Steinberg Banking Bill
Is Opposed by Gerard
Contention Urged That Foreign
Institutions Could Transfer
Deposits io Europe

ALBANY, Feb. 15.-James w. Gerard,
former Ambassador to Germany, ap-
peared to-day at joint hearing before
the legislative committees on banking
in opposition to the Steinberg bill,
which would give foreign banks per-
mission to transact banking business
in New York City under conditions
similar to those under which state
banks operate, but with restrictions.
Mr.. Gerard's chief objection to the bill
was that foreign banks could transfer
deposits made in their branches in this
country to their European headquar-
ters.
Stuart Browne, representing the
United Real Estate Owners, appeared
for the bill. He declared that Mr.. Ge-
rard's objection could be met with an
amendment which would require for
eign banks doing business here to in
vest their American deposits in Ameri-
can securities. He said the big bank
ing and financial interests favored the
bill because they wanted to obtain all
possible credit for export trade. A
measure of this kind, he added, would
help improve foreign business rela-
tions. He said most foreign countries
accorded American banks the privilege
which this measure would extend to
foreign banks here.

Brooklyn Congressman Ex-
plains Reasons for Asking
Federal Inquiry Into the
Advance of $4,000, 900
Wants Details for Public
Asks il Receiver Was APP
pointed to Avoid Terms
of Scent Fare Contract

Representative Lester D. Volk, of
Brooklyn, in statement issued yester-
day, explained his reasons for asking
for a Congressional investigation of
the S17,000000 loan made to the B. r.
I. in 1918 by the War Finance Cor
poration. Mr.. Volk said his purpose
was to make public all the CORE
spondence and records regarding the
loan.
"The loan, according to the CORE
spondence, was made to ward off the
financial collapse of the B. R. t." said
Mr. Volk. "Yet few months after
the $17000,000 was paid over to the
B. r. T., that company was thrown
into the hands Of receiver. Then, a
few months after the receiver was ap-
pointed. he issued $18,000,000 in re
ceiver's certificates. These receivers
certificates became a priority loan, TAX
ing precedence over the governments g
$17,000,000 loan. This $18,0OO,000 loan
of the receiver must be met before the
government can expect to get back a
penny of its $17,000,O0O investment.
what investigation of the financial
condition of the B. r. T. was made
by the directors of the War Finance
Corporation or its advisers before
spending SO much of the public's
money in a then tottering corporation !
Did the same haste prevail as in secur-
ing the approval of Comptroller Craig,
speaking for the city authorities?

Girl, Bound and Gagged,
Tells Real Thriller Tale

Regina Foley, fourteen years old, Of
1877 South Tenth Street, Newark, on
Monday night went to moving picture
theater where films with plenty of
action are shown. IN one of the PIC
lures Regina saw a burglar scene and
q fight over a girl.
Yesterday when Regina's mother got
up to prepare breakfast she found
Regina on the floor at the entrance to
her room. Her hands and feet were
bound with handkerchiefs and bits of
cloth. A gag made of a handkerchief
was in her mouth.
The girl lay partly in a bedroom
where two of her sisters were sleeping,
and partly in the kitchen which opens
off the bedroom. Regina occupied a
bed with her sisters.
The girl told the police that she
awoke about 2 o'clock and, feeling i'll
started toward the kitchen to get a
drink. She was about to turn on the
water, she said, when man seized her
and placed his hand over her mouth
She added that she thought the man
chloroformed her. Her feet and hands
were TIED and gag was put in her
mouth, she said. Then she fell asleer
and remembered nothing further until
awakened by her mother.

Anti Tanlnany
Democrats Plan
An Organization
Committee of Ten Named
at Hotel Astor Meeting
to Outline Policy; Hylan
Administration Attacked

Anti -Tammany Democrats, meeting
at the Hotel Astor last night, took the
first step toward the creation of per
manent organization.
After a discussion of the plans and
purposes of the proposed new political
body, committee of ten, two from
each borough, was appointed to begin
organization Of the Independent Dem
ocratic forces in the greater city at
once. The committee has power to
add ten women representing the five
boroughs later on.
Last nights conference was attended
by about twenty leading Democrats
from the various boroughs who are
dissatisfied with the present Tammany
organization and who are working to
cleanse it or supplant it by d new
body. Dennis O'Leary, former District
dresses were made by D. c. Oliver, for
nler Representative from the 23d Dis
trict; County Clerk William F. Schnei-
der, ex-senator John j. Sheridan and
others.
Those present expressed the opinion
that the new organization should not
come out at this time for any candidates
or policies, although there was consid-
cradle debate on the transit question
and the direct primary law. There
was general condemnation of Mayor
Hylan's administr stration, Hugo Wilmer,
an attorney, declaring it "the jest and
butt of the nation"
Mr. OLeary declared that the ma
jority of the people were against Gov
ernor Miller's transit plan and thought
the public would find way to protest
against the implied proposition to take
from the city its control over its in
vestment of $3.50 100000 in local transit
lines. He said the transit situation
was the result of the four years. mud
ding of the Tammany administration.
He added that it was. not the purpose
of the new organization to overthrow
Tammany Hall if the old body could
be restored to better condition.
There were some suggestions of
fusion with Republicans, while others
believed that the new party would be
received favorably by the public on a
daylight saving or scent fare issue.
1t was finally decided to set all issues
aside and concentrate on organization.
The committee of ten appointed con-
sists of Mr.. Schneider and Samuel F..
Hyman, Manhattan; ex-senator Sheri-
dan and John S. Turner, the Bronx;
DR.. Arthur Keating and Philip Frank,
Queens; John F. Farrell and John Nc
Henry, Richmond, and D. C. Jackson
and Henry Hammond, Brooklyn.

