SCHOHARIE, N. Y, Aug. II
'UN.S0 supreme Court Justice
r. Walter Bliss today refused to
restrain Gov. Franklin D. Roose-
velt from hearing the removal
charges against Mayor James j.
Walker.
Justice Bliss announced his de-
cision within five minutes after
Sidney Levine, counsel for George
Donnelly of New York, had ap-
piled for an order. Donnelly con-
tended that the home rule section
of the Constitution prohibited
Governor Roosevelt from hearing
the charges against Mayor
Walker.
without Jurisdiction
In denying the application, JUS
tice Bliss held that he was with
out legal authority to grant a re-
Straining order against a State
official where the application was
made in special term.
Justice Bliss said he based his
decision on Section 879 of the
Civil Practice Act.
Immediately after the applica-
ton had been denied Attorney
Levine announced he would ap-
pear before Supreme Court JUS
tice Ellis J. Staley at special
term in Albany, August 10, and
apply for an order restraining
Governor Roosevelt from rem
dering a decision in Mayor
Walkers case.
In the meantime. Levine said
he would request" Governor
Roosevelt to withhold his deci-
sion until after a ruling had
been obtained.

HOME BANKS HELP
To OWNER DEBATED
Discussion of Measure Is
+ Resumed in Senate
Chamber Today.

By the Associated Press.
The extent to which the home owner
would be benefited under the bill to
establish a system of home loan banks,
was discussed today as debate on the
measure urged by the administration
was resumed in the Senate.
Senator Couzens Republican, OF
Michigan contended there is nothing in
the bill which guarantees that building
and loan associations borrowing from
the proposed Federal Home Loan Banks
would pass the benefits on to home
owners.
Would Loan Money Out.
In reply, Senator Watson (Repub-
ucan) of Indiana, sponsor of the bill,
argued that the associations would put
Lne money to use by loaning 1t out.
senator Norris Republican, Of Ne
braska) said that since the aVowed
nIIrpose of the bill seemed to be to help
the hard-pressed owner of mortgaged
property it could be done more simply
by extending a moratorium" to sucn
individuals.
Aid Man Losing Home.
1.-THE real object after all" said Nor
ris sis to take care of the man who Is
going to lose his home"
That's the point. I'd sacrifice any
thing else to do that" asserted Watson.
Senator Couzens said he was gratifled
at the statement that the bill was prl-
narily to relieve pressure on the present
home owner and not to finance new
construction.

AMERICANS DIG
At CLUNY ABBEY
Party Hopes to Uncover
Tomb of Pope GeIaSiuS,
Who Died in 1119.

PARIS, July 5-For the fifth con-
secutive year an American excavating
party has come to Cluny, near the city
of Macon. in East Central France, In
the hope of uncovering more vestiges of
the old abbey, which is described as the
greatest church of the Christian world
in the Middle Ages. The party is led
by Kenneth John Conant, professor of
architecture at Harvard, and consists Of
Mrs Conant, Frederick Palmer and
Miss Helen Kleinschmidt.
The chief object of the excavators
this year Is to uncover a porch and the
tomb of Pope Gelasius II, who died at
Cluny in ll19.
Sarcophagi Discovered.
In past years the party discovered
the sarcophagi of Abbot Hugh of Semur,
who was canonized as st. Hugh, and of
his successor, Pierre Maurice de Mont
bolster Q094-115D, known in history as
Peter the Venerable, during whose
abbacy the building of the abbey was
completed.
Cluny Abbey was founded in 9t0 and
it became the center of the Cluniac
Benedictines. BY the middle of the
twelfth century Cluny was the head of
a great order embracing 314 monas-
teries in all parts Of Europe 1t fell into
a rapid decline after the death of Peter
the Venerable. Today most of the abbey
is in ruins, except the abbott's palace,
which now serves as town hall.
The task of the excavators Is compI-
Gated by the fact that many parts of
the abbey are now covered by other
structures. For instance, the tomb OF
Peter the Venerable was discovered be-
meath the paving of a stable in what is
now a government stud farm. Neither
is the work facilitated by the labors Of
treasure seekers in past centuries, who
dug pits and trenches.
Many fragments Of carvings have
been uncovered, adding much to the
history of Romanesque art.

POLICE DENOUNCED
FOR TRAFFIC JAM
Representative Bowman Hits
Tie-up During Bonus
Parade.

ExaSperated because he was delayed
an hour and 40 minutes in an ineffec-
tual attempt to keep an appointment at
the District Building due to the traffic
congestion during the bonus marchers'
parade today, Representative Frank l..
Bowman, member of the House Dis
trict Committee, complained vigorously
in letter today to Commissioner Her
bert B. Crosby.
traffic conditions of today are due pri-
marily to rank ineficiency in the
superintendent's office of the Police
Department Of the District" Represent
ative Bowman wrote. in matters Of
traffic, advantages to the class of
citizens should not be given to the
detriment Of another class. In fact,
Washington is so blessed with many
avenues, streets and lanes that only
incompetency would permit such traf-
fic condition as existed in Washington
this morning. A little more thought to
matters Of this kind instead of arrest
ing an innocent pan-handler for seek
ing aims, and entering into friendly
alteration with two members of his
own force for violation of the parking
rules for publicity will remedy this
situation. The District of Columbia ex-
poets the superintendent to render ef-
flcient service and is not expected to
tolerate cheap vaudeville stunts for
publicity purposes"
Representative Bowman explained
that the mobilization of the B. E. F.
cannot be an excuse nor urged as a
defense for the inefficient manner in
which traffic was being handled. Traf-
fic was congested in the region Of the
Tidal Basin, and the congestion was
more apparent in the district north Of
Pennsylvania avenue. I do not place
the responsibility for this condition
upon the veterans who are present in
Washington attempting to secure bonus
legislation. They have right to as
semble and they have right to petition
Congress. The responsibility for the
traffic condition today rests entirely
upon the superintendent Of police. Ap-
parently there has been no cooperation
between the metropolitan force and the
park police force or an intolerable situ-
alton would not have developed.
THE entire business district along
Pennsylvania avenue was blockaded
just as effectively as the Capitol
grounds were denied the B. z. F. by
raising the drawbridge at Anacostia.
neither of which was Justified"

