IMPROVEMENT OF
JAMAICA BAY URGED
Bergen Beach Land Corpora
ton Seeks to Have the
Dredging Begun.

The Bergen Beach Land Corporation,
which sued out an injunction 10 restrain
the city from dredging a channel through
Jamaica Bay, has filed a communication
with the budget committee Of the Board
Of Estimate in which it is urged that
the city and land owners join in causing
the vacating of the injunction.
The budget includes an item OF ST.
100000 for the dredging OF a Jamaica
Bay channel provided the existing re-
straining order Is vacated. The Con-
gressional act authorizing the improve
ment provides that the Government shall
reimburse the city at the rate of cents
cubic yard for not more than $1,000
600 cubic yards.
The corporation, through its counsel
Truman Fl. and George Z. Baldwin, as
serted that the War Department has de-
clared that the provision for the reim-
bursement of the city will not be made
void by the adoption of minor modifica-
cations of the original plans as made in
1917. Uncertainty regarding the atti-
tude of the Government in this connec-
ton has been the principal objection to
undertaking the work.
The channel as originally planned
would have followed lines set in 1911.
Property owners had number of OBJ
jections to this plan. Lines set in 1917
were favored by the owners from a COM
mercial standpoint but the approval was
clouded by uncertainty regarding the in
depreciation of the War Department of
Governments liability under the appro-
priation act, to reimburse the city after
the plans had been changed.
With this uncertainty removed the
owners urged that the 100000 appro-
priation be included in the budget TO-
the improvement of Jamaica Bay win
out the qualifying clause relating to the
injunction.
The lawyers said that there is nothing
in the restraining order preventing the
city from undertaking the improvement
on the 1911 lines. They argued that
since the work has not been started the
administration has not favored digging
a channel on these lines 1t follows.
they said, that since the use of 1917
lines will not deprive the city of the
Governments help there is nothing TO
interfere with the prompt starting OF
the improvement.

DANIELS TO RELEASE
$500 TONS OF SUGAR
Secretary Says Navy Has Sur
plus in Reserve.

WASHINGTON, Oct 21-Advised that
the Navy Department has in reserve
100000 pounds of sugar. Secretary
Daniels to-day intimated that he would
release one-third of the stock for public
use to relieve the situation resulting
from a nationwide shortage.
The present supply of the navy, Sec
rotary Daniels said. was sufficient for
six months. As only a three months
surplus usually is kept on hand. Mr.
Daniels indicated II would be unjust to
retain more than that amount now when
the entire country Is experiencing a
shortage.
The War Department. however, unlike
the navy, found to-day that it's supply
was running low. the supply being esti-
mated as barely sufficient to last until
December Is. Quartermaster-Gener
Rogers accordingly wired all zone off,
GERS that sales of sugar to any one per-
son in the service must be limited to not
more than six pounds a month and tn
not more than twenty-four pounds a
month for each family.
Federal control Of the sugar crop was
| opposed to-day before the Senate Agri-
culture Committee by c. A. Spreckels, a
New York refiner who blamed Govern
mental interference for the existing
| sugar situation.
There is no shortage, he SAID, although
the supply is "dislocated." One million
| tons Of the 1919 crop will be available
before January /. he added, to relieve
the present situation.
Mr.. Spreckels said he would not OBJ
ject to Government control II 1t would
reduce the price to the consumer. In
| stead, he insisted, it has brought about
| an increase In price.
-'If the matter were left to the law OF
supply and demand it would soon gel
| down to a proper basis" he added.

GLAND EXPERIMENTS

Using Man Instead of Mon
key Causes Stir.

Copyright, 1913; all rights reSerUed
PARIS Oct. 21.-The amazing discov-
cry of Dr. Voronoff, the Russian surgeon
who claims he can rejuvenate the aged
by grating an interstitial gland is the
subject of renewed discussion here fol-
lowing the receipt of reports describing
the operation as performed in st. Quen-
tin prison.
In the comment here particular en-
phasis is laid on the audacity of Amer
lean surgeons in taking man for the ex-
periments instead of monkeys such as
were used by DIR. Voronoff in the be-
ginning of his work. Asked IL by graft
not merely the prolongation and rejuve-
nation OF life, but could actually prevent
Death. DR.. Voronoff said
do you not know that all human
organisms, young or old, are subject to
The ravages of germs and microbes, and
that to be able at sixty years to feel
but thirty one should be able to attend
to business, to be able to enjoy life in
short, to be able to do all those things
instead of miserably awaiting death, and
that this is something all-sufficient in
itself.
What surprised me most" added the
doctor lis the establishment of the pub
lie. My discovery is such a simple. log
zeal thing. We know to-day that the
human motor needs to be fed in order
tc generate power. just like other mo-
tors. | asked myself where is the mag
net of the human motor. and seeking

SURGEONS TO STUDY

Withhold Opinions on Opera
ton to Restore Youth.

