Grand Jury to Seek Collusioii Iii School Sites Craig to Present Charges Against Shallow and Hy? lan Officials in Brooklyn and Demand" Inquiry Mayor Has Nothing to Say _______________ Comptroller Uneerlain if Board of Education Man Is "Stupid or Knavish" Charges of alleged collusion in the selection of a public school site cn Neptune Avenue, Coney Island, will be investigated by a grand jury. Comp? troller Charles L. Craig, who mad o the charges nt the last. meeting of the. Sinking Fund Commission and incurrcd the wrath of Mayor Hylan and Edward B. Shallow, Associnte Superintendent of Schools, who has charge of building operations of the Board of EduCation, made the an..ounccment last night. "This matter calls for a grand jury investigation," said the Comptroller. "All of the information in my posses? sion relative to the school site at Twenty-ninth Street and Neptune Ave? nue, Coney Island, selected by A.so ciate Superintendent Shallow for the Board of Education, will be turned over to the District Attorney of Kings County Monday. I am taking it to the Brooklyn District Attorney, because I believe he has jurisdiction, but, to make sure, it is quite possible that 1 may present the data to District At? torney Swann also." Hylan Stops Talking The .furor created in Hylan admin? istration circles by the Comptroller's charges was tempered yesterday by the silence of Mayor Hylan and other city officinls, who declared at the last meet? ing of the Sinking Fund Commission that they had personally visited the Neptune Avenue sites and found the situation as Dr. Shallow had stated it?that the city-owned land, which the Comptroll.r said should be u.ed for the site instead of paying $80,000 for a site on private property, was under water. Unofficial investigators who looked over the district yesterday main? tained that the lay of the land was exactly as the Comptroller contended, and that there was ample room for several school sites on property filled in by the city. The Comptroller's offiee is interested in the circumstances surrounding th.' selection of other school sites, asid_ from the Coney Island sites. Comp? troller Craig directed severe criticism at the Board of Education on the selec? tion of sites, and particularly at Asso ciate Superintendent Shallow. "I don't pretend to say wh.ther Shallow is stupid or knavish," said the Comptroller, "but in either event his action in seler.ting certain sites is in defensible." Need Ladder to Reach Sites The Comptroller referred to two sites selected at 170th Street and Grant Avenue, the Bronx, both of which he said were twenty feet or more below grade, so that "you would have to use a ladder to get out of the school play ground." He said that one of these sites was "sinking ground," with no bottom, as far as any one knew. He declared there were Oth-er available and more u.eful sites in the neighborhood. The Comptroller told of another in stance where the residents of Rosedale, L. I., located at the border line of the city, in Queens, wanted their school en larged, and, despite the fact that there was vacant and available land on either side of the school, the Board of P^duca tion selected a site nn the opposite side of Merrick Road. The Comptroller said that he eommunicated with real estate operators interested in a development at Rosedale. nnd found that they would be willing to give the city a aehool site in their development free of charge.

"I Saw Judgo &?i! Kagy, but ShieldecT Him," Girl Swears Witness in Cleveland Murder Trial Says McGannon Coached Her on Story at a Midnight Meeting Speciat Dispatch to T)w. Tribune CLEVELAND, June 17.?Every detail of a midnight conference in a hotel here, at which Miss Mary Neely claims Judge McGannon induced her to refuse to testify against him in hia second trial for the murder of Harold Kagy, raas laid bare before the jury in Judge Florence Allen's Criminal Court this morning, when Misa Neely took the stand in the trial of McGannon for nerjury. "I saw Judge McGannon shoot Harold Kagy," said the witnesa. This statement was especially start ling in view of the fact that in all of her previous statementa concerning the shooting she had gone no further than to say she saw McGannon "pull some? thing shiny from his pocket," after which she had heard a shot. Miss Neely's repeated assertion that McGannon was present at the death corner was borne out by the testimony of John Joyce, who preceded her on the stand. Calm and self-possessed, Miss Neely related the occurrenccs on that night in February when, she charges, through McGannon's interference the state's murder case against him was practi? cally wrecked by her promise to refuse to give damaging testimony. The testimony she gave at McGan? non's first trial when she said she saw him shoot Kagy?the testimonv she refused to fjive at his second trial when he was acquitted?she swore to? day