TENANTS MAY STAY
ON NEW PARK SITE
Hylan Tells Harmon to Let
Them Live in Peace.

Controller Craig declared at the meet
Ing OF the Sinking Fund Commission
yesterday that II would be little short
OF a public scandal to force the families
now occupying apartments in houses ac-
quired for public park and playground
In Brooklyn to move, In view of the
shortage of housing facilities at this
time. Park Commissioner Harmon OF
Brooklyn had asked for permission to
remove the houses on the property
bounded by johnson avenue, Leonard,
Lorimer and Boerum streets.
Mayor Hylan hotly defended his COM
missioner from a charge Of wishing to
deprive poor people OF their homes I'VE
all know there are human beings there"
he declared. "a,o I know It never has
been the intention of the Commissioner
to throw them into the street" The
matter was finally laid over and after
more thought the Mayor made public a
letter TO the Commissioner in which he
said:
II do not know whether made plain
my attitude at the hearing OF the Sink
ing Fund Commission on the question
OF dispossessing the tenants on the new
park site in the Eastern District section
of Brooklyn. 1t will be impossible to
have the buildings razed and the park
site SO cleared UP that the people can en-
Joy the benefit OF park this summer.
do not bother the tenants as ! am
satisfied that 1t would be a hardship
upon them and II would be impossible
for them to find suitable places TO move
In during the hot weather"
The Commissioner had said at the
meeting that the houses were In ram
shackle condition and the tenants. he
was sure, could secure other quarters in
the vicinity at only slightly higher rates
than they were paying the city.
The question OF keeping for housing
purposes the buildings that the Navy De-
partment Is about to abandon at the old
Pelham Bay Training Station In Pelham
bay Park was discussed at the meeting
o, the Sinking Fund. The Controller said
he doubted whether the Police, Fire,
Tenement House and Health Depart
ments would be willing to have the
buildings used. Park Commissioner Hen
messy will confer with Rear Admiral
Glennon on the disposition OF the struc-
lures.

NORTH SEA MINES
IMPERIL STEAMSHIP
Liner United States by Rapid
Steering Escapes One by
Fifteen Feet.

Quick action and a sharp turn OF the
wheel saved the Scandinavian-Amer
liner United States from striking a mine
in the North Sea, according to stories
told yesterday when the vessel locked at
Hoboken.
Two mines were sighted May 90, when
the ship was one day out OF Copenha-
gen, but rapid steering prevented a dis
aster. The boat missed one of the mines
by fifteen feet
The high cost Of living in this country
has no terrors for those who have been
accustomed to the Scandinavian sched-
ule, aoeeSding to Murray Sayre, Vice
Consul at Stockholm, who returned with
his wife and flve-year-old daughter, Eliz-
abeth. Butter, for instance, Is from 50
to 81 pound. he said.
The Scandinavian countries are abso-
lutely resolved not to blockade Germany
II the latter refuses to sign the peace
treaty, Mr.. Sayre said. The Govern
ment officers feel that their countries
have suffered enough through the war
and that II the Allies want to blockade
Germany they must do IL without fore
ing hardship on other neutral countries.
Others on board were Max Ornstein,

PLAN BROAD JEWISH RELIEF.
Credits to Sufferers Abroad Ia
Policy Suggested.

A policy OF Jewish relief to care for
the destitute OF that race in all parts OF
Europe was advanced yesterday by Nor
ris Engelman. special commissioner for
the Joint Distribution Committee OF
America in a report to Felix NJ, War
burg. He recommended that the Jews
of America advance food and clothing
credits. to be repaid as the communities
In Europe become self-supporting. He
drew the line on any more shipments of
cast off clothing, stating that I'm the
main the population affected is self
respecting. Salvaged goods might. how
ever, be bought from the War Depart
ment, he suggested. and probably would
be found acceptable.
Mr.. Engelman said the need OF COM
munication between the variousl colonies
of Jewish refugees was imperative for
the reunion of friends and families and
to locate relatives of sufferers in this
country who might lend personal aid.
He also proposed a conference TO be held
In this city to consider the problem of
Jewish relief in a larger way.