POST OFFICE .EMpLOYE
ASKS BETTER LETTER OF PRAISE
W. G. Lang Feels He De-
serves More Than "Punc-
tuaIity" Recommendation.
Cites Hays Note of Thanks
and Various Awards
He Earned.

Retired from the Post Office Depart
ment today with a letter praising his
pInctuality and attendance record,
William G. Lang, 81, hopes for a some
what nicer letter to show his friends.
Mr. Lang, who lives at 38 w street,
feels that the character of his services
merits a note of congratulation, posi-
bly, signed by the Postmaster General
himself.
When after SO years service he left
his work today under the mandate OF
the economy bill, he was given the
following recommendation signed by
Chief Clerk A. T. Davis:
ITO whom 1t may concern:
This is to certify that during the
period of Mr.. Lang's employment in
this department his record for pune
tuality and attendance was highly sat-
isfactory."
Received Hays Thanks.
On June 25, 1921, however, Will H
Hays, then Postmaster General, wrote
to Mr.. Lang as follows:
Though this commendation comes
late, I want you to know the depart
ment appreciates what you have done
as it is working a very substantial saw
ing to the Government. It is very
gratifying 10 know J1at we nave SucE
capable men in the service and I want
you to feel that your services have beer
greatly appreciated"
Mr.. Hays was referring to the inven-
ton by Mr. Lang of machine used in
the manufacture of mail bags, which
began saving the Government $35, ,724.8s
year in 1921.
On three other occasions he was
awarded cash prizes and handsome
certificates for perfectfng time and
labor saving devices. The last of these
awards was made in August, 1923.
Wants a Better Letter.
Now that he is retired, Mr.. Lang
hopes for more laudatory letter from
his superiors for two reasons.
For one thing. a congratulatory letter,
perhaps signed by the Postmaster Cen
eral, is nice thing to show ones
friends.
Secondly, he lost the $4,000 he had
saved. in the failure of Swartzell,
Rheem g. Hensey Co. He thinks let
ter mentioning something more than
his record for punctuality and at
tendance might help in getting another
Job.

RAILROAD REVENUES
ARE SHARPLY LOWER
Problems of Carriers intensified by
Continuance of Slump in
Business.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Problems Of railroads in the United
States are becoming more complicated
as a result Of continued low volume Of
traffic.
So great has been this decline that in
authoritative quarters it is said the de-
cline in revenue has more than nullified
the combined benefits of the freight
rate increase and the wage reduction.
The Railway Credit Corporation, set
up to receive and administer the sur
charge pool arising from the rate in
crease, reports collections of $40, ,793, ,249
during the first four months Of opera
tion, or at a rate far short Of the s125,-
900 600 which was expected to accrue to
the carriers in the year. At the present
level Of activity only about half the an
ticipated amount will be realized
Railroads lead American industries
with their securities held more largely
than any other issue except those of the
United States Government. At the end
Of 1929 there were more than $40, 900
stockholders listed, and since that time
the prevailing low prices are supposed
to have increased the number many

away from the Monument grounds, and
did not arrive at the Capitol until IL
o'clock
The marchers were routed by police
to Delaware avenue and B street, just
north of the Capitol, where they dis
banded and filtered into the Capitol
grounds, taking up positions on the
steps leading into the Senate wing.
Capt. Carter, who is chief of staff"
of the Bonus Army, spoke to the men
from the portico of the Senate wing.
Grouped about him we're regimental
leaders and the national headquarters
staff. Carter demanded an orderly
demonstration and said the men would
disband and return to their camps after
few speeches had been made protest
ing against adjournment Of Congress
until bonus legislation is enacted.
No attempt was made by the men to
enter the Capitol Building and Carter
said If the veterans went inside it would
be without the consent Of "headquar-
ters.'
Approximately 100 Metropolitan po-
lice reinforced the Capitol guard, but
the officers on duty on the plaza were
without side arms, an indication that no
trouble was expected
A squad of motor cycle police headed
the parade. Other police on motor
cycles, in squad cars and on foot rode
and marched with the veterans. Spec
tators along the line were sparse.
The former soldiers, for all the lack
OF martial music, swung along with a
sprightly step. Each company was
commanded by its captains and lieu
tenants. Banners urging bonus pay
ment and designating the companies
home States were carried.
Several dogs, camp pets, were in the
line. They wore small banners around
their bodies.
The veterans, some In overalls, vir-
tually all in shirtsleeves, were silent as
they kept time to the isolated beat Of
the drums.
Some of the children in the parade
were too small to walk and were
pushed in baby carriages or carried.
Mai Glassford rode among the
marchers on a motor cycle. Leaders
of the different groups saluted him as
he passed.
Meanwhile, Speaker Garner told the
House ne hoped legislation permitting
loans to veterans on bonus certificates
less than two years old would be passed
this session.

Department has ordered confiscation of
the July Is issue of the American Free
man. following the issuance of similar
orders last week for the destruction of