was true. Tn minutest detail the woman traced McGannon's movements on the fatal night. She denied that he left the automobile before it reached the death corner, and a severe cross-examination by Attorney William H. Boyd for the defense failed to shake i any of the major parts of her testi- I niony. Her refusai to testify in the second j trial, when she surprised state's attor- ! neys and spectators by denying Me- I Gannon'3 guilt, and by ref'using to I answer other questions put to her by Prosecutor Stanton, she swore came as a direet result of the conferonce with McGannon on the previous night in the hotel. "Judge McGannon started to tell me how to avoid answering the questions asked by the prosecutor," she said. "He said, 'Start out, Judge McGannon did not kill Harold Kagy.' Then I asked him what to say to the prose cutor's questions. He told me to say, ! '1 don't remember,' and also to say, 'I : refuse to answer because l might dis grace or incriminate myself.' "I asked him td go over U again and he did." Wadsworth In 20% Bonus Mortgage Co. (Centlni/.d from pat- . n?i mortgage* war. from 2 per cent up, meaning in addition to the 6 per cent interest. "All legal and business matters of the Smoot Corporation," aatd one of the prospectuses, "have been investi? gated and approved by General Counsel Charles D. Newton, Attorney General of the State of New York." "Don't you coitsider," asked . Mr. Untermyer, "20 per cent and Upward on mortgage loans a great burden on construction?" "It would be.'sfr," repli.d Hunt. "but our rates are not 20 per cent. They are from 10 to 20 p_r cent, depending on?-_e t*ra, w?_g*g mortgage." "ffjaz*. |NM_y P^Mtij-CctUses show your PfC. v. g.t-g ;'v.m 20 per cent up," re? plied Mr. Untermyer. It was figured out'that the 6 per cent interest and the 20 per cent bonus for a thive-year mortgage averaged a return of about 16 per cent a year. It is known that Attorney General Newton had been in conference with Mr. Untermyer here yesterday, and it is believed that the mortgage loan oom pany was the subject of the conver? sation. The plnster monopoly was shown to be one ,of the strangest and strongest in the entire range of combinations uncovercd by the committee. Accord? ing to the testimony of William H. Hoffman, offiee manager of the Niagara Gypsum Company, the national control of gypsum, which is the chief in gredient of wall plaster, was in the grip of two companies, the United States Gypsum Company, of Chicago, and the Niagara Gypsum Company. The. Chicago concern, he said, supplies the bulk of {he countryrs plaster needs, with the Niagara company taking care of tho Eastern district. From H*W man's testimony it was shown that Menno ... Reeb, a Buffalo buildjng sup? ply dealer, owned with his frfmily the controlling share of stock in the Niagara concern. Gypsum Combine Uncovered The Niaga_ra company, which mined the product, sold the bulk of it to the Peerless Purchasing Sales Company, a theoretical concern which had neither books nor clerks, but which Mr. Unter? myer in. isted served merely to conceal the profits of the Niagara company. The controlling factor in this concern was also Reeb. The Peerless firm merely billed the material to the M. A. Reeb Corporation, a wholesale concern of which Reeb was also the moving power, which in turn turned the product over to the Niagara Falls Builders' Supply Company, a re? tail firm. Reeb, according to the testi? mony, is also the biggest power in the last named company. The officers of all these occupied three floors of one building and one set of employees kept all the records. From Hoffman, ? Mr. Untermyer learned that there was a boost in price every time the goods were nassed from cn<; of thes. firms to the other. Reeb's profits, on the basis of the cost of mining the product, is said to have been about 700 per cent. Without. rendeving the slightest serv? ice, according to the testimony, the Peerless Company in 1D1. divided $._, 121 in profits, and in 1920 divided $139,846 in profits. Figures introduced showed that the price of $3.40 a ton for gypsum at. the mine became $18 when it finally reached Reeb's retailing! firm. It was declared that there were j practically no other sources in the east from which to obtain the product.) When Reeb was placed on the st?u.d j some days ago and asked if he would | waive immunity from criminal prost.--' cution, he shouted out at the top of hi. I vaice, "I should say not." In closing the inquiry here, Mr. Un? termyer declared the evidence did notj show all the work that had to be done; that the city was honeycombed with combinations affiliated with nation wide organizations which could be reached only through Federal action. tt Nobettercandy can be made Choicest materials, modern methods, skilled candy mak? ers, and care in the making are the factors responsible for United Happiness Candy success.

