MAYORS FOR HOME
RULE IN CAR FARES
Bill Empowering City or Town
to Enter Service at Cost
Deal to Be Supported.
ASK DELAY IN SCHOOL AID
Conference in Albany Agrees
on Legislative Programme
for Next Session.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HnALc.
ALBANY, Dec 29.-The State Confer
ence OF Mayors in it's legislative pro-
Crane. made public to-day, agrees to
support a bill which will be introduced
at the coming Legislature to empower
any city or incorporated village to enter
into a service at cost arrangement with
its street railway company. The con-
ference also recommends that localities
be permitted to assist traction COM
panies In financing the cost of street
improvements by enabling the companies
to pay their assessments annually in the
same manner as property owners.
The Mayors. however. oppose the re-
peal of the law which requires traction
companies to construct and maintain
pavements between and for two feet on
either side Of their tracks. The confer
ence also decided to fight any legisia-
ton which would give the Public Ser
vice Commission power to regulate rates
regardless Of franchise provisions and
will also oppose municipal ownership
measures An amendment will be urged
giving power to the Public Service Com
mission to suspend increased gas, cleo
trio or railroad rates pending an inves-
tigation.
The programme provides for a re-
quest that the Legislature enact laws
permitting cities to reduce tax bur-
dens and increase the efficiency of city
administrations. Other city measures
the conference will urge are: Permit
ting cities to establish central pur-
chasing agencies; authorizing cities to
establish bureaus of assessment under
the direction Of commissioner or
board of review; authorizing first and
second class cities to abolish bureaus
Of health and establish health depart
ments under appointive commissioners,
and constitutional amendment pre-
scribing how taxable subjects shall be
assessed.
The confereree also asks that all leg
islation concerning the financial control
and mapagement of city schools be
held up until the Legislature has re-
ceived report of the committee
created by the conference and the
State Board Of Regents to study school
conditions.

a Year From Brindell

THE sympathetic nature of
Robert P. Brindell was testi-
fed to to-day by Patrolman
Stephen w. Birmingham, who is
charged with obtaining leaves of
absence by making false state
ments to his superiors.
Birmingham is attached to the
Clinton street station, and on
Nav last was allowed leave of
absence for $50 days on the plea
that his wife was i'll and needed
his care and attention. Investi-
CATION disclosed that during his
absence Birmingham was work
ing for Brindell in the compen-
sation bureau of the labor kings
Building Trades Council at a
salary of $1,000 a year.
Testifying before Deputy Com
missioner John A. Leach Birnling-
ham said that he was required to
take his wife to a health resort,
but that on their return he met
Brindell, who was so touched by
his story that he gave him the
$4,000 job.
III was to have Friday, Satur-
day and Sunday off each week to
take care of my wife," the

WORK TO AVERT
STRIKE IN HARBOR
State Industrial Commission
ers Arrange Conference Be-
tween Warning Parties.

Michael ]. Reagan and John Bealin
of the State Industrial Commission an
nounced yesterday that they expected to
avert harbor strike by q conference
which will be held this afternoon be-
tween representatives OF the New York
Towboat Exchange and William J. Ma
her. general manager of the Masters.
Mates and Pilots Association. Reagan
and Bealiu went into the situation yes
terday aad made their announcement
after talks with Maher and heads Of the
exchange.
1t also became evident that because
of organization troubles among the mas
ters, mates and pilots certain percent
age of these men would be available for
work on the boats, even in the event of
n strike, at the terms offered by the
Towboat Exchange. The same IN de-
ciared to be true Of deckhands, firemen,
oilers and cooks. Maher said that no
orders calling the men out would be
issued until every chance of amicable
settlement has been tried and he inti-
mated that he expected the trouble to
be settled.
Capt. Pruett. president OF the National
Association of Masters. Mates and Pilots,
declared that his local has a member
ship sufficient to make Intellectual any
dispute the Maher organization may
have with the boat owners. Maher, how
ever, declared that his association had
1.100 more masters, mates and pilots
than the Pruett association. For the
present the attitude of the boat owners
appears TO be favorable TO Capt Maher.
The towboat owners said yesterday
that they are not attempting to take
away payment for overtime from the
men. They insist upon the sixty hour
week because when business is dull as
at present the ten hour day with over
time reckoned for each day separately
costs them too much money. They are
asking the men to take the same wages
they received last year. but on the basis
of the sixty hour maximum week. with

FIRST FEDERAL ACTION
COMPETITION is STIFLED

The United States Government showed
its hand for the frst time yesterday in
the building trades inquiry. when a Fed
eral Grand Jury returned indictments
against four corporations and eleven In
dividuals, charging conspiracy to control
the output. market and price OF sand and
gravel used In building construction.
These indictments were the first to
come as the result OF Federal investisa-
tion, and were found under the Sherman
antitrust law by reason of the de-
PENDANTS business activities in Long ISL
and, where the sand and gravel is quar-
ried, and its subsequent sale in New Jer-
sey. Connecticut and other States.
Much OF the information obtained by
the Lockwood committee was at the dis
posal of the Federal jury, but according
to Joseph Kaufman, a special Assistant
United States Attorney, assigned by At
torney-General Palmer to investigate the
building and housing situation, sepa-
rate investigation has shown that mill
ions OF dollars have been made by alleged
unlawful combination Of the sand and
gravel interests.
Evidence was presented, 1t is under
stood. before the Federal jury showing
that the price of sand and gravel had
been lacked up from $50 a cubic yard
in June. 1919. to more than 81 now, and
that some of the larger construction
companies are unable to obtain sand and
gravel at any price.

