UNPAID BUILDERS TO
HALT SCHOOL WORK
Eighteen Structures Affected
in Threat Before the
Estimate Board.
CONTRACT Is UNDER FIRE
Mayor Advised Not to Sign
Warrant for S31,031 for
Daniel j. Rice.

six contractors gave notice yesterday
20 the Board of Estimate they would
stop work on eighteen school build
iags II the money due them from the
city is not forthcoming az once. They
cannot go on, they stated, and in
t.rnated suit would be brought to re-
cover losses sustained as Wen as the
money due under contracts.
There is nothing the Board Of Esti-
mate can do, as the warrants were in
yestigated by the law department, APP
proved by the Mayor ana sent to the
Comptroller" Assistant Corporation
Counsel Carswen told the board. The
bills now are in the Comptroller's hands,
and there is no way the board can
force him to take action
Mandamus proceedings against the
Comptroller were suggested but II was
agreed to refer the whole matter back
to the Corporation Counsel for adj
vice. In the list Of schools are one in
Manhattan. nine in Brooklyn, four in
The Bronx, three In Queens and one IN
Richmond
This was one Of the important de-
velopments of an all day hearing held
by the board in its investigation Of
city contracts-the investigation which
the Lockwood Committee has chal-
lenged several times, and which has
been called repeatedly by Samuel I'm
terrnyer "a dreary affair" and a
.awhitewash" once or twice the board
appeared to be leading UP to some
thing which promised sensations, but
the inquiry was quickly steered away
TO safe paths and nothing happened
Warrant Under Suspicion.
The Corporation Counsel advised the
Mayor not 10 sign a warrant for pay
,nents of SS1.0s1 on contract for pub
lie school work. inasmuch as other in
vestigations have shown the contractor
was guilty Of coliusion with other bid
dsrs and of fraud in the making Of the
contract" The Corporation Counsel
named Daniel J. Rice as the contractor
Juana Almirall. member of the firm of
Ainirall & Co, contractors for heating
and ventilating, was questioned regard
ing q heating contract for sea View
Hospital. The witness said he had an
agreement with John T. Hettrick, the
lawyer manipulated, since cancelled
Some men in his own line suggested Het-
ing out labor troubles. the witness said
lie explained the working Of the Hettrick
code as has been shown repeatedly be-
fore the Lockwood committee. He paid
Hettrick $3.50 and I per cent. on con-
tract prices. Almirall said.
Another witness. Joseph J. Goeghegan.
Of Giles 4 Goeghegan. gave similar
testimony, explaining ne had been per-
suaded II would help him TO become
identified with Hettrick. But he quit lac
said. when ne found he was getting moth
ing out of it.
II still think the Hettrick system was
reasonable and fair" the witness went
on. although we did not get our moneys
worth"
He said a meeting of the members OF
The Hettrick ring was called frequently
and anonymously. but prices never were
discussed at the gatherings. The reason
more firms do not bid on city work,
Goeghegan said. is because the munich
pal terms are unattractlve and as rule
contractors lose.

uettricI's Arraianment.

Samuel Jntermyar. samuel A. Ser
ger Kenneth NJ Spence Robert w.
tombstone. and Albert Blogg Cnser. all
of whom are connected with the legal
stair that is handling the building trades
prosecutions, were in tho room await
ing his arrival Mr. Elder opened pro-
ccedings by stating 20 the court that
MS twenty-nine members OF the Cut
stone Contractors Association, which
is Backer's organization, had been re-
leased in $4,000 bail each upon their
arraignment last Friday he expected
his own clients bail 10 be fixed in the
same figure Ii was said Hettrick was
accused in the same indictment with
these twenty-nine individuals and cor
porations. bis name having been the one
that was kept secret last Friday when
the paper was fled with the court
Mr. Untermyer then opened his at
tack by asking that the bail be fixed
al 100000. and by reading the am
davits OF Mr.. Berger and Mr. Spence
which recited that Mr. Hettrick had
appeared as a witness before the Lock
wood Committee on October 20 and
October 81, and had been ordered to
reappear, but instead OF doing so had
gone to his summer residence at Sea
bright, y. j. -
Mr.. Elder argued that it was his
clients privilege to refuse to appear be-
fore the committee Justice McAvoy
did not agree with him in this, but eX-
pressed the opinion that Hettrick had
no right to disobey a summons or order
TO appear before the committee. Justice
McAvoy said 1t would have been Hett-
ricll's privilege TO go before the COM
mittee and then refuse to answer such
questions as might tend 10 incriminate
or degrade him
Mr.. Elder argued that his client had
come into the city yesterday volun-
tarily and was therefore entitled to spe-
cial consideration, but Justice McAvoy
reminded him of the fact that Hettricll
could have been extradited had he not
come in voluntarily
York every sick Man"
In referring TO the disappearance of
York. Hettr cl1's Office manager, Mr..
Berger's affidavit stated that the prose-
cutors had received evidence to indicate
that York is being paid a salary to re-
main out OF the State Mr.. Elder said
York's absence was due TO the fact thai
he was very sick man"
Did his illness develop since the
commencement Of the inquiry Justice
McAvoy asked. Mr.. Elder argued that
this could have no bearing on the mat
appeared that York had been taken sick
and had lett the State with HettriclS at
the time that both men We're wanted as
witnesses by the Lockwood committee
he would be inclined TO regard the mat
ter with suspicion.
They have been stopping In the same
place in New Jersey" Mr.. Untermyer
interposed.
THAT Is not so" pro tested Mr.. Elder.

