Says TROOPS SUFFER
FROM HERO WORSHIP

Hero worship OF the man in uni
form is actually the cause OF neglect
of the soldier who visits the city.
This is the opinion of DR.. Charles
Wood. pastor OF the Church Of the
Covenant, expressed in a short talk
before the District Congress of Moth
ers at the Shoreham yesterday.
"soIdiers look SO big and strong
that we think they don't need any as
sistance. It is hero worship of the
man In uniform, but as q matter of
fact. the soldier even gets sessick
and homesick."
With this thought with them the
District Congress Of Mothers are
spurred on today to carry to compile
ton their United Service Clubhouse
for soldiers at % Jackson place.

oath that he had been sent to Idaho
by Arthur LeSeuer, secretary Of the
.Non-partisan league, to work among
the farmers for the league; that he
had been working under the direction
Of Ray McKaig, the field secretary for
the league in Idaho. He confessed that
he was a Socialist and a sympathizer
with the 1. w. W.; that he had made
statements in defense of the acts Of
Haywood; that he declared the draft
law unconstitutional and that he was
against the war; that he had told a

sent him back TO continue TO peddle

was arrested McKaig took steps to
defend him.
But the evidence was overwhelming
and Mann confessed everything.
Many discriminating letters were
found on Mann and were taken over by
the secretary of the GOOding county
council of defense. Later the secre-
tary's Office was burgIarized and all
the Mann letters that were there then
were stolen. The more important ones
had been placed in a bank vault. Who

Inc anniversary yesterday of the
murder OF Ruth Cruger by Alfredo

DAP West 127th Street, by coincidence

1rlal OF John l.. Lagarenne, sus-
pended detective sergeant of the

cause he had not KEEP. Cocchi under
Cocchi had then been
missing two days. Lagarenne said
Cocchi was a reputable business man

Board of Appeals
Dismissed; Zone
Law Is Menaced
Realty Interests Worried
When Hylan Calls for
designations

Mayor Hylan yesterday asked foI
the designations Of the members O
the Board of Appeals, which passe'
upon all disputes between architect:
and builders, and the building super
intendents of the five boroughs.
1t was announced at the Mayors Of
! flee that it was the Mayors intention
to reorganize the board, but much con
ccrn is expressed in real estate cir
cles as to the future of this importan
body of medators in the field Of rea
estate. There arc about 1000 appeals
now pending before the board.
AS the board is established by stat
ute, the Mayor cannot we'll abolish it
but in view Of the recent abolition OF
the committee on city plan of the
Board Of Estimate, of which Robert
II. Whittcn was chairman, another
step is seen in we'll conceived design
to attack the plan of building restric
tion and redistricting zones now ir
force throughout the city.
Hearst Opposes Present Zones
1t was pointed out that w. r.
Hearst, Mayor Hylan's political spon-
sor, was strongly opposed to the pres
Mr.. Hearst and others who fought the
zoning plan, with the assistance OF
the Mayor, are seeking means to mod.
crate, if not entirely do away with
this regulatory system. The Board of
Estimate has the power to rescind the
resolution adopted by that board on
July 25, 1916, establishing the re-
stricted building zones and regulating
the heights of buildings.
The Board of Standards aud Ap-
peals. consisting of the members of
the Board Of Appeals and the Fire
Commissioners and the building super
ditional members, administers the
zoning law, which was worked out by
the Commission on Building Districts
and Restrictions, appointed by the
Board of Estimate in May. 1914, of
which Mr.. Whittcn was secretary.
Appointed by Mitchell
The members of the Board of APP
peals are Rudolph p. Miller, chair
man, salary $500; Howard c. Baird,
William Crawford, Alfred r. Kirkus,
Alfred j. Boulton. Lansing C. Holden
and Fire Chief John Kenlon. The
members, outside of the chairman, re-
ceive $40 day when hearing appeals.
Daniel Sullivan is secretary at salary
of $4,000 The members of the retir-
ing board were appointed by Mayor
Mitchell.
Mayor Hylan gave no indication YES
terday whom he might appoint as the
new members Or when he would fill the
vacancies. The chairman has to be an
architectural engineer, and of the re-
naming members of the board one has
to be an engineer, one an architect, one
builder and one a labor man.
There was report at the City Hall
Yesterday that there had been some
objection in labor circles to the pres
ent labor member of the board. Mr.

that Mayor Hylan was seeking the 20
