Appoints Committee to In
vestigate Conditions at
Staten Island Reducer
May Order 1t Closed
Will Take Drastic Action
Unless Offensive Odors
Can Be Eliminated

Mayor Hylan yesterday appointed a
special committee consisting of the
Corporation Counsel the Street Clean
ing Commissioner and the secretary Of
the Board of Health to make survey
Of the city garbage plant on Staten
Island and report to him. This action
was the result of a conference with a
committee of the grand jury of Rich
mond County, headed by District At
torney Albert c. Fachs, who protested
to the Mayor that the plant had be-
come public nuisance and should be
abated.
The s2,OOo,oo0 plant was constructed
during the Mitchell administration. The
with the Metropolitan By-Products
Company, which reduces the garbage to
obtain oils, glycerine and other ex-
tracts. The residents of Staten Island
protested against the plant being
located on Lake Island, and ever since
have complained about the odors aris-
ing from it.
Asked People to Be Patient
Recently the Federal government re-
quested the residents of Staten Island
to be patient, as so per cent of the
glycerine used in the manufacture of
munitions comes from the plant. The
Richmond County Grand Jury, which
investigated the plant, gave the reduc-
tion company sixty days in which to
make improvements that would elimi-
nate the Objectionable odors. The
Mayor assured the committee yester-
day that if present conditions could
not be remedied in any other way, he
would take steps to have the contract
between the city and the company re-
voked. In that case it is thought likely
that the government will take over the
plant and operate it for the glycerine
products.
Mayor Showed Sympathy
District Attorney Fachs, in comment
ing on the Mayors move, said:
I'VE are immensely pleased with our
reception by Mayor Hylan. He treated
US with the greatest consideration and
showed his sympathy with the residents
of Staten Island who have suffered as
the result of the establishment of the
garbage reducing plant
"The Mayo- told us that he would
exert every power at his command to
bring, about immediate relief. If
remedying the present conditions could
not be brought about in any other
way, the Mayor assured us that he
would take steps to have the contract
/ between the city and the company re-
voked and the plant dismantled But
| before dismantling the plant the
Mayor thought that the city ought to
have an opportunity to operate it,"

beran. and that De Valera was re-
minded that the two months would not
be up until the end Of May.
Ronald McNeill, unionist, interrupt. lh
ing the speaker. asked: HAS the
writer been shot"
mo" replied Mr.. Short, "and unless
we are forced by those who call them
selves intcrned PERSONS we have no de-
sire for any more executions. III we
can protect the country and insure the
safety Of the realm without any more
executions we want to do so. Ii 1T is
otherwise the responsibility will be
unon those who force it and not upon
U.S."
The result of this anti-conscriptio
movement. Mr.. Shortt seid, was re
crudcscence Of drilling, sedltloua
speaking, outrages and m'dnlgnt raios
for arms. When he and Viscount
Frcnch went to Ireland, he added, they
came to the conclusion that as n prelim
mary to any form of conscripton 1T
was essential that Ireland should be
given the opportunity of coming tor-
ward voluntarily to take it's part IN
the war, and the Cabinet had adopted
that view.
"The government Mr.. Shortt con-
tinucd. "is determined to put down
disorder There is no democrat who
prosecuted and ruined for thelr poiIt-
ical opinions. and the government does
not intend to allow it.
Mr.. Shortt said that men Of ali polit-
cal parties and religions had come for
ward to assist in recruiting instancine
one man who had signed the anti:
conscription declaration and Colonel
Arthur Lynch, who fought against the
British in the South African war.
In moving the adjournment of the
House of Commons to permit of the de-
said that when the Premier explained
early in April the policy of the govern
ment, namely, to deal with home rule
and compulsory military service fol
Ireland, there was every appearance
that both these plans could be carried
to a satisfactory conclusion.
The Irish convention had concluded
its labors, which offered unique op.
portunity TO settle the Irish question
He did not believe the labors OF the
convention were dead, but only nelc
in allegiance. and he hoped within a
short time that the work that had been
done in the convention would make
itself felt.
Sir Edward Carson. the Ulster leader,
said that if the Premier believed he
was justified, in order to carry on the
war; in trying to bribe Ireland into
conscription, thereby incurring a grave
political risk, breaking party truce
and shattering the foundations of the
Unionist party, he ought. in taking this
desperate course, at least to have de-
termined to go right through with it.
"The Roman Catholic hierarchy" he
said, "has gone to lengths in opposing
conscription which no civilized modern
community ought to tolerate for mo-
ment. If you have to endure all this
indgnity and humiliation, you are
crawling upon your knees to particu-
lar Church.
Former Premier Asquith again ap-
pealed to the government to refer the
Irish question to the Dominions Con-
ference

large amount Of ammunition was load
ed into a German submarine, and that
moreover, submarines had been seen in
shipping could not have been their OBJ
ject.
But Few Knew of II
Mr.. Short said that since the
Premier had announced the govern
ment's policy with regard to Ireland
circumstances had entirely changed
there being two main causes for the
altered conditions. The first and most
farreaching. cause, he said, was, the
discovery of q German plot in Ireland
which he hoped he would be able to
satisfy the House was real and immi,
nent danger to the country. In addi-
ton, there was the fuct that the feel
ing in Ireland against conscription, and
the movement which necessarily fol
lowed that feeling, Lad been used by
the extremists in a physical movement
in conjunction with the German plot.
The speaker said he did not for 8
moment say that any substantial pro-
portion of those in Ireland who were
opposed to conscription had any knowl-
edge that they were being used to fur
ther German plot.
Mr.. Short said that Sim Feiners
had been captured in the anti-conscrip-
ton movement. 1t had been declared
that the German conspiracy was a bo-
gus plot intended to injure Ireland, but
he regretted to say that there was no
need for invention, for the plot was q
fact.
When he and Viscount French went
to Ireland, Mr.. Short continued, they
found the temperance of seditious
propaganda, in the form Of poems
pamphlets and notices posted on the
German force that might land in the
country.
"Any straw and fodder taken by the
German army" Mr.. Short said one of
these posters read, "will be paid for by
Germany"
Mr.. Shortt quoted excerpts from
many speeches that had been delivered
urging illegal drillings for the purpose
of assisting Germany, and said the
sources of information upon which the
government relied to show German in
trigue existed both in Ireland and out
side had always proved true when
tested by subsequent events.
He said he had traced the activity
and asserted that at the beginning OF
the war pamphlet entitled Ireland
Germany and the Freedom of the Seas
had been in circulation in Ireland. II
bore evidence of being German printed
and for the last three months had
begun to reappear in Ireland.
1t was here, the speaker said, the
government had found Germany was
in touch with Ireland and made refer
ence to the collapsible boat in which
the prisoner in the tower had landed.
1t was very peculiar coincidence
Mr.. Short continued, that upon Pro.
fessor Edward De Valera, member O,
Parliament for East Glare and prom,
inent Sim Feiner. was found the text
OF letter written to him by anothe,
interned man which made allusion t.
something which was going to happen
two months after the German offensive

yesterday overcame the last handicap
of his German birth by obtaining per-
mission from Justice Pendleton, in the
Supreme Court, to assume the name of
Smith.
The name Schmidt was the only re-
naming thing German about the petit
toner, and that, too, had become dis
tasteful to him. A veteran of several
Indian campaigns, in which he served
with the United States cavalry, Smith
has two sons in the United States Avia-
tion Corps and has two other sons
waiting to be called. He was honor
ably discharged in 1874. He came here
fifty years ago from Germany and long
ago renounced his allegiance to the

If people past sixty years of age

especially if they take Chamber
