Republicans Make

Blame Democrats for 2.
Gent Transfers and AS
sorting Companies Do
Not Need Increased Rates

Brooklyn Republicans, who have al
ready started their fall campaign, yes
terday launched another broadside at
Democrats in general and at the local
machine in particular. The two-cent
transfer order Of the Public Service
Commissioner was attacked as unneces-
sary. and an appeal made for the voters
to show their disapproval by voting the
Republican, ticket.
After charging that some persons
made more than s12,0o000O in "stock
gambling" on L. r. T. and B. r. T..
stocks since Governor Smith appointed
Lewis Nixon Public Service Commits
sioner and John II. Delaney Transit
Commissioner, the broadsidc declares:
"Tammany cannot be trusted The
Public Service Commissioners ab-
pointed by Governors Sulzer and Glynn
were driven from Office"
questions and answers:
81. Who is Lewis Nixon? He has
been engaged in shipbuilding construc-
ton, but not in railway work. He
was Croker's lieutenant in Tammany
Hall. He was one Of the three Sa-
chems LETT in charge Of affairs when
Croker went to Europe.
"2 Who is John H. Delaney? He is
not financier He is not an engi-
neer He is not a man experienced in
railway construction. He was Sui
zer's Commissioner of Efficiency and
Economy
"3. Why do you pay seven cents in
stead of five cents? Because Commits
sioner Nixon so decreed
Il. Why did not the Republicans raise
the fares when in power? Because the
steady growth of the city assures that
the stocks OF the lnterborough and the
B. r. 7. will pay good dividends on the

long run, disregarding temporary con-
dtiOns.
20. Why are the corporations so
anxious for an immediate increase?
Because they know that temporary con-
d1tlons will pass and that there can

proved this beyond a doubt. The in

threats that no member of the associa

with any actor at present living up to
his contract, the extraordinary third
degree methods employed to intimidate
actors from fulfilling engagements for

beyond all doubt that no actors life

Firemen's Paper
Ordered Stopped

Department Rules
Is Explanation Offered;
Men Say Officials Fear
Its Use in Wage Battle

'The Fireman. official organ OF the
Uniformed Fircmcn's Association Of
New York, has been ordered suppre ssed
by Mayor Hylan.
According to Fire Commissioner
Thomas J. brennan, the Mayor holds
that the publication of this organ by
the iiremen is in violation of depart
ment rules. The fire fighters them
selves, however. attribute the action to
the fear Of the city authorities that
the paper would be used to obtain more
money for the fremen and to attack
those officials who oppose them
The publication, bi-monthiy. wa
conducted for three and a half months
by a private individual. but was taken
over by the frcmen's organization on
July 20, to assist them in improving
the status Of their 3,7OO members.
On August l a circular was issued
by department heads calling attention
to Section 739 of the rules forbddng
hremen from engaging in any outside
activities
The association. however. went
ahead with its first issue Saturday
week ago. Last Thursday the organ
ization leaders, including Albert Gum
ness. presidents; Anton Holbrock. vice
president; William Anderson, socrc
tary, and Charles Nixon, treasurer
were summoned before Commissioner
brennan and told that they must give
up the publication or be brought up on
charges and dismissed from the
service
brennan, the association leaders say
pointed out that the rules particularly
prohibit the solicitation of advertise
ments. The hremen contended that
they had paid solicitors to do this
work and that, under any circum-
stances. It was restriction of their
personal liberty to prevent them from
putting in their leisure time as they
wished
Personal liberties or no personal
liberties brennan is reported to have

ing the rules and wants it stopped

ITHACA. N. Y, Aug. 16.-Donald
Fether, twenty-one years old, Cornell
county Jail in Ithaca tonight after a
hearing in the Justice Court at Jack
sonville. held without bail to await the
action of the grand jury on charge
Of having murdered Miss Hazel Crance,
eighteen years old. Fether escorted
the girl to a dance at the Glenwood
Hotel on the night of July 10 and later
for canoe trip on Cayuga Lake, the
last time she was seen alive.
Fether was held principally, if not
entirely, because of the introduction
in evidence of a pair of trousers he
wore on the night the girl met her
death. The trousers were brought to
the surface of the lake while search
was being made for the girls body
off the trousers in order to better swim
about to find the girl after the canoe
upset.
May Have Grappled Body
Leonard Bloom and William Leonard,
professional grapplers, and Edward
GRANGE. father Of the girl, testified
courtroom were in the same condition
as when dragged to the surface of the
lake Bloom and Leonard. who laid
claim to 80 years experience as grap-
piers, said that the load that was
caught on their hooks at the bottom
of the lake and that they started to
pull to the surface was a body.
The load, they said, remained on the
hooks for the greater part of the haul
to the surface, but about forty or fifty
feet below the surface the load gave
way and the trousers alone remained
when they pulled the load into the
boa.
The three witnesses testified that
the trousers were double knotted. but
that one Of the knots was loosened be-
fore the trousers could be dragged
into the boat.
Testifies as to Character
The girls mother, who also was a
witness. testified to her daughters
character. Mrs. Raymond Hoarc, an
other witness, said she heard cries for
help coming from the lake. Bert 7.
Baker also testified that he heard
woman's cry for help the night the
girl disappeared.
At the close of the testimony Attor-
neys A. W. Feinberg and Peter r. Nc
Allister. for Fether, moved for dis
missal on. the ground that no crime had
been established and that Fcther had
not been shown to have committed a
crime
District Attorney Adams admitted
that sufficient evidence to secure a con-
viction or even an indictment had not
been shown, but that enough evidence
was produced to hold Fethor for the
grand jury. The court supported him.
Fether declined to make any state
ment in court. saying his case was in
his lawyers hands
