U. $. INTRODUCES \
 NEW COYOTE POISON
 ID KILL OFF PEST

Since coyote belts are bringing rec ord breaking prices in the domestic fur market and the extermination of this beast of prey is being sought by prac- tically all the cattlemen in Arizona, especial interest is being attached to the governments introduction of a new poison tablet which has almost exter-
 minated this animal in some sections of the state.
 Possessed of an uncanny sense of taste and smell. the coyote can always detect any ordinary poisonous prepara-
 tion before it will affect him. Accord
 ing to M. F.. Musgrave, United States
 predatory animal inspector, a coyote
 can detect and emit poison from his
 stomach after he has swallowed 1t.
 Traps are seldom effective, as the coy
 ote seems to sense their presence and
 avoids them. For this reason ranchers
 have been almost powerless to resist the costly invasion of coyotes into flocks of sheep.
 Work to produce a poison which would become effective before it could be detected was started in the govern ment laboratories here last November. This work was later transferred to the government office at Albuquerque, where facilities were better adapted for experimentation A mixture of strych- nine, sugar of milk and bicarbonate of soda was finally converted into small tablets which have proved the most ef- fective form of poison.
 These small tablets are placed in pieces of meat, which are thrown about in the vicinity of an animal carcass. The carcass is dragged, and the bait dropped at intervals of about 150 yards. Although suspicious of the dead animal the coyote will pick up the smaller pieces of meat. Once swal- lowed, this tablet generates a poisonous gas in the stomach of the coyote which is deadly in it's effect. Throwing off the tablet and bait will not counteract the effects of this gas, and death gen. erally follows within 90 seconds after the poison has been assimilated.
 According to Inspector Musgrave, there have been several thousand coy otes killed with this poison in the Salt River valley and immediate vicinity since it's introduction here about two months ago. The poison campaign is now being carried on by the govern ment in the northern part of the state.
 Those who gather fur belts for the market have reaped a harvest by fol- lowing the trail of the poisoned baits and gathering up coyote carcasses. A coyote pelt ranges in value from $10 to $2O and there is a steady demand for | all offerings in good condition.

Harrison Execution Is
Set for Tomorrow Night
Sheriff Knott Discovers Law
Does Not Require His
Presence at Death

Unless Governor Smith grants a
second reprieve, Richard (Rickey)
Harrison, will die in the electric chair
at Sing Sing tomorrow night at IL
o'clock Warden Lewis f. Lawes, of
Sing Sing, sent out the official invita-
tions for the execution yesterday.
One Of the invitations, as the law
requires, was sent to Sheriff Knott,
from whose county Harrison was
sentenced. Heretofore it has been the
impression of sheriffs of New York
County that the law made it mandatory
for the sheriff to be present at the ex-
ecution either in person or by rep
resentative of his office. On investiga-
tion yesterday, Sheriff Knott discov-
cred the law requires only that the
warden send such an invita- ton, but
it does not provide for the presence
of the sheriff, This discovery was a
welcome one for Sheriff Knott, for the
reason he is strongly opposed to
capital punishment.
Harrison was convicted of the mur-
der of George Gritfiths, Canadian
war veteran, at the Knckesb sbocker's
Walters Club.

Increasing Teachers Pay
Law Levying IA Mills Direct Tax Is Expected to
Provide $2O.55O,OOO for Higher Salary for
Every Public School Instructor in the State

amended Lockwood Donohue teachers
salary bill is the elimination of one
of the most intense campaigns ever
waged by the public school teachers
of this city for increased salaries.
Never before had the teachers agreed
so generally on any measure in their
behalf. Opposition by group of teach
crs who felt that they We're being dis
criminatcd against proved negligible.
Opposing the movement for higher pay
were a majority of the Board of Edu
cation, the Mayor and the Board Of
Estimate and Apportionment. The
teachers took their fight to the peo-
pie and to Albany, where in the clos
ing hours Of the Legislative session the
bill, which was compromise, was
rushed through at the request of the
Governor.
The legislation was n source Of much
satisfaction to Dr. William l.. Ettinger.
Superintendent of Schools, and those
associated with him in the active super
vision of the schools.
Twentythree thousand teachers and
thousands of clerical and other en-
ployecs of the Department of Educa-
tion arc affected. The pay of the
superintendent and all other school of
fcials is increased.
Passage Of the bill caused many
teachers who had resigned because Of
economic pressure to ask to be taken
back next fall.

