Mr.. Bennett in his letter said he
would like to have La Guardia meet him
on the platform to debate the issues,
saying: :.
"The time has gone by when the Re-
publicans can be asked to shut their
eyes and nominate as their candidate

will undoubtedly be brought into the
campaign. My opponent, Mr. La Guar

ratification of the league of nations

that this league of nations covenant

Staten Island Politics
Is Taken Into Court
Assemblyn1en A Curley's Com
ments on Judge Y'iernan
Subject of Proceeding

The statements attributed to Assem-
blyman Thomas T. Curley. of Staten
Island, regarding the power of County
Judge j. Harry Tiernan in Democratic
councils in that borough yesterday were
made the basis Of John Doe proce ed =
ing before Magistrate William T. Croak
in the New Brighton Courthouse.
Curley asked for delay. asserting that
he wanted to employ counsel. This
was objected to by Judge Tiernan. Dis
trict Attorney Albert E. Each, whose
persistence in refusing to continue
longer in the Office, occasioned the po-
litical row, urged Judge Tiernan not to
press his objections, so an adjourn
ment was ordered until Monday.
Curley is alleged to have said that
Judge Tiernan "controlled Democratic
politics in Richmond Borough,' and
that he "forced the designation of Jo-
seph Maloy (Curley's successful op-
ponent) for District Attorney.'
eff these charges against me are
true as published" said Judge Tiernan.
then ! am not fit to be allowed to re-
main in Staten Island. If they were
true would go to jail. 50 it is NV duty
to have the matter thoroughly thrashcd
out"
The proceedings before Magistrate
Croak are to determine if crime has
been committed

Santos-DumOnt Predicts
So. American Air Lines
Declares Aviation Will Take
Place of Expensive Rail-
roads i'm Near Future

Alberto Santos -Dumont, the Brazilian
inventor, and the first man successfully y
to fly a dirigibe airship, declared yes
terday that the future development of
South America rested upon aeronautics.
He is in this country to make his re-
port to the Aero Club of America as
chairman of the clubs committee on
an-American aerOnautics.
"Only one who is familiar with the
economic and sociologic problems of
South and Central American nations
can realize what aerial transportation
will mean to thell," he said. "Only
they can understand the tremendous
commercial development that will fol
low as result Of the application of
aircraft to transportation.
building railroads would cost be-
tween 100000 and 100000 a mile, and
would take years. The subsequent cost
of upkeep and maintenance would far
exceed the prospective income from
countries Of such sparse population.
On the other hand, the sum of 100000
would establish an aerial line of at
least 500 miles or more where rivers or
lakes can be used as landing places"
