NEW POLICE TOWERS
WILL Be BANDIT NET
BY Extension of System Warm
ings Can Be Given to
Halt All Traffic.

DR.. John W. Rarriss, special Deputy
Police Commissioner, originator of the
tower system Of traffic control on Fifth
avenue, has in mind similar system
that would zone the entire business
section OF Manhattan and at the same
time would serve as virtually an escape
proof net for motor bandits. The new
plan, not yet formally proposed, was
revealed yesterday by Mayor Hylan
when the Fifth Avenue Association sub
mitted to the Board of Estimate a pro-
posal to present to the city a series of
signal towers for the avenue OF "an
artistic and permanent character" The
proposal was referred to committee,
tut the Mayor assured the associations
representative the city probably would
be glad to accept the gift.
II understand" said the Mayor, that
DR.. Hafriss has a plan to extend the
tower system throughout the city and
when the new plan is adopted it will be
a zone system, perhaps for miles. Also,
IL anyone perpetrates crime in the
zones when the system is established
a flash can be given that will stop every
car in all the zones, and should the
criminals try to get through the police
will know that something is wrong and
stop them. Any car attempting TO get
out of a zone after q signal is given
would be under suspicion"

COURTS MAY CLASH
OVER TRAVIS'S CASE
Mcintyre in General Sessions
to Act Despite Transfer to
Supreme Tribunal.

A clash between the Court Of Cen
eral Sessions and the Supreme Court
was forecast yesterday when Judge
John r. Mcintyre in General Sessions
took under advlsement a motion for
the dismissal of the indictment against
former State Comptroller Eugene Nj.
Travis and the present Comptroller.
James A. Wendell. The case already
had been transferred to the Supreme
Court on the application of the District
Attorney.
Judge Mcintyre announced that he
spoke for his associates as well as him
self when he said that he was de-
termined to find out whether it is legal
to transfer cases where indictments
have been found from General Sessions
into the Supreme Court merely on the
order of a Supreme Court Justice with
out the consent OF a Judge of General
Sessions.
'+The Court of General Sessions has
equal Jurisdiction witd the Supreme
Court in criminal cases in this county"
said Judge Mcintyre, "yet practice
has grown up that almost amounts to
a scandal in the application for trans
ference of cases. If the District Attor-
ney has any objection to the Judge
VINO is presiding ne promptly applies
to have a case transferred despite the
equal Jurisdiction of the two courts"
Judge Mcintyre recently granted an
inspection of the minutes Of the Grand
Jury which indicted Wendell Travis
and Albert l.. Judson, a bond dealer
The defendants were charged with
grand larceny and with making false
audit in connection with the sale OF
bonds for the State sinking fund. In
q number Of cases in General Sessions
an examination of Grand Jury minutes
has been followed by dismissal of the
indictment. When Judge Mcintyre ruled
permitting such an examination in the
Wendell-Trav case the District
Attorney obtained a transfer or the
case TO the Supreme Court.
Robert 8. Johnstone and Ferdinand
Pecora. Assistant District Attorneys,
protested that General Sessions has no
jurisdiction when j. B. Stanchfield and
Max ID. Steuer, representing Wendell
and Travis, went before Judge McIn-
tyre yesterday arguing for the dis
missal. Johnstone said he would ap-
ply to the Supreme Court for writ
of prohibition to prevent Judge Nc
lntyre from deciding the application
for dismissal. Judge Mcintyre, how
ever. said he would make known his
decision Tuesday.

VOUCHERS HELD UP

Supply Schools and Po-

HINDRANCE is CHARGED
Dust and Slate Said to Have
Been Foisted on the
City as Fuel.

Legislative Investigating Com

Into the Matter.
SUPPLIES PHOTOGRAPHED

Comptroller Charles L. Craig has
held up payment OF s1.200,0oo on con-
tracts for coal supplied the public
schools and police stations OF Man
haitian and Brooklyn last summer and
winter pending investigation of the
terms of the contracts and the man
ner In which those terms were full
filed, the Comptroller admitted yes
terday. He has not completed his in
vestigation and would not discuss the
matter. 1t was understood, however,
that these contracts, in addition to
being looked into by the Comptroller,
Will be submitted to the scrutiny Of
the legislative investigating commit
tee.
The principal objection is reported to
be that the coal was of such inferior
quality that in some instances janitors
of school buildings had to screen it be-
fore 1T could be burned. Large quanti-
ties OF dust and slate are said to have
been foisted upon the city as fuel.
The contracts were made by the De-
partment Of Education and the Police
Department with two large coal com
panies. one in Manhattan and one in
Brooklyn. The Comptroller is reported
to have experienced difficulty in con-
Quoting his examinations on account OF
interference both from the Department
of Education and from one of the coal
companies. Vouchers for only 100000
have been approved by the Comptroller.
Department OF Finance examiners
have looked over large quantities Of the
coal In the schools and the police sta
tions, taken statements from janitors re-
garding its quality. made photographs Of
some of it and taken many samples to
the Department of Finance offices.
The Department of Education is said !
to have stopped the finance investigators |
from making photographs through or
ders to janitors not to permit it. The
reason for the order was that the ex- |
plosion of flashlights constituted fire /
menace. 1t was stated also that the |
Comptroller asked the Department of |
for the reports OF janitors
upon the coal, but was informed that
the reports could not be found.
One of the coal companies Is said to
have refused to allow the Comptroller's |
agents to examine its books and the |
will resor. to a subpoena to
obtain access to the books.
In the same connection IL is under
stood the legislative investigating COM
mittee will take UP the question OF the I
city's coal contracts at about the point |
the Board of Estimate inquiry left off /
last summer. when 1t was revealed that |
the city was paying more for coal than |
any other purchaser on contract in the |
city.

sheep.
But that isn't half OF It. After they
had mauled the sheep all over the lot
and rolled around in the grass and gazed
in wonder at the lions and things in the
zoo. there was a picnic lunch served on
the lawn. This Is what they ate: 1000
sandwiches. It's plates of Ice cream, 800
glasses Of milk, 500 lollypops. 200 each

driven home. And even three-ysar-old
Bunny Snyder, Barren Islands best bad
boy, who has slowed away on the ferry
TO Canarsie ever so many times, was
ready to call II a day.
The party was arranged by Commits
sioner Harman when he learned how
very barren the lives of the Barren
Island kids have been. William III. Eng
lish, James Fl. Post, Charles NJ. Higgins
and william H. Todd Of Brooklyn helped
to defray the expenses.
