Hylan Tells Contractors
He'll Force Gas Supply

Mayor Hylan yesterday told dele.
CATION of builders and contractors
from the Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst and
Grayesend sections of Brooklyn. who
have been refused gas for their build
ings by the Kings County Lighting
Company, that they would get gas, be
cause he would find way of getting il
for them. After listening to the com
plainants for half an hour, the Mayor
sent for Corporation Counsel Burr
who briefly explained the situation tc
the Mayor. ,.
Mr.. Burr suggested two methods OF
procedure. either to apply to the Pub
he Service Commission or apply to the
Supreme Court for writ of mandamus
to compel the company to provide serv-
ice. The Public Service Commission
issued an order about two weeks ago d.
recting the company to supply service
but the order has been ignored.
The Mayor finally directed the Cor.
poration Counsel to assign an assistant
to the case and take it up with District
Attorney Harry E. Lewis. of Brook
Ign. and see if it could not be present
ed to the grand jury of Kings County
The Mayor said he believed the refusal
of the company to supply gas consti.
tuted a penal offense. but, in the event
it was found there was no such law, he
directed the Corporation Counsel to
prepare a bill for the enactment of
such n law. The Mayor said he per-
sonaily Would "a TO Albany and advo-

Shoe Prices To Be Cut
BY New York Retailers
Reduction of From 5 to 10 Per
Cent viii Be Made, Associa-
tons President Saws

New York retailers are working on a
plan whereby the cost of footwear will
be reduced. John J. Slater, president
OF the Retail Shoe Dealers Association
Of Greater New York, yesterday mott
fled Arthur Williams, Federal Food Adj
ministrator, that his association is
about to make a cut in the price Of all
standard non-fancy conservative shoes.
with the exception of those made on
special lasts. The price Of the latter
VII remain unchanged.
Leading shoe retailers held a meet
ing at the Bush Terminal Building last
Friday and the question of changing
present prices was discussed. The deal
ers, although no announcement was
made. voted for the reduction, but did
not fix the amount. Another meeting
VIII be held at the Bush Terminal
building to-day. At this meeting. Mr.
Slater said, the dealers will decide on
what percentage of their profits thew
will take off the prices of shoes.
At the Office of Food Administrator
Williams, it was said the reduction
probably would amount to from to 10
per cent of the present retail prices A
few of the smaller dealers handlinp
staple lines already have reduced Their
prices from to 10 per cent. and il is
the opinion of the trade that the shoe
prices from now on will decline rather
than mount upward

gagged a room for her. That night, she
says, he came to see her, ostensibly to
deliver message from her husband,
and attempted to embrace her. She
struggled-she showed her torn cloth
ing to illustrate the violence of the en-
counter--and "Mr. Lithgow" went out.
After that she feared him, but more
him lest he refuse to take her to her
husband, so when he said that visiting
the hospital on Sunday was out of the
question she acquiesced. Yesterday
morning, however, "Mr. Lithgow" said
that they would go to the hospital just
as soon as they could get the necessary
order from the judge.
Still oppressed by her dominant idea,
Mrs. Hellquest assented without ques-
ing where, "Mr. Lithgow" said, the
judge had his Office. Whether the office
building was in Paterson or New York,
Mrs. Hellquest doesn't know. At the
entrance "Mr. Lithgow,' she said, told
her it would look better if he went in
alone and again she fell in with his
suggestion.
"Mr. Lithgow's" Idea
But if he went in alone. "Mr. Lith-
gov" said, according to the young
woman, how would the judge know that
she really was Frcds VIE? Mrs He'll
quest didn't know, but a bright idea
struck "Mr Lithgow." He PROFOUND I'd
it at once. If he had Mrs. Heliquest's
engagement ring land wedding ring
why the. judge would know that he
represented Fred's wife and would is
sue the order admitting them to the
hospital.
Without question. Mrs. Hellquest
stripped a 1925 diamond ring and her
wedding ring from the third finger
of her left hand and intrusted them,
she said, to "Mr. Lithgow." He en-
tered the building. She waited outside.
She waited several hours. He did not
emerge. She entered and made STUN
bling inquiries MS to "Mr. Lithgow"
and the judges chambers. AS she is
deaf she did not catch the full sig
nif1cance of the replies perhaps, but
she gathered that no judge had an
office in the building Some one di-
rected her TO Brooklyn, she said and
here she was. Had anything been
heard from Fred?

PHILADELPHIA, March 22.-Smil-

ences in the last few years. Harry
Schmidt, soldier Of fortune left the
Eastern Penitentary this afternoon
with 60 cents in his pocket. He was
serving sentence of from eighteen
months to ten years for obtaining
money under false pretenses.
Schmidt was the victim of an nm
usual error. He was sentenced in 1914
to mot less than eighteen months nor
more than two years." but a court
clerk wrote "ten years" instead of
two years." and thus tho official rec
ord stood until the wrong was discoy
cred recently
After serving the eighteen months
Schmidt was released on parole. He
broke the regulations when he enlisted
IN the French army. He served two
years, was wounded several times and
was captured by the Germans. He
escaped, returned to this country and
enlisted in the American army. While
at training camp he was absent with
out leave and was sentenced to seven
years at Fort Leavenworth This nun
lshment, however. was committed to
six months.
Eastern Penitentiary authorities
traced nm, and he was brought to this
city to serve the remainder of his
ten-year sentence. Through efforts Of
Edward Kelly. his former employer
from whom he obtained the money on

send him to jail his release was OBJ
tanned. His term would not have cx

Porter Accused
OF Threatening
Two Detectives
Superseding Indictment Is
Filed Against Former
Police Official; Pleads
Not Guilty to Charges
Smith Assails Enright
Prosecutor Resents State
ment That Trial Is q Bluff
and Demands Early Date

