GERMAN EXPORT TAXES
LIKELY TO BE REDUCED
London Conference Expected
to Shade Rsporations.
BIZ Tho Associated Press.

LONDON, Feb. 2.-The conference
called by the Supreme Council for Lon
don February rs, to which the Germans
will be invited, will not be to pronounce
an irrevocable sentence regarding rep
arations, from which the Germans will
not be able to appeal, it was authori-
tatively stated here to-day. The con-
ference, rather, will be designed to pro-
duce a declaration of the principles of
Germany's Indebtedness.
1t is even probable, 1t is stated. that
the 12 per cent. tax on Germany's ex-
ports, provii ed for in the Paris terms
may be altered, although the principle
of the right to impose such a tax will
be retained. The export tax measure,
it Is asserted here. was strictly French
proposal. advanced for the purpose OF
guaranteeing the fullest protection from
future German aggression.
Invitations to Germany to attend the
conference will be despatched in a few
days, and the British officials do not
even consider the possibility OF Ger
many refusing to attend. They declare
it will be only worse for Germany IL
she declines.
The Supreme Council fully expected
German protests on the reparations an
nouncement. but, as q. matter OF fact,
the protests are not so great as an
ticipated. In view of the objections

BILL TO REVISE CITY
CHARTER IS OFFERED
Provides for Commission of 21
to Effect Retrenchment
and Reorganization.
Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Alhauv- Feb. Q.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, Feb. 2.
The bill creating commission on re-
organization aud retrenchment for New
York city. backed by the Brooklyn
Chamber of Commerce, was introduced
to-day by Senator Burlingame and AS
semblyman Wells. The commission is
TO be made up of two Senators. four
Assemblymen and fifteen citizens of New
York. The expenses. not exceeding
$4,000 are to be paid by the city. A
statement given out in connection with
the bill says that the New York city
budget has grown in ten years from
s174.OOO, 900 to S345, 100000, the tax
rate from $175 to s2.4s, and the bonded
indebtedness from sSi0, 100000 10 ST.
$4,000, 900.
"The charter under which the city is
operating" says the statement. was
adopted twenty years ago. Since lts
adoption it has been amended In more
than 1000 places. until now 1t has be-
come patchwork of confusing and
cumbersome details. Departments ana
bureaus are not properly coordinating,
functions are misplaced. duplication and
Is much waste of effort and money IN
the administration of the citys husi-
ness
The people of the city generally are
convinced that an unprejudiced, non
partisan commission appointed under
authority of law and empowered to make
a searching and constructive study Of
the origin of departments and offices In
the city government will find many
places where offices, bureaus and de-
partrnents can either be coordinated or
functions redistributed and where
economies can be introduced in the adj
mnistration of the city and county
affairs"
a constitutional amendment proposed
by Senator Cotillo would have Court of
Appeals judges appointed by the Gov
ernor. with the consent of the Senate,
instead of elected, and provides that not
more than four shall be members of the
same political party.
Another measure by Senator Cotillo
creates a pardon board OF three MEM
bers to be appointed by the Governor.
with the consent of the Senate. Nearly
every Governor for years has complained
of the time and .worrys he has been

Mr.. Whitman refused to discuss any

police may have played in withdrawal,

LIQUOR except as heretofore quoted. Capt
Howard of the West Thirtieth street
station and some Of his men whom Mr.
Chilvers examined yesterday or the day
before were inclined to be resentful be-
cause, although their subpenas de-
manded their presence before the Grand
Jury they were merely privately ques-
toned by the lawyer. In behalf OF these
men a version was gfvea of the princi-
pal charges so far under investigation
and of the alleged facts regarding them.
In the first place II had been sus-
pected that the West Thirtieth street
and West Thirty-seventh street stations
had been used as storage places for rum
The fact was. according to the police
that fifteen cases of the stuff were
seized by the police OF the West Thirty
seventh street station in a Thirty-eighth
street garage early In December. kept
overnight In the station house and de-
livered to the Federal authorities the
next morning. The owner Of the truck.
upon discovering the nature OF his cargo,
himself reported its presence to Capt
Howard, who ordered the seizure, ac-
cording to the police version. 1t was
then discovered that the liquor had been
legally withdrawn from bond. and by
order OF United States Commissioner
Hitchcock was turned over to the man
who owned It,
In the second case Mr.. Chilvers had
been informed that a detective of the
West Thirtieth street station had been
selling liquor This, according to the
police, had been Investigated by the po-
lice and Federal enforcement agents and
II was found that the wife of the detec-
tive had permit for the withdrawal of
the liquor for cooking purposes in her
restaurant. She was said to have dis
posed Of some Of II. but the police in
sistedsyesterday that she had the proper
permission for this also. and that she
and her husband were exonerated by
Federal as well as Police Department
Investigators.
In the third case. II was alleged that
Capt Howard had quantity of liquor
in his office in the West Thirtyseventh
street station house. This, the police
said. was seized in a raid on premises to
which II had been carried by thieves.
The police then located the man from
whom the liquor had been stolen. ascer-
tanned that it was lawfully his, and re-
stored it to him.

Albany. Feb. 2.
New York city likes daylight saving

plea OF the metropolis was made to-day
TO the Legislature at a public hearing
on the pending bill to repeal the existing

Just how much New York enjoys the

their work TO the change OF hours. II
Is not possible for the city workers to do
this. because the hours during which
most OF their work Is performed such as

SIkINGS REPUBLICANS TO
ENDORSE MILLER PLAN
Formal Action Will Not Be
Taken at Meeting To-day.

Gov. Miller's plan for the solution of
New York city's traction difficulties will
be one OF the important matters dis
cussed this afternoon at the monthly
meeting of the Kings County Republican
executive committee. AS the general
feeling among the organization leaders
-@s- that no definite action should be taken
prior to the actual presentation of the
bills in the Legislature 1t Is probable
that no formal resolutions of Endorsement
will be passed.
However, word was received here last
night from Albany that such progress
had been made in the drafting of the
measures as TO make II possible to In
troduce them early next week. 1t may
be the bills will be out In time to have
the Kings County Republican general
committee pass upon them at its monthly
meeting Tuesday.
Jacob A. Livingston, Kings county
leader; William NJ. Calder. United States
Senator and L. J. II. kracke, the three
expressed their approval OF the Miller
plan. So there seems to be no doubt
that it will be indorsed by the County
Committee when put into the shape of
concrete bills.
Gov Miller has laid down a set Of
principles" said one leader last night,
"and now the bill of particulars will
CONC. along. We hear that the work of
: dfafting the bills has reached the stage
where some of the features are being
checked back" tN
The monthly meeting of the New York
County Republican Committee does not
come until the third Thursday. two
weeks from tonight, and in ordinary
circumstances the executive committee
would not meet until that afternoon. II
is proba Bile, however. that a ma ajority of
the twenty-three district leaders will at
tend the conference of the countys mem
bers of the Legislature to be held at
headquarters on Saturday afternoon.
George A. Glynn, chairman OF the
State Committee, returning from Albany
yesterday, said the number of COM

ernor on his traction message was re-
,narkable.
