New Cardinals Receive
Red Biretta From Pope
Public Consistory Will Be Held
To-day; Dougherty Delivers
Address of Thanks

ROME, March 9.-Pope Benedict to-
day imposed upon the Cardinals created
at the secret consistory on March 7
the red biretta as the first tangi bic
proof of the supreme dignity which has
been conferred upon them This will
be completed by the conferment of the
red hat in the public consistory to-
morrow.
His Eminence, Cardinal Dennis
Dougherty, as the dean of the newly
elected Cardinals, delivered an address
to the Pope, in which he thanked him
also in the name Of the other new
Cardinals for the great honor which
he had done them in giving them so
sacred and splendid a position. He
assured His Holiness of their deep and
humble gratitude, which they all hoped
to demonstrate by their enthusiastic
devotion and loyalty to the supreme
Pontiff and to the Holy Roman Church.
Archbishop Josef Schultz, another
newly appointed member of the Sacred
College. also spoke briefly.
The Pope. after comforting the birctta.
made brief speech exalting the merits
of each of the new cardinals. Referring
to Cardinal Doughcrty, he recalled his
devotion as bishop, both in the Philip
pines and America, and his admirable e
administrative powers.

Market Commissioner
Assails New Port Plan

Edward J. O'Malley. Commissioner of
Public Markets, in statement issued
yesterday criticised the proposed New
York and New Jersey port and harbor
development program advocated by
Governor Miller. He disapproved of
the plan to unload foodstuffs from a
proposed terminal of the New Jersey
railroads coming into New York in the
Hackensack meadows, back of Jersey
City, to be carried by an electric un-
foreground railroad to New York.
The Commissioner said foodstuffs
are now brought into the New York
markets on car floats without being re-
moved from the cars in which they are
shipped. The proposal for a large
terminal in New Jersey would necessi-
tate a second handling of the food
stuffs, which would be detrimental to
perishablc goods and mean an added
cost for handling. which would have to
be borne by the New York consumers,
according to Mr.. O'Malley.
Because of trade conditions," Com
missioner O'Malley said, sit is abso-
lutely essential that with respect to
foodstuTs there must be a primary or
central market in New York City. The
additional charge for hauling from
Hackcnsack meadows would be a very
serious matter"
Commissioner O'Mailey forwarded
his protest against the proposed plan
to Mayor Hylan.

Eight-Cent Talk Is Deridod

George A. Glynn, chairman Of the
Republican State Committee, on his
return yesterday from Albany said that
all the important measures favored by
Governor Miller will be passed speed
lily, although the cons liberation of the
amendments TO the proposed traction
reorganization would postpone early
action on that measure.
"The party is solidly back of Gov

and Speaker Machold get ready to ad-
vance the important measures the votes
Will be ready to pass tnem," said Mr..
Glynn.
Backers of the Governors traction
bill said the Governor never has been
in favor OF an increased fare.
''The Hearst papers from the be-
ginning have been shouting about an
Scent fare" said one of the Cover
nors counselors last night. "Governor
Miller has not said anything about an
Scent fare. All of that kind of talk
IS from City Hall and the people who
are running City, Hall. The commits
sion to be chosen by the Governor will
come to consider the taking over Of
the properties, and they also will dis
regard franchise values where there is
no value to a franchise. Within thirty
days the utility corporations will be
doing the shouting because they are
not getting anything for their dead
horse assets, and the people as a whole

Samuel s. Koenfg, president Of the
New York County committee, on his
return from Albany yesterday, said
that he had conferred with Governor
Miller, and that there had been an
Interchange of views on the traction
and other measures.

