Opposes Aid for Boy Slayer
Justice Cropsey Says Sympa-
thy for Chapman Is Wasted

Justice James c. Cropsey told mem
bers Of the Portia Club Yesterday at
their meeting in the Hotel Biltmore
that the women who were trying to OBJ
tain commutation Of the death sentence
imposed on John Chapman, Brooklyn's s
sixteen-y yearold murderer and burglar,
were wasting their sympathy. There
We're plenty Of cases in the criminal
courts, said Justice Cropsey, in which
women could interest themselves to ad-
vantage, but the Chapman case, he
thought, was not one Of them.
Here is a boy" said he, "at least
he swore he was only sixteen, though
he looked to be twenty-six, but I'll not
contradict him, who weighs 15O pounds
and is five feet nine inches tall. BY
his own story he left home because he
was tired Of working, and he travelled
over quarter of the country, doing
odd jobs to get bread. A boy who has
done that is older than some will be at
twenty-six or sixty. He was plainly
old enough to understand the nature
and quality of his act"

Too Slow for Hylan,
Autoist Is Arrested
Driver Who Delayed Mayor
Car Fined for Not Having
Rear Light

Mayor Hyian caused the arrest of
another automobile driver on TIE Will
iamsburg Bridge Wednesday night for
delaying the Mayors car while cross
ing the structure homeward bound
from the City Hail. Morris Abramo-
witt, of 326 Roebllng Street, Brook
lyn was the unlucliy driver. He ex-
plained to Magistrate House, IN the
Traffic Court yesterday, that had he
known he WAS delaying Mayor !lyian
be would have speeded his machine q
little. The explanation on that score
was satisfactory to the court. but
Abramowitz had also been charged
with rot having his lamp on the rear
Of his car lighted and that cost him a
SO fine
The Mayors car was creeping along
slowly behind the Abram owitz machine
on the bridge. when the Mayor saw
Traffic Policeman Michael j. Kelly and
summoned him to the side OF the car.
"That man ahead of nc is delaying
me-" said the Mayor. "Ee is travelling
at snail's pace"
Policeman Kelly explained that he
could not serve the offender with a
summons because he had not seen him
doing "the snail pace" stunt, but de-
clared he could serve him because his
rear light was out
"Do that" said the Mayor. and Kelly
acted accordingly Abramowitz made
much better time during the balance
of the trip across the bridge, but the
absence of the rear light settled his
chances When he appeared in court

Estimate Board
To Decide on Park
Trenches To-day
1t Is Expected to Grant
Permission to Have
Them Dug

The Board Of Estimate probably will
decide definitely to-day whether or not
demonstration trenches shall be dug
IN Central Park to assist the sale of the
third Liberty Loan bonds.
In the belief that the board will
adopt the recommendation of its park
committee giving the permission, Of
hcers of the American Scenic and His
torlcal Preservation Society have called
meeting for next Monday night at
the Bar Association, when preventive
measures will be discussed LAWYERS
Tor the society are now scanning the
law to ascertain if a taxpayers suit
against the Controller and Board OF
Estimate w!ll not have the desired re.
suit. SIN an effort to bring about this
result amlcably members of the So
ciety met with members of the Park
Board and of the Liberty Loan Com.
mittee at Liberty Loan Headquarters
last evening.
Henry E. Gregory, the society's at.
torney, said that the question of lega,
action to protect Central Park was
being considered, but had not beer
concluded.
We want it UNDERSTOOD" he said
that we are for the success of the
bonds. If Central Park must be used
to beat Germany, the park must go; but
we believe that the ruination of the
park is not necessary. We don't want
to have recourse to legal action if there
is any other way"
In pursuing their tactics of persuasion
rather than legal conflict, various Of
tlcers of the Scenic and Historical
Preservation Society conferred yester-
day with William F. Crell, Park Com
missioner of Manhattan. and with 9TH
ers.' Nothing much came of these talks
Would Bar Use of Meadows
Edward Hagaman Hall, secretary OF
the society, made the assertion yester.
day that he had discovered that use ol
the park for demonstration trenches
would deprive the New York public
and particularly the children, Of the
use for the meadows for about five
years.

