He Insists sRockefeller
Plan Menaces Children
Assails Interests Again
Differences Of Connolly and
Craig Are Honest, Mayor
Says; Praises La Guardia

Mayor Hylan addressed four meet
ings last night in tour of Queens.
He opened in Hettinger's Hall, Long
Island City, went to Newtown High
School, thence to Flushing High School
and closed at the Jamaica Training
School. In each speech he attacked
"the interests" and the "Rockefeller
plan' Of education.
He declared the principal security
holders in traction and all other public
utility corporations in New York to be
"the Rockefeller interests" They were
also, he said, the chief financial back
ers and supporters of the Gary school
system. That system. he said, was
designed to provide children for the
mills and factories. The Rockefellers,
he added, were sponsors of Che Gary
plan through the Rockefeller Educa-
tion Board and the Public Education
Association
"Let me tell you, Also" shouted the
Mayor, that the Rockefellers and
their associates are chief financial
hackers Of Mr.. Curran's campaign.
They were, if you remember, his largest
hackers when he ran for Borough Pres
ident in 1919"
The Mayor accused Mr.. Curran OF
failing to give him proper support in
financing the schools and charged that
he frequently WAS absent from meet
Of fbo Re- cf EcS
portionment. Plunging into school
matters, he said :
"Now, as to this part-time bugaboo
What is part time? Not what my de-
tractors say it is, by any means Part
time does not mean half time, as they
say it does. Part time means four
hours day or more, instead of the
usual fve-hour school day. Sixty per
cent of the children of New York City
are on fye-hour day. They are chill
dren between six and seven years old
OF All elem ertary schools 332 are on
full time. There are only las schools
in the city where part time is in force
Instead Of there being 10000 part
verslty assert, there are actually only
1882 children going to school part
time. These figures constitute the diff
terence between fact and fancy"
Mayor Hyan followed the same pro-
cess of mathematics in discussing the
high school situation. In his Newtown
High School speech the Mayor referred
to differences Of opinion" between
Comptroller Craig and Borough Presi-
dent Connolly of Queens. He said they
were honest differences of opinion. He
also praised President La Guardia, of
the Board of Aldermen, who, he de-
clared, was "too honest and efficient
an-4oficial to suit the traction inter
ests.'
Comptroller Craig in speech made
Following Mayor Hylan charged that
the "overshadowing crime of the last
three and half years" had been the
success attained by the traction in
forests in procuring legislation to
strip the city of New York of its rights
and properties and to confer upon an
irresponsible commission authority to
grant to the traction interests control
OF the city's lines Of transportation
service for two generations to come"

Untermyer Insists
Tax Y Valuations
Are.Unduly High
Appears in Court for Lock-
wood Committee to Aid
Tenants in Appeal of
Kent Increase Finding

Samuel Untermyer, special counsel
for the Lockwood housing investiga-
ton, declared before Judge Learned
Hand in this United States Circuit
Court OF AppSals yesterday that his
experience shows that the real estate
assessments upoa which city taxes for
the SUPPORT of the Hylan administra-
ton are based are usually above the
real value of the property.
Mr. Untermyer was in court at the
request Of the Lockwood committee
as special counsel for the tenants of
AJvo J1uthern Boulevard on an ap-
peal from the finding of Special Master
Edward ii. Childs to the effect that a
rent increase Inaugurated October /,
1920, by the receivers for the building
was reasonable.
The case came up in the United
States courts because the receivers
operating the apartment at the time of
the rent increase, former Judge Walter
c. Noyes and A. C. Marling, were ap-
pointed by Federal court.
Special Master Childs had placed the
value of the apartment house at $780,
600, basing his finding upon the fact
that it was sold last June for that sum;
chat it was appraised in 1916 at $780,
WV, anu IHttL ~ WAS dSScSScu LNlS year
at $3O0,O00. Mr.. Untermyer contended
that this valuation was based upon fig
ures unduly high. AS to what consti-
tuted reasonable return on the invest
ment, ne contended that per cent
should be set as the maximum.
C. w. Wickershsm, of the law firm
of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft,
as counsel for the receivers, moved the
confirmation of the special masters
finding. Judge Hand gave the attor-
neys until next Tuesday to file briefs
i'll support of their arguments.

Woman Dead i'm Room.
Minister-Husband Gone
Apoplexy Thought Cause, but
Autopsy Ordered on Victim,
Believed Mrs. Y. C.. Dura1,d

An autopsy will be performed to-day
to determine the cause Of the death of
a woman about sixty years old, believed
to be Mrs. l.. G Durand, whose bodv
was found yesterday in q room at 1873
West 126th Street, which she and a
man in clerical garb. thought to be her
husband, had rented Thursday after
noon.
DR.. Hohmann, Assistant Medical Ex
aminer, expressed the opinion last
night that the woman had died from
spoplexy. There were no marks of vio-
lence on the body, except for slight
bruise on the face, which might have
been caused by a fall. The womans
face was suffused as though she had
died from asphyxiation.
When she and the man believed to be
the Rev. l.. G. Durand rented the room
they told the proprietor of the house.
Mrs. Anna McDonegal, that thew ha
been living in the neighborhood and
were in search of less expensive quar-
ters. They took a room on the ton
floor, in the rear.
The man went out about 8 a. M.
carrying bag. About D. M, having
heard nothing from his companion,
Mrs. McDonegal forced the locked door
OF their room and found The woman.
She was dressed, and was lying on the
bed with plush coat over her face.
The police found package of photo
graphs of the male lodger which was
addressed to the Rev. l.. G.. Durand. in
Paterson, N. j., and asked the police Of
that city to notify him of the woman's
death

