that organization found only per
cent increase in rents necessary. 1t
houses about $4,000 persons. Despite
extraordinary expenses due to war con-

balance of 1921, 1902. Concerning
rents the report says:
"Rents were raised generally through
out the city last year, the range of in
crease being from 10 to 80 per cent.
These raises in rents represented in
many cases what the landlords could
get, rather than what they needed, to
meet the heavier expenses. Our slight
raise of per cent may not be sufficient
to meet our added burdens, but we do
not intend to raise rents further unless
it becomes matter of imperative
necessity"

Hoover Intervenes to
Save Garbage Plant

After Richmond County had started
an investigation yesterday to deter
mine whether the garbage disposal
plant on Staten Island was a nuisance
and the contractors amenable under
the law, District Attorney Albert c.
Each received letter from Herbert
c. Hoover, Food Administrators, be-
speaking leniency for the plant.
Mr. Hoover wrote that proclama-
tion would be issued to the people Of
Staten Island, asking them to be in
dulgent with the garbage contractors
until the Objectionable features of the
plant should be remedied. The by
products obtained from the plant. es-
pecially glycerine, he wrote, were in
valuable to munition plants. Fifty per
cent of the glycerine produced in the
United States comes from the i'll
smelling Staten Island plant, Hoover
said, and interference with its output
would embarrass the government.
The grand jurors visited the plant
yesterday. Among the witnesses they
heard were sanitary experts, at least
one of whom already has rendered an
adverse report concerning the plant,
and complaining residents.

Timothy Crowley, brother of Mrs.

on an Indictment charging him with
assault in the second degree. Crowley
was indicted as a second offender and
faces term of from ten to twenty
years in states prison in the event of
conviction.
He entered plea of not guilty. On
the morning of May he fired three

taking effect. Crowley, who is in the
United States navy, used service re-

Sheriff Knott
Is Criticised for
Gangster's Escape
Tombs Warden Surprised
at Delay in Removing
Slayer to Prison

Vincent Gaffney, the young Gopher
gangster who escaped from the Tombs
last Wednesday afternoon and later
emptied his revolver at two detectives
in Tenth Avenue at West Forty-seventh
Street, wounding two children, is still
at large Scores of detectives were
searching the city for him yesterday
and last night. Inspector Cray's men
learned She automobile in which Gaff-
ney was riding when ne fred at Detec-
tives Flood and Whitney bore q New
Jersey license belonging to a man in
license plate was stolen.
Warden Hanley, of the Tombs. said
he was trying to learn why Sheriff
KNOTS deputies did not take Gaffney
to Sing Sing Wednesday, to serve his
term OF nineteen years and seven
months for manslaughter.
rive men were to be takcn-tw
short term men and three for long
terms" said Warden Hanley. "Thc
snort term men were removed and the
others, including Gaffney. were left be-
hind. 1t seems strange to me Gaffney
wasn't taken. The public may rest as
sured, however, there will be no more
escapes from the Tombs by jumping
out Of windows"
Deputy Sheriff Hannigan, in charge
OF the transportation of prisoners from
the Tombs to State institutions, said: !:
g! am surprised Warden Hanley made
such statement. He knows it has
been the custom to take long term
prisoners away when their friends are
least expecting it. Frequently, as a
precaution, we go by circuitous route
to the 125th Street Station, instead of
the Grand Central. We take no chances
on long termers."
Inspector Cray was sure Gaffney
would be caught in a short time. He
said his experiences with Gopher gang
sters had taught him that, contrary to
expectation, when they commit crime
or break Jail, they do not leave the
city, but return to their haunts, de-
pending on their knowledge of their
particular ssction of the city and the
protection Of their fellow gangsters to
keep them out of the hands of the
police.