Women and children of fifteen fam
lies were rescued by fremcn yester-
day when fire in secondhand cloth
ing store on the ground floor of five
story tenement house at 81 Orchard
Street spread to the hallway and cut
off their escape. A war veteran helped
the hremen save a woman and her two
sons.
Most of the women and children
were passed down ladders by firemen.
This entailed the descent Of three lad
ders. as we'll as the fire escapes. the
firemcn passing the trapped persons
from one to another. Other tenants
were assisted by the fircmen along a
ledge on the second floor of the build
ing at 50 Orchard Street. Several of
them escaped by going to the roof
whence they made their way to adj oin-
ing buildings.
Battalion Chief James J. Walsh or
dered the men of Hook and Ladder
Co. No. to run up three ladders.
Firemen took their places on the lad
ders and the first to be helped to the
street were Mrs, Sophie Bolofsky and
her five children, ranging in age from
two to an years, and Mrs. Josephine
Gust and her two children, aged three

Brooklyn Buses

Pending Appeal
Court Grants Stay Until
. Higher Tribunal Rules on
Decision Upholding JUS
ticc Cropsey's Injunction

The Appellate Division of the Su-
prone Court Brooklyn, granted per
mission to the city yesterday to appeal
to the Court Of Appeals from it's recent
decision upholding the injunction is
sued by Justice Cropsey against the
operation of municipal busses in Brook
lyn. A stay also was granted which
will permit the city to continue the
operation of the busses pending the de-
cision of the higher court.
William B. Carswell, Assistant Cor
poration Counsel, said that the Court of
Appeals never had passed squarely
upon the principles of the home rule
act. The city contended originally that
the act permitted the city to operate
5usses for the convenience and welfare
of the citizens. He suggested several
other points of law which he declared
ought to be decided by the Court of
Appeals.
Jackson A. Dyckman, counsel for the
Brooklyn City Railroad Company, rep
resented to the court that the contn-
ued operation Of busses was daily caus-
ing a loss of S2,1O0 to the company. He
said that the application to appeal to
the higher court was simply diliy
dallying method to get further delay
SO as to continue the operation of the
busses for an additional three or four
weeks.

obtained by the city against Public
Service Commissioner Nixon relative to
his order permitting the Staten Island
trolley lines to charge eight cents fare

for the Public Service Commission, re-
quested the postponement. Mr. Farley
said that he did not receive the papers
in the case until last Saturday, and had
not had time to prepare an adequate
defense. In view of the Importance of
the case, Justice Whitaker said he
would grant postponement.
Captain j. J. Kuhn, receiver Of the
Richmond Light and Railroad Company
said yesterday that he did not contem-
plate any action against the operation
of municipal busses on Staten Island
He said that the trolley service on that
line was normal, but that the cars were
not carrying as many passengers as be
fore the strike, as the people were tax

Tenants jam Court:
Police Are Called
AS Women Faint
Doors Broken From Hinges
as 700 Try to Reach
Justice With Complaints
of Big Rent Increases

Seven hundred excited tenants with
protests against landord made such a
vigorous advance on Justice Samson
Friedlander in the 7th District Mu-
nicipal Court, Broadway and 125th
Street, yesterday that women tainted,
doors we're pushed from their hinges
and the police had to be sent for to
control the crowd.
Women were perched in the windows,
wedged back Of the railing behind the
justice and more were in the hallway
clamoring to get in. Valentine Hahn,
chief clerk of the court, struggled to
the telephone to call the police.
Before the police arrived several wo-
men mad tainted and had to be carried
over the heads of the spectators to the
rear. The heat became such that jus
tice Friedlander removed his robe. But
business went on as usual. Landlords
fought their way forward when their
cases were called. 1t took some of
where they arrived too exhausted to
put up much of an argument for
higher rents.
About 400 cases were disposed Of.
In many instances increases were de-
MED. About 800 cases, including some
where landlords threatened to bring
eviction proceedings, were settled by
Justice William Blau in the Sth Dis
trlct Municipal Court. A number of
increases were much below the 25 per
cent fixed by law.
Supreme Court Justice Fawcett, in
Brooklyn, refused yesterday to issue
writ Of mandamus to compel Justice
Jacob S. Strahl, of the Municipal Court
to sign eviction papers asked by the
Rltkin Avenue Construction Company
against three families at 48O Hopkin-
son Avenue. Several months ago the
families were ordered out of the
building because they refused to pay
$15 month increase in rent. The
Mayors committee on rent profiteer-
ing obtained a stay from Justice Strahl
until July /.
"Ths is big victory for the ten
ants and the judges" Judge StrahI
said of Justice Fawcetts decision. "lf
the Supreme Court would have sus-
tanned this mandamus it would have
established a precedent and would tend
to defeat the new laws. Most tenants
cannot afford to retain counsel and the
Judges cannot leave their courts al
this time to answer proceedings sc
brought.
Suing and manamusng the judges
will not frighten them. They vii
still apply the new laws to work out
justice to the people.
