Supply, at an annual salary of $4,000,

ago. The latter accepted and was
sworn in by the Mayor at the City
Hall yesterday.
The new appointee takes the place of
Charles Strauss, president of the
board, who resigned recently. Mr..
Strauss, in his letter of resignation to
the Mayor, stated that the remaining
work of the board did not warrant the
services Of three commissioners and
that he thounht the city ought to save
his salary of $4,000. Mayor Hylan
was in favor of abolishing. the board
The city administration sent a bill to
Albany providing for its abolition, but
it was not passed by the Legislature.
The Mayor explained these points in
his letter to Mr.. O'Rcilly.
Local politicians were not surprised
at this further evidence of the Hearst
Hylan alliance. Mr.. OReilly was an
active worker in Mayor Hylan's cam

Pier SO Is Placed
On Market for Bids:
$4,000 Is Offered

The city has practically been forced
to put Pier 50, North River, in the
public market for bids on the lease
as result Of the opposition against
renting it to the Hudson Dock and
Terminal Corporation for $4,000, as
approved by the Sinking Fund Com
mission on April II. The controversy
has led to several bids above that fig
ure. A new bid of $4,000 was made
yesterday by James Auditore & Co.,
Inc, stevedores, of ID Hamilton Ave-
nue., Brooklyn.
At the request OF the Corporation
Council, Justice Greenbaum, of the
Supreme Court, Brooklyn, modified tile
temporary injunction obtained in a
taxpayers suit brought by the Occi-
dent Dock Company, present lessee Of
the pier, restraining the city from clos
ing the lease to the Hudson Corpora
tlon. The modified order provides that
the city may consider bids for the
lease at $4,000 or over, pending the
settlement of the injunction action.
The court also directed that the city
give twenty-four hours notice to the
Occldent company of any such offers.
Justice Greenbaum last week referred
the whole matter to referee, appoint
ing Lewis l.. Delaticld, of 20 Exchange
Place, to take testimony. The Occi-
dent company contended that it had
been precluded from bidding for re-
ncwal Of the lease by the refusal OF
Dock Commissioner Murray Hubert to
confer with their representatives. The
Dock Commissioner denied this and
the question of veracity was left to
the referee.
Since the approval Of the lease by
the Sinking Fund Commission the Hud.
son Corporation agreed to pay 100000
The Occident company had submitted
bid for 100000 and raised it tc
$4,000.
The new action of the court is no,
expected to interfere with the hearing
before Referee Delafeld. which will be.
gin tomorrow in the County Court.
house at 2 p. m. The hearings will be-
open to the public.
Charles j. Nchrbas. Assistant Cor.
poration Counsel, applied for the modi.
fication Of the injunction, but sur.
gested that the mini mum figure on the
bids be $30, 900 Gcofge W. Field. com,
sci for the Occdcnt Dock Company
called attention to tho fact that the
offer of $35, 900 from his company was
outstanding. Justice Greenbaum de-
clared that it was proper for the cit,
to get as high price us possible fol

DR.. Buenz Will Be
Moved to Atlanta
Prison on Friday
Federal Marshal Instructed
to Take Hamburg Line
Director Into Custody

DR.. Karl Buenz, managing director of
the Hamburg-American Line, who
sought to make New York base for
the German sea raiders operating in
the North Atlantic. will start for the
United States pef1itentiary at Atlanta
on Friday to serve term of eighteen
months, imposed on him more than
two years ago.
Francis Caffey, Assistant United
States Attorney, yesterday received a
telegram from Washington announcing
President Wilson had denied Buenz's
application for a respite OR commu-
tation of sentence. About the same
time the mandate of the United States
plication for writ of certiorari.
Thus terminated one of the bitterest
legal battles to save man from the
penitentiary waged in recent years.
Buenz was tried and convicted in the
Federal Court of conspiring to defraud
the government by issuing false mani
tests to ships supplying German raid
ers at sea. When sen ,enced he ap-
pealed and was released on bail.
The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals
confirmed the conviction, and Buenz,
after retaining an eminent array of
counsel. brought his case before the
United States Supreme Court, in which
writ of certiorari was denied about
month ago.
Buenz in the meanwhile applied to
the President for respite or commu
tation of sentence on the ground of i'll
health: An inquiry as to his physical
condition was held before Federal
Judge Harland B. Howe, of Vermont.
After hearing the testimony of noted
medical men who had examined Bucnz
Judge Howe recommended that the
sentence be executed. He concluded
his opinion to Attorney General Greg
cry by refusing to recommend a res
pitc, commutation of sentence or par
don.
Mr.: Caffey instructed United States
Marshal Mccarthy to take Buenz in
custody not later than $3.50 o'clock on
Thursday. 1t is probable he will not
be started south until Friday, when
his valet and a United States marshal
will accompany him.
Dr.. Buenz, who is seventy-six years
old, formerly was Consul General Of
Germany in New York and at one time
was German Imperial Minister to
Mexico. He is a personal friend of
the aiserK and was decorated by him.
He also was on friendly terms With
Won Bernstorf and his aids, Boy-Ed
and Won Papen. Until the German
Club, at 112 Central Park South, was
closed by the Federal authorities about
a month ago he made it his home. Since
then he has been living at / East
FiftysiXtl Street.

the way it ended:
"Buy bonds," the speaker urged.
"Buy bonds and uphold the powerful
arms of that greatest of modern

Enthusiasm quite carried him away
