HEIGHTS DENOUNCES
HYLAN TRANSIT IDEA
Committee of Taxpayers Calls
Project Of Commission
Preferable.
MAKES PLEA TO MAYOR
Declares Tenth Avenue Exten-
sion Much Inferior to That
of Eighth Avenue.
MAKES PLEA TO MAYOR

The transit committee of the Washing
ton Heights Taxpayers Association wrote
a letter to Mayor Hylan yesterday ex-
pressing its preference for the Transit
Commissions plan over that OF the
Mayor in several important particulars
affecting especially the Washington
Heights district
when the Mayors plan was up for a
public hearing on September 6 the as
sociation was invited 10 express it's sug-
gestions or criticisms IN writing. In
doing 50 the committee rejects the
Mayors proposed Tenth avenue trunk
line in favor of the Eighth avenue site
advocated by the commission.
The committees letter 10 the Mayor
and the Board Of Estimate says:
we have given very careful thought
to the details of the proposed Tenth ave-
nue. route connecting the Heights with
lower Manhattan and Brooklyn and we
find that there are some features which
may render the Tenth avenue route less
desirable for the purpose OF a large
trunk line such as Is proposed. than a
line further east. such as Eighth avenue.
Central Park West and st. Nicholas
avenue. practically paralleled thereto
and affording the same desirable con-
nections as are included In your plan.
"If the Mayors proposed Tenth ave-
nue. route be transferred two blocks east
to the line Of Eighth avenue. Central
Park West and st. Nicholas avenue
these advantages are apparent:
"(a) There would be a straight line
from Bethune street to 121st street.
"(b) st. Nicholas avenue rises on a
regular grade to 155th street.
"(c) The connection OF the ID. r. T.

THE notifications which we propose.
in effect, incorporate with the Mayors
plan the best features of the Transit
Commission plan and OF our associa-
tons st. Nicholas avenue plan the de-
scription of our proposed route being as
follows:
Il. Construct a four track extension
from Fifty-ninth street and Seventh ave-
nue. to Sxty-third street and Central

to 10th street north on Eighth avenue
to 121st street; north on st. Nicholas
avenue to 16Sth street; thence north on
Broadway to Dyckman street with fu-
ture extension 10 Riverdale).
"2. Construct four track subway from
Sixty-third street south on Central Park
West. depressing two uptown tracks so
as to avoid any grade crossings, con-
tinue across the Circle and south OF
Fifty-ninth street on Eighth avenue
connecting two tracks with Fourteenth
street line.
"Other two tracks continuing south on

DR.. FOSDICk REFUSES
TO COMMENT ON ACTION
Passages From Criticized Ser
mon Are CiUen.

THE NEW YORK HERALD was the first
10 inform DR.. Fosdick Of the foregoing
dispatch late last night When asked
II he cared to make a statement Or
Fosdick replied
This is the first intimation [ have
had OF any action by the Philadelphia
Presbytery I really have nothing TO
say"
DIR. Fosdick's sermon, Shall the Fun
damentalists VIM" which was published
and distributed in pamphlet form
aroused not only the ire Of certain Of
the New York clergy as well as that of
Philadelphia. The Virgin birth of Christ
the inspiration of the Scriptures the
atonement OF Jesus, and the second com
ing OF Christ were the principal topics
OF that discourse against the Funda-
mentalists. OF the question Of the Vir-
gin birth. DIR. Fosdick said in part
"I know people in the Christian
churches, ministers. missionaries. lay
men. devoted lovers OF the Lord, and
servants OF the Gospel. who, alike as
they are In their personal devotion 10
the Master hold quite different points OF
view about a matter like the Virgin
brth. Here. for example IL one point
OF view; That the Virgin birth is TO be
accepted as historical fact 1t actually
happened there was no other way for a
personality like the Master TO come into
this world except by a special biological
miracle.
THAT Is one point Of view. /.
But side by side with them In the evan
gelical churches is q group OF equally
loyal and reverent people who would
he AlvsF, 10 ha
accepted as an historical fact. To be-
lieve in Virgin birth as an explanation
OF great personality Is one OF the
| familiar ways In which the ancient
world was accustomed % account for
unusual superiority. Many people sup
pose that only once in history do We
run across a record OF supernatural
birth Upon the contrary. stories OF
miraculous generation are among the
commonest traditions Of antiquity.
Especially is this true OF the founders
OF great religions. According 70 the
records OF their faiths. Buddha. Zoroas-
| ter, Lao-Tsze and Mahavira we're all
supernaturally born. That is %
say. when n personality rose 50 high
that men adored him tho ancient world
attributed his superiority 20 some spe-
! cial divine influence In his generation,
in terms Of miraculous birth.
80 Pythagoras was caliel virgin
born, and Plato and Augustus Cgsar
and many more. Knowing this. thorc
are within the evangelical churches large
/ groups OF people whose opinion about
| our Lords coming would run as follows
! Those first disciples adored Jesus. as we

