So GAS MILLER'S AIM,

Tammany Men in Mass Meet
ING Say Governor Seeks 10
Cent Phone Calls Too.

Mayor Hylan's cohorts raised the ante
on Gov. Miller last night at mass meet
ing in the Turn Han, Lexington avenue
and East EiShty-fifth street when they
added ten cent telephone calls and So
gas to the eight cent battle cry of Tam
many. Henry II. Klein, Deputy Com
missioner of Accounts, presiding, let the
public in on that information. but Gid
not reveal the source of his knowledge,
Backed by the oratory of John p.
O Brien. Corporation Counsel Grover
Whalen. Commissioner of Plant and
structures. and John L. Carew, Repre-
sentative in Congress, Mr. Klein had
adopted resolutions opposing the Cover
nor's proposal for the creation of a state
commission to solve the city's transit
problems.
Mr.. Klein said that the people of New
York now are paying $3.50, 100000 a
year for gas. electricity. telephones and
transit utilities. He felt sure that Gov.
Miller. wants to double that figure. The
reason for that was. he explained. that
the great moneyed interests, such as
Rockefeller, J. +. Morgan. Kuhn, Loeb &
Co, and Others" were responsible for
Gov. Miller's election. Mr.. Klein did
not have time to go into the details of
how they managed TO bring about such
q landslide for the Governor.
Lest some "moneyed interest" feels
sighted. however. Assemblyman +. l..
Hackenberg of the Fourteenth Assem-
bly, district amended Mr. Kleins version
by letting all of Wall Street in on re-
sponsibility for Gov. Miller's election. IL
also appeared from what he said that the
Governor is working under strict orders
from the same source.
Representative Carew expressed the
belief that Gov Miller is nothing less
than "a satrap OF big business" and in
timatcd that he would not be surprised
If he's worse than that.
Corporation Counsel OBrien said that
constitutionally and statutorially speak
ing. the Governor is quite as bad an
actor as a financial expert, and he fer
vcntly warned the people to be on their
guard"

AS one of the leaders put it last ngiht:
1--WE feel the municipal election is. after
all, involved in this proposition. y hos
tile Board of Estimate could do many
thinge to block the smooth working out
OF any plan the commission might de-
eide upon. To our mind the successful
and speedy solution of the problem VIII
depend In no small measure on having
a Board of Estimate that can work in
harmony with it. For that reason VIC
do not believe the bill should be open
to misconstruction and misreprcsenta-
tion on the score of an increased fare.
You and I might concede that there
would be no fare change prior To an
investigation and hearing. but the dema-
gogue would loudly ask 10 be shown the
provision preventing such thing"

The discovery of three cases of

the announcement that Congress will
be asked immediately to appropriate
100000 to enlarge the quarantine sta
ton at the port of New York, were
the outstanding features yesterday Nj

spreading in the United States.
The upstate victims. were three
children OF an Italian family who were
admitted January 5. The fact that
they were given clean bill of health
at Quarantine supported the charge
of Health Commissioner Copeland that
the Federal authorities have. been lax
in the enforcement of sanitary pre-
cautions at this port.

Ellis Island Called Uncienn'

The Health Department continued its
inspection of immigrants at the Battery
and at Grand Central Terminal. OF $40
examined 81 were detained as possible
typhus carriers. One man with a con-
tagious disease was sent to Willard
Parker Hospital 10 await Government
action. He probably will be deported.
The most significant fact which yes
terday's Inspection disclosed was the
unclean condition Of Ellis Island itself
The Adriatic, which arrived several days
ago. was examined at her pier and pro-
nounced spic and span. but when her 200
steerare passengers arrived at the Bat
terry after passing through the immisra-
ton station 20 of them were infested
with Vermin.
There were several clashes between
the local health authorities and the GUS
toms inspectors upon the arrival of two
immigrant laden ships from Italy. The
Gugliemo Peirce docked at the foot OF
West Fifty-sixth street with 261 cabin
and 967 steerage passengers. Several
hundred of the cabin passengers had
been landed when Or. A. Blauvelt of
Commissioner Copelands staff ordered
them back on the ship for an oXamina-
tion.
This created confusion and met with
opposition from the customs men. They
were told the passengers would not be
allowed TO land at all unless they sub
mitted to inspection. None of them was
held.
When the Henry r. Mallory docked az
Pier As from Palermo. Sicily, similar
inspection was held. There was no dis
ease on board. but while women nurses
were examining two young women pas
sengers they discovered 2oS small vials
OF cocaine concealed in their under
clothing. They were turned back to the
customs inspectors and held for attempt
ing to smuggle narcotic drugs.
