CRAIG BLOCKS USE
OF TRANSIT FUNDS
While Hylan Assails Miller
Commission One Way, Comp
troller Cuts Off Cash.
DELANEY WILL PROTEST
Retiring Official Is Under
State Control, SO the City
Cannot .Order' Him.

Two methods OF attacking the Tran
sit Commission law have been decided
upon. One will be directed by Mayor
Hylan, the other by Comptroller Craig
Just as soon as George McAneny
and the two other members OF the new
commission have been sworn in Cor
poration Counsel O'Brien will apply to
the Supreme Court for an order to
show cause why an injunction should
not be issued preventing the Miller
Commission from taking over the
traction management from John H.
Delaney.
Comptroller Craig will not honor any
vouchers of the new commission call
ing for the payment of money. This
will make it necessary for the COM
mission to sue for mandamus 10
compel payment under the law wnicn
gives the commission the right to call
upon the city for such funds as may
be needed in its work.
The Comptroller has sSoo.eco author-
lied by tho Board Of Estimate TO pay
the salaries OF the 500 or more en-
pIoyees. but he takes the position. y
ia stated, that not cent viii De paio

Some smiles followed the attempt OF
CORPORATION Counsel O'Brien to direct
Commissioner Delaney not to give up
his office and the records Of the Transit
Construction Commission to the new
commission Mr.. Delaney ls state
officer. appointed by the Governor and
not amenable to direction by the Mayor
or his Corporation Counsel Mr. De-
laney was out OF the city Yesterday
but Il was evident he was wise enough
not to take too seriously the O'Brien
order" Although. naturally he is In
sympathy with the Mayors attitude. u
is not expected he will go so FAR as
to forcibly oppose the new commission
in taking over the office.
Daniel l.. Ryan, Delaney's deputy.
said Mr.. Delaney would be content
with making a formal protest and add
ing a formal demand that the right
Of the new men to their office be
settled in the courts.
Mr.. McAneny would not discuss the
prospect Of trouble In taking over the
office or of subsequent legal proceed
Ings. Although IL had been understood
the new commission would be sworn
in at Albany tomorrow. Mr.. McAneny
declined to say when the ceremony
would take place.
Public Service Commissioner Barrett
formally bade goodby to the employees
OF that body yesterday noon.

DRYLAW AMENDMENT
WILL PROHIBIT THE USE
OF BEER AS MEDICINE
Representative Volstead Agrees to Submit Drastic
Addition to Act to Make Certain That Beer Bot
ties Have No Place in Drug Stores

state OF excitement ever, since former
Attorney General Palmer proclaimed
that there is nothing in the Volstead
law TO prevent the unlimited prescrip-
ton of beer for medicinal purposes.
Some favored taking no action until
the new Commissioner of Internal
Revenue took office and then appeal
ing to him for a notification Of the
ruling. but II was finally determined
that to make certain that beer bottles
would not fill the shelves of drug
stores additional legislation should be
passed.
The exact wording of the beer amend
ment has not yet been decided upon
by Mr.. Volstead, but it will be framed
on the theory that beer is no medi-
cine and that there is no need to allow
its prescription as such.
Little doubt exists that such an
amendment can be passed with the
Anti-Saloon League strongly backing
it. The prohibition majority in the
present Congress is greater than ever
before. The House Judiciary is over
whelmingly dry and the amendment
probably could be reported with little
difficulty.

CopW'ioht, 1921, By THE NEW YonK HERALD.
LYMPNE, England April 23.-Most of
the two and half hours Of the meet
ing of the French and British Pre-
miers this afternoon was devoted to
statement by M. BRAND to Mr.
Lloyd George regarding the plans for
the proposed military operations
against Germany after May /. The
semi official comment on this was
that "the Allies are in agreement on
the execution of the Paris proposals"
NJ. BRAND and Mr.. Lloyd George
have never been in closer accord than
they are now. The British Prime Min
lister appreciates Frances position and,
as one spokesman for the conference
said tonight, there Is every evidence
that both Premiers are acting on COM
mon ground"
This makes il evident that the Ger
man proposals will be measured in the
light Of the Paris figures for the total
amount of the reparations demanded
(226, 900, 900, 900 marks gold), and not
in the light of the Brussels or any
other proposals which preceded the
Paris accord.

