3 MORE ANTI-GARBAGE
WATCHMEN KIDNAPPED
Thirty Men Seize Guards Left on
Prall'S Island by Doyle.

Pralls Island, originally named as
the site for the new Staten Island gar
bage reduction plant. was the scene Of
a second kidnapping last night. Thirty
men landed from a motorboat, seized
the three watchmen left there by Ed
ward P. Doyle, and took them to Mar
incr's Harbor.
Doyle, owner Of the island and leader
in the fight against the proposed gar
bage plant, hurried - the West Brigh-
ton police station and demanded that
the kidnappers be arrested. The police
refused until warrants are sworn out
to-day.
When Mr.. Doyle, who attempted 10
seize the garbage disposal plant site
on Lake Island, was about to be tried
by city magistrate yesterday on a
charge of obstructing navigation, made
by Mitchell supporters, he appealed to
County Judge Herman for hearing
before the grand jury.
The grand jury is made up Of Staten
Island residents, and District Attorney
Each is Staten Islander. Notwith-
standing that. Mr.. Each before Justice
Herman opposed Doyle's plea. His OPP
position was unsuccessful. and Doyle's
case will 60 10 the grand jury.
Plans for the garbage plant were
filed yesterday afternoon with the Bor-
ough of Richmond's Bureau of Public
Buildings Superintendent McDermott
referred them to the Bureau of Fire
Prevention. 1t is believed Borough
President Van Name will reject them.

ACCUSES LAWYER
OF TRUCKING HIN
Took $4,000 for Share in S15,'
PIP Judgment, Injured Man Says.

Cornelius Driscoll, a window cleaner
who obtained a judgment against the
Cadillac Hotel Company for s15,272 for
injuries sustained in fall, made
charges in the Supreme Court yester-
day that he had been tricked into &C
cepting $1,000 for his share OF the
recovery. Driscoll asked the court for
an order directing Joseph ". Clausen,
q lawyer, of 35 Wall Street, TO turn
over to him S7G36, one-half of the
amount recovered.
Driscolrs case was fought up TO the
Court of Appeals. The original verdict
in his favor was s12500. 1t grew with
the appeal to the Appellate Division
and then to the Court OF Appeals, until
with costs and interest it amounted
to more than $4,000. The window
cleaner alleges that a short time be-
fore the highest court handed down
the final decision in the case he was
told in Clausen's Office that his case
probably would be lost and tha- he
would have TO go to the poorhouse;
however, there was a man with a gam
bling spirit who would pay him $500
for his chances of ultimate success
Driscoll accepted it in full settlement
of his claim.
Soon after he read in a newspaper
Of the judgment of the Court of APP
peals. He went 10 Mr.. Clausen and
said: 81 believe I've had a pretty raw
deal from you. ! had every confidence
in your honesty. but from what | have
seen in the papers l believe you have
tricked me. | have come to find out
what you are going to do about it,
Drisco.l says Clausen left, saying he
would return in fifteen minutes TO dis
cuss the case. He did not come back
Arthur +. Engel, now counsel for
Driscoll. asked Clausen for half of the
amount Of the judgment less the $500
paid on a gambling chance" Clausen
having taken the case on a $3.50 basis
Clausen explained that a Mrs. White
had charge of the case. She admitted
this and insisted that everything that
had been done was proper.

Turn About Is Fair Play
Brotherhood Leaders lell
Railway Conferrees.
YARD MEN DEMAND
NEARLY DOUBLE PAY
Want 50 for Eight Hours, 81 for
Twelve, Where Present Rate
Is 81 for Twelve.

