Memorial Offers
Hylan Chance for
Attack ON Curran
Verbal Battles Revived at
Estimate Boards Session
Over Plan for Immediate
Erection of Liberty Altar

For the first time in many weeks.
or since Comptroller Charles l.. Craig
began to absent himself from the meet
ings Of the Board Of Estimate, Mayor
Hylan engaged in another verbal bat
tie at yesterdays meeting with Bor-
ough President Henry H. Curran Be-
fore Deputy Comptroller Henry Smith
began to sit in the Comptroler's place
in the board the Comptroller usually
furnished the incentive for combat be-
tween the members of the board.
The trouble began yesterday over a
communication from Rodman Wana-
maker, chairman Of the Mayors War
Memorial Committee, suggesting the
immediate erection of a reproduction
of the Altar of Liberty on its original
site in Madison Square Park. The res
olution was to refer the matter to the
Park Commissioner of Manhattan, but
between the objections of the Manhat-
tan Borough President and the Deputy
Comptroller it was referred back to
Mr.: Wanamaker and his committee
When the matter came up Mr.. Curran
SAID that he was going to oppose it on
the ground that it was being conducted
with indecent haste and that Mr.. Wan
amaker and the Mayor were the only
ones in favor of it,
The Mayor, pounding on his desk
with his gavel, said:
our remarks referring to me age
unworthy Of reply. They are the same
cncap, political bunk that you have
always had"
ut is apparent" retorted Mr.. Cur
ran, that we nave again to-day the
same kind of talk we used to hear every
Friday in the Board of Estimate"
Deputy Comptroller Smith sided with
the Borough President and declared
that the Comptroller believes that
there should be one of the greatest
war memorials erected in the country.
but he doesn't think this is a proper
memorial or a proper place to erect it,
and that before anything is done there
should be more public hearings and the
matter referred to art societies."
The Borough President moved to dis
approve the resolution, but the motion
was lost. f. H La Guardia, President
Of the Board of Aldermen, moved the
matter be referred back to Mr.. Wana-
maker, and it was passed
Borough President Curran later is
SIZED statement, in which he said:
Mayor Hylan's indecent haste to
erect at once in Madison Square Park
an altar Of liberty as a preliminary
step to the permanent war memorial is
deliberate desecratioh Of the memory
of our soldier dead Without consult
ing those closest to the men who fought
and fell, without even giving his War
Memorial Committee of Four Hundred
chance to consider the proposition,
Mayor Hylan is striving to rush his pet
plan through before anybody can be
heard. NO soldier has approved this
mem orial.'

The tests were intended to DEM
onstrate to growers and manufac-
turers the suitability OF Meade as a
substitute for Sea Island, the grow
ing Of which has become extremely
hazardous because of the boil
weevil. Meade cotton, q variety de-
veloped by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. is rapidly
taking its place. A comparison of
the two varieties, with special ref
srence, to their spinning qualities.
is contained i'm Department Bulletin
s46, recently published. -
To Beat the Boil weeviI.
The ravages of the boil weevil
have been so sevefe, according to
the bulletin. that the Sea Island
variety may be wiped out within the
next few years. Its annual produc-
tion has been reduced from 92.61s
bales in 1917 to s,s16 bales in 1919.
The Meade cotton, developed during
1912 and subsequent years. has now
been established on a commercial
basis and its future production in
place of Sea Island is believed to be
assured.
Meade cotton is a long staple, up
land variety, producing, under fa-
vorable conditions, a fiber l v inches
long, of fine texture like the Sea
Island. Because its seeds are nearly
smooth, 1t should be handled on
roller gins. The fiber resembles Sea
Island so closely that the two can
not be distinguished except by ex-
perts; and 1t is said that Meade has
been sold on the regular Sea Island
market at Savannah at a premium
over the mainland Sea Island. The
Meade variety natures two or three
weeks earlier. gives a greater pro-
duction of both lint and seed, and
is more easily picked than Sea
Island
In the comparative spinning tests
the cotton of the two varieties was
run under as nearly identical condi-
tions as possible. Averaging the
waste for the three seasons In
which the tests were made. 1t was
found that the Meade cotton was
80 per cent more wasty than, the
Sea Island. Comparing the break
ing strength of the yarns for the
three seasons, a difference of ,17.2
pounds was found in favor of the
Sea Island for the 23's yarn, and 6s
pounds for the zoos yarns. -.
