O'Brien. 1705 Irankferd uvenue, one of the largest stockholders of the Philadelphia Hantd Transit Cemnnny, made this assertion today when enked his vlcwa concerning the controversy between Mr. Mitten, president of the company, nnd five of the directern who arc seeking control. Incidentally, Dr. OBrlen. who is promlncjet in movement for betterment of conditions in the northeastern part of the city, expressed regret that Mayer Moere had seen fit, apparently, te take the side of the directors against Mr. Mitten. Ills Proxies te Aid Mitten Dr. O'Brien taid he would turu his proxies ever te the Mitten forces. "It is absolute felly," he raid, "even te consider any plan looking toward curtailment of the powers of Mr. Mit ten or ousting him from control.

In street railway Improvement in this city speak leundcr thun any nddressen or statements which may be made by these who knew nothing whatever about the practicnl end of the railway busi ness. ' "Whnt Mr. Mitten has accomplished Is a metter of very recent history. When he came te Phl'adclphln the air was charged with strike, there was mutiny among the men, and the company gen erally was In n deplornb'e condition. "Mr. Mitten took held of the situa tion and in the face of great obstacles brought what may be called a metamor phosis. By applying prrnclples which he found rucccemuI in running ether lines he graduully eliminated discontent among the men, guvc the people better service and crented a confidence among the peo ple whicli is of incalculab'c value." He was asked if he thought It a geed plan for the men te share in the profits aa suggested uy air. .mtten alter econ omics hed been uffcctvd und a dividend declared. Agrees Willi Everything "I agree with everything he has done," replied Dr. O'Brien. "When a man gets results and shows that he is without exaggeration one hundred per rent efficiency why try te disturb him. Would it be done In any ether business? Certainly npt. Let Mr. Mitten alone and de net prevent him from continuing his geed work." Asked if ethtr stockholders in the northeast shared hib opinion, Dr. O'Brien said that most of these he knew were for Mr. Mitten te the finish. Dr. O'Brien expressed regret that the Majer had seen fit te take part in the controversy. "Mayer Moere ought te keep his hands off the Internal affairs of the company," he declared. "It is all very well for hi in te represent Ihe city en tne uenrn. out mat nees nei war 'rant his Interference with the practical matters nljcctlng stockholders.

"The 5 per cent rental demanded by the Mayer at the very beginning of operation is out of all rcusen.

BENCH; TO DEVOTE TIME TOBASEBALL Net Enough Hours in Day for - All Hie Activities, He Says DECLINED TO WITHDRAW WHILE HE WAS 'UNDER FIRE' By the Associated Press Chicago, Feb. 18. Federal Judg Kehcsaw 31. LanuU today announced that he had resigned from the Bench nrtd would devote his entire time te his portion of baseball commissioner. The announcement was made In 6pen court as seen as It convened this morn ing. "There are net enough hours In the day for all of my activities'," said the Judge. "Therefore I have forwarded my resignation as Federal Judge te Washington, effective March I." The Judge then called 'the first caw en his docket and refused te discus the matter until court recess beyond saying that Iiitt resignation was ad dressed te President Harding personally. When court adjourned the Judge added but little te his statement. "Thnt's all there In te it," said the Judge. "Thcre Isn't time enough te de everything. I've worked hard. I've been getting up nt D o'clock in the morning. I've had te go without lunch for two weeks." "Then tee, a fellow is In a bad way when he wants te stay in bed in the daytime," added the Judge. He de clared that was the way he felt new and he realized that tome remedy must be found. Declines te DLscuss Criticism He declined te answer a question as te whether ndersc criticism of his holding the position of Judge and also that of baseball commissioner caused his resignation. "Just let my statement stand," he said. Judge Lnndls will have virtually com pleted seventeen years as Judge for the Northern District of Illinois when bis resignation becomes effective. Rumors of the resignation have been current fonmenths, and Intimate friends have known for some time that the action was imminent. It has been generally understood that Judge Landla would have resigned some time age- nut for uie attacks made en him by Senater Dial, et Seuth Caro lina, and the i.oterlcty brought through his handling of the case of Willie Dal Dal ten, seventeen -year -old bank robber. On the verse of resigning when these things came up, the Judge changed his plans, informing mends mat he "would never resign under fire." Senater Dial had attacked the Jiulec because of the latter's statement that bank eiliclnls sometimes were partly responsible for robberies by boys because they did net puy adequate salaries. Impeaihmcnt Move Dropped Senater Dial nnd Rcprecntatle Welty, of Ohie, later proposed im rcncliment proceedings against the Judge, the Representative basing his case en the holding of two pwltlens by the Judge. Betli cases were dropped. The Judge became Bead of organized baseball shcrtly after the Grand Jury investigation into the 1010 World's Series scandal. He wa offered ?30,000 a year te take the position, und nftci several reftmls finally asre?d under condition that he remain en the bench. He- insisted that his salary be only SIL',500, explaining that, his judicial Cnnttnupd en Pace Four.
