counts. He is accused of attempting

Sseventh and Thirty-eighth streets. The
? second churls that he attempted to
,! i m ?ney by threaten ing to cull a

? charges that Brindell threatened to
pu . it i-r dus from obtaining compc

?building for whom the particular job

Franklin Nevius, attorney for Fradus,
? ami Fradus himself.
. The circumstances surrounding the
? <*rime charged in the indictment were'
nearly ail disclosed ?-t the hearing of
?J the committee on November 28. At
Mi at tmi.e Fradus declared that his
..- ? .?. had been ruined by
Brindell and that he eventually was
di i ven into bankruptcy. He said that
Brindell demanded $25,000, and when
he refased to give up he could get no I
mor?; wrecking contracts ?rom the larg
construction ccmnanies because the..
informed him they could not do busi
?< ness with any one who did n -t sign an
.igreoment with Brindell as to the em?
ployment of men agreeable to the labor
I? ad or.
He testified that he at last gave
Brindell $1,000 for the agreement ro
1 erred to.
$7,500 Deal Cited
The $7,500 controversy, he said,
grew out of a contisct he had drawn
up on February 13 to do demolition
and'excavation work on a building for
the Garment Center Realty Company
j.t the Seventh Avenue address. He
^i.id he had t,fty steam shovels nt work
ard had purchased numerous trucks,
v hen suddenly all the engineers were
called off by "Brinde!!.
He went to see the labor leader at 12
St. Mark s Place. Brindell, he said, in?
sisted on seeing h,s contract When
Fradus refused to show it Brinde!
?id, according to testimony, "Well,
you wiil never do this job" "I asked
him," continued Fradus, "what was the
troub e, and he said: 'You know this
organization is not run on eha k. 1
want you to produce $'25.000 if you
went to go ahead with this job.-'
Fradus said he saw he "was up
against it" and he went to see Frank?
lin Nevius. his attorney, who was un
able to help matters.
Fradus said he then went *o C'ark.

Tells of Faying $1,000
The circumstances surrounding the
| alleged payment of $1,000 to Brendel)
'' are told by Fradus as follows:
Q.~ You say you found you were up
against it? A.?1 found I was up
against it. 1 had a big organization,
fifty automobiles, ana everything was
taken away from me: I had to pay
bills and notes came due; I was not
?ihie to pay. 1 had to sell out my stuff
t?< make everything good, and 1 found
n ysi If up against it, seeing that 1
: cculd not get any work in New York
to pay anything.
t?. Did you tell him you were up
against it ? A. 1 did.
Q. -What did he say? A.?I said:
""What did I ever do to you that y u
threw me out of business?" He said:
"You know this place has got to get a
little money, and you have to he a good
leP.ow to get anything out of here, rait
of this office." 1 was figuring on a job
in Sixty-fourth Street for the Fradus
font i acting Company. After I get
through and lost everything my son
went into a little business for himself,
and he formed a little company in New
York, and 1 am working for him, trying
p i, ale a living. I went to Brindell,
and ne did not know anything about
that. So I said: "1 am figuring en n
job with the Underpinning Foundation
Company, Will you classify me to do
: ? kind -if work?" He .--aid: "What
do you mean?" I said: "I want the
excavating down there.''
tj. lin-, big a j"ii was that? A. --
About $30.000. He say-: "Yes, pro?
vided you will produce" i said: "What
do you mean'." He said: "Give me a
thousand dollars and 1 will give you a
le te?."
Q. Hid you pay the thousand dol?
lars? A. -1 did; 1 paid in one-hun
dred-dollnr bills the;- and r.o;-e.
Q. When and where was this? A.
T?i ht in St. Mark's Place, right in his
Oil ce.
'I he Brindell indictment had been
he d off, it was explained, because of
the committee's great cat? in the prep?
aration of his cas? and the desire to
c'.uso up the charges,against ?very ave?
nue of attack. It was also necessary
so to cordato the thirty-odd charcos
against the labor lender that in effect
they would support each ?Plier.

