There was a fifteen minute traffic

day afternoon. 1t was the only tieup
that Patrolman 77o7 has experienced
since he Joined the Traffic Squad that
didn't leave everybody in bad humor.
About 6 o'clock a Central Park
squirrel darted out of the park and
started across the Circle, headed
straight for the white lights Of Broad
way. Patrolman 7707 saw it, made a
lunge for it and struck the asphalt.
That was the beginning of the tie-up.
. The adventuresome park fugitive
darted under glossy limousine leading
long procession of cars. The driver
saw it and stopped the car. Other driy-
ers stopped their cars.
Traffic Cop 7707 then gave chase. So
did many pedestrians. The squirrel
played hide and seek successfully for
ten minutes, hopping from one machine
to another, with hysterical crowd in
pursuit.

Mob of Idle Threaten
Police in Rum Seizure
Bridgeport Reserves Save a
Truckload of Alcohol From
Crowd of 1000
Special Dispotch to The Tribune

BRIDGEPORT. Conn.,, Sept. 15.-
Captain Charles Wheeler, of the I'd Pre-
cinct police station, was compelled to
summon an extra squad of police to
break up mob which surrounded the
station to-day, after the police had
seized fifteen barrels of alcohol, valued
at approximately $4,000, which was
being conveyed on big motor truck
from this city to New Haven.
The news of the seizure spread
through the East Side and crowd num-
bering nearly two thousand gathered.
Most of them were unemployed and
some shouted that the liquor could be
easily taken from the police. The crowd
was dispersed after some difficulty.
Carmine Malinconico, driver of the
truck, who gave his address as New
Haven, was arrested ard placed under
bonds of $500. He refused to tell who
the alcohol was consigned to in New
Haven, but admitted that he got the
stuff in this city from man whose name
he did not know.

Erzberger Plot Probed
Testimony Shows Conspir-

Formulated in Bavaria

BERLIN, Sept. 16.-Suspicion that
the assassination of Matthias Erzberger
was plotted in Bavaria by Chauvinisr
secret societies which transferred
their headquarters there SO as to be
less liable to interference was con-
firmed to-day by statement of Chan.
cellor Wirth before the Reichstae
Vigilance Committee. The Chancellor
was answering a question whether It
was true that signs pointed to COM
plicity in the murder Of Erzber9sr By
the notorious brigade Of Captain Ehr-
hardt, the moving spirits of which are
located at Rosenheim, near Munich.
DR.. Wirth read long report from
State Commissioner Weissman showing
that all attempts since the Kapp revo-
luton to arrest Colonel Bauer, Major
Pabst and Captain Ehrhardt had failed,
although it had been discovered they
were residing near Munich in an in
trenched position under a strong guard
comprising their followers and some
members of the Bavarian police force.
The report added that it was virtually
impossible to penetrate their hiding
place, as any one approaching it was
fired upon.
Chancellor Wirth added that the sit
uation could not possibly be improved
in Bavaria by postponing action. The
aim and object Of his policy were to
obtain speedy removal of the state
Of siege in Bavaria.
The Independent Socialist Herr Dit
mann bitterly arraigned Bavarian Po-
lice Chief Poehner for alleged con-
nivance in sheltering the murder
gang" He demanded that the govern
ment Of the empire put an end to the
situation in Bavaria, which he said
constituted a danger to the state.
The Nationalist Deputy DR.. Hergt
retorted that the charges against Enr-
hardt and his men had not been proved
and offered sworn testimony that they
were not connected with the murder of
Erzberger. DR.. Wirth rejoined that
the Rightist Indictment of the last two
years to violence against the present
regime had grown intolerable and that
the German uniform had been misused
for nefarious purposes.
The Chancellor declared that he was
unable to accept the standpoint of the
Bavarian government that the whole
question of state of emergency should
be shelved until a ministry was formed
Ehrhardt has been in communication
recently with former Bavarian Minis
ter of Justice Roth. According to in
formation obtained at Police Head
quarters, Colonel Bauer is now resid-
ing in Budapest, but recently he has
made several visits to Munich, where
he met Ehrhardt.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy during the Wilson