Augustus Drum Porter until his in
dctment and removal Third Deputy
Police Commissioner, appeared before
Judge Malone in General Sessions yes
terday and pleaded not guilty to the
grand jury's charges of neglect Of
duty.
Following Colonel Porter's arraign-
ment. superseding indictment was
filed similar to the original one, but
containing an additional count alleging
that an implied threat was made to
Detectives Sorger and Wheelwright,
the two plain clothes men who testified
against Porter, when they attempted to
put Porter under arrest in their raid
on an alleged 'disorderly fat at 1924
West Ninety-sixth Street, where, they
testified, they found Porter with
woman. The new count charges that
Porter warned the detectives not to
arrest him because he was their supe-
rior officer
Colonel Porter probably will be ar
ralgned on the superseding indictment
to-day.
The former police officials arar1gn-
ment yesterday was marked by clashes
between Assistant District Attorney
James E. Smith, in charge of the prose-
cution, and Frank Hendrick, attorney
for Colonel Porter. Mr.. Smith also
assalled Police Commissioner Enright
without, however, mentioning the
Police Commits sioner's name.
Mr.. Hendrck asked for ten days
time in which to make necessary
motions and possibly to inspect the
grand lury's minutes. When he in
sisted on this over Mr.. Smiths pro-
lcaped to his feet and shouted:
Your honor, Mr. Hendrck gave out
a statement to the papers in which he
SAID that this case was not intended to
be moved for trial. We want to bring
1t TO- trial Immediately. His motion
would delay it. ask your honor to
set Thursday Of this week, when all
motions must be made. Justice de-
mands that this be done.
IF this is done it will stop certain
public officials going around making
speeches in public places to the effect
that an organized gang is trying to be-
little the police force. That official
forgot that the gang was 90 per cent
OF the decent people of New York"
Mr.. Smiths last remark was inter-
preted as a reply to statements made
by Commissioner Enright in an address
last Sunday
4 am not to be frightened by the
man at Police Headquarters. con-
tinucd Mr. Smith. 81 say, if they get
away with this case the ends of Justice
Will not have been served"
Judge Malone set Thursday for hear
ing motions. Colonel Porter's bail was
continued at $1,000.

Uncle Sam Turns
Advisory Chef for
Save-On-Meat Week
Department of Justice Gives
Recipe for Savory Pot
Roast; Menu To-day Will
Include Succulent Oxtails

Food Administrator Arthur Williams,
announced yesterday that "Save Money
on Meat Week" opened auspiciously
with the posting of thousands of
placards by butchers urging women to
reduce the price of meat by buying Gin
expensive" cuts
Pot roast with vegetables was eaten
yesterday. Mr.. Williams said, the
money-savers on meat consuming three
or four pounds of chuck roast with one
cup Of SLICED carrots, one cup of sliced
onions, one cup of celery (cut in
pieces), one cup Of sliced turnips and
three tahlespoonfuls of fat preferably
salt pork. This was to be taken at
meal time
To-day they will eat pot roast and
hearts; Thursday, lamb stew and
chopped meat; Friday, veal stew and
sausage meat, and Saturday, corned
beef and chuck roast. This program
prohibits the use Of tcnderloin, porter
house, sirloin, prime ribs, spring lamb
and the like, so that by Sunday, when
Save Money on Meat Week" will end.
people still can 60 on saving money by
buying up the accumulation of choicer
cuts, which probably will be selling
cheap by that time.
Edith G. Strauss, director of womcn's
activities in the Department of Justice,
is giving out a Federal recipe for each
day. The Department of Justice rec
pe for the pot roast, which is per-
United to-day, advises that if the meat
has disintegrated, skewers or ordinary
cord be used to reassemble it,
Then it should be busted off with a
damp cheesecloth and rolled in flour,
care being taken to observe the proper
order of events. Vegetables should be
placed in just enough sailed water
to cover them and placed upon the fire
where. the Department of Justice says,
they presently will come to boil
The resulting boil should not be in
terfered with until it is soft. Then it
should be rubbed in coarse straner
I he fat, in the opinion of the Depart
ment of Justice, should be heated, pref
erably in frying pan or iron kettle
with cover. When the fat is hot the
meat is introduced and becomes brown.
the Department of Justice. transfer
the meat, after it is brown. to a
kettle, unless the pan is deep enough
to hold the beef
The vegetables and their liquid are
poured over the meat, which is COW
cred tightly and allowed to simmer
four or five hours and to turn over
twice. The gravy is thickened and
poured on, and there. says the De-
partment of Justice, you have COM
pletely modified pot roast. The De-
partment of Justice permits any sea
soning to be used that is desired but
II the pot roast is cooked in a Dutch
oven 1t is considered wise to stick two
or three cloves in the onion.

milk could be started to New York.
The officials of the league promised to
obtain exact figures as to the ALLEGED