Mr. Mooney. "He is mot a professional
briber or bribe taker. He was one of
the first to expose the tiue conditions j
as to the building situation."
Judge M'tlqucen argticd that the I
identity of the person to whom Backer
paid $?"?,000 to have a strike called was j
material, He refused to allow the de- j
murrcr on this point, whereupon
Mooney entered a plea of not guilty.
Argument on the d^to of the trial was ?
fixed for this morning.
The Mayor in his letter to Unter-'
rayer yesterday pointed out that the 1
Board of Estimate investigation was
authorized after the Lockwood com?
mittee had announced its inability to
go ahead with the inquiry into all city
contracts. He asserted that the new
inquiry would be "most rigid and
starching," and that "if collusion or:
fraud should be shown in the award?
ing of any contract, no matter where
the trail might lead, the fullest jnstice
would be meted to the guilty man or
men."
Newest Hylan Letter
The Mayor's letter reads:
"Your letter to me under date of
.November 16, 1071Q, is the meanest col?
lection of insincere expressions that
have thus far been presented by you
to me.
" You know it, I know it and sooner
or later the whole public will thor?
oughly understand what is moving you
to such despicable attacks on me.
"You cannot have forgotten that at
the joint conference of the Board of Es?
timate and Apportionment and the Lock
wood committee on Monday P-st. No?
vember 15, when you staleu: 'The Lock
wood committee has neither the power
nor the wish to undertake the duties
that devolve upon the officials of the
City of New York.' a resolution was
adopted by the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment, without objection from
you or the committee, that the Hoard -,f
Estimate would proceed to make its
own investigations into the letting >f
any city conttr.ets that might be under
any possib e suspicion of fraud.
"You cannot pretend to have ?for?
gotten that the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment inv ted you tj conduct
tais investigation in person. Y?.u can?
not pretend to ! ave forgotten that you
declined this "invitation.
Committee Volunteered Aid
"You must remember that you also
pave us a reason that the Lockwood
committee's investigation into the
questions of labor and material com?
binat ons was of more immediate im?
portance, and that you volunteered to
aid the Board of Estimate and Appor?
tionment in its invest gation by sub?
mitting to it all ?lata in your posses?
sion relating to city contracts or such
other information that would come to
yo'i from t:me to time.
"Now, suddenly, without the letst.
justification in the world, you turn
around and attack the good faith of
the entire Board of Estimate and Ap?
portionment and the Law Department
of the city. Of course, very shrewdly,
all of your attacks are by inference
on'y, but you try to create the false
mpression that the Law Department
of this city will not conduct an open
nnd fearless examination as to whether
there was fraud or* collusion in the
granting of contracts by the city.
? i e people o- au Cuy o? .- a' York
rightfully have the fullest confidence
in the law department of the city by
reason particularly of its suce?. ?sriP
conduct against the traction interests
f the 5 cent fare litigation, through
every court Up to and including the
Court of Appea's; the legal battles to
; rotect the 80-cent gas rat" status; the
telephone rate inquiry now in prog?
ress; the litigation involving the New
York Cent-al Railroad's occupation of
? city property on the West Side of Man
hattan; the investigation before the
? Hoard of Estimate and Apportionment
: of street railways and -T.pid transit
conditions and thi* successful conduct
? ' f many other complex lawsuits ana
? proceedings.
"No one has so far made any attach
| on the honest. ? and loyalty of the law
department of this city under this
i administration. Ever you do not dare
! do :t except by the mean but carefully
; guarded inferences carried in your
j letter.
"Irrespective of anything you have
f:aid, I '-o, mnly declare that the Cor?

