanges in the Sc
cured debt tax law which would mean
millions Of dollars additional revenue
TO the state on bonds are proposed in
a bill introduced to-day by Senator
Boylan. The measure would exempt
such holdings from taxation for one
year on the payment of a tax of / Il
of l per cent, and after that time tax
them as personal property. In some
localities this tax would approximate
. per cent.
BY law passed in 1909, secured
debts were relieved from taxation on
the payment Of z Of per cent. This
law brought to light bonds worth mill
ions. Records of all Of these now are
kept, and, should the Boylan bill pass,
payment of a personal tax on these
holdings would be inevitable.

Bryan Wants Senate Meeting

treaties was undertaken on the Demo-
cratic side to-day by Senator Stone,
chairman OF the Foreign Relations
Committee, who circulated a petition
10 that end among the Democratic
Senators. but the movement gained
little impetus during the day. Whether
the Senate meets or not after the pres

that either Of the Central American

ALI Under Suspicion.

Here is a good stsry from the front.
There have been so many cases or Ger
man spies masquerading in English
uniforms that sentries at night are
required to halt every body of men
and give the order, Advance one, to
be recognized" which means that one
goes forward alone so that the sentry
can satisfy himself without the risk
Of being overpowered If several went
forward at once. A certain we'll
known officer of the - was found
by a London Scottish officer held up
by sentry, who refused to allow him
to move and announced that he
"warn't satisfied with the man." The
sentry refused to be convinced, and
eventually a scout coming along had
to conduct the doubtful one to the OFF,
Ger in charge of the post, when all
was well. "The sentry thought,
writes the London Scot, that he had
got hold Of a good thing and saw
visions of many stripes. He was per-
fectly justified, and no one blamed
him."

FARMERS INSTITUTES

Do You wish Farmers Institute dur
ing the coming fail or winter? If so,
application should be made at once to
the Department of Farmers Institutes,
G. j. Norgord, Supt., Madison, Wis.
The Farmers Institutes are conduct
ed 10y successful farmers who have had
long experience in studying and pre-
senting the best methods~of farming
and in practicing the same on their own
farms. These men have witnessed the
growth of scientific agriculture during
the past Is or 20 years and have pre-.
sented and practiced each new phase as
it has appeared. They are thus thor
oughly familiar with the best agricul-
tural methods and present the same in
a forceful and interesting manner.
Specialists in various lines of work
from the State Experiment Station and
elsewher also appear on the program.
These two types of men insure pro-
grams of practical and scientific merit
presented in popular form.
A very large number of Farmers In
stitutes were held last year, yet all of
the demands could no. be supplied 1t
is therefore important to make appli-
cations early.