Committee Tells Citizens

A new poster in the series Of Mayor
Hylan's Broken Promises put out
by the coalition campaign committee,
appeared yesterday tllroughout the city.
This one is entitled "Taxes and Rents"
and says:
"In 1917 Mr.. Hylan, asking for your
vote, declared the most striking evil
dence of the extravaganza, wa teful-
ness and inefficiency Of an administra-
tion is found III the tax rate. There
is something wrong when property is

point blank that the letters had been
scnt to the principals as such. He
said;
If any such letters were sent they
were not sent to the individuals as
school principals or school teachers.
.,"t were sent because their names
happened to be on the list along with
snose ci hundreds of other citizens.
we have received more than 800 ac-
ceptances to date, and If there are
any principals or teachers among
them l cannot say"
This statement is directly ref,,ted
in the letters received by the princi-
pals. These letters bear the name of
John II. Delaney and urge the princi-
pals to join the committee "to work
for the reelection of John f. Hylan. :"
The letter was q form letter, and
spaces left at the top were designated
principals name," and address of
school" A canvass of the schools
yesterday shows that in every case the
letter was sent to the principal in his
or her capacity as principal. and was
sent to the school address, not to the
private address of the principal.
So demoralized has the morale of
the school statfs become as a result of
the growth of political interference in
their administration under the Hylan
regime, that the principals and teach
ers are absolutely afraid to express an
opinion. Many Of them are even
afraid to enter as candidate for pro-
motion in the fear that even their
present position might be jeopardized
because Of their lack of political pull.
The situation was aptly described in
the following manner by another prin-
cipal who showed the representative of
The Tribune the form letter she had
received from Mr.. Delaney
"Up to the time of this administra-
tion the Board Of Education was all
for the schools with perhaps little
politics in Fifty-ninth Street on the
side. Now it is all politics with lit
tie for the schools on the side"
DR.. William L. Ettinger, Superin-
tendent OF Schools, said yesterday
that no formal order forbidding prin
cipals to join the campaign committee
Of any candidate would be sent out.
He said that he thought his letter to
Miss Florence NJ. Marshall, principal
of the Manhattan Trade School, COW
cred the subject sufficiently. He said
that official action would be taken
against any principal or teacher, how
eyer, who engaged extensively in any
Campaigning.

Public Education Association, said yes

lan's attempt to coerce the principals:

American Lumberman's
Lumber Market Report

The retail lumber business remains
comparatively quies, though the re-
cent winter weather has stimulated
construction to some extent. The
majority of retailers anticipate a
fairly large volume of business this
year and consequently the volume of
inquiries going to manufacturers is
heavy, although the volume of actual
sales remains below the normal level
for this season.
Production of lumber continues on
very low basis. Detailed figures
show that so far this year both or
ders and shipments have exceeded ac-
tual production; thus the volume of
lumber in producers hands has been
slightly diminished. In fact, at this
time lumber manufacturers have
somewhere between z and per cent
of a years cut on hand unsold.
Should the spring buying develop
heavily, it is very easy to see, there
fore, that prices may be expected to
increase
At present prices have shown little
change. In the Southern pine terri
tory there has been a tendency to
tighten quotations and this tendency
continues. On the Pacific coast and
in the Douglas fir region some very
low prices can be obtained on special
stock, while cutting business, because
of the comparatively few number of
mills operating, is hard to place and
prices are much more to the salts
faction of sellers. Some producers
of pine lumber in the West have re-
duced prices recently, this being a
movement by some companiese to re-
adjust their prices to the lower prices
asked by competitors. No immediate
change in the price situation is
looked for, though there is a strong
likelihood that prices viii slowly, but
surely firm up.

FIFTY QUIT WHEN
MILL CUTS. WAGES

Fifty employees walked out of the
Newman Lumber Company's Hat
tiesburg plant last week as result
of the announcement of reduction
of fifty cents per day in the wage
scale of all employees, throwing ESQ
other employees here out of work,
and causing officials to close oper--
ations temporarily. Officials reported
that 300 woodsmen would have to be
laid off should these employees refuse
to return to work.
A. B. WEIGH, general superlntend-
ant said today: "The cut Of fifty
cents per day in the wage scale, aver
aging from 10 to 20 per cent accord
ing to the rate of pay, was made ne
cessary through the demoralized con-
dition of the lumber market at the
present, coupled with falling prices.
In order for US to produce lumber
at a competing price, it is necessary
for US to reduce costs or close our
plants.
mot wishing to close down and
thus throw our employees out of work
we decided, the only thing to do was
to offer to continue operations, des-
pite the dullness of the markets, and
the cut in wages was the only So
luton.
Many people are out of work and
seeking jobs at this time, and we feel
that our offer to continue operations
with our present employees at a slight
ly reduced scale was and is fair
one"
One of the foremen at the plant
here, telling of the attitude of the
employees toward the reduction, said
that nearly all the men realized that
wage reductions were necessary in
the effort to get back to pre-war
conditions, but felt that it was es-
pecially hard on workers here, where
he asserted price reductions have not
kept pace with cuts in smaller COM
munities nearby.

Automatic TelIers
Installed in Schools

A great and important movement
was inaugurated in the schools last
Thursday when automatic receiving
tellers were installed in the High and
Central Schools for school savings.
The opening address was made by
Sanford w. Lindsay, director Of
school savings of New Orleans, in the
auditorium of the new High School
and at the close OF his address near
riot occurred when the pupils rushed
forward to be among the first of the
thrift soldiers.
After the installation of the ma
chine, one was taken to the Central
School and the children assembled in
the lower hall, where the workings
of the system were explained to
them and it is expected that keen
rivalry will develop between the two
schools. When the movement has at
tanned larger proportions it is the
intention to install the devices in all