I rigid nnd searching investijration. and
j if collusion or fraud .shoul* be show;
i in the awarding of any contract, i.o
' matter where the trail may lend, th-'
i fullest justice will be meted to thj
i guilt man or men.
"The next time you? start to write a
vicious letter to me try to keep in mind
some idea of fair play and decency.
? You know very well that 1 am and al

, your committee and testify without
reservation. Your intimation that you
are 'waiting on me' is U2> false as the

Harding Still
Uncertain on
Mexican Visit
Senator Will Decide To-day
Whether He Will Accept
Obregon's Invitation to
Stop Over at Vera Cruz
Creager Urged as Envoy
Texans Confident Host of
President-Elect Will Be
Ambassador to Mexico
From a Staff Correspondent
BAY CITY, Tex., Kov 17 (On Board
.Senator Harding's special train bound
for New Orleans).--Traveling along
the Gulf Coast railroad, sometimes in
sight of the waters of the Gulf of
Mexico upon which he will be afloat
to-morrow, Senator Harding had plenty
of opportunity to-day to reflect on his
forthcoming visit to Mexico to call
upon his recently discovered amigos,
Don Alvaro Obrcgon and Provisional
President de la Huerta. If the Presi?
dent-elect of the United States wanted
to utter his reflections aloud or at least
whisper them into sympathetic ears
there were available those of R. B.
Creager, host of the Hardings during
their visit to the magic valley of the
Kid Grande, where the natives know
t. i eager as the Red Fox. These same
natives have convinced themselves that
Creagfer is going to be the next Am?
bassador to Mexico as a reward for his
preconvention work on behalf of Sen?
ator Harding.
However that may be, Mr. and Mrs.
Creager were aboard the train, having
accepted an invitation to go to Panama,
an invitation extended a few days ago
as if to prove that there were no hard
feelings for the unadvertised mosqui?
toes that bit the ankles of the next
President and the next first lady of
the land; nor chill memories of the
biting cold of the norther that sent the
*ip.n away from Point Isabel and ma?
rooned the vacationists for three days
il a villfige of discomfort and unpala?
table food.
Cattle Herds Mark Route
There was nothing along the route
to distract Senator Harding if he cared
.1 nev?te itis thoughts to Mexico.
Through the windows of the private
car his eyes roved over a vast expanse
of level grazing land desolate except
or beef cattle, Texas longhorns that
lad outgrown the markings of their
white-faced Hereford sires.
Governor and Mrs. W. P. Hobby and
members of the Governor's staff left
ae special train at Kingsville, Tex.,
for a visit to the King ranch and a
.?ste of a side of Texas life that the
eoplc of Texas regret that Senator
'' vding was not permitted to see dur?
ing his present visit. The King ranch,
i . example, embraces more than a
miliion acres of land and countless
head of horses and cattle.
but to re.urn to the proposed visit
to old Mexico: It was said to-day by
uoorge ij. Christian jr., Secretary to
Pena: m- Harding, that it wolHtl be
known definitely to-morrow when the
patty reached Baton Rouge, La.,
whether it will be possible for Sen
r Harding to stop over in Vera Cruz
It is understood that the directors of
United Fruit Eine have been re?
quested to make arrangements tor the
steamship Parismina, on which Senator
Harding will travel to the canal zone
to add Vera Cruz to the list of the
hip's ports of call, for this voyage.
and as the request comes from th
'resident-elect of the United States,
t is net like y to b<: refused.
Obregon Sends Special Invitation
It is now understood that Elias Tor
.-.-, secretary to the Minister of For?
eign Affairs, who brought the invitation
to Senator Harding to attend the in
uguration of General Obregon, handed
the American President-elect a letter
'':?-"?-. ?he Mexican President-elect urg?
ing him to accept the invitation, a letter
that Senator Harding probably will an
swer immediately.
? "p-a' in New Orleans to?
morrow morning Senator Harding will
. ,-.? ui, . -, to the Hotel Grune?
wald. He will deliver an address be?
fore the Association of Commerce, at?
tend a reception at the Elks lodg?
and then go aboard his ship.
The speech he will deliver in Nev
Orleans was written during those col
days when he was unable to go out ii

