Gaming Inquiry
Takes New Turn
Charges Agaiftst Several
Men Said To Be Ready
for Report at October
Session of (?rand Jury
More Leads Developed
Public Officials Declared To
Be Involved; Sing Sing
Convict Testifies Again
-_
The John Do. investigation into
ga_.blin_ conditions that has set Nas?
sau County a_og with excitement was
resumed yesterday before Supreme
Court Justice Townsend Scudder in
Mine?la. The hearing lasted M\ day,
but only two witnesres were examined.
They were John ShauiTnnessy, who is ;
awaiting sentence after pleading guilty
to a charge of owning a house in which |
gambling' games were played, und
?Matthew O'Neill, a Sing Sing convict.:
Neither Justice Scudder nor District !
Attorney Charles R. Weeks would dis- ;
cuss what took place, but it was said j
th;;t several important new leads were j
obtained on conditions in the county.
The investigation is reported, to be ?
progressing along four well defined
channels, involving bribery, wholesale
automobile thefts, officially protected
vice and gambling.
Crand Jury to Get Coses
Charges against several men, it is
said, will go direct to the grand jury
on October ?!.
The new leads developed yesterday,
it was learned, tend to involve men
v.'iio have been in public office. It was ?
said that none of the witnesses ex?
amined had "squealed," but testified
when confronted with the possibility
of indictment for perjury. Such was
the explanation of one official, who
was plainly elated at the progress of
the inquiry.
It is understood that Shaughnessy
will appear again early next week, and
with him another individual, who is
expected to give important -testimony.
A dramatic situation is said to have
occurred yesterday afternoon while
O'Neill was undergoing examination.
O'Neill k? serving a seven-year sen?
tence for his connection with the dis?
posal of stolen automobiles.
Three men were brought from the
jail to the courthouse in charge of
two uniformed guards. They con?
fronted O'Neill. V?*hat took place only
the officials know.
Inquiry Far From Complete 41
The inquiry is expected to continue
throughout October, ?dwin Edward:;,
Assistant District Attorney of Nassau
County, who has been in charge of 'the
gambling investigation, suffered ;-.
nervous breakdown and may not re?
sumo his duties for some time. Dis?
trict Attorney Weeks may ask the
Hoard of Supervisors to appoint an?
other assistant.
Just before yesterday's hearing
Deputy Attorney Ceneral Wyman S.
Hascom. of Washington County, who
is conducting an investigation into
?.ice conditions in Saratoga, conferred
with Justice Scudder. He hnd ex?
pected to question Shaughnessy, but
it was decided that there was nothing
in the law to permit a witness in an
official hearing in one country to be
examined about conditions alleged to ;
exist in another county.

to Run Trolleys; Municipal
?Operation Is Planned
i Resolutions were adopted by the
? Board of Estimate yesterday revoking
I all the franchises of the Richmond
, Light and Railway Company, of Staten
Island, which operates trolley lines in
Richmond Borough. The resolutions
1 \> .re presented by Commissioner
j V>ba->?. of the Department of Plnr.t
. and Structures, who pointed out tfTat
j the ninety-day period required since
tlie company and its temporary re?
ceiver had been notified by the city of
forfeiture of its franchises because of
failure to provide adequate service had
expired.
With the franchises revoked the corn
puny cannot operate any cars, but
under an injunction of the Federal
court the city is prevented from inter?
fering with the company's cars, tracks,
etc. The city will now ask the injunc?
tion order b# rescinded and the city
permitted to run cars.
Commissioner Whalen also reported
to the board that he has been prepared
to operate the ?Staten Island Midland

two weeks after the execution of an
agreement with the receiver of the
trolley lines; that the agreement, pre?
pared at the direction of the court, had
heen submitted to Judge Chatfield. of
Brooklyn, for his approval, nnd that
the present systsm of shuttles op?
erated over the Midland lines by the
receiver of the Richmond Li__rht and
Railroad Company, with a five-cent fare
on each shuttle, was contrary to the
statutes of the state.
Commissioner Wh.ilen said that the
trolley operation resumed on Septem?
ber 18 on the Midland lines, after they
had been idle since January, was not
within the statute?.

showed that he was not the man th<
police Were seeking.
Roche told the court that after the

he says. He as.-erted that he had beet
in the war and participated in five bat
ties i'n France.

