Westchester County.
Seen at White Plains yesterday. Mr..
Fallon said that Thomas j. Berkery
ard John Breen, the two runners,
who are said TO have done most Of this
lawyers chasing i'm accident cases. had
both confessed that in q suit for 49,
600. recently brought against the New
Haven Railroad, they were induced TO
commit subornation OF perjury. THIS,
they said. had been done in the course
of their testimony against the road.
Many efforts have been made in the
past TO secure an indictment against
the head of the trust" The man has
been Swallowed by Central Office men
for months at time. but TO no avail.
His success inspired others 10 follow
his example, and there grew up in
Westchester and Bronx counties a
group of lawyers. prosperous and sue
cesstul. who made their living from
sums sucked from rich corporations.
The Workmen's Compensation act
interfered to some extent with their
trade, and many OF them. after its
passage. proved on the newspapers as
they had formerly preyed on the rail-
roads. The head of the trust" how
ever. clung to his previous practice.
and Mr.. Fallon admitted yesterday that
though they mad often been near
him" there was no real chance of his
being landed till yesterday.
The campaign against the accident
trust" as it has come 20 be known to
many residents Of Westchester and
Bronx counties, developed further yes

RUSH TO CUT AIDS
TITLES AND WAGES
Surveyor Plans to Reduce
Twelve of Fifteen of
the Deputies.

Between twelve and fifteen attachcs
of the Custom House, who for some
time have been working under the dig
rifed titles OF deputy surveyors. will
lose that dirnit, and authority If Sur
veyor Thomas +. Rush carries out his
present plan
At present there are twenty deputy
surveyors, ar IN many cases their au-
thority overlaps Surveyor Rush be-
lieves that If the number were cut
down to five or six those men would
have more dignity and power tnan any
OF the twenty now have, and there
would be less friction and divided re-
sponsibiity.
As il is now at some of the big piers,
there Is a DEPUTY surveyor VINO - SUP
posed to be in charge and other deputy
surveyors presumably working under
him. but with the same rank and pre-
sumablv the same authority. Surveyor
Rush wants the title OF deputy TO carry
more authority and responsibility, ard
believes il will when there are only
few men holding it.
Salaries of the deputies range from
50 200 20 800 If it is possible to
arrange ii the deputies whose title will
be taken aWav from them and who viii
20 back to The rank Of inspector. at
So a day. will he the men getting
- 200 as IDENTITIES. That Will mean no
decrease in their yearly compensation.
II was reported Yesterday that NI,
Rush had reduced three deputy sur
veyors because they were Republicans.
and promoted three Democrats To their
places. He acknowledged that Walter
Fitzgerald. Martin DuTkin and Milton
Jackson. who had been deputy sur
veyors for about two years. had been
reduced to the rank Of inspector.
Politics had nothing TO 90 with l..
however" he added. "As a matter OF
fact two Of the three men Fitzgerald
and Durkin- are Democrats. and promi-
nent Democrats intcrccded for them in
vain. There were what ! considered
good end sufficient reasons for trans
fcrrine these men TO the grade OF IN
pector."
With two OF the three. the Surveyor
said. it would make no decrease in
their salary. All got $4,000 as deputy
surveyors. and jackson and one Of the
others will ge: So day as inspectors.
The third man viii get 50 Inspector
ship.
The three men promoted from in
spectorships to be deputy inspectors
are william 7. Bucheier, James Hen
messy and Joseph /. Whalen.
II happen TO know that Whalen J.
Democrat" said Mr.. Rush. "bu' that
had nothing whatever TO do with his
promotion. A. TO the politics OF the
two others l know nothing. Bucheler
lives in New jersey and Hennessy's
home is in Tioga County"
Surveyor Rush said that Special
Deputy Surveyor Smythe, who is the
head % the deputies, had advised tEo
changes.

OFFER ARGENTINE
LOAN TO PUBLIC
Financing of Needs VIII
Cement Business Rela-
iiOns with l.. :.

