Leaders of Stage Art
Appear in Legion Show

Friends of the S. Rankin Drew Post,
the Allied Amusement Unit of the
American Legion, crowded the Hip
podrome last night to witness the
posts second annual show.
The prominence of the actors who
participated and the enthusiasm of the
big audience were in accord with the
stage traditions which have become
identified with the post because of its
having been named in memory of S.
Rankin Drew, the son of the late Sid
ney Drew, the comedian.
Raymond Hitchcock as "oficer of
the day" introduced the acts. Z. H.
burnside was general stage director.
Ethel Barrymore, aided by Bruce Nc
Rae, appeared in a revival of Gar
rots." She was also supported by
Lucille Watson and Eva LIE Gallienne.
John Drew, another member Of the
family whose name the post bears, was
given cordial reception.
Just Nothing" was the title of a
sketch in which D. w. Griffith and

score of Broadway stars. One of the
novelties was an act from war play

Trains Held Up by Blaze
In Grand Central Tunnel

Fire in a signal tower in the tun-
mel at Fifty seventh Street and Park
Avenue, which sent eff clouds Of
sitting smoke, delayed all incoming
and outgoing trains at the Grand Cen
trail Terminal for twenty minutes yes
terdav morning. Defective insulation
was the cause.
A number of fremen were forced
back when they tried to penetrate the
tunnel. Thousands were attracted by
the smoke.
All entrances to the terminal were
crowded. Two or three trains ran
through the smoke. but when the fire
was discovered all were held up. The
current was turned off and shortly
afterward all lights were turned out
in the tunnel.
The blaze was discovered by an EN-
ployee, who saw smoke issuing from
the tower. He notified the main Of
fee, which in turn sent in an alarm.
Captain Donovan and an engine COM
pany entered the tunnel at the Fifty
seventh Street entrance and made
short work of the fire. Lights were
repaired at once. Trains were routed
along tracks not adjacent to the de-
fective tower. The heavy smoke re-
NAMED in the tunnels for some time.

Sharp Senate Fight
Forecast ON Army
And Navy Budgets
Opposition to Increased AID.
preparations, Led by
Borah, Expected to Cause
Several Days of Debate
From The Trioune,s washinoton p,,r,,

WASHINGTON. May 15.-The Sem
ate will be involved in controversy
over naval and army appropriations
this week which probably will occupv
most of the time from Monday to Sat
urday.
Although the debate over the naval
bill has continued for three DAYS, little
progress has been made in disposing
OF the measure. Only uncontroverted
amendments, or those involving little
difference of opinion, have been dis
posed of. The chief features of the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee in
creases have been passed over for con-
sideration this week.
Senator Poindexter will call the bill
up again tomorrow and endeavor to
expedite it. But inasmuch as the op-
position to the enlarged bill, led by
Senator Borah, has still much to say
against some of the amendments, it is
expected two or three days will be con-
sumed before final vote can be
forced. The issue of disarmament or
rc%uctlon of ornaments by agreement
Will be fought over and will take con-
siderable time.
liz IiIe emu Inc Dill Is expected to
pass as the committee reported it, al
though there is close situation with
respect to a disarmament amendment
and Senator Borah has some hope of
forcing such an amendment into the
bill.
House leaders are watching the
progress of the naval bill in the Sem
ate closely. They are concerned over
the Senate increases because elements
in the House are threatening to upset
the House Appropriations Committee
any increases over the House bill,
which carried about $t00,000,000. =
Hardly will the naval bill be out Of
the way in the Senate when the army
appropriation bill will come up. The
Military Affairs Committee, Senator
Wadsworth chairman, hopes to report
the bill about the middle of the week.
In that event, it will be up soon after
the naval bill.
With the House in favor of a 10000
army and Secretary Weeks urging one
of 5000, there is sure to develop in
the Senate almost as sharp a contest
over the size of the army as is now
on over the navy. The Military Al
fairs Committee has majority of
members who favor the larger army
and is expected to report what Secre-
tary Weeks wants. But there will be
stiff opposition on the floor of the Sen
ate and, if that body stands by the
$4,000 army, there may be a deadlock
between the two houses.

