Assistant to O'Brien and;
Friend of Mayor Paid
$500 to Dry Agent for
Friends?, It Is Alleged I
Two Brothers Arrested
Revenue Man Declares They
Bad Counterfeit Stamps
WithEnforcers'Signatures
Joseph A. Solovei, Assistant Corpora?
tion Counsel in charge of the Brooklyn
branch Bureau of Street Opening?, and
a close friend of Mayor Hylan, was ar?
rested yesterday afternoon charged
with having bribed ."?n agent of the In?
ternal Revenue Bureau. He was ar?
raigned before United States Commis?
sioner Samuel Hitchcock and released
in $2,500 bail for a hearing Saturday
morning at 10:30.
It ?3 alleged that Solovei gave Frank
J. Seib, a special agent of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, $500 to induce Seih
to drop his investigation of Benjamin
and .* Ibert Gross.
The Gross brothers also were arrested
and held in $2,500 bail each for a
hearing at the same time as Solovei.
They are charged with conspiracy to
vic?ate the Volstead Act. They said
they were real estate men of Garden
City, LI,
Seib says that the Groas brothers had'
in their possession rubber stamps bear- ?
ing the counterfeit signatures of
Charles R. O'Connor, State Director of
Prohibition, and Julius Strenlan, Pro
m Director for Connecticut. These
signatures stamped on permits would
give one access to liquor in bonded
warehouses.
According to Seib and Assistant
United States Attorney David Cahill
the alleged bribe was paid in the
washroom of a restaurant on Lafay?
ette Street. It appears that Benjamin
Gross was in custody, ami that he tele?
phoned his brother Albert for aid. Ac?
cording to Mr Cahill Albert Gross be?
sought Solovei to use his influence
with 'he representative of the Bureau
of Intern.'? 1 Revenue.

housing situation by involved proceed?
ings in the court.-" were thwarted for
the fourth time yesterday >.y a de?
cision in the Supreme Court.
The decision by Justice Hotchkias
upholds; the power and validity of the
subpoenas by the Lockwood committee,
which had been attacked by Martin
Conboy, counsel for the Builders' Sup?
ply Bureau and the Association of
Dealers in Masons' Building Materials.
It practically prevents further legal
obstructions being thrown in the kva>
of the committee's inquiry.
Board Hears Contractor.?
Another development in the it quirj
was the examination of several con?
tractors by the Board of Estimate in
its independent investigation into tho
circumstances under which the city's
$02,000,000 worth of outstanding con?
tracts were marie. Four contractors
who did work on schoolhouses and
piers on Staten Island were heard in an
effort to determine if there was any
collusion in the submission of bids.
Nothing definite, however, was accom?
plished. '
Comptroller Craig refused to appear
at the hearing at all and Henry li.
Curran, Borough President of Manhat?
tan, walked out of the meeting after
denouncing the investigation, its meth?
ods anil purposes.
Frederick Tench, o? Terry A- Tench,
contractors on three of the city piers
on Staten Island, testified that in order
(o finance his contract of $8,252.673,
he expected to have to pay the bankers
a $50.000 bonus
T'n? jury that will try George S.
Backer, millionaire builder, indicted on
a charge of perjury in connection with
his testimony before the Lockwood
committee, was completed yesterday,
ar?d henceforth will be locked up each
night until it renders a verdict, The
taking of evidence will begin before
Judge Otto Rosalsky in General Sea
hior.s this morning.
The extraordinary grand jury au?
thorized by Governor Smith to consider

of the committee's inquiry was select?
ed yesterday, and will hear witnesses
beginning at 11 o'clock this morning.

executive session with t'tie Board of
Estimate in connection with the policy
to be adopted t safeguard ; ?ynient of
contracts pending an examination ol

