Man in knickerbocker Hos
pital Charged With
Attempted Burglary

man proving in the darkness on
the roofs of houses in Eighty-fo fourth
Street, near Columbus Avenue, was
shot and severity wounded by patrol
man last night. He said he was John
Reynolds, of 110 Tenth Avenue. He
was taken to knickerbocker Hospital,
where he is a prisoner, charged with
attempted burglary
Late in the evening some one at lis
West Eighty fourth Street telephoned
the West Sixty-eighth Street police
station that man had been seen on
the roof. The alarm was flashed to
the post of the nearest patrolmen by
means of the signal box system and
within u few minutes half a dozen had
gathered to join in the hunt.
One Of the roof hunters was Patrol
man James Mahoney. He had taken
the eastern end of the block and started
his search on the roof of 1O1 West
Eighty-fourth Street.
The street lights were SO close to
the building line and the structures
themselves so tall that the only light
for hunters or hunted was the dim
radiance reflected by the sky from the
city lights,
Mahoney crawled on his knees and
one hand In his right hand he held
his revolver. From scuttle 30 clothes
pole. thence to the shadow Of ven
tilator shaft he worked his way. his
eyes alert for any hostile silhouette.
The patrolman reached the coping at
the rear of the apartment A man was
chselling at a window sill from the
platform of IRE escape at the top
floor. Mahoney heard mans voice
in the apartment. 1t was Herman Wer
ner. who had heard the man at his
window.
The man on the fire escape needed
the warning voice; the stealthy chisel
ling stopped. The iron ladder of the
fire escape vibrated and Mahoney knew
that the mans head would appear
above the coping. He lcvelled his re
volver. Presently it was there.
Come over with your hands up!'
called the policeman curtly.
In reply came the bark of a revolver
and bullet sent Mahoney's cap spin
ming. He fired. There was a scream
a brief and violent vibration Of the FIRE
escape and the sound Of heavy fall
from the courtyard. There they found
Reynolds. Mahoney's bullet had pcnc-
trated his abdomen.

He Goes Further Than
Swami, Hinting~at lndict-
ment of Commissioners

Mayer Hylan yesterday went step
further than District Attorney Swami,
who in recent letter to the Public
Service Commission offered to CO.
operate in prosecuting individual of
hcers of street and subway traction
pective orders OF the commission to
afford the public more adequate ser
vice. The Mayor in letter to the Dis
trict Attorney suggested that if the
Public Service Commission failed to d.
rect the traction companies to furnish
proper service the grand jury might
we'll consider "such neglect OF duty on
the commissions part.
81 am grati6ed," wrote the Mayor,
"and know the people of this city will
uphold you in the presentation of the
facts to the grand jury against those
who are responsible for violating any
order of the Public Service Commission
II regard to curtailing the number of
cars or train service IN this city
The service rendered by the transit
corporations to the people is deplor-
able. The curtaiiment of service needs
official action. if the Public Service
Commission does not direct proper ser
vice by the transit lines in the city
the grand jury might well consider
such neglect of duty"
District Attorney Swami said yester-
day that he had not received reply to
the letter he sent to Chairman Charles
Bulkley Hubbell of the Public Service
Commission. The District Attorney
added that, for the last three weeks,
stationed along a." subway and sur
face car lines, checking UP the number
of cars in service, with the result that
he had accumulated mass of evidence
to present to the grand jury, if this
should become necessary. He was anx-
ious to cooperate with the Public Ser
vice Commission, he asserted, and was
acting without any prejudice toward
the traction companies. He was mere
ly doing his duty by the public
Chairman Hubbell issued statement
the District Attorney, declaring that
the commission probably would issue
an order against the traction companies
within a few days.
"The commission, about the middle
of August, started a hearing" said
Chairman Hubbell. ''looking to the max
ing for the subway, elevated and sur
face lines in Manhattan of a service
order such as was put in force with
favorable results in Brooklyn early in
the summer. While |, of course. can
not anticipate the action of the com
mission, think it may be said to be
probable that an order along the in
tended lines Will be made within a few
days"

