members, ten of whom are women.
Calvin D. Van Name, Borough Presi-

speaker. He declared the opportunity
was never so good for Staten island
to get a subway.
1t was practically the unanimous
opinion of the meeting that the IDEAL
route would be direct from the Bat

Usually when the government begins
to pay his insurance to his family a
soldier is unmstakably dead. There is
hardly forlorn hope then. And vet
the War Risk Insurance Bureau sent
insurance checks to the mother of
William +. Lynch, soldier of 46S

the Y. M. c. A. checking system, that
the man reported dead on the field of
battle was alive and a prisoner in a
German pen. This was one instance
in which the Y. NJ. C. A. system proved
superior to that OF the War Depart
mcnt and the Bureau of War Risk In
surance combined.
Lynch, member of Company /, 30sth
Infantry, was officially reported killed
in action last summer. His mother
was SO notified, and after the CUSTOM
ary Investigation the War Risk Insur-
ance Bureau began payment of his in
surance.
Then Conrad Hoffman. a Y. NJ. c. A.
representative in the German nrison
camps, visited Rastatt, and about sew
enty-flvc men asked him to communi-
cate with their families for them. One
of them was Lynch. The soldiers fam
lily could not believe it, but the records
proved it and the proof was further
strengthened by card dated Novem-
Der from Lynch himself. acknowledge

By BRIGGS

Homer, who enjoyed fame as a Tyre
smiter, has his modern counterpart in
Fatrolman Albin Johnson, of the Po-
lice Band. Johnson was placed on
Trial yesterday before Deputy Commis-
sioncr Golf, at headquarters. charged
with disrespectful conduct toward Ed

band
Johnson, it became known through
testimony presented yesterday. threat

When not engaged in discord with
the bandmaster, Johnson produces

His opinion of Coleman as a leader
and Goldmans opinion of him as a

Leader of Insurgents
In addition, it is charged, the tenn
peramental patrolman is head of a
large group of musical insurgents who
object to Goldman's leadership. Fifty
members of the band, it is said, op-
pose Goldman. The remaining twenty
five are his ardent supporters.
Working under this handicap, Gold
man was attempting to conduct d re-
hearsal at the 7th Regiment Armory
on October 80, when, witnesses said
yesterday, johnson turned his back
upon the conservative laws of music
and went over heart and soul to Boil

What really excited him, he asserted
yesterday, was the weird noises that
Goldmans supporters were making
upon their instruments to show their
opinion of the insurgents who had
been trying to oust the leader.

Fired by these contemptuous blasts,
J Johnson, it is said, laid down his
French horn, wrested the baton from
the hands of the leader, and offered
him the choice of leaving the meeting
on his feet or on his neck. 1t is also
charged that the insurgents rallied to
fscated Goldman's music rack.
No one can tell what might have
happened next had not the pacific ele-
ment in the band sought guidance of
Polyhymnia, goddess Of song. These.

them, lifted their instruments and be-

How to Make $57, ,637,873 in Resources Cover

zle; Public Health and Jobs for Soldiers Also
Pressing Isues

One of the first problems to be
grappled by Governor Smiths re-
Gently appointed Reconstruction Com
mission, which held its organization
meeting IN the Adermanic Chamber
at the City Hall last night will be
that Of acquiring additional taxation
Tor the state. The Importance of this
problem was indicated by Governor
Smith IN his address to the commits
sion, outlining what he desired them
to inquire into.
Immediately before January and
SINCE | took Office he said, 'I saw the
problems of war were creating condi-
tions in this state that would have
to be met by unusual measures. 1t
was for that reason that | suggested
the appointment of a commission COM
prising men and women who have given
time and study to what were called. a
short time ago, the problems of the
war.
10 act properly on measures of i'm
portance the state Legislature must
have assistance from the outside-as-
sistance such as this Reconstruction
commission will be able to give for it
"lll be part OF your duty to study the
problems of the state and be ready TO
produce authoritative evidence show
ing the necessity for the passage of
measures by the Legislature.
Revenue Question Vital
"One of the most important of those
hn+
for the state. Everything else revolves
about it. Everything else depends
upon it"
Quoting figures given by the State
Finance Department Governor Smith
SAID the estimated resources of the
state on July l next, the beginning of
the fiscal year. would be $57 1857 1878,
while the estimated expenses for the
fscal year beginning then amount to
S96,602,29 These figures do not in
clude expenses for exigencies arising
during the year
"Of our estimated resources" Gov
Sl3,0G0,O00 will be used for improv-
ing the conditions of the state insane
hospitals. If the conditions in the
insane hospitals of the state were
known our people would be ashamed
OF them. The overcrowdng is dis
grace; something must be done"
another item OF importance is that
Of public health" the Governor con-
tinucd. THE experience Of the draft
shows the necessity for the study of
1t. 1t Is appalling to think that one
third of the men in this state between
the ages Of twentyone and thirty-onc
were unfit physically for military SER
vice.
Jobs for Soldiers Needed
Gas for the unemployment of return
ing soldiers, it won't do for US to say,
The war is over; we've won,' and let
1t go at that. Going down to the Bat
terry and waiting for the boys to come
in; having celebrations and victory
dinners won't get us anywhere. Let
the boys who did the fighting over
there do the celebrating And they
can celebrate best when we give them
jobs"
Mayor Hylan, reading speech of
welcome to the Governor and the com
mission, offered any aid, at any time,
the commission might desire Of him.
He was thanked by Governor Smith,