meeting of the anti-Tammany Demo-

Car Ablaze ON Crowded
Subway Train in Bronx
Passengers Imprisoned Many
Feet Underground, but
All Escape Injury

Passengers on a Bronx Park express
of the Seventh Avenue subway line
were thrown into confusion early this
morning when the third car of a
crowded ten-car train suddenly burst
into flames. The train was travelling
at high speed between the 135th Street
and the Mott Avenue station.
The train was stopped Immediately
A hasty examination showed that the
fire was burning briskly on the trucks
Of the third car. The train began to
fill rapidly with smoke and panic
among the theater-goers, who filed the
cars, was narrowly averted.
Motorman Dawson started the train
while guards in the various cars began
to reassure the passengers. After a
series of short runs, which were pune
tuated with much jerking and bump
ing because of motor trouble, Dawson
managed to get the train into the Mott
Avenue station. A number of the wom-
en- passengers were taken to a knights
of Pythias Hall and given treatment.
Two lines of hose were lowered into
the Mott Avenue station, which is more
than three hundred feet below the level
of the street, and the blaze under the
car was extinguished North and south
bound express traffic was tied up fol

Walker Says Miller Only

Holds That No Explanation

proraI for the Transit Pla,
From a StaN CorrespoMdenl


ALBANY, Feb. Ex-senator James j.
Walker, minority leader, made the fol-
lowing comment tonight on Governor
Miller's traction program for New
York City:
"The advance statement given to the
press by Governor Miller yesterday re-
garding his traction proposal, together
with a draft of the legislation to be in
troduced tomorrow carrying out the
purposes of his message to the Legis-
lature dated January %, 1921, only en-
hances the fear which the thinking
people of the City of New York ex-
perienced when they read of his trac-
tion program.
"The universal and spontaneous dis
approval which the people OF the City
of New York first expressed will not
be lessened by his last word upon the
subject.
"No amount OF reasoning that even
he is capable of will, in my opinion,
ever convince the people of the various
municipalities of the state that the
valuable franchises and concessions
which were given to the public utility
corporations, including real estate, the
right to operate plants and serve the
public, the use of city streets and the
laying thereon of mains and tracks
and the stringing of wires with the
distinct understanding that they would
serve the public with certain com
modities at stipulated and agreed
charges ever can be abrogated in JUS
tice to the people. His proposal would

of inquiry, introduced in the House of
Representatives on February 9.
"Did the completion of the subway
system and the putting into effect of Il
scent fare in accordance with the then
pending contracts with the city of
New York, and the Malbone Street dis
aster, in which ninety persons were
killed and $50 more injured, coming so
close one upon the other, furnish the
incentive for the receivership?
"Was the receiver appointed to break
down and avoid the terms of the 5-cent

"Was the receiver appointed to avoid
the consequences of the Malbone Street
disaster?
"The people are entitled to satisfac-
tory answers to these questions.
at is my purpose to do everything in
my power toward reporting out my
resolutions in Congress to the end that
light may be thrown upon the question
of the loan of the government and the
facts and circumstances surrounding
the B. r, T. receivership."
special meeting of the New York
State Chamber of Commerce will be
held tomorrow to consider report of
special committee appointed to study
the traction situation. In view of the
action of the Merchants Association
in approving Governor Mller's plans, it
was said that the committee probably
will urge support of the Governor.
The special committee consists of

Contract Changes Not Mentioned
Opponents of the Governors traction
plans pointed out yesterday that the
present rapid transit act makes no pro-
vision requiring the Board of Esti-
mates consent for modification of con-
tracts. Section 38 of the act provides
that the Public Service Commission, on
behalf of the city, may agree with the
traction lines on certain changes in the
contracts cor of plans and specifca-
tions upon which said road or roads is
or are to be constructed" but no
changes are to be made without the
consent authorized in Section 5. The
latter section provides only for the
consent of the Board of Estimate in
the fixing of routes, but makes no pro-
vision concerning contracts.

And Union End Fight

About $50 manufacturers, employing
9c3 men, settled yesterday with the
international Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union, according to Julius Hoch-
man, chairman of the pn on's strike
settlement committee, but the en-
ployers complained that the actual re-
turn to work was slow.
Representative of clothing firms
crowded the union headquarters in
Cooper Square Hotel. and were told to
wait two or three hours until the CON-
mittee could catch up with others who
arrived earlier. Louis Rubin, execu.
tive director of the Association Of
Dress Manufacturers, said the workers
were taking their time about returning
to work, after the settlements were ef.
fected.
Five thousand of the $4,000 union
workers identified with the Associs-
tion of Dress Manufacturers were still
on strike last night, but jobbers be.
longing to the Wholesale Dress Manu-.

work was being resumed in thew

association again were in operation.
