Magistrate Denounces
Delay of Pistol Permits
Police Practice Is Called Out
rage Against Decent
Citizens

The practice of the Police Depart
ment in holding up applications for pis
tol permits in the hope that an ordi
nance would be passed requiring the
payment Of S25 for such permits was
denounced yesterday as an outrage
against decent citizens by Magistrate
McGeehan in the Morrisania court.
The magistrates anger was aroused
when Karl Rebellion. twenty-four, of
372 East l35th Street, machinist at
the Brooklyn navy yard, was arraigned
on charge of having two automatic
pistols in his home. The machinist
pleaded guilty to the charge, but saio
he had not received a reply to an appli-
cation he made for permit on Feb
luary 5.
After stating that he understood the
police were holding up from 300 to 400
applications in the hope that the ordi-
nance requiring payment of $25 would
be passed, the court said such an ordi-
nance would be an outrage against
decent citizens entitled to protection.
The crook would not suffer- he added,
because he wouldn't ask or receive a
permit.
Rcichlein was held in 5000 bail for
Special Sessions.

Hays Tells Republicans
To Forget yesterday
''Party's Usefulness Depends on
Future Achievements" Chair
man SAYS at Pittsburgh
Special Corresponde

Special Correspondence
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 12.-"The Repub-
lican party is the party Of the future,
or there is no use for the party" said
VIII H. Hays, of Indiana, chairman of
the Republican National Committee,
addressing 600 men of prominence in
business, industry and politics at the
Lincoln Day banquet of the Amercus
Republican Club here tonight. "Our
past record of fifty years of achieve
ment is the best guaranty to the coun-
try of our future fulflment, but it
is only on our future fultilment that
our usefulness will depend.
Remember, there is but one posi-
bic rule for a party organization, and
that is that the rights of the individ-
ual membership of the party to partici-
pate in the party's affairs must be and
must remain equally sacred and sa-
credly equal.
Remember, too, that there are no
yesterdays in Republican politics. We
do not care how a man voted in 1912,
1914 or 1916, or his reasons for so
doing. All who are engaged in the
great work before us are entitled to
the same consideration, the man who
has not always voted with us and the
man who has always voted with US.
Politics is matter of assimilation,
not elimination.'
Senator Philander C. Knox spoke on
the issues of next years Presidential
campaign.

s'Of Agin, On Agin,' and
Sweeney Is SsMc'' Again
Champion Name Changer Has
Hard Time Explaining TO
Friends

AS champion long distance name

214 Hasey Street, Brooklyn, is in a
class by himself
Sweeney is going to be McSweeney
once again, after having twice been
Sweeney, and once before having been
McSweency. His friends are respon-
slble for it all, he says.
When Sweeney came from Ireland in
1900 he thought he'd like to prefix a

Irish. This was legally done. Then
he had to explain the "Mc" to old
friends and decided to go back to his
original name. So he petitioned the
court to change his name, and once
more more became Sweeney. But now he
finds it easier to explain the "Nrc" to
new friends than to explain it awav
to old acquaintances. County Judge
May has granted him permission to re-
sumo the "Mc" at the expiration of the
statutory thirty davs

No Cigarette Smoking,
VusSar Maids Decree

DOUGHKEEPSIE, Feb. H.
H. Students at Vassar have gone
on record as disapproving of wom-
en- smoking. They have decided
that they shall not smoke or even
want to smoke.
The publication of story to the
effect that the girls had voted in
favor of smoking and had dcsig-
mated times and places where they
might puff their cigarettes drew
the ire of Burgess Johnson, pro-
fessor in the English department
and director Of publicity at the
college, tonight.
"lt is untrue that the students
have voted in favor of smoking,"
said Professor Johnson. "I learned
unoficially the other day that the
girls had met, discussed the ques-
tion of women smoking, and de-
cided against the proposition.
They have never asked permission
to smoke here"

" ary of Traps of Rich''
'sells Florida Newspaper Men
He'll 'Stick to Poor and
Has No Fear of Future