The syndicate OF ton New Norr and
ou,-of-towu banks which has Just com
pictcd negotiations through Tho Ma
uonal City Bank with tho Argentine
government for Sl5,oOO,OoO 6 pcr
cent loan viii make public Offering
cf the notes Tomorrow. This an
nouncemcnt will disclose the partici-
pants IN the syndicate and the prices
at which the sale will be made.
Bankers regarded il as Of the utmost
importance yesterday that the loan
had been given, TO the United States
after sharp competition on the part Of
London bankers. It was also consid-
cred as marking a new epoch in the
business relations of the United States
and the South American republic. as
the loan is the inst that has been made
directly with this eounty's bankers.
Hitherto Argentina has negotiated
loans principally through London.
The notes are dated December Is,
1914. ard arc in three series Of $1,000
coo each, maturing respectively in
1915. 1916 and 1917. They are the d.
rect general obligation Of the Areen-
tine government. whose falth ana
credit are pledged for the prompt pay
ment OF the principal and semi-annuai
interest. In the text Of EACH note the
following agreement viii be en-
bodied:
THE government Of the Argentine
nation covenants that during the he
of this loan no more favorable condl-
tions as TO security will be given any
other loan Of the government OF the
Argentine nation without equally Sc
curing this loan both as 10 prlncipa!
and interest
Only one issue Of Argentine govern
ment bonds has a specific lien on I'M
port duties. The total interest and
sinking fund charges on this issue
amounted to only $2,453.230 in 1913. or
less than per cent of the total I'M
port duties Of S64. 540,316.
The total external and internal
funded debt OF the South American
ration on December 81. 1913. was
s525,A93,I37. Amortization payments
Tor that year were $9,793,l1i and inter
est charge. amounted 10 $2I,64O,5l3, y
total of S84. 433 $50 for the service Of
the debt. As the national revenues IN
1918 aggregated f4s,266,329, the inter
est charges consumed only Is % per
cent and the total debt service 30 per
cent of the total revenues.
The accumulation Of the national
debt took place largely in the decade
from 1850 TO 1890. The outstanding
amount at the end OF the earlier year
was $50 .2G6. 249. while in 1890 it WAS
S343 ,2OS, 1871. which had mounted by
the end Of 1898 10 S4l2,705,3O4. In
1898 the estimated population of Ar
gentina was only 3.729105. while in
1918 il mounted to 1904, 1896. The per
capita debt has therefore decreased IN
twenty years from about SllO to less
thar 500. or more than IS per cent.
Total revenues OF Argentina were
S14S.266.3 1929 in 1913. Of which SS4,5lO,-
2l6 was contributed by import duties.
Port and storage charges amounted 70
81 .OO7 .7T2 additional. Spices. tea, cot
fee. sugar, cheese, tobacco. liquors,
silk. cotton and woollcn manufactures.
Kerosene. olive oil. medical and other
chemical preparg tions and manutsct-
urcs o. wood contributed the bulk OF
the import revenues.

OR RETURN LAND

Circuit Judge Mandeli. Monday
morning, filed a decision In which
he ordered the Maxwell Motor Co.
and the Flanders Motor Car Co. TO
return 30 acres of land in Greenfield
township to Robert Oakman, IL they
do not commence building plant
on the property within the next 10
days.
Oakman sold the land Ave years
ago. for the cost figure. $4,000. II
was worth more than that, he alleg-
ed. but he made the deal with the
understanding that the defendants
would build q factory on the 80
acres. thus increasing the value OF
surrounding subdivisions, owned by
Oakman. The land Is how worth
S4O0, 900.
Judge Mandel held that the fall
ure to build the factory revoked the
defendants right TO the title OF the
property The two automobile com.
panies were made defendants as sue
cessors to the Metzger Motor Car
Co.. 10 whom oakman originally sold
