Swami May Call
lnterborougla Heads
In Strike Inquiry
District Attorney TO Sum-
mon High Officials and
Ask Them to Waive I'M
muniiy if Necessary

High officials of the Intel borough
Rapid Transit Company may be called
to testify before the extraordinary
grand jury in connection with the Dis
trict Attorneys investigation into
whether collusion or conspiracy be-
tween the company and it's employees
to force increased fares inspired the
recent strike, District Attorney Swami
said yesterday.
Judge Swami had not intended to
call officials of the lnterborough, be-
cause their testimony would give them
immunity from prosecution unless
such immunity was waived
'pd rather not do this" said Mr..
Swami. "But. if the testimony we now
have lined up should not stand up we
shall not hesitate to call Interborough
heads and ask them to waive immunity.'
The grand jury listened yesterday
to testimony by George D. Barnitz,
formerly with the New York Police De-
partment's bomb squad, now vice
president Of the Washington Detective
Agency.
In conferences with members of the
District Attorneys staff before enter
ing the grand ury room Barnitz is
said to have admitted that on the Fri
day preceding the strike he offered the
services of his agency in apy attempt
the Interborough might make to main
tain service. No call for assistance
was made on him, according to the Dis
trict Attorneys office.
Barnitz told newspaper men vester-
day afternoon that he had called on II.
M. Norris, an official of the INTERIOR
ough, and asked for the assurance that
strike breakers his company would get
the job. Barnitz says the official told
him that at that time (Frday) it was
not certain there would be a strike,
and if there was he (Norris) did not
know whether the company would en-
ploy a strike breaking agency. Barnitz
says he left with the feeling that if
the company did decide to recruit
strike breakers his organization would
be called on.
Another witness before the grand jury
was j.. Harrigan, the lnterborough
Brotherhood's first president and the
man who drew up that organizations
constitution and bylaws
In conferences with the District At
torneys Office Harrioan is said to have
! declared that the Brotherhood's by
laws were passed upon by j. L. Quack-
enbush and Frank II. Hedley, company
officials, before they were adopted.
Harrigan has not worked for the In
terborough for several months. He is
said to have stated that the last time
he saw the Brotherhood's constitution
it contained the clause providing for
arbitration as to hours \of labor and
wages before employees went on strike.
Two Interborough shopmen also test-
fled yesterday.
Assistant District Attorney Talley
said he would try to develop to-day
why the arbitration clause was not in
vokcd by the company in an effort to
prevent the recent walk-out.

Magistrate Calls
Soviet of Tenants
Plain BoIshevis1n
Women Insurgents Warned
Not to Interfere With
Landlord: Bonus to Jani-
tors Denounced as an Evil

Another rcntpayers' "soviet" was
brought to light in Harlem Court YES
terday when Harry Kannensohn, owner
of two tenement houses at 115 and 1T
East 104th Street, had eight women
tenants before Magistrate Schwab on
a charge of conspiring to prevent him
from collecting his rents
The landlord alleged the eight
formed themselves into strike com
mittee and collected $1,000 from other
tenants which they refuse to tnrn over
to him, and that they inundated pro-
apartments vacant.
"This is nothing less than Bolshe-
vlsm, which seems to be running riot
over the city," remarked Magistrate
Schwab
'Im no Boishcvik, I'm a Democrat" )"
spoke up Mrs. Anna Harris, reputed
leader of the "soviet." $50 is my hus-
band. We belong to the Wichita Demo-
cratic Club"
Court Warns Tenants
Nevertheless" the magistrate re-
sumed, "you have no right to prevent
this landlord from running his houses.
He is a taxpayer and, through his pay
ing of taxes you are afforded police and
ire protection and a good many other
things. If you interfere with him
again in the slightest degree | will
issue warrant for you and put you in
jail. myself am tenant, but land
lord is entitled to protection"
The case was laid over until Friday.
Those arraigned with Mrs. Harris were
Mrs. Rose Popkin, Mrs. Lena Amos,
Mrs. Minnie Rothberg, Mrs. Rose Fem
stein, Mrs. Margaret Dclinsky, Mrs.
Sarah Friedlander and Mrs. Sarah
Alexander.
Objects to Bonus for Janitors
Z. H. Ralston, of Z. H. Clark Inc,
21 William Street, wrote Borough
President Ricgelmann Of Brooklyn yes
tcrday suggesting that an ordinance be
enacted forbidding janitors to accept
bonuses for renting apartments He
declared many janitors were in the
habit OF making things disagreeable
for tenants so the latter would move
or might be dispossessed as undesir-
ablcs.
"ln the house where l live, for ex-
ample, there is large waiting list and
the jaNitor tyrannzes over the ten
ants some of whom have lived in the
house for five years." he wrote. "The
object is to create disturbances and
then bring disposscss actions on the
ground of undesirability, install new
tenant, and, presto! receive gooC
bonus. Can we not get some relief"

An INFANT sparrow with an adol-

GRANTS sign on the first floor of 81
Fulton Street, yesterday afternoon,
but, unable TO fly, fell onto the avn
ing OF the Mirror candy store below.
Inc bird kept sliding down the slant
ing, awning. meanwhile getting its
nnttedgcd wings wet from coping and
ledge drippings. And with each down
ward trip completed the sparrow
would bravcly futter is way up the
awhln,. only to meet once more the
three-foot- high sign, which it would
have to scale to get back into the
nest again.
A crowd observed the plrcky little
sparrow's fremzied activities. Small
boys threw their hats Wy at the avn
ing, to strike it underneath, so the
sparrow might be bounced over the
ROD barrier and into their waiting
hands. The idea was to go up to the
diamond merchant with the sparrow
and restore the wandcrer to it's
mother; put some n.stook the efforts
for cruel boyish pranks and articu-
lated accordingly: thin lady with
eyeglasses came out of the candy
store and chased the boys away. Then
out came colored porter employed
in the store. He let the awning roll
down few inches further and the
ROD ceased to be an obstruction to
the sparrow, which fell into. the hands

The attempted flight across the Atlantic by airplane

transportation These intrepid avatOrs who rsked their
lives that future generations might benefit are following
the examples of the pioneers of the automobile racing game
The 5OO-mle sweepstake which will take place
In Indianapolis May 81 recall to ones mind the great
value that these contests have been to the automovc indus
try and incidentally to every autost.
In the days of Barney Oldffeld early the posi-
blties of the auto of today little dreamed Of and the
part that the of occurring annually after that
has taken in bringing the motor to Its present per
lection was never family imagined.
1t is the conditions under which these take place
that test the durability of every part OF the mechanism OF
the 1t upon these tests that manufacturers base their
analysis of the units employed IN the construction
of the modern car.
There is not piece of mechanism under the hood of
racing that form other is not used IN the
ordinary daily streets And is safe to say
that of these units has acquired It's perfection from
the experience gained by auto racing
Proper system Of cooling, efficiency of carburaton, the
tensil strength of working bearings and shaftngs all
based upon the 'acid test" of the auto race track
This is equally true of tires and beyond all question
of doubt tire manufacturers their ability
fully guarantee tires for mileage thought possible
years ago the experience gained by the strain put upon
their products while running 100 miles an hour
Defects in manufacture, material, and combinations
quickly appeared when put this supreme test Many of
these defects would not perhaps have appeared for
ordinary wear but if they showed in these grueng tests
they would eventually have appeared ordinary And
is the knowledge thus gained that has enabled the tire
manufacturer to place guarantees of from 5000 to 10000
miles upon tires which hitherto would have been considered
marvellous if they had run 5000
Therefore the motoring public of today owes much to

every revolution of the four wheels Of his
