Wins
Drug g Dispute;
Not TO ISesi,g!yr
Health Commissioners Con
tention Of Right to Con-
troll Situation in City Is
Upheld by Counsel Burr

Health Commissioner Copeland has
decided not to resign. He made this
announcement yesterday upon receiv-
ing from Corporation Counsel Burr a
comprehensive report vindicating in
every detail his right to deal with the
drug problem and informing him that
legally he has the power to so ahead
with the work. Moreover, Mr. Burr
pointed out that in view of existing
conditions the Board of Inebriety
might with good reason turn over to
the Board Of Health the Warwick Hos
pital farm for the care and treatment
of addicts.
The authority of the health commits
sioner to interfere in handling drug
addiction was challenged at the recent
meeting of the Board of Estimate,
when the question of accepting the
Rockefeller Foundations gift was put
to the vote. Mayor Hylan voted
against accepting the offer, although
he is said to have previously spon-
sorcd the project. Controller Craig
definitely challenged the right Of the
commissioner Of health to operate a
hospital outside city limits For sew
eral days DR.. Copeland would not DENY
that There was possibility of his
resignation as result of the awk-
ward position in which he was placed,
after having solicited the gift for the
city. He has not seen the Mayor since
the incident. Yesterday he wrote a
letter informing him of Mr.. Burr's
rulings.
Rockefeller Gift Uncertain
There is no definite assurance vet
that the Rockefeller Foundations gift
will be accepted This was not exactly
the point under debate, although Incl
dental to it The real hitch occurred
over the commissioners CHALLENGED
powers to interfere in the trea tment
of addicts. Mr.. Burr's decision sub
stantiates Dr.. Copeland's right to pur-
sue his duties as agent of the State
Narcotic Commission, and, in this ca
paclty, to continue w-tn the rcgistra-
tion and identification of addcts.
The next move in the matter of the
Rockefellcr gift is up to the Mayor
according to Mr.. Burr, another member
must be appointed to the Board of In
ebriety, which now consists Of Bird s.
Coler, Commissioner of Charities;
James A. Hamilton, Commissioner Of
Correction, and Sylvan Levy The
Mayor appoints the fourth man. If
he refuses to do this the matter is at
standstill. The Significance of the
personnel OF the Board Of Inebricty is
that it has the judicial power to turn
over the Rockefeller gift to the sink
ing fund which, in turn, can dispose
Of it according to its inclination.
Would Send Patients
Asked what he would do provided the
Warwick Farm WAS turned over to the
Department Of Health, DR.. Copeland
said that he would immediately send
addicts there. An administrative build

WHEN physicians of St. Francis
Hospital had bandaged his bumped
head and bruised body yesterday
Charles Brown, a porter in the Bronx
County Court, raised & scratched hand
and solemnly swore that he was off
squads for the rest of his life. Which
doesn't mean that Charles had been
gallivanting-only that he had tried
to do an act of kindness and had fallen
eight feet, landing on his head.
Pigeons have for years built a nest
in the elbow crook Of the granite
statue of Justice on the south side of
the courthouse. Two of the young
fell out of the nest yesterday and
Charles got a ladder, picked up the
squads and clambered up to Justice.
He had just reached the nest when
the owners fell upon him, pecking him
and buffeting him with their wings.
Hurt and confused by this misunder-
standing of his intentions, Charles lost
his balance and fell, alighting on the
pedestal head down.

The expected building boom which
vas to solve the housing problem by

cording to the figures of tho Bureau

Construction on only eight new tene-
ments was begun during the month Of
June These will cost approximately

lngs are now under way, representing
a cost Of slo,7oo.28s, by far the greater
part consists Of Office buildings, stores,
io1te, stables and garages. The tene-
mens q houses were begun in May. In
June only three dwellings went under
construction, while mono was begun in
May: April was even a buster building

Resolution Introduced i'm
Congress Calls for Data
on Service and Accidents

The first strike of the aerial mail
pilots came to an end last night. No
mail left the Government Aerial Sta
tlon at Belmont Park, l.. T.. yesterday,
but superintendent Charles L. Stanton,
of the Eastern Postal Division, an
nounced last night that the pilots had
agreed to resume work this morning.
This action followed the receipt of q
telegram from Assistant Postmaster
General Praeger agreeing to meet the
airmen and hear their grievances
During the day various rumors we're
current on the landing field regarding
the outcome of the strike. One was
that the demands of the flyers had been
granted and another said that the
strike would continue for some time. A
report from Washington in the late
afternoon was that all the striking
pilots had been dismissed from the
service.
In Washington it was announced that
the strike was ended, and the regular
mail for New York left the CAPITAL city
at once. Mechanician Albert Paige.
who made the flight from Washinpton
to Belmont Park, was surprised to
learn that his was the only trip of the
day
Praeger's Attitude Changes
The agreement to treat with the
strikers came as a fat contradiction
Of a statement from the Post Office
Department in Washington earlier in
the day. One of Mr. Praeger's assist
ants announced that the department
would not hear the grievances of the
pilots but would discharge them at
once and replace them with other
flyers.
superintendent Stanton, who came
from Washington to attempt concilia-
ton, is believed to have brought about
the change OF front. Following a con-
ference. with the pilots at Belmont
Park in the afternoon, he telegraphed
summary of the situation to Mr..
Praeger.
While he declined to say what his
statement of the case had been, Super
intendent Stanton made public the re-
ply which caused the men to agree to
carry the mails to-day. 1t said
"Your arrangement satisfactory. Will
confer with you and representatives Of
the pilots. For purposes of harmony

volved in the controversy of July %
be selected blythe men,"
superintendent Stanton, before pilot
ing his own plane back to Washington
yesterday evening, fixed this morning
for meeting of Mr.. Praeger and rep
resentatives of the strikers.
The postal authorities in Washington
said yesterday that only six aviaters
carrying mail from New York to
Washington, the two making the trip
from New York to Bellefonte, Penn,
and the two relaying the aerial mail
from Bellefonte to Cleveland. During
the day several planes were taken
from the hangers at Belmont Park and
loaded with the Washington and Chi
cago mails. They remained without
drivers and were hauled back at dark.
1t was announced from Washington
last night that Representative Ram
seyer, of Iowa, had introduced into the
House a bill asking the Postmaster
General for detaild report on the
aerial mail service, particularly with
reference to safety devices.
Asks Data on Air Mail
The resolution calls for the total
number, kind and cost Of the planes
now being used; the number of mail
routes and the cost of their operation,
the number and kind of accidents and
casualties that have resulted; the num-
ber and classes of employees; the rules
governing pilots, the pay given them
and the extent to which Appliances
are used on the mail planes.

ent Stanton's telegram Mr.. Praeger
