Tax Favor Charge
By Hylan Denied
Assessments Increased In
stead of Decreased Under
Mitchell, Says Purdy
By BRIGGS

Lawson Purdy, president Of the Tax
Commissioners, yesterday denied in de-
tail the charge of Judge Hylan, Tam
many candidate for Mayor, that certain
corporations and individuals had been
favored with tax reductions during the
Mitchell administration. In most cases
the tax showed an increase instead OF
a reduction. Mr.. Purdy's statement
was given out at Fusion headquarters
in the Hotel Manhattan. Here 1t is In
part:
"The man who hands figures to Judge
Hylan about taxes thinks he finds
reduction Of $29, ,o00, 900, and names the
New York Central Railroad as one Of
the benefcisries. The New York Cen
trail has enjoyed an increase In 1917
over 1914 Of ever s30.000,000, almost
equally divided between the four years.
The actual increase for four years 10
as follows:
1914, s7,s37,9o5.
1915, S7,969 $50.
1915, S7.S26,900.
1917, s6,s6S60
Total, $50, ,602,855.
ut would seem easy TO give real de-
creases in assessed values. for the Tax
Department has met declining values
by decreasing assessments in Manhat-
tan ever $500, 100000 in two years. Al
most all the decrease is In the declin-
ing sections south Of Fortieth Street
and in Harlem.
"Some of the public service corpora
tions named as receiving decreases are
the following:
Increase
Name 1914 to 1917
Third Avenue Railroad. .... ,s74e,3oo
United Electric Light and
Power Company. .......... 5,742,o00
Manhattan Railway Company 3,7S0,100
New York Telephone Com
pany .................. lo,fS1,oVu
Total ............. ..... .$24 ,O64,7 700
"The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany Is also named as beneficiary,
and this company was increased $6,-
56,100.
"Ths above statement involves many
parcels of real estate, and 1t was pre-
pared for publication in the 1917 re-
port. For this reason the increase Is
given for the period from 1914 to 1917.
Property belonging TO various persons
is alleged to be decreased, but as no
specifications are given 1t is impossible

Robber, II, and
His Victim Dead
Burglars Brother Says
They Planned to Pay
Doctors Bill

Hugh Davis, seventeen years old,
was the burglar who shot down three
persons early yesterday morning at
636 Park Place, Brooklyn, and then en-
gagged in a pistol battle with the police
in the cellar of the building. He died
last night from his wounds in the Jew
ish Hospital. Samuel Regensberg, of
1920 Belmont Avenue, The Bronx, one
Of his victims, died from the bullets
Davis poured into him. His brother
Harry, In whose apartment the burglary
was attempted, and Mrs. Harry Regens-
berg were seriously wounded.
Leon Davis, Hugh's brother, twenty
three years old, and Paul Chapman,
sixteen, are under arrest as accomplices
in the burglary. The police say they
confessed, but denied having fired any
shots. The brothers lived at 591 Pros
pect Place, Brooklyn. Chapman's home
is at 1892 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn.
Chapman had been a choirboy in a
Brooklyn church, and after learning
that he was an intimate friend of Hugh
Davis the police obtained his address
from the Church records and arrested
him. Leon Davis was arrested when he
called at the hospital 10 inquire about
his brother
According TO the story the police said
they obtained from the prisoners, the
youths were novices as burglars, but

Mayor Wins Over
Hostile Audience
More Than 1000 Negroes
Forget Antagonism and
Wildly Cheer Mitchell

More than two thousand negroes who
hissed, booed and jeered Mayor Mitchell
when he entered Palace Casino. IA East
135th Street. last night, forgot their
antagonisms, and even cheered him en-
Enthusiastically when he proved that he
was a fighting Mayor in deed as well
as name.
The hall was crowded to overfowing
when the Mayor, heading a party OF
aids, elbowed a way TO the platform. BY
the time he had reached that point of
vantage, shouts, cheers and jeers made
it impossible for him to speak. The ex-
citement was increased when the more
daring of the disturbers left their seats
and began their way toward the plat
form.
A body of policemen Immediately
started down the aisles, pushing back
the negroes, waving their clubs and
preparing to surround Mayor Mitchell.
"Just a minute" shouted the Mayor.
81 don't need policemen to guard me.
You policemen go back to the rear OF
the hall and III talk this thing over"
The policemen reluctantly retired
while the former disturbers grinned at
the daring of the Mayor and ceased
their shouting. The speaker had talked
but q few minutes, however, when the
uproar began once more.
"Shut up!" he shouted, shaking his
fist at the crowd. "Im here to talk
and I'm going to be heard or know the
reason why"
Convinced that he meant what he
said the trouble makers seated them.

German Spies
Have Access to
City's Supplies
Continued from page 1

stored in the cupooards of the con-
sumers but their supply is proverbially
from hand to mouth.
In protecting the city's food supply
the police power, it is pointed out, will
have to centre its efforts on the larger
warehouses. The other places where
food is kept before it reaches the table
are widely scattered. All except the
warehouses, including dry and cold
storage, and the factories in which
large quantities of canned goods are
stored in month to month supplies, are
poor objects of attack for the incen-
diary or plotter.
In the case of meat, the city's sup
ply is largely from day to day because
of the predominance Of kosher slaugn..
terers, whose products cannot be held
over very long. Half of the city's sup
ply of meat, however, is shipped from
Western packing houses, goodly
share of which is put in storage. Inc
city's slaughter houses are concsn..
trated in the vicinity Of Fortysec ond
Street at the North and East Rivers.
Lucius P. Brown, director Of the
Health Departments bureau of foods
and drugs, pointed out that the very
concentration of storage facilities in
this city made their defence a feasible,
though not an easy, task. He made four
constructive suggestions for their pro-
lection:
1-Segregate the districts in which
the large storage warehouses
have been built and provide as strong
police guards as though the structures
were munition plants.
o-Make a thorough survey of the
men employed in such storage
places and exclude all alien enemies.
Get authority to compel all the
storage buildings in the desig-
mated zone to rent their property only
for food storage. Under proper admins
tration it could be arranged that a
furniture warehouse, for example, in
the food zone could turn over it's lease
for the duration of the war to food
storage company whose place was with
out the zone.
Awhile the war lasts discontinue
the practice of inviting the pub
lie to visit food factories where large
quantities Of eatables are stored.
Would Regulate Rents
The practical difficulties in putting
such programme into effect were not
mnimized by Mr.. Brown. An actual
shortage of storage facilities, he said,
was the most important obstacle 10 sur
mount. A way out, in his opinion, would
be to build temporary wooden shacks
along the waterfront in emergencies for
the keeping of the most non-perishable
foods. Moreover. Mr.. Brown would have
the government regulate the price per
cubic foot that a landlord would be
permitted to charge for storage space.
The staples upon which New York
depends for subsistence from day to
day and week TO week are concentrated
in 250 dry storage warehouses, sixteen
cold storage warehouses and canning
and other factories. For the most part
these structures are clustered along
the river fronts, within limited areas.
They house two weeks supply of meat
and poultry, three weeks supply Of
-four, a months supply of sugar and Of
eggs ard the whole reserve of canned
goods
