LA GUARDIA OFFERS
BARGAIN ON TRANSIT
Will Pay Commissions Elk
penses if Body Will Wait
Decision on Validity.

Upon the eve of hearings of three court
petitions Of the Transit Commission to
compel the city to supply money for its
expenses. F. H. La Guardia, President
of the Board of Aldermen. wrote yester-
day to George McAneny, chairman Of
the commission, proposing a bargain
whereby the commission would stipulate
with the Board of Estimate that the
commission would make no attempt to
modify city subway contracts or in
crease fares until the courts have passed
upon the validity of the act creating
the commission. In return for such a
pledge Mr. La Guardia informed Mr..
MoAneny he would use his influence with
his colleagues of the board to push
through an appropriation for the COM
mission. Otherwise, Mr.. La Guardia
continued, he would deem 1t his duty ito
protect the citys funds and property"
Mr.. McAneny replied that the COM
mission had arrived at no conclusion
regarding a plan for handling the tran
sit situation, and. therefore, he could
give the Aldermanic President no in
formation upon that subject. Regarding
the applications for appropriations pend
ing before the Board of Estimate, Mr..
McAneny wrote
You are aware. of course, of the
obligation that rests upon the Board OF
Estimate to supply such funds as they
are required in order to avoid unneces-
sary delay In the completion of transit
facilities that are badly needed. can
not add to your knowledge of what your
duty may be in this respect. and have,
therefore, no suggestion TO advance with
relation to the course Of action you shall
take"

Judge Chatfield Turns Over
Liquor Seized in Long

United States Judge Thomas l. Chat
field in Brooklyn sustained yesterday
decision of Federal Judge Garvin and
ordered the release for distribution to
hospitals OF 1,076 cases of bonded whis-
key which were seized in the Long ISL
and Railroad yards in Long Island City
last December.
The liquor was consigned to the Lack
awanna Supply Company at Orange. n.
j., which firm never claimed it. Three
weeks ago Jacob Kessler of 533 West
112th street. Manhattan, was granted
an order from Judge Chatfield directing
United States Attorney Leroy w. Ross
to show cause why he should not be re-
strained from disposng of the whiskey.
Kessler said he had loaned 100000 on
warehouse receipts and therefore was
entitled to that amount of interest in
the liCuor. The application was de-
MED on the ground that kessler had
made no showing at all upon which he
was entitled TO any relief.

urged. A petition to lower the
rates on the lines of the Capital

adopted and placed in the hands of
the Public Utilities Commission.

presidents Of the associations are
Invited to attend.
