Court Reserves Decision
On Receiver for Rickard

Justice Guy yesterday reserved de-
cision on an application by counsel
for Frank c. Arm strong for appoint
ment of receiver for Tex Rickard, the
Madison Square Garden Corporation
and the Madison Square Sporting Club,
both controlled by Rickard.
Armstrong; move for receivership
is part Of an action brought by him for
an accounting of several sporting un-
dertakings by Rickard, including the
Johnson-Jeffries fight, for which Arm
strong says he obtained the necessary
financial support, but never received
his share of the profits. The purpose
Of the receivership, Thomas F. O'Neill,
attorney for Arm strong, explained, was
to prevent dissipation of the assets
of the two corporations in which Rick
ard is interested. Mr.. O'Neill charac-
terized Richard as "a wanderer on the
face of the earth," whose word could
not be taken seriously in financial mat
ters.
Nathan Burkan, attorney for Rick
ard, said the two corporations in which
the sporting man and his hackers were
interested represented an investment
of $565,00O and that Armstrong had no
interest in these enterprises for which
he asks receivership. Mr.. Burkan
said that when Rickard took over Madi-
son Square Garden, Ringling Brothers,
the circus owners, filed a 100000 bond
for him and later deposited further
security amounting to $4,000 in cash.
receivership, Mr.. Burkan argued,
would practically wipe out both corpor-
ations and cause Ringing Brothers to
lose this money.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.~~Allocation

sentatives OF ports, steamship lines
and the connecting trans-continental
railroads at q hearing in the board

statement by Chairman A. D. Lasker,
who said it was the govcrnmen in
tention ultimately to sell the ships
that are to be established on the routes
to be determined. Mr.. Lasker laid
boards desire that each port should
sponsor tho steamship company or
companies applying for allocations and
that the latter should submit financial

history, personnel and other connec-
tions.

the petition Of the applicants for a1lo-
cations and would make recommends
tions to the board after they had in
vestiRated and considered the financial
status and stability Of those requiring
steamers Of the "535" and 1902" types.
Frank c. Munson. president of the
Munson Line. said that he had con-
tract with the board, dated August 6,
1920, for Ave "535" steamers and had
already received two-the American
Legion and the Southern Cross He
asked that the balance be allocated to
him as soon az possible, as trade condi-
tions with Brazil, Uruguay and Argen-
tina warranted their being placed in
service.

United States Lines. said that the
agents operating that company for the
board were deslrous of withdrawing G
the Princess Matoika, the Hudson and
the Potomac on the Bremen run and
substituting three "535" steamers in
their place. He also requested the
board to permit the withdrawal of the
two 1902" steamers on the London
route and replace them with the
Princess Matoika and the Potomac,
after the latter had been permanently
reconditioned, so they could success
fully compete with foreign lines

cruiser screen idea to mask che move
mcnts Of main feet.
A battle cruiser, IL WAS said, would
have power and speed to crush through
such q limo, locate the masked feet and
escape to It's own feet with the vital
information.
At best, however, it is now said, bat
tlo cruisers Of the largest type yet
planned would not exceed thirty-hvc
knots speed, while aircraft capable of
one hundred knots an hour, immune
from attack by surface craft as long
as they stayed high in sir and cheap
of construction, can operate much
moro effectively when It is necessary
to know what may lay behind an enemy
screen.
The other point in favor Of battle
cruiser construction was that they
could form swift wing for fighting
feet, able to lie In the line OF battle
to some extent because Of their heavy
guns, equalling in size and power those
of the battleships.
That theory Is now held to have gone
by the board at tho battle of Jutland
What happened to the battle cruisers
there engaged, it was said, proved they
could not lie in the line.

St. Lawrence Canal
Project Upheld by
Gov. Henry Allen
Opposition Assailed
as Unwarranted by Kansas
Executive, Who Sees Plan
as Boon to Entire Nation

Expressing the sentiment of eighteen
Middle Western states which favor the
proposed construction of the st. Law
renee ship canal, Governor II. j. Allen
Of Kansas last night challenged the OBJ
iections to the project as made recently
by Governor Miller.
Governor Alien was addressing gath
ering of engineers and technical men at
the forum in the Engineering Societies
Building, 90 West Thirty-ninth Street:
The meeting was under the auspices Of
the American Society of Mechanical En-
gineers and allied national engineering
societies, and was for the purpose of
hearing the views Of the Middle Western
advocates of the plan by which the
United States would join with Canada
and pay half of the initial expense Of
$250,000,000 for the canalization of the
st. Lawrence River, to permit deep
water traffic between the Great Lakes
an dthe Atlantic seaboard.
Governor Allen said that Governor
Miller's opposition to the project was
based on four points:
/. That 1t Is an impractical project
that is bound to fail, because 1t is
scientifically: impossible.
waterway deep enough to float the
navies OF England and, thereby, intro
duce in time Of war the danger Of hav-
ing invested our border with an iron
foe.
3-That the project will waste a lot
Of money and not produce enough of
channel to foat successfully any con-
siderable commerce.
4-That the enterprise will be of
great profit to Canada, by reason of the
transportation and waterpower with
which it will endow the St. Lawrence.
Governor Allen said that Governor
Miller did not give the Middle West
any chance at all by exhausting all the
possibilities on both sides Of the pro-
ject. He elaborated his contentious
that the canal was not only possible,
but practical, and that it would be a
boon to the whole country.
Other speakers were Ex-Governor w.
l.. Harding, of Iowa; Fl. /. Hartman,
president Of the New England Power
Company, of Boston; DR.: r. $. Nc
Elwee, dean of the School of Foreign
Service of Georgetown University, and
Julius Barnes Of New York.