PALM BEACH, Fla, Feb. 12.-Mayor
Hylan told newspaper correspondents
nere to-day what ne thought of the
Citizens Union. Registering disap-
lroyal and scorn, he described the or
ganization and its works until he ran
OUT of adiectiyes. Then, with sympa-
thy in his voice and face, he told of
the merits of the Board of Aldermen.
Finally, he discussed his own health,
which he said was good, and announced
that he had found out that "there are
lot more poor men than there are
rich ones"
And" added his honor, 81 don't care
what traps the rich ones are trying to
set for ME. | am sticking by the poor
ones"
The Mayors dissertation on the Cit
'zens Union and the Board of Alder
nen was inspired by New York pape rs
which arrived here to-day. These con
.alned an account of criticisms
launched by the Union against the
board.
Calls Organization Fake
"The people of New York" the Mayor
told reporters. pay no attention to the
Citizens Union. 1t is one of the big
gest four-fiushing, fake, so-called re-
TORN organizations that we have. and it
Is practically composed of only two
men. People who know much about it
know that.
The Citizens Union," his honor con-
nued, warming up to his subject,
represents the class of reformers who
put across the $20000,00O courthouse
aea. under reform administration"
->ew York's chief executive then
turned his eloquence upon the down
iden aldermen.
They represent the people of the
cry he said. THAT is the reason this
lake organization has been opposed to
Them. | has found the aldermen, with
lew exceptions, working in the peoples
interests
1T is true many of them were poor
men whose parents we're unable to
give them college education but thcv
are honest, nevertheless. 1t is better
Or New York City to have these men
IN her service than to have those highly
educated representatives we can re-
member whose chief. concern has al
ways been for what we call the inter
ests
Says 1t Is to Save Money
When asked if the unions claim that
the aldermen had been passing meas
ures providing for the purchase Of
supplies without bids were true, Mayo-
Hylan said
"The reason for doing so is to save
money for the city. These provisions
have a tendency to break up the con-
tractors trust Almost every day we
have had the opportunity of saving
the city three, five or ten thousand
dollars at time, gust because of these
measures about which the so-called
Citizens Union is complaining"
In discussing Mayor Hylan, Mayor
Hylan said:
a am in my prime and in good health
and when l get through with this job
I'm not afraid that | cannot make a
living. That is my entire attitude.
Sufficient unto the day is the trouble
thereof and we won't worry yet awhile
about what might happen in the sweet

To Returned TrOOps

Lindley NJ. Garrison, receiver for the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, is
sued a statement yesterday showing an
increase of more than $4,000 in the
number of round trips made by surface
cars in thirty days of January over
the number in November. Between
November 80 and January 80 there was
an increase of 339 in the company's
employees, and Of 81 in cars in service.
The gain in subway and elevated
mileage was 395,2o5.
The number of women shop en-
ployes has been reduced" he said,
chiefly through designations, from 1877
to 1877, those women leaving the ser
vice being replaced by men. The class
of men now being employed is excel
lent, and ultimately should be of great
value to the system. AS far as practi-
cable, men who have seen service in
the army, navy or marines are OBJ
tanned for employment with the COM
pany upon their return to civil life.
These men are coming in gradually and
will be placed as soon as possible after
their applications are received"

at ~ Banquet; Help Your

By BRIGGS

TARRYTOWN, N. Y. Feb. IRE
spending to the toast what kind of
boy I would be if I were a boy"
John D. Rockefeller, jr., at the 'Father
and Son Banquet" in the Y. NJ. C. A.
here this evening, said while boys may
love their elders and sisters ''if it
comes to fight for right, by George,
a boy should stand up and fight"
Mr.. Rockefeller added there are two
classes of people in the world, "the
lifters and the leaners." He explained
that the latter were the shirkers and
the the first the workers. Boys of a
generation from now, he added would
have to solve the problem to which
class they would elect themselves.
Mr.. Rockefeller said that the world
needed more ''lifters" and "boys ought
not be absorbers: not giving anything
out: but, like springs, giving every
thing out"
"The world needs lifters," continued
the speaker; "the future is up to you
fathers. What this country will be
twenty-five years hence depends upon
you. You don't find lifters on corners
playing craps or hooHy. The same boys
don't refuse to work because it is too
hight toned. They don't think that
way"
The speaker declared that he was in
favor of devoting more tirae to his
sons and daughters. This resolve was
made, he added, after he had read of
the man who was going to give to his
boy one hour day and two hours on
Sunday.
AS his companion Mr.. Rockefeller
had at the table Fred Doetsch, son of
garage owner in the northern part of
the town.
George Roster, 16 years old, was an
other speaker. He talked upon fathers
and the lads duty toward them.

To SerUe With Hearst

MEMBERS of Fort Greene
Chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, resigned
in body yesterday from the
Brooklyn Victory Committee be-
cause Of William Randolph
Hearst's association with it.
Among the members are some
of the most prominent women in
Brooklyn. The members met in
special session at the home of the
chapter regent, Mrs. Charles M.
Bull, of 269 Henry Street. The
following was sent to Borough
President Riegelmann:
"The members of Fort Greene
Chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, hereby ten
der their designations from the
Brooklyn Victory Committee.
GAS descendants of the men
who won liberty for the United
States of America, they refuse to
serve on any committee with
which William Randolph Hearst
is associated."'
Several weeks ago the chapter
sent a resolution to Mayor Hylan
protesting against Hearst having
anything to do with welcoming
the soldiers, but the women re-
ceived no acknowledgment from
the Mayor.