What Mr.. Van TuyI Said.

On the Saturday before election JUS
tice Kernochan announced that he saw
no reason for holding Mr.. Wendell for
the Grand Jury. But the court did hold
Mr.. Travis for the Grand jury, and Mr..
Pecora announced publicly that he
would seek the indictment of Mr.. Wen
dell as well as of Mr. Travis. That
stand by the Assistant District Attorney
was based largely on testimony of Mr..
Van Tuyl. who said under oath:
II was following absolutely the in
structions of the Comptroller A letter
] received from Deputy Comptroller
James A. Wendell led me to believe that
Albert L. Judson was acting as the
Comptroller's agent In the bond deals.
I-could see that the Comptroller was
paying far in excess for the bonds over
and above what Judson was paying for
Hem. Yet was following absolutely the
distractions from the State Comptroller. Z"
- sThen. testfying to Judsons fluctuat-
ing bank balances, he said
"On October 3. 1917. Judson made a
profit Of sS6;s699s. His balance a week
LATER was s2.100. aNA'E FRsefssl
s"october "a Judson's account had
gone down TO SELLS.
January I. 1918. Judson realized a
profit from the State OF S77,463 A
week later Judson's balance was $i4,-
900.
-June 10. 1918. Judson got profit In
rire bond deals of 5S.426.25. Four days
later Judsons balance was S4.651.31.
rJanuary 1s, 1919. Judson got profit
or $771S7.50. a week later Judsons
balance dwindled TO about $4,000. This
In. spite of the fact that he had de-
posted an additional $4,000.
December II, 1919, Judson profited
sTe.239.90. The very next day his de-
posits shrunk TO S5.S75.03"
Whereupon. taking the witness stand,
Travis said:
II alone am responsible for all the
bond deals. am willing to take the re-
sponsibility for the actions OF any subor-
dihate who has had anything to do with
the bond sales"

obligation" 10 do so inasmuch as Messrs.
Judson and Fanshawe. for example. had
purchased these bonds wherever they
could get them and had paid a price
that they had reason TO believe was the
lowest figure these securities would
reach. AS a matter Of fact the market
took a decided slump and when the
Sc 013. 900 purchase was made In 1917
the price had dropped again. Mr.
drav,s declared then that he didn't be-
iteve 1t would have been just to have
left the brokers loaded with the bonds
that they had bought on the theory ihat
the state was going 10 take them off
fheir hands at the purchase price.
S He added that IL was his belief that
even at this price of 50 an injustice was
done the broker. although the State was
ovcrpaying more than s150,000. Mr.
Wendell had testified previously that
there had been no moral obligation 10
buy the bonds. Mr. Fanshawc. from
whom the Se,013.00O worth OF bonds
had been bought. declared that the
Comptroller had demanded of him an
tho correspondence having 10 do with
the entire transaction.
There was huge mass or testimony
covering the investment OF the entire
s31 900 900. but Mr.. Pecora stressed the
particular expenditure of SO, 250, 600 on
which two OF Yesterdays Indictments
were based. Tho bonds acquired with this
sum- the testimony before Justice kerno-
chan showed. were purchased through
the Metropolitan Trust Company il
was insisted that Mr.. Judson made the
sale at a time when he did not own the
bonds that certain price was fixed
and that. carrying a letter from Mr..
Wendell. Mr.. Judson went 10 George c.
Van Tuyl. president OF the metropolitan
Trust Company. who made ii possible
for Mr.. Judson 10 purchase the desired
bonds. II was testified that Mr.. Jud-
son had posted no collateral and that nc
had purchased the bonds at an average
OF seven points less than the price he
received from the State The letter
taken by Mr.. Judson to Mr.. Van Tuyl
was produced and read into the record.
but both Mr.. Travis and Mr.. Wendell
repudlated authorship Of it.
Mr. Wendell explained that It was pos
sble that the letter had been written
by stenographer in the Comptroller's
office. but without official authorize
tion At any rate. 1t was testified, the
TRANSACTION cost the State about $50 600,
Both Travis and Judson testified that
they kept no records OF their personal
financial transactions other than check
stubs and scraps of paper which they
destroyed later. IL was from such memo
randa, they said, that their income tax
returns were made.
During the course of the John Doe
proceedings Mr. Travis was adjudged
In contempt no fewer than seventeen
times by Justice Kernochan. Seventeen
times the Comptroller refused to obey
the courts command to answer ques-
tions relating to his own private busi-
ness affairs. which. II was shown. in
volved financial transactions amounting
10 at least $156. 900 during the five years
he had been holding office. The court
fined the Comptroller $3.50 for refusing
to make the required replies.
