WASHINGTON, March lin in
vestigating the record of Bennie F.
Taylor, of Crystal Springs, Miss, a
soldier who died ?. Camp Beauregard
in 1918, the United States Veterans
Bureau believes it has come across
something unique in the way of family
relationship. Among other facts d.
vulged was that Taylor, exclusive of
cousins, was closely related to d per
cent of the total population 4of his
home town of 1896 residents.
Taylor named as the beneficiary of
his government term insurance policy
his father, who, in turn, died, leaving
the insurance to next of kim The
veterans bureau requested from the
family the names of those relatives
falling in the permitted class" and in
reply received list five feet long, con-
tanning the names and addresses of 8
brothers, 6 sisters, 6 uncles, aunts,
23 nephews, 19 nieces, 6 brothers-in-
law, sisters-in-law and stepm other,
eighty-four of whom bear the names of
Taylor. The same Christian names,
however, were seldom found twice.
Under the new adjustment for the

Fears Duty on Cyanide
Will Hurt Gold Standard
Senator Oddie Says Production
of the Precious Metal Would
Be Decreased

WASHINGTON, March IL. The
maintenance of the gold standard
throughout the world is menaced by
proposals to place duty on cyanide,
a commodity used largely in the reduc-
tion of gold and silver ores, Senator
Oddie, Republican, of Nevada, told the
Senate Finance Committee to-day dur
ing its consideration Of the permanent
tariff bill. The Nevada Senator's state
ment was given in executive session,
but he declared he had opposed the
duty as strongly as he knew how to
present the argument,
Senator Oddie predicted a further
decrease in American gold production
if the duty contemplated in the House
bill were applied, and told the commit
tee that the United States could not
afford to be put in the position of en-
forcing small output in view of it's
longtime stand for world gold
standard. He explained that the re-
duced production could have no other
effect that one of destruction on the
world standard

Harnessmaker, 3,Bound
And Robbed by Bandits
Robbers Take $l,61O Loot
From Safe in Shop and
BIS Off Victim

William Hamilton is seventy-thres
years old and felt secure in his little
harness shop at 143 West Thirty-first
Street in spite Of what he read about
hold-up men.
He was incredulous last night even
after two youths had leveled revolvers
at him and commanded him to put up
his hands.
"You don't mean that" he said. al
can see you're just having fun with an
old man. You boys wouldn't be up to
that kind of mischief"
They were, though, and managed to
convince him of it by their profanity
and threats. They took seventy-iive
dollars from him and the key to an
old-fashioned safe. Opening Che safe
they took $210 in currency and $1,40O
in Liberty bonds.
They may have taken forty shares
of Pennsylvania Railroad stock, too
The old harnessmaker won't know until
he has had the safe opened. They
took the key with them. Before they
left they tied Hamilton to a chair in
= room behind his shop.

Upon Hylan to Stop 1t
Exceeds Legal Authoritv

The Appellate Division of the SUI
preme Court in Brooklyn yesterday
reversed a decision made recently by
Supreme Court Justice Cropsey, of
Brooklyn, granting an order of manda-
mus compelling Mayor Hylan to stop
the operation of bus line in Belle
Harbor, Neponsit and Far Rackaway
The order had been obtained by John
c. Judge, resident of Belle Harbor
who contended that the busses were
unnecessary and nuisance
In a brief memorandum written BY
Presiding Justice Abel E. Blackmar
the Appellate Division said:
"No doubt the bus line was operated
In violation of the transportation law
and was a public nuisance. No doubt
the court has the power to issue an
order in the nature of a mandamus to
the Mayor to compel him to perform
his duty. but under the circumstance
/ think the court, in the exercise of it's
discretion, should have denied the
motion.
"The court should not, unless re-
quired by the exigency of public safety
or other compelling consideration, in
terfere with the details of the exercise
of executive power by the Mayor of
the City of New York. The orders is
reversed in the exercise of the dis
cretion of this court"
The bus line complained of was oper-
ated through the sections named, start
ing at Beach 116th Street and continu-
ing to RockaWay Point

