All Slush Fund Evidence to Go ! To Grand Jury ! Hirshfield Uncovers Extra Checks in Police Lobby Expose and Asks District Attorney for Full Inquiry Refuses to Hear Lusk _ i Tells Him He Broke Faith;! Senator Walters Denies Fay for Aid He Gave Bill These were (lie import?int develop? ments yesterday in the investigation by Comissioner of Accounts) Hirshfield into the slush fund raised to grease through the Lusk bill making the rank of detectives permanent and increas? ing their salaries: 1. Assistant District Attorney .loab A. Banton announced that Hirshfield ?would turn over the matter he had in hand for submission to the rcrand jury. : 2. Senator Clayton R. Lusk was in? formed by Hirshfield when he called at his office yesterday to testify that, he would not examine him now. Hirsh? field also charged Lusk with breaking faith with him. 3. Lusk's predecessor as majority . leader of the Senate?J. Henry Wal? ters, late of Syracuse, but now a New Yorker?testified before Hirshfield that he had assisted the detectives, but had received no money for it. 4. Checks, in possession of Hirsh? field show the Detectives' Endowment Association used $1,720 in twelve days in Albany, and of this sum $1,400 is unaccounted for. Meyer to Ignore Hirshfield j. Senator Schuyler M. Meyer said that the joint legislative committee would not attempt to supersede Hirsh field's investigation if he was con? vinced Hirshfield was not using white? wash. In making this announcement Sena- ; tor Meyer also declared that he would not reply to the last letter of Com? missioner Hirshfield, calling the com? mittee's unexpected session on Monday night, at which Senator Lusk was ex? amined, a travesty upen justice. "I shall not pay any more attention to Mr. Hirshrield's letter," said Meyer. "1 have no intention, nor has the com? mittee, of superseding his investiga? tion so long as we are convinced that he is not sidestepping or trying to whitewash any orn\ if he should, why this committee will make a thorough investigation of the whole case." Senator Meyer was asked why Leon? ard M. Wallstein, associate counsel to the committee, who conducted the ex? amination of Senator Lusk at the Mon? day night hearing, did not ask him and his detective friend, James J. Gegau, why they had not gone to the District Attorney or' Albany County more than three months ugo when they had their alleged talk about the detective bill slush fund. Didn't Think of Them Meyer replied that he could not say why this and several other questions of a like nature had not been asked. "I did not ask them because the questions did not occur to me until after the hearing was closed," added Senator Meyer. Those friendly to the legislative committee regretted that Senator Lusk did not testify more completely on the ??uality and the quantity of the silver? ware the detectives presented to Mrs. Lusk after the close of the session so as to avoid the circulation of all sorts of stories which are now going the rounds. Detectives examined yester? day by Commissioner Hirshfield, ac? cording to the latter, professed not to know what the silverware consisted of. Checks Cause Surprise The testimony of the detectives re? garding their expenditures as shown by checks drawn upon the account of the Detective Endowment Association was surprising. These checks, totaling $1,764, were drawn during a twelve day period in April to the order of cash in most instances, and no vouch? ers or other memoranda were produced to show how $1,400 of this sum was spent. None of this $1,76-1 was used for the silverware given to Mrs. Lusk, as this was not presented until late last month. Detectives testified before Hirshfield that so far as they knew practicall,' every cent of the $1.7(14 was spent in Albany, but how, they said, they could not say. This $1,764 brings the total amount of money known to lave been raised by the detectives uo to $28,264. It is believed that considerably more than this was raised to be paid over in the event the bill became a law. hi addition to the two checks, one for $4,000?which was not used?and another for $6,000, which was cashed and turned over to Jack Kleist, the lob? byist, it was learned that a third cer? tified check for $16,500 was given to the detectives. This, like the $4,000 check, was returned to its drawer when Mayor Hylan vetoed the bill. Amazing, Says Hirshfield Yesterday Commissioner Hirshfield called the two financial