-,.?> re made.
Martin Conboy had made a motion
before Justice Hotchkiss to vacate th<
subpoenas issue i by the i a ?? " ;i
committee requiring Miss Elizabeth
O'Dea, secretary of the Builders' Sup?
ply Bureau, und Secretary Treat of tin
Association of Dealers in Masons
Building Materials to appear before
the committtee with all the books o:
those organizations.
He he'd tnat toe subpoenas were toe
broad and violated the constitutional
rights of iiia clients in that the;.
amounted to a seizure of property.
Justice Hotchkiss's Opinion
Justice Hotchkiss Held that tin
power-- of tho joint legislative bodj
in the present, rase were quasi judicia
and that he had not the power to pie
-cribe what the committee could tit
with the papers or hooks produced. He
d d not think that the committee hat
stepped beyond the bounds of ?;- con
stitutioml or statutory tights.
In concluding his opinion Justict
Hotchkiss says: "If the petitione
feels aggrieved at the form of tin
subpoena let it present it< grievanct
to the committee. If its rights of per
son or property are violated over it:
objections it may have recourse tt
ihe courts. But so long as its consti
tutional or statutory rights are no
u vade ' I think the court may no

Governor Orders Martial Law
In West Virginia Mine Strike

CHARLESTON, W. Va., Nov. '.'.0.
Governor John J. Cornwell to-day de?
clared martial lav; In Mingo County,
where a strike of cal miners has A < ? ? ? r.
in progress since last May.
The Governor ?.h?1 been notified from
Williamson, county scat of Mingo

the provisional battalion of Federal
troop/ from Chillicothe, Ohio, hitd iH
sued a proclamation there forbidding
public assemblies, except such meet?

"To the end that the law shnll be re?
spected ami Ami disorder shall <<;?.?',??,!
huv? called upon t.h<: government of
the United States for assistance," Gov?
ernor Comwoll'a proclamation read.
"And until further notice the County
of Mingo will be under the direct
charge of the commanding general ?A
the Tith Army Corps area. who has full
power ?rid authority to ?etnblisb peace
end order In said county by such
means "<?? he i?ay deem beat In the |n.
tercet of good Jtov^rnrnent and the law*
of the land."
Tha Govern*??*? ?rocUr?*tto? *t*t?4
thai Mingo County was in a state of
Insurrection, and the citizens were en?
joined and commanded to disperse and
r?;.in- t?) their homes and to submit to
the law and the regularlj constituted
authority s.
The military authorities have taken
over the duties imposed upon them un
der t??" declaration of martial law, hut
the civil authorities continuo ?n their
capacities as advisory bodies and in?
di fid unis.
The Federal troop.; have been dis?
tributed throughout the district to

courthouse at Williamson.
Judge H. 1). Bailey? of Mingo Circuit

''Only th?? usual appropriation of

Millions From
State Budget
Imi?;?' Favors lieduciion to
1920 Basis, Which Means
Nearly 880.000.000 May
Be Slashed in Expenses
Useless Boards Musi Co
(General Ilousecleaiiing on
Economical Fanes Will
Be Effected After Jan. 1
Judge Nathan L, Miller's idea with
reference to the fiscal policy of the
?t?te will bo made known at an early
dal? in a letter to the state budget i
mak Ts. From what could be learned
yesterday, the bureau heads, who have ;
made request., which have tentatively !
swollen the budget from ?140,000,000 to I
ibout $220,000,000, will read something
'.hat will disconcert them.
Some: of the leaders who have talked
with Judge Miller say that he favors
rutting down the budget to the 1920
basis, which means that from $00,000,
000 to 580,000,000 will Lave to come ?? it :
of it.
Furthermore, Judge Miller, before he
assents to the presentation of next
year's budget, will make it clear to the
bureau heads that if they do not catch
the spirit of retrenchment and reform
will attend to the slashing himself.
ligures Are Assembled
The '? ?. n in ch; rge of the budget are
Senator Henry M, Sage, chairman of
ta<" Finance Committ:? oi the Senate;
and II. Edmund Machold, chairman of
the ways mid means of the assembly.
These oflicials under the law, ?ire
charged with the duty of assembl rig
the requests from the various commis?
sions and bureaus of the stale- govern?
ment. This they have done, and the
tentative figures are in the hands of
Judge .Miller, who. some year- back,
vat. State Comptroller, and is familiar
with state finances.
There is a strong probability that
with business slackening, the revenues
of the state, which approximated $120,
000 000 in the last year, also will
strink. Judge ?>Iil!er's counselors say
that he has a theory which he : going
to apply to tho budget, that w In re?
duced business there should be reduced
payrolls in every department. 'I here is
a strong probability that immediately
after the first of the year there will 1m;
an overhawling and accounting to the
ei tl thai various boards and commis?
sions which have not produced the
proper results will be abolished.
Among Judge Miller's callers were
Dock Commissioner Murray Hulbert,
George W, Aldridge, of Rochester;
Representative Bertrand H. Snell,
chairman of the executive committee
of the state committee; State Chair?
man George A. Glynn, Colonel L. R.
Gleason, Senator John Knight, of
Wyoming County; William 11. Coffey,
of Westchestcr, and Excise Commis?
sioner Sisson,
Miller Analyzes Figures
The greater part of the Governor
elect's time was given to an analysis
of the budget figures, city transporta?
tion and port development.
There is a growing probability that
there will he one Public Service Com?
mission instead of two, as at present,
and that its powers will be enlarged.
Representative Snell, who spent two
hours with Judge Miller, said last
night:
"1 am convinced that Judge Miller is
determined to bring about drastic re?
forms, with the abolition of useless
bureaus and commissions and the re?
duction of payrolls. Fortunately for
the state, he knows as much as any
one about its needs. He has talked
with hundreds of men and women since
election and many of the business men
have assured him that the people ex?
pect him to get away from the war
basis of doing things and get the state
government down to hard-headed, busi?
nesslike ways. I believe he will do
that very thing."

