Court Accuses Police
Of Field Day Extortion
Inquiry Threatened of Charge
Auto Drivers Are COerced
to Ruy Tickets

Magistrate Frederick B. House in
Traffic Court yesterday criticised po-
licemen who attempt to force aurorno-
blists to purchase tickets for the Po-
lice Field Days and threatened that if
another case came to his attention he
would order an investigation. The mag
istrate made the announcement follow
ing the arraignment of Percy Gold
smith, taxi chauffeur, who pleaded
guilty to failing to keep to the right
for few feet.
"Why did you serve this summons,
officer?" asked the magistrate.
"He told me he would FIX me, your
honor"
When the defendant had explained
that heswas summonsed because he had
declined to buy Field Day tickets and
that he had said nothing about fixing
the magistrate permitted him to with
draw his plea of guilty
81 want this known, and l want to
say it as plainly as know how" said
Magistrate House. 81 will dismiss
every complaint that comes before me
where l am satisfied that it was for a
minor violation and was served because
of the defendants refusal to purchase
tickets"
Magistrate House also gave notice
that he would use his power to revoke
hack licenses unless the "closed taxi
stand" evil is stopped. A number of re-
turned soldiers, working as chauffeurs
have complained that they are not per-
mitted to get in line at the "closed'
stands unless they pay tribute. Sew

in the Senate bill which would make
the government responsible for the
payment of judgments arising prior to
Federal control. Any such debt is the
debt of the railroad and not the debt
of the government, and to make the
government liable for their payment is
unjust tb the government, to the peo-
pie, and is not necessary for the pro-
lection of the reasonable interests of
the judgment creditors.
ut is an incorrect theory, moreover,
to say that the judgment creditors are
without recourse, except to the govern
ment. Nearly every railroad owes to
the government more money than the
government owes to the railroads, and
the Judgment creditors can collect from
the railroads. Every railroad COM
pany has general funds and other as
sets not controlled by the government.
LAS to judgments obtained against
the railroad administration during gov
ernment control, they will be paid. We
regard such judgments as obligations
of the government and are paying them
regularly without question.
"My suggestion is that if there is
any fear of the power Of the President
it can be removed by inserting an ex-
press provision that the Presidents
orders must be consistent with the
Federal contro.. act The President
has the power only to make orders in
line with the purposes of the act"

Allies to Demand

Germans Regarding Ac-
tions in Poland, Revealed
by Intercepted Telegram

PARIS, June 25.-The council de-
cided this afternoon to send two notes
to the president Of the German peace
delegation at Versailles, one regarding
the actions of the Germans in Poland,
in connection with a significant tele-
gram intercepted by the Poles, and the
other relative to the sinking of the
German fleet in the Scapa Flow.
The Allies announce that they will
demand reparation for the sinking of
the feet.
1t was owing to the insistence of
France that the German war fleet was
interned rather than surrendered
as a condition of the armistice,
Reuters. The French, the news agency
says, We're SO anxious that the armis-
tice should be concluded that they sue
cessfully opposed the British demand
for the surrender of the ships, believ-
ing that such a course would cause un-
necessary delay. In this they were
supported by Admiral Benson, the
Anne erican naval representative. Reuters
to-day issued the following statement,
which, it said, might be considered Of
fetal:
AL Lne Time OIL Lne signing OF the
armistice the British Admiralty and the
British government strongly urged that
the German ships should be surren-
dered. The French military authori-
ties, however, put forward the view that
for the purpose Of the armistice the
surrender of the German ships was not
absolutely essential. They were most
concluded. Insstence upon surrender
of the fleet, they felt, might delay the
signing, for which, despite rumors to
the contrary, Marshal Foch was as de-
sirous as any one.
"The French therefore suggested
that the German ships be interned in
neutral ports. This view was supported
by Admiral Benson.
ultimately a compromise was
reached providing for internment in q
British port"
1t was denied officially in a high
American quarter to-day that there was
any truth in an intim#ion made in the
British House of Commons yesterday
by Horatio Bottomley, Independent
member from South Hackney and editor
of "John Bull" respecting the disposi
tion of the German fleet. Mr.. Bottom
ley's intmation was that Presiden
Wilson had overruled the plea of Pre-
mier Lloyd George that the German
ships should be surrendered instead O.
interned.

Jersey Tunnel Bill
Passed by House;
Law When Signed
Action of Senator Edge in
Rushing Law Through a
Surprise to New Workers
Who Had Sought Delay
Netc York Tribune
Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Full con-
sent of Congress to the construction of
traffic tunnel under the Hudson River
between Jersey City and New York
was granted to-day when the House
passed the Edge bill, previously passed
by the Senate, without record vote.
An agreement has already been en-
tered into between the states of New
York and New Jersey for the construc-
ton, operation, repair and maintenance
of the proposed tunnel. The favorable
action of Congress allows this agree
ment to become effective as soon as the
bill is signed by the President
Representative Siegel, of New York,
told the House the two states wished to
begin work on the tunnel at once. One
amendment to the bill was adopted by
the House. 1t expressly reserves "the
right to alter, emend or repeal this
act" at any time in the future.
Permission Of the War Department
for construction. of the tunnel already
has been secured. Secretary Baker in
formed the Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Commission, which had the
bill under its jurisdiction, that the War
Departm permit called for a tunnel
running from Canal Street, New York,
to Thirteenth Street, Jersey City. The
work must be completed by December
81, 1921.
Ready to Begin Work
The tunnel will cost between $4,000
900 and $15,OO0,O0 Representative
Remsey, of New Jersey, told the House.
One million dollars already has been
states to begin work. New jerseys ap-
preparation was made, he said, out of
the states surplus funds and no bond
issue will be required to inaugurate
the project.
1T is proposed to operate the tunnel
on toll basis, and it is expected that
by the end of twenty years the tunnel
will have paid for itself and can then
be made free to public use," Mr.. Ram
sey said. "The contracts are now
ready and could the President sign the
bill before that date work could be
started on July L."
Paul Windels, attorney for the New
York tunnel companies, told the joint
tunnel conference for the erection of q
vehicular tunnel between New York and
New Jersey under the Hudson River
that he had asked two members of the
House Of Representatives from New
York to keep. the Edge tunnel bill in
committee. Mr.. Wlndels named Repre-
sentatives MacCrate and La Guardia.
Mr.. Windels said he expressed the
views of the New York commission
when he said that Senator Edge was in
effect "going over the New York com.
missions head" in pushing his bill.
Edges Action a Surprise
Emerson L. Richards, counsel fo,
the New Jersey Commission, said the
members from New Jersey had not
known of Senator Edges intention, and
that he was surprised to find that the
bill had been introduced on the first

Guard on German Fleet

LONDON, June 25.-Speaking in the
House of Commons to-day on the sub
ject of reparation for the sinking of
the German warships, Walter Hume
Long, First Lord of the Admiralty, said
the Allied representatives in Paris had
this under consideration. The statement
that the crews were changed periodical
ly was not correct, he declared, but in
valids were exchanged. The total guard
and maintenance party had been re-
duced from 4,70O to about 1900.
Mr.. Long explained that it was i'm
possible for the Admiralty to take pre-
cautions to prevent the sinking, be-
cause the ships were interned, not sur
rendered. Therefore, the Admiralty
had no power to place guards on them.
The First Lord denied that the Ad-
miralty had recommended internmcnt,
phasizing the point that the decision
of the Allied heads for internment con-
trolled the situation and made preven-
ton of the scuttling utterly impossi-
