the blood to the tissues where applied and this

Since the dawn Of history mankind has been

Governor-Elect to Confer at
End of Week With Demo-
cratic Leaders to Undo
Miller'sWork ON Traction
Expects Republican Aid
Bills To Be Drafted, Includ-
ing One TO Do Away With
State Public Service Body

Conferences will be held this week
by Governor-elect Alfred e. Smith and
the Democratic Legislative leaders,
Senator James J. Walker and Assem-
blyman Charles D. Donohue. at which
the plan for putting the Democratic
platform pledges into effec. will be
discussed.
Foremost among the items on the
Democratic program is a series Of bills
to undo the work Of the Miller admin
,stration regarding the local Transit
Commission and the State Public Serv-
ice Commission.
Senator Walker and Assemblyman
Donohue. it was reported las. night,
have drafted tentative set Of three
bills to oust both commissions and re-
place the local Transit Commission
with rapid trensit commission ap-
pointed by the Boa,d of Estimate and
responsible to the local authorities.
The commission will be single headed
similar commissions for all the first
and second class cities Of the state. A
third bill, according to Tammany lead
ers, Will create statewide public
service commission to deal with all
public utilities other than transit.
Many Republican legislators, espe-
cially the Assemblymen from New York
City, stand ready to lend their sup
port to the proposed bills, in order, as
one of them-Assemblyman George N
Jesse-put it yesterday, "to prevent the
Governor-elect from having an alibi."
There are four Republican Assembly
men from Manhattan and two from
Kings, and if these six are united in
the program which certain Republicans
are For carrying out, they will give the
Democrats the necessary majority in
the lower house. The Democrats will
control the Senate after January /.
Assemblyman Jesse said that tho
Republicans "will insist that the Demo

He said that the Republicans would not
be lacking in supporting not only the
Democratic transit program, but the
threatened repeal of the Mullan- Gage
act.

In an article printed November 10
about the shooting Of VIII Lewis,
negro, by Milton Schwartz. after an
ARRAY between Lewis and Hyman
Ferer, The Tribune, relying chiefly
upon what was described as the of
ficial police version, stated that the
cause OF the quarrel was that Ferer
believed Lewis had been one of q
party Of five negroes who had looted
Ferer's vegetable delivery cart, and
also said Lewis "took offense when
Ferer accused him of stealing vege-
tables and struck out with his fists
before Ferer could repeat the charge.
A second later, detectives say, he
drew a razor and slashed his accuser
about the head and face" The ac-
count further stated that Schwartz
approached, saw blood on the face
of his friend Ferer, accosted Lewis.
who was brandishing a razor, and
after an interchange of remarks shot
him.
Subsequent investigation os Che cir
cumstances indicates that the actual
facts were that street loungers, not
proved to have been negroes, had
upset Fercr's cart and then falsely
told Ferer that Lewis had done it.
Thereupon Ferer accused Lewis, not
Of stealing vegetables, but Of upset
ting the cart, whereupon Lewis de-
MED the charge and walked away.
Ferer went after him and the en-
counter in which Ferer received in
juries followed. The Tribune found
no satisfactory evidence that Lewis
inflicted these injuries with a razor
or that he brandished one when ac-
costed by Schwartz. Witnesses give
different versions of what occurred
between Lewis and Schwartz pre-.
ceding the shooting.

Multitude Quits City
To Eat Turkey at Home
Railway Terminals Crowded
and Roads Put On
Extra Trains

Throngs Of New Yorkers-by -adop-
tion, heading for the old homo town
and mothers peerless Thanksgiving
turkey, began crowding into the great
railroad terminals at an early hour yes
terday. their number steadily augment
ing until late last night. They were
reinforced by other throngs bent upon
passing the holiday at Atlantic City,
Asbury Park and Washington. All
the roads serving the Jersey shore re-
sorts ran extra trains, often in two
sections, to accommodate the heavy
traffic. There was no congestion.
The traffic manager of the Jersey
Central reported an increase over last
years figures of about 30 per cent to
such points as Lakewood and Atlantic
City, and Easton, Bethlehem, Allen
town and Reading. The New York Cen
trail increased it's upstate service by the
addition of sixteen trains. The Lacka-
wanna put extra coaches and Pullmans
on trains as far as Buffalo. Traffic
managers Of these roads declared that
travel on the holiday itself is lighter
than on the day preceding 1t. The
committing service on the Erie, indeed,
will run on the regular Sunday sched-
ule to-day. The return tide is not ex-
pected to set In until Sunday.

