FIGHT FOR N. Y. NAVAL
SCHOOL BELIEVED WON
Realty Owners Alone Approve
Whitman Plan to Abandon
Institution.

ALBANY, March THAT the New
York State Nautical School a been
saved was believed here to-day after a
hearing before a meeting OF the Senate
Finance and Assembly Ways and Means
committees on a bill TO abolish the school,
and sell the school ship Newport. In
accordance with the recommendation Of
Gov. Whitman. Only one man appeared
to defend the measure and so strong
was the opposition that II Is said the
bill will be- allowed to die in committee.
At the same meeting a hearing was
scheduled on bills abolishing the position
Of Warden OF the Port of New York
and transferring the Quarantine station
at New York to Federal control. There
was no oppoistion to the measures and II
is assumed that they will be reported
and passed.
Graduates of the nautical school ap-
peared TO oppose the bill and were sup
ported by prominent members OF the
board Of governors and by representa-
tives Of some OF the biggest shipping
interests In the State.
THE laps laughed at us when we
appeared in San Francisco Bay" said
Capt. r. >. McMurray, superintendent OK
the Newport.
Compared with their three big ships
for nautical training. every one equipped
far better than the Newport, we did
seem rather put In the shade. But
would you abolish this one earnest effort
I O remedy conditions sadly needing such
a remedy?"
The action of New York in maintain
ing this school shin. Capt. McMurray
said. had been a stimulus to other States,
especially on the Pacific coast. to EMU
late New Works example. and Il would
be a grave mistake TO abolish the system.
Or, Abraham Korn. representing tho
United Real Estate Owners OF New York,
was the only speaker Tor the measure,
He said the school was Of interest and
benefit only to marine industries and
kept men from joining the navy who
would otherwise do so.

NIXON FIGHTS TO SAVE
HIS GUNC0TTON PLANT
Gets Rule to Show Cause Why
Attachment Writ Shouldn't
Be Quashed.

TRrNroN. y. j. March Lewis
Nixon OF New York obtained a rule
from Supreme Court Justice Bergen to-
day to review the proceedings under
which Sheriff Houghton OF Mlddlescx
county Yesterday attached the plant Of
the Nixon Vibration Company In Rari-
tan township for Si,4O5.25 Thu rule.
which requires Henry c. Laying Of New
York to SHOW cause why the writ should
not, he quashed, Is returnable before
Justice Bergen in eliza beth next Sat-
urday.
Laying sued out RE attachment writ
under a contract entered into Dcc.m-
Der 80. 1914. BY its terms he was TO
receive $4,000 a month for his services
In supervising the manufacture Of gun.
cotton at the nitration plant and a bo-
u Of II cent a pound for all the
guncotton turned out at q cost not ex.
csedlng ~ y. cents a pound.
Mr.. Nixon submitted an affidavit set
ting forth several grounds on which III
contended Mr.. Laying is not entitled TO
recover. First. he said. Mr.. Laying took
offence AT some criticism by Mr.. Nixon
OF his methods and quit his position be-
fore the machinery had been installed
In the plant. Mr.. Nixon said he had
been deceived by Mr., Laying AZ to the
cost OF producing %guncotton. the figure
exceeding tho maximum for which Mr..
Laying was to receive a royalty.
Based on the output OF the plant. Mr..
Nixon said II would take ten years TO
produce 100000. 600 pounds of guncot-
ton. the approximate amount upon which
Mr.. Laying claims royalties.
Another point raised by MFR. Nixon
was that he has been constantly within
the jurisdiction of the State and hence
available for service by in
any civil action. Although he moved
to New York for the winter last Septem-
her. Mr.. Nixon said he Is always ut
the plant during business hours.

that all the indictments against Siegel

Il myself would not feel warranted
IN proceeding against him under one OF

ernor.
MIR. Perkins said he believed Siegel

said he did not believe there was any

The District Attorney admitted that
the s,ipulations OF his predecessors
bound him only so far as they applied to
matters already disposed OF. He made IL
plain that he would keep any proper
agreement concerning the case and his
duty now would be to find some new
ground on which to proceed.
GOV, Whitman wrote that the indlct-
ments against Siegel We're all prepared
by MI. isrkins and that Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Train. who had charge Of
the trial. selected the ease upon which
he thought he could present the strongest
evidence. He continues:
"Of course, you understand, no Dis
trict Attorney can stipulate that Grand
Juries will not indict, and there was no
stipulation or, agreement OF any kind
that subsequent grand 1uries might not
indict this defendant, but ] think that II
wae clearly understood. although ! don't
recall that there was any written stipu-
lation, that all Of the facts having been
presented to a Jury and a judgment OF
a court having been given the District
Attorney would not proceed to try an
other one of the indictments on practi-
cally the same set of facts
MIR. Perkins wrote that while the case
was being prepared the District Attor-
ney discovered that certain changes in
the Indictments would be desirable.
These changes could only bc made by
finding superseding indictments. but the
District Attorney was not inclined to do
this BECAUSE the Supreme Court might
think II was done merely to nullify the
change OF obtained by S'egel.
