nations.

OF Mrs. Raizen would be decided by the
court after reports had been submitted
by three sets of alienists, one repre-
serting the state, one the defence and
the other the lunacy commission

Trail of Ambergris

Near Invalid Whale
Southampton Mariners Say
Huge Visitor Cannot Es-

Huge Profit by Capture

SOUTHAMPTON, l.. l., Dec. 22.-Rc-
ported discovery to-day Of pieces Of
ambergris along shore Weighing from
two ounces to almost a pound, caused
intense excitement among whaling
sharps of the vicinity, who declare the
antics Of a bowhead whale sighted
in the bay at intervals during three
days past are now explained. The
whale is full Of ambergris, they say.
When news OF the ,ambergris dis
covery was reported to Captain Ever
ett Edwards, the old whaler said he
would get that whale If it took him
all winter, and added that the whale 8
peculiar actions were now plain as day.
Whales suffering from ambcrgris
biliousness, Captain Edwards ex-
p1ained. seek shallow water and lie on
the bottom until they get rid of the
stuff Some of them throw off as much
as 100 pounds of ambergris, he de-
clared. That much, the captain said,
is worth its weight in gold and would
make the fortune of the man who
found it.
Search Tor the wandering whale was
kept up along shore by scores of eager
mariners with glasses, but owing to
rough weather, it was explained. the
huge creature remained submerged. A
thick mist made vision difficult even
with glasses, but lookouts with binocu-
lars were posted on sand dunes for
miles along shore.
Old-timers among whaling experts of
the locality said that if the whale is
giving off ambergris it will probably
be killed with ease during the next
few days, because whales become very
weak afterward and often float for
days before recovering their strength
sufficiently to swim.

Officials Face
Jail as Budget
Crisis Grows
tosatinusd from page ens)

Supreme Court will make it impossible
for the city officials to collect be-
tween $5,000,000 and $S,0o0,000, which
they had counted on from the tax on
capital stock and surplus of banks
Eliminating this amount. which would
have gone into the general fund for
the reduction Of taxes, the budget is
brought far above the per cent legal
tax limit. If the order of the Appel
late Division is enforced, the budget
would be about s1o,ooo,00o above the
legal limit.
Mr.. Deutsch declared last night that
unless the budget was remade by the
25th SO as to include the pension fund
money the Mayor and other members
of the Board of Estimate would find
themselves in contempt of court and
might have to go to Jail. The City
Clerk announced yesterday that he
would send the budget to the Comp
troller to-day for his signature.
This will be refused by Deputy Comp
troller Smith on the grounds already
mentioned and on the further grounds
that the Board Of Aldermen acted
illegally when, in opposition to the
suggestion of the Comptroller, it cut
$275,000 from the county expenses of
Richmond, another eleventh hour meas
stitutional tax limit. The salaries of
Supreme Court justices and other court
officers, fixed by statute, were cut out
of the Richmond County budget. The
Comptroller contends that the Board OF
Aldermen has no legal right to reduce
any salaries or other expenses fixed by
the state law.
The Comptroller suggested at the
time that $10,000,000 should be deduct
ed from the Board Of Education appro-
priation to reduce the tax rate in Rich
mond and the Bronx, which was above
the legal limit, to comply with the law
The Mayor and the Aldermen disre-
garded the Comptrollers advice and re
sorted to the method of taking q
smaller amount from the county
budgets in Richmond and the Bronx.

Is Abandoned
Republican Leaders Protest
at Idea Of Promoting
Him to Lieutenant Gov

by Failure of Silver Serv.
ice Man to Give Up Senate

Tho plan to remove" Senator Clay
ton +. Lusk from the leadership Of the
Senate by making him Lieutenant Gov
ernor through the appointment OF Lieu
tenant Governor jeremiah Wood to the
Supreme Court bench has been aban-
doned, it was learned yesterday, be-
Senators who believe that tho majority
leader should be entirely eliminated
from the political picture.
Opponents Of Senator Lusk protested
against any such removal" holding
that not only was it promotion. but
would put the stamp of approval for
mally upon his acceptance of the 81, 1,1S2
silver service from the New York de-
tectives after putting through bill
raising their salaries and making their
Jobs permanent.
Republican Senators who believe that
Senator Lusk should retire because of
his connection with the detectives leg
station said yesterday that the only
leader was in action by tho party lead
ers. They are pinning their faith es-
pecially on William L. Ward. of West
chester, and George W. Aldridge of
Monroe.
At first it was believed by those who
want Mr.. Lusk and the silver service to
become memory as soon as possible
that Governor Miller. who was respon-
Siole for the election of his lifelong
chum as majority leader, would ask the
member from Cortland to retire grace
fully. But Governor Miller's position
has been that he cannot with good
grace do that.
Men close to Senator Lusk say that
he has no intention Of resigning, and
'i1at he is counting on Governor Mill
cr's friendship to prevent majority
of the Republican Senator'S from for
maliy demanding that he retire.
Not only are those who want to see
Senator Lusk oustcd from the leader
ship regretfu at the turn the affair
has taken. but the friends of Lieuten-
ant GOVERNOR Wood are also disap-
pointed MIR Wood and his friends
looked with pleasure to his resignation,
which would mean his appointment at
once to the Supreme Court bench in the
2d Judicial District, to succeed the late
Justice Arnon l.. Squiers. Of Brooklyn.
While the successor to Justice
Sauscrs would have to run next fall
for the full term Of fourteen years, the
friends of the Lieutenant Governor
we're not afraid Of this, as the district,
which includes Kings, Queens, Suffolk,
Nassau and Richmond counties, is con-
sidcred safe Republican territory. 1t
WAS this district which elected Dis
irict Attorney Harry Lewis, Of Brook
Ign. to the Supreme Court last month
on a straight Republican ticket.

The price of turkeys went down yes
tcrday and that OF Christmas trees
mounted.
In many stores turkey was quoted
at 8 to 10 cents a pound under
Wednesdays quornraons. Large sup
plies Of western turkeys and Important
southern consignmcnts were received
during tho day. A heavy influx Of

cents wholesale. Dressed turkey was
quoted yesterday by wholesale dealers
at 4S to 52 cents.
Hcrschel II. Jones, director Of tho
