Crowd and Intruder Fights

Robert Williams, twenty-five years

by Patrolman Patrick O'Grady in the
apartment of Miss May Mccarthy on
the third floor of an apartment build
ing at SIT East Fifty-sixth Street. af-
ter he had fought the patrolman for
fifteen minutes. Williams was locked
up at the East Fifty-frst Street sta
ton, charged with burglary.
Miss Mccarthy, who occupies the
apartment alone, returned from an er-
rand in the neighborhood shortly be-
fore o'clock and passed through the
front rooms to the kitchen. Arriving
there she heard slight noise in the
bedroom and investigating found the

Allocated Ship
Recall Plan Is
Called Unfair
New York Operators Say
That Senator Kings Pro-
posal Would Work Hard.
ship on Some Concerns
Alternative Also Opposed
Objections Raised Against
Plan to Have Board
Officials Run Vessels

Two plans were being discussed
along Shipping Row esterday for the
solution Of the problem of the allo-
Gated Shipping Board vessels. The sue-
gestion made by Senator King, Of U.an,
on the floor of the Senate that Albert
D. Lasker, chairman oe The United
States Shipping Board, should tie up
all allocated craft because the con-
tracts were vicious and corrupt did
not meet with the Endorsement of lead
ing ship operators generally
This plan, it was pointed out. has
been discussed on various occasions bv
the board, but the realization of the
hardship it would work on bona fde
companies and their personnel is be-
lleved to have resulted in Its rejection.
The other plan discussed was to re-
call all allocated ships now in commits
sion and place them under charge of
the vice presidents of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, J. Barstow Smull,
W. J. Live and A. J. Frey These
officials are experienced in ship oper-
alton and they could run the vessels
for the government, selling ships and
trade routes gradually to private oper-
ators.
But this course also would be OBJ
jectionable and detrimental to the es-
tablishment of an American merchant
marine, according to those best author
lied to speak, because Of the long delay
involved in placing it into effect BY
this method it would take months to
install a sufficient number of ships
with crews, stores, cargoes, etc, to
give the present operators of Shipping
Board vessels a fair chance with op-
orators who own their own boats.
One of the biggest operators said
yesterday that the 5 per cent commits
sion allowed by the board for running
an allocated ship was not all profit, as
Office salaries had to be paid from the
sum as we'll as overhead charges.
Sale to Foreigners
The allocated plan, it was said, is
particularly undesirable at the present
time, for the simple reason that there
is a dearth of trade, yet it is the only
solution under existing conditions TO
keep the American flag flying until
bare boat charter or the sale Of the
ships can be put into universal prac-
tice.
There is little doubt that foreign
governments or foreign private in
terests will be permitted to purchase
Shipping Board vessels after it has
been made plain that Americans have
bought or chartered all they desired.
There is every indication, it is be-
lieved by ship operators, that this
course will be adopted rather than
the course Of scrapping the ships that
are not sold This should be true of
the Lake" boat and other types so
great in number that they could not
be operated in full within the next
fifty years, at the end Of which time
they would be worthless

Danger of Infantile
Paralysis Scourgse
Not Serious Here
DIR. Monaghan Says Number
of Cases Is Not Abnormal
for August, and Cooler
Weather Lessons Menace

Assurance that there is little like
lihood of an infantlle paralysis cpl
demic here was given yesterday by DR.
Frank j. Monaghan, acting health COM
missioner during the absence Of DR..
Royal s. Copeland, who is in Canada
Referring to the warning sent out by
the State Department of Health re-
garding an increase in the number of
cases reported in the state, DR.. Monag-
han said the total number up to date
for this month in New York was high
but not abnormal.
So lar 53 cases have been reported
for August, with eight deaths. This
is the heaviest toll since 1915, the year
OF the epidemic, when 1927 cases were
registered for August and more than
1900 tor the year. In 1917 there were
9 cases; in 1918, 33 cases; in 1919
5 cases, and in 1920, 8 cases.
The Health Department is cogni-
zant of slight increase in the number
OF cases in the city," said DR.. Monag
ham,. but we are taking every pre-
caution necessary and there is 10
occasion for alarm. Most of the eases
reported are of comparatively mild
type. In fact, physicians in some
cases have incorrectly diagnosed the
sickness as infantile paralysis. Every
time physician reports a suspected
case we send one of our dagnosticians
to investigate. If his diagnosis does
not agree with that of the family doc
tor, we send our chief diagnostician to
examine it. All cases are being placed
under quarantine"
The acting health commissioner
pointed out that a favorable phase of
the situation was the absence of
grouping" in the cases reported There
Is no concentration at any one point.
The only precauton which could be
taken, he said, was maintenance of a
vigilant lookout for the disease and
immediate isolation when discovered.
"Most of the cases found in the citv
have come in from out of town." said
DR.. Monaghan. "In some cases chill
dren caught the sickness while on their
vacations. The fact that there has
been no grouping of cases, no detect
able transmission Of the disease from
one case to another, leads me to be-
lieve that we will not have serious
epidemic. There is no reason for pub
lie alarm. It will not be long until we
Will be due for spell of cold weather.
and this disease seems to be peculiar
to the hot weather months. If the
public will be vigilant in reporting
cases and careful in obeying the quar-
antlne regulations, the city undoubt
ediy will pass through the year with
disease" ''~

