MAYOR TO EXPLAIN
PAYROLL POLITICS
Albany Investigators Seek
Light on Appointment of
H. Warren Hubbard.

When Mayor Hylan gets on the wit
ness stand facing the legislative COM
mittee which is investigating his admin
istration one of a score of political mys-
teries which he will have to explain is
why III. Warren Hubbard, TaInmany
leader. was appointed Deputy Commits
sioner of Markets after having been
ousted as Deputy Street Cleaning Com
missioner by explicit order of the Mayor
for playing politics"
That affair has remained a mystery
which only a few of the inner circle OF
Tammany Hall and City Hall have un-
derstood and the examiners who are
conducting the inquiry into municipal
affairs are curious to know all about it.
Arnold B. MacStay, Street Cleaning
Commissioner, startled the city admins
tration in January, 1919, by announcing
he had received a letter from Mayor
Hylan insisting upon the resignation of
Hubbard as deputy in that department.
The announcement was that the Mayor
would not have any one in such an i'm
portant position playing politics with the
city Job. No effort was made to inform
the public what particular or unfair
brand Of politics Hubbard had played
and whether such political activities had
been injurious to the city.
AS cO-leauer IN the Elgnteentn ASSEM-
bly, District with John Dietz, Hubbard
had been active in Tammany affairs dur
ing his incumbency. He has been for
years a power in the district known as
Little ITALY" in the vicinity of 10th
street. AS far as has been shown, he
was not any more active in getting his
political followers on the payroll than
are all the Tammany leaders. nor more
successful in that line.
Like all Tammany leaders Hubbard
was regarded as entitled to good job
under the Hylan administration. He was
reported to be interested with Paul Va"-
carelli in trucking and contracting. but
there was nothing shown that the con-
tracts had been mixed with politics.
Hubbard was reported to have gone to
Hylan for explanation. 1t did him no
good and he was out
Something happened In the next few
months. w. w. Smith, Deputy Commits
sioner Of Markets. was ousted. Why he
left the city employ Is another unex-
planned political mystery Of the Hylan
administration which may be solved. He
had been active in handling the war sup

ANSWER TO CRITICISM
ITS PRACTICES IMPROPER
Lockwood Committees Chief
Counsel Sought to Show
Loan Conditions.

Samuel Untermyer, chief counsel to
the Lockwood legislative committee
which last week in Buffalo disclosed
that United States Senator James W.
Wadsworth, Jr., and Attorney General
Charles d. Newton were directors of
the Frontier Mortgage Corporation. de-
clared in a public statement yesterday
that certain rnfavorable comment con-
corning their connection with the
company which followed the disclosure
was undeserved. Mr.. Untermyer added
that there was no evidence to show
that either Senator Wadsworth or At
torney- General Newton had in any
way profited by the practices Of the
company.
The Frontier Mortgage Corporation
was organized in May, 1920, to spe-
cialize in second mortgages. The
prospectus of the corporation, in
which the names of Senator Wads-
worth AMI Mr. Newton. with those of
some of Buffalo's most prominent
business men, appeared as directors,
advised prospective investors that the
second mortgage business was conser-
vative and profitable, and that esti-
mated profits of at least 20 per cent.
might be expected through discounting
second mortgages at that rate.
It has been the contention Of the
Lockwood committee that this prac-
tice, which was shown to be common
in New York city, operates as a dis
tlnct handicap to building construction,
since by discornting a second mort
actually is compelled to pay sometimes
as high AS "a or Is per cent. for his
money.

SACRED CONCERT.

The musical program given by the
Methodist Episcopal choir in the
church on Sunday evening and an
nounced in the Expositor last week,
was listened to by large audience,
delighted and highly pleased with the
excellence of each number. Under the
direction of Miss Fredda Holden and
Mrs j. E. Staley this choir gave as
fine a production of sacred music as
one could have in city church.
Solos, duets, quartettes, anthems
and violin music, accompanied by
piano and organ, each one so we'll ex'
ecuted, formed delightful program
and left nothing to be desired in the
minds of the congregation, excepting
the feeling that a repitition or another
concert would be gladly welcomed.

AUTOISTS MAY NOW
"STEP ON 'ER" FOR 35

BY an act of the legislature a law
became effective on August Is whereby
the speed limit on country roads was
increased from % to 80 miles an hour
Just what difference the effectiveness
of the increased limit will make in
all but a few localities, somewhat a
question.
Along with the increased speed limit
law came several other changes in the
statutes governing the operation Of
motor vhicles. Mirrors must be car
ried on all motor trucks of more than
11a-ton capacity on country roads
All cars when parked within the
city limits must display both rear and
front lights. There are several other
minor changes in the laws, regulat-
ing lights and license plates.
The reason for the act requiring
heavy trucks to be equipped with q
mirror is to do away with what driv-
ers of passenger cars call "hogging
the road" 1t is their contention that
the drivers of slow-moving trucks
have the habit of getting in the middle
of the road and staying there. The
noise and rumble of the trucks, they
declare, prevent truck drivers from
hearing horns or warning signals, and
the result has been that drivres OF
pleasure cars have been forced to trail
trucks.
Sponsors of the new law point out
that it would be obviously wrong tc
increase the speed limit without taking
some step toward removing the pro
hibition on speed placed on the road
by trucks.

A story circulating among the motor

efficiency statistics in regard to De-

said, $4,000 men are now doing as
much work as $4,000 men did year
ago, while in the Ford factory $4,000
men are achieveing results as great
as those achieved by a force OF 10000
men IN 1920.

100000 government employees there
and throughout the country are soon
to lose theiRiobs. The first step in re-
