FREES JOHN D.'S GRANDDAUGHTER; SCANOALFOLLOWS Mayor Hylan Orders Probe of Judge’s Action in Speeder's Court, By HE A Service NEW YORK, June 3.—Can a Rockefeller “get away” with an offense that often brings a SIOO fine — if not a jail sentence? About this cloud of doubt is gathering a storm that threatens a wash-out of New York’s traffic court procedure. For Miss Abby Rockefeller, 21-year-old daughter of John D., Jr., arrested twice for speeding this year, and pleading guilty each time, has been released quietly on suspended sentences, imposed by the same judge in each instance. He is Magistrate Norman J. Marsh, and it is about his head that the storm will break just as soon as he returns to the bench from a vacation. Thousands Protest Thousands of protests have come Into the offices of public officials and newspapers. All stress the same charges of favoritism. All want to kno-w if: There is one law for the rich and another for the poor? A rich man’s child is entitled to any more leniency than a poor man’s? At a result of this public protest, ; Mayor Hylan has ordered his commissioner of accounts to make a de- { tailed investigation of the Traffic \ Court’s disposition of Miss Rocke- j Teller's case. Before the inquriy began it had been said that the recent case was the first in which the millionaire's daughter had been convicted. But it was soon discovered that she had been summoned to court last January for driving down Riverside Dr. at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour. Further investigation showed that she had pleaded guilty and had received a suspended sentence. Given Late Hearing When haled to court the second time, charged with speeding at twenty-nine miles an hour, Miss Rockefeller got a hearing late in the afternoon after the routine business had been disposed of, and most persons thought the court had closed for the day. And again she escaped public attention. \et usually a person summoned for a traiffc violation has to hang around the courtroom all day waiting for his case to be called. The whole procedure is in open court, with everybody listening in. In an attempt to cut down the increasing toll of automobile accidents and deaths, magistrates of the TrafA c Court have been doling out the fry aviest sentences possible to those

brought before them. They have been particularly hard on second and third offenders. It is from persons thus convicted and fined that most of the protests against the disposition of the Rockefeller case have come. They point out that the girl is a second offender —yet released without fine! "But then,” they grumble, “she’s a Rockefeller. And were just poor dubs.”

By NBA Service June 3.—ln W the old days of wind-driven JLLJ men o’ war a ship captain's great stunt was to maneuver his craft across an enemy’s bows or athwart his stern and “rake him fore and aft.” There were three main reasons for this trick: 1. A shot through a vessel’s whole length was apt to hurt worse than one through from side to side; there were more things for it to hit on its way. 2. A shot fired a ,i:tle high stood a better chance of hitting somewhere farther along toe full length of the target ship’s deck than of hitting within itt width alone; in the latter case it was likely to go clear over and fail in the sea on the far side. 3. A ship lying broadside to the foe could bring to bear on the latter her full battery of cannon, while the victim craft could effectively use only a few guns through bow or stern ports. Same Idea Today Different as naval fighting is today in many of its details, this principle still holds good. A fleet commander’s whole idea Is to forge ahead of the line of enemy ships, bear in upon them, raking them with shot, if possible break their formation and scatter and sink them one by one. A modern war fleet in cruising formation is a mighty complicated thing. The battleships are the nucleus. A zigzag line of destroyers precedes them, with two or three light cruisers in the lead. Strong lines of destroyers and a few more cruisers, strurtg out tandem, flank the big capital fighting vessels, starboard and port. Soi#-- miles ahead are still more light cruisers, widely deployed and each attended by a couple of destroyers at least, to guard against torpedo attacks. Farther yet In advance is a compact cruiser squadron battle cruisers if the fleet has them; if not, the heaviest available craft of the cruiser type. Destoyers guard this force, in advance and on either flank, with a few steaming in the rear. Long Battle Line Farther ahead yet, more light cruisers, in line, their attendant destroyers in their wake. In the very van, the advance scouts —light cruisers again, destroyers. too, preceded by a line of fleet submarines, at the surface for the sake of speed, but ready to submerge at the first sign of a clash. With each subdivision of the fleet Is an airplane carrier, or more, if they are available in sufficient numbers, each with a strong destroyer guard, for the carrier Is a vulnerable slip. Trailing the main body of capital craft, at the extreme rear, except for a destroyer escort and a cruiser or two, is the train of auxiliaries. Hovering overhead, in the lead and on either flank, are dirigibles, ready to give warning of any foe before he can be seen above the horizon by the surface fleet. How They Fight This Is an Ideal formation. It presupposes a perfectly balanced fleet which America's emphatically is not. Maybe there are landsmen who imagine two fleets which are looking for one another, on trouble bent, meet head on. They never do. No ship and no fleet wants to be caught head on and “raked.” A commander's first thought is to swing his vessels alongside the enemy, so as to bring his broadsides into play. If the forces are approaching on< another from opposite directions, at the first signal from his scouts each commander begins maneuvering to bring his vessels in line, parallel with the foe’s, in battle formation. The home fleet presumably tries to stick to its own shore, to avoid being cuff off from Its base. Possibly, if It’s much the stronger. It seeks the seaward side, hoping to drive the enemy upon a hostile coast. Typical Engagement But the two fleets are strung alongside In any case. They steam in the same direction always. Otherwise they’d pass one another and the tight would be over. If one commander believed himself beaten in advance he doubtless would prefer this, but his rival surely would w?ant to stick along wnth him and keep the battle up. In the engagement represented by the diagram the battleships are steaming in line, firing at each other. The aircraft carriers have sent out squadrons of bombing and torpedo planes. In the forefront destroyers, and a few cruisers, are converging upon one another, each side trying to turn the other’s advance guard and get the enemy battleships with their torpedoes. The submarines are submerging, preparatory to getting in their work if the fight drifts their way. The two trains of auxiliaries have discreetly beaten it in the . direction of more peaceful scenes.

RUMORS Os WAR SPREAD THROUGH BALKAN STATES Tirana, Capital of Albania, Besieged by Revolutionists, Say Dispatches, By United Press ATHENS. June 3.—Unconfirmed dispatches from Albania declare that Tirana, the capital, is about to fall into the hands of revolutionists. Athens, rumor factory of the Balkans, has received varied reports of progress of an uprising in Albania during the past forty-eight hours. The reports seem to emanate from rebel sources. Apparently some form of revolution .has been attempted. aimed against Tirana and Durazzo. American Minister Involved One report said the American minister to Albania bad been asked to leave the country for seeking intervention of the League of Nations. The report did not say who had niadt the request. One of the first rumors in the wake of every Balkan uprising is concerned with a slight or insult to'the American minister', the purpose being to enlist sympathy of the United States. There were persistent reports yesterday of fighting outside of Scutari ami it is was said thirty-two government supporters and eighteen insurgems w ere killed. Roumanian Also Mentioned Another example of the rumors that reach Athens and are circulated from here is one received here this morning from Bucharest, totally unconfirmed, which says that General Averescu, Roumanian military leader, has requested King Ferdinand to dismiss the cabinet, “otherwise it will be overthrown with 50,000 bayonets.” Albania is a wild, mountainous little country on the Adriatic Sea, between Montenegro and Greece. It has been an Italian protectorate, but
