CITY CANNOT OBEY
COURT ON PENSIONS
No Room in Budget for
4,500,00O to Meet De-
mands Of Funds.

The city finds itself in an emhar-
OF the Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court upholding Justice Mullan in his
opinion that the Board OF Estimate must
put into the 1922 budget s4.500,0o0 to
meet the requirements of the various
pension funds for the year. L. II. La
Guardia, President of the Board of AL
dermen, who blames Comptroller Craig
for the dilemma, announced yesterday
that the city would carry the case to the
Court of Appeals at once. The officials
fear, however. that the decision may be
upheld.
The pension appropriation cannot be
added to the budget as it now reaches
the constitutional limitation Of per
cent. on the assessed value of real
estate Before tie Board of Aldermen
passed the budget they had to cut out
S27s,1O4 of the appropriations for the
counties of The Bronx and Richmond to
meet the limitation.
The intention had been to have these
funds, which are mandatory, raised after
January ] from special revenue bonds.
But the city may not issue more than
s2,000.000 in special revenue BONDS DUR
ing any one year. Therefore. as 1t
would seem to be impossible TO cut the
budget as it stands to make room for
the addition OF the s4.500,0o0 pension
funds. the prospect is for an appeal to
the Legislature for a special act to re-
lieve the situation. Mr.. La Guardia
declares the money should be provided
BY economies and transfers.
THE condition of affairs the city finds
itself in Is due entirely to the advice
of Comptroller Craig given to the Board
of Estimate after the tentative budget
of 1922 had been made up" said Pres
ident La Guardia. Now that the dam
age has been done there is only one
course left, and that Is to delay fnad
adjudication until 1929 when the city
should make good the amount by forcing
department heads TO cut their appropria-
TONS
Experience this year, however, leaves
little to hope for there.
Comptroller Craig held that the PEN
sions monies could be left out of this
years budget as the normal accruals
during the year would mack up the
necessary amount.

Libasci May Not Be Tried
for Killing of Garbe in
Ozone Park.
DEFENDANT BREAKS DOWN
Young Woman to Get Outfit
of Clothes From Mother
for Christmas.

Miss Gussie Human Of 926 Hatch
avenue, Ozone Park. Queens. was ac-
quilted yesterday afternoon by jury
in the Queens County Court, Long
Island City, of a charge Of completely
in the murder OF Harry Garbe, her
former sweetheart, on October 81.
The verdict was ordered by Judge
Burt ]. Humphrey, who ruled that the
State had introduced no evidence con-
Meeting Miss Human with the crime,
and that the State had not proved that
Garbe was killed by Joseph Libasci of
70 Troutman avenue, Brooklyn, also
under indictment.
Miss Humanns defence was that
she spent the evening Of the murder
with Libasci. The States case col
lapsed when Judge Humphrey refused
to admit as evidence statement said
| to have been made and signed by
Libasci. The State contended that
this differed from one made by Miss
Human.
Attorneys for the girl moved that the
Indictment be dismissed on the ground
that the State had not connected either
Miss Human or Libasci with the shoot
ing. District Attorney Wallace rested
his case on this motion After argu-
ment Judge Humphrey called in the jury
and ordered a verdict OF not guilty.
The statement said to have been made
by Garbe Just before he died was ad-
mitted by Judge Humphrey, with the
exception OF portions dealing with events
that transpired several days before the
murder. The statement was opposed by
attorneys for Miss Human, and the
District Attorney told the court on Tues
day that his case would collapse IL the
statement were not admitted.
Witnesses wero then examined after
the statement hal been passed, detec-
t.ves and others testifying before the
State offered the statement Of Ltbasci
just before noon. When the court re-
Jected the affidavit as evidence District
Attorney Wallace said that the States
case had collapsed, although he ex-
pressed the belief that he had shown
sufficient cause for the case to go to the
jury.
No date has been set for the trial OF
Libasci, and II is likely that he will not
be tried. District Attorney Wallace said
that the rulings In the case of Miss
Human would have some bearing on
this case.
After she had been acquitted Miss
Human broke down, but recovered after
few moments and went home with her
mother, who said that she would cele-
orate the verdict by buying for her
daughter an entirely new outfit OF cloth
ing for Christmas

DR.. LORENZ CHEERS
1873 WHO SEEK HELP
After Examining 60 Cases in
Clinic He Considers 73
Others in Overflow.