ruling a legislative knockout blow.
Representative volstead tMinn.), au-
thor of tho Voistead act and chairman
of the House Judiciary Committee,
which considers all prohibition legisla-

his noted law early next week. 1t will
prohibit the manufacture, sale and

of beer for medicinal purposes and,
as now drawn, would be one of the
most drastic sections Of the statute, it
is said.
The decision to submit an amend

Preserving Of
 Child s Identity
 Is Important

'In institutions under public con trol, children over four are sent to one place and their younger brothers and sisters 3,a to an9ther; says says, rta tna sion in the latest section of it's official report. This section, Part Three of Volume Two, is a survey of 1nst1tu- tions in Connecticut, caring for de- pendent and delinquent children and for metal ad physical defectives.
 Eve within large institutions, continues the report, 'younger chil- dren of four or five are separated from their older brothers and sisters. A case in point was that of an eight year-old boy who had been the care taker of his four-year-old brother , since his mothers death. It was long time before he could be made to understand that they would have to liv ein separate buildings and that he could no longer watch over his little brother"
 One out of every hundred children in Connecticut, according to the Com mission, are in institutions About two thousand more pass through the various institutions of the state year ly. In making it's study, the Com mission investigated 3S out of the 53 institutions, both public and private, Ioaring for children The children in these 3S homes number about 3.70O. In the homes for department children, one-third were found to have both parents living In only per cent. of the cases were both parents dead, dispe1ling the common idea that most of the Children are orphans "The institution children a class. there fore" says the report, involve the problem of families in which one or both parents are living" For over one-half of these cases the Commis- sion was unable to learn the causes for commitment. In only five of the SS institutions is there complete physical examination made of an children entering; in many there is no examination whatever.
 Commission. ''Under the conditions it is not surprising that we find feeble mided children in almost all of the institutions; that there are nine defin- ite cripp1eS who need special trafnins in a school for dehnquents; that a deaf and dumb boy is committed by the courts to an institution for de1in- quents. and from there transferred to another institution for feeb1e-ninded children A child entering any one of twenty-five institutions has as many chances of contracting conta- gious diseases as there are new chil- dren entering the institution
 The preservation of identity of chill dren entering the homes is consider ed to, be most important by the Com mission It was found that there were nearly as many varieties of rec ord keeping as there are institutions.

hopes are along other lines. She hopes that Rosie will see this paper, or that somebody will see it who knows where Rosie is. There need be no fear upon the part of the girl No punishment awaits her if she will only come back, or only let her mother know where she is and that she is alright. Her mother wants to know.
 Rosie was employed for two years as a nurse maid and was fond of children. She was a good girl. She left the house at noon on a Saturday, dressed she would be for a Satur- day afternoon down town, and she never returned. She was IT then, about feet inches tall, blue eyes, brown hair, and has a scar on her left shoulder caused by a burn. Her parents are Polish, but Rosie is a native of the United States and speaks good English. Look hard at the pie ture. Perhaps you can recognize the girl, and tell her that her home is open to her if she will return.

Rosie Gabris, daughter of MT. and Mrs. George Gabris, of 46 Hunting ton road, disappeared from her home on June 2S. 1919. From that date not a word has been heard, nor a clue found that will lead to her whereabouts. Neither can the >family give any reason as to why the girl should leave her home. There was no quarrel, no love affair, not a thing that Rosie's mother can think of that would cause her to leave and send no word to her mother.
 Like all good mothers, Mrs. Gabrls has not given up hope She realizes that the girl may be dead, but her

Poor physical or spiritual conditions in some institutions" says the report, ''the tendency for a few institutions to undertake more than they can handle, the absence of cooperation between different organizations, the lack of knowledge of standards and the eagerness to learn which some institutions manifest"these things point urgently to the need of develop mental, supervisory service.'
