lor Stevenson.
According to his testimony, Mrs. Bur

to drink cocktails.
Mr.. Birmingham testified his wife

among the servants in his home that
when she discharged the butler he re-
fused TO 90, saying that she was mot
II ht persons" TO discharge him.
The witness said his congregation
thought Of calling upon him to resign
because of the gaiety Of his wife, cs-
pccially on Sundays, and when she
brought suit, insisted that he defend IT,.
Mr.. Birmingham was attircd in the
uniform Of an army chaplain. He has
been at work in the Long Island can

Housing Corporation
Declared Extravagant
Bill Repeating Act Creating Or
sanization Is Reported
Out bv Committee
Neic York Tribune
W0.s6iuOfOu Ryreou


WASHINGTON, July 30.-A bill re-
pealing the act creating the housing
corporation and kindred organizations
was reported out to-day by the House
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds. The bill directs the Secre-
tary of Labor to deliver to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury a statement of all
real and personal property outside the
District of Columbia to be sold for
homes. All houses here, including the
war workers hotel on the Plaza, are
to be turned over to the Public Build
ings Commission. This hotel may be
run for workers so long as the gov
ernment sntfers no expense.
Representative Langley. chairman Of
the committee, said that while the leg
islation sought to be repealed was en-
acted as a temporary measure. no
sooner was it effective than an organ
ization was created sufficient, In num-
bers at least, to conduct the affairs of
one Of the great departments of the
government
College professors and alleged ex-
perts in various lines, he said, were
placed on the payroll at large salaries
and designated as town planters" and
town managers" until no private
building concern in the world could
have lasted any length of time with so
top heavy an organization and attend
ant colossal overhead charge.
The Bureau OF Housing and Trans
portation, said the committee report,
has committee Of its own officials
whose duty it is 80 regulate salaries,
but that it's chief Regulating" work
has been raising salaries

Only Most Deserving
To Be Raised, Says Hylan
Refuses to Meet City Employees
Committee That Demands
10000 Increases

Mayor Hylan has turned down re-
quest Of committee representing co.
600 employees of the city that he meet
them and discuss the question Of in
creasing their wages. The request was
made by the Civil Service Forum. The
Mayor replied in typewriter state
ment, in which he said increases would
be given to "the most deserving." He
said he has asked the heads Of the
various departm to indicate those
entitled to increases.
Nearly $6,000,00O additional would
be required if the demands Of the city
employees were met. Most of the de-
mands are based on a percentage of
present earnings. those receiving S2,-
600 or less asking for 20 per cent
increase, while those receiving more
than $4,000 ask 10 per cent raise.
The firemen and police have standard
lied their requests, asking for a flat
$3.50 increase.
The Mayor in his statement again
attacked the school teachers, who
when unable to obtain an increase
from the Hylan administration sue
ceeded In obtaining Legislation at AL
bany which gave them more pay.
The city employees plan a series of
mass meetings to voice their demands
for increases.

City Cannot Take
Over Transit Lines.
Says Interborough
Lacks Credit for Project
and Would Face Deficit,
Mayor Is Told in Answer
to Offer

The Interborough Rapid Transit Com
pany yesterday answered Mayor Hylan's
declaration that the city stands ready
to take over and operate the lines of
the Intcrborough and the B. r. T..
owned by the city for fve-cent fare, -
by saying that it was impossible. The
answer was in the form of letter to
Mayor Ilylan and the following reasons
were advanced:
First IF the operating companies
were to offer to return the subways
to the city, the city could not take them
back, for the city has neither the
money nor the available credit to
finance the proect.
"Second-But even if it had the
credit it could not escape paying the
higher wages and higher costs of ma
terials and supplies that are the sole
cause of the present emergency, and
it would therefore have to increase
the fares or pay the deficits by addi-
tional taxation. The rapid transit act
contemplates the utility being self-sup-
porting from fares. sud the PROPOSE
tion to retain the hve-ce fare and
make up deficits by taxation is directly
contrary TO the expressed spirit of the
act.
"Third-To throw over the operating
contract would destroy all hope of in
vestors OF ever, in better times, re-
coupling losses they have sustained due
to wartime prices"
IN reply to the Mayors statement
that the companies admit that many
Of the ills they complain of are Of
their own creation, and that capitaliza-
ton is one Of them, the Interborough
said that it was not overcapitalized
and that the question of capitalization
has no bearing on the problem Of find
ing new sources of revenue.
by increasing the fare" the Inter
borough wrote, "the city can realize
the profits it looked for from subway
operation. At present day wages and
cost levels this can be done in no
other way"