years now, no one Republican in New
York has exercised the enormous
power which any one man dominating
the party in the Empire State could
WELD in national affair. No one man,
nor any four or five mex for that mat
ter, could deliver the eighty~eight dele
gates from New York at q Republi~
can national convention.
"By actual count you have to get
fourteen men from New York in a
room to decide how the New York dele
cation is going to vote,'' prominent
Republican from another state said
disgustedly to the writer at the Chi
cago convention two years ago.
The most desperate efforts failed to
get New York's delegation together at
that convention. AS result Il played
very little part, as delegation, in
shaping the events. For while it ap.
peared that new leader might arise,
in view Of the extraordinary success
Of William J. Tully in organizing the
state for Lowden and later in helping
the swing to Harding. But Tully has
SO little thought of fighting for leader
ship that he has changed his voting
residence from the 37th Congressional
District to the 1st.
Opponents of Calder during the last
few years have urged Wadsworth to
take the leadership in the fight against
him, but up to date Wadsworth has
ignored most Of che little maneuvers
which seemed 20 mean so much In the
bigger game.
So far there has been the most
extraordinary effort on The part of
Wadsworth and Calder both 20 decide
all the patronage questions amicably.
Almost every New York appointment
OF Importance so far has had the
unanimous backing not only o4&the two
Senators, but usually Of Che national
committeeman and state chairman as
we'll
With the defeat OF Calder by DR..
Copeland in the AL Smith landslide
early this month, however, the section
OF the delegation which has always
the party, with Luther Mott as it's
leader in the House, found itself in a
precarious position. This is believed
to be the underlying reason for the
drive begun openly to-day to have Sem
ator Calder appointed to the collector
ship.
This would keep up the balance OF
power, 80 to speak. II their faction
should be deprived OF Federal patron
age which they would normally have
received through Senator Calder, it
""o'o DS SUHPehsateo DY the patron
age of the Collectors Office. Also the
appointment would mean that Senator
Calder would maintain an official rela-
ton with the Administration.
A curious feature of the whole fight
IS that the appointment OF Collector of
the Tort was put over until after cleo
tion at the request Of Senator Calder.
Wadsworth and Hilles were willing to
go ahead before election. They took
the position that the place had always
gone TO an upstate man, anyhow, and
therefore would not particularly COM
plicate Senator Calder's tight for re-
nomination and reelection.
There was no thought at that time,
Of course, that Calder would be de-
feated. His defeat was the biggest sur
the defeat Of Beveridge, OF Indiana, Of
all the strange upsets In the recent
election.

Two strong men. OF tho West stood
face TO face yesterday In the Court of
Special Sessions. and they cams from
the ends of the country. James 0'Bryn
and Lester Brooks met ten years age
when they were cowboys on the Bar f.
Ranch, in Montana, breaking horses
for use in Glasier National Park, They
made two trips together TO Alaska and
fought in the Same Canadian company
in the World War, but in Seattle they
lost track Of each other.
Recently Brooks heard that his friend
was in New York preparing to sail for
Argentina. He fastened TO this city
and was told that o'Bryan had been
arrested for carrying y revolver.
In the courtroom yesterday Brooks
told Justices Daniel r Murphy, James
J. McEnerney and Arthur C. Salmon OF
his ten-year friendship with o'Bryan
and testified to his good character. His
story, as well as his immense SOM
bfero. green silk neckerchief, spurs
and corduroy trousers, made such an
impression upon the court that o'Bryan
was given suspended sentence so that
the two might sail to-day for South
America
The ex-cowboy was arrested Thurs.

tion for himself ora the Democratic
ticket it is understood here that he
will get behind Mr.. Ford. The latter
when asked recently about hia political
plans. answered that they crested in
the laps of the gods" An outstanding
fact is that Mr.. Fofd's secretary as
sisted by trained political advisers, is
assidnously working to bring abut Mr..
Ford's nomination on the Democratic
ticket.
The friends of Mr.. Ford are counting
more heavily than ever on the suppert
of Mr.. Hearst since the sweeping VIC
tory OF All Smith in the Empire State
on November z. Western politicians
agree in the Judgment that Smith will
have the Empire State delegates In the
next Democratic National Convention,
as he had them two years ago at San
Francisco. They expect he also will
have delegates from other states. This,
in the judgment of the Ford people.

throws him into natural alignment
with the Ford boomers
Mr.. Fords friends figure that VIII
liam G. McAdoo will have the backing
of the conservatives in 1924 and be the
leading Democratic candidate on ac-
count of the support of the South.
They think that the Northern Demo-
Gratis, with the help Of Hearst and Ford,
can make tn big Issue one OF radical
ism against conservatism, and on chat
issue they count on the help Of Will,
liam j. Bryan and others who opposed
McAdoo two years ago.
Failing recognition from the Demo
cratic leaders, Ford's associates believe
ne will be ready to head q third ticket
on platform very largely made up OF
Hearst planks. Ford and Hearst are
not far apart on municipal ownership
and operation, on international poli-
cies, direct primaries, aid for the farm
ers, currency reform, national Develop
ment Of water power and public owner
ship Of mines and other utilities. Cow
ernment ownership of tractors TO 5s
loaned to farmers doubtless would be q
platform plank.
The Ford men call attention to che
record that President Wilson went out
of his way to try to make Mr.. Ford q
Senator, and this fact, they say, shows
that Mr.. Wilson would indorse him for
President il the convention is donai~
mated by the radicals.