News that strike of express com
pany employees is threatening came
yesterday from N. A. Walsh, traffic
manager for two large associations of
women's garment manufacturers. Ii

lar letter sent by Mr.. Walsh to the
members of both organizations warn
ing them to fill as many orders as pos
sible before the close of business yes

In answer to query Mr.. Walsh said
that it was not his intent to predict a

strike vote to-day because they were
dissatisfied with their pay. His letter
said:
"We have been informed that the ex-
press employees threaten to strike

Must Exercise Great Care
Insists New York Can Write
Provisions for Local
Control Into New Charter
From q staff Correspondert

ALBANY, March 1t.-Governor Mil
Ter announced to-day that thsre would
be created during the coming week a
state commission to make comprc-
hens1ve study of home rule problems.
The commission is to report back to
the next Legislature
This spells the death at this session
of the passage of any Of the home rule
proposals now before the Legislature,
six of which have the Endorsement of
the State Conference of Mayors. Gov
ernor Miller said that tho men selected
for the commission would be "frst Of
all men who thoroughly understood the
legislation, and, second, men who un-
derstood the operation Of municipai
government
In explaining why he thought the
proposals should not be considered by
the present Legislature the Governor
said:
81 think that this amending of the
constitution is something that ought
to be done with very great care. There
seems to be no difference of oninjon
IN any quarter as to the Importance
Of extending the power of municipal
Ties to govern their own affairs.
Everybody is agreed as to that. The
questlon is how it can best be done
and, OF course, a great deal can be done
by act of the Legislature without anv
| amendment to the constitutions but
when 1T comes to constitutional
amendment that is matter that should
be studied very carefully by experts ,
The Governor said he did not be.
lleve that New York City would have
to wait for the ratification of an
amendment to the constitution to get
home rule, a proceeding which would
take until at least 1925 if the present
Legislature does not adopt one of the
nome rule proposals now before it
he said that all the home rule required
could be written into the city charter
now being prepared by the New York
City Charter Revision Commission.
Then" added the Governor, "if the
Legislature will keep it's hands off and
let the charter be operated by the local
! officials, New York City can have all
the home rule it possibly can consume
"Most of the people that are clamor-
ing for home rule are up here beseech-
ing the Legislature to pass laws and me
to sign them, violating the principle OF
home rule. If the Legislature would
proyide, as it can, for local matters to
be discussed locally and would not pass
at the behest of people who are clam.
orng for home rule laws continuing
these mandatory provisions that are
complained of, they would get home
rule"

of the notice requested him to do, that
the Lockwood group, which constituted
majority of the committee, would
have reported the bills out at once, and
they would be on to-day's calendar.
AS it is the bills cannot be acted
on until Tuesday, and with the Legis-
lature prepared to adjourn on Friday.
it will be an easy matter to kill all the
measures, if certain powerful interests
have their way, and then set up the
cry that there has not been sufficient
time for consideration.
The friends of the housing measures
are relying on Governor Miller and the
Legislative leaders to save the substan-
tial portion of the housing program
from the scrap heap. Speaker II. Ed
mund Machold is on record as favoring
the passage of the bin enabling life in
surance companies to invest up to 10
per cent of their assets in apartments
which will rent for not more than SO
monthly per room. The Speaker has
a'so expressed the opinion that he
would have enough votes to insure the
passage Of this bill, all the amend
ments to the existing rent laws and
the measure extending their operation
for another two years.

Union Concludes Meeting


INDIANAPOLIS, March 11.-With
plans for conducting a strike of coal
miners in the United States and Can
ada virtually complete, the officers of
the United Mine Workers of America
to-day halted further consideration of
the wage scale situation in the bitumi-
nous fields, pending receipt of final
word from the government that it's
efforts to bring the mine operators of
the central competitive field into a
joint conference either had succeeded
or failed.
Unless a conference is held, a strike
of bituminous miners is expected April
1. The union officers said they had
exhausted their resources to bring
about the conference, and had practi-
cally given up hope that the appeal
of the Secretary of Labor to the mine
operators for a conference would be
needed
For several days the international
Executive Board has been in session
and consideration of plans for carrying
on a strike is said to have been one OF
the principal matters before the board