The most prominent surgeons OF Amer
lea, represented at the ninth annual ees-
sion Of the Clinical Congress of the
American College of Surgeons, meeting
at the Waldorf-Astorla, are by no means
ready to concede that the youth OF hui
man beings can be restored by the eubsti-
tuition of interstltial glands The ma
jority, including DIR. William j. Mayo,
president OF the college, and Major-Gen.
Merritt Ireland, SUPERINTENDENT of the
United States Army. profess such eight
acquaintance with results such as DR.,
Serge Voronoff of Paris processes to have
obtained by the use of the glands OF
apes, that they are reluctant to express
an opinion. Others openly scout the ideN
that the hand of Time can be stayed by
any means whatever.
DR.. f. l.. Moorehead OF Chicago stated,
however, that the surgical profession OF
America will make a thorough study OF
the widely heralded road to youth before
dismissing the operation as useless, and
that no authoritative opinion in America
will likely be forthcoming until the re-
suits of experiments have been ascer-
tanned.
The experiments along kindred lines
made by Brown Sequard. In Paris, some
several decades ago, were cited as hav-
ing been failures. as have been also all
other efforts in that direction, unless Dr.
Voronon in reality has discovered gen-

Ex-Convict Says Inhuman
Methods Rule at Leaven-

Representative Rowan's Kin
Victim of System, Is
Charge Made.

The charge that twelve Federal pris-
oners are to-day in solitary confinement
at the United States Army disciplinary
barracks at Fort Leavenworth. Kansas,
four under sentence OF death and eight
Under life Imprisonment as result of
kangaroo court proceedings Instituted
by the prison court martial following the
death of an orderly from a fist fight was
made yesterday by a visitor to the an
nual congress of the American Prison
Association at the Hotel Pennsylvania
where It was expected that Secretary OF
War Baker would speak. The man who
made the attack on the Governments
methods of dealing with military Of
tenders said he was Earle NJ. HUMPHREYS
of 5373 Belfield avenue, Philadelphia
and that he was an ex-convict who had
served some months at the prison.
HUMPHREYS asserted that officers al
the barracks had used the most I'M
scrupulous methods in obtaining the
convictions OF the men, even going to the
extent of having a witness who refused
to testify against the accused men con-
victed himself. This witness. he said
was man named Harold Reyes, son OF
Joseph W. Reyes. president of the Mer-
chants Trade Reports Company, OF 1oa
Park avenue. and a cousin OF Repre-
sentative Joseph A. Rowan Of 244 Riv-
erside Drive.
Partial confirmation of the story told
by HUMPHREYS was obtained from Rep.
resentative Rowan, who said the case
had been brought to his attention and
that he had read the proceedings of the
court-martial Mr.. Rowan made the
following statement: Tn no civil court
of law could they possibly have con-
victed anybody, except two or three mer
who were actually in the cell where the
fight took place, any one of whom might
have struck the orderly who was killed
1t is my further opinion that in any civil
court they could not have convicted any
of them of murder in the first degree.
Mr. Rowan said that he had been told
| that four of the men had been sentenced
TO death and that his cousin was among
! those who had been sentenced to life
Imprisonment.
The Congressman explained he had
| hesitated to make any further personal
| inve stigation of the case lest 1t might
be thought that he was attempting to
use his official position to exert undue
influence to secure clemency.
The 'frameup' resulting in the heavy
penalties alleged by HUMPHREYS took
place at a trial last November, Ave
months after the orderly lost his life in
July, 1918, Humphries said or seven
teen men accused twelve were convicted
| he said. The accused men and the men
who were later convicted had every OBJ

To get the benefit of habeas corpus pro-
ceedings, HUMPHREYS claimed.