Resign From Association:
First Pickets Appear

The actors strike, called by the
Actors Equity Association, assumed
the can marks OF an honest to- goodness ss
labor scrap yesterday. when three
pickets presented themselves at the
stage door Of the Century Theatre
SlNtysecond Street and Central Park
West, and sought to induce members
of the "Chu Chin Chow" company to
quit rehearsal. Officials of the Actors
Equity Association deny they sent out
the pickets, who did not meet with
much success, as the rehearsal pro-
ceeded as scheduled.
Two more members of the companv
yesterday responded to the call of the
Equity by sending their designations
to Comstock & Gest, managers of the
production. They We're Lucy Beaumont
and Ida Mule. "charactcr" women. This
brings the total to three. Richie Ling

Three others. Lionel Braham. who
plays leading role; Albert Howsom
and Frederick Kaufman, stage manager,
announced they would defy the walk
out order of the association.
The two who walked out, the five who
resigned and the three who did neither
constituted the ten members Of the
company and Of the Equity who went
to Equity headquarters late Monday
night. Eight signed agreements to re-
fuse to rehcarse yesterday, the docu-
ments stating that they had done so
the preceding day under a msappre-
hension. All except Miss Beaumont
and Miss Mule, however, had changed
their minds again by rehearsal time
yesterday Some said they had signed
the agreement under intimidation, ~
while Braham, Howsom and Kaufman
said their lawyer had advised them it
would be illegal for them to break con-
tracts they have with Comstock e. Gest.
The Actors' Equity council was in
the esignation Of the FIVE "Chu Chin
Chow" players, it was asserted that
'no designations will be considered or
accepted at this time" The meeting

before. when the recalcitrant ten were
hauled up on the carpet.
Marjorie Wood Defiant
Marjorie Wood, leading woman of
"Chu Chin Chow told newspaper men
yesterday the Equity had sent her word
that it was certain to win its fight, and
that when it did she would be barred
from every stage in America. She re-
signed Tuesday in letter, in which
she wrote she was IAN artist, not a
member Of labor union"
Claude Becrbohm Tree, son Of the
late Sir Herbert Tree, famous English

A DISCOVERY THAT
benefits MANKIND

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1885 Newton originated the vac
uum process for condensing milk with
cane sugar to a semi-Aquid form.
In 1883 Horlick at Racine, Wis, dis
covered how to reduce milk to a d,v
pozcder form with extract of matted
grains, 7cithout cane sugar.
This product HoRLIck named
Matted haIlk. (Name since copied
by others.) Its nutritive value,
digestibility and ease of preparation
(by simply stirring in water) and the
fact that it keeps in any climate,
has proved of much value to mankind
as an ideal food-drink from infancy
to old age.

Eradication of Morning cIorv


The morning glory (ConvoluIus ar
vensis). sometimes called bindweed,
is an exceeding troublesome agricul-
tural pest. The reason it is so diff
fcult to eradicate is on account of
the fact that it has methods of re-
production; one by means of seed,
which are produced abundantIy:
and the other by means of under
ground root stalks, in which there is
a large amount of food material ac-
cumulted- As a result of the accum-
ulation of food material beneath the
ground the plant is able to renew its
growth, even though the tops are cut
off.
DR. Ira D. Cardiff, Director and
Botanist of the Washington AgricuI-
tural Experiment Station, states that
all this food material is originally
manufactured in the leaves. There
fore, if the plant can be prevented
from producing leaves for a season
or two, it viii gradually starve. This
can be accomplished, of course, by
the use of broad shared cultivators
and the ground may be planted to a
cultivated crop Of some root crop
which is planted late in the season
after the morning glory has had a
chance to make a good start and can
be cultivated down. Rape is a very
good crop for smothering out morn
ing glory. Pasturing hogs on the
ground is also effective in a measure.
The hogs are fond of the under
ground root stalks and root them out.
The pasturing of sheep also will tend
TO keep the tops closely clipped and
prevent the manufacturing of any
excess food material for storage be-
meath the soil. The great difficulty
in the eradication of a plant of this
type is in the fact that a person will
attack it vigorously for time and,
about the time he begins to think he
has it under control, reIaxes his vigil
ance and a few remaining under
ground portions get a new start. This
weed can be eradicated if constant
attention is given to it for a year or
two.