ollicers of the Detective Endowment Association m an effort to learn just how much money the association spent in lobbying foi the Lusk bill and to find out how muer was paid for the silverware presentee to Mrs. Lusk by the detectives. "Their testimony was amazing," sait: Hirshfield. "They knew, they insisted practically nothing. And more amaz ing still were the methods of bookkeep ing. which showed less. The witnesses were Detective! Charles B. Koerbachrr, financial secre tary of the Detectives' Endowment As sociation, and William Daley, treas urer of the organisation. Both swon that they did not know how much wa \ paid out for lobbying purposes or fo any other expenses on behalf of th Lusk bill. The treasurer swore ho hai no book of recorda which would sho\ disbursements, and depended on th checks issued by the association t show what was paid out. Checks produced showed that o April 6, the day before the Lusk bi! was introuced, $575 was issued by th association. Five hundred dollars wa ia one check and was given to Di toctive Edwin J. Burns, president c the association. Burns on the ?tan last week testified only to putting in bill for $85. This, it turned out ye: terday, was not paid until May 5. T! wito?fsa Daley said that he did m know how Burns disposed of the $50 On April 9 BurnH received a thii check foi $75. This was for expense ?-ri Aprii 36 Burns received a fouri sum. This was for $100, the purpo _ of which was not revealed. t Hired for $100 ' This amount was sent by t< i; graph 1,1 Hums in Albany, in responso u the folio? ing telegram : arles II.

Two days earlier $250 was wired to Detective George McDonald, of In Civic Club All in a Ferment At Proposal It Buy a Brewery Executive Committee Asserts It Can Take a Joke or Leave it Alone, but Facetious Members Had Bet? ter Go Outside lo Discuss Civic Value of Malt The Civic Club is in a ferment as the result of a suggestion, formally put by twenty live members, in tho form of a petition, that tho club buy a brewery. The Civic Club is not r. j beer club and many, it not mosi, of its j thousand or so members tiro said to ? regard the suggestion coldly. Dr. George W. Kirchwcy, president! of the club, was out of the city when ; the petition was received and it was ] acted upon by the executive committee, j which instructed McAlister Coleman, secretary of the club, to write to the petitioners asking them to withdraw their signatures. Some of them arc said to have done 50. Their request was for a special meeting "to consider the civic and \ social potentialities that exist in beer and to decide whether or not this club shall buy a brewery." Purpose Appears To Be Beer The petitioners did not say to what ; use they intended to have the brewery put if the club did buy one. but the infer? ence was drawn that they purposed to have it fulfill its manifest destiny and | turn out civic beer for members of I this club to sip while they discussed ? civic affairs and the civic and social j aspects of beer. Tho suggestion was regarded by ! many of the members as undignified and altogether too light for serious consideration by the Civic Club. There was a suspicion that even its good faith might be questioned; that tho j real purpose was merely to lend the ? weight and authority of the Civic Club i spector Daley's staff, who was then in Albany. On April 18. the day after the Legislature adjourned, two checks were made out to the order of Cash. One of them, for $350, bore the in? dorsement "Cornelius J. Brown." Brown is the detective who, with Cagan, according to Senator Lusk, in? duced him to introduce the detective bill when it was abandoned by its New York City sponsors. The second check, made out on April 18, to the order of Cash, was for $200. It bore the indorsement of Paul T?rke. Turke's identity was not explained. On the same day a check for $29 credited to expenses was made out to the order of Detective John J. Clark, chairman of the board of di? rectors of the Detectives' Endowment Association. Hirshfield said yesterday that he would call all the detectives whose names appeared as indorsers on the checks and ask them how they used the unexplained sums of money, which amount to $1,400. Walters Tells Part He Took Ex-Senator Walters in his testimony before the commissioner was entirely] frank in his statements. He told of the visit to his office here of a com? mittee of detectives to ask him to assist them