n. Y. HARBOR FIGHT
WON BY HUBERT
Gets 100000 East River I'M
provemeut Project in Bill
After Struggle.
From The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington. Feb. 16. After Cruel
ling fight in the House Committee on
Rivers and Harbors. Representative
Murray Hubert Of New York City,
succeeded I'm getting an Important new
Improvement project for New York
harDor into the annual Rivers and
harbors bill which was reported to
the House to-day The project is
for the imDro,ement OF the East
River by removing Diamond Reef
and running 35-foot channel from
the Hudson River TO the Brooklyn
Navy Yard. The item entails an eX-
penditure Of 100000
The entire river and harbor ap-
preparation bill carries S39.60S.40l.
The New York harbor item was re-
ported By Il strictly party vote, all the
Republicans on the Rivers and HaT-
bors Committee voting against r. IT
is understood that Representative Fitz-
gerald, of Brooklyn, had threatened
that If the item for New York Harbor
were not included he would fight the
bill as a whole. For the first years
work on the East River Channel prof.
ect the bill provides 100000.
Representative Hubert was not sue
cessful in persuadlng the committee
TO consider the other New York prof.
ect. which has for its main object the
cleaning out Of Hell Gate and the con
tinuance Of the 35-foot channel from
the Hudson oil the way into the Sound.
The item had the support OF many
Of the members OF Congress who fav-
or all harbor improvements where the
mater Of preparedness is concerned
The Administration ravors both the
New York harbor projects because OF
the fact that without them the Brook
Ism Navy Yard is not as effective a
base as it would be if the approaches
thereto were clear and open at all
times to all naval vessels.
The only other new project allowed
in the bill is an item of $4,000 for i'm
provement Of the Colorado River at
TUNA. Ariz.. where the recent floods
caused considerable damage.

He SEEMS BORED
"It's Unfortunate" Says Under
taker Accused OF Kill
ing Wife.

Maintaining his "Im sorry, and IT'S
unfortunate. but" attitude, Harry
A. Schroeder. the Yorkville under
taker. who, the police say. has admitted
strangling his wife on December % TO
stop her nagging. was committed with
out bail to the Tombs yesterday by
Coroner Riordan.
The police and District Attorneys Of
fee said yesterday that the case strik-
ingly emphasized the need for veriica-
ton of doctors signatures on Health
Department death certificates.
Schroeder forged the name Of Leo
pold Freiberger. of 81 West llsth
Street, TO the death certificate ana
buried his wife as pneumonia victim.
His arrest was caused only through an
investigation resulting from the suspi-
cion of neighbor. conveyed TO the po-
lice in letter.
The man has proven 70 be an inter
esting subject to The new Police De-
partment's psychopathic laboratory,
and he will be examined al length TO-
dav. An attempt will be made by DR..
Bisch TO establish Schroeffler's mental
rating to decide whether the crime was
the product OF cold, calculating, sane
man or one mentally deficient.
The story Of the crime was told yes.
terday morning by Detective Butts, OF
the Third Branch Bureau. 10 the Coro-
ner. He said Schroeder told the story
20 him and to Assistant District Attor-
nev Manure following his arrest Tues
dav night while at beefsteak party.
On December 2S there was a social
affair at the Schroeder home. 1876 East
Eightv-sixth Street Schroeder and his
wife quar<elled.
Butts said that Schroeder told his
wife to stop her naggiug and her reply
was that Schroeder couldn't make her
shut up" Schroeder told the detec-
tive that he threw his arm about her
neck and put his hand over her mouth
TO prevent her from screaming.
Her body sagged and she dropped 10
the floor Schroeder said he thought
she had only tainted. and went to bed.
When he awoke in the morning his wife
was still on the floor. and one look
convinced him she was dead. At first
he thought of going to the police. but
decided that forging the certificate was
the easiest way.
Schroeffler pleaded not guilty yester-
dav 10 charge of homicide. He said
that il was an unfortunate occurrence
and that he was sorry for his wife's
death. Aside from temporary inter
est in his surroundings he seemed
bored.