fore the conference, since it would
permit greater liberty Of confidential
expression among the representatives
of the various governments and would
obviate much Of the procedure that
would be necessary should the sessions
continue entirely in the open. Another
argument used by those who favored
the proposal was that it would facili-
tate such notifications Of program as
might become necessary through
changes in the personnel of the va
rious delegations and in the diplomatic
situation generally confronting the
conference.
All Delegates To BE Heard
One result of the decision may be to
conference the last Of those which pre-
cede the period of actual decision Of
the questions on which the negotia-
tions hinge. The most optimistic
officials do not expect the committees
to be able to report without long study
and debate. 1t is pointed out that
there is no injunction against an open
committee meeting, but the likelihood
Of such a development is generally
conceded to be remote at the present
state of the negotiations.
An additional result, at least at the
beginning, will be to permit the whole
body of delegates to deal with subjects
before the conference, instead Of leav-
ing the decisions to the "big five" or
the "big nine" Creation of sub-com-
mittees is provided for in the plan,
however, should that step be found
advisable.
1t was indicated that at to-day's
meetings Secretary Hughes, for the
American delegation, had proposed
open sessions in principle, with frc-
other governments wanted absolute
secrecy and the committee plan was
decided on by way Of a compromise.

Recount Shows Harris
Reelected as Alderman

A recount of votes for Alderman in
the Twenty-frst Aldermanic District,
Harlem, as turned into the Board of
Elections last Tuesday night, shows
that Alderman George W. Harris, Re-
publican, a negro, was reelected, in

Democratic candidate, also negro,

police returns. Smith defeated Harris
by 95 votes.
The recount shows Harris received
5,983 votes and Smith 5,88S. Alderman
Harris said last night there had never
been doubt in his mind that he was
elected, and added his belief that he
would be installed when the Aldermen
had chance to canvass the votes.
Harris was born in Topeka, Kan,
August 1, 1884. He began life as cow
puncher, came East as young man
and entered Harvard, working his way
through. He was graduated in 1907 and

Experts Say Aircraft Doom
Battle Cruisers to Scrap-Heap

WASHINGTON, Nov. ~ (By Tho AS
sociated Press Tho Washington con-
ference will spell the end for battle
cruisers as naval weapons, is the opin-
ion of many naval officers hero. 1t Is
not alone, 1t was said to-day, that the
American proposals for naval reduc-
tions seem to tend toward elimination
Of these craft from future fleets, but
aircraft developments and the battle
Of Jutland are held by some naval ex-
perts to have answered in the mega
tive the theories ON which battle cruiser
construction was first undertaken.
1t may we'll be that the willingness
Of the United States, under the reduc-
tion proposals submitted by Secretary
Hughes to the conference, which would
leave the American feet without battle
cruisers, although Great Britain and
Japan wDuld retain four each, rests
partly at least on these conditions,
The original argument for battle
cruisers was that swift, heavily armed
ships would be invaluable for scouting
purposes to go ahead Of the battle fleet
and establish touch with the enemy.

Writ Temporarily
Gusts Curb Market
From Broad Street
Court Agrees With Business
Firms That Operation Is
n Nuisance; Criticizes
Police for Permitting 1t

On the petition of several corpora
tions owning large Office buildings in
the neighborhood, Justices Lydon yes
terday granted temporary injunction
restraining the members Of the Curb
Stock and Bond Market, Inc, from
continuing their operations on the
Broad Street curb, between Exchange
Place and Beaver street.
The court agreed with the petitioners
that the shouts of the curb brokers
and the crowds that they attracted
constituted nuisance. The petitioners
were the Broad Exchange Company,
Western Union Telegraph Company,
Johnston Building Estates Corporation,
White Oil Realty Corporation, Wall
Street Journal Building Company, and
the Seaboard National Bank. The in
junction will be in effect until the
merits Of the controversy are tried in
will be permanently ruled off the stree ct
or the temporary restraining order will
be vacated and the sale Of securities
will continue.
n. l.. Casey, secretary Of the Curb
Stock and Bond Market of New York,
announced that an immediate appeal
would be taken from the order of
Justice Lydon.
It was the contention of the organi-
zat1on using the street that it acquired
the rights from the New York Curb
Market Exchange, which formerly
operated there, but now occupies a
building on Trinity Place. Justice
Lydon ruled that she New York Curb
Market Exchange had no right to turn
it's street stand over to its successor.
The justice said the use of the street
and the obstruction to travel were
nothing short Of fragrant nuisance. "
He added: "However, one fact re-
mains self-evident, and that is that The
Police Department has for years, by
its inactivity, sanctioned this illegal
use of the street. If the police did
their duty they would remove from
Broad Street all persons who ATTEMPT
to use it for trading as complained Of
and there would be need for an appli
cation for an injunction."