When DR.. Adolf Lorenz finished ex-
his clinic yesterday. at the Health De-
partment Building, 505 Pearl street. he
saw that, despite the announcement that
only those with cards would be exam
ined, scores of cripples had gathered
outside and in the corridors of the
building in the hope that somehow they
could get to see him.
Very WE'LL" said DR.. LorenZ, when
he had finished with the sixty, will
examine ell I can."
The number examined totaled 1888. The
clinic was conducted much more sys-
tematically than any Of the others which
DR.. Lorenz has conducted here. There
was very little confusion, and every
thing was arranged to insure the quick
est possible results with the least pos
sfble fatigue for DR.. Lorenz Six
stretchers were lined up close to each
other, each bearing patient. AS soon
as the surgeon completed his examina-
ton of one patient the stretcher would
be removed and its place filled by the
next one
After the examinations DR.. Lorenz
said he was delighted with the arrange
ments, and that he believed the clinics
would prove much more satisfactory as
now conducted
Public confidence in DR.. Lorens's skill
apparently has not weakened following
his comparative inactivity of the last
ten days. The people came to him even
though they knew he could not perform
operations until license is granted by
the State Board of Regents. They
simply wanted to get his opinion on
their ailments. The surgeons comments
on each case. his diagnosis and his ad-
vice were taken down by a stenog-
rapher. A transcript will be sent to
each patient that the proper course of
treatment may be followed.
One Of the cases which attracted
attention was that OF Miss Margaret
Aello. "a, Of 165 Chrystie street who
was crippled by infantile paralysis
when she was 8 months Old and has
been forced to walk on her knees, drag
ging the lower part of her legs. In an
attempt to support herself she has
learned to run sewing machine with
her knees. DR.. Lorenz told her she
probably could be cured eventually II
she and the doctor who treated her con-
tinued their efforts, and that an opera
ton might help her.
Or. Lorenz will conduct clinic TO-
morrow morning at the Department OF
Health Building in Brooklyn, Flatbush
avenue extension and Willoughby street.
Next week clinics will be held on Mon.
day and Friday at the Department Of
Health Building In Pearl street, and on
Wednesday in Brooklyn. DR.. Lorenz
will conduct a clinic at the. Jersey City
Hospital at 8: 80 o'clock this morning
DR.. Lorenz indicated yesterday that
he may remain in this city indefinitely
and abandon the plan of visiting sew
eral Western States.

PUBLIC DEMAND GROWS

Architects are at work on plans for
new building in this city to house
Federal courts, Offices and agencies iii
Manhattan, Attorney General Daugh-
erty said yesterday. The plan is
being carefully considered in Wash
ment for those who favor such a step.
Mr.. Daugherty stopped off in New
York yesterday on his way back to
Washington from a study of New
Haven Railroad affairs. He appeared
much in favor of the new arrange
ment, but warned that the plan has
not taken such definite shape that
any particular site is being considered.
The disposition of the old Post Office
Building south OF City Hall Park was
a matter on which he would say moth
ing. This building houses the Federal
courts.
The new building, he said, would
have to be constructed with view
not to what New York is. as regards
population. but what It will be. The
rapid growth OF New York IS a mat
scr which the architects are under
Instructions to consider In their plans.
There is a strong feeling, feeling
which Is growing rapidly. that the
government courts. offices and bureaus
cannot function with anything like real
efficiency when the Offices Of the var
Gus Federal departments and bureaus
are scattered haphazard from the Bat
terry to Forty-second street, Mr.. Daugh-
erty said.
I'VE have had a great many letters
on this subject from everyday Ameri-
cans" the Attorney General said.
The difficulties attendant upon the
transaction of business with any one
OF the many government agencies has
been pointed out by many individuals
who take an interest in national af-
fairs and in the city as well.
Our people are always ready to help
US get under way anything beneficial
and constructive" he said. '"rhey are
patriotic. The most OF them are in
tensely so. They have faith in their
country, in its growth and in the ulti-
mate destiny OF its business. The
grudges and grouches are largely in
the minority and / think they do not
have a very great influence"
The organizations which would be
brought together under the new plan
would include the judiciary and inves-
tgative branches of the Department of
Justice. the bankruptcy courts, the
Federal prohibition enforcement agency,
The various branches of the Treasury,
Public Health service and military de-
partments. and few other less known
parts OF the government machinery.
Those in Brooklyn possibly may he in
cluded The disposition of the Custom
House was not made plain by Mr..
Daugherty.
Thus citizen who had business with
the Government would, in the first place
know where TO go, and once there,
would not be directed to two or three
other widely separated places TO con-
ciude it, Mr.. Daugherty pointed out.
The cost OF such building, he said,
should be a minor consideration in view
of the increase in efficiency and the
solution OF other problems. and he ex-
pressed confidence that the cost would

