HYLAN TURNS GUNS
ON INJUNCTION JIM
Nieknames Justice CrOpsey for
Stopping City Buses in
Brooklyn.

Mayor John +. Hylan added "Injunc-
tion Jim" to his list of niclnames for
supporters of Henry II. Curran in more
than half dozen speeches In Brooklyn
last night. the list having previously
included Subway Sam Untermyerr and
William Traction Jerome" By "Tnjunc-
ton Jim" the Mayor meant Justice
James c. Cropsey Of the Supreme Court
In Brooklyn. who recently nade cam
paign speech in favor OF the candidacy
Of Mr.. Curran.
Injunction Jim Subway Sam and
Traction Jerome" said Mr.. Hylan
comprise the trio who are playing the
political dirge for the traction candi-
dates"
Most of Mr.. Hylan's speech last night
consisted of attacks on the personal
records and characteristics of Mr. I'm
terrnyer. Mr.. Jerome and Justice Crop
sey. with some slight attention to Mr.
Curran. The coalition candidate, Mr..
Hylan declared. was the most neglectfuI
member OF the Board of Estimate the
city has ever had. and he produced a
list of twenty-nine meetings Of the
board. declaring that Mr.. Curran at.
tended only two.
a." said Mr.. Hylan. presided over
every one Of theese meetings and hear
ings."
Mr.. Hylan in applying the name OF
injunction Jim" to Justice Cropsey
said that 1t was because the Justice
had issued an injunction which forced
the city to discontinue the operation OF
buses in Brooklyn on the ground that
they violated the provisions Of the y. r
It's franchise. This. the Mayor declared
compelled the people Of Brooklyn to pay
two fares to the transit company in
stead of one fare to the bus line.
"In connection with Cropsey's appear
ance on the stump" the Mayor said, ais
1t not significant that when traction
wants service It presses the button and
the lackey appears--even If the appear
ance means that he nlcst step down from
the bench and ascend the political plat
form? Their political needs are para.
mount Judicial propricty must yielt

In referring to Mr.. Jerome the Mayor
called him ''thc discredited Jerome. hire
ling of the traction ring. SO far debaset
that he sees nothing improper In his
espousal Of the traction cause at $4,000
a night. Could there be any lower politi
cal morality than that of the recrean
Jerome, this political Judas?

PETITION TO REMOVE
JUSTICE LEVY LOST
Appellate Bench Sustains
Outside Occupations

A petition asking for the removal of
Presiding Justice Aaron J. Levy Of the
Municipal Court. on the ground he was
engaged in business, contrary to the ju-
dicial law. and on the special ground
that the character OF his occupations
outside of court was such as to influ-
ence decisions which he might be re-
quired to make as a Judge. was dis
missed yesterday by the Appellate Divi-
sion OF the Supreme Court.
The petition. which was presented by
benjamin Schleslnger. Harry Wander
and Salvatore Ninto, charged that JUS
tice Levy owned a controlling interest in
Mllgrim e. Brothers. manufacturers of
women's suits. and that ,he was in the
moving picture business and had an in
terest In the newspaper Wdrheit.
The court found that Justice Levy
does own 10 per cent. of the Milgrim
stock and owns stock In the Wdrheit
but has no hand in its management. and
that he has never been connected with
a moving picture concern.

LIES LAID TO HYLAN
IN LOCKWOOD REPLY
Nominees Only Excuse for
Mayor Is Some One Handed
FalsehOods to Him.

"Lies" is the short and ugly word
applied yesterday by Senator Charles
c. Lockwood, Republican-coalition nomi-
nee for Comptroller. to statements made
! about him on Thursday night by Mayor
Hylan in desperate effort to prevent
the defeat of Charles l.. Craig, Tam
many candidate for Comptroller. The
Senator charitably expressed the opinion
that the falschoods must have been
handed to the Mayor by some one else.
A letter sent by the Senator to the
Mayor last night said in part:
You stated introduced a bill tc
relieve subway contractors on the
ground that their contemplated profits
did not materialize.
Your own records show ! introduced
a bill, opposed by subway contractors
favored by union labor and civic asso-
Citations and approved by you in writ
ing. before 1t became a law. II this
was Il bad bill. why did you approve it?
You stated the Lockwood -Lusk bill
would cost the city millions of dollars.
This is false statement There
never was a Lockwood-Lusk bill. Lock-
wood voted against the Lusk contractors
bill and fought it for four years.
You stated the contractors are crate
ful to Senator Lockwood for his services
and they are spending money literally
to elect him.
This is a lie! I know no contractors
and no contractor has contributed tc
my campaign fund. You know that ]
helped expose contract after contract
with the city, approved by city authori-
ties, and which your own Corporation
Counsel, John p. O'Brien, said were
colluslve and fraudulent
Your criticism Of the Housing Com.
mittee Is equally untrue and unjust
You pervert the facts Of the case you
! mention.
''The statement that had witnesse.
In cases against the city testify falsely
as to land values Is a deliberate lie.
"You state that my mandatory legis-
lation added $4,000. 900 to the budget
''The only mandatory legislation in
troduced by me and passed by the Leg
islaturc were the bills increasing the
salaries of the teaching and SUPERVISING
| force In the public schools. You vetoed
the first bill the schools were in a criti
cal condition, hundreds of classes were
| without teachers and thousands of chil
dren were being sent home daily, ac
| cording to the figures Of the Board o.
| Education you appointed. The Legisla
| ture had to meet the critical school sit
uation. and the Republicans. Democrats
and Socialists Joined and passed tn,
| Statewide bills to save the schools
| Gov. Smith. to his great credit, signed
these bills over your protest and that o
Comptroller Craig"
Senator Lockwood added that he wal
proud of his part in the school increase
and that they were responsible for fore
ing the Mayor and his colleagues 10 ac
| cede to the demands of policemen, fire
men and street cleaners for better pay
In his speeches last night Mr. Lock
wood said: ''If the Mayor and tn

mean that they favor cutting IL dow
and putting the teachers back on starva

command OF language is the admiration Of those
who worship impeccabe enunciation and
meticulous selection OF words, but he talks, all
right. IT, you doubt this statement, slip in
quietly some time when Baby is holding court,
and give attention to proceedings. His or her

baby has learned to utter words with precision,

than rs cents, and enough of the

With this couple the further fact
that there is in the world today un-
manufactured approximately two
years supply of virgin wool, and Mr..
Cohan's alleged fear of scarcity of
virgin wool and prohibitive prices
appears ludicrous indeed.
The Truth in Fabric" bill will put

Gin wool, and when that is done.
then. but not till then, the law of
supply and demand will operate, and
the amount of virgin wool produced
and available will be in exact pro-
portion to the peoples needs and
demands.
II the peoples demand for virgin
wool were permitted to reach the
wool grower, thus stabilizing the
market for virgin wool, scores and
scores of farmers through the east
south and central west would keep
sheep. and instead of having only
oo,00O,O0O head as today we would
have 200,000.0C9 or more, and there
would be an abundance of virgin
