TRANSIT HEARINGS
OFF FOR CAMPAIGN
Commission Postpones Them
Until November 10, After
Election of Mayor.

To prevent as far as possible the
Hylan administration from making the
transit readjustment plan football OF
politics" during the municipal campaign
the Transit Commission announced
yesterday that the public hearings upon
the plan. which were set tentatively for
this week, will be postponed until after
the election. November 10 has been set
as the date for the first hearing.
'"rhe outline Of the plan published by
the commission ut the end of Septem-
ber." said an announcement by the COM
mission. was given out at the earliest
date at which 1t could be completed, in
order to inform the public Of the
progress made, and to furnish a basis
for study in advance of the hearings.
The reception given the report by the
press and the discussion that has fol-
lowed have been gratifying. But while
much of the criticism has been construc-
tive and of helpful tendency there has
been pronounced disposition in some
quarters to make the transit plan q
football of politics. employing prejudiced
misrepresentation and abuse In place Of
dispassionate inquiry.
1T has become increasingly evident
that such an attitude makes it futile to
attempt to develop the plan through the
medium of the examinations proposed
while the campaign is on.
The commissions programme has
nothing to do with politics, and Its
action will not be affected either one
way or the other by the issue of the
election. It's function Is to work out a
reorganization based on sound economic
principles. to repair as far as 1t can the
damage that has been done and to re-
lieve the present intoerable conditions
vii nf
sureness required.
THE commission believes, therefore,
that short delay in beginning its series
or hearings-whch could In no event be
finished until considerable time after
electlon--will be more than compensated
for by the better progress that will be
made when the whole matter may be
approached free from the biased and
unreasoning spirit engendered by
political contest.
Former Senator Abraham Kaplan re-
fused to accept the declaration OF Sam
ueI Untermyer that the former Senator
did not know enough about the transit
situation to make it worth while to
enter into debate with him, and reit-
Grated his challenge to Mr. Untermyer
TO meet him.
Does he overlook the fact" Kaplan
asked. that I have been two years in
the State Senate. where have had to
listen to the arguments of both sides
and give study to the problem involved"
kaplan charged that the Untermyer
plan for the city to lend money to mike
up operating deficits is an increased
fare plan in disguise, the only difference
being that the Transit Commissions
plan. If it increased the fare. would do
so directly, while the Untermyer plan
would accomplish the same end indi-
rectly through taxation.

COTTON PRICES GO

Active List Finishes With
Losses Of 20 to 80 Points
From Saturdays Close.

In the face Of a threatened rail strike
general statistical and economical con-
siderations were ignored by yesterdays

downward tendency and steadily de-
clined until the final gong. when the
active list showed losses OF 20 to 50
points from Saturdays close. AS is al
ways the case. when big bear factor
appears many others crop up from every
where. Wall Street interests sold on
the favorable weather map, which
further enhanced the chances for q
larger crop than was predicted by the
last Government estimate. They sold

At its weakest level the market for
January was 80 points lower at 1910.
January closed on Saturday at 1902.
Nervous Wall Street longs, who sold
cotton steadily from the outset, based
their operations on the idea that the
effect of tieup Of the country's rail-
roads would mean the withdrawal os
spinners from Southern markets to
avoid having cotton. as the money that
1t represented would be valueless for
the period of the strike. Business In
cotton goods for forward delivery
which is very light. could easily fall
away to nothing.
At one time in the afternoon heavy
liquidation by outside and local long In
terests was fairly we'll absorbed. prices
showing a recovery OF about % points
from the early low. Renewed active
selling In the final half hour cancelled
all Of the recovery and brought about
movement to new lows for the day
and the present decline. Professionals
took chance on Liverpool's opening
weak to-day. and were among the
prominent sellers.
The local market for spot cotton was
down 30 points from Saturdays price
to 1875 cents. In New Orleans the

PAROLEO PRISONER
STEALS AUTO

Sheriff Joe Stern returned to Car
son City recently having in custody
Keith Watson, who is charged with
the theft of Herbert !Heidenre1ch S
automobile from lower Carson street
the early morning OF August 3d. says
recent issue of the Carson City News
At Sheriff Stern's direction Watson
was placed under arrest by the sheriff
of White Pine county and held until
the arrival Of the Ormsby county Of
fetal. When taken. into custody Wat
son had the stolen car and was ac-
tompaned by J. Irby. The latter
was released, however, as he had moth
ing to do with the theft having been
picked up at Austin. by Watson.
Watson is now in the state prison
awaiting disposition of his case by the
authorities. His surroundings are
no doubt familiar to him, as he was re-
leased from the prison OH parole on the
twentieth OF August, only eleven days
before stealing the automobile. He
was sent to the prison to serve sem
tence for forgery committed in Lyon
county. After he was paroled, Wat
Jon went to Yerington but soon drifted
along to Reno. Then he came to
Carson City and started east i'll the
machine which had been left standing
on the street all night because the man
in charge had difficulty ID starting the
engine.
The stolen car belonged in Fallon.
Watson passed through that city and
was on application to business men
given directions and information about
the road leading eastward. The ma
chine was not at that time recognized
in Fallon.

FORD'S WEALTH PUT
AT GOA nm M


DETROIT, Sept. S-Payment of its
state property tax today by the Ford
Motor company revealed that Henry
Ford is on the way 10 become the rich
est man in the world. His taxable
property, as stated in his returns,
amounts to $263, 3oS,l9o, but Detroit
bankers point out that these arc only
tangible assets and his real wealth will
probably far exceed that figure.
Some bankers say that Ford is worth
more than $750O00,0CO when the good
will and name of the Ford company
are taken into consideration. Ford
himself has said that he does not know
how mitch he is worth and he does not
care.
The statement filed in Lansing said
that on June Sd the Ford company had
S54,S44,53S i'll cash in hand or i'll bank
Plants, buildings and improvements
were valued at $4o,o26,C clio. and machin
cry and equipment at $21, lS3,oo0, while
the good will of the company was set
at $20.517,oS5. This last is considered
low. Property i'll Michigan was Waited
at $133,025,07o. Total capital and SUR
plus were put at $l7S,o5l,l72 and the
amount in capital and surplus held i'll
Michigan at $e7,SS1 ,2S4.
On these holdings the company sent
the state check for $4,000, the maxi
mum payment i'll Michigan, for the
Iron Land and Lumber company, the

company. the Dearborn independent

hold however, that Ford will have to
pay $4,000 on the motor company

holdings.
