Hylan Denies Graft
In Open-Air Markets
And Assails Cropsey
No Irregularity in Collection
of Fees, He Says, Rebuk.
ing Brooklyn Jurist for
Reckless Exaggeration"

Mayor Hylan, in statement issued
last night, declared that there was no
graft or irregularI,y in the collection
of fees from pushcart peddlers, as
alleged in the action brought before
Justice Cropsey in Brooklyn by mem
Der of the peddlers' union. Justice
Cropsey's comment that the collection
of between 100000 and 100000 of
such fees annually might mean "a big
plum for somebody" prompted the
Mayor to say that such judicial COM
ment was based on RECKLESS exaggera
ton or misinformed observation"
"The fact is" said the Mayor, chat
the 81 each week, collected from
each peddler for the privilege of a
stand in these open air markets, is fixed
by law. Permits are given only to
citizens, with preference to World
War veterans. The moneys so collected
are paid to supervisors, who, in turn,
furnish the necessary labor to regulate
the markets and to clean them in order
to maintain sanitary conditions. The
men doing the work get the money.
This system Is in vogue pending the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1922-07-15
adoption of a more suitable system.

adoption of more suitable system.
"That there is no graft or misap-
preparation of funds is clear from the
failure, after rigid investigation by
the legislative committee, to find or
disclose any such condition. The pres
ent system supersedes the old unlawful
and irregular system of pushcart mar
kets where the standholde were sub
jected to exploitation and plundering.
These markets, of which there are fifty
four, do business of more than $780,
600 daily They render a very effective
service TO the people.
"The effect of these sales is to keep
down the price of similar goods
throughout the city. If civil service
men were put in control, pending more
suitable arrangements, the result would
be that greater number of men would
be needed than are now used to super
wise and clean these markets. The re-
suit of the present suit, if it inter
feres with the operation of these mar
kets as at present, constituted and
proposed, will be that either the old
demoralizing condition will return or
that it will be necessary to wipe out
the markets and prevent sales from
pushcarts in the areas set aside for
these open air markets; just what GER
tain profteers in foodstuffs desire-the
closing of these markets"

". c. Bowers I'd Competent
Proves Own Best Witness Be-
fore Sheriff's I,,ry

A sheriff's jury yesterday, acting
upon the direction of Assemblyman
Maurice S.2ch, sitting as commissioner
appointed by the Supreme Court, ad-
Judged William c.. Bowers I'd, of the
Hotel Plaza, to be mentally competent
to manage his affairs.
Mr.. Bowers, who is thirty four years
old and bachelor, is son of the late
John M. Bowers, who was a leader of
the New York bar. The application to
have him adjudged incompetent was
made by his brother, Spotswood D.
Bowers, of 521 Park Avenue, also a
lawyer.
Mr.. Bowers was before the Sheriff s
jury yesterday to contest the action of
his brother. He produced as witnesses
two physicians, who testified that he
was quite 2ormal. The alleged in
competent then took the stand and be-
came his own best witness. Mr.. Bowers
admitted that he drank occasionally.
but not enough to affect his mental
balance.
He said that the proceeding brought
by his brother was the result of fam
lily differences.

Charles Strick, Of 22s Park Avenue,

City Will Fight
N. Y. C.. i'm L. S.
Supreme Court
Mayor Hylan Orders Appeal
Taken to Highest Tribunal
After Adverse Decision
i'm State Court of Appeals
O'Brien Directed to Act
Administrations Determine
ton to Gust Railroad From
River Front Reaffirmed

Mayor Hylan directed Corporation
Counsel O'Brien yesterday to make
every effort to go to the Supreme Court
Of the United States with tho suit
which the city brought against the
New York Central Railroad Company
to recover the land used by the rail-
road along Riverside Drive. The Court
of Appeals Thursday rendered de-
cision adverse to the city, sustaining
the decisions of the lower courts that
the city could not eject the railroad
company.
The land involved is a strip sixty
six feet wide, running from Seventy
second Street north to spuyten Duyvil
Creek, distance of seven and half
miles. The city brought the action for
ejectment during the first Hylan adj
ministration.
after the trial in the Supreme Court
the decision had been rendered against
the city in our effort to regain this
land" said the Mayor in his letter yes
terday to the Corporation Counsel,
upon the doctrine or theory of 'ad-
vanced estoppel.' The principle adopted
was that the city having been silent
during period of seventy years when
large sums of money were spent by the
railroad in construction and equip
ment. but also during which period the
New York Central had the use Of this
land without compensation to the city,
the people were estopped from succeed
ing In an action for the recovery of
such land.
After appeal to the Appellate Di-
vision that tribunal affirmed the de-
cision of the court below and adopted
in addition to the doctrine of estoppel
the adverse possession during all these
years on the part of the railroad as an
additional reason for dismissing the
complaint. The basis of the decision
in the Court of Appeals affirming the
decision Of the court below. presum-
ably will be set forth in an opinion
which l assume you have not as yet re-
ceived. After you have analysed the
opinion Of the Court Of Appeals make
every effort Immediately to bring this
litigation to the highest court in the
land, the Supreme Court of the United
States.
at is of vital Importance to the
people of the City Of New York to
have determined, if possible, by the
highest tribunal of the country. the
grave issues involved in this case. The
chief one of these issues, as l under
stand 1t, Is whether or not railroad

glad to comply with this request If it
had been Mr.. Strick who had bitten
the little girl, but that all the evidence
was that the bite was inflicted by
Sporty, and Sporty must be the one to
suffer.
Soon after Sporty reached the pound
Mr.. Strick arrived. He said he didn't
know what the visiting hours were, but
he'd like to see Sporty as soon as pos
sible. The pound keeper told him to
come back in an hour,
At the end of the hour Mr.. Strick
returned with some certified sausage
for Sporty and begged to be allowed
to take the dog for walk. The l,eeper
said they could go if they would be
back in fifteen minutes. They de-
parted joyfully, Sporty in his masters
arms, nibbling daintily at bits of sau-
sage. Mr.. Strick was wiping tears Of
Joy from his eyes.
They were back in fifteen minutes,
and Mr.. Strick wanted to know when
he could See Sporty again. The keeper
said in another hour he could see the
dog again, and at the end Of that time
he and Mrs. Strick came and had an
other visit with Sporty.
Then Mr.. Strick strolled about to
kill time for another hour, when he
was promised to see the dog again,
while his wife went home to prepare
dinner. Mr.. Strick said that he was
going to give up business and all other
engagements for the next twenty days
and devote his time to cheering up
Sporty.

Queens Jury Urges
Moors's Reinstatement
Declares Complaints Against
Deputy Tax Receiver We're
Not Authorized

The last official act of the July
Queens County Grand Jury was to send
a letter yesterday to Comptroller Craig
urging the reinstatement of Anthony
Moors, Deputy Tax Receiver for Queens
County.
Moors was suspended recently by
Comptroller Craig after an unofficial
report that certain members Of the
grand jury had visited his Offices in
the Municipal Building and because
Moors had not reported the visit to the
Comptroller.
The letter was signed by Frank E. M.
Hopkins, foreman of the jury. and
said:
"No complaint whatever against that
Office or against Deputy Receiver Moors
has been presented to us. Any such
investigation of that office or complaint
to the Comptroller that may have been
made by individual members Of this
grand jury was made without the
knowledge or consent Of the foreman
and without authority from this body
eve therefore solemnly urge that
Mr.. Moors be reinstated in his former
position"
