JUSTICE is VICTIM
OF TICKET HOLDUP
Jurist's Futile Attempt to Foil
Theatre Spectators Barred
by Swami.

District Attorney Swami related yes
terday the experience OF a Supreme
Court Justice who endeavored to obtain
tickets through the box office OF one of
the largest theatres as typical OF the
trouble the average theatregoer has In
getting seats to see a successful produce
tlon.
Several'weeks ago the jurist went TO a
box Office and was told he could not get
a good scat there except for a perform
ance six we eiSs later He was directed
TO the ticket agencies. The. following
the theatre for the tickets. he preferrinG
to do business directly with the theatre.
The answer came back that the tickets
had not yet been printed and the mes
senEer was again directed to the epecu-
lntors.
Determined TO get to the bottom OF the
apparent conspiracy against the public,
the jurist once more sent to the theatre
with instruction TO have the box office
man mail tickets sor the earliest date
for which they were printed. When the
persistent messenger was questioned and
the name OF his employer disclosed two
tickets for date six weeks of were
finally produced.
Flo Ziegfeld. Jr.. wired the District
Attorney from Philadelphia yesterday

you will succeed in having proposed or
dinance passed. but I doubt It." he said.
The proposed ordinance limiting the
activities of the spectators is now be-
fore the public welfare board of the

Marconi General Manager An
swers Cartoons Attack ON

Newcomb Carlton, president Of the
Western Union Telegraph Company. is-
sued a statement yesterday in which he
dlsparaged the effectiveness of the new
Weagsnt invention, which is said TO
overcome static difficulties in wireless
operation. and intimated that the an
nouncement OF the invention had been
made to promote the sale of wireless
stock.
f. ]. Nally. vice-prcsidont and gen.
eral manager OF the Marconi Wireless
Telegraph Company of America,
promptly summoned the reporters and
, gave out a counter statement. Mr. Nally
said Mr.. Cartons pronouncismento was
/ exactly the sort OF one he should expect
! from the Western Unions chief eXecu-
tive who had cables OF his own"
The interesting statement by the
Marconi Company that wireless COM
munication is now perfected serves to
| remind me OF similar predictions made
| by that orgapization and its friends dur
| ing the last ten years. none OF which has
10 far completely materialized,' said
Mr. Carlton. ~ have observed an in
teresting coincidence between the pre-
dicticn OF epoch making progress and
the fiotation OF fresh issue of stock

lions materiallzed. there would TODAY

Mr.. Carlton said he knew some
| thing" Of the Weagont invention. and
that he would venture to say It would
prove to be similar in character to many
OF the other much heralded Innovations"
In rebuttal Mr.. Nally said II was the
fate OF all inventors ito call forth the
slurs and the Ill tempered comments OF
the ignorant"
mo stock has been issued by the
Marconi Company since have been
connected with II, nor is any issue con-
teniplated," Mr. Saliy asserted. Tie
company's resources are abundantly
sufficient for its purposes"
The company intends to demonstrate
the operation OF the static preventing
system before a delegation of engineers
chosen by various engineering and sci
entihc bodies OF the country. Mr.. Nally

FOR STEEL INDUSTRY


In an address last night before 900
mining, mechanical and civil engineers
IN the Engineering Societies Building.
20 West Thirty-nlnth street, Albert C.
Richie, counsellor OF the War Indus
tries Board. representing ]. Leonard
Replogle. director of steel supply of the
board. admitted that the definite policy
had been WORKED out by the War In
dustries Board for the reconstruction
period.
Mr.. Rltchle's address wac a defense
of the work OF tho War Industries
Board, particularly In its relation to the
steel Industry. But he made no attempt
TO disguise the facts that he said were
apparent to every person interested in
the industry.
I'VE have developed" he said, 'un-
Ger pressure Of war necessity pro-
ducing capacity OF 100000 tons OF
steel a year, and II Is to the everlasting
credit OF the men In the steel industry
that they did II, But now that We have
have not a peace market at hand for
the product.
I'VE are now in tho position OF having
to convert our steel Industries back
again from q war 70 a peace basis
with no market for our peace produc-
tion.'
Mr.. Rtchle estimated that at leas.
100000 900 had been saved for the
United States and the Allies through
the price fixing authority exercised by
the War Industries Board.
Capts p. r. Dulieux, a French en-
gineer, pointed out that with the acaul-
sition OF Aisace France may soon be-
come an important competitor OF the
United States In the steel industry.

STEAMSHIP MEN
APPLAUD HUBERT
Harbor Improvement In.
dorsed by Many Interests.

About 800 steamship men. freight
brokers and export agents. who know
the advantages and limitations of New
York's harbor facilities. applaudeti Wig
orously last night when Murray Hubert,
Dock Commissioner. outlined his plan
for immediate Improvement Of harbor
conditions at a dinner OF the Foreign
Commerce Club at the McAlpin Hotel.
Mr.. Hubert urged the members OF
their club to us their influence and
knowledge of congested and archaic har-
Dor condition to awaken public senti-
ment in his plan for improvements, so
that official action might be hurried.
For many years we have stood still
In harbor development" said Mr.. HUI
bert, after he had outlined the plan
which has been awaiting official In
dorsement and the. funds to put II
through when the war started we
were hardly able TO accommodate the
tonnage that came to us. II action is
not taken by New York and taken
quickly, business that must follow the
war will overflow to other Atlantic
ports, which now are in a far better
way to receive 1t than they were be-
fore the war"
Only $4,000. 900 had been asked to
carry his plan OF harbor Development
through, Mr.. Hubert said. whereas
500, 900, 900 could be used. and to ad-
R~'9 re-
Among the questions discussed ~ ~
Hubert was relief of pier and freight
congestion at Staten Island. He
the solution OF this problem would be
found in the establishment OF a, ferry
service, exclusively for freight. running
from perhaps Liberty street TO Staple
ton. At the present. Mr.. Hubert said.
long delays are experienced in the
transportation OF freight by trucks over
the regular ferries, because at low tide
extreme difficulty is encountered in Get
ting the trucks of the boats at their
present slips.
Another important item in the pro-
posed Improvement, he said. was the
suggestion to have Sound steamers
transfer their piers from the North to
the East River Under the present sys-
tenn the steamers that go to Boston and
other New England ports by way of the
Sound "travel every year the equivalent
of a tourney around the world unneces-
sarily." Complaints are received regu-
lar. Mr.. Hubert said. from officers al
the navy yard that Sound steamers In
their useless trip around the Battery
seriously interfere with traffic In the
East River. Incidentally. he said, II the
sound steamers were to use East River
piers In the neighborhood of Twenty
third street, he could obtain a rental OF
s35 900 year for each pier so used. The
same piers. now return only $4,000 rent
a year each