'Irish Inquiry
? To Open To-day
In Washington
! Acting Mayor of Balbriggan
and Dudley Field Malone
Among First To Be Heard
by Commission of Seven
-_
New Association in U. S.
British Embassy Declines
Invitation for Representa?
tion at the Hearings
-.
? WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.?Irish lead
; ers from over the country to-day com
i pleted organization of "the American
? Association for the recognition of the
Irish Republic." At the same time the
[ commission of seven from the com
"niitteo of 100 investigating the Irish
! cuesti?n laid plans for opening its
; hearings to-morrow, with two witnesses
' direct from Ireland on the stand.
i The hearings of the commission were
I to have started to-day, but receipt of
1 information that John Durham, Acting
i Mayor of Balbriggan, and Dennis Mor
i pan, of Thurles, would be ready to tes
I tify to-morrow, resulted in the post
I ponement. Dudley Field Malone, for
I mer customs collector at New York,
j also is on the list of witnesses for to
| morrow, and after his appearance on
the stand he is expected to sit at the
? hearings as the attorney for the Amer?
ican commission on Irbh independence.
Britain Won't Re Represented
The Bri ish Embassy will not be rep?
resented at the commission's hearings
foimal dec: ?valion of the c mmission's
| invitation hnving ! een forwarded b ?
? the embassy to-day to O.-awaid Garrison
: Villard, of New York, editor of The
i Nation, who appointed the committee
l of 100. In declining to send a repre
1 si ntative to the hearings, the embassy
' declared it could not approve the pur
! poses of the inquiry and expressed the
j Leiief that the only result would be the
: spreading of propaganda.
The embassy also informed the com
? mittee, through Mr. Villard, that, while
'the British government would not with
j hold passports from any person wish
< in^c to appear^before the committee, it
\ must be understood that the British gov?
ernment could not undertake to guar
! antee the safety of witnesses from
! personal attacks ami violence at the
hands of Sinn F?iners or loyalists upon
i their return to England and Ireland.
Doubts Benefits of Inquiry
The embassy added its conviction
i that it would ( be impossible for the
committee to gather any evidence of
value that could not be more readily
obtained through "the. ordinary agen?
cies of publicity which operate unob?
structed in England and Ireland."
The organization formed by Irish
; sympathizers after a conference with
Eamon de Va'era, president of the
provisional Irish republic, was said to
be designed to supplant tie Friends of
Irish Freedom as the leading Irish
independence organization in the
country.
I It is the purpose to form affiliated
organizations in every state in the
Union, and directors to head these
organizations were elected.
Edward L. Doheny, of Los Angeles,
who presente?! the minority resolution
for recognition of Ireland at the
Democratic National Convention at.
San Francisco last June, was elected
president of tho new organization.
! Tho vice-presidents are Judge John j
j W. Goff, of New York; John J.
S Castolline, of Cincinnati,, and Major;
' Eugene Kinkead, of Jersey City; John j
J. Hearn, of Westiield, Mass., is treas
! urer, and Daniel C. O'Flaherty, of
Richmond, Va., secretary.
The oflice- of tho Irish inquiry com-.
I niission announced to-night that plans
' had been perfected to send a sub
I committee to Ireland soon to make a
first hand investigation. The person
I nel of the committee will be unnounced
| later. The project resulted, it was
said, from invitations to send such a
j commission received by the commis?
sion in a round robin signed by British
labor party leaders, including Arthur
Henderson. Robert Smillie, William
Anderson and others, and similar pro?
posals from the Irish Catholic hier?
archy and numerous persons prominent
in Protestant Ireland.
British Labor Manifesto
Urges Peace in Ireland
LONDON, Nov. 17.?The executive
committee of the Parliamentary Labor
party has issued a manifesto signed by
Arthur Henderson, William C. Adam
son and John R. Clynes, calling upon
the Labor party throughout the coun?
try to take more active steps to secure
the withdrawal of all the armed
' forces from Ireland and the election
I by proportional representation of a
constituent assembly charged with the
task of working out whatever consti
I tution the Irish people desire in order
| to settle their own affairs, provided
I proper protection is accorded to minor
j ?ties and Ireland is prevented from be?
coming a military or naval menace to
Great Britain.
The manifesto explains that this
action is taken b-ca :se of the hope?
lessness of "expecting anything from
| n Parliament dominated by a mechan
i ical government majority." It an?
nounces that the party lias decided to
conduct a great national campaign t)
: enlighten the British public on what
j s happening*in Ireland, and also to
- appoint, a commission to visit Ireland
and investigate the government's
I policy and methods.
