Robert Burns Letter
Gives Sight On
Poet

LONDON, March 2S.-A re-
markable letter of Robert Burns,
that is shortly to be sold at
Sotheby's reveals the fact that
at one time an offer was made TO
induce the poet to come to Lon
don and take up newspaper work.
The letter is addressed TO Mr..
Peter Miller, who had told his
friend Mr.. Perry, then proprietor
of the Morning Chronicle G79G
of Burns inpecuinious condition.
Between them they settled on a
plan for bringing the poet up to
Fleet Street. Mr.. Perry, it is
recorded, very spiritedly made
Burns an offer of an annual
stipend for his services on the
paper, but the offer was refused.

CALLED
TO COURT TODAY
Will Argue Scope of
Queens Graft Probe

Maurice Connolly, president of the
borough Queens, where he and num-
Der of contractors are directly in
volved in the 500, 500, 1000 sewer graft,
must appear this morning before the
Brooklyn Appellate Division to show
cause why it should not vacate its
ban against the continuation of secret
investigation of his administration.
Result of New Law.
This action is the first result of
the passage of the Knight Dunmore
act in the legislature Wednesday,
which is aimed to broaden the powers
Ct Justice Scudder, appointed by Gov.
Smith to conduct the quiz.
The court last week held that
Scudder cannot really investigate the
Queens scandal, but merely sit as a
judge to hear the charges. The new
act, rushed thru the legislature with
unusual speed, broadens Scudder's
powers, and makes it as extensive as
a Moreland Act commissioner inves-
tigating state matters.
IT is generally agreed that the new
law will give Al Smith, Tammany
brother of ConnolIy's. an opportunity
either to go thru with the expose of
Connolly, or permit the investigation
to die natural death.

AIM TO LEGALIzE
TRACTION STEAL
Tammany Will Shift the
Burden of Judge

Yesterday was another day Of tre-
mendous verbal efforts to save the
five cent fare. Mayor Walker an
nounced that the unanimous vote of
the Board of Estimate will back his
move to take over the fight" against
the traction companies from the New
York State Transit Commission which
still insists on handling the opposi-
ton in it's own way.
"Only the city should be charged
with the task of defending the inter-
ests which are primarily its own" the
mayor announced. In this position
the mayor is supported by the unani-
nous opinion of the Board of Esti-
mate. This complete agreement is
considered very significant in view of
the fact that on the board are such
avowedly increased fare advocates as
Comptroller Berry.
Competent observers believe that
the officials of the city administration
have gone over completely to the sup
port of the traction company's in
creased fare move. The present ELAN,
it is thought is to drive the proceed
ings into the courts where decision
favorable to the companies will be
attributed to single judge rather
than to the Tammany Hall machine.

MOTHERS URGE
JOINT ACTIVITY
ON TRANSFERS
Attempt to Stop Meet
Is Unsuccessful

After an unsuccessful attempt to
prevent the meeting of the parents
of Public Schools IS and so, Brook
lyn, called by the United Council of
Working Glass Women Wednesday
politicians have decided it best to
propose a united front on the ques-
ton of the pupils transfer.
A leaflet had been circulated in the
neighborhood by the Council raising
several slogans for the betterment of
the general school conditions and cal
ling the parents to mass meeting
Wednesday, unhampered by the poll
ticians, to discuss what happens to
the child after he enters the school
room. This meeting was to have been
held at the Williamsburg Mansion,
294 So. 9th ST., but when the parents
arrived, managers of the hall in
formed them that it was closed and
that there would be no meeting.
Obtain Another Hall.
Ray Ragozin, of the United Coun-
Gil of Working Class Women, arrived
just as the parents were beginning
to leave and learning the situation
she Immediately announced that the
meeting would be held somewheres
else if necessary. In the meantime,
a hall was hired in Miller's Grand
Assembly, and the group marched
over and crowded the new meeting
place which had a capacity of 800.
Successful Meeting.
The meeting then progressed sue
cessfully under the guidance of Ray
Ragozin, who was chairman. Several
speakers, including Juliet Stuart
Poyntz, Mrs. Clara Shavelson, a
mother Of the neighborhood and Rose
Wortis, of the Joint Board Cloak and
Drassmakers' Union, were greeted
with enthusiasm when they pointed
out the need for permanent organ
ization of the parents themselves
One of the children of the neighbor-
hood, who attends Public School 20,
and who had asked to be allowed to
speak at the meeting, said that his
school should also be included in the
parents campaign since in ..ditio
to being overcrowded it was an olo
building that had been in use since
the Civil War.
Towards the end of tn, rae ,t'ry,
when the question of calling another
meeting under the same a-spices W =
brought up Capt. Fruengal of tt
18th A. D. and president of the Taf-
ents' A ,.>.iation of Public School FaJ
who last week threatened to bar Rev
Ragozin from previous meeting,
found that the militance of the organ
ization and the parents was too much
for the politicians, and proposed a
united front with the United Council
of Working Glass Women. He further
invited Miss Ragozin to speak at the
meeting held last night to discuss
the partial victory of the organized
parents in having the transfer of
the children postponed indefinitely
and also to make plans for further
work.
