tonight.
Ballews prowess with a six shooter

Buck Garrett. under whom Ballew
served as deputy ten years. until
Garrett was ousted from office several
months ago. He was feared among
the outlaws OF the oil fields and cattle
country in the early days.
Ballew was afraid of only ose man
and that was his chief, Buck Garrett.
When Bud went on n rampage Il was
usually Buck Garrett who took away
his guns.

LADY ASTOR LEADER
IN PURE MILK FIGHT
DR.. Copeland Tells How Her
Speech Started London to
Cleaning House.

Lady Astor started the, crusade for
pure milk in London. according TO DE-
Royal s. Copeland, Health Commls-
sioner. who related yesterday how the
little M. p. grew indignant when she
LEARNED of the poor grade being sold
there and made one of her bcst speecnes
before members of the House or COM
mons in the interests or Britain Daples-
Commissioner Copeland told the story
at the spring convention of the New
York City Federation of Women's Ciups
al the Hotel Astor. Out Of twenty-eight
SAMPLES of milk taken from British
diaries n year ago. he said, only one was
fit to be used for cooking purposes IN
New York Now conditions are practi-
calIy the same in England az here.
Last summer when the Commissioner
and Mrs. Copeland and their son OF IL
were In London Royal Copeland. Jr.,
had milk poisoning. Straightway DR..
Copeland went to Sir George Newman,
chief medical officer Of the Ministry OF
Health. The Commissioner told Sir
George exactly what he thought of
London milk, which was to the effect
that an analysis showed every drop OF
II TO contain colon bacilli and 10 per
cent of Il to have tuberculosis germs.
DR.. Copeland continued:
"S,r George asked me IL I would be
willing TO tell Lord Astor. who was
chairman of the Milk Commission under
the Ministry of Health, Just what had
told him. / replied that l would be
willing to tell the King himself. I did
tell Lord Astor. who told Lady Astor.
and in a day or so received an invi-
tation from Lady Astor 10 have lunch
con with them. She asked all about the
milk and was amazed to hear of its i'm
purities and what a menace to health
il was. Later she made thrilling
speech in the House of Commons 10 let
the people know what they were feed
ing their children.
"The result was that England became
so interested in providing pure milk
that after Lady Astors speech big
dairy company sent a representative to
New York to investigate our pasteuri-
zation process and later "A milk engineer
from one of our dairies returned with
him to establish the pasteurization sys-
TEN in Great Britain. There is vast
Improvement since"

DEFIED BY HYLAN
AS BELLS RING, HORNS BLOW

w. G. FulIen. associate counsel of
the Transit Commission, was Kissed
roundly and persistently heckled when
he tried on behalf of the commission
to explain the situation. Mr.. Hubert
and other members of the board vol
leyed him with questions. but as often
as he undertook to speak noisy out
break by the crowd drowned his utter
ance.
Finally Mr.. F'ullen managed 10 read
from the city's contract of nine years
ago. showing that it was elevated con-
struction that had been provided for
in this section. lie added that this
very route. after it had been sub
stituted for another by Transit Con-
struction Commissioner John II. De-
laney at the Mayors behest, had been
approved In writing by both the Board
OF Estimate and Mayor Hylan in June,
1920, elevated extension and all.
The Joslin contract was the only one
on which the Board of Estimate chose
yesterday to make fight. 1t approved
four or five other delayed contracts
which it had reported out last Tuesday.
Hardness Explains situation.
Commenting upon the rejection of ths
Joslin contract by the board. Transit
Commissioner Leroy T. Hardness, said
Despite efforts TO obscure II, the issue
in this case is plain. The Transit Com
mission has no power TO alter this con-
tract, and the Board of Estimate. or
course. is well aware of that fact. in
1919 the city made contract with the
3. r. T. for the construction of the ex
tension of the Fourteenth Street Subway
as an elevated railroad. Later on GER
tain changes in the route were uecessi-
tated. In 1920 the route covered by
Section GA was laid out as an elevated
railroad by Commissioner Delaney, was
approved by the Board Of Estimate and
Apportionment. and received the separate
approval of Mayor Hylan himself The
pians were prepared on the lines origin
ally laid down by Commissioner Delaney,
and when finished were submitted by the
engineers of the commission for ap-
proval
1.-THE question then presented 10 the
Transit Commission was not one OF sub
way or elevated--that question had been
foreclosed. 1t was simply and solely a
question of carrying out the contract
obligation to the city. The contract pro-
vided for an elevated structure over the
Long Island Railroad right of way
'In August, 1921. the commission
wrote Judge Garrison, the receiver of the
B. r. T., asking whether he would con-
sent to a change In contract, so as to
provide for subway instead of an ele-
waited Judge Garrison categorically re-
fused The commission, therefore, did
what II was required to do-followed the
contract requirements and advertised

argument that the elevated would re-

HUBERT HECKLES
M'ANENY AND RYAN
Aldermanic President Gets
New Facts OH Subways at
Transit Film Show.

