Odell Advises Prayers
To Avert Ice Famine

Prayers for 4 rich ice harvest were
recommended yesterday by former
Governor Benjamin B. Odell as the
only means of averting an ice short
age in New York City next summer.
Governor Odell was ice controller for
the state until that Office ceased to
exist on February /.
The prayers, he said. should be sup
plications for fortnight of zero
weather He pointed out that with the
natural ice crop virtually nil to date
and with ammonia plants unable to
manufacture more than two-thirds of
the city's demands, sustained cold
snap alone can save the city from in
convenience at least next summer
CONDITIONS are unique in the his
tory OF the city" the former Governor
said yesterday. "There has been little
or no harvesting OF ice. The installa-
ton Of additional machinery would
probably entail too great an expense.

German Ships
TO Bring Home
10000 a Month
Hurley Says 100000 Tons
of Enemy Craft Will
Transport Our Fighters

German ships of 100000 gross ton
mage Will put to sea within the next
tive weeks flying the American flag and
bringing American troops home, Ed
ward N. Hurley, chairman of the United
States Shipping Board, announced YES
tcrday upon his arrival here on the
Levlathan. The troop carrying capac-
lty OF the nations transport feet will
be increased 6O,OO0 a month bv this
accession, he said.
Mr.. Hurley has been overseas since
November. He went to Europe with
Food Administrator Hoover to study
the situation as regards shipping, re-
patrlatlon of soldiers and transporta-
ton of food to the war-famshed re-
gions.
The German ships to be turned over
to the United States constitute approx
lmately half of the gross tonnage all
the Allies are to receive in accordance
with the agreement at Trevcs january
II. Subsequent details were worked
out at other conferences between rep
resentatives of the former bclligerents.
100000 Tons German Ships
"From information now at hand"
Mr. Hurley said, "it appears that the
total available German passenger ton
mage suitable for carrying troops is
over 100000 tons gross. This csti-
mate docs not include the Bismarck,
of fifty thousand tons gross. which is
not yet completed, nor the Impcrator,
sister ship Of the U.S.S. Leviathan.
which cannot be delivered for several
months. Furthermore, this total does
not include other large vessels such as
the Tirpitz, Hindenburg and Columbus.
concerning which no reports have vet
been received.
"Thc estimate is based upon listed
tonnage and upon information obtained
from German delegates and from a
commission of American engineers on
beard the scout cruiser Chester and the
United States Destroyer Aylwin. both
now at Bremen, and who since Fcbru-
90 l nave pCcu IHdhluB survey or
German steamers in German ports.
The United States share of this ton
mage should run approximately to three
hundred thousand gross tons of ship
ping suitable for the repatriation of
American troops. This should give tho
United States an additional troop car
rylng capacity Of over sixty thousand
men per month
"A number of the German ships are
ready to pat to sea at once. 1t is
planned that these shall be manned
temporarily by German officers and
crews, and shall proceed immediately
to British or French ports under tho

Investors Besiegge
McNey Offices
In Vain for Stock
Members of Firm Absent
Since Last Friday, When
Raid by Assistant District
Attorney Melted Books
By BRIGGS

For several days investors have been
besicging the Offices of J. NJ. Money. at
20 Broad Street. in an endeavor to OBJ
tain stock certificates which previously
had been promised them, but the mem
bcrs of the firm have been absent.
Last Friday the members, W. W.
Easterday, Harrison Kinnier and James
McNey, disappeared. Their disappear
ance was followed closely by raid
from the Office Of Assistant District At
torney Brogan.
The attention of the Assistant Dis
trict Attorney had been directed to Nc
Ney e. Co. by investors, who COM
planned that after sending money for
stocks the certificates had not been de-
livered and it had been impossible TO
receive any satisfaction from the firm.
The raiding party found only the books
of the company when it called at 20
Broad Street. These were taken.
w. ". Eastcrday. who is said to be
the master mind of the firm. is under
Indictment. J. NJ. McNcy &. Co. has
cone thriving business during the
last six months without any advertis-
ing. The firm had a Large "suckcr
list, formerly the property Of the firm
of w. w. Easterday, which failed
eighteen months ago.
Easterday, kinnier and Samuel c.
Wheeler were the known members OF
the firm of W. W Easterday & Co.,
with offices in New York. Cleveland.
Washington, Wilmington. Philadelphia
and Newark.
When, eighteen months ago. the
Eastcrday firm was forced into bank
ruptcy, nothing of value was found BY
the receiver At the time Of the bank
rIpt.v cc,,c,o1 Curb brokcrS oO Rroad
Street met in a basement Just below
The Curb market and held mock
wake, with figures to represent the firm
of ". w Easterday & Co. and also
James NJ. McNey. AT this time McNey
was outside broker for the firm of w.
W. Easterday &. Co.
Later, Easterday and Kinnier start
cd the firm of J. NJ. McNey G. Co. at
20 Broad Street. McNey was merely
a tigurehead in all transactions. but oc
casionally made trade on the Curb
market. Easterday was the guiding
spirit of the concern. Two weeks ago
part of the offices occupied by J. NJ
Money & Co. were vacated by that
firm. and a new firm, under the name
of W. ". Easterday. moved in and
started business.
On last Monday petition in bank
ruptcy was filed against James NJ. Me
Ney, Wiley Easterday and Frank Ryan
as individuals and as partners of the
firm of ]. N. McNey & Co. One Of
the petitioning creditors was the Red
Lion Inn, Inc with a claim of S58
This is said TO represent an unpaid
restaurant check signed by Easterday
It is said Easterday still is in this
city, but that McNey went TO Wash
ington last Saturday Nothing is
known Of the whereabouts OF Kinnier.
Recently the firm OF j. ". McNey
4 Co. has been selling shares in the
loX Chemical Company. No advertis-
ing was done with this issue, but the
firm had many statesmen on the road
dispcsing of the shares.

Hylan and Highland
MIXED by Aldermen,

THE reading clerk of the Board
d of Aldermen unconsciously
created Il near sensation at yes
terday's meeting of the Beard.
He read:
Report of the Committee on
Public Thoroughfares recommend
ing the adoption of resolution
changing the name Of President
Street, Brooklyn, to 'Hylan
Place. '"
In a flash all the members of
the board, including the Demo
Gratis, were at attention.
Am ! to understand" asked
one of the Republican members,
that the name of our Mayor is
to be appended to one of Brook
lyn's streets?'
No, sir" replied the clerk, and
the sudden interest that had be-
come attached to the matter van
ished promptly. "The proposed
name is Highland Place. MI. AL
derman," the clerk continued
The interest in the resolution
had by that time become so nulli-
fed that the report was laid over
for consideration at next weeks
meeting.
