By Hirshfield

Justify All Expenses
Deny Charge That Hornaday
Rules Like an Autocrat';
Praise His Democracy

The executive committee Of the Board
Of Managers Of the New York zo5log-
ical Society, in statement issued yes
terday, answered the charges contained
in the report Of David Hirshfield, Com
missioner Of Accounts, regarding tee
management Of the New York Zoolog-
ical Park.
Commissioner Hirshfield in his re-
port charged that the Geological Park
is maintained by the city ct heavy
turn, and Director William T. Horna-
day ruled the Zoo like an autocrat. All
charges of the Commissioner of Ac.
counts are answered in detail.
"1he society,"" reads the statemen!
Of the executive committee, deeply re.
sents the Unfair treatment which it has
received and feels that the membership
should be made aware Of the fact and
in this connection, the society calls
attention to the long continued agree.
able relations which have existed be.
tween the society and the city, extend
ing over period Of more than quar-
ter Of century and existing despite
the variety Of political control which
has been represented in turn by the
Republican, Fusion and Democrat |,
parties.
Director Defended
"The inquiry Of Commissioner
Hirshfield was an ex parte and one
sided affair. The alleged facts were ob.
tanned in many instances from dis
charged employees who had been re-
moved for incompetency or other suf-
fcient reasons"
In answer to the charge that Direc-
tor Hornaday "rules like an autocrat,'
the executive committee says: 1.-THE
director is one of the most democratic
and approachable men in the world; has
devoted his life to the service of the
public and the furtherance of public
interests in the protection of wild life
and in making the park an agreeable
and delightful place Of resort for all
the people.
1.-THE report of Commissioner Hirsh-
field opens with q statement that the
city has expended up to December 81,
1913, $2,676,194.33 for care and main
tenance and $2,194,746.76 for construc-
ton of buildings and improvements,
and that the city has paid for prac-
tically all the buildings, enclosures and
pavilions in the Geological Park the
implication being that the Geological
Park has cost the city a large sum
of money without adequate return.
"The report does injustice to the
society in that it fails to point out
that twenty.six buildings, dens, cages
and aviaries with which the Geological
Park was opened to the public in
November, 1899. has been paid for bv

creases they hsve asked, or IN fact any
advances ct all. Speaker Sweet an
nounced last week that the Rules Conn
n1ittee would take charge Of all pend
ing legislation on April 5. This means
that there will be scramble this week
on the part OF introducers Of various
bills which have been lingering in
committee to discharge these commit
tees from further consideration.
Beer Measure in Doubt
What happens after the hearing on
Tuesday on the light wine and beer
bill will determine whether Colonel
Ransom H. Gillett will move to dis
charge the Excise Committee from
further consideration of his $50 beer
measure.
Pressure has been brought to bear
on Speaker Sweet to permit the bill to
come out on the floor to be voted on
instead Of forcing the motion to dis
charge, but what his final attitude will
be is not known. He has announced
his opposition to any beer and wine
legislation.
If the Excise Committee does not re-
port out the bill on Wednesday morning,
Colonel Gillett probably will move to
discharge on that day. To discharge a
committee requires seventy-six votes.
Colonel Gillett declares he has seventy
four pledged and that he will not have
any trouble in getting the two needed.
There is much speculation as to
whether the Assembly Judiciary Com
mittee will 60 through with the inves-
tigaton of alleged violations of law
in the Anti-Saloon League. But neither
Speaker Sweet nor the committee has
any choice in the unanimous order of
the Assembly that the leagues super
intendent, William H. Anderson, be
hailed before it for his attacks on men,
bers.
Fight to Save Welfare Bills
A determined effort will be made to
keep out of the clutches of the Rules
Committee the minimum wage and the
eight-hour day bills, for which the
women's joint legislative conference
has been fighting for weeks.
They were killed last year by Speaker
Sweet in the Rules Committee, after
they were passed by the Senate over
the opposition of Mark A. Daily, the
Buffalo lobbyist.
1t is expected that the only chance
to save them this year will be a sue
cessful fight on the floor on a motion
to discharge the Labor and Industry
Committee from further consideration
of them. The sponsors of the measures
in the lower house, Assemblymen Theo-
dore Roosevelt and William T. Simpson,
want to make such motions this week.
1t was the effort to kill this legis-
lation that caused the League of
Women Voters to lodge charges
against Mark DAILY and his associates
the Legislature
About the only welfare legislation
that is likely to get through at. this
session is the bill of Senator John
knight extending the .workmens COM