Mr. Farr testified that Judge Crum
called him TO his chambers in Forsyth

him America would have no chance to

Food Exports to Allies
Heaviest i'm a Year
Anxiety Shown, However,
Over Shipments for
April and May
(.Staf Correspomdence1

WASHINGTON. March 21.-The last
week showed the heaviest shipments OF
pork, beef and grain to the Allies from
the United States since this country
entered the war. At the same time,
however, it was learned that there is
still anxiety concerning Che shipments
for April and May, and ths Allied and
American governments a~c giving the
profoundest study to the question AZ II
relates To the transportation Of troops.
All available tonnage is necied 1cr
the transportation OF foodstufe, ac-
eording to the Allied view, and in that
view it is held to be questionable
whether troops should be allowed TO
take tonnage that the Allies would
otherwise use in conveying foodstufis

Lower Food Cost
Urged by Woman
Markets Deputy
Profit on Perishables Is Alb
normal, Says Miss
Laura Cauble

(Bu reporter for The Tribune
Instituted
The Citizens Market Committee,
Mrs. John Leroy Manning, chairman,
had heart to heart talk at lunch
yesterday with Miss Laura Cauble, the
new Deputy Market Commissioner, at
Chiquita's old place, in West Tenth
Street.
John Dillon reiterated his charges
OF proiiteering in foods effected by
holding back supplies, even to the
point of permitting spoilage, so as not
to lower market prices. He also inti-
mated that nothing would be done to
better these conditions until the con-
sumers' interests were more activel y
represented at Albany, and that the
Women's vote was the one bright hope
that marketing and distribution con
ditions might be improved
Pushcart Market Urged
Miss Clapp, Of Kipp's Bay, spoke on
the need for pushcart market on the
East Side. space in st. Gabriel's
Park was spoken of as ideal for this
purpose. Push carts nurt the neigh
borhood If they roam about at will,
but. gathered in one place, and pre-
senting a market stall appearance, they
form great channel of cheap food
for the poor.
Miss Caubie spoke on the need for
better food at lower prices. "No
prohteerlng on the necessities for the
nome, was the slogan suggested FOR
the market committee work. Miss

recially of fish and vegetables. that

Snc believes that milk is as essential
to the public health as water, ana that
its distribution should be handled on
the same general principles.
Dried milk was earnestly discussed
as one of the partial solutions OF the
milk problem, especially among the
poor. who. Miss Cauble stated, would
be on the verge. OF revolt if thev
realized how impossible it is for then.
to get adequate nourishmcnt even
when 80 per cent Of their money goes
for food.

WASHINGTON. March 2l.-Thc aeri-
cultural appropriation bill, with the

government guaranteed wheat price
from s. to $3.50, was passed fatc to-
day by the Senate.

another fight over the wheat price
Under proclamation by the Presi-
dent. acting under the food control law
s. It now stands with the So guaran-
tee, the basic price for 1918 wheat has
been established at 500 bushcl. SEN

whea. at S25G would not increase the
price Of hour beyond S13 or S1350 a
barre, TIC price now is around S11 a
ba.rel.
Dcba:.l 1--WE Days
The wheat pr;ce amendment was
adopted, 80 to g, after Ave days dis
eussion, in which it. advocates urged
;he necessity os stimulating produc-
tion and criticised government price
fixing.
Tho bill, carrying appropriations Of
s2s,00n 600, was passed without q roll
call the principal fight being centred
or she wheat provision.
Besides increasing the financial
guarantee. the Gore amendment also
provides that the guaranteed prices
For the 1913 crop shall besbased upon

lent. instead of the No. l variety, as
under the existing. law, and shall be
payable at local elevators or railway

Another provision is that the guar

Veto Is Possible
Acceptance of the amendment by the
House IS hoped for by its champions.
But despite the overwhelming vote by
which the Senate wrote the price in
crease into the bill, Administration
leaders do not believe it could prevail
finally If, as has been reported, the
opposition OF the food administration
would cause Presidential veto.
An appropriation of 100000 for the
Congressional free seed distribution.
which had been eliminated by the Sem
ate Agricultural Committee, was re-
stored by the Senate.
Appropriations of about million
dollars were added to the bill in the