Recommendations from official sources
III this state, as we'll as in Massachu-
setts. Rhode Island and Connecticut,
have been sent to Washington relating
TO the taxation of cars already in users
hands, according to the new revenue
measure. on a basis of horsepower
alone. AS the measure is now set the
tax IS to be on cars OF % horsepower
or less. SO; % to 80 horsepower. $40:
81 TO AZ horsepower, $50 and more than
40 horsepower. $50 This horsepower
IS to be figured on what is known as
the ;. A. r. formula, which is: Square
the bore. multiply by the number Of
cylinders and divide by 25
There is proper objection to the
working of this formula, because it
does not teke into account the stroke
OF the engine, which makes all the diff
terence IN the world as far as devel-
oped horsepower is concerned. lnas-
much as the tax will affect every one
oi the more than 100000 motor cars
AoW IN use in the United States. it is
obvious that it should be arranged for
on proper and just basis at the be-
ginning, so that each may be taxed
alike.
An official of the State of Connecti-
cut expresses this opinion on the
horsepower taxation system: "This is
lneQultable and discriminatory because
II taxes a car ten years old on the
same basis as one new from the fac
tory. For example. built-over Pierce
Arrow which is now a truck and is per
haps worth on the second hand market
SaO0 or $500 will be taxed at the same
rate and for the same amount as a
lew pleasure vehicle of the. same type
and horsepower" But he does not con
tent himself with merely criticising.
He offers these suggestions:
The proper basis for tax is a
basis of true value, which takes de-
probation INTO account Such true
basis OF valuation can be had from
either one or two sources:
Flrst--lnsurance companies have
schedules for insurabe value which
take depreciation into account Those
schedules are very liberal and can be
"dopted IN toto except that minimum
would need to be provided Such
schedules consider all facts relating
TO the ownership of the car, and the
government would receive, in my opin-
ION. NOR. money by taxing on such a
oasis as this than upon the horsepower
basis.
"Second-Schedules of prices of sec
ond-hand cars are used in connection
with the secondhand car market and
are so we'll prepared that they would
do for a basis.
81 favor the insurance schedules
simply because they are much more
LIBERAL and prepared by people who
understand the art Of figures thor
oughly."
Or "gasless Sunday" a number Of
cars were observed on upper Broadway
hy George S. McCutchen which bore
signs; Running on kerosene OIL
Once started on gasolene. the average
internal combustion engine will op-
crate reasonably we'll on kerosene
without much adjustment of carbu-
reter, if any. This is a hint for those
who'd like to ride and still want to be
patriotic. | suppose il too many per-
sons get to using this fuel it will be
necessary to regulate its use. But
there has been something like a whole
sale wastage of kerosene for years, as
there hasn't been the market to absorb
he output.

Play Of Caddies

The final match in the caddies' tour
nament at Forest Park between Henry
Fecht and Victor McVcy attracted con-
siderable attention and carried large
gallery of admirng caddies.
1t was nip and tuck contest from
start to finish. the boys making the
holes in from four to six strokes, which
is about as good as the majority of the
amateurs do, and both completing the
round in the nineties.
They were all square at the egh-
teenth green. Fecht winning on the
extra nineteenth hole.
The Jamaica Country Club has a
sporty nine-hole course on the out
skirts Of the town, where the visiting
golfers can enjoy round or two with
plenty of variety. The fourth fifth
and ninth holes are all one shotcrs,
but 1t is only the most accurate play
ers who reach and hold these green's in
one shot.
The club has ample property for a
full eighteen-holc course. but the sec
ond nine holes will not be laid out till
after the war is over.

Walker, Despite Wounds,
Is Victor in Two Races

Very rarely does it happen that a
sprinter after staying out of the game
for any length Of time finds himself
capable Of showing anything of his
original form when he returns to the
path. A remarkable exception to the
rule occurred recently in England
when II. +. Walker, the South African
sprinter and Olympic champion, com
peted in the 100 and 220 yards at q
military meet in Woking
1t is exactly ten years slnce Walker
did any active campaigning on the
cinders, yet he managed to win both
races in excellent style from smart
field Of youngsters. His time for the
century" was 10 80 seconds and for
the furlong % 40 seconds. Walker
spent two years with the English army
on the Western front and was wounded
twice. and the fact that he could run
at all has puzzled the military experts
and the medical sharps Of the War
Department.

Waste, Not Crime,
Was Fault at Hog
Island, Report Says
u. S. Investigators Find No
Cause for Criminal
Proceedings

WASHINGTON. Sept. 6.-Contract-
ors and sub contractors who built the
Hog Island lPenn.) shipyard are
charged with extravaganza during the
early days of the work in a report now
in the hands Of Attorney General
Gregory. The report will be trans
mitted to President Wilson soon.
1t was said to-day, however. that in
vestigation of the project, conducted
for the last seven months by G. Car
roll Todd, assistant to the Attorney
General. and Mark Hyman, n Depart
ment of Justice attorney, at the direc
tion OF President Wilson. failed to
show grounds for criminal prosecu
ton.
The Investigators charge that agents
of the American International Corpora
ton, which built the enormous plant
for the government, in placing orders
for materials permitted the charging
OF eXorbitant prices, which in turn
were passed on to the government.
Wages at first were on higher scale
than elsewhere in the industrial dis
trict, the report says. and many ship
yard experts were hired al salaries,
which in some eases appeared more
, than commensurate with the ability of
the men.
Profit for ub-Letting
The Investigators reported that some
firms obtaining contracts for materials
for the yard sub-let these at sub
stantial margins and, in some cases,
the sub-letting transaction occurred
more than once on a single order.
Despite alleged extravagances, De
partment of Justice agents reported
that the construction of the plant
moved forward with fair speed and
! that certain delays seemed unavoid
able. Even with high wages it was
difficult to get laborers, and railroad
transportation to the plant at times
was wholly inadequate, especially in
last December and January
High Prices Necessary to Speed
Testimony of officers in charge Of
construction is cited in the report to
the effect that it was necessary to pay
abnormally high prices for some ma
terlals for Immediate delivery. Con
tractors argued that this was more
economical in the end than to risk
holding up other features of the great
building programme.
The Department OF Justice investi-
gators supported this attitude in many
instances and reported that the prac-
tce mad been sanctioned by agents Of
the Shipping Board as a war measure