Soak the railroads. was one OF the
prevailing sentiments at the railway
conference between the brotherhoods
and the employers in the Engineering
Societies Building, % West Thirty
ninth Street. yesterday.
Discussing the question OF shorter
hours and better pay, Elisha Lee turned
to the union men and said:
"If the roads were soaked the way
you want to soak them
W. S. Stone, representing the en-
gineers, broke in:
The roads should be soaked The
men have been soaked for years! Tup
about is fair play"
Mr.. Lee asked what the rate OF pay
would be for yard men, who now work
for 81 with twelve-hour day. The
reply was that the men. under the new
schedule, would get 81 for eight hours
or 81 for twelve hours.
This is a case where the chickens
come home to roost,' said Mr.. Stone
"The companies have built up their
schedules on long runs, and now the
men want to get not only good wages
but good working hours. The men nave
been soaked for years by the railroads
and the companies should be soaked
for awhile"
The conference will continue to-day.

No Note Will Be Sent to
Carranza Yet, Despite
Political Situation.
DIPLOMATS WORKING
TO HAMPER U. S.
Agents In Mexico Striving TO
Offset Plans for Pan.
American Unity.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau

From 1he lrbuur buItAul
Wst Ellington, June 5.-President Will
son will stand pat on the Mexican ques-
ton for the present. IL was said au-
thoritatively to-day that no note %
Carranza was in preparation and that
probably none would be sent for week
NJ least II is believed that the Mex
lean governments 10,OOO-word note re-
ceived last week does not call for an
immediate answer.
Information obtained by the State
and War departments has convinced the
President that there is no present dan
ger of an attack on Pershing's forces
by Carranzsta troops. In view OF the
apparent tranquility Of the situation
the prevailing opinion among the Pres
dent's advisers is that the best solu-
ton for the moment is to do nothing.
Others have tried to persuade Mr.. VIII
son to send Carranza a sharp rebuke
before the Republican platform is
adopted.
The fact that the troops are still IN
Mexico is regarded by the majority as
the best possible answer to Republican
criticism A note, on the other hand,
might only irritate the Carranza gov
eminent, make the real dithcultles OF
the situation greater and perhaps force
fight or scuttle.
The purpose of the expedition, though
it has not been defined recently, is SAID
bv many officials TO be nearing accom-
II Il lot
be possible TO withdraw the troops be-
fore the end of the month unless new
complications develop.
General Carranza's demand that the
United States declare its intentions
toward Mexico, "in the interests OF
all Latin America" has aroused con-
siderable discussion in diplomatic cir
cles. Some diplomats do not hesitate
10 attribute il TO activity of foreign
agents at Mexico City, working to
offset President Wilson's efforts tow
ard a closer Pan-American relation
shin. They argue that the fact that
American marines have been employed
recently in Nicaragua, Hayti and the
Dominican Republic. and that Amer
lean troops are now in Mexico. may
lave been used by such agents to dis
count the Presidents declarations for
Pan-American amlty.
Some even assert that campaign is
On foot to prevent the United States
from obtaining permanently the trade
with South and Central America and
Mexico formerly held in Europe.
Consul Edwards notified the State
DEPARTMENT from San Diego, Cal, to-
oav that he had quit his post at Aca-
puIeo, Mexico He said nothing about
the situation in the vicinity. All con,
sular officers in Mexico are authorized
to return to the United States when
ever conditions justify. Consul Cen
eral Hanna, at Monterey, reporting on
an anti-intervention parade there yes
tsrday, said it was not strictly an
anti American demonstration.

having been disbarred Cor thirteen
years, brought suit in the Supreme

had long had Oppenheim under suspi-
con of procuring bogus witnesses IN

FACING TRIAL, K0BRE
TALKED OF SUICIDE
Indicted Banker Told Prosecutor
He Couldn't Live Through 1t.

Max Kobre. the indicted banker, who
was found dead in the cellar of his
home Sunday morning, had made sew
eral threats Of suicide to Assistant
District Attorney Leslie j. Tompkins,
who was preparing the case against
him. The first threat was uttered last
April. when Kobre appeared in Mr..
Tompkins's office TO talk about entering
a plea of guilty with the consent of the
State Banking Department. One Of the
conditions imposed was that he turn
over all his personal assets to the de-
pOsitors.
"Why do you insist on going ahead
with this prosecution" he said. II
Won take the roof from the heads of my
family you will never try me-"
About ten days ago Kobre appeared
