New York Business Men
Urge Port Treaty Action
Governor Smith Inti,nates That
Plans First Should Be APP
proved by City Officials
From a Staff Correspondent


ALBANY, Feb. ia delegation of
New York City business men, headed
by Alfred E. Merling, president of the
Chamber of Commerce of the State of
New York, this afternoon urged upon
Governor Smith the necessity Of imme-
diate ratification of the New York-New
Jersey port treaty. Assistant Corpo-
ration Counsel Edward McGoldrick
asked why it was necessary to approve
the treaty before the physical plan had
been presented and adopted, saying the
Board of Estimate and Corporation
Counsel Of the city now had the matter
before them.
"The plans will not be completed by
the Port and Harbor Development Com
MISSION" replied Mr.. Merling, before
July L., which would mean that there
would be no legislation by New York
or New jersey until next year. years
delay would result in New Jersey going
ahead with its own plans. Competing
cities, like Boston, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and New Orleans, are now spread
ing the report that New York has all
the trade it can handle. Therefore fur
ther delay means the loss to the Port of
New York of valuable trade"
Governor Smith said he was in SYM
pathy with the movement, but indicated
he thought the plans should first be
approved by the City of<New York. He
expressed. Che belief that the Port and
Harbor Development Commission was
responsible for the opposition of the
Board Of Estimate and Apportionment
by creating the impression that a plan
Of development would first be submitted
before the board would be asked to ap-
prove any treaty. He said legislative
leaders had indicated to him that they
would not pass a treaty without the
approval of the New York City authori-
ties. He declared that as New York had
a much greater interest in the treaty
than the state, it should contain the
broadest possible grant Of power to

Change in Law
Asked to Help
!. Accused Girls
Amendment Prepared to
Prevent Conviction of
Women i'm Vice Cases
on Police Testimony
Aims to End ssFrame-Up''
Alleged S'Sneaky' Methods
of Detectives Denounced
by Mrs. Bres, Lawyer

An amendment to the vagrancy
laws, making the conviction of a woman
on vice charges impossible on the un-
corroborated testimony Of plainclothes
policemen, is being prepared for sub
mission to the Legislature by Mrs.
Rose Falls Bres, q member Of the
legislative committee Of the State Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs.
The recent reversal by Judge Wad--
hams in Special Sessions Of the convic-
tion of girl in Magistrate Jean Nor
ris's court brought the subject to q
head, Mrs. Bres, who practices law at
291 Broadway, said yesterday. She
and f. S. Garrett, a lawyer Of $50
Broadway, drew the amendment. Mrs
Olive Gabriel, ex-president Of the
Woman Lawyers Association and as
sociate Republican leader Of the nth
District, is supporting the move, it was
stated.
Underhand Methods Denounced
u believe in a proper performance
Of their duty on the part Of policemen
and detectives" said Mrs. Bres. "It
is this sneaky, underhand method en-
ployed by the plainclothes men, who
want to get as many arrests as possi
bio and really frame girls, that is op-
posed No woman was ever made good
citizen by being railroaded through
the Women's Court.
"The policemen often are the Of
tenders themselves. They do the So
hciting, not the girls. Mrs. Norris has
said in explaining her stand on the
decision which Judge Wadhams re-
versed that she took the word of the
officers because she believed them good
men, with families. She took their
word rather than the girls, even
though they admitted having fed her
intoxicants. Then a more kindly man
reversed her decision.
ga girl is brought into court. She
may be declared innocent But the
stigma remains. 1t is the beginning,
and it is not her fault if a combination
of outside opinions and actions lead
her astray. And as the law stands, her
only salvation is IN the Judge. Ii he, or
She fails her, the uncorroborated tes-
timonv nj the officers making the ar
rest IS sufficient 10 convict her. That
Is what We want to prevent"
Mancuso Defends Vice Squad
Magistrate Francis X. Mancuso issued
a statement yesterday defending the
Women's Court and the police vice
squad against the criticisms of Judge
W Wadhams. asserted the detectives re.
sorted to provocation to make out their
case.
There is no court" said Magistrate
Mancuso. where the rights of women
are better protected than in the
Women's Court
Il never rave known of an innocent
woman convicted here. That is. the.
best answer I can give to charges. Of
laxity on the part of magistrates.,c1s%s,i,
Judge Wadhams has stated that. the
policemen have used the city money
III order to secure evidence. | think
that it is impossible to get convictions
unless the public moneys are expended

January Pay Still Due
500 Bellevue Nurses
Last Money Received Was for
Services Rendered City Dur
ing December

Although other employees Of Belle
vue Hospital have received their pay
for January, the 500 or more nurses,
student and graduate, employed by
the city there have not received their
checks, it became known yesterday
DR.. George O'Hanlon, superintendent
of Bellevue, confirmed the report, but
said that the delay is due chiefly to
the extra clerical work resulting from
the increased salary schedules allowed
the nurses for this year. He denied
that he had received any complaints
coming from the nurses.
ut Is expected that the nurses will
receive their pay for January in two
or three days. the superintendent
said. ut Is not literally true, how
ever, that the nurses have not been
paid for fifty days. They were paid on
January II for services rendered dur
ing December"
Or. O'Hanlon admitted that the sys-
tenn of pay by which the nurses have
been accustomed to receiving their
checks two weeks late each month has
caused dissatisfaction.