Birth Abraham Convention to
Receive Resolutions

ATLANTIC CITY, May 15.--At the
opening session of the annual conven-
ton of the Independent Order of Birth
Abraham here to-day it was announced
that resolutions would be presented
later in the meeting denouncing Henry
Ford. The resolutions, it was said,
would declare Ford unjust in his at
tempts to delineate Jewish characters.
The feeling among many delegates is
said to be intense over the articles
that have been appearing for several
months in the Ford publications.
Among the leaders in the protest are
Representative Nathan Perlman, of
New York; Chief Justice Aaron Levy,
of the Municipal Court of New York
City; Assemblyman Nathan Liberman,
of New York, and Councilman Gins
burg, of Philadelphia. The resolutions

Jobs for Ex-service Men

An entertainment and ball will be
given tonight at Hotel Pennsylvania
for the benefit of the morale fund OF
the Ex-Service Mems Employment
Bureau, Inc.
The bureau, which has been incor-
porated since February, is the only
one of its kind in the state and has
been obtaining positions for ex-seryice
men since February without fee of any
kind from either the employer or the
employee. 1t has in the past been
maintained by private donation, but
because of the great number of resi-
dent men who are without work or
funds has been forced to resort to
outside means for money if the proper
assistance is to be given.
The bureau, which has its head
quarters at the Victory Hall Associa-
ton, 4 East Forty-third Street, has the
Endorsement of the American Legion
and the Charity Organization Society
of the City of New York.
The Knickerbocker Civic League is
planning a bazaar and dance for the
wounded of Fox Hills Hospital which
promises to provide many comforts for
the veterans at that institution. The
affair is scheduled for the afternoon
and evening of June at the 7th Regi-
ment Armory, and feature will be the
award OF an automobile to the holder
of 81 number to be drawn at the even
ing session.

League Of Business
Men Seeks Choice
For Next Governor
To Back Candidate Who Has
Horse Sense and Opposed
to Upstate Domination
of Metropolis, Says Lynn

Preston P. Lynn, who has frequently
been mentioned for the Democratic
nomination for Mayor, in forma
statement yesterday said that it was
the intention of the Business Mems
League TO organize statewide cam
paigp at once for the election of &
business man as the next Governor Of

The league, or one with a similar
name, was the organization which spon.
sored the nomination of John F. Hyiar
for Mayor four years ago after he had
been decided upon by Charles F. Muir.
ply, William Il. Hearst and John H
McCooey. The incorporation of the
league as a state organization as well
as local political factor, with Mr.
Lynn as president, was recently noted
but the actual purpose of the new state
league was not disclosed until Mr.
Lynn made his announcement yester-
day.
I'VE find throughout the state, but
particularly in New York City," said
Mr.. Lynn, "a decided sent,m ent for the
election as Governor Of a man who
mas business sense--horss sense, if YOU
care to call it by so homely a name
We ind everywhere. among men of all
classes and of every political creed
reorganization to place in the capitol
at Albany man who recognizes the
tact that New York City is the greatest
metropolis in the world and able to
govern itself.
We find throughout the state de.
clded sentiment for home rule, be.
cause every rural community realizes
the danger of establishing a precedent
whereby New York City is governed nv
upstate interests, or, on the other
hand, whereby upstate Municipalities
are controlled by New York.
The Business Mems League intends
TO crystalline" continued Mr.. LYNN,
what seems to be a statewide demand
Tor hard-headed, businesslike execu-
tive: We are not looking for a man of
wealth who seeks to round out a ca
reef; we want sturdy man of younger
years who is willing to place his bust,
ness experience and energy at the dis.
posai OF the people of New York State
ms league of business men is or.
gained for the distinct purpose OF
supporting such candidate. and 4
makes no difference to US whether he
IS Democrat or a Republican. We
beheve the candidate we shall select
tnaIly will be the next Governor OF
TINS state because he will be a man
big enough for this office and one alb.
solutely independent Of the interests
which hamper self overnment of the
people as a whole"
The headquarters of the league are
now at 300 Madison Avenue, and a gen.
eral invitation will soon be issued tc
all business men to affiliate with The
organization.
Mr.; Lynn was asked if the league
would concern itself with the municipa
election next fall. He said the New
York City Business Mems League woulc
undoubtedly be most active in Joca
affairs. but that the development of the
tate-wide campaign would be the first
consideration of both the state and CITY
incorporated bodies of the league.

Various British industries are re-

competition, according to the bank,
which says:
German quotations have been re-
ceived recently for rock-cutting ma
chine for $3.50. The lowest English
quotation was about $1,000. German
competition in electrical machinery
also is very severe. Bids recently were
invited for a 10000-kilowatt turbo al
ternator, and eighteen British, French
ana German manufacturers competed.
German quotations were G47,O00 with
delivery in ten months, against English
quotations of $4,000 and s95,11O, with
delivery IN from twelve to eighteen

were sent to Hamburg to be refitted on
