Big Paper Company Goes
Into Hands of Receiver

An involuntary petition in bankruptcy
was fled yesterday against the Gatti-
McQuade Company, producers Of paper
pulp and other paper products, with
Offices at 200 Fifth Avenue. The petit
ton alleges that liabilities are ST.
100000 and estimated assets at $780,
600. John B. Johnston, 100 Broadway,
was appointed receiver by Federal
Judge Manton, with bond of $4,000.
The petition accompanying the order
for a receiver recites that the Gatti-
McQuade firm is a New Jersey corpora
tion, but that it has conducted its busi-
ness from the Fifth Avenue offices and
that the company has property in New
Jersey and this state, outside the juris-
diction OF the court.
The petitioners allege that some six
or seven months ago the company called
a meeting of creditors and that COM
m ittee was formed which thereafter
conducted the affairs of the company.
For this reason the petitioners believe
the corporation is insolvent and will be
unable to continue business.
The petitioners were: Samuel H.
Waldstein, with claim of S572; Cat
ton & Knight Manufacturing Company,
$40, and w. G. Jones Company, $11,205.

saying that Little and Waring were
under indictment and that they prob

cept bail, in view of possible extradi-
tion proceedings. bail arrangements
were finally made yesterday with Mag

Sykes & Co., 25 Beaver Street, which
failed on Thursday. Investors who
lost their money told their stories yes

little money and who tried to invest
it profirably.

Warrant Delay
Erom The Tributes Washinoton Buret

From The Tribume's Washington BureGn
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-P President
Harding was asked to-day in a; letter
from the Joint Amnesty Committee to
direct the Department of Justice to
speed up its review of the cases of
seventy-five war prisoners now serving
sentences for conviction under the
free speech section Of the espionage
law. The letter, In part, said:
"The extraordinary delay in feview-
ing these cases has been explained at
the Department. of Justice by state
,nents to the effect that, in view of the
strike conditions, the psychological
situation was bad. We beg to point
out that these cases have no, relation
whatever to current Industrial Difficult
ties, and we can see no basis in law or
in logic for thus delaying the recon, !
sideration of cases of mem, convicted
in large groups under conditions OF ex-
ceptional wartime stress, who are
serving terms Of ten and twenty en- Z. years = yeat :
which has been imperative for eighteen

Grand Jury to
Quiz Hir.sllfield
About Markets
Commissioners of Accounts
Calls Inquiry Political;
Says He Will Not Waive
Immunity for Ruston
Move TO Re dmce Fees
O'Malley's Handling of the
Street Peddlers Said To
Be Illegal and Oppressive

Commissioner of Accounts Hirshfield
was subpenaed yesterday to appear be-
fore the Kings County Grand Jury on
Monday in connection with District At
torney Ruston's investigation into the
Department Of Markets.
In the expectation that he would be
asked to waive immunity the Commits
sioner said yesterday that he would
stand on his constitutional rights and
not waive immunity from prosecution.
The grand jury is expected to be ready
tc hand down its report and recon-
mendations by Tuesday or Wednesday
Of next week, with some sensational
findings.
In the mean time the pushcart ped
dlers of Manhattan and Brooklyn are
gathering their forces for vigorous
effort to have their fees reduced. now
that the Board of Estimate and Ap-
portionment has refused to burden
them with the army of laborers, sweep
ers and other so-called workers upon
whom the supervisors blamed most
OF their expense, With half the num-
ber OF laborers to be supported taken
Off their shoulders, they argue that
there is no good reason why the week
ly fee of 81 paid by the vender should
not be reduced by half.
Seeks to Cut Fees
Charles H. Levy, counsel for the
Brooklyn venders, and Solomon Suffrin,
attorney for the Manhattan peddlers,
insist that if Commissioner O'Malley
does not soon make some move in this
direction strong effort will be made
to have legislative commission ap-
pointed to study the cost of street
market administration and fix rea-
sonable fee on the basis thereof.
They say that the present fee of
$52 year is grossly burdensome and
entirely unnecessary, and that if the
street markets are established for the
purpose of providing cheap food for
the poorer part of the community
there is no reason why the tax on
the yender should be prohibitive. They
hope, too, that the civil service system
OF appointing supervisors will elimi-
nate the myriad methods of petty
graft that have been plague to the
pushcart men up to now.
Burden on Vehicle Owners
Mr.. Levy expressed amazement at
the fact that the supervisors, under in
structions from Commissioner O'Mal-
ley, ara collecting 81 week from
horse-drawn vehicles, when the statute
expressly says that not more than 81
can be collected from vehicles. There
were intimations that the horse-drawn
vehicle owners are planning to offer
united front on this point and re-
fuse to pay the extra dollar. "If there
are any local ordinances on this
point" commented Mr.. Levy, "they
are in clear violation of the state law
and are void.''
In announcing that he had been sub
ponaed, Commissioner Hirshfield said :
This is political investigation, and
| am satisfied it is being conducted
solely for political reasons and to dis
credit the Hylan administration. Dis
trict. Attorney Ruston is hostile to the
administration and to me personally,
and | am satisfied that the inyestiga-
tior by the grand jury will not be. fai,."

