To Decide Competency
Of Mother as Guardian

Surrogate Fowler yesterday appoint
ed Peter B. Olney referee to determine
whether Mrs. Clara C. Erickson, of 62
Riverside Drive, is mentally competent
to act as guardian of the person and
property of her yearold son, Will
lam Thorne Erickson.
Four months before the death of
Alexander H. Erickson, Mrs. Erickson S
husband. he had her committed to a
sanatorium in Stamford, Conn. She
was discharged as cured in February.
DR.. Graeme NJ Hammond, alienist,
testified in that proceeding that Mrs.
Erickson was subject to outbursts, dur
ing which she might kill herself or
other persons. Mr.. Erickson left an
estate valued at S1,500.0OO, most Of it in
trust for his son.
"The estate of the infant is q very
large one" said Surrogate Fowler, "and
if it should happen that the mothers
grave malady is not cured and the es-
tate of the infant should be lost or
wasted by herI should always feel that
had not done the best for child in
the constructive custody of this court"

Release of 600
Enemy Aliens Is
Ordered by U. S.
Leniency Confined to Those
Whose Internment Was
Merely Precautionary;
Other Gases Are Pending
New York T,ibuns
WdShinQtOM Bureau

WASHINGTON. March 19.-The re-
lease of 600 interned enemy aliens
to-day was ordered by the Department
of Justice, as the result of an examina-
tion of records of the cases Of incar-
ceration under the espionage act.
The aliens will be given their liberty
under parole, and will be required to
report periodically to the department.
Bonds for fulfillment Of certain regu-
lations for their future conduct also
will be required.
The men and women to be liberated
include only those who were interned
for minor infractions, such as enter
ing barred zones, failing to have per-
mits for visiting certain points, and
those who remained in restricted ter
ritory after being ordered to move.
Included also are number of men
Of German parentage who belonged to
the American army and navy, whose
detention was ordered as a precauton-
ary measure against information of a
military character reaching the enemy.
These soldiers will be honorably dis
charged upon their release.
No dangerous enemy aliens are in
cluded, it was said. "The list includes
only those whose previous record con-
tanned nothing that could be inter
preted as un-American," said one Off
cal
The department began its review of
all cases of interned enemies shortly
after the armistice was signed. For
mer Attorney General Gregory di-
rected that all facts be reviewed, with
view of recommending release of
the enemies whose Incarceration was
largely a precautionary measure. The
examining board is still engaged in
reviewing these cases and further
recommendations of leniency are ex-
pected.

ALBANY, March 19.-Samuel S
Koenig, John J. Knewitz and Jacob A
Livingston, the Republican count,
chairmcn of New York, Bronx ane
Kings counties, were dragged into the
bipartisan deal row at the conference
of Republican Senators here tonight
Senator j. Henry Walters, defending
himself before his Republican col
leagues, declared he had taken the ad-
vice of the three county chairmen be-
fore he and Speaker Sweet agreed tc
give Governor Smith a dual-headed
Public Service Commission for New
York City. This legislation, it is
charged, was the basis of the deal.
A vote was taken on the question Of
giving the governor what he had orig
lnally asked for. and a majority of
the Republicans signified their inten-
tion of letting him have his way.
Senator George f. Thompson, of Nj
agara, led the revolters. He declared
that the Governors plan was mock
cry anu OOOmed to failure.
Glynn Explains Stand
George A. Glynn, chairman of the
Republican State Committee, who was
here to attend the meeting of the
executive committee of the state com
mittee, which was in session Yesterday
and to-day, declared tonight that Gov
ernor Smith had changed his mind on
what he wanted in the way of public
service legislation.
-, "Originally," said Chairman Glynn,
ne wanted two commissioners for New
ork City, one to discharge the regula-
tory and quasi judicial duties of the
commission, and one commissioner to
have control over construction. Now
he wants four headed commission.
one to be known as a Transit Commits
sloner, to have charge of construction,
and three to do the work which he said
originally could be done by one"
Smith Denies Change
Governor Smith, when informed of
Chairman Glynn's statement. said:
ut is not true. | did not change n,v
mind. When l talked the matter over
with the Republican leaders and thew

desirous of having was transit com

tons of the dual subway system.''
Earlier in the day Governor Smith
attacked the Republicans in the Legis-
iature for their action of Yesterday
in il n voting down an appropriation Of
$4,000 for his reconstruction commits

their act declared that the commission
was IN reality a super-legislature Gre
ated solely for partisan purposes.
Governor Smiths attack on the Repub-

llcan majority was contained in
formal statement, which follows:
II regret that the Republican major
ity in the Legislature, by a strict party
vote, saw fit to deny to the reconstruc-
tlon commission an appropriation for
its actual and necessary expenses. 1t
is history repeating itself. There was
an opportunity for the Republican ma
jority to help do great work for the
state, and it is sad to say that the state
and it's interests, and the interests of
all it's people, were subordinated to the
interest of partisan politics.
Calls Reason Obvious
an the short period that we were at
war there was appropriated by the Leg
islature for war purposes S3,650,000. Of
this amount over S1,000,O00, almost d
third of the whole amount appropriated
went into salaries and travelling ex-
penses. This was appropriated to be
expended under the direction of Gov
ernor of the same political faith as the
present majority in the Legislature, and
to Democratic Governor, for care

100000 Is denied. The reason is obvi-
Gus and it is not difficult problem for
the ordinary man of the street thor
oughly to understand"
At to-day's session of the executive
committee the proposed state income
tax, with per cent fiat rate, which
would reach the New Jersey and Con-
necticut commuters who earned big sal
aries IN New York City. was taken up.
The committee did mot reach any de-
cision on it, Chairman Glynn an
nounced. He said that it was the gen
eral opinion that state income tx.
would have to be passed and that it
would be left to legislators to decide.
Again the executive committee en-
phasized the need Of giving the welfare
