Big Hotels Will Keep
l0-Celnt Telephone Rate
Public Service Board Order To
Be Ignored for Present.
at Least

Hotel rates for local telephone calls
Will continue to be 10 cents in spite of
a decision OF the Public Service Com
mission of the I'd District, handed
down at Albany on Tuesday, forbidding
hotels and apartment houses to fix
rates for telephone service other than
those on file with the commission.
Managers Of some of the big hotels
SAID yesterday that they intended to
take no action in reducing their rates
to flve cents until they had been legally
advised to do So
1t was estimated that about 100 OO0
calls day are sent from hotels at the
lo-cent rate. A so per cent reduction
would mean an aggregate loss to the
hotels of about $4,000 day.
We understand from newspaper re-
ports that the telephone company is
allowed until Nav l to file new
schedule effective June l." said Charles
!: Campbell, counsel for the Hotel
Mems Association. "Of course, until
that time the present rate will be con-
tlnued. If the telephone company can
make contracts with the hotels which
viii enable US to sell calls at five cents
Eve probably will be glad of it. At
present, with the investment in wiring
and special service eiven guests, the
hotels cannot afford to furnish a five
cen. rate"

From a stor corresponeA,,

ALBANY, March 17.-The abolish.
ment of capital punishment in this
state was advocated this afternoon at
the hearing before the Senate Codes
Committee on the Boylan-pellet bill
There was no opposition to the bill
and the committee indicated it would
report the measure favorably.
In let9 to the introducers of the
bill, .which~%as read, former Attorney
General William S. jackson said: ~
hasten to contribute my mite. Through
out the years of my experience with
the penal law l have come to the con-
clusion that capital punishment is a
relic Of antiquity and should be abol-
ished.r
Charles F. Rattigan, Superintendent
OF PRISONS, who was unable to attend
the nearing. sent statement to SEN
ator boylan putting himself on record
as in favor OF the bill.
IN my opinion" said Leon c. Vein
stock, vice-president of the State Prison
Commission, continuance Of capital
punishment means an extension of bar
barity"
MIR. Weinstock expressed the opinion
that the pardon power, now held by
the Governor, should be transferred to
the Court of Appeals. Spencer Miller,
former deputy warden of Sing Sing,
who appeared for the National Com,
mittee on Prison Reform, declared that
statistics showed that abolishment of
capitA punishment has had salutary
effect in all states where it has been
adopted.
David H. Knott, Sheriff Of New York
County, said that although he was sup
posed to attend the execution of his
prisoners at Sing Sing he had refused
because Of his objection to the death
penalty: Others who appeared for the
bill included Howard Clark Barber, sec

tion of Crime; Mischa Applebaum,
president Of the Humanitarian Cult;
James R.. McAlphee, representing the
