Bill After Row
Republicans Charge Hylan's
Tunnel Plan Is Political
Project Only, but Are
Overridden by Tammany
Covers Preliminary Cost
Board Also Gives 500, 600
to Police Department for
More Motor Equipment

The Board of Aldermen had stormy
session yesterday, the first sunny day
IN weeks. The resolution proposed by
Mayor Hylan at a recent meeting of
the Board of Estimate and adopted,
calling for the appropriation of s5so,ooo
for the preliminary expenses in con-
nection with the construction Of the
municipal passenger and freight tunnel
between Brooklyn and Staten Island,
was the storm center. The Repub-
lican members opposed the appropria-
tion to a finish, but the Tammany
majority OVERRIDE them and the money
was granted.
Discussion OF the resolution gave
Murray Hubert, President of the Board
Of Aldermen, and other Tammany
members an opportunity to attack
Governor Miller, the Legislature and
the Port Authority. Alderman Jacob
w. Friedman, minority leader, and
Bruce M. Falconer led the Republican
opposition. They accused the Mayor
of playing politics with the municipal
tunnel proposition. They declared the
railroads were not in favor of it and
would not provide connections for the
city tunnel, which would never be a
successful venture. Alderman Fried
man said that the state and city off,
Gals should confer with one another.
Hubert Talks From Floor
Hubert left the rostrum and spoke
from the floor in reply to the Repub-
lican members.
at is folly to charge the Democr
with playing politics in this matter"
said Mr.. Hurlbert, when the proposed
tunnel was ordered by legislative
act which was then signed by a Repub
lican Governor. No one knows to-day
where the Governor stands in the mat
ter and l have talked to him many
times about it. He keeps saying, l
have changed my mind, although he
has in his. possession the minutes Of
the Port and Harbor Development Com
mission plainly recording my position.
The Governor told me personally he
favored this tunnel and then he re-
versed himself, before the Brooklyn

lhere's a plant over there with so
many leaves that the loss of one won't
matter in the least" whispered Old
Mr.. Temptation. "Why should Farmer
Brown have all these cabbages and
you not have even a taste? Just try
one of those leaves. 1t will make
you feel like new Rabbit
Peter hesitated. Then he SLOWLY
hf.opped over to that particular plant.
IL was true that one leaf wouldn't be
missed. Peter stretched out his
wabblg little nose for smell. He
dldn't intend to take bite. All he
wanted was to smell of that cabbage
But somehow he stretched that wab-
ply little nose further than he meant
to and it touched the edge of a leaf

TO peter that never had he tasted
anything so delicious. He kept on
nibbling. The more he nibblea the
more It seemed to him that ne must
have the whole leaf.
Nlble, nibble,, nibble. That leaf
was half gone. Nibble, nibble, nibble.
mat leaf was wholly gone Still it
seemed TO Peter that he hadn't had
more than a bite. If that leaf
wouldn't be missed-and he was sure
1t wouldn't-a leaf from another plant
wouldn't be missed. Peter hopped tn
the next plant and began to nibble
Old Mr.. Temptation chuckled.

Bedtime Stories
Old Mr.. Temptation Keeps Busy
By Thornton w. Burgess
Temptations alnoays busy, by night
as aUell as day,
And he aOho stops to listen aOil
surely haze to poy.
Peter Rabbit.

Slowly Peter Rabbit approached
Farmer Browns garden. The Black
Shadows mad already crept out from
the Purple Hills behind which Jolly,
round, red Mr.. Sun had smilingly
gone to bed Over on the edge of the
Green Forest Melody the Wood
Thrush was pouring out his evening
song. Most of the other birds had
already gone to bed. There were few
exceptions. Hooty the Owl was awake,
of course. Whip poor-will had lust
awakened and was calling over in the
Green Forest. Boomer the Night
hawk was hunting his dinner high in
the air above Farmer Browns garden.
Peter poked his head under the
fence and gazed longingly into that
garden. 1t was too dark for him to
see very we'll, but wandering Little
Night Breeze brought to him delicious
smells. For long time he sat there,
wishing he could see better, but de-
termined not to take step beyond
the fence.
You are silly fellow whispered
Old Mr.. Temptation. "The idea of
coming as far as this and then going
away Witnoul knowing anything more
about that garden than you do now!
You are not in the slightest danger.
Nobody but Old Mr. Toad is in the
garden now, and there isn't reason
in the world why you shouldn't 90
all through it."
That's So" said Peter weakly. at

Toad is. ] wonder if he is over in
the lettuce bed. believe I'll Just
run over and find out"
SO Peter crept under the fence and
started for the lettuce bed. On the
way ne passed several long rows of
young cabbages. "a leaf of one of
those would taste good, whispered
Old Mr.. Temptation.
Il know it," replied Peter, "but I'm
not going to take one"
1T would do you good" continued
Old Mr.. Temptation. "You would
feel lot better for it. II is a long
time since you have had anything but
grass and sweet clover. One leaf
wouldn't be missed. No one would
ever know it had been taken. Those
leaves are just right for eating now.
Never again will they be as tender
and good"
Il know it," said Peter. 81 don't
suppose one leaf would be missed.

