HYLAN LAYS BLAME
TO THE INTERESTS
Tells Citizens of Glendale He
Is Defending the PeO-
ple's Rights.

Mayor John F. Hylan at mass meet
ing Of citizens of Glendale and Ridge
wood In Public School 93, Glendale, de-
Tended himself and his administration
last night against those who have re-
Gently criticised him, and asked his au-
dience to pay no attention to the cheap
critic who attempts to mislead you with
misstatemente regarding my administra-
ton" The meeting was called to obtain
an appropriation for water mains and
city water supply of this section OF
Queens Borough.
MANY persons are quick to eriticise,"
said the Mayor but when their criti-
cisms are analyzed you find that they
are playing on the other side OF the
house. pretending to be with the peo-
pie, but in reality favoring those impos-
ing upon the people.
There are two roads for Mayor to
travel The first is to let the interests
run the Mayor and the city, and you
are the white haired boy and patted on
the back The other road is the road
the people expect you to travel and 10
uphold their interests, your oath OF Oh
flee and their rights, IL you endeavor
to do this you are investigated ana
abused by the subsidized press of this
city"
In spite of the efforts of Republican
organization heads in the Ave boroughs
to discourage all suggestions of a legis-
lative investigation of the Hylan ad-
ministration Senator Theodore Douglas
Robinson of Herkimer county and
Assemblyrnan Joseph Steinberg of the
Fifteenth district Manhattan. are going
ahead quietly with their plans to intTo-
duce a resolution 20 that end as soon
as the Legislature convenes.
Il am more determined than ever to
push this thing" said the Senator last
night. Have l consulted with the Re
publican leaders in the city? l have
not! Why? Because j know pretty
well how they feel about it. There are
certain people who do not want this
investigation to happen. But possibly
those who do want it will defeat those
who are opposed to 1t. We shall see."
Senator Robinson said he expected to
have considerable support for the in
vestigation resolution. but would not
indicate where it would come from. The
same declaration was made by Assem-
blyman Steinberg. who said that for
obvious reasons It would not be wise
at this time to intimate where they
would get their support
In view of the fact that the five bor-
| ough leaders all have expressed them
selves as believing 1t would be mis-
! take to make a martyr OF Mayor Hylan,
there has been considerable speculation
as to where Senator Robinson and As
semblyman Steinberg would get any
support They believe. however. that
in the course of a few weeks the in
creasing revelations OF weakness in the
Hylan administration will lead to a
popular demand for an investigation that
cannot be withstood.

Wages Up, Efficiency Down.

"Wages have doubled and efficiency
has lessened TO such an extent that when
averaged UP one finds that 1t costs three
or four times as much to build house
now as in 1916. think. however, that
IN recent months the efficiency of labor
has increased. Labor insists that the
high wages paid in the last fifteen
months shall be maintained, and think
that the workers have right to insist
upon this unless living costs are reduced.
1--WE are approaching period when
living costs will be reduced. When that
time comes labor must share its part"
Senator Calder said that In France
the situation has become 30 bad the Gov
ernment has offered TO builders so per
cent. of the cost OF construction IL they
would only get busy and construct
BONES. In England. he added, the Gov
ernment Is attempting to arrange for the
construction Of 100000 workingmen's
houses
our activities have been directed
with the idea Of extending facilities to
private initiative rather than giving sub
eldes and rather than celebrating gov
ernmental organization for construction"
he concluded. Would II not be better
TO act now than to walt and have the
people of America rise up In discomfort
and demand that the Government go into
the building business?"

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. c., Dec. 90.
In a speech to the Senate to-day Sem
ator Calder On. ". chairman of the
Special Committee on Reconstruction,
supplemented his report upon housing
conditions by challenging the attention
of the Senate to the need for serious
consideration not only of the housing
problem, but of many allied questions
into which his committee is inquiring.
Emphasizing the specific recommended
tions made in his preliminary report,
Senator Calder gave notice that he
would introduce bill soon to provide
that so per cent. of savings deposits in
national banks, which he said now total
s., 900 900, may be lent on mortgage
securities
In my Judgment he said. "the sta
bility of these banks will not be affected
by such a policy. In the long run they
will be more secure, for there Is no in
vestment safer than first mortgages on
homes.
THE shortage of homes is as serious
in small as well as larger cities. 1t
exists even in villages, and this applies
to every part of the country.
Wherever the committee has held
hearings people have travelled hundreds
of miles to testify as to unfavorable
building conditions in their respective
communities" he continued. They
have complained of money shortage.
building materials costs and lack of
transportation for building materials
U. $. Facing New Situation.
Senator Calder said that the country
was facing an entirely new business sit
uaton, wages and other costs being
higher.
while there ought to be a substan'
tial reduction in every commodity, build
ing construction prices will never get
back to where they were before ne oo-
clared.
The New York Senator said that the
special committee urges the creation OF
a home loan banking system in line with
our farm loan banks. Under the bill
proposed. he said. there would be estab'
lishcd in each Federal reserve district
banks to be organized with capital oi
not less than 100000 stock TO be sub

