Progress of Ship Board
Is Outlined by Lasker
Senator Likely to Drop Inqui-
ries in Fear of Aiding For
eign Competing Lines

From The Trtbunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov 16.-Chairman
A. D. Lasker, of the Shipping Board,
continued his testimony before a Joint
meeting of the Senate Committee on
Commerce and the House Committee
on Merchant Marine and Fisheries to-
night. going over the progress made
thus far by the new organization. To-
nights meeting gave the Shipping
Board chairman further opportunity to
enlighten the committeeman on many
of the points on which Congress has
sought information.
The Shipping Board chairman takes
the position that the governments
shipping agency is depa rtment of the
Federal establishment over which Con-
gress has considerable control. He in
formed the committee members to-
night fully on present conditions of
the American merchant marine and of
the hopes of the Shipping Board and
the Emergency Fleet Corporation in
improving conditions.
The appearance of Chairman Lasker
before the committees is expected TO be
followed by decision by the commit
tees not to press the resolutions call
ing upon the Shipping Board for GER
tain information, on the theory that
the information sought would be of
immense value to competitors of Amer
lean shipping men and would be of no
aid in bettering conditions of the
American merchant marine.

Avenue, Ozone Park, pleaded not guilty
Yesterday on arraignment before Judge
Burt j. Humphrey in Queens County
Court.
William Mcclure, counsel for the de-
Tense, told Judge Humphrey he would
offer complete alibi both for Miss
Human and Labasci. He said there
were forty witnesses to the fact that
on the night Garbe is alleged to have
been decoyed by Miss Human to
Woodhaven Avenue and Rockaway
Road, where he was slain, the Young
woman and Labasci went direct from
MISS humans home to dance hall
a., at myrtle and knlckerbocker avenues.
Ihey remained there, according to
counsel. until Miss Humann's father
telephoned that her mother was ill. Es-
corted by Labasci, she then returned
directly to her home. On their arrival
they were arrested, charged with
Garbe's Staying.
trial of the case was set for Novem-
Der %, Assistant District Attorney
Henry Vollmer asking delay. because
of information he had received during
the preceding twenty-four hours. Mr..
Mcclure argued for an immediate
hearing, declaring the detention of
Miss Human and Labasci to be an
outrage on Justice
The police assert that Garbe before
his death in Jamaica Hospital charged
Miss Human with having lured him
to the spot where he was shot and
Labasci with having shot him.

1900 Visit Closed
Car Show During
Evening Program
Forty-fivc Dealers Declare
Number of Sales Indicates
the Automobile Business
Is Rapidly Growing

The Closed Car Show of the New
York Automobile Dealers Association
at the 18th Regiment Armory, Colum-
bus Avenue and Sixty Street,
is attracting increasingly large crowds
each night. Yesterdays program
brought out a representative attend
ance of World War veterans, as we'll as
large delegation from the National
Hotel Mems Association, which organ
ization is holding it's annual conven-
tion here. In addition, many delegates
to the American Road Builders Asso-
citation meeting visited the show. The
management reported it's largest pat
ronage last night, when from $3.50 to
II o'clock, the hour of closing, more
than 5000 persons inspected the 200
late model automobiles on display in
the armory
The results OF the show are begin
ing to make themselves apparent to
the forty-fve or more dealers who
have gone to the trouble of introduc-
ing their 1922 closed car models to
the New York public we'll in advance
of the National Automobile Show,
which is held IN January. They were
unanimous yesterday in asserting that
the demand for closed cars this year is
far in excess of that of any previous
year
This, they say. is due largely to the
comparative newness of the closed car
and the realization. by inspection of
the cars on exhibit, that they offer
comforts and conveniences for year
round motoring heretofore not popu-
larly known. The number of sales al
ready made at the show indicates, ac-
cording to Charles H. Larsen, chair
man, that not only will the automobile
business be much better next year
than last, but that business in general
is showing gradual improvement,
which will make for a normal produc-
tlon soon in all lines of manufacture.
To-day will be Society Day at the
show, when many of the city's social
leaders will desert the Horse Show for
the afternoon or evening in order to
inspect the dealers latest offerings
Automobiles ranging in price from
1895 to $4,000 are on display

up for final proof in Surrogate's Court,
White Plains, N. Y, November 20, it

Evans probably will file her claim to
part of the Hanna fortune at that time
Her claim is based upon marginal
notations in the will which would have
given her the Hanna estate in Water
town, N. Y, motor cars and horses and
an income of $4,000 a year. These
provisions, made in her behalr as
Hanna's fiancee, were cancelled by an
other marginal notation and blotted
with ink, but the canceIling notation
was not witnessed, while the others
were.
Miss Evans consulted yesterday with
her attorney, Leslie C. Ferguson. of
10 William Street, but made no state
ment concerning her intentions re-
garding the Hanna will. She lives
with her mother at 157 West Fifty

Untern'yer Urges Action
10 Guard City's Interests
Pointing to 'Do-Nothing' Policy
Of Hylan, Asks Citizens Com.
mittee for Transit Hour:.

oaihng attention to the "do-nothinp,'
policy OF the Hylnn administration.
Samuel Untermyer yesterday sent a
le'ter to the Merchants Association
the City Club and the Citizens Union
suggesting that they appoint a Joint
committee to look after the citv,s in
terests in the investigation Of the
Transit Commission.
MI. untermyer reiterated his beliaf
expressed in the election campairn
that the plan of the commission would
inevitably result in higher fare than
hve cents in spite OF the commissions
announced effort to keep the fare at
that figure.
"Now tnat the brazen camouf7asa and
taise pretenses," said Mr.. Untermver's
letter, ION this question of a five-ccnt
rare, by which the voters were grossly
mlsied, have resulted in new lease Of
power to the present city administra-
ton, its 'do-nothing' policy, which is
mainly accountable for our present
predlcament, is likely to continue We
must look elsewhere for the protection
we should be receiving from our city
officials. We cannot afford, as the city
is apparently determined to do, to
stake everything upon the remote and
unlikely contingency that the law
under which the commission was
created will be declared unconstitu-
tional
My suggestion is that each of you
appoint three members to committee.
whose duty 1t shall be to look after
this situation, with such cooperation
as 1t may be possible to secure from
the city authorities. Among other
things that should be done as soon as
the Legislature convenes is to secure
important amendments to the law.
These amendments should give to the
city standing in the present investi-
cation without prejudice to the cty's
right to challenge the onstitutionality
of the law"

Both George McAneny, chairman Of

as means Of temporary relief and

On the question of junking the sur

the development of both surface and
elevated lines had remained compare
lively stationary as compared with the
subways they were continuing to carry
large proportion of the traffic. If the
suggestion to junk the surface lines
were carried out, said the engineer, it
would affect more than 100000, 900 pas

marked that any change in surface
facilities would affect 1000, ,000, 900 pas

taken from reports of the Manhattan
companies were offered to show the
