Dismissal OverruIed.
Judge Reeves overruled a motion
of the city to dismiss suit of the
private utility asking that construc-
ton Of the municipal plant be re-
strained by court order.
TT must be ruled" the opinion
stated, that the administrator oi
public works had no constitutional
authority to aid the defendants in
the construction of the project and II

Control Held Up to State.
Holding that the State has exclu.

Commissioner Organ Cancelled his

at noon to 60 to the Greenwich street

It remained to be seen whether
there had been a climatic development

various denominations making up the
sum Of s50,000 which the noted avia-
tor-father Of the child paid in a fu-
tile effort to ransom his baby.
Money May Provide Clue.
Attention of authorities has been
given from time to time to isolated
cases Of this money appearing. There
was a curiosity as to whether clinch-
ing evidence had been developed az
to the source from which the money
came.
The baby was taken from his crib
in the then new home of the Lind
blustery night of March /, 1882
An intensive search was started i'm
mediately that night and one day less
than month later DR.. John F. Con-
don, later to become prominent in the
case as "Jafsie," handed $4,000 in
ransom money over wall of St. Ray
mond's Cemetery in the Bronx to q
supposed emissary of the kidnapers.
The following May IL the body of
the baby was found in a shallow grave
beside road not far from the Lind
bergh estate.
Accompanied by Detective William
Wallace of Police Headquarters and
New Jersey detective, DR.. Condor left
his home at 2974 Decatur avenue, the
Brink, at midafternoon for police
headquarters.
There was an unconfirmed report
that $4,000 of the ransom money had
been found beneath the floor of
house in the Bronx. a mile or two
from the place where DR.. Condor
handed the money over the cemetery
fence to a man called John"
Another unconflrmed report was
that the gathering of leaders of the
investigation into the kidnapping had
resulted from Department of Justice
agents this morning picking up a mar
who was alleged to have paid for some
gasoline recently with a $40 bill late,
found to be one of the ransom bills.

Walkout Order to 10000 Dyer.

BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, September 20
President Roosevelt was back at his
desk here today fresh from his five
days vacation aboard Vincent Astor's
yacht, and plunged Immediately into
the complex problems In the wide
spread textile strike by comforting with
Secretary Of Labor Perkins and Gov
Winant Of New Hampshire. chairman
Of the Presidents special textile in
quiry board. Gov. Winant was under
stood to have submitted the findings-
Of summary Of hndings-of the
board to the President.
These findings, which have been
kept secret, are expected to provide
the President with basis for antici-
pated action on his part to settle the
strike.
Note In Washington today
Francis ]. German, chairman Of
the Textile Strike Committee, de-
manded that the boards report be
made public Immediately. The de-
lay that has already taken place
he termed Astonishing"
Before his conference with the
President Gov. Winant was reluctant
to discuss his mission. He did say hi,
board had not completed its work, and
while he would not say directly that
he was bringing q report to thre Pres
ident, he did say he had brought some
papers Of interest to the President
He stated that It remained for the
President himself to make public the
subjects discussed.
There is naturally much speculation
here as to the contents Of the board's 4
report, and as to the Presidents next
step to bring peace to the textile in
dustry. In this connection 1t Is be-
lieved the President, after going over
the report with Miss Perkins, may del
egate to her the task Of mediating the
dispute before the whole problem il
presented to him again. There has
been talk also that before anything
else is done, the President, after read
ing the report, would send for repre-
sentatives Of the textile manufacturer
and the textile unions with the hope
of effecting a truce If not an actual
settlement.
There is also speculation that from
the boards report, and as q result Of
his conference with Secretary Perkins
today, President Roosevelt will quickly
decide whether the life of the board
will be extended beyond October / to
permit a more thorough study Of the
problem, impossible in the limited time
allotted by the Presidents original
order, or, whether he will let this
board 60 out Of existence and then
appoint new one to carry on the
exhaustive study.

The Ambassador made his denial to

made any protest or representations
to Hull.
Asked specifically whether he had
discussed allegations that American

"This was obviously a STALL" Young
said. "They just wanted to get the
patent numbers so they could look
them up."

Japanese house the desired numbers,

rights for japanese manufacture would
be sold.

The announcement that war games
on larger scale than held by the

take place next Summer in the North
ern Pacific under conditions simulat-
ing an actual attack on the West
Coast caused a sensation in Toxic, the
Associated Press reported today.
The entire American Navy and the
majority of the naval air force will
participate In these maneuvers, which
will embrace the huge triangle pointed
by Alaska, Hawaii and Puget Sound,
Secretary Swanson disclosed yester-
day. The Army units stationed at
these important strategic places will
participate in the war games.
In announcing the decision to hold
these peace-time exercises, Secretary
Swanson refrained from giving any
political Importance to them, stating
that they would be Gin line with the
Navy's policy OF holding feet problems
and fleet concentrations in the various
areas contiguous to American terri
torial waters. They would give the
Navy experience which might be nee
essary in any eventual defense of the

power was mentioned in Mr.. Swan