GENEVA, Nov. 29.- The Tribune
correspondent is authorized to an
r.ouncc that the command of the Ar?
menian expeditionary force proposed
by General Sir Frederick Morris, o:
Great Britain, to the special c? mmittee
of the League of Nation-, probably will
be offered to Major General Leonard
Wood.
A. is the unanimous agre? inenl o. 1 e
members ?A the committee, of
??' h.? h Lord Robert Ce? . : chaii t.. m,
and which will select the command?
ing genera!, t'nut Genera! Wood i> the
i ios ! likely candidate.
This committee was charge?,! by the
ieague ?Assembly with finding -, .? tc
lave Armenia. Lord Robert applied to
?csponsible British quarters for the
best available man to advise on Ar?
menian affairs and General .Morris
v,,".s designated iur (his purpose. He,
with General Weygand, was asked to
report. His rec? mmei dation, placed
before the committee on Saturday,
provides, among other things, for an
Armenian force directed by officers
and non-commissioned officers of the
Allied armies who saw service in the
gieaf war,
Supported by General Morris
The proposal to make General Wood
leader of the Armenian force is sup?
ported by General Morris, who A
designated as the committee's military
adviser.
Under th" plans us outlined to th*
committee General Wood would b<
made High Commissioner for Armenii
and would occupy a position similar tc
that of Sir Reginald Tower in Danzig
The league would instruct Genera
Wood on the general Armenian policj
and otherwise leave him to act with ??
free hand. lie would be nsked to mak?
Armenia strong enough to defend her
self, but to restrain her from becomiii)
too aggressive in her turn.
The Tribune corresponden! under
stands that the chief argument :;-:
vanced in the committee in Genera
Wood's favor ?.'.'ere that he ?a an ex
ceilent officer and that he is one o
the few roe: o? the necessary exper;
UV1 require i for such a posi who i
a physician. One of the most difilcul
[ions of the Armenian problem :
thai of health and sanitation, and it i
that Genera! Wood': at?'; ty an
? ??? i ence will do much toward solv
ing this question. In the present si!
nation thousands of refugees hnv
been driven together in districts wit'
nadequate housing and sanitation
i ? ?ral Wood solved such a' prob -i
in Cuba and demonstrated his abilit
for organization. His high quaiitie
also were shown during the U'orl
? War.
Respected by Armenian??
j It is said that General Wood a!?
would command the respect of the Ar
menions aiftt the volunteer officei
ser?, ing under him
All that i1? needed by the Cecil cot?
! mittee is sufficient money to begin th
?organization of the \r ? ian f.
If a guaranty of $"0,000,000 is fortr
coming the app? ?itmeni Gene!
Wood us high commissioner, i h
should decide to accept it, may onl
be ;i question of day?. In case of hi
acceptance he would b? asked to a

It is understood that Geneva! Morri
in his report to the Cecil committo

there into the interior. The?, desir

The attack, when the thousands
p uring out of 'I ?.? cathedral after the

the British flag on one o? the club
staffs, was a manifestation of crowd
psychology, the Archbishop said, but
he had also a word to say about flags.
''1 can recall," he sad, "that not
