dicted Feb. 10, 1920, on the charge of

endar would be an injustice TO his
client, as he had to leave on Feb. 2C
with the Giants on their Southern
training trip.
The lawyer said that the case had
been sleeping for a year, and that il
the defendant were TO be kept in the
city his livelihood would be impaired,
as the case could not be tried, on the
District Attorneys admission, within
two weeks. Judge Mulqueen ordered
the case placed on the preferred cal

of Milk on Hand.

With more snow officially predicted
in the next thirty-six hours, New
York to-day redoubled it's efforts to
dig itself out of the snow that, be-
ginning early Sunday morning, buried
the city under more than twelve
inches Of snow in less than twenty
four hours, disrupted traffic and
resulted in twelve deaths,
Street Cleaning Commissioner Leo
to-day asked for an appropriation of
S1,00o,OoO for snow removal. His
department has $1,000 men shovelling
snow and they have cleared the main
arteries within the city so that little
congestion in surface traffic was
reported.
One hundred and eighty-six trac-
tors are in operation, 100 in Man
haitian, % in Brooklyn and IA in
the Bronx. In addition to the trac-
tors there are 300 new trucks with
blades in operation. 1t was esti-
mated that the work of cutting routes
for traffic had already resulted in
the clearing away OF S91 miles of
snow.
The progress was made possible by
the early start the snow cleaning
forces got and the fact that the abb
sence of traffic on Sunday gave them
q chance for unhampered operation.
The holiday tomorrow also is well
coined as a chance TO continue the
street clearing work.
In addition to its other facilities
the Street Cleaning Department is
testing to-day a new loading and
. piling machine said to be capable
of loading a five-ton truck in one
minute and OF doing the work OF
twenty-five men shovelling snow.
RAPID PROGRESS MADE IN
CLEARING THE STREETS.
In the district between 42d and 72d
Streets from Sixth Avenue to the
Hudson River 1000 men are at work,
with fourteen tractors and 100 trucks
Rapid progress was made and no Sc
rious congestion was reported. More
than 5000 men are working at snow
removal in Brooklyn.
The New York Railways Company
announced that while its surface
cars were subjected to certain
amount OF delays due to motor
trucks stalled on the tracks, there
has been no tie-up in the system.

would turn its attention to the new
programme as soon as the pending
emergency tariff measure was out Of
tho way There was said to be some
sentiment among committee members
for re-enactment OF the Payne
Aldrich law as stopgap measure,
that beng the shortest possible way
such a proposition could be handled
in Congress.
Mr.. Fordney was inclined TO favor
such a proceeding, although he felt
that some of the rates were not in

change situation.
Many details OF the programme
agreed to will be worked out be-
tween Senate and House leaders and
submitted asain to Mr.. Harding, 1t IS

is A HEARST COUNSEL.
Californian Has Appeared for
Editor in Legal Matters on
Several Occasions.

Senator Hiram w. Johnson of Cali
fornia, who won the fight for munich
pal ownership Of trolley lines in his
State, has been appointed special
counsel to this city in its fight
against the Miller plan of administer
ing the city railroads by commission
and the abrogation of the five-cent
fare.
A letter Of acceptance was received
to-day by Corporation Counsel John
p. O'Brien. Senator johnson will ar
rive in New York on Wednesday to
begin the battle. Johnson has been
W. II. Hearst's legal representative on
many occasions.
The following statement was is
sued to-day by the Corporation
Counsel:
"Inasmuch as the traction interests
intend to have abrogated the five
cent fare contracts existing between
the city and the traction corpora
Glons, by legislative enactment at
Albany, which has for its purpose, by
nullifying and setting aside contracts
at will by state officials, an increase
in fare, extracting between sixty
and one hundred millions yearly out
of the pockets of the people; and
| inasmuch as the abrogation OF solemn
contracts against the peoples inter-
ests and in favor of powerful cor
porate interests goes to the very
vitals of constitutional government
and has a bearing on every contract
made in the United States under our
constitutional form of government,
it behoves the Mayor and the Cor
poration Counsel of this city to use
every means at their command TO
uphold the solemn agreements made
with the people of this city by the
traction interests, and protect the
people from being compelled to pay
additional millions yearly to these in
terests.
Il have, after consultation with and
approval OF Mayor Hylan, secured the
services Of Hon. Hiram w. John
son, who fought the railroad interests
in the State of California and drove
them from the control OF the State
Government; who was a dominant
factor in the establishment Of munic-
ipal ownership and operation OF
street railways in that state, and
who will aid in this fight TO uphold
and preserve for the people the sa-
cred rights guaranteed TO them by the
State and Federal Constitutions, the
bulwark of government and the pal
ladium OF our liberties and our free
dom.
Il received last night from Sena-
tor Johnson the following telegram:
Il am very glad to undertake
the employment as special coun-
sci in the endeavOr to protect
and preserve the Citys rights
from the assault now being made
upon them. l congratulate the
Mayor and you and the other city
officials upon the valiant struggle
you are making, / recognize the
odds in the contest and the tre-
mendous opposition and difficult
obstacles which must be encoun-
tered, but it's the old, old fight
with special privilege and exploit
ing corporate greed on the one
side and the simple justice and
inherent rights of the mass Of the
people on the other. You are
fighting the good hght ana / am
delighted 70 be a part Of it with
you. HIRAM w. JOHNSON"

morning, but three at least of the hold
up men escaped. One arrest was made.
but the man protested his innocence
and no weapon was found upon him.
Patrolman Schetino of the West
Forty-seventh street station, saw the
four men go into the billiard room and
suspected something was wrong, so
he followed. AS he entered he caught a
brief glimpse Of roaamful of men
with their hands in the air and then
some one knocked his nightstick from
his hands and all was confusion. He
drew his pistol and fired shot at the
ceiling, which brought Patrolman Nc
Kay. The two policemen searched
everybody in the place, but found no
one with a gun.
Michael Delino of 54S West Thirty

before Schetno entered one of the four
robbers had struck him with the butt
of his gun and taken $50 from his
pocket. Delino picked out of the crowd
a man who said he was William Hoey,

he was locked up. though he had
neither a gun nor Delino's money.