in drafting their bill and to assist in its passage in Albabny. Walters told them that regardless of the merits of the bill it would be opposed by the uniformed members of the force, but that they insisted on going on with it, and he agreed after he had obtained permission from the theatrical interests retaining him. The result, he said, was the intro? duction of the Harriss bill on March 28, and then he added: "But my interests ceased when the Majority Leader (Lusk) introduced the bill, for that insured its passage." When Senator Lusk appeared at the office of Commissioner llirshtield he greeted the latter with: "Am I too late?" "I'm not going to examine you to? day," replied Hirshfield. "I so wrote Senator Meyer yesterday. You came here last Monday and arranged to come before me to-day, and immediately | after leaving this office you hurried over to your committee's headquarters and had them call a sudden meeting so that you could give your side of it b?? fete it. You broke faith with me. I don't want to examine you now. When I want you I shall let you know." "I didn't come here to be examined but to help your investigation," Lusk replied. Slayer Twice Found Insane To Die To-day at Sing Sing : OSSINING, N. Y., July 20.?Arrange- j ments have been completed at Sing ' King prison for the execution to-mor- | row evening of John P. Bulgo. Since l his arrival at Sing Sing, it has been established that Bulgo twice was sent to asylums for the insane. He used a rifle barrel to beat Edward Johnson and his wife to death at 852 East Twenty-ninth Street, Brooklyn, July 4, 1920. to tho pro-beer side of the. question "To beer or not to beer." The executive cotnrul+t? kept the matter dark. Tbc. r-ctition was not posted on the bulletin board of tho club, at 14 West Twelfth Street, in ac? cordance with the usual custom, and the names of tho frivolous members who signed it are, consequently, a mat? ter of gossip and no! a matter of rec? ord. It is said that Dr. Kirchwey was not one of tho signers and that Mr. Coleman was not. Carrying Levity Too Far Tn the rebuke which the latter ad dressed to tho authors of the petition he said: "Publicity that would follow such a meeting would, in the opinion of the executive committee, bo decidedly harmful, and while tho members of the executive committeo are not no? toriously devoid of a sense of humor, they nevertheless feel that, under the circumstances, they arc justified in asking you to reconsider your signing of this petition." The general opinion of club mem? bers is said to be that there will he neither beer drinking nor beer think? ing. They agree with Mr. Coleman that the executive committee can take a joke or leave it alone and are in? clined to believe that in this case they are going to leave it alone. So far as could be learned last night that is what the Woman's University Club, the Union League Club, the New York Athletic Club and a number of other social organizations nre. going to do. It was said that none of them contem? plated buying a brewery. 6 Firemen Hurt When Patrol and City Bus Collide Crash at New Bowery and Madison Street Wrecks Apparatus and Hurls 9 Men to Ground ; 1 May Die A fire patrol and a city bus collided at 8 o'clock last night at New Bowery and Madison Street, wrecking the fire patrol and injuring six of the nine fire? men, one of them so severely that he may die. There were no passengers in the bus. The driver was not hurt and was locked up. The fire patrol was No. 4, whose sta? tion is at 113 East Ninetieth Street. Fires were so numerous last night and the fire patrol districts are so large that when an alarm was turned in for a fire at a stable at 26 Cherry Street the patrolmen up in Ninetieth Street had to turn out for the long run. With Edward Cox at the wheel, they were speeding down New Bowery, al? most within sight of their destination, when the bus lumbered across their course at Madison Street, coming from the west. Cox turned his wheel sharp? ly to the left to cross ahead of the bus and at the same moment Horace Ganaz, the driver, of 272 Delancey Street, catching sight of the patrol for the first time he says, pumped gas to his engine with the idea of crossing ahead of it. They came together with such vio- | lence that the patrol was flung against. a pillar of the elevated structure and I all the men in it thrown to the street. ? The step was ripped off and so was , one of the front