Mayor Advises Day
Not To Be Fooled
By Food Profteers
Commissioner of Markets
Resents Letter From Hy-
Ian; Deputy Plans Pur-
chase of Navy Supplies

Mayor Hylan wrote yesterday to DR..
Jonathan c. Day, Commissioner of Pub
lie Markets, and told him not to let
himself be influenced into helping any
body's profiteering schemes. The Mayor
explained that he referred to DR.. Days
attempt to handle 100000 pounds of
Swift & Co.'S bacon when the army
had 100000 Of the same commodity
available for much lower price.
DR.. Day lost no time in expressing
his resentment over the Mayors letter
which said:
"My attention has been called to q
circular letter issued by you toNvarious
political clubs throughout the city, re.
questing that bacon be placed on sale,
the property Of Swift g. Co., at prices
far in excess Of those offered by the
government to the people.
"The purpose for which the Office of
Commissioner Of Public Markets was
created was that the people might
receive some relief from proGteers and
from those who indulge in making large
fortunes at the expense Of the poor
people of this city.
"Do not permit outside people 10 use
their influence with you in their efforts
to extort from the people at excess
price for foodstuffs. I refer to Swift
e. Co. and the other big packers, who
practically control the foodstufs IN tn
United States and are responsible to d
great extent for the present high cost
Of the necessities of life
In answering the Mayors letter DR.
Day again traced the chain Of incidents
which caused him to obtain the SER
vices Of NJ. J. O'Connor to purchase the
bacon from Swift &; Co. His letter
continued:
"Now, your Honor, may ! say that
think my record up 10 date ought to
convince you that there is no linking
of my department in any conscious
measure with any group Of profteers
You say in your last paragraph of your
letter to me, DO not permit outside
people to use their influence with you
in their efforts to extort from the pco-
pie al excess price tor foodstuffs.'
kcenly resent any intimation that
have been influenced by pressure from

to my knowledge, they were available

Alderman Quinn, Who Want.
ed Brokers to Pay Fee,
Heard Attempt to Upset
Hylan Veto Was Useless
Mayor Is Upheld, 20 to 3
Original Ordinance Got
Unanimous Vote, but
Hylan Causes Reversal

Charges of fixing" were made at
yesterdays meeting of the Board of
Aldermen during a debate on the
Mayors veto of the ordinance plac-
ing curb brokers under the jurisdic-
ton of the Commissioner of Licences
posed an annual license fee of $500
on the curb men, was unanimously
adopted last summer by the board
after conferences between District At
torncy Swami and others who have
been investigating the methods Of the
curb brokers. Mayor Hylan vetoed
tie measure after a conference with
delegation of curb brokers.
When Alderman William F. Quinn,
the introduccr of the original ord-
nance, moved that the Mayors veto
be overriddcn, he said:
"Friends Of ..;:na anon. the cucb
t~'okers have told ne that it was ar;
flzH| and that it WA uselesr for me
to atto.npt TO put through th,s rcso-
luton. % you want it 70 bt said
that you tave been fixed 20
The Tam.nary Aldermen, however,
did not record single vote in favor
of overriding the Mayors veto and
none Of them made reply to Quinns
charges. Some Of them refraincd from
voting. Twenty voted against over
riding the veto. The Socialists re-
conor we're the only Republicans be-
sides Quinn IN the chamber at the time
These three were the only Affirmative
votes CAST.
Quinfl read the report Of the Com
Inittcc on General Welfare of the board
Which had urged the adoption oi the
Original ordinance. III this report it
was stated that grea. number OF
complaints had been made by citizens
against curb brokers. He then quoted
the Mayors veto message, which had
been characterized by Robert l.. Moran.
President Of the Board Of Aldermen, as
Z series of misstatements
"The only opposition to this ordin-
ance," Moran had written %, Hylan,
was from the curb brokers. and if
your veto is permitted to stand, these
disreputablc brokers can continue do
ing business"
Quinn, after quoting Moran, who is
at the Lincoln Hospital, where he was
operated on for appe ndictis, continued:
Down in Broad Street, where the
curb market is, there are about 5000
men who are making fortunes out of
the residents of the City of New York
without paying cent TO the city for
the streets they are using, and more
than four-ffth Of these men live in
Jersey, Connecticut and Long Island.
"lf this ordinance is passed over the
Mayors veto it will bring in between
$500, 900 and S1,oo0,o00 annually. This
means reduction of one point in the
tax rate.
Yet the Mayor takes it upon himself
10 veto this ordinance witho giving
any reason whatsoever. His objections
were groundlcss The day before he
vetoed this ordinance he was visited
here At the City Hall by q delegation
o. curb brokers, The Mayor entertained d
them for an hour and a half

Ship on Reef 20 Years
Arrives Here With Cargo
British Vessel Andrina Salvaged
and Made Seaworthy by
the Chileans

The four-masted British ship An
drina, whose oak rib had seasoned for
twenty years on reef in the Straits
Of Q Magellan; came to port yesteraAy
Tying the Chilean flag. She had been
dead to the shipping world since she
piled up on the rocks at the tail-end
OF South America in 1a99 and if the
submarine had not reduced the worlds
tonnage she would probably have re-
manned there.
The Andrina was built on the Clvde
at time when sailing craft we're
fashioned for endurance. and the new
lease of life given her by Chilean
shipwrghts will keep her on the seven
seas for perhaps a half century. An
officer of the Chilean navy nearly a
year ago suggested to his government
that the Andrina be hauled off the
reef and retitted, and this was expe-
ditiously done.
Her master said yesterday that she
required little rebuilding and had
proved money maker for the nation
that resurrected her. Renamed the
Alejandrina, she was put into service
and brought yesterday a cargo of wool
from Punta Arenas.
