Police Lieutenant

Police Commissioner. Enright rein
stated yesterday Lieutenant William f.
Maher, credited with being the origi-
nator OF the "shoo-Ay" system. who was
dismissed on September q last year by
x-Commissioner Woods on charges
MED by a woman and pstrolman who
worked under Maher.
Mr.. Woods. in dismissing Mahe-
after twenty-five years of service,
stated in an official order that his
action followed Maher's trial on
charges OF having BORROWED money
from woman under false pretences'
and OF having told a patroiman that
he had borrowed the money for the
purpose of giving it to persons con-
nccted with the Municipal Civil Service
Commission in order to get q re-rating"
on the eligible list for captain.
The lieutenant proved to Deputy
Commissioner Gotf, who conducted the
rehearing ordered by Commissioner
Enright. that he had settled his debts

penalty imposed was too severe. and
recommended his reinstatement. Maher

Mr.. Robinson's answer was that he
considered himself much as a soldier
under orders and generally evaded the
question, but stated that, as a general
proposition Stone & Webster had
always found that the less they were
directed or controlled, the more sue
cessful and expeditions they were in
their work
The work, he said, was now we'll up
or ahead of schedule and that, with
the exception OF some shortage in
lumber. materials were arriving as
rapidly as required 1t was at this
point that, in response to a direct
question. he was forced to spring

Dye Interests Fail
To End Differences

The efforts of the dyestuff trade to
bring the manufacturers and dealers
together failed yesterday, when repre-
sentatives of the industry met at the
Chemists Club, SO East Forty-first
Street. The manufacturers formed a
separate organization and the dealers
were denied membership.
After the meeting prominent dealers
after the war to handle German dyes,
as they did before hostilities.
H. Gardner McKerrow. of E. Drew e.
Co. so Broad Street, one of the lead
ing spirits among the dealers in bring
ing about the meeting, said that certain
large manufacturers, seeking to doml-
nate the industry, are willing that the
German product be placed on the
American market because it would
force many of the smaller manufact-
urers out of business.
"The manufacturers, by their action"
said Mr.. McKerrow, "have opened wide
the door to the German dye interests
after the war. The dealers must have
the dyes. and If the American dyes
cannot be supplied at the right price
and in the right quality they must
make their purchases in the market Of
the world, which means buy German
dyes.
"1f the organization had been com
pleted," he continued. "and the various
factors in the industry united, some
hope of effecting helpful legislation
might be held out But, disunited. the
hope Of high protective tariff is not
so good. We should be able to present
united front against foreign compe
tition after the war"

Baltimore for which he was consid

making any headway at the White
House. The President is fully informed
on the developments Of the last two
weeks, and these, officials declare. dis

He has threatened strikes in the
yards, saying that he could not prevent
them if the government didn't accent
his demands, but officials do not think
the men will follow him in what ia
generally regarded as most selfish
and uApatriotic course. However, if a
small minority of the organized car
penters does elect to leave the shin
yards at the behest of Hutcheson the
Shipping Board is prepared to fiji their
places Immediately with other workers
Thus far the Shipping Board ha,
been most conciliatory toward Hutche-
son. General Manager Piez of the
Fleet Corporation has undertaken all
steps necessary to give Hutcheson a
