In parting with 1t for a tip she had
condemned herself to walk two miles

DIR. Royal S. Copeland, Health Com
missioner, who showed on Monday that
mortality In New York city from in
fluenza and other respiratory diseases
had been on the increase, warned the
people of the city yesterday against a
possible epidemic OF FLU. He said:
Influenza is the chief thing in the
disease line that the people cf New
York at present have to fear. Bluntly,
the figures before me to-day are the
largest known to the department since
the subsistence of the epidemic of 1919
1920.
''The actual number of cases now on
record is 225, this figure being inclusive
of both pneumonia and the so-called
flu which it Is almost impossible to
dissociate TO separate headings. Every
possible precaution should be taken right
now by the citizens of New York to pre-
vent a recurrence of the disastrous con-
ditionS prevailing then. If indeed not

months in 1915 just before and after he
made his will. She insisted he was
changed greatly then from the resolute,
clear minded person she had always
known him to be.
What especially impressed her about
the change in Emo was that he lost sud-

standards about his duties as "A host

SURETY FIRM QUITS
BAIL BOND BUSINESS
Fidelity and Casualty Head
Says More Will Desert I'm
savory' Field.

Robert ]. Hllas, president of the
Fidelity and Casualty Company, an
nounced yesterday that his concern had
Withdrawn completely from tho bail
bond business, and from now on would
not write another bail bond for any
person accused of crime. At least
two of the remaining six companies
which do this sort OF business soon will
follow the lead of the Fidelity and
Casualty, said Mr. Hillas, adding:
I'VE got disgusted with this branch
of the business many months ago. not
as the result of any campaign or of any
publicity, but because we felt that the
business for the most part was un-
savory and disreputable and dirty
1--WE couldn't tell down here whether
the money that came in was tainted or
not tainted, whether it was honest or
dishonest. Furthermore, it threw our
organization here at 92 Liberty street
into contact with & class of customers
that We're not desirable"
Mr.. llillas said that in January 1871
he and the head Of h:s company's bond
ing depa rtment talked over the bail
bond question with William A. McQuaid
Assistant District Attorney, who was
then conducting the bail bond inquiry
MI. Hillas said he told the District At
torney that his company was willing to
withdraw from the bail bond business
Because of its unsavory character and
small profit. Mr.. IIillas continued:
Mr.. McCuaid told me then that it
would be unfortunate If the companies
stopped issuing bail bonds. as il would
result in many of those arrested for
crime having to spend considerable time
in Jail, and would so crowd the jails
that they would be altogether inadequate
to handle the prisoners
In June. last year, the Fidelity cam
cellcd many agency contracts and in
structed the remaining agents to bond
no second offenders or persons accused
of certain crimes. Even with these limi-
tations. the company found it practically
impossible to operate as IL desired. MIR.
Hillas said that even IL further restric-
tions are imposed by law de doubted Ii
his company would resume issuing bail
bonds.

lam Dempsey of the ParlSville station,

that Steele and Dempsey were drunk

felle had tried to escape. and had re-
sisted arrest and that they had been
compelled to hit him.

two detectives. Edward Cooper, Assist

BAKERS MAY STRIKE,
PROTESTING WAGE CUT
Union Secretary Says 5000
viii Accept No Compromise.

4 strike of 5000 bakers in New York
and New Jersey in opposition to q
wage cut was threatened last night by
August Burkhardt general secretary of
the international Workers of the ANAL
gamated Food Industries. The bakers
unions, he said, believe that wages arc
so low now that they cannot stand a
further reduction.
"The employing bakers of Brooklyn
said Mr.. Burkhardt, have just proposed
"A reduction of 81 a week for the bakers.
Similar action has been taken by the
employers in Manhattan, The Bronx.
Long Island City and Jersey City. The
bakers will oppose the wage cut as
one man and the committees which are
to meet the bosses next week will in
form them of that decision. There will
be no receding on the part of the unions
from their position opposing a wage
reduction. and there will be no compro-

CRIME BOOSTS COST

Each Express Company Wagon
Has to Have Guard.
TESTIMONY GIVEN p. S. G..
Baggage Transfer Done in
Philadelphia for Use. That
Costs $1.25 i'm N. Y.
TESTIMONY GIVEN P. S. G.

The reason travellers pay baggage
companies in New York S125 to deliver
trunk, but pay only rs cents in Phila-
delphia. was laid directly at the door
Of the New York Police Department
Yesterday, when the question OF re-
duction of New York rates was up for
hearing before &. Merldith LangstaH.
associate counsel OF the Public Service
Commission.
In plain words, transfer companies in
New York, according to testimony, are
under the necessity of paying $62 a week
for chauffeur 10 drive and helper
to watch each trunk, as n precauton
against robbers and bandits, while Phila-
delphla companies pay only $50 a week
Tor q chauffeur and need no helpers as
Watchmen
The difference between the two fig
ures represents the cost OF crime In New
York to the travelling public. That diff
ference is St2 truck "a week, or 31O
per cent. more >or New York than Phila-
delphia in cost of labor. The cost of
labor was represented as so per cent.
of the total. And that brings the propo-
sition down to crime in New York being
responsible for boost OF approximately
161 per cent. in the cost of hauling
trunks here.
The foregoing was set forth by Sam
uel w. Il. Draper, president and general
manager Of the New York Transfer
Company as a witness. 1t was elected
by the following question from Samuel
Blumbcrg, representing the National
Council OF Travelling Statesmen:
why not operate the trucks in New
York without helpers, as they do in Phil
adelphia?"
Conditions in New York are differ
cnt." Mr.. Draper replied. You can
leave a wagon or truck on the streets
OF Philadelphia with some security"
When the laughter subsided, Mr..
Blumberg asked whether a watchman
rather than a helper is the need of
New York baggage truck, and Mr..
Draper said that was the case.
w. II. Connel, representing the Mer
charts Association. suggested the use
of a Gagged truck. dispensing with the
helper. That brought a protest from
Martin Lacey, secretary of the Interna
tional Brotherhood of TesU1sters. who
said that unemployment was Lad
enough now without throwing the help
ers out of work.
Clarence Lambert, general manager of
Wcstcott's Express. testified that his
company operated at loss until 1921.
when the increased rates vert into ef-
feet. which was virtually similar to the
testimony of Mr.. Draper in that respect,
except that the loss period of Mr..
Draper's concern was not so long as
that of the Westcott. At no time, said
Mr. Draper. has his corcern made more
than per cent. on its 100000 invest
ment. Much documentary evidence was
filed The hearing will be resumed Mon
day.