From d Staff Correspondent


ALBANY, March 2s.-The fate of the
FIVE Socialist Assemblymen will be de-
cided this week and the Legislature
will settle down to steady grind of leg
islation during the few weeks remain
ing Of the session.
The majority and minority reports
OF the Assembly Judiciary Committee,
which has been trying the Socialists,
will be submitted to the Assembly
probably on Tuesday. The vote may
be taken on Thursday. There is prac-
tically no interest in what the Judi
ciary Committee will report, however,
for the friends of Speaker Sweet de-
clare they have the necessary votes to
GUST all five accused men, regardless
Of what the findings may be.
1t has been predicted for weeks that
the majority report will recommend
the oustirg of the five, as proposed by
counsel for the prosecution who have
charged that the Socialist party is
party of traitors and that therefore
the five Assemblymen, Claessens, VALID
man, Orr, Dewitt and Solomon, are
traitors. 1t is expected that legisla-
ton aimed at outlawing the Socialist
party will be recommended by some
members of the committee.
To Prevent Special Session
The plan is to have the vote on the
Socialists taken on Thursday. This
would preclude any possibility of the
Governor calling a special election to
fill the vacancies during the session,
the law providing that there cannot be
a special election ordered to fill va
cancy in the Legislature that occurs
after March 81.
The group of twelve rent bills aimed
at profiteers and designed to stimulate
building are scheduled for passage on
Tuesday
Next in Importance are considered to
be the bills for giving increased sal
aries to the teachers, but unless the
advocates can bring sufficient pressure
to bear. on the leaders here, there is
little likelihood Of their getting the in

SIOU.

NEW YORK, April ia mighty
earnest aggregation Of ball players Is
coming up from the south They're the
New York Yankees-Babe Ruth, Carl
Mays, etc.
They fully intend to win the American
league pennant this season. That's all
they're talking about. They have nothing
to say to the discredit OF iris Speakers
Sp6kes, the Detroit Tigers or other
rivals, but they do talk about themselves
in connection with the flag.
There has been talk OF bad feeling on
the club because of Babe Ruth and Carl
Mays and the great amounts figuring in
their purchases and in their contracts.
II there is such a feeling existent It
is well hidden.
There are arguments and loud talk,
temperamental displays at times on the
field, but evidently they are just the
scrap oozing out of the Yankees. They
look as II they were going 10 do some
scrapping for the old flag.
Skull practices are frequent. Higgins
has 'em on the field at times. The
veterans gather around the manager and
the argument wakes hot as they discuss
Seldom do they talk defense-au at
tack It is hit, hit, hit, hit with them
all the time. They believe Ruth, Peck
inpaugh, Lewis and possibly Baker are
going to slug home the bacon.
Carl Mays is pitching in wonderful
style. He promises TO be a second head
liner with Babe Ruth. There is suf-
hcient pitching stuff.
The Outfield is slow on its feet. But
it can hit
The Indeld is full of holes-but they
may be filed.
The team would look better with Frank
Baker present.
higgins won't say what his inheld
will look like. He IS saving that an
nouncement for later on.
The Hanks have a hard fight on and
they know it. They have twenty-five
games on the road almost at the finish OF
the race and that is going 70 be tough
Shedding. But they're full OF fight
