$lOO,973 in Month,
Delaney Testifes
Improvement in Dr,cennber
Traffic Follows Deficit
of S67,O45 i'm November:
Million Lost i'm Half Year

John II. Delaney, Transit Construc-
ton Commissioner, added his testi-
mony yesterday to that produced at the
last hearing before the Board of Esti-
mate in the traction Investigation. to
the effect that the Interl arough Rapid
Transit Company was making money
az present in the operation of the sub
say. IN answer to inquiries, Commits
sloner Delaney said the report of re-
suits OF operations of the subway di-
vision of the Interborough company's
system disclosed that during last De-
cember the company earned all its
charges under the provisions of it's
operating contract with the city and
showed surplus Of $10O,973.
Commissioner Delaney said that this
result, showing the existing fare had
neen sufficient to pay all obligations
due to the fact that subway patronage
had shown considerable increase Dur
ing the preceding month the Inter
borough deficit was $67,O45
Revenue from all sources for subway
operation during December was So
S94S,521. Deductions for operating eX-
pense, rentals, maintenance and de-
probation for the month amounted to
Sl,o8O,391. The company's preferential
OF S527,916, as we'll as interest on it's
contributions to the cost of construc-
ton and equipment and interest on all
other charges, aggregating 1867 ,156, was
earned. After all these deductions had
been made there was surplus of $780,
973, said Mr.. Delaney.
From July / to December 81, 1919.
there was a deficit between earnings
and lnterborough deductions under the
terms of the contract Of $1,145,412. The
deficit prior to that time aggregated
$2,225 ,483. Under the terms Of the con-
tract between the city and the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit Company this
deficit will have to be provided for
before the city can begin to receive pay
ment of interest on city money ad-
vanced under Contract No. 3.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 12.-The
four daily newspapers of this city.
"The Register" "The TimesLeader"
and "The Union" which are afternoon
papers, and "The Journal Courier" a
morning paper, announced in their
issues to-day that they would have to
suspend publication because of an
abrogation of an agreement with the
publishers by the composing room en-
ployees.
For several days employees in the
composing rooms have been quitting
their jobs after the fashion of the
"vacationist" book and job press
printers in the recent strike in New
York, and this morning, it is alleged, a
walking delegate urged the few re-
naming men to walk out. The en-
ployees demand substantial increase
IN wages regardless of an agreement
under which they are to work for $50
week until May l and for S33 there
after. Efforts are being made to ad-
just the dispute and an advance in
wages is said to have been offered by
the newspapers.
Contract Violation Charged
Afternoon newspapers made their
appearance without news or advertisr-
ments, carrying instead this announce
ment:

the violation by the Typographical

Practically every employee in the
composing rooms of all the papers left

the walking delegate are evidence of
a conspiracy. An appeal has been made
to the International Typographical

Hylan's Right to End
Examiners Board Denied
Abolishing of Adjunct of the
Educational Department Is
Called Unconstitutional

In the opinion of the executive COM
mittee Of the Civil Service Reform As
sociation, legislation abolishing the
board of examiners of the Department
OF Education, as suggested by Mayor
Hylan, would be clearly unconstitu-
tional. Nelson S. Spenser, chairman
OF the association, has sent letter to
the Mayor calling his attention to the
provision of the Constitution in Article
Y, Section 8, which requires competi-
tive examinations for appointments in
the civil service Gncluding the teach
ing force) of the state, wherever prac-
ticable. Mr.. Sponsors letter follows:
I'VE respectfully ask your attention
to the manifest unconstitutionality of
any legislation such as you surgost n
your letter t. tie Corporation Counsel
conce ming appointments of teachers
upon a mere Ajgh school and traini,n-
school examination. The constitution
provides that appointments in the civil
service shall be made as result of
competitive examination as far as
practlcable. That competition is prac-
tlcable has been proved by actual op-
Grafton of such system for more than
thirty years. During all this period
the public education law has recog-
nized and provided for the enforcement
of this constitutional provision.
"Thc examinations for diplomas are
not competitive, nor is it possible that
the standard Of examination in the
various schools should be uniform. BY
the elimination of the element of com
petition the real test of efficiency for
appointment to the teaching force will
be destroyed and the present standard
OF character and ability of the teach
ing force will inevitably be degraded
Not only that, but appointments will
imme ediately be made on a basis of fa
voritism-a situation to which the
schools, of all our institutions, can
least afford to be subjected We are
confident that the enactment of anv
such law as you suggest would produce
confusion which would be most dis
astrous, pending it's ultimate nullifca
ton as unconstitutional and void bv
the judgment of the courts"

The sermon was preached by the
Very Rev. lgnatius Smith, national
director of the Holy Name Societies.
who spoke of the splendid war record
OF the Holy Name members and pointed
TO the organization as one worthy of
identification with the police force of
large city. He touched on the recent
conviction of two policemen on burg
larry charges, when he said:
"The country looks to New York
Tor inspiration for things in law and
order. The New York cop who dis
graces his badge does more than stain
himself
Refers to McCauliffe's Death
Father Smith moved the policemen
70 tears on one occasion, when he re-
1erred to the tragic death of Patrol
man McCaullffe, who was shot and
Killed three years ago while on duty.
DO you remember him, BOYS ?" the
priest asked, and dozen voices
answered lron the pews.

continued, tears streaming down his

Influenza Cases
And Deaths Show
Gradual Decline
DR.. Copeland Says Epidemic
Is Vanishing So Rapidly
He Will Discontinue Stag
gcred' Hour Order Soon

There was further dwndling in
influenza cases yesterday. New cases
of influenza and pneumonia reported
were 16S less than the total tabulated
for the preceding day, and deaths
from both diseases showed decline of
forty-seven. While the epidemic is
still accountable for much Of the i'll
ness in the city, it is declining with
a reasonable certainty that the cases
will continue to drop until normal
conditions are attained
Dr. Royal S. Copeland said yester
day that he expected a gradual falling
off to be consistently maintained. He
urged everyone to continue to take
precautions, avoid wet feet and use
every reasonable safeguard to keep
we'll. From figures received late yes
terday afternoon he predicted further
drop in new cases and deaths for to-
day.

The Health Commissioner said yes
tcrday that he expected to issue an
order in the next few days discontinue
ing the staggered" hour system of
business opening. This step would be
taken, he said, because of the dropping
in the epidemic cases and the feeling
that such a precaution was no longer
necessary.
Rush Hour Crush Relieved
Because of the lessening of the
crowds in the subway, due to the plan
and the distributing Of the crush hour"
over longer period, DR.. Copeland said
that Frank Hedley, president of the
Peterborough had informed him that
the system would be more beneficial
for the transportation companies if
continued permanently.
The Health Commissioner said that
while he believed any scheme to avoid
the heavy crushes of the rush hour
would be better for the health of the
people of the city, the Department of
Health, except in emergencies, such as
epldemics, could only make suggestions
and had no power to establish any
