"ioker" which makes a Car Of John
brennan. Chief Of the Bureau of Lii
censed Vehicles, Mayor Hylan an
nounced to-day at the concluson of a
stormy debate on the measure that he
would veto it,
The Mayor stubbornly held to his
contention concerning brennan, de-
spite the fact that Chief Magistrate
McAdOo, who characterized the
May-rs belief as the "Antigonish
ghost" pleaded that the bill did not
give brennan any more powers than
he now possesses and thai it merely
trans ers them. Othe'7 who endeav-
ored. without much success, to con-
vince the Mayor that he was wrong,
were Miss Sophie Irene Loeb of The
Evening World, who brought about
the passage of the present taXicab
ordinance, and Assemblyman Joseph
Steinberg.
The Mayor laid bare the real op-
position to the measure when he ad
mitted that it was Police Commits
sioner Enright who had told him OF
the Joker" in the bill. Those who
believe that brennan, a man Of long
years OF great experience with an in
innate knowledge Of the taxi cab stu
alton shorld be retained, claim that
Enright opposes the bill in it's pres
ent form simply because he wants tC
place one OF his personal friends in
Drennan's place. This would give
Police Commissioner Enright, through
this new deputy, absolute power Over
The granting and revoking Of all taxi

Miss Loeb pointed out that under

A romance begun half a century
ago lies behind the tragic death of
]. George r. Reiners, who was killed
by a fall down the stairwell of the
Pulitzer Building last Sunday. Be
fore his death he had left an old
valise containing securities of face
value of $3.50. 900 with a youth in the
same office in the building These
securities are now believed to he
worthless.
When Reiners came from Germany
fifty years ago he went to work and
live with the keeper of a general
store in Jersey city The family's
IL tie girl, two ye5rs old, was his only
joy in life. Seventeen years later
Reiners, then thirty ave, asked the
young lady he had watched grow up
from infancy to marry him. She re-
fused, saying, II cannot love you the

Then she married Mr Ludwig in

District Attorney Banton refused to-

Max D. Steuer, attorney for TEX"
Rickard, that following the acquittal
of Rickard on the charges of the
Schoenfeld and Gasko girls, the other
indictments pending against him on
bsimilar charges were to be dropped.
Mr.. Steuer said he got his under
standing from Assistant District At
torney Pecora, who prosecuted Rick
ard. Friends of Mr.. Pecora were OF
the opinion to-day that any remark to
that effect made by Mr.. Pecora was a
retort to a bantering taunt by the
older lawyer as to his own confidence
in Richards acquittal.
1T is too early to make any pre-
dlctions aS..to the future handling OF

Mr.. Banton. II know nothing of

Kelliher, an Investigator in moving

Mr.. Steuer as a witness willing to

had learned of such a plot. Justice

not pertinent to the matter Of
Richards guilt or innocence.