oIvany Denies Bidding.

Although his name appeared i'm the list
AIKEN from Hettricks files. William J.
Olvany testified he never submitted a bid
through the Hettrick code. His name
vas down as a bidder under the system
on Public School No. 100. but Olvany
said he did not join the Hettrick code
until after the bids were opened.
There was a joker in the contract
which cost him several thousand dollars
the witness said. He was compelled to
put in a more expensive boiler than the
one specified. Olvany said and he was
stuck $4,000" He offered just as good
a boiler as the one specified, but some
one in the heating bureau at the Board
Of Education SHOOK his head" which
meant a certain kind OF boiler had TO be
used. The witness said the tests re-
CURED were Joke" The Board OF 1s-
innate evidently did not care TO find out
what the mysterious headshake in the
Board Of Education meant
Frank J. Fee, president OF the Wells
4 Newton Co, another client OF Hett-
riek's was not much impressed with the
system end did not receive any city
work.
All the contractors insisted they had
only the highest motives in going 70 Hett-
rick and that explanation apparently
vas satisfactory TO the Board OF F,sU-
mate.

CRUsADING FOR THE LEAGUE.
More than a dozen men Of national
prominence, most of them Republi-
cans are crnsading the country for
the League. They will be in Des
Moines next Friday, which will be
their only stop in this state, Harding
spilled the beans in his speech at Des
Moines. BY unqualifiedly turning his
back on the League he drove many
Republicans to turn their back upon
him.
If the campaign against the League
Of Nations were restricted to the
truth it would have collapsed long
ago.

There's a cure for every sadness,
That each troubled mortal finds.
And my little cares grow lighter
And l cease to fret and sigh,
And my eyes with JOY grow brighte
When she makes lemon pie.
When the bronze is on the filling
That's one mass of shining gold
And its molten Joy is splitting
On the plate. my heart grows bold
And the kids and In chorus
Raise one glad exultant cry
And we cheer the treat before us
Which is mothers lemon pie.
Then the little troubles vanish,
And the sorrows disappear,
Then we find the grit to Danish
All the cares that lowered near,
And we smack our lips in pleasure
Ger JOY no coin can buy,
And we down the golden treasure
Which Is known as lemon pie.

What They Mean
DANCING.

TO TREAD THE May" in shad-
i owland; In other words to dream
Of dancing is, all the seers are agreed,
a good sign. Just to dream that you
are attending dance fortells for you
success In love and that you will have
many friends If, indeed, 1t does not
mean as many think, that you have
many now, even II you are not aware
of ii. You had better join In the dream
dance, however, and not be merely an
onlooker; for to dream that you are
dancing yourself Is an omen of many
other good things to come. However
If you dream. that you simply watch
the others doing the minuet, fox-trot,
valse de court twO-step or other
terpsichorean exercise, II Is not very
bad-it only means that you have gone
TO bed tired. But to dream that you,
yourself, are dancing-then, indeed,
are things coming your way.
To begin with, there is the success
In love and friendship. If you are
unmarried, your sweetheart Is kind,
true, and will make you an excellent
wife. II you are married, the dance
of dreamland means an Increase In
the family. Also, all the authorities
agree that for the dream dancer, there
is a legacy impending. Some say a
legacy is probable" but most say
that 1t is sure, and many declare that
It will come from an unexpected
source. To those In trade, the dream
dance means increased profits, and
from the present cost of things 1t Is
quite evident that many tradesmen
have dreamed this dream of late.
To the sailor to dream of dancing
foretells a pleasant and successful
voyage and to one and all 1t foretells
good news from O lOng-absent friend
or from distant country. Just one
caution. Be careful how you dress
yourself for your dance of dreams; for
1t you wear dancing tights, while all
the other good things may come to
you, you will be temporarily short OF
money.
