To the Editor It seems TO me
that the slogan, Hello, Al" men,
toned in a recent editorial. about
fills the bill and can he used by
all mem bers OF the legion in ex-
changing greetings. I happen TO
be an ex-gob and Hello, buddy"
sounds sort OF strange 10 me, al
though il may be music 10 the
ears OF my doushboy friends. I'm
for any slogon that goes for ev-
erybody in the legion whether
they served on land and sea and

WHALEN AND HUBERT
CLASH IS PREVENTED
HyIan Acts in Mirup on Har-
Dor Jurisdiction.

When Mayor Hylan asked the Sink-
Ing Fund Commission last THURSDAY
to lay over for two weeks the matter
of waterfront and harbor improvement
for ferry purposes It was to prevent a
clash over jurisdiction between Muir
ray Hubert. Commissioner OF Docks,
and Grover A. whalen. Commissioner OF
I lants and Structures. 1t became known
yesterday. Mr.. Whalen stated he had
obtained from the Corporation Counsel
ruling that a legislative act passed
two years ago giving the Department
of Plant and Structures jurisdiction
over ferries took precedence over an
order of Mayor Hylan setting up Com
missioner Hubert as Director OF the
Port with complete jurisdiction over
waterfront improvements.
1t appeared that Commissioner Hull
bert was not aware of Commissioner
Whalen's intentions before the Sinking
Fund Commission and was prepared TO
make q fight when the Mayor inter-
,ened.

Work on Brooklyn-Staten
Island Project to Start
Within Two Years.
ADDS TO PATRONAGE
CLEAR ROAD FOR WHALEN
Mayors Change Of Views
Pointed TO in Support Of His
Plans for Campaign.

Did Mayor Hylan give his approval
to the Smith bill requiring the Board
OF Estimate to start construction on
a tunnel between Brooklyn and Staten
Island within two years. so there
would be an excuse for Grover Whalen,
his chief political adviser, to build up
an extensive staff Of engineers, drafts
men, &c. in the Department OF Plant
and Structures. of which Whalen Is
Commissioner?
That question was being asked yes
terday by those to whom it did not
seem quite inconceivable that Mayor
Hylan might find this amount OF pa
tronage most convenient In year
when he is to run for reelection. To
criticisms OF any increase in the staff
Of Commissioner Whalen the reply
would be that 1t was mandatory.
IL Is variously estimated that the pro-
posed tunnel would cost anywhere from
s2o.00o.0oo to s3o.Ooo.o 900. During the
last three and one-half years Mayor
Hylan has repulsed delegations Of
Staten Islanders pleading for the con-
struction Of a tunnel with the cold, hard
bet that the city was short OF cash
was. in fact. pretty near dead broke. But
It is pointed out that this year, when the
city was never nearer the financial
shoals he accepts on behalf of the city
a bill that makes It necessary for the
Board of Estimate to start construction
on such tunnel within two years This
an spite of the fact that he always has
protested against Albany fastening on
the city mandatory legislation for the
expenditure Of money
When the dual subway system was
planned a rapid transit route to Staten
Island by way Of tunnel from Sixty
fifth stSeet. Bay Ridge, to st. George
was laid out. No steps ever have been
taken to build this line because there
has been no money. So far as could
be learned yesterday the Public Service
Commission or its successor the Tran
sit Construction Commission, never has
gone so far as to make borings.
George McAneny, chairman of the
new Transit Commission, said the tun-
mel bill did not affect the commission.
L
transit route, but laid the duty of build
ing tunnel. the use of which might be
determined later. upon the Board OF
Estimate.
IT will be up to the Board OF Estimate
to find the money. Beyond the amount
OF money II will take to prepare plans
IN the Department OF Plant and Struc-
tures, no contract for the construction
of the tunnel can be let without at once
setting off against the debt margin the
amount required to complete II. As
tunnel contracts are never let In Sec
tions. that would mean a twenty or
thirty million cut from the debt limit
before construction can be started. The
law requi.es such a start within two
years. Those familiar with the financial
affairs OF the city were Inclined last
night TO believe the Board Of Estimate
had or its hands real live pig in
sbke."

STILLMAN HEARING
AGAIN POSTPONED
Date Changed From 10th to
the 25th at Request Of
Counsel for Defence.

The predictions that the Stillman case
will i've throughout the summer re-
ceived support yesterday when It was
announced that the next hearing had
been postponed from next Thursday
until May rs at least.
This gave rise to rumors that Mr..
Stillman had decided to abandon his
divorce suit. But from attorneys on
both sides came the explanation that
tho postponemcnt was at the request
OF George Coggill and John b. Stanch-
field, attorneys for Mrs. Stillman, who
pleaded urgent business that would
prevent them from participating in 4
hearing next week. Mr.. Stanchfield has
business in Mineola on May 19.
Several new rumors were abroad yes
terday. One was tc tho effect that
MIR. Stillman's lawyers were about to
notify the Osteopathic Society that 1t
was in contempt Of court In censuring
DR.. Hugh l.. Russell, of Buffalo, who
testified that Mrs. St,lman admitted to
him that Fred Rcauvais was the father
OF her son Guy.
Another rumor was to the effect that
Mrs. Stillman was inductcd into the
Caughnawaga tribe of the Iroquois ma
tion in 1917. She Is said to have taken
the most binding degree of sisterhood--
the one tnat calls IOr tnC SlaSnlnB OIL the
wrist of the candidate and the kissing of
that slash by the candidates sponsor.
Such a ceremony. 1t is related, binds
the entire tribe to the candidate even
to the extent of rescue at the cost Of
life. Mrs. Stillman is said to have taken
the tribal name of Akwerie-heart
flower.
From Mrs. Stilman's attorneys comes
word that witnesses will testify that DR.
Russell Is mesmerist and hypnotist
and that his mentor In the art of mas
tering opposing wills was Prof. Char
pentier. the French neurolosist and
psychoanalyst. who was successful In
performing major surgical operations
upon persons he first had hypnoti2ed.
At any rate 1t is promised that Dr.
Russell will be cross examined along
these lines in an effort to show that IL
Mrs. Stillman did make such an admis-
sion. and did write the so-called hyster-
ical letter exhibit Al, that she was not
responsible. but that her subconscious
self did the talking and writing In
other words 1t will be contended that
whether Mrs. Stillman wrote the letter
or not. she does not remember II.