wheels. A motorist \ took the injured patrolmen to Volun- : teer Hospital in his car. They are: George Stone, of 818 Jackson Ave- ; nue, the Bronx, fractures of the skull and of the spine; Frank Levins, 421 j New Rochelle Road, the Bronx, a i fracture of the arm; Harry Koch, 27! Morningside Avenue, lacerations and j contusions; William Walsh, 647 East ! Tremont Avenue, the Bronx, fracture i of the knee and lacerations; Joseph j O'Neill, 462 Amsterdam Avenue, con- j fusions and scalp wounds, and Henry i Stanton, 274 East 236th Street, the ; Bronx, a fracture of the finger and ] abrasions. Stone and Walsh remained at the hospital. The others went home after I their injuries had been treated. Stone's : condition is serious. Ganz was arrested, charged with fe- ! lonious assault. He said he neither heard nor saw the fire patrol until it I was almost upon him when he was j ? half-way across the intersection of the streets. ? The fire in the stable was of no con- ! sequence. Bedtime Stories Longlegs Loses His Temper By Thornton W. Burgess Who keeps his temper well in hand ] Tlie situation will command. ?Peter Rabbit. With that loud thump by Peter Rabbit on the bank of the Smiling Pool right behind Grandfather Frog things happened fast. My, I should say so! Grandfather Frog dived into the water with a great splash and dis? appeared in the mud at the bottom, out where the water was deep. Long legs the Heron made a quick step and lunged with his long neck, but his great bill readied that lily pad where Grandfather Frog had been sitting just too late. It was provoking. It was more than provoking. He had so nearly caught Grandfather Frog that the v.ater was splashed in his face as Grandfather Frog dived. It is no wonder that Longlegs lost his temper. Anybody would have, to have a din? ner disappear just as it was about to be swallowed. Longlegs turned like u (lash. There on the bank sat Peter Kabbit. lie looked as if he might be trying to hug himself with joy over Grandfather Frog's escape. Longlegs knew instantly what had frightened Grandfather Frog. With a harsh scream he whirled and start? ed for Peter Rabbit, and his eyes fairly blazed with anger; they were nuite terrible. Now, Longlegs the Heron may be awkward looking, but he can move quickly when he wants to, and he wanted to now. His legs are long, as you knew, and when he helps himself along with half raised wings he can gel over the ground Peter was so surprised that he fell ever backward, which was fortunate for him. That spearlike bill of Long iegs just missed him. Peter scram bled to his feet and away iie wont, lipperty-lipperty-lip, twisting and dodging, Longlegs, with his great wings half raised, after him scream? ing with anger. For a few minutes Peter dodged as he had never dodged before. Then he got a chance to use those long legs of his, and away he went, lipperty-lippci ty-lip, as only Peter can. Then Longlegs gave up. For a minute he danced with rage. "I'll pay you for this, Peter Rabbit! Some day I'll pay you for this!" he screamed, and his voice was not at all a pleasant thing to hear. Then, be? cause he knew it was useless to hunt any more that evening at the Smiling Pool, he flapped his great wings, and with his long legs straight out behind him and his neck folded back on his shoulders he flew away across the Green Meadows toward the Big River. Peter Rabbit sighed with relief. "My, my, my, what a temper!" he exclaimed. "1 wouldn't have a tem? per like that for anything in the world. But 1 don't know as I blame him so very much. To have a dinner jump right out of your mouth, as it were, and all on account of a third person, must be enough to make any one get tempery. But I'm glad I saved Grandfather Frog. I am so. I guess it is safe now to go back and see how the old fellow is. Long legs doesn't belong up here at the Smiling Pool, anyway; he belong? down by the Big River. If he had stayed where he belongs he wouldn't have lost his' temper and I wouldn't have made an enemy of him. It will be a long time before he will forgive me for this." Peter sighed ruefully. Then he started back for the Smiling Pool. When ho got there Grandfather Frog was not sitting on any of the big, green lily pads. Peter looked care? fully around, and presently he saw two big. gogglv eyes and the top of a green head out in the deep water. It was Grandfather Frog. Peter chucked. "Grandfather Frog is playing safe," thought