Hylan Asked to Revoke
Old Dominion Leases
Hirshfield Charges Steamship
Company Is Re-Renting Piers
for High Prices

David Hirshfeld, Commissioner of
Accounts, in report to Mayor Hylan
last night recommended that the leases
held by the Old Dominion Steamship
Company for Piers Is and 90, North
River, be revoked, asserting that the
company had been letting the piers, in
violation of its agreement with the
city. He also recommended that the
Old Dominion Transportation Company
be provided docking facilities at Pier IS.
The Old Dominion Transportation
Company came into existence in 1920
to replace the coastwise service be-
tween Norfolk, Va, and this city, which
had been abandoned by the Old Domin
ion Steamship Company for the over
seas trade. According to Commissioner
Hirshfield, the latter company has not
found its last venture profitable and is
now seeking to resume its old line.
with consequent mbarrassment to the
Old Dominion Transportation Company.
which at present uses Pier IS, at
rental of 500 day, paid to the Old
Dominion Steamship Company.
The transportation company has
made application to Dock Commits
sioner Hubert for lease of Pier 26.
Commissioner Hirshfield declared that
the older company was obtaining rev.
enues from the two piers several times
exceeding what it pa&Sto the city.

Alarm Given for Girl
Missing From Mineola
Mary Dewey, IL, Starts for City
TO Meet Mother at Penn.
Station and Vanishes

MINEOLA, L. l., July 5.-Mary De-
wey, seventeen years old, daughter Of
Mrs. Frank G. Dewey, of Mineola, left
her home here yesterday, intending to
meet Mrs. Dewey at the Pennsylvania
Station in New York. She did not meet
her mother and has not since been
heard of.
Miss Dewey carried bundle which
she intended to deliver to her mother.
The latter is separated from her hus-
band, Frank C. Dewey, a salesman en-
ployed by the Oppenheim Company of
Buffalo, N. Y. A general alarm was
sent out last night by District Attorney
Charles r. Weeks. The young woman
had been living with Mrs. Arthur Mutt,
sister. Mrs. Dewey said that her
daughter had no love affair and that
her absence was not to be attributed
to romantic cause
Miss Dewey had $16 in currency when
she left home. Friends of the girl to-
night expressed belief that she had

Coal Dust Auto Power
Of Future, Says Babson
Predicts Also That Cars viii Be
Built of Cotton, Glue and
Formaldehydc Composition
Special d ispatch to Tho Tribune

CHICAGO, July 5.--Automobiles
made Of cotton and driven by power
generated from coal dust are pos
sibilities of the not remote future.
Such radical departures in the design
of automobiles may not come immedi-
ately, but until changes almost as
startling are made. the automobile
business will continue to suffer depres-
sion. This is the opinion of Roger W..
Babson, head of the statistical organi-
cation bearing his name.
"The principal factor in the decline
Of the automobile industry has been
the steady increase in the price Of
gasoline" said Mr.. Babson to-day.
"The car of the future will be run
by other fuel. Already the use of coal
dust has passed the experimental
stage. In my opinion, it will be used
extensively within short time. The
coal dust is blown into the cylinders
under pressure and exploded by a
spark. A slight ash is formed which
falls out through the bottom of the
cylinder--or rather through the top,
for the cylinders of the coal dust
engine are turned upside down.
Lighter cars must be manufactured
in order to cut down the cost of manu-
facturc and maintenance. Steel is too
heavy for use in automobile construc-
ton and aluminium is too expensive. A
composition of cotton, glue and for
maldehyde is being used to produce
material that may solve the problem"

CarusO's Voice
Not Impaired,
Doctors Assert
Stories Told by Arrivals
From Italy of Tenor's En-
feebled Condition Char
acterized Here as Absurd
Refuted by Late Cables
Never at Any Time During
His Ill4kss We're Vocal
Cords Affected, Is Claim

