George and Queen Mary attended
an entertainment last night given
by the servants of Buckingham
Palace. An Irish maid servant
sang "The Wearing of the Green"
with the following variation, pro-
voked by the case of Archbishop

"Oh, Paddy dear, and did you hear
the news that's going around? ?
The Bishop is forbid by law to tread
his native ground"
The house steward in charge of
the entertainment attempted to
prevent the maid from singing.
but the King indicated he wished
her to proceed, and at the conclu-
sion of the song the King re-
marked:
1T is sad song, and I regret
it is so applicable to the present

Mayor Thinks City
Owns Land Involved
I'm Bungalow Fight
Hylan Adds to Complications
Of Rochawuy Point Grab
Dispute; Asks City Coun-
sci 10 Investigate TILES

Mayor Hylan added more fuel yestcr-
day to the controversy over the owner
ship of the land at Rockaway Point,
where, bungalow owners say, the Rock
away Point Company is attempting to
grab" their homes by Imposing i'm
possible conditions in their new land
leases.
In letter to John p. CBrion, Cor
poration Counsel, the Mayor gives a
history Of the patch of lana in dispute,
and declares that. in his opinion the
City of New York Mas better title to
it than the state The land in oues-
tion, he said, is an accrction to what
was formerly Barren Island, that the
title to it remained in the owner of
Barren Island, which was the town of
Flushing, and that the title then passed
TO the City Of New York.
The letter adds.
"The Rockaway Company. CT its
lessons, claims title to this land on the
theory that the bungalows are situated
on land which was formed bv accre-
tions, washed up by the ocean against
Rockaway Point, which was originally
east Of Rockaway Inlet and separated
by that inlet from Barren Island. The
Rockaway Company ignores entirely
the neck of Barren Island, owned bv
the town of Flushing or its grantees,
which barred the way for land formed
oy alleged accretions from RocEawav
Point to the lard now occupied by the
bungalows.
ut is true that there has been con-
siderable litigation concerning this
title, but as the city was not party.
Its title was unaffected thereby. Re
Gently, during the complications aris-
ing from the location OF the fort bv
the United States government in this
n.eeIghborhood, the city has made its
title subservient to that of the State
of New York, but such necessity no
longer exists. The State of New York
has doubtless better title than the
parties through whom the Rockaway
company claims, but recent irvcstiga-
tlon satisfies me that the City Of New
York has even a better title than the
state of New York
"The property in question, I believe.
belongs to the city and, if it does. the
bungalow owners there are on city
property and are tenants OF the city.
i wish you would make a thorough
investigation and take whatever legal
act1on is necessary to protect the city's
rights"

Germany Cuts Car Service

BERLIN, Aug. Lowing to the
enormous increase in the cost of oper-
alton, strcetcar service in many of the
smaller German cities has been disccn-
tlnued, Jena, Wuerzburg, Freiberg and
Hebron are among the towns trying
now to get along without trans. At.
tempts were made to keep the lines
going by radical increases in fares.
but the public, unable to pay the price,
took to walking.
Berlin and other large cities, where
streetcar traffic has fallen off alarm
lngly because OF increased fares, are
facing the problem Of reorganizing the
service, retaining only those lines
which are absolutely necessary for the
accommodation of persons having to
travel long distances, wagons and
carts brought out to give a lift to
pedestrians during recent strikes of
streetcar employees have indicated
which routes through Berlin are vital
for transportation.