/ birth. as we do: but they phrased II tn
terms of biological miracle that our
modern minds cannot use.
80 far from thinking that they have

| tament's attitude toward Jesus these
| Christians remember that the two men
who contributed most 20 the church's

Christ were Paul and John. who never
even distantly allude TO the virgin birth

Mayor Hylan's statement, in part. fol-
lows:
Chairman McAneny tired to create
the impression at the Board OF Esti-
mate hearing yesterday that the con-
struction or the subway routes proposed
in my plan could not be begun until
after the city recaptured the city owned
subways operated by the Interborough
and Il. r. It. This statement Is untrue
unless, through the reelection OF Gov.
Miller Mr. McAneny may remain as
chairman of the state Transit Commis-
sion and refuses to permit the engineers
OF that body, who are paid with city
funds, to prepare the necessary detailed
plans for the advertising OF construction
contracts.
MIR. McAnany's attitude before the
Poard of Estimate yesterday makes "
rlain that he Is no longer anxious 10 CO.
operate with the city administration FOR
the construction of new subways. as he
and Gov. Miller claimed they were. be-
fore the city's subway plan was an
r,ounced. UP to that time they progressed
to be anxious to cooperate with the city.
They have evidently changed their minds
because the city intends TO avail itself
OF the recapture provision In the dual
subway contracts as the basis for future
subway construction"

Chicago, Feb. 1.-The American
livestock industry needs advertising
more than lowered freight rates.
Charles Dillon. assistant to the chair
man Of the Association Of Railway
Executives, said in a statement issued
today by the association. The cattle
growing business feels a depression
engeDdered by advertising during the
war time in which meatless days were
set and during which the National
Dairy Association spent literally hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars adver-
tising the comparative nutritive values
or milk, cream and cheese and butter
and ice cream. the statement said.
What was the result?" the state
ment asked. THE per capita consulnp-
ton Of meat and lard, in the United
States was 1S1 per pound in 1910; in
1920 it had fallen TO 1543 pounds. a
decrease in two decades Of 27.2 pounds
per capita annually. This was a terrific
loss to the livestock industry, a loss
OF potential consumption of almost
three billion pounds.
Railroad rates had nothing to do
with this situation"

COURT GUSTS BOSTON
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
High Massachusetts Tribunal
Finds Pelletier Guilty of
Official Corruption.
By Associated Press to Every Evening.


Boston. Feb. 21.--District Attorney
Joseph C; Pelletier OF Suffolk county
was removed by the Supreme Court
today.
The court found him guilty in sew
eral counts under charges OF malfeas-
anco, misfeasance and nonfeasance in
office.
The courts ruling was on charges
brought by State Attorney General
Allen that Pelletier had been a party
TO conspiracies to extort money under
threats OF prosecution and TO suppress
indictments. His relations with Dan
iel II. Coakley and other local attor-
neys were characterized by the at
torney general as a partnership IN
crime"
United States Senator James A
Reed. OF Missouri. who WAS counsel for
Pelletier al the trial. presented no
testimony in defense, arguing that
the evidence connected him with no
/ wrongdoing and that the charges
were merely the outgrowth of a con-
spiracy by personal and political ene-
mics.
The decision of the court was unan.
| inlous f1ve or the seven justices al
The supreme bench including Che
Justice Rugg. sat at the trial.
In its conclusion, the court sait
that every presumption OF upright
ness, rectitude and innocence which
commonly characterized the conduc
OF men In public affairs" had beer
invoked In favor OF the responder
but that the findings made clear "be
yond peradventure OF doubt" that tn.
respondent was unfit to hold longe,

Official corruption is sufficien
cause for the removal of a distric

vate favoriasm and personal aggran
fizement are placed above princinle

attorney the public good requires tha

WOULD GIVE PRINCESS
UMBRELLA FOR WEDDING

London, Peb. 21-"What wedding
present would you like to give to Princess
NIary?" was the theme for essays gwen
to a class of ten-year old girls in North
London school.
One child replied: "a fur coat, I would
let my mother choose it for she knows
a good thing when she sees it. II would,
be lined with red satin and have her
name in gold letters across the center
Of it.
Another thought a white tea pot cover
would be most appropriate with
the princess photo and that of her hus-
band on one side of it and flags Of the
United Kingdom on the other side"
Some of the other essays contained
these ideas "a very nice umbrella
to use it when it is raining" "a bookcase
with books like from Log Cabin TO
White House.
One child says she would simply wish
the princess health, wealth and happi-
ness"
