raised by Mr.. De Ford had been con-
sidered and might be tho subject OF
amendment. Mr.. De Ford. special as
sistant corporation counsel. contends
that II the transit companies do not
accept the plan OF the commission. then
the commissio would be compelled to
increase the rates OF such companies to
assure a fair return on investments.
The Governor pointed out that last
year after his bill was presented to the
legislature. he suggested change to
meet that very point
Whether the change made was ade-
quate to meet the situation may be a
question" Mr.. Miller said. "I would
think the law would prevent the COM
panies or commission from arbitrarily
increasing fares in the event any Of the
companies does not accept the plan.
Further study may suggest the desir-
ability of further amendment. and II SO.
1t certainly will have my approval.
There was no intention the law should
have in 1t any such provisio as sug-
gested by Mr.. De Ford. The subject Is
in the hands of commission entirely
competent to deal with It,"

Gibney Took Money From Sid

to Relative.
LOST IN GRAIN PLUNGING
Electric Bond and Share Head
Gets Back $4,000 and May
BE Further Reimbursed.

William p. Gibney. member of a
prominent Brooklyn family. pleaded
guilty yesterday before Judge Grain
in General Sessions to the theft of
$2S0,000 from a former employer, Sid
ney z. Mitchell. president of the Elec-
trio Bond and Share Company. II
Broadway. Restitution of about s20.-
600 already has been made, it is said
and counsel for the defendant said he
would be able to make good between
100000 and 100000 within few
years. He was remanded to the Tombs
for sentence on Friday.
Gfoney. who is 81. was living at the
Hotel Touraine. in Clinton street. Brook
lyn. at the time of his arrest. Prior to
that he lived with his wife at 70 Feni-
more street. In a home he owned. In a
signed confession he said that a male
relative by marriage was responsible
for his crime. He told the court this
man had induced him to persuade Mr..
Mitchell to turn over part OF his bank
account for the purchase OF certain
stocks. The man. Gibney said, obtained
the money, speculated in grain and lost.
The young man said he would do all
In his power to make restitution OF the
loss to Mr.. Mitchell whose private Sec
retary he had been between May, 1911.
and February. 1921. Il have at all
times" the confession read, been ready
and willing to do everything In my
power. to help Mr.. Mitchell recover the
money by prosecuting this relative. and
have offered my services to go before
the Grand Jury. am still willing to do
that or anything else to help recover
the lost sum-"
The $4,000 which he has returned
to Mr.. Mitchell was represented by his
automobile and home. The 100000 to
100000 which his attorney, Samuel
Furstenburg. says he may be able TO
provide is sum. he expects to realize
from certain business operations.
Mr. Mitchell told Judge Grain he
hoped the defendant would get a sub
stantial sentence as an example to
other employees open to the same temp
tations that confronted Gibney.
S. J. Florentine. president OF the
United Barber Shops, Inc. who employed
Gibney after he had left Mr.. Mitchell,
wrote a letter to Judge Grain in which
he offered to take the defendant back
into his employ. raise his salary 10
$4,000 year and assign part of this
to Mr.. Mitchell.
The $2SO,O00 was his personal prop
erty, said Mr.. Mitchell. and it's loss will
not cause his concern to suffer.

All indications are that rent

be able to give service to meet all public

Miller. His statement came to-day when
he was commenting on William A.
DeFord's letter suggesting amendment
to the transit law.
"The transit commission report indi-

cent fare is entirely practical and ought

they are paying 7, IL. Is or 20 cents

postpone 1t until Thursday morning.

the Sacred Conclave than was ex-
pected. The protocol provides that
one day must elapse between the burial
OF the Pope and the meeting of the
conclave.
Meanwhile little attention is being
paid as to whether all the Cardinals
are present at the burial ceremonies,
but the fact that the Cardinals from
France. England and Belgium are just
leaving for Rome, while those from the
United States cannot arrive In Rome
until late next week at the earliest
may cause an unprecedented revision
Of the vatican's regulations governing
elections In the papal succession.
Meanwhile rivalries of various tend
encics are beginning to show them
selves in the Sacred College. Cardinal
Merry del Val is reported to have
handed a protest TO Cardinal Vannu-
tell, dean of the Sacred College,
against the alleged too friendly atti-
tude of Cardinal Gasparri, who was
Pope Benedict's secretary Of state. in
communicating the death of the Pope
to the Italian authorities. Thus It is
seen that the intransigeant Cardinals.
who are led by Cardinal Merry del Val,
tho bittest opponent OF the policy of
the late Pope, intend TO attempt to
uphod their protest against the ever
increasing moderate tendency within
the Sacred College. which wishes to
carry out the late Pope's policy, ulti-
matcly leading 10 the restoration of
relations between the Vatican and
Italy.
Tho Obsorvdtore Romcno, official
organ OF the Vatican, tonight issued n
denial of the report that there had been
written protest, but IL seems evident
that the extremists have protested in
some form or another.
Preparations for tho conclave are now

carried into the Vatican by the army OF
workmen who are preparing rooms for
