Dlnner at Aldine Club Develops
Unusual Sentiment for His
Promotion in City's
Service to Mayor.
DR. ABBOTT TAKES LEAD
More Taffy and Less 'Epitaphy*
His Text-Ouest in Reply Oives
High Praise to Subordinates,
to Courts and Grand
and Petit Juries.
Charles 8. Whitman, Distrlct At?
torney. who "has deltvered." aa one
speaker put It, recelved his flrst public
spoken meed of praise for the work he
has accompltshed, at a dlnner at the
Aldine Club last night. Wlth the open
lng of the after-dinner oratory Charles
L. Patton, presldent of the club, an
nounced that it was not the purpose of
the club to launch any boom for any
one, but ln splte of the warning the
Idea hovered close to alrnost every word
that was uttered that Whitman could
and should finlsh as Mayor the Job of
clvlc housecleaning he has started as
Distrlct Attorney.
Dr. Lyman Ahhott set the pace for the
evi-nlng when he said ln his openlng
wurds: "We have come not to praise,
hut to pledge him our support in the
service whlch he ls to rend*r to hls clty
in the future."
Remarklng, then. that he lntended to
speak plalnly, Dr. Abbott spoke of the
obstacles whlch Mr. Whitman had sur
mounted. There was porll to life in the
Job, he said, but lt was not that which
appealed to him as the greatest ob
stacl*.
"Wo Reaponded to Him.'"
"It was that thls man stood ficing
the police?the chllliress and reserve,
lf not the opposltion, of the Mayor af
the clty, and fought for what was right
nnd clean untll our .ritrage was
BJ*0?B**l by hls courajre und we re
spondod to him."
Robert Undcrwood Johnson. who f-.l
lowed Dr. Abbott, spoke rv?-n more
plalnly what was evidently ln the
mlnds of all the diner* when he ?aid:
"Wa ar*? on the eve of h (ainp_!*rn
whlch cannot be called polltlcal. It ls
a cumpaign ln which we wlll be flprht
I Ing for our llves, a war to rld oui
_*lve? of thls great Incubus. It ls Idle
to say that Tammany Hall im not re
sponsible for the state of aft'airs that
puts our city in the hnnds of the
grafter. There are many fatallsts who
seom to think that wo must alwuya he
tied to this Jugjrernaut of lnlriulty. I
tell you that the most appallins trilnf
in thls whole affatr M that th* under
world has believed lt lmposslble for
protected vice to be exposed."
Dr. Abbott, before hls polnted refer
ence to the stand Mayor Oaynor tOOfe
ln the early daya of the Ilecker case.
drew a picture of what he rallr-d "th'
lonellness of a great public offlcial."
and declared that the great Uowi Of our
civic Itfa ws8 to have a neighborly
sort of public opinion whlch would
shnv it. Kupport of such an offlcial ln
his daily work.
More "Taffy," Laaa "Epitaphy."
He said he believed thoroughly in
that sentiment expressed in the words,
"A little more 'taffy' while we llvc and
a llttle less 'epitaphy' when we tlie." A
great dramattc event llke thla, he aald,
aroused the people so that they re
sponded. but ordinarlly such a mun as
Whitman fought graft and dishonor in
the city's life wlthout any dramatic
surroundlngs, and fought it practlcully
aJone.
"Real Justlca Include* wTath against
crlme, not once in a while, but pcr
manent and forceful," the doctor Bald,
and he believed that preachers should
emphaalze that thought from their pul
pits.
Edward J. Wheeler called the atten
tlon of the gutherlng to the fact that
Whitman was born ln Berea. Ohlo,
which he called "the grittiest place on
<_rth." He explain*d that tlie whole
town was one lmmense Bandstone
quarry. and oplned that Whitman must
have iBBBlhll a blg ahare of it early
ln hia career.
Walter H. Page declared the two
most strlklng thlngs abcut the caae.
and lt was notlceable that not a single
.peaker montioncd the name of Roaen
thal or Becker. were the rcvelatlons of
the underworld whlch Whltrnan lald
bare to the eye of the community, and
the promptness with which the chief
offenderB were eonvlcted.
Mr Whitman prefaced hlB address
with the nmark that lt waa dlfflcult
to nay anythlng after what he had been
llataning to. and then proceoded to
ahove over all poaelble credit to hls
asaociatea ln the Diatrict Attorney'
offlca. to the courta. to the grand and
petlt Jurles, and ev?n to "some of" the
police.
High Praiaa for 8ubordinataa.
"Every man aaaociated wlth me ln
my office." he aald, "has trled to ba the
klnd of man that you gentlemen hav.
said I am."
Ha aaid the n.*n ln hia office had
be*a dolng the aama klnd of honest
and falthful work rlght aJong, and wlth
the explanation that he waa apeaklng
for them. he aald: "I thlnk events of

Kelleher went to St. Mark's achool,
where youm; WUkaTOOfl la a pupll, and
got the paillllBBlOB of the Sisters to
take the child over the route he says
be foliowed on the day of his arrest.
They told the child to take them flrst
to the scene of the bonllre, for stopplng
to look at whlch ho said he was ar
i.st.d. Young Wllkaraon led thaai to
West 135th street and Seventh uvenne.
He waa next instnicted to take the of
flcers over the satno route he took on
the *ay to the ISfth street poll-e ata
Boy Soon Geta Loat.
,The boy started off through 13."?th
atreet to St. Nlcholaa avenue, south ln
the avenue to 128th BtTOOt nnd thence
west to Maniiattan street. Instead of
continuing through l'-Tdb street to the
Btatlon house, Ihe oflK crs said, tho I hild
turned south in Manhattan street and
walked to Claremont avenue. He kept
on to Rlversldn Drive and south on that
thoroughfare to HMh street, where he
hulted.
By this time the Chttd was tln d. and
frankly adinitted, tlie offlccrs said, thal
he did not know where he was. In
Bpoctor Sweeney and ? aptam Kelleher
then took hlm to the Wet 126th street
station.
Once insldo tho Btation baMBBB, the
llttle boy walked about, lnspected the
captain'B roorn and the guard room,
ond flnally announced, the oftliera as
Bcrt, that It waa not the station in
which he had been contined. The child
waa then taken to Police Headriuartera
and was kept ln the Cominlssioner's
offlee for a little over half an hour.
Inxpector Sweeney then took hlm home.
Mr. and Mra Arthur Farrlngton, the
uncle and aunt of the child, were
amazed laat night when they heard
the story of the alleged confesslon.
"He haa not made any confesston."
declared Mr. Farrington. "He tclle the
eame Btory to everybody. Wait a min
ute; I'll call him and you may ask him
yourself."
The llttle boy, who was getting ready
for bed, stumbled out, rubbing the eleep
from hla eyes.
"Did you say down at Polico Head
quarters that the story you told waan't
true?" axked Farrington.
"I did not!" Bnapped the youngster.
The boy's uncle said last night tnat
after hearing Mrs. Farrington's Btory
of the arrest on the night of November
14 he examlned the lad's back and
found several wide welts etich as might
have been made with a heavy Btrap.
