COURT WILL IGNORE
HYLAN COMMITTEE
Justice Manning Will Not
Recognize 1t in Rent Cases.

Justice d. +. Manning in the Supreme
Court, Brooklyn, said yesterday that he
would not recognize the authority of
the Mayors Committee on Rent Prof
iteering to deal with legal matters con-
nected with rent cases.
o. J. S. De Brun. attorney for George
H. Seagraves. a landlord. of 1872 knick-
erbocker avenue. Brooklyn. told Justice
Manning that Ralph j. Hoffmeister.
city marshal, had refused to serve n
final notice of dispossess except with
consent of the Mayors committee. The
order was obtained to compel William
Coughlin to move out of the house at
llO2 Halsey street, which Seagraves
purchased In May for his own use. The
final order was issued in the Municipal
Court October %. and was placed in the
hands Of Hoffmeister. who. according to
De Brun, said he would have to get
the consent OF the Mayors committee.
II should not be bound by the Mayors
Committee on Rent Profiteering." said
Justice Manning. "As far as I know
there Is no law that makes me respon-
sible to the committee In the perform
ance OF my duties. ] Shall not recognize

STRANGER IN STREET
of Waldorf Guest
Believed Demented-Is
Held for Assault.

Miss Dorothy Stauffer. 20 years old, of
Scotsdale, Pa, came TO New York with
her mother on shopping trip yesterday.
AS she alighted from a taxicab In front
of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel a man
armed with a large kitchen knife ran
across the sidewalk and stabbed her
twice In the left breast.
The screams of the two women at
tracted a crowd. John Brady. doorman
at the Waldorf. and Patrolman Patrick
Doyle of the Traffic Squad seized Miss
Stauffer's assailant, who appeared be-
wildered al his act He made no effort
to escape. Miss Stauffer twas taken
into the hotel where her wounds were
dressed by DR., Waterman of New York
Hospital. She was taken later to Miss
Alston's Sanitarium, 26 West Sixty
first street. There 1t was said the
wounds were not serious.
The man said he was Libari Maricori,
30 years Old of 122 West Thirty-thrd
street. The police believe he is de-
mented. When he was taken before
Miss Stauffer she identified him as the
man who had stabbed her. but said she
had never seen him before. Maricori
also admitted he had never seen Miss
Stauffer before.
When the police asked him why he
had attacked her he shook his head. but
said he mad been overcome by sudden
impulse when he saw the girl step out
of the cab. and something made him
attack her"
He said he was a cook out of work
and had formerly been employed at the
Waldorf. Magistrate Ten Eyck In the

The Interstate Commerce Commission
mas bestirred itself also. II found that
some Of its accredited agents. not in
Washington but those posted In various
parts Of the country. had been smirched
with the coal scandal. Some of them
the law may yet reach and punish.
Others have been expelled from the sec
vice.
The commission furthermore adopted
and promulgated in October Service Or
der No. 81. which under certain limita-
tions permitted the designation of cars
for the carrying OF coal to supply pub
lie utility corporations In the East and
which suspended previous conflicting or

assertion that when Special Order No.

signed cars dropped more than nine
tenths.
Aliening itself in thorough harmony
with the aims of the Department OF JUS
tice. the Wholesale Coal Trade Associa-
ton Of New York early last summer
adopted a series OF pledges for purging
the industry of its must heinous abuses.
Finally, under still further pressure from
Attorney General Palmer. Col. ID. b.
Wentz, president of the National Coal
Association. which comprises In its MEM

Maintenance of Prices.

The third question. which is expected
to develop into the most important
feature of the entire proceeding, deals
with the manufacturers and builders
who handled all materials and supplies
which go into building. In the process
OF this latter inquiry It will be shown
who was interested In the profits and
how they operated the system to main
tain prices by controlling the market.
The Lockwood committee already has
encountered much difficulty in handling
the investigation OF the manufacturers.
The memberships of these associa tions
represent big business. They have the
ablest counsel to direct them and help
block the inquiry into their affairs. They
have offices into other States and their
records are outside the Jurisdiction OF
the State committee. IL Is hard for the
committee to reach the big interests
through the Donnelly antitrust act.
Knowing that to be the fact Mr.. I'm
termyer specified when he took the po-
sition as counsel that he have the CO.
operation of the Federal Government
and that was promised. But instead OF
asking how best to assist the commit
tee. Attorney General Palmer named
special assistant to take up the Federal
end of the case. Nothing futher has
been done.
Inc committee does not see how much
e TO be accomplished unless one of its
counsel Is named as Assistant United
states Attorney to complete before the
Federal jury what Is started by the
committee. Members of the state body
evidently do not think much of the idea
of turning their evidence over to Fed
erai Investigator without knowing what
may be done with II. AS yet there is
no disposition shown by the Federal Of
ficials to help the State inquiry.
Mr.. Untermyer and his associates
are understood to have taken the stand
that they are not In any rush to get
out indictments merely for the sake OF
producing sensations. They take the
position that they do not wish TO bring
out an indictment unless II will hold.
and for that reason are going slowly.
In the case OF every indictment they OBJ
tain the committees lawyers intend to
have copper riveted evidence which win
convict.

