Peter LaWtOn Answers
Commissioner MaI0ney
New Orleans, Aug. IA, 1922

New Orleans, Aug. Il, 1917.
Editor Herald,
Algiers, La.
Dear Sir: In the letter you pub
lished in your last weeks edition,
from Commissioner Maloneyt there
are several personal illusions intended
to reflect upon the writer, which l
would request that you give me space
to straighten out.
For instance, the Commissioner
states that l was in possession Of
documents showing that the City had
a written agreement with the Union
Ferry Company, when our Ferry Com
mittee asked him by what authority
the Third District Ferry was being
operated. / may say that l have
never seen any such document, but
on the contrary was told by the Of
| fetal in charge of such documents,
that there was no such record, said
official handing me at this time, a
copy Of a letter on said subject, writ
ten by the attorney Of said Union
Ferry Company, to the then Mayor
dated January 2, 1907, said document
according to said official, being AL
he had on the subject" 1t is OF
course possible that something had
been found later on, but the above
are the facts as for as l am con
cerned.
In another part of his letter, the
Commissioner seeks to disqualify me
from further corresponding with the
Commission Council, in the ferry
matter, on the ground that back In
1910. myself and associates refused
to pay the City for the advertising
of the right Of way for a certain
trolley line, which right Of way the
City subsequently found itself unable
to deliver-all as Mr.. Maloney would
have found, IL he had made
proper investigation before making
this bad break" AS for the rest Of
the Commissioners letter relating tc
the ferries, which 1t is assumed was
intended as an answer to the Com
mittees questions, I can only say tha
the Committee will no doubt take
this up for consideration just as soor
J as the Commissioner attempts to OF
fer his franchise" for sale. The
Committee is on record as insisting
that said franchise, II offered owe
our D. otest, must include a positive
guarantee on the City's part, that l
, will deliver, on a fixed date, to tn
, successful bidder, the boats AM
: paraphernalia of the ferry business
at fixed figures.
There as several other statement
: in the Commissioners letter whic
. "do not conform with the facts in tn
G case" as we understand them, bu
these also will, more than likely, r.
ceive due attention when the occasio
requires 1t. And there are a fe'
other pertinent questions which W
have not yet asked whose answers,
forthcoming, might further illumin
this ferry situation.
Yours truly,

Chairman B. F. s. Con

MAN LEAPS OFF FERRY
LIFE BOAT NEARLY SINKS

The unfortunate man leaped from
the Canal street ferry, en- route TO
Algiers, at 1920 p. m. Friday. TWO
life preservers were thrown to him,
but he made no effort to reach them.
A life boat was launched from the
ferry by one of the crew and an
obliging passenger, who made an
effort to reach the drowning man
On the way to the rescue 1t was
discovered by the obliging passenger
who was in the life boat with one
of the crew that the life boat was
badly leaking. in fact so much 80
that the rescuers had to look out
for their own lives. 1t was neces'
sary to stop and bail the life boat,
when it was found that the bailing
plug was not screwed into its place
and the rubber emergency ball, which
is also a part of the bailing appa
ratus, was also out Of order. Tne
drowning man had, however, long
disappeared. In fact his body never
came to the surface after ne Junlpeu
into the water.
Let us presume that the passenger
had accidentally fallen from the boat
and had made an effort to save him
self. What assistance he could have
gotten is expressed above. A LIE
boat with the bailing plug left open
one incompetent man from the crew
of the boat, and volunteer passan
ger constituted the life saving efforts
of one of our ferries that carry dali!
thousands of women and chiidrei
across the river.
Don't you think, dear reader ina
we need a change in our ferr!
system?

Dr.. 0'Hara Is Named
New Regulars
Manager
Coroner Will Lead Fight on the
Behrman Ticket

DR.. Joseph A O'Hara, Orleans
parish coroner, for many years rec
Ognized as one of the political factors
in the city and co-leader of the Tenth
Ward in the old Regular organiza-
ton with A. j. O'Keefe, was Satur-
day selected by caucus Of the
Seventeenth Ward leaders of the
New Regular organization as man
ager of the campaign now under way.
DR.. O'Hara is now recognized as the
leader of the Tenth for the New Reg
ular forces.
The same caucus chose Colonel
John p. Sullivan, recognized as the
dominant spirit in the new organi-
cation, as chairman OF the executive
committee.
Associated with Colonel Sullivan
on this committee will be DR.. O'Hara
and Gus Williams, leader of the
Eighth Ward and brother of the can
didate for railroad commissioner,
Francis Williams.
The selection OF DR.. OHara as
manager OF the New Regular cam
paign puts to sleep any rumors that
the organization Of the Regulars has
the reform complexion. Both DR..
O'Hara and Mr.. Williams have always
been staunch Regulars, both having
been elected to their present posi-
tions when the Behrman organization
went down to defeat in 1920. Mr..
Williams is recorder OF mortgages.
DR.. O'Hara has always been an active
political force in New Orleans for
many years and was one of the most
popular men connected with the old
Behrman organization, as was evil
denced by his election as coroner
when the balance OF the ticket went
down in defeat.

Earl Stewart, the new manager for
the Orpheum Theater, arrived in New
Orleans with the announcement that
the theater, which he will open on

Der of big stars of the legitimate
stake" said Mr.. Stewart at the Grune-
valid Hotel.
Mr.. Stewart said he is much i'm
pressed by the theater he Is to man
age here, and that he found its stage
exactly the same depth as that OF
the Palace Music Hall Of Chicago,

spectacles as the New York Winter
Garden shows. The stage is adequate,
he said, for the presentation OF all
the big acts which will be sent here

City thirty-fve years ago, and after
being graduated from public schools
he took up the study Of architecture
with his father, Frederick Stewart. He
later entered his managerial career
as manager of the Shubert Theatel
OF Kansas City.
my father owned the old Academy
of Music In Kansas City and I wal
always fascinated by the place and
spent most Of my time back OF thu
stage, especially when opera com
panies played there" said Mr.. Stew
art. "Tn this way my interest in tn
theater was aroused at an early age.
After eight years with the Shuber
in Kansas City, Mr.. Stewart went t
} Chicago and took up his duties a
the Palace Music Hall. During tn
last two years he was treasurer @
the Milwaukee Rolling Mills Con
pany and was interested in promotin
