STATEN ISLAND GARBAGE
PLANT WINS POINT
Court Orders Issuance of Build
ing Permit.

Justice Crane, Of the Supreme Court
of Kings County, granted a writ OF
mandamus last night ordering Will
lam McDermott, Superintendent OF
Buildings in Richmond, to grant per-
NIT for the erection of the reducer OF
the garbage plant that Staten Island
has been fighting against for weeks.
Owing to the refusal of Superintendent
McDermott to grant the permit, no
work on the reducer, which is to be
200 to 800 feet. has been done. The
decree will be entered to-day, and an
appeal from il is said to be impossible.
Edward p. Doyle's embattled young
oysters still stand in serried ranks
about Lake Island, the site of the in
Generator. and Doyle still claims title
10 the island and to the road giving &C
cess 10 il from the mainland. Just
what the Metropolitan By-Products
Company, which is building the plant,
intends TO do about getting supplies
and men on the island, no one seems
to know.
Liston L. Lewis, of Lewis & Kelsey,
counsel for the metropolitan By-Prod-
ducts Company, was sure last nleh1,
however. that work on the reducer
would begin at once. Previous permits
for the construction OF buildings con-
nected with the plant have been grant
ed orudgingly by Superintendent Nc
Dermott' He waited until the expira-
ton of the time set by law and then
demanded an opinion from the Cor
poration Counsel before granting the
permits

NEW MILK RAISE
THREATENS CITY
Farmers Ask More Money
Dealers Hope to Post
pOne Increase.

Milk, despite its recent rise in price,
has threatened to go up again. NOT
long ago bottled pints were increased
because the amount paid to the farm
ers made it necessary. Now the farm
ers want more money, and II they
succeed in getting it large dealers in
milk may again be forced TO charge
higher rates.
Probably there will be no change in
the milk schedule before October /,
when the present contracts between
farmers and dealers run out B. 5.
Halsey, of the Sheffield Farms-Slaw
son-Decker Company, said yesterday
he would oppose another raise.
al the farmers demand more money
wen try TO agree with them if their
terms are at all reasonable. But their
demand for five cents quart is too
much. If we paid mat much money
everybody would try to sell US milk
and the market would be flooded"
Not quite so optimistic was the at
titude of Secretary Smith OF the
Clover Farms. Inc. He thinks much
utpFHuS OF the lOCdlllg llOH NhlNh a
company buys milk, and more on the
strength OF the dairymen'ss associa-
lions. Mr. Smith admitted yesterday
that his company might be forced to
raise the price on grade B milk, even
during the summer, though no sweep
ing changes will be made until October.
The milk companies are worried by
the rumor that ice will 90 up again.
Several said yesterday that there was
nothing 20 confirm this report.
President Owen Of the Knicker-
booker Ice Company admitted the pres
ent hot spell was fast using up the
reserve, but that the company had no
idea at present of charging more.
Bakers in New York denied yester-
day that bread loaves would be sold
only in the l0-cent size. Such prop
osition was being debated, they said.
at Western convention, but there
had been no talk of it in New York
circles.

Notwithstanding some divergence
of opinion on the subject, ! think
that it is quite safe to say that the
lessons of naval engagements in the
war have justified the generally &C
cepted division into classes of fight
ing craft battleships, heavy and
light cruisers, destroyers and, per
haps, submarines.
al use the qualifying word with
reference TO submarines because, in
my opinion, the submarine has not
proved very important fighting fac
tor during the presen- war. Perhaps
contrary TO popular impression, the
submarine has affected only to a very
slight degree the tonnage available
for the maritime purposes Of the En-.
tente Allies. Indeed, the shortage OF
tonnage, which has been causing so
much Inconvenience, is due in an over
whelming proportion 20 the absorp-
ton of ships for naval and military
purposes. Notwithstanding this fact,
the possibility of the development OF
the submarine must not be left out OF
account"

Navy Officers Oppose
New Promotion Plans

Naval officers are already up In arms
over the proposed legislation changing
the personnel of the navy, particular
" the clause retiring officers at the
age of forty, provided they have not
reached the rank Of commander. If
the bill as outlined went through, there
would be wholesale retirements, IL was
said. and the navy would receive the
greatest upset since it's organization.
Hundreds of capable officers, one man
asserted, would be forced out Of the
navy because they had been held back
by the slow method of promotion.
II was pointed out that just now,
when efforts were being made to IN
crease the official personnel, the
"joker" appeared, putting hundreds OF
men on the retired list Omcers were
badly needed in the navy right now, 1t
was asserted, with the increase In
ships. the increased building pro-
gramme necessitating more officers as
supervisory constructors OF machinery
and hulls, and the increase of the en-
listed personnel. Congress was aiming
right, officials said but would make no
records as marksmen.
At the New York Navy Yard 1t was
learned last night that there would be
very few left of the officers now on
duty there if the present plans OF
promotion went into effect. Oficers
sure 10 stay are Rear Admiral Usher,
CAPTAIN George L. Burd and Command
or Frank b. Upham. All have reached
the desired rank, and the change will
not affect them. Lieutenant Comman-
ders f. P. Jessop, S. II. poyle, P. b..
DUNCAN, ]. +. Bailey and Lieutenants
c. A. Blakely, R. Clarke, W. S. Ander-
son, R. R. NJ. Emmett and others prob
ably will be forced out of the, service.
While navy yard officials and officers
of vessels stationed there criticised
the proposed change, they said there
must be some mistake in the reports
sent out. For man to reach the rank
of commander at the age of forty was
impossible under the system OF pro-
motions now in vogue, officers SAID.