100000 Added
To Part Time
In School Year
Overcrowded Condition Is
Much Greater Than i'm
Last Term, and High
Schools Are amp e d
Total Reaches 937,78O
Brooklyn Leads All Bor-
oughs in Registration
of Elementary Glasses

Registration figures of the New
York public school system reveal an in
crease in the number Of pupils on part
time of 40,612 over the enrolment of
last year. The Board of Education
confirmed yesterday the report that
the overcrowded condition of the
schools is greater than in the 1922
terms.
The report shows that this increase
is due in most part to the unprece-
dented registration in the high schools,
which have total enrolment this year
of 104,2S9, as against SS,172 at this
time last year, an increase of 1917.
The total registration this year, in
cluding the elementary, training and
vocational schools, is 937,7SO, which is
an increase of 2s,122.
Of the increase of 40,612 pupils on
part time, 35,983 are in the high
schools, which, have total number on
part time this year of 69,213, as
against 33,230 in September, 1921. The
increase in part time pupils in the
elementary schools is 1929.
Brooklyn this year leads all other
boroughs in the registration of ele-
mentary school pupils, having total
of 323,143. The registration in the
elementary schools in the otner bor-
oughs is as follows: Manhattan, 1885,
9S8; the Bronx, 119078; Queens, 49,
358; Richmond, 10000, making a total
of s27,526. The total last year was
816,399, or 11,127 less than this year.
The increase in the registration in the
training and vocational schools is s78.
The only figures to show a decrease
this year are those of the registration
in the elementary schools in Manhat-
tan and the number of part-tme stu
dens in the. elementary schools of man
haitian and the Bronx. In Manhattan
the decrease in registration is 1854
out of total of 2s6,938. In part-time
pupils there are 1869, making a de-
crease Of 2,167. In the Bronx there
are s,ea3 pupils on part time which
is decrease of 6,454.
The remarkable increase, both in
registration and in the number of
pupils forced to go on part time in the
high schools, reveals the most serious
condition in history. Several of these
schools have been forced to stop
registration in some of their classes
and number of the pupils have to
stand for at least one period day.

Croker's Widow Insists
Son May Visit Grave
Special Gable to The Tribune

Copyright. 1922 New York Tribune INC.
DUBLIN. Sept. lathe report that
Richard Croker jr. will not be permit
ted to see his fathers grave on his
visit to Dublin was vigorously denied
to-day by Joseph sMacDonagh, repre-
senting the Tammany leaders widow,
who announced that if Richard jr.
really wished to view the grave he
would arrange the visit.
According to MacDonagh, there will
be no probate proceedings to contest
the Croker will in Ireland, as all the
property here belonged to Mrs. Croker
longer than the statutory period re-
CURED before Croker's death. Mac
Donagh expressed the opinion that the
will relating to New York property
could not be broken, as there is ade-
quate evidence of Mr.. Croker's inten-
tions to prevent any misunderstanding
in the willis terms of what he desired.
