Mayor John F, Hylan and his associates grew wrathy at the meeting of the board of estimate Monday when it was dis covered that the city during the last year spent s2Oo,ooo to have dead ami mals removed from the streets, homes and barns of their owners
 It's not right" stated Hylan. Lots of people have their horses insured; they collect the insurance money and we have to bury their dead and pay for it. And the companies that take the carcasses away make money, too"
 C. l.. Cohler, official of the depart ment of health. spoke up
 "Companies make money out of these animals from by-products after their reduction, from the hides, etc. Why, some of them even sell the meat. But don't know what were going to do about it, It is always impossible to find the owner of an animal after it dies
 Mayor Hylan asked E. S Coler, the commissioner of public welfare, for advice Coler harked back to the iIStbIN ol tlit 'Ilf III iHoi u uthlDiiz strate that New York must stay in the undertaking business whether she likes it or not,
 The city comptroller refused to pay for the burial of animals in 1S3T," coler said. "so they brought two or three horses and laid them in front of the comptroller's office and he had to pay"
 Among the animals removed from the citys streets in the last year were one camel, three elephants, one alligator, one bear. one tiger, one lion 5.967 horses. eight donhcys. one monkey and 306 head of cattle.

MOSCOW, May 14.-Russia wants peace with Britain. The communist government, in note addressed to Great Britain Monday, expressed it's desire to contini< relations and sug- gested that the points in dispute be- tween the two countries be threshed cut in conference.
 The Russian communication was the answer to Great Britain's ultima tum which stated that the latter would break off all trade and semi diplomatic relations if Russia refused to discontinue anti British propa- sanda in Egypt India and other col onies and apologize for the dispa tch Of certain notes, and the commission of acts which Britain considers. uu- friendly.
 Kussla admits that she sent cer- tain sums of money to. her agents in the east but denied that the money was used for anti British propa- Ganda. England, in this connection. Is accused of being lover suspicious for believing that Russia had no use for money il the east other than for propaganda purposes.
 Russia suggests that compensation Tor British fishing trawlers which have been seized by bolshevik pirates be settled by negotiations. The gov ernment agrees to compensate the families of two British subjects who were killed in Russia if Britain will agree to compensate several Russians who have been held in jail in Eng lard.
 Russia denies that she was blunt in her answer to Britains protest against the execution of Vicar Gem eral Budkevich and maintains that the communication was couched in the usual diplomatic terms. Russia .t 1Sn l. .lt puted notes cannot be considered as official inasmuch as the British rep- rosentative in Moscow never for warded them to London but turned them back to the Russian foreign office.
 The communist government ex- presses its appreciation of the friend- ship of Britain and admits that Eng land was the first country to enter into trade relations with Russia. thus providing an outlet for Russian raw materials.

ST. JOSEPH. Mich. May 1.-The House of David has begun to reap a golden harvest from the notoriety attending the charges of wholesale immortality within it's gates.
 Syncopated "blues" from jazz band are the only thing blue" about the bewhiskered colony as thousands of tourists track daily through the dust of Eden Springs, 1t nation named amusement park. and pour their nickels and dimes into the coffers of the cult
 While the park is not completely or formally open, nearly every fea- ture capable of producing revenue is going full blast. and Shiloh, the res idence of King" Benjamin Purnell, the alleged arch shiek of the colo ny, has become one of the show places of the country-from tho outside.
 Arriving at the colony grounds, via i"e bV members ,erno"e ea of the fbewhisKered tribe, the first hings to be seen are buildings of Bethlehem. Jerusa lem and Shiloh.
 Go To Eden Springs.
 After gazing with awe at Shiloh. the reputed abiding place of Benja min's huge and constantly changin 2 harem. the tourist is loaded into a miniature railroad train, which for two bits per round trip. whisks him the half mile to Eden Springs.
 Eden Springs still looks omewhat [ desolate, but members Of the cult are busy with paint and brush trying to catch up with the summer rush which began so unexpectedly early. Tourists watch them instently for long periods.
 Others are attracted to the House of ho h oh iq reported king" Ben has secret apartment to which he retreats whenever danger threatens. Maybe, the tourists figure to themselves. he Is there now. Bewhiskered guides answer their query mysteriously, neither affirming nor denying, al though most of them have denied it to officials.
 Monkeys Get Peanuts.
 This is proving beneficial to the House of David monkeys. who are growing fat on the increased ration of peanuts donated by the Gentle visitors In these peanuts, peddlet by Purnel's disciples for ten cents per small sack. lies the only evidence of fraud the tourists can find of al that has been charged against the colony Many of tie shucks contain but one kernel. whereas nature laid them out for two.

"U UNSATISFACTORY" IS
 EN(,I \HsS OPINION

LONDON, May l4.--Russia' reply to the 10-day ultimatum of Great Britain is considered by members of the government to be unsatisfactory and may result in the severing of all trade and diplomatic relations be- tween the two countries.
 Although members of the Bonar Law cabinet. who conferred on the Russian note Monday. refused ts state what Britain's next step would be. it is known that authorities con slider the answer most eVasivt, not fulfilling in the slightest degree the demands made on Russia by Britain.
 There is much complaint that Rus sias contamination is argumeptatiVe in character and shows the desire of Russia to open prolonged neCGtia- tons concerning the murder of two British subjects, the seizure of Brit ish fishing vessels by bolsheviki pi- rates, circulation of anti British propaganda by Russian agents and other complaints lodged by Great Britain.
 Some are of the opinion that K. I<rassin, the communist official, who is en route here from Moscow, will be in q position to give England a more satisfactory reply to the ult- matum than was contained in the note Others, however, see no chance for averting break and believe that Krassin is merely coming here to close out the business which has been carried on by the Russian trade dele gatiCn.

MORE PRODUCTION IS. CALLED KEY TO BUSINESS FUTURE
Stabi|Ization Of Industry Necessary For Prosperity
 Speakers Declare

NEW YORK, May Il. - Increased and stabilized production is the key to national prosperity in the opinion O. speakers at the annual convention of the National Association of Manu- faeturcrs today.
 M. C. Rorty, president of the Ma tional Bureau of Economic Research. declared that three years inyesti- gation of the problems of the United States has led the bureau to conclude ttat the primary need is for in creased production.
 An important proof of this con cluson. he said. was the fact that. even with an absolutely uniform dis tribution of national income. the to- tai income per capital which was ShS6. in 1918. is still too small to meet the requirements of many of the standards of living theoretically and accepted as American. Incomes of Ss,Oo0 year or over, he said. were shown to constitute only II per cent of the total.
 ''The necessary relations between wages and prices and the Limitations on profit sharing, in the absence of increased production" Mir. Rorty said. was shown by the fact that the sur vey showed that in the large and highly organized industries from 69 to 12 per cent and the net value prod uct was paid to labor. while only 2S to 3l per cent was paid to capital and management. including undis- tributed surplus
 O O O
 Guard Against Depression.
 Mir. Rorty declared that, while all oi dinary economic signs pointed to the end of the business boom and the beginning of depression, the great care exercised by he aver age manufacturers and distributors against repetition of the troublous times of 1920 and 1921, pointed In the opposite direction.
 It would be miracle, he said If the present business cycle failed to follow in some degree the course of others that have preceded it. Il is quite possible that the complica- tions resulting from an abundance of credit facilities and from con tinuing instability in price levels may defeat our best efforts to avoid the usual alterations of business feast and business famine. But per sonally I am more optlmistlc.'