Caruso enfeebled and his golden
voice gone?
Never" say the doctors who attend
ed him during his long illness last
winter and spring.
absurd" said Edward Ziegler, as
sistant general manager Of the Metro
pclitan Opera Company, yesterday.
That is how the news Of the great
teror's slow and uncertain GONZALES
cence and of his despair Of ever sing
ing again, brought over by passengers
and officers of the steamship Presi-
derte Wilson, was received here.
Recent advices, by cable and letters,
refute these statements, it was said.
The tenor is mending we'll and his
vocal cords are, receiving much needed
rest.
Both DR.. Antonio Stella and Mr..
Ziegler pointed out that never at any
time during Mr.. Caruso's illness were
Ibis vocal cords affected and there is
no reason to believe, they said, that he
will not be able to sing as we'll and
even better than he did before he was
stricken.
Voice Not Impaired by Illness
~ venture to say that the statement
appearing in this mornings papers has
no foundation in fact" DR.. Stella COM
mented, because the two persons who
are purported to have brought the in
formation have neither examined Mr.
Caruso medically nor heard him sing.
The statement is based on surmise and
misinformation. The illness of Mr..
To- in a. cd
cords, the voice producing organs, and
his disease had run it's favorable course
to the complete recovery of Mr.. Caruso
when he left New York. Otherwise l,
with my ASSOCIATED, would never have
permitted him to leave on such long
trip.
''I have received personal information
that directly contradicts the news
brought over on the Presidente Wilson.
l have been informed that when Mr..
Caruso landed in Naples he looked in
every way vigorous and robust, an en-
tirely different man from what he was
when he boarded the steamer: Caruso
himself has written to me that he is
recovering, that he is feeling fine and
that he is taking things easy. There
is absolutely no foundation for the
statements which have been made con-
corning Mr.. Caruso."
In Fine Shape, Says Ziegler
Mr. Ziegler was even more outspoken
than DIR. Stella in commenting on the
reports that Caruso was not recovering
his health and his voice. If Caruso
had made such statements, Mr.. Zieg-
Ter said, they we're statements made in
the natural course of convalescence.
"Mr. Caruso cabled me at his arrival
in Naples that he was in excellent
condition." Mr.: ziegler said. "Only ten
minutes ago I received a cable from
Mr.. Gatti-Casazza, who also is in Italy,
and he did not mention Caruso. You
may be sure if there were anything
wrong tti-Casazza would have in
formed me.
ut is absurd to say that Caruso
didn't sing at the ships concert on the
way over. Of course, he didn't. He
didn't expect to. When he left New
York he had no intention of singing
for at least two and half months
1t is also absurd to say that his voice
is gone"

Borough Leaders
Oppose Convention
Of City Republicans
Election Plans Discussed
at First Joint Meeting
of Committees; Address
to Public Is Authorized

The various borough committees re-
Gently appointed by the Republican
county leaders to snaps up the city
campaign held their first joint meet
ing yesterday. Virtually all of the
members of the various committees
were present and organized into one
general city committee. While no def
rite chairman of the general commit
tee was named, Charles 4. Heydt, Re-
publican district leader on the upper
West Side and present secretary Of the
Board Of Elections, presided.
The meeting was announced as an
informal gathering for organization
and general discussion. 1t was said
that candidates, platform and some Of
the more pertinent campaign issues
were not discussed. The general COM
mittee, however, took preliminary steps
toward opening the door to confer
ences with the Independent organiza-
tons and groups which are interested
in the common ondeavor to defeat Tam
many Hall at the polls at the election
this fall.
The meeting authorized the appoint
ment of a committee to prepare "an
address to the public" which will be
issued soon. While the nature of this
statement was not divulged, it prob
ably will specifically state the stand
Of the Republican organization in the
coming campaign. Henry w. Taft is
chairman. Three members are to be
appointed from each borough.
The meeting also authorized the APP
pointment Of committee of twenty
five" to invite the cooperation Of all
anti-Tammany groups and to receive
suggestions.
The question of holding city con-
vention was discussed but was dropped
temporarily owing to opposition by a
considerable number of those present.
1t was said that unless these differ
enees could be overcome promptly no
city convention would be held.

cluded Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Koenig, Mr.. Heydt,