FRIENDS To PLACE
NORMAL SCHOOL IN
AFRICA, IS DECISION

recommendations from Friends mis-
sionaries to Africa that a normal train
ing school be established by the
Friends Board of Foreign Missions,
We're favored by the board in annual
session in South Eighth Street Friends
church Tuesday night. Immediate
steps are to be taken to place this
school. The board voted that the
school be for African men. and be
under the care of Emory Rees.
One of the great factors toward en-
couraging the board to take this action
was the report by B. Willis Beede, who
has just returned from a year spent
in surveying the conditions surround
ing the FIVE African mission stations
maintained by the Friends. Speaking
of the need of a normal school, Mr..
Beede said:
"The need for a thoroughly trained
native leadership is obvious. This can
not be accomplished with the present
system with any degree of efficiency,
to say nothing of the injustice of not
giving every one an equal opportunity
for advancement. The normal training
school with a graded and standardized
system in the outschools will solve our
problems. to the great gain Of the
mission in its evangelistic program.
To Train Natives.
"The paramount and ultimate pur-
pose of the normal training school
should be the evengeliZat!on of he
Kavirondo and other tribes. This to
be done by sending out, under proper
supervision. thoroughly trained native
leaders to preach and teach and live in
the reserves, and to hold an ever ed.
vancing st da-d of christianity
education, and civilization, before their
people"
Mr.. Beede recommended that the
normal school course should cover not
less than two. and better still three
years of resident study. and possibly
after a few years it will he necessary

to raise the standard to four years
course.
Need Specialists.
Need Of highly specialized mission
aries for the African field, was
stressed by B. Willis Beede, in his re-
port on Africa, given at the meeting
of the Foreign Mossion board in South
Eighth Street Friends church, Tues.
day afternoon.
The future needs workers special
lied and competent to train natives
to do the work of evangelization," said
Mr.. Beede. "The need is also manifest
for missionaries with Administrative
ability.
Some Of the advance steps we
should take within the next 10 years
are these:
Says Schools Needed.
We must make provision for train
ing native evangelists and teachers by
starting at once an advanced boarding
school for them. A girls boarding
school should also be established at
once so that the girls may he better
prepared to become helpful wives and
mothers. The Christian home is
the foundation of the christian COM
munlty.
Much more time should be given to
itinerating by the missionary, not in
haphaZard way but regularly. follow
ed up by sending out native workers
between the missionary's visits.
These natives should be required
TO keep a daily record of such work
and report to the monthly meeting.
Good lantern slides of Bible stories
would help greatly in this work.
Will Support Church.
'In 10 years all teachers and evan.
gelsts should be supported by the
native church. and in the older dis
tricts, they should be able to build all
their own brick charels and school
houses. and be SO organized as to cover
will all the territory Of the tribe where
they work
Speaking of education, Mr., Becde
said:

have to have As more schools. We

item. There are now 20 teachers, but
we need As more. We are 40 per cent
