"Hall of Harvard" Boards
Detective "Line-Up" Cool
and Naughty.

Before the hardest-boiled audience
in the world-the detectives assembled
for the Lineup" at Police Headquar-
ters-a person calling himself Walter
Hall aroused reluctant admiration to-
day. Mr., Hall, leaning on a cane that
might have been Zulu chiefs war
club, had a ratncoat draped over his
slender form and heavy fur overcoat
hung on his arm. In delicate accents
he asserted that It was IAN outrage to
subject any gentleman to such a gro
tesque ordeal"
Detectives Fitzsimmons and Love
said that when they called on Mr.. Hall
at No. $50 West 177th Street and told
him ho was wanted for obtaining a
quantity Of jewelry from John Pyms
Of No. 5S2 Fifth Avenue with a bad
check for $500 he greeted them
haughtily and said, Cease to annoy
me; shall merely give you another
check" but became almost hysterical
when they insisted on taking him Ia
Police Headquarters.
Mr.. Hall said that he was the editor
of several publications devoted to the
sports of the wealthy and had a "little
place on Long Island" He was a
Harvard graduate of 1905. he said,
and had amused himself las an in

OF cruel curiosity one of the detec-
tives communicated with a friend
with access to a collection OF Harvard

in them of a Walter Hall in the year

Mr.. Pyms said that Nov. 10 an ex.

CITY TAKES OVER
TWO FERRY LINES
OF UNION COMPANY
Atlantic and Hamilton Ave-
nue. Boats to Be Operated
by Municipality.
FIVE-CENT FARE FIXED.
Refusal of Company to
Obey Orders Causes Can
collation. of Permit.

Commissioner Grover A. Whalen of
the Department Of Plant and Struc-
lures announced to-day that at mid
night on Saturday the city would take
over the Atlantic and Hamilton AV-
enue ferries Of the Union Ferry Com
pany and operate them as municipal
FERRY lines. In an announcement by
the Commissioner he gives as his
reason the fact that the lines three
times have increased fares and rates
for traffic and have ignored orders Of
tho city to reduce them.
Tbc specific reason ascribed by the
commissioner in letter sent TO the
Union Ierry Company, under date Of
Dec l., is that the company refused
to comply. with orders of the city re-
curing the transfer of the two ferry
lines from their present terminal at
tho foot of Whitehall Street to the
municipal ferry terminal at South
Street, adjoining.
The company would not sell their
nine boats to the city at the city's
price, after an appraisal had been
made, so now Commissioner Whalen
announced that the lines will be run
with other boats, and the employees
of the ferry line will he taken into
city employ. Tho passenger fare will
be reduced to cents and vehicle
rates will be reduced to conform to
the standard on municipal ferries.
In his letter to the Union Ferry
Company, tho Commissioner said:
'I beg to acknowledge receipt OF
advice from you that you decline TO
comply with the orders issued by me-
to you under date of December t.
1922, requiring tho transfer OF the
operation of tho Atlantic Avenue and
Hamilton Avenue ferries from the
present terminal at the foot Of White
hall Street, Manhattan, to the NUM-
Cipal Ferry Terminal adjoining in
South Street.
I'm Wow of this action on your
part, this Department will take over
tho operation of tho Atlantic Avenue
and Hamilton Avenue Ferry Lines at
1901 A. NJ. Sunday, Dec. IT, 1922
"Accordingly, tho revocablo permit
issued by mo 10 you under date of
March II, 1922, for the occupation by
you Of tho ferry terminal properties
at tho foot Of Atlantic Avenue, and
at tho foot Of Hamilton Avenue,
Brooklyn is hereby revoked and can

Tho municipalizatiou Of these fer
ries was urged by civic organizations
Of Brooklyn in April, 1913, and at a

President OF tho Board of Aldermen,

dents complained of excessive fares

County Detective Ellis II. Parker
said this to-day to an Evening World
reporter as the Brunen trial was ad-

The statement followed a demon

the court room for tho jail. hand
cuffed TO a Deputy sheriff.
Just as Mohr passed the end OF his
counscl's table he came face to face
with Hazel Brunon, daughter OF The
murdered Snowman. She had arisen
from bench, where she had been sIt-

fessed slayer Of her father. As she
adjusted bit of fur about her neck,
Mohr leaned toward her and flung at
her an epithct,
The girl recoiled at tho coarsenasS
OF 1t and the Deputy Sheriff instantly
clapped his hand over Mohr's mouth
and hustled him toward the door lead

The police are looking for Dominick

The woman's forehead on the right
side had been crushed by u heavy

her throat savagely cut in such a
manner as TO sever the jugular vein

nat, and DR.. Ernest NJ. Vaughn OF
the District Attorneys office eX-
presses the belief that tho murder
occurred about the time that mother

"ttrst--All the powers should reach
at once a definite agreement as to the
amount Of reparations Germany should
pay annually. Americas economic ex-
pcrts believe $500. 900. 900 is the limit
OF Germanys ability and that ap-
|proximstely twelve billions Is the total
sum that Germany can and should be
made to pay. France should be will
ing to agree to renounce her claim 10
any sum above that.
Second-Once the reparation sum is
tlxeC the world will be ready TO con-
slider an international loan. such as
was proposed by the international
Bankers Committee meeting a year
ago, which J. +. Morgan and other
Iflnanciers attended. This loan would
not necessarily require the guarantee
Of Governments but would need the
assent Of the Allied Powers TO regard
II as n prior lien on Germany's assets.
Thlrd-Such IA ] oan would assist
Germany in tho purchase OF food
stuffs and would tend to raise the
value OF the German mark and thus
keep German capital to Germany for
self development instead OF outside
Germany in the investment markets
of the world. The United States Gov
crnmcnt wouldn't subscribe to the
loan, but tho American investor
would have the same opportunity to
buy the reparation bonds at a good
rate OF interest as he has TO buy other
foreign securities. The value of such
loan, however. would be enhanced
through tho moral support of Amer
lea and particularly through such
| contribution as the United States may
| mako to tho easing OF Europe's bur
dena through the postponement or
cancellation of interest on the Allied
war debt.
Fourth.-Cancellatlo OF the interest
would never be proposed without
something in return, namely, assur-
ancos that Europe would make real
| effort TO pay the principal OF the ten
billion dollar war debt, and the only
assurance which would be convincing
here would be a reduction OF land
armament. The American Govern
ment cannot ignore the fact that there
are from three 10 four million under
| arms on the continent Of Europe, and
that 95 per cent. are troops OF the
Allied powers Reduction OF iaSi
| armament means more money avail
| able for productive purposes and more
for the meeting OF payments on the
principal Of the war debt.
As for cancellation OF the principal,
no doubt exists here that a steady
| propaganda has been conducted by
/ Europeans to impress America with
the need for remitting the allied va
debt, as a means Of adjusting the
reparatiou problem. But the matter
| Of reparations and the war debt OF
the Allies are TO be treated separate
ly and the American Government
hopes that Europe by this time is rid
Of the illusion of cancellation.
American sentiment. 1t is pointed
out by officials, would not permit II
| and the most that can be foreseen
is a willingness on tho part OF the
people to continue to forego the in
terest as they have been doing since
| the armistlce. Some OF the nations
OF Europe-one or two Of the smaller
ones particularly-can In a few years
begin paying their interest and prin-
cipal. Some cannot.