WOMAN JURY GIVES
TENANT A VERDICT
NeU Jersey Lawyer Valves
Constitutional Point.

Twelve good women and true in the
Bayonne IN. j. District Court decided
yesterday in eleven minutes that Mrs.
Sarah Bennett of 70 West Fifty-second
street, that city. would not have to pay
$40 to Samuel Lichtenstein of l91 West
Twenty-second street. Bayonne. for rent
last January on an apartment in % East
Tenty-ninth street. Bayonne.
They decided for the tenant defendant
because Lichtenstein did not own the
house on January 5. the day the rent
was due, and because they believed the
woman's allegation that the owner at
that time. Philip Mandel. had agreed
that she need not pay the rent unless
he had made the repairs to the furnace,
which he promised when she rented the
place in November. These were the
points about which Judge Peter T.. Still
well had charged them when they filed
into the jury room after listening to
testimony for two and half hours.
This third trial in New Jersey before
jury of women began with an objec-
ton against the jurors as whole.
Irving Lipman, counsel for Lichtenstein,
quoted a section of the State Constitu-
ton specifying that juries shall be COM
posed of men, and declared that there
fore n trial by women jurors would be
unconstitutional Judge SttllweU in
vited him to glance at the panel and see
If his opinion about women jurors would
not alter.
1T looks good to me- Lipman finally
admitted after "a careful "once over"
and consented 10 proceed with the case.
Mrs. Mary Agel of IL West Twenty
ninth street. milllner, was chosen as
foreman. Another juror was Mrs. Will
lam NJ. Wauters. president of the City
Betterment Club and the Women's Re-
publican League of Bayonne. Fifteen
women had been summoned to consti-
tute the panel. Four of them arrived
late at the court room, and drew
jocular censure from the judge.

The housing investigation, which
was held up for several days by the
election. will go ahead to-day along
two distinct lines. While the Lock-
wood committee is in session in City
Hall bringing out new evidence bear
ing on the activities of grating labor
leaders and the price fixing combina-
tons of builders and contractors. the
Grand Jury will weigh evidence, al
ready completed by the committee,
dealing with the criminal responsible
ity of several men.
Samuel Untermyer, chief counsel
for the committee. crowded in hard
days work yesterday when he held
the Grand Jury in session ali day to
receive the testimony he wished to
offer against those whose indictments
are expected soon.
Eager to Expose Conditions.
The jurymen wished to adjourn for
the afternoon. after Mr.. Untermyer had
been before them for several hours. but
the lawyer called them before Judge
Mulqueen, who issued Instructions that
they continue in session all the after
noon. They did. The ante room to the
jury's chamber was crowded for hours
with contractors and labor men all wait
ing their turn.
At the close of that session. Mr.. I'm
termyer went into conference with
Leonard Wallstein and Samuel Berger.
his associates, who had been questioning
witnesses all day. That session lasted
until late -ast night. The programme
for to-day's hearing was completed.
Men who are counted among the most
powerful in the building industry warmed
their feet yesterday as they waited for
hours for an opportunity to be heard, all
eager to make a clean breast of the
whole sordid business involved, If only
they could be assured Of escaping with 4
whole skin.
Immunity promises are not being
given, 1t Is understood. but many wit
nesses are being heard. The testimony
is accommodating so rapidly the Lock-
wood committee is finding one of Its
most difficult tasks to be the sorting OF
it and verifying the information given.
1t has become evident that the inquiry
will last for many weeks.

Driving out the Crooks.

Primarily the investigation Is trying
to fix the blame for the high cost OF
building. The committee makes It clear
that II Is not starting crusade against
labor, but the graft scandals have
broken open the labor situation, and the
committee now is anxious to get the sup
port of the honest unions and honest
labor in driving out the crooks who
have been making millions out OF their
schemes OF extortion, all at the expense
of labor itself
The hearing will start to-day where
II left off last Thursday, with the in
vestigation of the Lathers' Union. whose
president testified that alleged incrimi-
mating records dealing with price fixing
had been destroyed. The officials OF
several other trade associations will be
called as witnesses TO explain why their
records were destroyed. as Is charged.
The committee is said to have !nforma-
ton that several prominent organiZa-
lions obeyed orders from some one high
In authority to destroy all records.
The Lockwood committee so far mas
touched upon two of the three distinct
phases of the problem they are handling.
These two are the labor problem and
the activities Of the contractors who are
alleged to have acted to regulate and
restrain trade and fix prices. Sensa-
tional as has been the testimony given
IL has touched the surface only of both
these situations.