Jury Decides
Explosion Was
No Accident
Inquiry Adjourned Until
Monday; Federal Investi
? gators Admit They Have
No Clew to Conspirators
?Fischer Sent to Bellevue
Ex-Tennis Star Who Warned
of Outrage Committed for
Observation of Ten Days
The accident theory has been elimi?
nated by the grand jury in its investi?
gation of the Wall Street explosion of
September 16. The jury adjourned
yesterday until Monday.
William J. flynn, Chief of the Bu?
reau ct' Investigation of the Depart?
ment of Justice, and George F. Lamb,
local superintendent of th? bureau, de?
clared they had failed to ascertain the
exact nature of the explosive used by
the conspirators.
Mr. Lamb said the government is
without any clew that may lead to a
solution of the case.
He derided the story about "three
rought-looking men" reported to have
j been' seen running from the scene of
I the explosion after shouting, "Beat
? it!"
I "We have traced down the thrae
1 men," said Mr. Lamb, "and found them
to -be three peddlers who were in Wall
I Street when the explosion occurred.
! We have also proved that they ran
i away after the explosion and not be?
fore it happened. Apparently they
have no connection with the disaster."
Fischer Sent to Bellevue
Edwin P. Fischer, author of the let?
ters of warning issued prior to the
explosion, was committed to Bellevue
Hospital yesterday for observation by ,
De. Minas B. Gregory. The committ- ?
ment papers were signed by Magistrate
Max S. Levine in Yorkville Court, be- ?
Core whom Fischer was arraigned on
complaint of his sister, Mrs. Laura
Pope, of Forest Hills, L. I.
Fischer, who was taken to the ob
servation ward several ?lays ago with- ;
out legal proceedings, was brought to
court by Detective George E. McCart- |
ney, of the bomb squad, after Mrs.
Pope had signed a complaint charging :
her brother with insanity. Mrs. Pope
to'.c. the court that her brother had :
been acting in an abnormal manner i
and requested that he be subjected to i
a medical examination. At the hear- !
?tig. Fischer proteste., vehemently that
he was of sound mind.
"I am anything but insane!" shouted i
Fischer. "I already have been in Belle- j
vue for five days, and now they bring '
j me here. I protest against this, your
! honor."
For a moment Magistrate Levine ap?
peared to be impressed by Fischer's j
protest, but he communicated with As- i
sistant District Attorney Alfred J. ',
Talley and told him he did not care to
assume the responsibility of setting
Fischer free. Mr. Talley informed him
that his duty was merely technical, the j
law requiring the arraignment of a
i person legally before he can be de- !
tained for observation. Magistrate
! Levine then agreed to sign the contmit
| ment papers, assuring Fischer that if
after an additional ten days' observa
! tion he was found sane he would be
| released. *
At the suggestion of Harold Daniels,
i of til Broad Street, Mayor Hylan yes
! terday appointed a committee to raise
! funds for the dependents of the victims :
! of the explosion. In a letter to Mr. ,
I Danieis the Mayor wrote:
i "The need of a fund for the benefi?
cent purpose you mention ?3 apparent, !
when we consider that the victims of
the frightful catastrophe were, for the j
? most part, office employees and bread- ;
? winners of families, the calamity of ?
| whose deaths is made more grievous;
by the withdrawal of their support.
"In accordance with your suggestion,
I am to-day appointing a committee to
| receive and distribute funds for this
, most laudable cause, on which I would
' be pleased to have you serve, the mem
I bership of which is as follows:
"John R. Ogden, chairman, F. B.
Keech & Co.-, 7 Wall Street; Nathan J.
Miller, treasurer. Miller & Co., 120

Six More Indicted
In $20,000,000 I
Oil Stock Sales
Members of Curb Brokerage
Houses Accused of Using
Mails (o Defraud in Case
of Tuxpam Star Company
- i
.Members of three curb brokerage
houses were named yesterday in an <
indictment supplementary to one re?
turned in June, 1919, charging the Tux- ,
pam Star Oil Corporation, its president,
Louis Roumagnac, and Francis Imandt,
a tailor, said to be secretary and treas?
urer of the corporation, with using the
mails to defraud investors in oil stocks
of more than $20,000,000. :
The brokers who pleaded to the sup?
plementary indictment yesterday wore
?iames O'Brien, George F. Breen and
Frank J. Smith, of James O'Brien &
Co., 35 Broad Street; Alexander Low, of
Low Brothers, 44 Broad Street, and
S. S. Campbell and Nathan McCaffrey,
of S. S. Campbell & Co., 20 Broad
Street. All six entered tentative pleas
of not guilty and were released under
bond by Judge William B. Shcppard in
the United States District Court.
Low's bail was fixed at $7.500. Bail
n the other five cases was set at
ivi.000 each. Roumagnar and Imandt
were already under bail, which was
continued.
Postal Inspectors Worked on Case
Postoffice Inspectors Howard B.
Mayhew and O. B. Williamson have
been investigating the case. As a re?
sult of their work it is charged in
the indictment that the Tuxpam Star
Oil Corporation sought, by fraudulent
representations concerning itself, and
promises of future magnificence, to
induce persons to buy shares of it3 oil
stock.
The indictment charges that the
claims of the Tuxpam Star Oil Corpo?
ration to certain oil producing lands
in Mexico are false and were known !
to be so by the oil corporation. It
also states that the corporation know?
ingly misrepresented itself in other
ways.
The Tuxpam Star Oil Corporation
was organized in June, 1917,, in Dela?
ware, with a capital stock o? $1,000,- !
000.
Details of Stock Allotment j
It also was intended, so the indict?
ment says, that when the capital stock
was increased to 20,000,000 shares 13,- !
500,000 shares of the increment of '
15,000,000 shares should be delivered
to Low Brothers to be disposed of. The j
proceeds were to be divided between
Roumagnac and Low.
Campbell and McCaffrey, according
to the indictment, were to get some of \
the increased stock to seli and Rou
mognac was to receive part of the pro
ceeds. It is also said that O'Brien.
Smith & Breen entered into a contract
,.i June 1, 1917, for 500,000 shares of
the stock.
Tuxpam Star Oil stock has been sold
through the country at as high a price
as $1.76 a shar?.

