Affairs Suggested.
DISCUSSES FARE ISSUE

A personal and confidential" COM
members of the coalition committee by
Chairman Joseph M. Price for the pur-
pose of obtaining their views on the
proposed traction planks for the coming
Mayoralty campaign was given out yes
terday by David Hirshfield, Commis-
sioner Of Accounts. as another move
against the forces that are attempting
to frame an anti-Tammany ticket and
platform. The communication takes the
form of a set of suggestions from which
their views as to tho merits of the
planks. All the suggestions attack the
Hylan administration
The first suggestion, labelled "a" says
that the administra tion has talked for
Tour years without results, the only
thing done looking toward a solution
having been the naming Of State COM
mission. The Hylan administration's
part in handling the situation is de-
piored, and the suggestion then goes on
to say that the city needs no State as
sistance in transacting business. In sug-
gesuon "A" 1t Is stated that the tran
sit problem Is about to be solved speedily
and fairly by the Transit Commission
and that therefore a fair fare is in
sight.
Suggestion "B" starts with a clause
condemning the Hylan regime for the
"incompetency and indecency character
istic of its handling OF all traction and
public utility questions" It accuses the
Mayor of responsibility for the Miller
traction bills and points to them as in
conflict with the principles of home rule.
This plank suggestion demands an ad-
ministration that will justify home rule
In transit matters, says a five cent fare
should prevail, but places above this the
maintenance Of proper service.
Suggestion &C" would have the transit
plank contain the l,ronouncement that
the coalition committee is opposed to
higher fares and favors lower telephone,
gas and electric rates as we'll
1t was regarded as likely yesterday
that report will be made tomorrow
night at the meeting of the sub-commit-
tee OF twenty-nine in the Commodore on
the preliminary work on the coalition
platform. The result OF the conference
at the Commodore will be reported to the
full committee at the Pennsylvania

JUMP
OFF FERRY IN CRASH
Fifty Leap to Decks of the
Henry r. Mallory When
Vessels Grind Together.

The fog and the storm yesterday held
up several liners many hours ami caused
a collision between the ferryboat Gran
ford Of the Central Railroad OF New
Jersey fleet and the Mallory liner
Henry r. Mallory. bound in from Gal
weston. Nobody was seriously hur. IN
the smash. but fifty travellers from New
Jersey. bound for Manhattan, became
panicky and abandoned the tersyboat
in the middle of the North River by
jumping aboard the liner whicn landed
some Of them at the Mallory pier.
others were taken ashore by tugs.
The Mallory drifted into the Crawford
stern first, forced down stream by
strong ebb tide, just after the fsrryboat
left her Communipaw slip. bound for
the foot of Liberty street. with about
200 passengers. The shock OF impact
knocked down some of them aid the
crashing OF Joiner work In the super
structure of the Crawford gave many
the impression that the ferryboat was
about to sink. While the ships were
clinging together about fifty men ran
to the upper deck and Jumped into the
Mallory. some shedding overcoa-s TO cx-
pedfte their leap.
After the ships drifted apart 1t was
seen by the skipper and men of the fer
ryboat that she was undamaged in hull
and she proceeded to her Liberty street
slip. The Crawford went back to Jer-
sey City under her own steam and laid
up for repairs. The Mallory was only
slightly damaged.
The White Star steamship Adriatic
was held UP four hours off Liberty ISL

ports, played blindman's buff off the

way clear to haven.
Storm and traffic trouble on the Will

lonesome fcrryboat plying between
Broadway. Brooklyn, and Grand street

lam that lasted several hours, the ferry
boat doing the business OF its career un-
til the bridge became available.
A rain and thaw converted the snow
into slush, but enabled the Street
Cleaning Department to employ about
4 900 extra men. The fall lasted long
enough to warrant the snow removal
