ANY plan Of relief, TO be successful,
should and must be unselhsh. The
method proposed borders dangerously
near boycott. If II should be proved
that this proposed preference in pur-
chase was a boycott there is Federal
law which no doubt could and would be
invoked for redress.
There is no use in locking the stable
door after the horses have gone A
certain portion OF the district in ques-
tion has already been violated with fac
tory buildings. But the section between
Lexington and Seventh Avenues and
north OF Forty-second Street and south
OF Fifty-ninth Street still remains prac-
tically free of loft buildings. This is
the logical future retail section OF New

KEPT FROM HIS ESTATE,
OWNER SEEKS 100000
O'Connor a Suspect Though He
Restored Tenants.

Michael J. O'Connor. Harlem liquor
dealer. who bought the estate OF the
late Lord Leitrim. in Ireland. told
500 900 travel story in a complaint
made in the Federal District Court yes
,erday. where he is suing Philip A. ;.
Franklin. as receiver OF the lnterna-
tionsl Mercantile Company.
O'Connor reached New York on NO.
vember II after a months trip across
the Atlantic and back on the Ameri-
can liner 81. Louis, owned by the Inter
national Mercantile Company. He in
tended 20 visit his estate. Although
he was provided with an American pass
port ne was not, he said, allowed -
pass the fixed bayonets which stood
between him and Irish soil.
Instead. according 20 the complaint,
against his will, he was locked in a
room, restrained and deprived OF his
liberty from October p 70 November 8,
1915
O'Connor says that By this treat
ment he was damaged 100000 worth.
The Earl Of Leitrim was so hated by
his tenants that he was mysteriously
assassinsted. No one was arrested for
the shooting. When O'Connor purchased
the property he restored the evicted
peasants TO their cabins and yet, he
says, he was regarded as an Irish po-
btical suspect ....

GOMPERS TALKS
TO 80 TEACHERS
HOd Carriers Better Paid,
He Says, in Describing
Benefits of Union.

you may have the distinction OF
being professional but you get neither
the pay nor the consideration that bod
carriers command" said Samuel Com
pers, president Of the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor. yesterday in an address
at a mass meeting of teachers az the
De Witt Clinton High School.
That's why you need a union" he
added, as the instructors present ap-
plsuded his summing up OF their fnan-
cial and social status.
Not more than sixty Of the 10000
teachers in New York were present, but
il is expected that there will be big
showing at the mass meeting at Wash
ington Irving High School. on March
10, where the question OF whether or
not the teachers shall organize will
probably be decided. William G. Will
cox, president Of the Board Of Educa-
ton, said yesterday that he thought II
probable that the movement would
affect only few Of the city teachers.
Theophilus Johnson, president Of the
Federation of Teachers Associations,
opposes such union as being "un-
worthy Of a servant of the public
while DR.. Henry r. Linville, head Of
the Teachers League. is one Of its
xsrmest advocates.
Sees No Fear of Strike.
The fear that teachers might have 20
go on sympathetic strikes or be called
out on strikes OF their own is a mere
bugbear, Mr.. Gompers declared
at is the right OF every man and
woman who gives service TO society TO
unite in order that people may realize
/ the service given" he said. You are
not the only city employees. There are
others, and some of them are orga-
nized. You are the poorest and the
| least considered OF all the pubic ser
wants"
That's right" al this climax.
| what benefits would teachers derive
7 from such an affiliation?" one Of the
/ instructors asked. when the meeting
vas thrown open for discussion.
1.-The usual benefits Of the Federation
are shorter hours, better wages, better
conditions, remedial legislation and
safeguarding lives" hr. Gompers re-
Piled.
"Most of the teachers here in New
York are women" interrupted fem
mine voice. ais il easy 20 organize
women am in favor Of unionf but
I don't believe most Of the women OF
the city are educated up 20 IT. Perhaps
the power Of belonging 70 a union ought
10 belong TO those who have the vote"
I've haven't been able 20 secure the
ballot for women-yet," said Mr. Com
pers. But that will not make a woman
a less important member OF the union.
/ So Washington Place, last night
A dinner Of appreciation will be given
for Mr.. Gompers at the Hotel Longscre
tomorrow evening.

At hearing before Justice Finch
last week on motion 20 make a tem-

tho station was net TO be permanent

Suffragists Outwit Ants
in Secret Hearing Move

From a stsr Correspordent o. Tie Tribune
Albany, March 6.-An attempt on the
Tart Of the Senate Judiciary Committee
10 give the "antis" an exclusive near
ing on the Whitney Suffrage amend
rnent tomorrow afternoon al O'Clock
failed tonight. The hearing was ar
ranged at the request Of the "antis.

proposed hearing was when MIS-. nor
man De r. Whitehouse. Mrs. james
Lees Laidlaw and a delegation arrived
this evening 70 persuade the Juolelaty
Committee TO stick 20 It's promise 10
take definite action on the amendment
tomorrow.
They were thunderstruck 10 learn
that a hearing had been arranged WIZ
out any word being sent 10 the SUI
fragists. although the "antls had peeh
lot in on the secret. Part OF tne deIe-
ration at once stormed the judiciary
Jcumittee room TO demand an eXplana-
ton. while others FASTENED 20 the tele,
rhone booths and sent out IS U
calls 70 suffrage speakers in al parts
of the state.
The committee apparently was sur
prised at the size Of the suffrage dele
cation, for steps were AT once taken 70
call the hearing of. The clerk OF the
committee told Mrs. Whitehouse and
number Of other workers that so many
sufragists had protested against the
hearing that the committee was gong
20 call IL of.
The suFragists became indignant az
this proposal and demanded that the
hearing be held as arranged. They IN
sisted that they represented the SUI
fragists OF the state and that no re-
quest for a postponement had come
from them. Il was then decided 10
hold the hearing as had been arranged.
Tic "antis" will be represented by
Miss Alice Hill Chittenden and Miss
Lucy Price. among others.

railing and lowered herself into the
rater, dangling her legs so the boys
might grab them and be pulled 70

boys, announced that Miss krauss was
no heroine.
Miss Krauss's friends who were IA
miliar with the case reported 20 the
Ralston Purina Hero Commission. OF

was worth q gold medal. Mr.. Csrpen-

L was decided. The full benefit Of
this move may not be realized until
the medical school is able 20 replace
its present home in Fifty-ninth Street
with a new building. An effort was
made some time ago by the university
and the Presbyterian hospitals TO
raise the funds necessary for the pur-
chase OF the site OF the old American
League Park. at 16sth Street, but the
movement failed through the lapSing
OF the option.
Il was provided that after July l.,
1918, the minimum entrance require
ments for the medical school be made
the successful completion OF college
work in sill respects, the same as that
required Of undergraduates in Column
bia College. who are following the
combined college and medical course.
The present requirements call for the
completion Of only two years work IN
any college or scientific school.
The trustees also approved the
recommendation that, II sufficient
funds we're provided and suitable hos
pital arrangements made. the curricu-
ium be extended from four 20 five
years. thereby relieving the medical
student from crowding his work and
giving each student one year OF prsc-