he. (Coryright, 1921, by T. "VV. Burgess) The next story: ''Grandfather Frog Makes a Mistake." Miller Names Censors to Edit Film Offerings George H. Cobh Is Chair? man; Mrs? Eli Hosmer and J. Levenson Members of Moving Picture Board Work Begins August 1 Commission Will Have Ils Headquarters at Albany and a New York Branch Spec.iiH Phnatch to The Tribune. ALBANY, July 20.?Georgo H. Cobh, of Watertown, former Lieutenant Gov? ernor, to-day was appointed chairman of the new Motion Picture Censorship Commission by Governor Miller. The other members of the board aro Mrs. Eli T. Hosmer (Helen May), of Ruf falo, and Joseph Levenson, of New York City. Tho appointments are for one, three and four years, the long term appointment going to Commis? sioner Gobb and the short term to Mr. Levenson. The commissioners are to receive $7,500 a year and are to assume office on August 1, when the act providing for a state motion picture censorship will go into effect. Tho commission will have its headquarters in Albany, and possibly branch ofltces in New York and Buffalo. The act creating the commission provides that no mo? tion picture shall be exhibited in this state unless it has the approval of the commission. A tax is provided for the examination of films, and it is antici? pated that the revenue from this new source will be close to $1,000,000 a year. The license fee amounts to $3 for each 1,000 feet of original film and S for each additional print. News reels, scientific and educational films are not taxed. Commissioner Cobb, prior to being elected Lieutenant Governor, was a member o? the State Senate. He served as majority leader in 1910 and 1911. Mrs. Hosmer is vice-chairman of the State Congress of Mothers and i,v active in other women's organizations .She was a delegate to the Nationa Republican Convention in Chicago lasl year. Commissioner Levenson is Republi? can leader of the First Assembly Dis? trict in New York County. He is i director of the Young Men's Hobrev Association and a member of tiie Edu cational Alliance. Ho is engaged ii organizing a movement to combat th( .spread ot socialism. It is understood the new commis sioners may meet Governor Miller ii Albany next week for a conferenc? before taking up work. Deputies ant inspectors are to be named. The con sorship will apply t-j^all motion pic tures shown in and produced in thii state alter August 1. It will not appl; to pictures produced before that tirm and which are now in circulation. Filni Censors to Confer With Producers Aug. 15 Effort Will Be Made to Reach Understanding at Meeting in Universal City Representatives of virtually all the boards of cinema censors in the United States and Canada will meet in Univer? sal City, Calif., Aug. 15 to confer with motion picture producers on problems of censorship. Carl Laemle, president of the Universal Film Manufacturing Company, announced yesterday that in the interest of the industry he had extended an invitation to the various censor boards and had received ac? ceptances from those of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, the cities of Chicago, Detroit, Kansas City, Toronto, Van? couver and Montreal and the National Board of Review. Mr. Laemle says the producers hope to reach an under? standing with the censors as to what can or can not be produced. The party, with the exception of the Far Western representatives, is to as? semble in Chicago on August 10 for the trip to the Pacific Coast. All expenses are to be borne by Mr. Laemle's com? pany. . ''We must open the door and let in the light of common sense and common understanding on the censor situa? tion," says Mr. Laemle. "Notwithstand" ing all their efforts, the producers do not yet know what all the boards insist on, and there is no uniformity in state and city board decisions. If this meet? ing brings the censors together so thai their rulings and requirements arc more in conformity, it will be ver;, helpful. And if producers, directors scenario writers and authors can b( shown what is and what is not admis sible, much time, money and effort car be saved. In our own case we have f tremendous amount of money tied ur in the 'Foolish Wives' picture. Thi: film may or may not conform to all th< requirements of the various boards, bu we shall feel much more confident ii sending it out. and so will every ex hibitor, if the boards themselves hav? had a hand in cutting it." ather Report ?