muscles in his legs. 1t was said last
night that his general condition was
good.
MIR. Roosevelt was brought to the
city from his summer home at Campo
bello Island. Bay of Fundy, in a pri-
vate car. His private physician, DR..
George Draper, of 116 East Sixty-third
Street, and DR.. Charles H. Young, su-
perintendent of Presbyterian Hospital,
said last night that there is no cause
for alarm. DR.. Draper declared that
the acute attack from which. Mr.. Roose-
velt had suffered had entirely passed.
"Mr. Roosevelt had a comfortable
trip here" he said, "and is doing very
we'll now.
II cannot say how long he will be
kept in the hospital but it can be def
nitely stated that he will not be Grip
pied and no one need have any fear Of
permanent injury in any way from this
attack"
The former Assistant Secretary suf-
fered his first attack August 10. DR..
Draper said that the limbs and feet
were affected, with temporary loss Of
control of both legs below the knees.
Mr.. Roosevelt has, however, regained
the control of his legs. This is a prom

mission, which Mayor Hylan has as
sailed as an instrument of the traction
interests, made public yesterday it's
flrst important decision upon an ap-
plication for an increase in trolley
fares. 1t denied and denounced as
extravagant a request made by the
New York State Railways Company for
permission to raise trolley fares in
Utica from 6 cents to 10.
The Public Service Commission was
appointed under the same law which
authorized the appointment Of the
Transit Commission. The former has
jurisdiction over transit companies out
side the city and the latter over those
in the city. William A. Prendergast,
chairman of the Public Service Com
mission, wrote the opinion announced
yesterday, and his fellow commissions
ers concurred in it unanimously.
Policy of Commission
Commissioner Frendergast said that
the decision might serve as an en-
phatic outline Of the policy which the
commission would follow in such cases.
In il he said:
"Public utilities, just as other de-
partments of business, must expect to
cope with periods Of depression and
short earnings, just as at other times
they enjoy periods Of prosperity and
full dividends. If the public is expected
to make up every deficiency in order to
give utility a good round rate of
earning power, then the public is en-
titled to the benefit of the surplus over
the agreed earning rate in times of
prosperity.
at must be borne III mind that we
are not dealing with the conditions of
1920 or the previous abnormal years,
but with the present period, which is
one of profound economical adjust
ment. It is with this pregnant fact
before us that decision in this and
similar cases must be made. The fact
is that the proceeds of revised wage
relations have already reached the
company"
Company Must Be Careful
"While' franchise rate once fixed
must not be presumed to be immutable
the reasons advanced for changing it
should be Of controlling character. In
this case the local authorities have al
ready conceded all advance in passen-
Sol 1ale 1tolH Ine original 1ranchl Sc
rate of five cents to six cents. The
local authorities therefore cannot be
charged with failure to appreciate the
additional revenue requirements of the
street railroad company due to the war
conditions. With the subsistence of these
conditions it is not in order for the rail
road company to be seeking further ad-
vances, especially in the form of it's
present utterly extravagant request for
a ten-cent fare. On the other hand il
is the duty of the company to SO ad-
minister its affairs through economies
and improvements that the fare to be
charged to the public will be at the low
est possible minimum consistent with
good service and an adequate return to
the investors"

sional calling" instead Of laborers, in
the constitution.
Explaining denial of the application,
which would have given the organization
the official privileges enjoyed by labor
unions, the Parliamentary spokesman
said: can organization must justify
under the statutes by its activities the
right TO be designated as composed of
professionals"
In connection with the associations
activities, WHICH extend virtually to
all towns and hamiets, with thousands
Of members, there is much discussion
as to whether an attempt will be made
to enforce the demands by strikes,
I lock-outs or arbitration. 1t is even
suggested that if the ultra-radicals 8
supersede the present conservative Of
hcinls there is probability that hus-
bands will be asked to put their wives
on a salary and recognize woman's s
equality by sharing in the work of
cooking, washing and caring for the
children.
