GAS VALVES BEATEN,
FIRE CHIEF BERATED
Angry Landlords Threaten
Kenl0n for Referring to
High Rentals.
ORDINANCE NOT SIGNED
Mayor Suggests Utility Com
panies Might Pay for Auto
matte Shut-Offs.

AS climax to one of the most dis
orderly hearings ever held in the Board
OF Estimate Chamber. during which
ugly epithets were hurled at Fire Chief
kenlon, Mayor Hylan announced yester-
day afternoon that he would disapprove
the ordinance providing that every
building In the city. with the exception
OF one and two family houses, must be
equipped with an automatic gas shut
off valve.
Some of the small property owners.
who composed the larger part of crowd
of several hundred protestants, sang the
praises of the Mayor in loud voice as
they streamed out of the room after
three hour hearing
Later the Mayor made public this
meporandum sent to the Board of AL
derrnen:
THE principle set forth in this ordi-
nance is good. Everything should be
done to save human life. l am disap-
proving this ordinance SO that the mat
ter may again be taken UP by the Board
or Aldermen, who should give further
study and consideration to so important
a matter to the people of the city and
give consideration to placing the INSTALL
ing Of such a device on the gas COM
panies."
The trouble started when Chief Ken
Ion faced the landlords to plead for the
shut-off to save the lives of his men.
Referring to the protest Of a previous
speaker that the device would cos.
from $50 to $500 and would mean an
outlay Of $45.000.0O0 by the taxpayers.
the Chief said he knew of landlords
getting as high as $50 a room In a
minute there was a roar of anger. The
landlords surged toward the railing
back of which the Chief was speaking.
shaking their fists and hurting all sortc
of insults.
"Liar!" Crook Throw h mout."
Kick the bum down stairs.' were
few OF the mildest of the statements.
When the Mayor had restored order
for a moment Chief Kenlon said the
landlords were thinking of dollars rather
than lives. Firemen were willing to
die like men. but they did not want to
perish like rats. He would not send
them to death in a gas filled building
The effects were not always Immediate
In the last seven years 100 of his men
had died of tuberculosis because OF
gas poisoning.
The Chief denied the cost would be
45 900 and asserted the reduction in
insurance would make good the IN
stallation cost within a few years.
Among the opponents of the ordinance
we're Stewart Browne of the United
Real Estate Owners Association. DIR. III.
w. Bergfof the Greater New York Tax
payers Association. and Charles L.
Haubert. former Alderman.

Given to Him to Hold as
Collateral.

William Horsfall of Cnappaqua. West
chester county. former stock broker at
81 Church street. was convicted of grand
larceny In the first degree yesterday be-
fore Justice Brown in the Supreme
Court He is alleged to have stolen
$4,000 from Paul Wechsler Of "A Prospect

charged he had given the broker tine
81, 900 in AS shares OF Wilcox Gas and
Oil stock as collateral for the purchase
OF 1000 shares Of Home Oil stock. When
Wechsler demanded the purchase he

Mr.. Wintner showed that within two
or three days after the delivery OF tho
collateral to the defendant he had sold

RAND SCHOOL TESTS
LUSK LAW TO-DAY
Hillquit Says Provisions Also
Cover Singing, Swimming
and Brick Laying.

The right of the Rand School OF Social
Science to continue its classes of instruc-
ton in Socialism without a license from
the University Of the State OF New York
Is to be tested in the Appellate Division
to-day. The issue involved between the
State and the American Socialist Society
Is the constitutionality of the Lusk school
license law.
The law. which is the outcome Of the
Lusk legislative committees investiga-
ton OF ! Bolshevism, requires that any
corpora ton. association or society oper-
ating a school shall first obtain a license
from the University of the State of New
York. 1t further provides that no
license shall be granted for the conduct
OF any such school by the State regents
where 1t appears that the instruction
proposed to be given includes teaching
OF the doctrine that organized govern
ments shall be overthrown by force vio-
lence or unlawful means. Conduct OF
such school without license is made
a misdemeanor punishable by fine OF
500 or Imprisonment for sixty days.
Algernon Lee, educational director OF
the Rand School in West Fifteenth street.
agreed with Morris Hillquit. counsel to
the American Socialist Society. that the
only way to test the validity of the law
was TO refuse to apply for license. Mr..
Lee announced hknself ready to be made
a martyr II necessary, and the school ac-
cordingly opened last September without
the license Of the State Board of Regents.
In his brief on the case, which is to
be argued to-day in the Appellate Divi-
sion of the First Department. Mr.. Hill
quit contends that the entire law is un-
constitutional and should be stricken
from the statute books.
Mr.. Hillquit says the scope OF the
statute Is too broad that under its pro-
visions no instruction could be given in
painting singing dancing. skating. swim
ming or sewing. laying brick. setting
type. or in any other handlcraft unless
those offering such instruction should
first obtain a license from the Univer-
sitv OF the State Of New York.
The argument is also made that the
law contravenes Article l.. Section 8. of
the Constitution OF the State of New
York and the Fourteenth Amendment of
the Constitution OF the United States
by depriv!ng persons OF liberty and prop
erty without due process of law. and Ar
tcle T. Section 3. OF the State Constltu-
ton, which provides that every citizen
may freely speak. write and publish his
sentiments on all subjects. being respon-
sible for the abuse OF that right, and
that no law shall be passed to restrain or
abrdge the liberty of speech or of the
press
