Hylan Goes toBat
With Craig Again
10 Protect Whalen
Mind Your Own Business.'
Mayor Shouts, When the
Comptroller Questions
Schedule of Salary

Inc harmony which has prevailed in
loo per cent Democratic Board Of
Estimate since the second Hylan ad
ministration came into Office last
January was broken yesterday. when
Mayor Hylan and Comptroller Craig in
dulged in an d-time verbal bout. The
board met in committee Of the
whole and Commissioner Whalen. of
the Department Of Plant and Struc-
lures, presented salary schedule for
adoption to which the Comptroller took
vigorous exception. The Mayor de-
Tended his Commissioner and thereby
took issue with the Comptroller.
Comptroller Craig contended that
Commissioner Whalens schedule did
not conform to the prevailing rates
paid by private employers, being in
some instances considerably lower He
charged that the Commissioner had diff
ferent scales of wages for the same
KIND Of mechanics.
haien pays carpenters on ferry
boats one salary and carpenters on
trolley cars doing the same work an
other said the Comptroller.
Whalen Defends Schedule
"The Comptroller doesn't know what
he is talking about" said Commits
sionef Whalen. "What he says is not
true. Unless these schedules arc ap-
proved work on the construction of the
freboat station on Staten Island can
not be commenced"
The Comptroller continued to assail
Commissioner Whalen, whom he
charged with "muddlng the whole sit
uation." The result Of his scale would
he, he said a score of claims against
tho city for the differences between
Whalen's rate and the prevailing rate.
Mayor Hylan abruptly intcrceded for
Commiss ioner Whalcn.
"Listen to me, Mr.. Comptroller. ="
said the Mayor. "You had better let
the Comm ssioner of Plant and Struc-
lures run his own department and not
interfere with his business"
"This is not his business" retortcd
the Comptroller. This is my business
The claims come to me and not to
Whalen.'
The Mayor said he knew of no reason
why the board should worry about pay
ing out the money the commissioner
recommended He again admonished
the Comptroller to mind his own bust
ness.
"Phoney Rates Is Charge
"Thesc rates are phoney,' shouted
the Comptroller.
THAT is not SO and tho Comptroller
knows it." Whalen shouted back.
"There is a man who makes his liv-
ing watching these prevailing rates for
city employees the Comptroller re-
joined. Gle gets 25 per cent for COL
lectng the difference between their
salaries and the prevailing rates. This
schedule only means a bunch Of claims
coming to me for back pay"
The Mayor suggested general IN
Quiry into prevailing rates paid over
the city rates, and the Comptroller
agreed to let the Whalen schedule
through if the committee would adopt
a resolution along the lines suggested
by the Mayor. Accordingly, a resolu-
ton calling upon the secretary Of the
Board of Estimate TO make such an in
vestigation was adopted and the sched.
ule Of the Commissioner approved.

Marparet Matzenauer Recital.

One of. the most delightful recitals
of the season was given at the
National Theater yesterday afternoon
by Nine Margaret Matzenauer. con-
tralto of the Metropolitan opera COM
pany.
Her voice was rich and vibrant In
the low tones, and yet possessed a
light, buoyant quality. unusual for
contralto. which was particularly
adaptable to the rendition OF soft
whimsical themes. Above all. Nine.
Metzenauer sang with perfect ease,
and controlled her voice SO we'll that
no apparent effort was required to
hold in check the, volume Of voice at
her command.
Mozarts Cradle Song" was the
first outstanding number on the pro-
gram, for IT'S quiet, soothing melody
voice An aria, 'Lieti, Signor" from
lies Hugenots" followed as a con-
trast, for its quick runs and trills,
unaccompanied cadenzas and sus-
tanned notes were in the nature Of
technical display without noticeable
sweetness Of harmony.
Schumann's Sandman" was whim-
sical in it's airy motif. and Nine. Mat
zenauer's Interpretation was exQuis-
ite. The "Sapphic Ode," by Brahms,
served to demonstrate the singers
versatility, for its despairing minor
theme voiced Tragedy IN every note.
and she sang it so impressively and
self, that the audience was almost
breathless in its concentrated atten-
ton.
The popular "Gavotte" from mi
gnon" also especially appealed to the
auditors, while the Mexican Folk
was so well received that the artist
was forced to repeat it. In addition,
she gave Hedge Rose" by Schubert;
"In the Time of Rosses, by Reichardt,
and ITO Messenger" by La Forge, as
encores.

The conference also succeeded in re-

again by preventing the renewal OF
the Anglo-Japanese alliance. and It
will soon be out again in the fight for
