The Bear crew, Including seven

NEW YORK, April : 13. UP)
Aroused by the acquittal In fede
ral court of Texas Oulnan, Police
Commissioner Whalen In an ad
dress last night advocated a law
forbidding employment of hos-
i teases in night clubH. v
Ho declared- the night club at-
J mosphero to bo a "vicious" one
i and said that the demand for
I girls between 18 and 18 years of
I age for hostesses was so great
as to create a serious moral situa
tion. '
Although ho did not mention
Miss Oulnan by name, he said the
publicity . given the trial of a
night club hostess this week "was
' an affront to law and order."
"This question of a night club
hostess is a very serious one."
ho added. , ;'lt is becoming close
to. something alue. long since driven
out of this community, and the
young girls who . read of this
ease will be led on by the pub
licity given her 'herolsm.V
"It sickened me to see the
publicity, for the person on trial
this week was in the forefront
in bi'lnging young girls into this
unwholesome atmosphere." ,
Tho commissioner spoke before
the newly organized church lay
men's commltteo of tho Greater
New York Federation of churches.
Ho said he hoped the federation
would get behind a movement to
have a law enacted prohibiting
employment of night club hos
tesses In New York. Miss Oulnan
was acquitted of a chargo of
maintaining a nuisance through
sale of liquor at a club whero
she was hostess.

Tho boy returned from school

later ho died. A post mortem
examination fulled to show signs

ot stories of being beaten, an in
Jury to the temple was found. It
was this blow, Dr. J. Kearns of
the coroner's staff said, that
caused death.
C. A. Beers, principal of tho

CITYJ1NCIL
Creditable Port to Be Estab
lished Enlarge Project
As Funds Available Re
move Buildings On Field
at Once.
It developed at lat night's spe
cial city council meeting for tho
main purpose of hearing tho re
port of tho council's ulrport com
m It toe of their visit to Oakland,
Calif., airport, that the bond Issue
of (120,000 voted last week will bo
inadequate to build a modern
class A airport, which fapt was
generally known, but after much
discussion the mayor and council
men were of the unanimous opin
ion that that sum would provide a
creditable port, beginning, far more
than sufficient to meet with the
government's stipulated require
ments, for two years or so.
It was the consensus of opinion
that the city administration build
from the start an airport as well
equipped and largo as possible,
within the bond lssuo of (1110,000,
and laid out as tho first unit ot
the project, to be added to from
year to year as funds could be ob
tained, until the entire project
could be completed.
It was brought out by the report
of the airport committee consist
ing of E. M. Janney, K. M. Wilson
and ,J. O,. Grey, and which 'was
read by Chairman Janney, with
side explanations and comments
by himself and the other two
members, that the council was fac
ing a huge task In the building of
this new airport, as It was a very
expensive proposition, more so
than any of the city officials had
hitherto known, and that many of
the features would require expert
technical superintendence, plan
nlng and Installing of equipment.
Noud Kxpcri
Jne fact brought out prominent
ly was that the services of a skilled
airport engineer must bo employed
to lay out the plan of the new air
port In conformance with the fact
that only $12u,0U0 could be spent
on It for a year or so, and It must
be built on a plun for future en
largement from time to time, as
mpney was available.
It was decided to seek all the
advice -and Information possible
from reputable airport engineers,
and also government engineers and
the Boe4ng Air Lino corporation,
which is building new airports of
Its own In various sections, and
only recently let the contract for a
(200,000 one.
. Invito Study
To this end and also to bring
about possible healthy competitive
bidding for the Job, tho ulrport
committee was instructed to Invite
various airport engineering firms
to send representatives to study
over the situation and present
their views before tho city council
and mayor, as soon as possible.'
In tho meantime, In order to
gain time and save as much ex
pense as possible the city adminis
tration decided to havo City Bupt.
Beheffel at onco begin tho work
of removing the old buildings,
fences and Irrigation ditch, havo
tho new airport site plowed with a
tractor, and do such other work
that can Just as well be done with
out employing the services of an
airport engineer.
It Is absolutely necessary also to
havo it plowed up now while the
ground Is soft, as later on the
plowing and harrowing of the
desert soil would- be an almost
Impossible and very costly task.
When that Is done, the city ad
ministration will probably let a
contract locally for tho leveling of
the field.
J. H. Dennlson and J. C. Barnes,
citizens who happened to be in at
tendance at the meeting, also took
part In the discussion and gave a
number of helpful suggestions.
Mr. Dennlson has long been
much .Interested In aviation and
airport developments, and has fur
the past five or six years taken all
the leading aviation and airport
Journals to keep himself well
posted.
