GREENWICH VILLAGE
PROUD OF GARLAND
Assumes Credit for Youths
Refusal of 81, 100000
Legacy.
ESTATE NOW TANGLED
Lawyers Find Unique Problem
to Dispose of the In
heritance.
ESTATE NOW TANGLED

Greenwich Village was taking credit
to itself last night for the refusal OF
Charles Garland to accept a fortune OF
more than s1.o0O.ooO to which he is
heir. That the Villagers views are war
ranted by the facts in the case was the
opinion expressed by James Henry d.
Tudor of 100 Broadway. manager of the
estate which the young Massachusetts
man has spurned.
'I am afraid" said Mr.. Tudor, that
the seeds for this stand by Charles Gar
land were sowed in Greenwich Village.
He spent three or four months there a
year or two ago. I think he met some
parlor Socialists
Mr.. Tudor added that the fortune
Garland had turned down was not
merely a million, but something in eX-
cess of it-$1 $50, ,000-to be exact. He
said there was trouble ahead because
of Garland's refusal. The estate cannot
be turned over to chancery courts. as
might be done in England. and the dis
posal of the money constitutes unique
problem in law, he said. Mr. Tudor will
have to puzzle it out with James A.
Parker of Boston, the other trustee of
the estate. The estate has increased for
each Of the children from S750,00O in
1904 to the above mentioned sum. Mr..
Tudor said all efforts to communicate
with Garland had been unavailing, and
he would not answer their letters.
One of the most pressing of Mr..
Tudor's annoyances is the bulk Of the
letters arriving from persons all over
the world who have suggestions for the
use of the Garland fortune. People
want to reform the world. start model
Governments In Africa and build homes
for children and the aged" said Mr..
Tudor. "They have all written us. But
really | don't know yet what will De-
come of Charles Garland's money"
He did not wish the Greenwich VII
layers Joy in their achievement over the
mind of young Garland. He did not
blame Garland for being taken in by
the Greenwich Villagers, but said he
was certain Garland knew what he was
doing and that he was an exceptionally
bright young man.
HE has we'll defined reasons for his
action he said, but he certainly Is
making it embarrassing for the trustees
who have guarded the estate for fifteen
years. He has simply told US that he
isn't interested in the property. We
asked him to put his view in writing, {
but he refused. We hope he will change
his views
The present intention Of the trustees Is
to keep Carland's share of the estate for
his heirs unless Garland directs it be
used for charitable purposes. While
Garland was in Greenwich Village he
was n friend of John Reed. Bolshevik
propagandist and magazine writer. who
died recently in Russia, said Mr.. Tudor
Summing up his impressions of the
whole affair, Mr.. Tudor remarked dryly
that he would not be surprised II Gar
lands views a few years hence may not
be considered peculiar. The trusteeship
with Garland's refusal. could not con-
tlnue indefinitely he said.

CITY TO FIGHT NEW
ELECTRICITY RATES
Injunction to Be Sought
Against Public Service Com
mission Ruling.

John p. O'Brien, Corporation Coun-
sci, announced yesterday that Mayor
Hylan had instructed him to apply to
the courts for a restraining order to
prevent the electric light and power
companies from collecting the new rate
put into effect yesterday and to obtain
a judicial determination of whether the
Public Service Commission has the right
to allow a public service corporation
to put higher rates into effect without
notice.
Alfred NJ. Barrett. Public Service
Commissioner, replied to the Corpora
tion CounseI with a statement which
made no mention of why the petition
of the corporations for higher rates had
not been made pubic. or why the COM
mission had not announced the new
rates until the evening before they be-
came effective Mr.. Barrett explained
the situation as follows:
There was nothing secret about the
fact that this tariff was filed. Ii Is
matter of public record and anybody
who investigates the records OF the
Public Service Commission. as certain
Dubllc Officials nave QOuO III eAo R"SN,
could have found out all they desired
with regard to it. 1t was also posted
at the offices of the companies as re-
quired by law"
The Corporation Counsel declared that
not only were the surcharges allowed
without a public hearing but were
granted upon private investigation by
the commissions engineer, whose report
II is said. did not make clear that ne
thought the companies proposal Justi-
fled. The Commissioners reply shows
that Randolph II. Nexsen, engineer or
tho commission. actually did report that
the information on file with the commits
sion was not sufficient to warrant his
recommending the granting or the sur
charge and that Mr.. Nexsen's approval
of the proposed increase finally was
gained upon the electricity companies
nresenting additional data at the request

notify the public that surcharge upon
electricity rates had been either asked
for or granted. the Corporation Counsel
said:

ing the reasonableness or the rates pro-
posed by the company VIII be placed
,,non the shoulders OF the consumers or
the complainants and not. as Is gener :

DEPORT FRENCH GIRL

Labor Department Upholds
Ruling That Mile. Schneider
Is Morally Unfit
MET OFFICER IN PARIS
Wife Alleges Girl Exercised
Strange, Evil Influence
Over Captain Gill.

Mile. Marie Schneider, who arrived
French liner La Touraine expecting TO
enter the household of Capt Robert c.
Gill, who saw service with the American
forces in France and who met the young
French liner France yesterday afternoon
and will be on her way to Havre this
afternoon. Capt Gill appealed to the
Secretary of Labor from the ruling of a
special board of inquiry at Ellis Island
that Mile. Schneider was morally unfit
to enter the country, but the Secretary
of Labor sustained the ruling.
Capt Gill is about 60. but looks older,
possibly because of illness in France
from which he has not completely recov-
cred. He has been a visitor to Ellis
Island frequently and appeared to have
a strong impression that his appeal
would be decided in his favor. He al
ways went to the island in the uniform
of captain. although 1t is said he is no
longer in the army, and his last talk
with Mile. Schneider was on Tuesday
afternoon. He did not visit her yester-
day, doubtless having been notified that
the decision had gone against him.
1t was mainly due to the influence Of
Mrs. Gill that the young woman was
excluded. Mrs. Gill declared In her afii-
davit in the case that Mile Schneider
had exercised a strange and evil infiu-
ence' on Capt. Gill, who testified that
he had become interested in Mile.
Schneider while he was living at the
home of her parents in Paris. He said
that on the death of her father he had
promised to bring her to the United
States and support her as his COVER
ness" He has a daughter older than
Mile. Schneider, who is ~.
, In recent talk with a reporter Capt
Gill said he was separated legally from
his wife, and admitted that the separa-
tion was due partly to the arrival here
OF Mile Schneider. The young woman
admitted that she had been performer
in cabarets in Paris and Constantinopie.

Reuise Prices.

At a meeting Of the United Master
Bakers of Manhattan, held yesterday
afternoon in Maennerchor Hall. Fifty
sixth street near Third avenue. ways
and means of reducing the prices or
bread, rolls and staple bakery products
were discussed. AS fewer than half OF
the 400 members were present, the final
action was to give the president power
TO appoint q committee of seven to con-
fer with all members of the organiza-
ton and gather facts that will aid In
reaching a decision.
Adam Metz, proprietor of the White
POSE Baking and Restaurant Company
of All Fourth avenue and president OF
the bakers association. said one or the
main things to be contended with is the
nrice OF labor. The prices OF butter
and eggs are still high and although
sugar is lower the majority OF the
bakers have on hand large supplies
bought al twenty-three cents pound.
For these reasons 1t Is not propaple
that reductions in the prices OF pastry
and cakes will be brought about

time the prices of bread and rolls and