New York County organization would

Witnesses Not Sworn i'm
City Contracts Hearing
Interpretation Regarding Immu-
nifty MayBring Estimate Boards
Inquiry to an End

The Board of Estimate yesterday re-
sumed its investigation into city con-
tracts, with several Queens contractors,
who were not sworn, as witnesses. The
reason given for not swearing the wit
nesses was that swearing witness had
been interpreted as guarantee of i'm
munity in grand jury proceedings, ac-
cording to William B. Carswell, AS
sistant Corporation Counsel, who is
conducting the examination.
No date was set for the next hearing.
The unexpected development affecting
the status of witnesses and their right
of immunity when sworn may bring the
Investigation to a close, it was said. 1t
has been going on for nearly four
months, and many city contractors have
been sworn and testified at the hear
ings. The investigation resulted from
disclosures made at the Lockwood COM
mittee investigation Of alleged collu-
sion and fraud in city contracts

Of Bonds Urge
Also Request That Half the
New York Railways Roads
Be Split From Old Sys-
tenn, Says Hedges Report
Chaos in Transit Feared
Receiver Warns That Disin-
tegration Is Near Unless
Some Relief Is Granted

A report issued to the ATTORNEYS
representing the various interests in
volved in the streetcar transit situa-
tion yesterday by Job E. Hedges, re-
ceiver for the New York Railways
Company. discloses the fact that the
refunding bondholders are pressing
for sale Of the property Of the com
pany. 1t also shows that the bond
holders have requested the receiver to
Sisatfirm four OF the remaining leased
lines.
The report includes q petition for
instructions which will be submitted
to Federal Judge Julius NJ. Mayer on
March IA, based on the request of the
bondholders. Should the court author
ize the receiver to disaffirm the leases
it will mean that one-half Of the re-
naming roads operated by the New
York Railways Company will be dis
membered from the system.
The roads thus affected are the
Broadway and Seventh Avenue, the
Sixth Avenue, Christopher and Tenth
Street and the Bleecker Street and Full
ton Ferry. In the petition the receiver
declares that the first named road
CONSTITUTES the backbone of the New
York Railways system"
Mileage Much Reduced
The report submitted with the peti-
ton gives a comprehensive review of
the present situation of the company
and shows that when the receiver was
appointed, March 20, 1919, the company
operated 151 miles of track, while at
the present time it is operating but
seventythree miles. Other comparisons
show that the total free transfer
points have been reduced from 2S7 to
ls, and that 70 two-cent transfer points
have been established.
In addition to this, the Eighth Ave
nue., the Ninth Avenue and the New
York & Harlem Railroad Company's
leases have been surrendered and the
properties returned to their owners
The financial summary shows that from
August to December 81, 1920, there
was a deficit of 1888 3,24074, after
charging interest in default on under
lying bonds and on New York Railways
first real estate and refunding bonds.
The conclusion submitted by Receiver
hedges with the report states:
THE New York Railways system has
already disintegrated to so large an
extent that this has resulted in the
public paying in many cases seven cents
or ten cents or more for rides which
had previously cost five cents. Unless
some relief is granted it is. in the
opinion of the receiver, unavoidable
that there will be further disintegra-
ton of the system now operated by
him.
"In facing the problem OF the future
or the street surface railways in Man
haitian, the mber of people who use
these lines should be considered. For
the fiscal year ending June, 1919, there
were total of 3l0,642 ,48O passengers
on the lines of the New York RAILWAYS
system alone. OF these 2O4 3S1 ,O02 rode
on up and down town lines. About
one-third Of the total rides we're taken
IN rush hours. 1t is inconceivable that
the public would desire to have these
passengers use the already crowded
subway"

Must Cut Pay or Raise
Rail- Rates, Says Willard
B. & q. President Outlines
Three Things to Assure Con-
tinued Private Operation

BALTIMORE, March 9.-In an address
here tonight Daniel Willard, president
of the Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad, said
that readjustment of railroad labor con
ditions and wages arc necessary ulti-
mately in order that the railroads can
be operated under the present rates.
Three things are considered by Mr..
Willard as necessary for successful pri-
vate operation of the American rail
roads, which in his mind means con-
tinued private ownership. SO long as
private interests operate the roads sue
cessfully, he said, just so long will the
American people desire the roads to
lemain in private hands.
"These three things" Mr.. Willard
said, "arc machinery for unified con-
tsDl of the railroads in times Of emer-
gency, without being hampered by the
provision of the Sherman antitrust
act, the sterilization Of railroad cred
its by fixing the rates which will pro-
vide a fair income and the establish
ment of machinery for the amicable
adjustment of railroad labor disputes" "
