800 There is one transfer COM
pany in DEBORAH for long or short
distance hauling that stands out
prominently over all others, due to
the fact that they are so well equip
ped with trucks, and give such quick
service. The firm is always found
in the front ranks when there is
any work to do for the city's good.
The owner of this firm we have in
mind in this number has in his name
letters "RUNSB'. 1t is needless to
tell you he Is agent for the Standard
Oil Co. When he first went into the
transfer business a number of years
ago, all he had was a mule with a
set of harness and today he has
built a firm with motor cars and
everything you could possibly think
of in the way of moving outfit. If
you are blue and want to get
"cheered up" and Keep Smiling"
drop in and say Hello" TO the owner
and he will fix you up with broad
simel and pat you on the back. What
is the name of this transfer COM
pany? Who is the proprietor?

Legion Foresees Suicides
Due to State Economy

When word was received in this city
yesterday of the action of the State
Military Hospital Commission in rec
ommending the abandonment Of the
plan for hospital for soldier insane
at Creedmoor, L. l.. American Legion
officials charged that the state was
economizing at the expense Of its
stricken soldiers.
Cornelius W. Wickersham, son of
former United States Attorney General
George W. Wickersham, who is chair
man of the Legion's committee inves-
tgating the condition of disabled vet
Grams, was thoroughly aroused by the
state commissions action. He said:
'1t is the opinion OF the committee.
after careful investigation, that the
moneys paid by the Federal govern
ment for the care of such cases to
stay in this hospital would be more
than sufficient for the running ex
penses of the institution, which would
continue to belong to the state and be
available for other mental cases after
the cure of the ex-service men. 1t is
almost unbelievable that the State of
New York, in fit of economy, should
drive thousand disabled veterans of
the a. f. F. into deeper darkness of
insanity, or to suicde.''

minor amendments 20 the bill provid-
ing for the distribution of a bonus
among the 450,000 World War veterans
in the state prevented the advancement
of the bill in the Assembly to-day to
the order Of the passage.
When the measure was called up
Miss Margaret L. Smith, Republican.
of New York, who introduced it, asked
that the measure be 1ecommitted to
committee for amendments. The bill
provides for $45,000,000 bond issue to
meet the requirements of the bonus
plan and creates commission to con
sist of the Attorney General, the Ad-
jutant General and the State Comp
troller to supervise the distribution of
the money.
Another bill of Miss Smiths, creating
state disability fund to take care
Of wounded vetei ans was advanced to
third reading. The advancement of the
measure was fought by World War
veterans in the Assembly on the ground
it does not meet the approval of the
American Legion. They sought to have
amendments, and came near winning
their point, as the measure was ad
vanced with vote of only 40 to 34
The amendments to the bill deal
with time for filing of application for
bonus and method of identification. The
limit for filing requests is shortened
by six months. Intead of July l. 1928,
the last day will be January /, 1928.

Be Sought Next Week
Legion Makes Protest
Federal Government De-

Part of the Agreement
From a Sto1 Correspondent

From q Stu6 Correspondent
ALBANY, March 31.-Legislation is
to be introduced next week to repeal
the act passed during the extraordi-
nary session last September providing
for the appropriation of S3,000,0o0 for
the construction Of state military
hospital to house the states soldier
insane. Failure of the Federal gov
ernment to abide by it's agreement to
lease this hospital for period Of ten
years at $300,00O year and to provide
treatment for New York men who be-
came insane while in service has made
this step necessary.
Recommendation for the repeal has
been made by the State Military Com
mission on the ground that the state
cannot afford to finance the undertak-
ing.
VIII Not Lack Care
This does not mean, however, that
the unfortunatcs of the state, who be-
came insane while in the service of
their country, will not be taken care
Of. Plans have been made to give
treatment to these men--there arc
about b00-at the partly completed
Marcy Hospital, near Utica. 1t is said
the advantage of the plan lies in the
TACT that the men will get more imme-
diate treatment than were they to wait
Tor the construction of the proposed
hospital, which was to have been built
on the Creedmore site, on Long Island.
1t was said here to-day that, the
state through its own Commission for
the insane and its staff Of experts and
trained attendants, hopes to launch at
tho vvCrl- of A..
sane veterans.
1t is probable that there will be stiff
opposition to the proposed repeal of
the Military Hospital Commission act.
" hen it became known to-day that
plans were being considered for drop
ping the project leaders were besieged
by requests from American Legion
posts not to abandon the program. The
leaders reply is that the state cannot
afford to spend the money and that
before the year is over the Marcy de-
velopment will have progressed to q
point where the veterans can be given
ample accommodation and adequate
treatment.
United States Blocks Plan
The plan for the state military hos
pital was formed last September when
representatives of the Federal govern
ment Informed Governor Smith and
legislative leaders that the state could
assist in the treatment of its insane
soldiers if it would build a hospital
for housing them. The Federal gov
ornment was in turn to lease it for a
period of not less than ten years and
at rental of 100000 year.
When the institution was no longer
needed by the Federal government it
was to be returned to the state, which
then would make it link in it's chain
OF state insane hospitals. The sugges-
ton looked attractive, and a commits
SION was created to prepare the plans
for the construction of the hospital.
The preliminary work was done, but
no real progress made because the
Federal government failed to carry out
its agreement

Wall St. Bomb Suspect
Sought in Philadelphia
Chief Flynn Confers With
Quaker City Officials as Re-
suit of Positive Clew
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

PHILADELPHIA, March S1.-The
man alleged to have been responsible
for the Wall Street bomb explosion
last September in New York, which
killed thirty persons and MANNED and
injured scores of others, is now sought
in Philadelphia.
That information leaked out to-day
following a flying visit of William j
Flynn, chief Of the United States Bu-
reau Of Investigation, who came from
New York City and departed imlAe-
diately after long secret conference
with Director of Public Safety Cortel-
you and superintendent Mills. The
meeting between the three officials was
held behind closed doors in Director
Cortelyou's private Office in City Hall.
Chief Flynn refused to discuss the
conference. 1t became known, how
ever, that "hot trail" of the anar-
the fateful September 16 and in which
the destructive time bomb let 60
once lived in Philadelphia. Further
more, it is reported that the man hid
in his old home for several days after
the disaster.
With such alleged positive informa-
tion at his command Chief Flynn, to-
gether with an unnamed number of
Secret Service agents, arrived in this
city prepared to locate the long-sought
cUlprit.
In view of the long standing friend
ship between Director Cortelyou and
the head of the Secret Service force
Of the government, the latter is said
to have asked Director Cortelyou for
q dozen of his best men to assist in
the hunt