':Idols of Clay" at Criterion,
Played Well, but Plot
Is Not Plausible
BY Harriette Underhill

Dulcinea wrote the titles for "Idols
Of Clay" the feature picture which
opened at the Criterion yesterday. Her
name does not appear on the pro-
gram, but she can't fool u.s.. In one
title she says: 1.-THE Calm After the
Storm. Well, Every Cloud Has a Sill
yer Lining" Yes, Dulcie. and it's al
ways darkest before dawn, too, as the
hero and heroine should have remem-
bered.
Of course, when thousands Of plots
are required any year to be thrown 20
the fans to appease them, all Of them
can't be plausible, but it does seem that
Idols of Clay" goes just little bit
too far. But, there, we shall not be an
iconoclast
George Fit2maurice directed the pic
ture in which Mae Murray and David
Powell are co-starred. Aside from the
story and the titles we have no fault to
find with the production. Miss Murray
charm will wipe out any resentment
you might feel toward an impossible
heroine. She makes you almost believe
in Faith Merrill.
In his dissolute moments MIR. Powell
was at his best, which is very good in
deed. We didn't caro- 80 much for his
very good young man, who, the title
says, met a wicked woman. Just how
wicked she was comes out later, and
you'd be surprised
Does any man who isn't half-witted d
fall to his knees and cry and shout and
then jump up and denounce woman and
renounce God because the lady in whom
he is interested throws him over
Well, anyway, it sends him away into
the South Sea Islands to meet the
heroine, Faith, and just when you think
that the picture is going to end with
the usual sort Of thing the hero goes
away and leaves Faith.
That, then, is where the story really
starts, and it. is interesting in spite of
everything. Faith follows her hero to
London and falls into the clutches of
the adventures, and we were so glad
of it. because it gave Miss Murray a
chance to do some wonderful acting
and to introduce remarkable dance.
We never saw anything just like it,
even in Mecca"
You see, Faith was 80 innocent that
she didn't know she shouldn't go about
without any clothes. She sort of got
used to it in the South Sea Isles. We
only know one other person who could
do it as successfully as Miss Murray.
That is Nazimova, perhaps.

Symphony in Sunday Concert

The third concert in the Sunday nf-
ternoon series of the New York Sym
rhony Orchestra yesterday marked
something of pause in the indefati
gable labors of Director Walter Dam
rosch for public education and the
quest Of the recondite.
There were no novelties, though the
Hayden Violin Concerto in c, which
was played by MIR. Raoul Vidas, nc
companied by Mr.. Damrosch at the
piano, in addition to the orchestra, is
rot work often found OF concert
lists. 1t was undertaken by Mr.. Vidas
IN a robust manner in keeping with its
spirit. He is young violinist of en-
gaging qualities. While they do not
include either q large tone or great
warmth of temperament, they do in
clude sincerity and q clean-cut style.
The other numbers on the program
were the Mozart "Nachtmusik." re-

Rianoforte Selections Ham

i'm an Enhancing Manner
BY H. E. Krehbiel

There was concert in the Cort The
ater yesterday afternoon which out
lined over 160 years of music for in
struments now represented by the pi-
anoforte, yet gave its audience nothing
to hear more modern than compost
tions by Johann Sebastian Bach. The
concert lasted an hour and fifty min
utes, and yet at the end nobody seemed
weary, and when the hearers reached
the street some of them were oveT-
heard whistling the theme of the last
movement of the old Leipsic cantor's
Concerto in D for harpsichord, flute
and violin.
1t is doubtful if ever an audience
left musical comedy in so blithe and
jocund humor. The concert was in
the strictest sense of the word his
torical and therefore an educational
affair, and Harold Bauer, who planned
and tried with as muc success as is
obtainable in these days to make it
sound as it sounded to the composers
of the music and the people who first
heard it.
Therein lay much of it's charm
therein, and also in the fact that he
played his pianoforte in the manner in
which its predecessors OF the keyboard
quilted family used to be played. The
instrument was a concert-grand, but
this did not lead ffm to pound and
belabor it, instead he caressed it. His
fingers, like those Of the Dark Lady
to whom Shakespeare addressed one of
his sonnets, walked over the keys with
gentle gait, whether slowly or swift
iy, and tones of marvellous clarity and
sweetness answered to every touch.
Audience Held in Spell
He held his audience as in spell
and made it realize that &here was ap-