q Co.Defendant,s of
C.. w. Morse Must
Be Tried With Him
Judge Hand Decides All In
Guided i'm Same Indictment
Charging Use of Mails to
Defraud Must Face Jury

Charles w. Morse and twenty three
other defendants, named in an indict-
ment returned last April charging the
use of mails to defraud in the promo
ton of the stock of the United States
Steamship Company, must stand trial
together and not separately. This was
definitely settled yesterday in an opn-
ion handed down by Judge A. N. Hand
in the Federal court.
Applications for separate trials had
been made and argued before Judge
Hand in behalf of William A. Barber.
Stuart G. Gibboney, Martin j. Gillen,
George M. Burditt, William H. Dennis,
Maurice NJ. o. Purdy and Guy f. Wells.
In his opinion Judge Hand declares
that he can find no basis for ordering a
severance in this case.
The purpose of the applications was
to separate the applying defendants
from trial with Morse and his three
sons, who were named with them in
the same indictment. Several of the APP
plications declared that local prejudice
against Morse would prevent their
being given an impartial trial in this
district.
Judge Hand took up the separate
pleas of the various defendants. After
a discussion of each case the court
concludes his opinion by denying the
applications made by all the defend
ants.
Soon after entering tentative pleas
of not guilty the defendants filed pleas
in abatement and demurrers to the in
dictment. They were argued at length
May 10 and decision reserved. On
June arguments on the severance ap-
plication were heard. In the moving
papers eli the defendants agreed to
drop the other pleas in case q sever
ance should be granted; if denied, then
these pleas were to stand. The pleas
in abatement, if granted, will mean a
trial Of the validity of the indictment
before trial of the alleged crime
issues is held

ROCHESTER, N. Y, July 6.-Boot-

Chief of Police Tom Heveron of Fair
port, a village near here. The hooch
traffickers of that place, the chief as

turned loose the inmates upon the

Police here have arrested Patrick
Murray, fifty, and the story of the

admitted he was wanted in Fairport.

CONTINUOUS CAMPAIGNING

The primary election law is a source of growing criticism
wherever it has been in operation long enough to formulate q
reasonable judgment. Many newspaper editors who have re
served their opinion for a long time are now outspoken IN their
condemnation and are free to express a disappointment IN It's re-
suits. Most everyone is willing to admit that the primary sys-
tenn has failed in raising the standard of either morals or efflc-
iency in official life, and that as an experiment 1t has already out
lived its usefulness. 1t has opened the way for the aggressive
and INSCRIPTIONS politician who wouldn't have a look-in at a party
convention, while men of ability and willingness to serve in Of
fetal capacity often hesitate to enter the lists which call for a long
continued and expensive campaign. The primary system has alb
solutely failed as yet in bringing forth statesman of the calibre
of those men whose names are a part of American history. There
is no question as to its effect in Montana in cheapening office and
official life.
The objection to the primary system is not a party issue. Re
publicans and democrats alike are outspoken in condemnation and
after several years trial find nothing in its favor, not only in
Montana, but in other states also. In state elections the results of
a primary election hinge upon the advertising ability of a can
didate, while in county affairs too often the outcome is domin-
ated by the weight of votes in the populous centers, the rural dis
tricts being practically disfranchised. Aside from the foregoing,
the primary law is an expensive drain upon the tax-paying pub
lie and this alone justifes its repeal.
If the state taxpayers league desires to prove their sincerity
it is an opportunity for them to put this matter again before the
people at the coming election next fall by a referendum vote. We
have no doubts as to the outcome as we feel the people of Montana
are heartily sick of the costly primary and its general failure in
securing the results aimed at.

CURING THE STRIKE EVIL

To the present time no Moses has appeared to lead US from the
land OF strikes and lockouts to the paradise of industrial prosper
lty where the JOB is constant for those willing to hit the ball. New
Zealand is touted as the country which has solved the problem of
employment by its enforcing of compulsory arbitration
munity, mainly agricultural and pastoral, and their solution may
not be applicable to the complicated industrial conditions existing
in America. AT that, it may be worth a trial.
There is considerable food for thought in the idea expressed
recently to the writer by a local union man, of experience and Of
mind, one who has been in strikes and has suffered
defeat as well as being benefited by being on the winning side.
His idea was for raising the responsibility of union leadership by
paying them a salary only while the rank and file were at work.
In case of a strike or lockout, the salaries of all officials to cease
at the same time and during the period when the workers were out.
1t seems fair enough and a reasonable measure to induce efficiency
and prudence on the part of union officials.
Nine out of ten strikes are finally settled by conference be-
tween the interested parties, and it shows a pitiable lack of commo
sense somewhere if a basis of settlement in labor disputes cam
not be devised to operate before the necessity of a strike or lock-
out is apparent.
