500 IMMIGRANTS
HELD IN PIER SHED
APPEAL FOR HELP
Women and Children Kept on
Cunard Dock Since Friday
by Congestion.
FED BY MARKET MEN.
Officials Seek to Relieve Aliens
Who Sleep on Mats in
Chilly Quarters.

Five hundred immigrants including
women and children, held since Fri
day afternoon in the chilly pier Of the
Cunard Line at the foot OF West 14th
Street, were in such distress to-day
they dropped letters of appeal from
the windows to the market men be-
low, who raised a fund of 800 and
bought food fer them, sending it in
by ropes.
The immigrants arrived Friday on
the Saxonia and could not be ac-
comodated at Ellis Island because Of
the crowded condition there Nor
could they be kept on board the ship,
because it was scheduled to sail on
the following day and did so.
From the Cunard line Offices a
statement was obtained which did
not entirely bear out some OF the re-
ports of distress believed by the
market men. It was admitted the
lIlhulB grants were ODllBtu u Slt0p Oh
the asphalt floor, but it was said they
we're adequately provided with mats,
mattresses and coverings. 1t was
also stated hot coffee and good food
was served them regularly by the
immigration officials. The food sent
up on ropes by the market men was
chiefly fruit
The pier is enclosed and has steam
heat, but 80 little of it, the immi-
grants complained, overcOats were
necessary in weather like this.
Immigra ton inspectors were hard
at work to-day trying to clear up the
situation before night 80 another
restless night on the chilly floor
would not be necessary.
Many relatives of the immigrants
gathered about the pier and some
brought food deIicacies which were
hauled Tp by ropes.
The pier is partitioned, so the wom-
en- and children are kept separate
from the men. During the war mill
tary guards occupied the pier and
slept there.
The market mems food FUND, about
800, was collected by Max Rothberg

ALBANY, Jan. 25.-The Lockwood
Housing Committee was to-day de-
MED the full power asked for in its
Investigation Of the building and
housing situation in Greater New
York, by the Joint Committee OF
Finance and Ways and Means.
The power to go extensively into the
affairs of banks and insurance COM
panies requested by Samuel Inter
myer was abridged to permission to
go into the investments so far as they
AFFECT loans on mortgages on real
estate. Included in such investiga-
tions are the title and mortgage com
panies.
The committee was given power TO
investigate these investments to de-
.ermine whether bonuses were de-
manded and given for the loans, and
If there were any other irregularities
in the transactions. 1t cannot in
, auire into other investments by fin
anciaI institutions no matter
whether the institution has loaned or
not its full allotment on real estate
mortgages.
The clause giving the Lockwood
Committee access 10 the books and
data OF the Superintendent Of Banks
and of Insurance, to aid them in their
investigation was also stricken out,
Mr.. Untermyer will not be per
mitted to question the companies
with regard to salaries Of officers nor
20 into any other of their affairs out
side of their building and loan in
vestments.
The Lockwood Committee is EN-
powered to compel the attendance OF
witnesses and to grant immunity to
witnesses in it's discretion. 1t also
has the privilege of amending or re-
peaEng any or all of the rent laws
passed in the extraordinary session
Of last September and in that OF last
winter.
Senator Lockwood declared that
the investigation has been badly
crippled by the resolution as re-
ported,
The resolution" he said, "gIves us
less poWer than we had under the
old resolution, and were it not for
the clause continuing the old reso-
luton the housing investigation
would be at a standstil. We are
badly crippled, but we are going to
continue the fight. The only addi
tiOnal power given us is the i'm
nrunity clause"

With regard to the suggestion that
no is proposing that the State usurp
the powers Of the city, no said:
That is due to the confession OF
mind Of those who are in the habit OF
viewing this from one angle. The
cities never had power over public
utilities except that which was dele
gated by the state. Until 1907 when
.he Public Service Commissions Law
was enacted, there was no regulation
OF public utilities by the State except
the constitutional provision which
gave the municipalities the right to
consent TO the laying OF tracks, and
having that power they had the
power Of refusal and could refuse
consent, necessarily the power 10 i'm
pose conditions.
SAYS HE IS GETTING BACK TO
FIRST PRINCIPLES.
OF cea0e, prior to 1907 there was
the old Railroad Commission Law
which did not seek to regulate In
uhe same sense as the Public Service
Commission Law OF 1907. but as a
matter of fact the state never dele
gated to the cities complete power
over public utilities. My recommen-
dations return the question to that
which existed at the time the city
made it's initial payment Of S65. OOO-
900 toward the subways
1T would be difficult 20 evolve a
unified system II half OF II were
owned by pA to interests and the
other half by\ ne public. The city
has already adopted a plan of muni-
cipal ownership and private opera
hon. 1t already owns the, backbone
Of what would be the unified systenr -
Some Legislators say they will vote
for your plan, providing no higher
fare than five cents be allowed" the
Governor was told.
THAT reflects a state Of mind
bordering on insanity" replied
the Governor. ain my Judgment
Il is not a fare question. The
fare question is only incidental,
the real question is one Of public
service and the solution of the
traction problem transeends the
fare question. II tho people
would view the problem in this
light they would find they would
soon be paying less than five
cents"
In the view OF many members the
Governors message is really the OPEN
ing Of the eight-cent fare fight. with
the jerks fare grab bills OF last year.
reintroduoed to-day or tomorrow, both
sides will rally to the fray
CITY MEMBERS MAY JOIN
HANDS m FIGHT.
The Democrats viii oppose not only
the jerks bills TO increase fares. but
also the Governors proposal to take
control Of local traction matters ost
Of the hands OF the city authorities.