Murder to Go Back to Prison :

liam Rang, seventeen years old, who I
said that he had killed Frank Olive, a!
grocer, of 131 Twenty-third Street,
Brooklyn, in March, District Attorney
Lewis of Kings County visited the boy!
yesterday in the Tombs.
Mr. Lewis said that Rang probably

tarilv admitted killing Olive to save '
another boy who had been charged
with the crime. i

Bedtime Stories
Farmer Brown's Boy and the Bees
By Thornton W. BurgesM
When a duty yon ivoiild shirk
Go tvatch the Busy Bee at work.
?Buster Bear.
Busy Bee never loafs. She doesn'i
know the meaning of the word "loaf."
From early morninc to the ccming of
the Black Shadows she works. You
see, she has found out that the great?
est happiness in life is found in honest
work. And it, isn't selfish work. Oh,
Tily, no! It is work for others. Busy
Bee doesn't waste any t?mo thinking
about lteiself. All her thought i'? for
the horn?; and the young Bees growing
there and those that are to come later.
In all the Great World there is no on?.'
more unselfish than Busy Bee. And all
her sisters are just like her.
Now, Farmer Brown's boy know.; this.
No one knows it better. He knew that
just as soon as Bu^y Bee should find
that honey in the bottom of his little
box she would forget everything else
and think only of getting that treat
back to the home for which she was
working. And he knew that she would
come back for more and would brin;?
with her a sister just as eager as she
for such rich treasure. That is why
he left the top off that little box and
allowed Bu.sy Bee to go.
It was surprising how fast the news
of Busy Bee's find spread in.that busy
home in a certain hollow tree deep in
the Green Forest. As fast as workers
came in from other places they were
toi'l about that honey in the little box
and started after it. In a surprisingly
short time there was a double line of
Bees going and coming between that
little box and the'hollow tree.
This was what Farmer Brown's boy
wanted and expected. It surprised
Buster Bear, but not Farmer Brown's
boy. After a while Farmer Brown's
boy put the cover on the box while
there were several Bees in the box,
picked it up and walked straight into
the Green Forest in the direction in
which the Bees had been flying. Bus?
ter Bear stole alone1 behind to see what
Farmer Brown's boy would do next.
After going a short distance Farmer
Brown's boy stopped, placed the little
box on on old log, took off the cover
and sat down. At once the Bees which
had been prisoners flew cut, circled
and, getting the right direction, flew
away. In a very short time they were
Hack, bringing other Bees with them.
Soon the line of busy workers was
started as before.
Then once more Farmer Brown's boy
made prisoners of some Bees in the
box, picked it up ?nd walked off with it
as before. But this time, instead of
walking along the direction of the lin?
of Bees, he walked off straight to the
right. After going a short distance he
let ihe Bees ?o as b?for<\ and soon he
oners fleiv out.
had a line of them flying from the lit?
tle box to the hollow tree.
Then Farmer Brown's hoy left the
little box where it was and walked in
the direction of this new line. Every
few steps he would look .un to try to
catch a glimpse of the nying bees.
Finally he reached a point where by
looking back in the direction of the
lirst line of Bees he could see the old
log on which he had had the little box
before moving it the last time. He
had reached a point where the two
lines crossed.
"That tree is right here somewhere,"
said he. "Bees always fly in a straight
lim?. Every time one left my little box
with a load of honey she flew straight
to her home. Therefore, that home
must be right near here."
Then Farmer Brown's boy began
looking in the trees for signs of a hol?
low which the Bees would be likely to !
use for a home. With his headT tipped
back he studied each tree in turn. At
last a grin ran all the freckles on his
face into one big freckle. 'Way up in |
the trunk of a tall tree was a bare
place where the bark had been stripped :
off. All around it the air was filled
with tiny moving specks going to and I
coming from it. Farmer Brown's boy
knew that right there that tree was
hollow, and that there must be a hole j
by which the Bees went in and out, for
he knew that those moving specks were
Bees.

Topcoat
Tailoring excellence, good taste and good
service are embodied in the "Manchester"' top?
coats.
They are Wanamakcr topcoats in every par?
ticular. - The materials are from a woolen house
that sells largely to the custom trade. We're cus?
tom tailors, and therefore can get these materials.
We selected about fifteen good patterns, mostly ex?
clusive herringbone stripes and very attJ-active
tweeds.
If you examine the "Manchester" closely you
will notice the thoroughness of every little detail
stitching, hand felled collars, the shoulders on which
so much of the ''hang" depends, the ?excellent silk
linings?everything that goes to make for the best
in tailoring. Cut on decidedly English lines, in knee
length, ?semi-fitting, the Manchester can be truly
called "the gentleman's coat."