CONVENIENTIA* LOCATED wsz Deutschland ls Sunk At Target Practice CHERBOURG, France, June 17 (By The Associated Press).? The former German super-subma rine Deutschland, which in 1916 siipped into Baltimore Harbor from Germany after daringly running the gantlet of British and French cruisers standing guard off the Virginia Capes, was sunk by gunfire to-day dnring target practice. The submarine had served as a target for a series of submarine attack experiments carrierl out by the French ar mored cruiser Gueydon, seven miles off shore. The combinations should be prosecuted by the local authorities and their lead? ers punished. He said that the cost of fire insurance should be reduced at least 25 per cent. If this group does riot dissolve or mend its ways, he said, he would prosecute the members for criminal conspiracy. He touched upon the loan market, declaring that unless the banks were more liberal in their loans on building the situation would be very little improved. Poison Kills Nurse WhoBalkedDoctors" Efforts to Save Her Phoned Wife of Physician She Is Declared to Have Loved After Taking Po tion, Police Are Told Alice Julia Carrahan, twenty-four years old, a trained nurse, said to have come to New York from Canada two years ago, died last night at the Man? hattan Square Sanitarium, 36 West Seventy-seventh Street, of mercurial poisoning. Dr. James M. West, of 71 WestForty ninth Street, reported the death. Po? lice of the West Sixty-eighth Street station described the case as one of suicide. Miss Carrahan took bichloridc of mercury tablets last rsunday with suicidal intent, the police say, and from then to the moment of her death fought against efforts of physician3 to save her life. According to the police Miss Carra? han became infatuated, while engaged as a nurse at the Knickerbocker Hos? pital, with a surgeon said to have been attached to a hospital staff. The doc tor's wife learned of the affair, it was declared, and rc-proa.hed Miss Carra? han, who is said to have admitted her affection for the doctor. Last Sunday Miss Cajrahan called the telephone number of the physician. The summons was arjswered by his wife, who was informed by the nurse that she had taken poiaon and would soon be dead. The wife immediately called Dr. j West, a neighbor, also notifying the ! authorities of Knickerbocker Hospital, : whence an ambulance was dispatched to Miss Carrahan's apartment, 130 Wesr. ! Seven ty-third'Street. Four doctors worked over the girl for j several hours in an effort to use the j stomach pump, but she fought so des- ' perately that it was found impossible ! to take effective means for elimination | of the poison. At the instance of the j doctor's wife Miss Carrahan was re- | moved to the sanatorium, where, de- I spite unremitting effort to save her, ' she sank into a coma, which ended in j death. Prohibition To Be Enf orced bv State Directors Plan for Reorganization of I Dry Enforcement Is Laid; Before Senators; to Abol- ] ish Many Snpervisors Would Cut "Red Tape" Present Scheme of Field Foife To Be Abandoned to Consolidate Activity * ? ??". WASHINGTON, June 17.?Prohibi tion enforcement ofiicials have com? pleted a program for the reorganiza tion of the Federal enforcing units and revision of enforcement methods. The .-.uggested changes, which include abol ishment of about half of the super visory jobs and the establishmcnt of a system of state directors, to be held wholly responsible for enforcement and administrative work, were submitted to-day by Prohibition Commissioner Haynes to Chairman Penrose and Sena? tor Watson, Republican, Indiana, of the Senate Finance Committee. Senators who studied the plans de? clared the changes would tighten the lid on liquor and would result also la a saving in the money cost of enforc ing the Volstead act. Mr. Haynes and Commissioner Blair. of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, who had approved the program, explained to the Senators that they had sought t? eliminate "red tape" and make the enforcement corps mn-o Tosoonsive to its various duties. Mr. Haynes said it had been "clearly demonstrated after a thorough trial'' that the present plan of organization of the field force should be abandoned. He wanted, he said. a centralized authority, coordination in the handling of permissive and enforcement feat? ures and elimination of uncertainty, fnction aiid confusion as a result of present. methods. In addition to the creation of a singl. enforc_m?nt and administrattve : irnit for each of the states, Mr. Hayn*. ' proposed aboliahment of the offices of f .upervising Federal prohibition ag?nt= eliminstion of prohibition inspectors' and the desiimation of al] enforcing i and adminis.rative officers nnder th. stst. directors to "logical and aeces- ! ?ible" locations, creatfon of a mobile field force, organi__d to operate directly under the Federal Commissioner, and : the consol idation of a]] records to svojd duplication and, at the same time, to provide a closer check on leak. ? which may b? sprung in the liquor *uPPlV- ? Mr. Haynes s reorgan.zation pro? gram was worked out on the as.ump tion that the prohibition unit will re? main in the Treasury Departr.en*, jt was said. The proposed changes, it was added, had tbe approval of e-.?ry officer, both in the bureau and in ;_,? field work oi enforcement.

The House formally sent the bill to conference. This was done without de? bate. Representatives Porter and Rogers were named as the Republicans and Representative Flood as th_ Demo crat on the conference committee. It was decided to call the full confer? ence committee together next week. The meeting, however, will await the return to the city of Senator Lodge, who goes to Harvard to attend th.
