Major F. H. La Guardia, President

record yesterday as being unequi
vocally opposed to the proposed con-
struction Of victory hall on the site
|of the old Grand Union Hotel. He
declared he would do everything in
his power as a member Of the Board
OF Estimate to prevent the use of the
property for that purpose.

Sound Fleet Freed
From, Ice by Wind

With rise in temperature and a
shift Of the wind from northeast to
northwest the feet of icebound Sound
steamers which had been imprisoned
for sixty hours off Execution Light at
the westerly entrance Of Long Island
Sound were released yesterday and pro-
ceeded to their destinations.
The steamers Chester w. Chaplin and
the New Hampshire, both bound from
this port to New London, got away
shortly before noon and dropped an
chor in Bridgeport harbqr. Jan Selba,
deckhand on the Chaplin, died sud
at Bridgeport. He had been in good
health, his mates said, and they ex-
pressed surprise when his body was
found upright in a chair in one of the
companionways.
The Chaplin and New Hampshire were
short Of food and fuel and those aboard
subsisted on tea and sea biscuits
throughout the last twenty-four hours
of their sojourn in the ice. The Chaplin
had little more food aboard than the
New Hampshire and shared her sup
plies with the latter vessel.
A catchline was thrown out from the
New Hampshire and to it was attached
case of eggs, a bag of flour and a
box Of canned milk, and in this fashion
the rations we're drawn over the ice
Neither vessel had enough coal to carry
it to New London and they put into
Bridgeport to replenish the bunkers anc
take on fresh water.
The steamers Pequonnock and Bos.
ton, which were in the ice jam, came
to this city yesterday. The Georgis
went to an anchorage and the Maine
which was damaged, will be towed to
port to-day.

eral manager Of the New York Edison
Company, informed me to-day that his
company had received two additional
shiploads Of coal from Hampton Roads,
comprising total of several thou
sand tons, and making a very material
addition to the supply of that COM
pany.
Terminal Points Relieved
ut appeared to be the general senti-
ment among public utility men that
with the clearing of the ice from the
East and North rivers and to some ex-
tent from the bay the possibility Of
improved delivery of coal from Port
Reading and other New Jersey car un-
loading points has greatly increased.
One general manager of a large COM
pany stated that in his opinion the
situation was clearing materially as
far as the immediate period of great
emergency was concerned He said,
however, that in his opinion the dan
ger was not yet entirely over and
could not be over, in view of the gener-
ally small reserve supplies on hand
and in sight, until the winter is past"
Representatives of the commission
er's office spent the day endeavoring
to clear up the surface car situation
in Manhattan, which still was the most
serious obstacle to a resumption of
normal business last night.

u. S. Detains Children
Arriving From France
Two Are on the Way to Parents
in Illinois; Three Deaths
on TOuraine

Three children under sixteen, on
their way to join parents who are in
Moline, ILL.,, and Calgary, Canada, were
detained by the immigration officials
yesterday and removed from the
French Liner La Touraine to Ellis
Island. They were among the e2S pas
sengers who arrived from Havre.
Clara Dierck, twelve years old, and
her sister, Anna, nine, had come from
the home of their grandmother in East
Flanders and were on their way to
Moline. A neighbor who had gone to
Belgium in 1914 brought them here,
but as she was not a legal guardian,
the children could not enter the coun-
try. The parents have been notified of
the children's arriva1 and will receive
them within a few days.
L. E. Cochrane and his wife, of Cal
gary, brought over Renee Mongour
thirteen years old, who was sent for
by her mother. The Cochranes and
Renee were detained by the immigra-
tion officials, but it was believed that
they would be released through the
agency of the Canadian immigration
authorities.
On the trip from Havre, Emil Men
guy, forty-one years old, the Touraine's
chief steward, died of hemorrhage of
the lungs. He had been with the
French line for twenty years. Two
deaths in the steerage also were re-
ported.

Havana, brought seventy Eight passen-
gers. She was caught in the blizzard

Ten of Crew of Stranded

ROCKLAND, Me-, Feb. THE hrst
mate, an engineer and eight seamen
of the steam freighter Polias, who
took to a lifeboat, In defiance of the
captains orders last night, after the
ship had struck on Old Cilley Ledge,
twenty miles south of here, were given
up to-day as lost.
Crews from two coast guard stations
to-day took off the captain and remain

by the vessel through the night and
transferred them to the coast guard

Three life preservers, an oar and .
boathook, which were picked up on
Monhegan Island, were regarded by
members of the coast guard crews as
evidence that the boat foundered in
the heavy seas.
The Acushnet, which has been en-
gagged in ice-breaking operations along
the Maine coast, although half her
crew is i'll with influenza, left Rock
land at midnight in response to radio
calls for help, arriving on the scene
two hours later, but rescue was not
attempted until morning.
The Polias was bound from Sears
port to Norfolk with coal. All hope
of pulling the ship off and saving ft

Plenty of Food
On Hand as Rail
Traffic Improve
Supplies Moving Into City
at Increased Rate and
Navy Goods Are Avail
able if the Need Arises

The food situation in and around
Manhattan frightened with the weather
yesterday. Railroad officials reported
trains to be coming in more punctu-
ally and the Commissioner of Markets
said that there was plenty of foodstuffs
on hand.
The whole problem seems to be one
of transportation, in which snow and
cold weather have played a big part.
New York Central railroad officials said
yesterday that food shipments were
improving and that yesterdays trains
were only from two to three hours late,
instead of from four to six hours late,
as was the case the day before. The
Lackawanna also announced that per-
ishable freight was being hurried -
getting the preference of thoroughfare
along with coal. 1t was stated that
while there was some delay in the ar
rival of milk trains so per cent of the
normal supply was being handled. The
most difficult part of shipment was at
tributed to the removal of goods from
the yards and getting them to their
destinations.
The depot of the Borden company at
Tompkinsville, Staten Island, reported
yesterday that only little milk had
been received that morning and that
it had received practically none on the
two preceding days. Most of the bread
and milk used by the people of Staten
Island comes from Manhattan and
Brooklyn and is delivered in horse
drawn vehicles, which have been unable
to make headway through the snow.
Trucks loaded with food would leave
warehouses yesterday on their way to
retailers only to get stuck in the con-
gested streets of the lower East and
West sides. However, if the street
cleaning program of the city, combined
with the efforts of public-spirited
citizens, is successful, and the weather
lends moderate assistance, better
distribution of food ought to follSw.
In case of emergency DR.. Jonathan
Day, special agent for the navy food
sales, calls attention to the fact that
there are several thousand tons of food
in the navy storehouses which can be
used Four thousand tons of potatoes
are on their way from Holland, along
with large shipment of butter. Edwin
J. O'Malley, Commissioner of Markets,
said yesterday that the potatoes will
sell here for $525 barrel, which is
So cheaper than present market prices.
New York is simply surrounded by
food. 1t is on trains, on trucks, on
ships, in terminals and in warehouses,
and has been kept there by the wealth
er. Mr.. O'Malley estimated that ST.
100000 worth of foodstuffs had been
held up by the storm.

The Princess Anne has a cargo of