State Mistreating
War Victims, Says
n. Y. County Legion
Radical Changes Demanded
in Care of Wounded in
Hospitals, and Aid for
the Men Seeking Jobs

Resolutions demanding drastic re-
forms in the method of providing for
wounded and disabled veterans and help
for those who left the service in good
health but are without jobs. were
adopted last night by the New York
County organization of the American
Legion, holding its annual convention
in the auditorium of the Washington
Irving High School.
One of the resolutions embodied the
first reply the Legionnaires have made
to the state administration. which
through Governor Miller, had insisted
that the veterans erred when they as
serted that the state was prohting by
caring for disabled soldiers at Manhat-
tan State Hospital.
This resolution declared that
"Whereas, mentally defective 'buddies
had been used as a profit to the state,
and Explanations by state officials had
been unsatisfactory" Congress should
investigate conditions in the hospital $
OF New York and provide for the di-
rect care 0 fveterans under government,
supervision.
Welfare Bureau Here Advocated
Other reforms advocated were the
establishment of a welfare bureau in
greater New York, composed of five
member from each county, which
would look after war destitute in this
Ct =; adoption or the civil service pre-
ferment amendment to be voted on
this fall and granting Of disability
ratings to disabled veterans by the ex-
aminers who test them in the field
not by officials at Washington on evi-
dence forwarded by the examiners
After unanimously indorsing Presi-
dent Harding's call for a conference on
limitation Of armament and calling upon
Congress to maintain the present rate
of navy pay, the DICTIONARIES, without
dissenting voice, voted down resolu-
ton asking the city to rename Herald
Square Legion Square"
1t had been expected that a warm de.
bate would follow The introduction OF
the civil service preferment resolution
but the only opposition came from one
woman, a veteran-nurse.
Several changes were made in tn,
county constitution. In future fifty
members in attendance at a county com.
mittee meeting shall constitute a quorum
instead Of two-thirds Of the total Of
more than two hundred delegates, a:
heretofore. An effort to call county
committee meetings quarterly, instead Of
monthly, was defeated, as we'll as an at
tempt to increase the membership Of
the county executive committee from
twelve to nineteen.

Increase Noted
LIN Construction
Of Dwellings
Building Superintendent Is
OF Opinion New Apart
ments and Homes Will
Help Housing Situation
Wages Still Are High
Explanation Made General
Situation Would Be Bet
tered by Cheaper Labor

decided increase in the construc-
ton OF dwellings and apartment houses
in the Borough of Manhattan so far this
year, compared with the same period OF
1920, is revealed in statistics obtained
yesterday from Rudolph P Miller, Dor
ough Building Superintendent. The
greatest cause for optimism, Mr. Miller
thinks, lies in the fact that for the
first six months of 1920 only ID or Is
per cent of the total number of all
njldings proposed actually were. started
IN that period, while in the same period
OF this year rs per cent of the struc-
lures are being built.
The increase, Mr.. Miller says, is due
chiefly to the ten-year tax exemption
ordinance, and, while he would offer nc
predictions as to the future, he said the
outlook now was brighter for the build
ing of dwellings, than it had been for
several years.
Housing Relief Coming
Taken as a whole, I can't say there
has been any decided Improvement in
the general building situation" OK
planned the Superintendent of Buildings
"but the important thing right now is
housing relief, and in this we have
every reason to be optimistic. The fact

centage has more than quintupled
shows there is far less delay in general
construction work,
Large operations, such as the con-
struction of office buildings, at present
are quiet"
Mr.. Miller qualified his assertion that
general building operations this year
did not exceed those of the same period
last year by pointing out that in 1920
