thousands who will use the local transit
systems in reaching the beaches in and
near New York.
Baggage was piled high yesterday in
the baggage rooms of the Pennsylvania
Station and Grand Central Terminal.
Added to a mountain of outgoing lug
gage that arrived with every truck was
an incoming traffic that tended to make
conditions chaotic in the baggage rooms.
Persons who had been away all sum
mer were shipping their trunks ahead
OF them to avoid the Labor Day rush,
and they were stacked in piles as high
as the ceiling. Scores of employees We're
asserting the outgoing baggage. while
an extra staff of clerks were busy
checking tickets and trunk bags. The
baggage windows at both terminals
were crowded throughout the afternoon.
But the real rush is not expected until
noon to-day. Then the unyriads of week

the offices and factories that do not
close all day Saturday. and they wilt

INDICTMENT NAMES

'sTRANGLE INDUSTRY
NEW TRUE BILLS SOON

That the Federal authorities have
been sitting the records of the Lock
wood legislative committee in con-
nectjon with Samuef Untermyer's in
vestigation into conditions underlying
the increased cost of building materials
in this city became known yesterday.
William Hayward. United States At
torney, announced that two sealed in
dictments have been returned by an
Extraordinary Grand Jury against
thirty-two concerns dealing in build
ing materials and a similar number Of
individuals. The indictments charge
monopolizing in restraint of trade and
in violation of the Sherman antitrust
law, it was learned.
The names of the defendants will
not be made public until next week,
probably Tuesday, Mr.. Hayward said.
The indictments are only two Of a
great many others which will follow
in rapid succession, Mr.. Hayward de-
clared. and it was intimated that the
Grand Jury will delve into the mass OF
evidence unearthed by Mr.. Untermyer
from his investigation into the various
lines of business.
In discussing the matter yesterday Mr..
Hayward stated that it is not the in
tention of his office TO duplicate or
overlap the work of the State prose-
cutors, wherein associations or individ-
uals have been indicted and punished
There will be no prosecution against
them. Mr.. Hayward said. unless IL ap-
pears that they are pursuing the same
tactics and are violating the Sherman
law.
All of the records Of the Lockwood
committee, including all testimony and
exhibits, have been placed at the dis
posal OF Mr.. Hayward's office. There
is the fullest cooperation between the
State and Federal authorities and the
Lockwood committee In speaking of
the indictments Mr.. Hayward said:
"Our survey of the situation thus far
discloses that building in this commu-
nifty is at practical standstill, that
prices of materials and labor have only
slightly declined and that a group Of
associations and combinations in the
various building trades have strangle
hold upon the building industry. which
is in a large measure responsible Tor
the prevailing high prices. The man on
the street has TO pay from one-third to
one-half Of his income for rent. While
the housing laws have relieved the pub
lie to some extent. there is little sign
OF new apartments and further IN
creases in rent are being sought.
1T is undoubtedly true that many
associations of manufacturers in the
building trades in their practices have
violated the Federal law.
"The public may be assured that the
full power of this office will be placed
behind these building investigations.
and that offenders will be prosecuted
to the limit of the law"
A number of special attorneys have
been retained by the Government to
assist in the prosecution of the defend
ants named in the indictments. They
are David T.. Podcl. Leland 3. Duer
and Benjamin ). Kirsh.

HYLAN'S COMMITTEE
AGAINST RENT RULE
Will Appeal Decision Granting
Landlord 10 Per Cent.
Return.

The Mayors Committee on Rent Prof
iteering will map out next Tuesday a
definite line of action regarding the re-
cent decision Of the Appellate Term IN
Brooklyn that the landlord is entitled
to 10 per cent. return on the value OF
his property, it was announced yester-
day by Junius p. Wilson, counsel to the
committee. A meeting which was to
have been held yesterday afternoon was
postponed because Of the inability of the
chairman, Otto b. Shuloff, to be present.
1t was made known that the commit
tee is determined to appeal from the
Brooklyn decision. which is held to be
directly contrary to rulings made in sim
iliar cases in Manhattan. Mr.. Wilson de-
clined to discuss the exact action which
the committee will take until he has
studied the situation further.
Commenting on the Brooklyn decision.
Stewart Browne, president of the United
Real Estate Owners Association. said:
1T will stabilize rental and real es-
tate values and will enable tens of thou
sands of housing owners to get reason
able rental, which they do not now get.
This association has fought for two
years to get this very decision written
into the statutes by bills it has had
drafted and introduced. 1t has en-
deavored to get the Municipal Court jus
tices and the Mayors Rent Committee
to accept it as basis of reasonable
rent. but 1t has failed because those
chasing tenants votes opposed 1t. and
rent gouging owners also opposed 1t. as
they opposed the rent laws in toto.
they either would be killed in
the Legislature. i'm the Court of Appeals
or i'm the United States Supreme Court.
'-rhe Mayors Rent Committee says this
decision will produce litigation. 1t will,
and it deserves to produce litigation. 1t
is about time that owners OF housing
in New York city had reason
able rent on their property and that ten
ants were prevented from being rent
gouged by shyster landlords under the
present court discretion

RIGHT TO ACT QUESTIONED

Charles T. Davis, Brooklyn manu-
featuring chemist, now in Matteawan
State Hospital for the Insane, as a
criminal maniac, has made a settle
ment of $4,000 with Mrs. Nellie Brid-
gets. widow of acting Detective Ser
geant Joseph T. Bridgetts of 1917 Da-
hill road, Brooklyn, whom Davis killed
February II last.
Details of the unusual agreement.
which has been accepted by Mrs. Brid-
gets, and which means that her $780,
900 damage suit against Davis's estate
will be dropped. were lacking last
night. There seemed to be great doubt
as to whether Davis properly could
authorize the payment of sums from
his estate, as it was reported that no
committee of his person or property
has been appointed
DR.. Philip A. Brennan, an attorney
who appeared for Mrs. Bridgetts in the
damage action, stated last night. how
ever that this particular point was not
one he was troubled about.
'rWhy don't you ask Mr.. Daviss at
torneys?" he said. "All i know is that
! have received for Mrs. Bridgetts al
check for $4,000 signed by Mr.. Daviss
attorneys and by his corporation"
Settlement of the claims of Mrs.
Bridgetts against Mr. Davis was re-
corded yesterday in the signing of an
order by Surrogate wingate in Brooklyn
approving It,
Mr.. Daviss attorneys are Burroughs,
Brown & Kerfoot Of 200 Fifth avenue.
None Of them could he reached last
night.
Detective Bridgetts entered Daviss
office at 221 Duffield street. Brooklyn.
and was questioning him concerning an
automobile which Davis had reported to
an insurance company as having been
stolen. Davis suddenly became enraged
and drawing a revolver shot the detec-
tive. killing him.
Although adjudged criminally insane,
It appeared at the hearings on his sanity
that Davis had been conducting his bus-
ness without loss. and for this reason 1t
was suggested last night he may still
exercise a certain control of his business
affairs In that event the case would
be still more unusual
Detective Bridgetts left wife and
four children the oldest years old.

For his attacks on Edward l.. Doheny.

be prosecuted for criminal libel. Judge
Charles c. Mott in General Sessions
yesterday overruled q demurrer to the

in his syndicated letter Of the state
ment that Doheny had made false state
ments about the oil situation.
At the same time Judge Mott dis
missed the indictment charging Moore
with criminally libelling the Mexican
Petroleum Corporation as an organiza-
tion. The court holds that the language
employed by Moore does not constitute
a criminal libel against the corporation.
but that 1t is for a jury to say whether
or not he criminally libelled Doheny