Murray Hubert. president OF the
Board of Aldermen. undertook last night
tc carry the Board of Estimates fight
against the Transit Commission from
tho City Hall to the Town Hall. in the
neutral territory of West Forty-third
street.
Looking zealously for trouble. he
finally smoked out George McAneny,
chairman OF the Transit Commission,
who was seated among the audience
There were several verbal tlts between
the two much to the amusement of
the crowd that filled the hall Then
Mr.. Hubert sat down amid the laughter
OF the audience, with the apologetic
statement that Mr.. McAneny has been
studying this subject for years, while
| have only had three or four months
of it, but I'm anxious to learn"
Before he resumed his seat the in
quirer had learned several things.
The occasion was the initial showing
In public of the Transit Commission S
educational motion picture entitled
Standing Room Only" by Marie de
Montalvo. sponsored by Leroy II. Hark-
ness, Transit Commissioners, and directed
by Ernest Mas.
Gen. John f. O'Ryan. also a member
of the commission, before the showing
of the picture delivered a talk in ex-
planation OF the plan for unification and
reorganization of the citys transit facili-
ties under municipal ownership. He said
that after the film had been shown
members of the commission or its heads
OF departments would be glad to answer
questions

Paid with Public Money.

Hardly had the lights flashed at the
end OF the picture, which had been
warmly applauded. when a voice cried:
Whose money pays for these pictures?"
Gen. Organ hesitated a moment.
The unknown heckler repeated his ques-
tion. Then the officer who had led the
Twenty-seventh Division in battle
squared his shoulders and answered
frankly: They are paid for by public
money"
"And who authorizes you to spend
it?'' persisted the heckler.
The General replied that the COM
mission had that authority and believed
the money well spent in the interest OF
public education.
One feature of the film showed how
the nickel is consumed without Father
Knickerbocker having any of 1t left
wherewth TO pay the interest on his
investment OF more than $500, 900, 900.
Mr.. Hubert now popped up from the
opposite side of the auditorium and
wanted to know whether Father Knick-
erbocker's failure to get any segment
of the nickel wasn't due to the fact that
under the dual contracts, (which the
present chairman of your commission
Mr.. McAneny as member of the then
| Board Of Estimate, helped to negotiate,
! all the interest money went into the
pockets OF the private capitalists and
| there was none of It left for Father
Knickerbocker."
| 1t was then that Mr.. McAneny stepped
forward from an inconspicuous seat in
the auditorium. He was applauded as
he smilingly remarked TO Gen. O'Ryan:
Perhaps I'd better reply TO that my
self"
Then Mr. McAneny, in such good
natured way that he captivated his
hearers, remarked that he was delighted
TO note Mr.. Hubert's disposition te
learn to to cooperate When the dual
contracts were signed. he explained, the
city simply had to have more subway
facilities. The city didn't have suffi-
cient money to foot the whole bill fol-
subways itself
Had to Pay Interest on Money.
80 Father Knickerbocker," he con-
| tinued, "had to borrow some 1900, ,OV
OF private capital. and in order to get
that, curiously enough, it was neces-
sary to pay interest upon 1t and TO
place the payment of that interest
ahead of the obligation to pay Interest
on the city's investment"
| Had there been no war or other dis
turbing difficulties, Mr.. McAneny de-
clared, both parties would have received
their interest money. The war made
that impossible, but now. under the COM
/ missions plan OF rehabilitation the
roads are expected to earn enough to re-
nay the interest on the city's money.
Mr.. Hubert sneeringly referred TO the
big 90 per cent dividends the /. r. T.
board of directors were permitted to
vote to themselves under these dual con-
| tracts of Mr. McAneny's." He was sur
| nrisad and sat down when Mr. Nc
| Aneny. still unruffled. informed him
that the /. r. T. never had paid any divi-
! dends since the signing of the dual con-
/ tracts in 1913. and that the big ones he
doubtless referred to all sntedated that
year.
"And as to the propriety of those divi-
dend declarations" said Mr.. McAneny,
"the Transit Commission has expressed
itself very clearly"
