SEEMS TO BE DOOMED
Board of Estimate Committee

on the ground that the rapid transit
act does not permit and that the money
to be received from the sale Of the prop
erty Is needed for the acquisition of
other real estate for transit purposes the
Board OF Estimate will consider to-day
the report Of its committee on finance
and budget disappearing the suggestion
that the site OF the old Grand Union
Hotel at Forty-second street and Park
avenue be turned over to the Park De-
partment to be improved as a memorial
to Gen. Pershing.
While the designation OF this Mot OF
ground as public park to be named in
honor OF Gen. Pershins." the report
states. "is hitting and proper thing 20
do, no provision of the rapid transit act
has been indicated which would permit
of any such use of the property, and fur
ther, tho use of the property for park
purposes does not appear to be Justified
In view OF the loss of taxes resulting
thereby"
Inc property was purchase TO get tho
easements for the Lexington avenue sub
way. The foundations of the subway
were so constructed as to permit tho
erection OF twenty-five story building
on the site. which already has been put
up for public bids.
William II. Page will head n deleea-
ton OF representatives OF a number Of
associations TO urge the adoption OF the
memorial park idea before the board.
Among them are the Merchants Associ-
alton. the Professional woman's League

specidl Despatch to TIE SOY.


ALBANY, March 27.--Senator George
F. Thompson Of Niagara served notice
upon the Senate to-day that the prohl-
billion bills will not be permitted to die
IN the present Legislature without
fight.
Hints have been numerous that IL Il
could be accomplished at all the Legis-
lature would adjourn without voting on
any OF the enforcement measures which
followed ratification OF the Federal
amendment In line with this pro-
granne the Assembly Judlcially Com
mlttee completed its work without re-
porting any Of the enforcement bills.
The same committee failed also to re-
port out bills that would restore tho
party State convention system for noml-
mating State and judicial officers the
Dill providing optional municipal owner
ship and the health insurance measure.
A surprise was sprung in connection
with the favorable reporting out OF the
committee OF the Martin bill, giving
public service commissions power to
grant trolley fare increases regardless
OF local franchise agreements. Previously
the committee had decided to turn the
bill over to the Rules Committee.

Senate and sent TO Gov Smith for APP

but when Senator Henry NJ Sage,

asked him to suggest just what he would
cut out he said he had not had time TO
look IL over.
Senator Sage thereupon pointed out
that the bill has been in its final printed
form since March IL and that Senator
James A. Foley, the Democratic leader,
had designated Senator Boylan to sit
with the Finance Committee during the
budget making period.
The Governor has the power to veto

ALBANY, March 27.--The women's Joint

Upheld.
BIG AID TO SIGNAL CORPS

The end Of the Governments case
against Capt. Edwin g. weisgerber. who
u under trial by general court-mart!al
at Governors Island, was reached dur
ing yesterdays morning session without
having brought out any substantial evil
oence to sustain the charges that the
accused officer was working in the inter-
est Of Germany.
A number of witnesses for the defence
called later in the day were unanimous
IN their testimony that Capt. Weisger-
Der had not only performed his regular
duties with fidelity and ability. but that
ne mad gone beyond what was demanded
or him and aided not only other branches
OF the War Department. but also the
navy py producing chemicals which We're
unootainable through other sources In
fact some of the witnesses gave the i'm
preston that the accused CAPTAIN was
lttle short of a wizard in his ability to
produce a supply of any chemical in an
amazingly short time
Cross examination by the Judge Advo-
cate failed to bring out anything ietri-
mental to the prisoners case, except in
the single instance when Major oliver
%. zimmerman. who was Capt. Weisger-
Ders immediate superior during most OF
the latter's service, said that he had
given out a statement in regard to A
synthetic fuel invented by the captain
without proper sanction from the War
Department. Major Zimmerman testi-
ned. however. that he and Capt. Wells
gerber had the sanction of their COM
mander in the matter.
Major Zimmerman further testified
that Capt. .Welsgerber had gone over all
the patents granted for easolene sub
st.tutes and had rs or 20 compounds
which were successful under various
tests in hydroplanes, motor cars and
motor vehicles. Some OF them he said
gave greater efficiency than commercial
gasolene and their cost varied from Q
TO 30 cents a gallon.
Capt. Weisgerber, according, TO the
came witness, took out thirteen patents
Tor such substances, giving the Govern
mont royalty rights in each instance and
eleven patents on various colored smokes
which were adopted by the navy He
for the reason that the accused had
assisted the Medical Department of the
Army in producing several medical
chemicals. and had been of great assist
ance to the Photographic section of the
Signal Corps in devising a means OF
producing metol, a chemical used in de-
SciOpilcHt WOIk bHu at tnhL time unOb-
tainable In this country even at a price
of $40 n pound.
This testimony in regard to the pro-
duction of metol was confirmed later in
the proceedings by Capt. c. /. Haired
ana Capt. Charles l.. Ruth, both OF the
Corps Of Engineers. who had cognizance
of the question
Major Zimmerman denied II was possi-
Bile for Capt. Weisgerber to have infu-
enced the adoption OF standard pipe
coupling for oxygen and ascetelyne tanks
for the reason that the accused had
never been a member OF the committee

Another Organization to Take

Although 1t is n fact that the organiLa-
tion known as the French High Commits
sion ia about to go out Of existence, Il is,
however, to be replaced by a new and an
equally official organization, which will
have as its chief function the execution
OF French Government contracts as yet
incompleted and the settlement OF ac-
counts still due on contracts already
closed. This new organization, II was
announced yesterday. will maintain all
of the departments Of the French High
Commission. which at the present time
covers four floors Of the American Ex-
press Building.
The question OF giving notice to its en-
ployees in the near future has not even
been under discussion.

Jubilation Is Absent.

O'Leary showed no Jubilation. Neatly
dressed, as always, and carrying new
spring overcoat on his arm, he stood
In the same place before the bench where
he stood on June 10 a year ago and
heard the clerk read two long indict-
ments charging him with the most
serious OF crimes a man can commit
in time OF war. He smiled a little
year ago as IL he viewed the charges
lightly. but his hands trembled as he
held a copy OF the indictments. Yester-
day there was no smile on his lips as
he listened TO the formallties that meant
freedom for him and probably his last
appearance In court as codefendant
with Herman Vessels. Nine. Marie de
V!ctorica and other alleged spies and
conspirators.
II am through with Irish paganda."
O'Leary told reporters. 81 am going to
take a rest and then l shall return to
the law"
Mr.. Matthews would not say that the
acceptance OF bail in the face OF an In
dictment theoretically non-ba liable made
It n fair conclusion that the Govern
ment did not intend to prosecute O'Leary
further.
The jury that tried the Bull indictment
disagreed Sunday after being out fifty
hours. The vote was TO for the
defendant. All OF the eight counts but
one were thrown out OF the discussion.

Several of the defendants accused with
O'Leary on the more serious espionage
law indictment have been reindicted
charged with straight treason. The fact
that OLeary was not reindicted has led
to the conclusion that the evidence
against him did not justify it and that
he will never be retired.
Much that appeared clear against
OLeary IN the indictments was clouded
up in the record OF nine weeks OF con-
troyersy that constituted the trial OF
TIE Buu indictment. But some things
that OLeary has done are not ques-
toned. He fed from the Bull indictment
on the eve Of trial.
His flight, his long Imprisonment and
his trial brought him to perjury. He lost
