RIPPER SUSPECT
In QUEENS JAIL
Police Believe EX-Sing Sing
Prisoner May Be Leonore
COINS Murderer.

Detectives of the branch bureau in
Queens are digging into the record OF
Leon Graham, a prisoner there, TO as
certain his movements on the dates Of
the ripper" murders on the East side.
His police record and the nature Of
the crime with which he is now
charged are such as to arouse the
suspicion. II is said that he was
staying at the Municipal Lodging
House on the East Side when Anna
Leonore Cohn was killed.
After Acting Captain Herbert
Graham of the Hunters Point de-
tective bureau had quizzed the pris-
oner in the Queens County jail Satur-
day keepers found their prisoner had
almost succeeded in taking his own
life. He had hanged himself from the
bars of his cell by his shoelaces.
Unless Graham succeeds in allay-
ing the suspicious of the detectives,
the playmates of the Cohn girl and
the Murray boy will be asked to 20
to Queens to see if his features are
familiar to them.

ton reapportion the Senate and AS
scmbly districts. Then, by an almost
unanimous vote, it decided to permit
another apportionment by the Legis-
lature in 1925. when this action
was announced, Lemuel +. Quigg, who
previously had voted for convention
reapportionment, asked for a reconsid-
Grafton of the vote.
The proposal to increase the number
of Assemblymen was offered as a pos
sible compromise to New York City
Democrats, who have been striving for
greater representation for the city. It
was not accepted by A. +. Smith, who
has been leading the fight. In voting
against the compromise proposals, Mr..
Smith said, an Assembly composed Of

Will Retain Tax Exemptions.
The final draft of the proposed ar
ticle dealing with the subject of taxa
tion was prepared and approved to-
night by the Committee on Taxation
1t probably will be reported to the
convention tomorrow.
Under it provision would be made
for retaining the present exemption of
real property owned by churches and
charitable organizations. Such eXemp-
lions could be annulled by a majority
vote of the Legislature, but any new
exemptions would require a twO-thirds
vote. This provision is a compromise
on the proposal to remove all such ex-
emptions.
Proposals introduced by William
Barnes, intended 10 prevent the passage
of class legislation and of a minimum
wage law, were favorably reported 70
the convention by the legislative pow
ers committee tonight. If the pro-
posals are adopted, such laws could be
secured only by constitutional amend
ment.
Another of the Barnes proposals
favorably reported was that intended
to prohibit the Legislature amending
the charter of any city except on the
petition o. the Mayor or Common Coun-
Gil and on the affirmative vote Of d
majority of the legislators represent
ing the city.

RESIDENCE LAW
TO GO TO COURTS
City Civil Service Board
Will Break Rule to
Test Legality.

To test in court the constitutionality
of the ordinance of the Board of Alder
men requiring all persons employed by
the city to be citizens and residents OF
New York State, the Municipal Civil
Service Commission has advertised for
applicants for certain position, with
the statement that such requirements
ere waived.
"The ordinance has caused a great
deal of trouble, not only to the Civil
Service Commission, but to other heads
of departments" members of the com,
mission said last night. "lf the court
should decide that the commission is
bound by the ordinance there will be, Of
course. no alternative except to obey.
If. however, the coust should decide
otherwise, the commissor will be able
to meet contingencies such as that of
the superintendent of the Neponslt
Beach Hospital"
The time for receiving applications
for this position closed yesterday. Prlor
to the time when the ordinance went
INTO effect October /, 1879 the com
mission had at times waived its own
requirements as to citizenship, partic-
ularly for such positions as nurse,
where there was a dearth of ouallhed
candidates among citizens.
The commissioners said last night 1t
would be hard to fill the Neponsit
Beach Hospital position from among
citizens. 1t was deemed, accordingly, a
good case to test the constitutionallty
of the hamperng ordinance.
The hospital was formerly operated
by the Society for Improving the Con-
dition of the Poor at Coney Island for
children suffering from bone tubercu-
losis. The society has built the new
building at Neponsit Beach and turned
II over to the city for operation.
"Dr. Brannan, of the board OF trus-
tees of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals,
and others have insisted that there We're
few if any persons qualified to hold the
position who were citizens" said the
commission. "The hospital has been a
notable success in curing children at
fected with tuberculosis through hello
tberapy. There is no school giving the
necessary training in the United States.
The position might appeal to properly
qualified women. 1t is well known that
women born abroad and coming into
the United States commonly neglect 10
become citizens"

REVERSE MOVES
THE DAYS ORDER
AT CONVENTION
Committees Reject Service
Board Reform and Re-
apportiOnment Plan.
TAX EXEMPTIONS
TO BE RETAINED
New Article Has Been Drafted
Home Rule Proposal To
Be Drawn.

From A star Correspondent of The Tribunel
Albany, July 20.-Two of the most
important committees of the Constitu-
tional Convention turned somersaults
to-day. A third resolved itself INTO
sideshow. and a fourth, after an at-
tempt to determine just what 1t want
ed, appointed a subcommittee TO ma
out. Delegates with senses OF humor
are beginning to regard the commit
tees as so many rings in the circus
convention.
Two weeks ago the Committee on
Public Utilities, of which Ledyard T.
Hale. of St. Lawrence, is chairman
decided to make the public service
service corporations what Governor
Hughes, their creator, intended them
to be. At least, that was its expressed
purpose. To-day the committee did an
elaborate back-slip and abandoned
such intentions. It will report out
proposed amendment to give the courts
the right to review the findings OF the
commissions on questions of fact as
we'll as of law. Two weeks ago it had
planned course Numerically oppo-
site.
This latest decision was reached al
ter argument by three delegates, who
have nothing to do with the commit
tee, had been heard. They are Will
lam F. Sheehan, Morgan J. 0'Brien and
William n. Dykman. All are Demo
Gratis. and the committee is over
whelmingly Republican. They con-
tended that in New York City one
commissioner invariably heard case,
and that his findings were accepted by
the full commission. Therefore, they
argued, it was fitting and proper that
the courts have the right OF a com
Ulete review.
