5000 Disappointed Bike
Fans Block Broadway
Police Reserves Called When
Armory Doors Are Closed
TO Protect Crowd Inside

When about 1000 persons with ad-
mission tickets had crowded into the
22d Regiment Armory at 168th Street
and Broadway at 8 O'Clock last night
to see the six-day bicycle race, the
Fire Department ordered the doors
closed, saying that the safety of those
inside would be imperilled if any more
were admitted
At that time more than 5000 persons
were standing outside the entrance in
16Sth Street waiting for chance to
get in. The twenty policemen assigned
to the armory during the race were
unable to clear the street and sent a
call to the West 177th Street police
station for the reserves.
Captain Routh arrived with thirty
more policemen and the throng was
pushed back into Broadway and po-
lice line thrown across 16Sth Street.
Only those having tickets for reserved
seats were permitted to pass this line.
The crowd in Broadway was growing
constantly and soon blocked the thor
oughfare, tying up traffic. Captain
Routh and his men ploughed through
1t again, driving it into the side streets
There several thousand persons waited
until the doors of the armory should
be reopened.
That did not occur until about II
o'clock, when about $500 of those who
co. early had gone home.

To Meet Emergency
President Also Empowered
to Call ON State for Ad-
vice i'll Problems Be-
cause of Two Inquiries

The Board of Education in q resoiu-

Sises the Board of Estimate that an

school system. the resolution declares,
render impossible any further reduc-
ton of the estimated $7S026,462.77
Hsked for in the annual school budget.
Coincident with the demand for these
maintenance and operation funds, the
Board Of Education empowered its
president, Aiming S. Prall. to call upon
TIE legal branch of the State Depart
ment Of Education for advice in the
problems confronting the school sys-
TEN by reason Of the Lockwood Com
mittee's investigation and the separate
inquiry ordered by the city. In so en-
poworing President Prall members of
the board including Mr.. Prall, said
they were disgusted with the Comp
trolier for his re usal to cooperate with
the Board OF Estimate in its separate
investigation OF local building con-
tracts. and that in consequence of his
opposition no help from the Corpora
ton Counsel could be expected; that
the Board of Education must, there
fore call upon the state.
The decision to ask for outside legal
aid followed the reading OF a letter
from the Comptroller in which attcn-
ton was called to eighteen contracts
in his office awaiting final approval.
The letter said. in part:
"ln view of the disclosures incident
to the inquisition now being conducted
by the Lockwood Joint Legislative
Committee on Housing | would thank
you kindly to advise me whether you
have conducted any inquiry as to the
facts and circumstances under which
the bids for these contracts were sub
mtted and the awards thereon made"
President prall announced that a
committee consisting of himself, M
Ryan and Mr.. Somers would work with

ton

organizations are the real
basis of their success.
The "Doherty Mems Fra
ternity" was started only a
little while ago, but it has a
membership already OF 6,501.
It was $500 on Tuesday
morning, but on Tuesday eve
ming, after the banquet held
in the Astor Gallery of the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, one
more member was added to
the list and that member is
myself. 1t came about in this
way:
had attended many of the
meetings and had become so
enthusiastic that the boys
thought | ought to be a mem
ber of their Fraternity, and
they elected me, after / had
made a little talk to them at
the conclusion of the banquet.
This l regard as one of the
finest compliments ever paid
to me by any organization. I
am strong for the fraternal
spirit.
This banquet, which was
attended by over 400 men of
the Doherty organization,
was a remarkable affair.
Henry L. Doherty, who is
looked upon by members of
his organization as the man
who inspires all of the execu-
tives and their associate
workers with the dominant
thought that they must have
pride in their work and be
willing to give maximum serv-
ice at all times, made a talk
to his associates that strikes
the right note at this time:
eve are facing new condi-
tions, but they are not diff
cult to meet and conquer.
AT no time in the history
of our organization have |
been more confident of the fu-
ture than am at this mo.
ment.
II can't see anything to dis
turb us seriously. l think the
strength of our organization
is due to its ability to always
meet situations with courage
and confidence.
eve have met many situa-
tions in the past that were
pretty stiff propositions to
overcome, but we overcame
them, didn't we?
"Another thing that sus-
tains US in our operations is
that we have diversity
of interests. If one branch of
our industries does not meet
our expectations, other
branches come along with
such splendid successes that
they go beyond our expecta-
tlons. So things level up with
us, boys, because we are do
ing the right thing and oper-
ate on right principles of
business.
MANY public utilities have
suffered somewhat during the
past four years, but more par
tlcularly during the past two
years. They have had to meet
increased cost in production
without getting more for their
product, yet we have not al
lowed this condition to dis.
turb us.
Our oil enterprises have
come along in wonderful
shape, so our organization
goes steadily forward, pro-
tecting its investors and keep
ing the wheels of business
humming.
Il cannot tell you how
proud | am Of this organiza-
ton. It's the team work. boys,
