The reconstruction of the murder of

Busses Ran on
Political P?ll,
Inquiry Finds
Shearn Makes Clear That
Big Idea Was Easy Cash
for Good Tammanyites ;
Lynch Gets a Grilling
Inspector Henry's
Wife Beneficiary
Had Permit on "Cream"
Line While He Was Sus?
pended Without Salary
The Transit Commission's Investi?
gation of the operation of the Hylan
Whalen busses developed further
proof yesterday that the big idea of
the controlling powers is to exploit
the system for the benefit of Tammany
proteges.
Clarence J. Shearn, counsel for the
commission, grilled Thomas F. Lynch,
a former brewery collector, with the
result that it became increasingly
clear that political pull was para?
mount at every stage of th?? game.
Lynch had difficulty in remembering
the simplest outstanding fact with any
degree of definiteness. He ia the col?
lector ?or three busses, ostensibly his
own, and three financed by John A.
McCarthy, Charles F. Murphy's busi?
ness associate.
Kept No Books
'? Although Lynch was doing a busi?
ness so profitable that he could pay off
! instalments of $600 a month on his
' three busses he swore that he kept no
! books. He produced a check book with
! the stubs and checks numbered from
| 200 upward and when Mr. Shearn
? asked him why he didn't bring the
'. record of earlier ones he couldn't tell
1 whether he had ever had any .other
| check book.
, Dominick Henry, police inspector,
i while under suspen ion two years ago
'did not have to worry about subsis?
tence because Commissioner Wha'cn
i gave his wife, Mary C. Henry, a permit
! to run a bus in Eighty-sixth Street
1 that cleaned up a tidy profit on the
[ "cream" line. The inspector's memory
* was a bit uncertain until Mr. Shearn
: suggested that it would be better for
I him to remember outstanding details
I and avoid bringing Mrs. Henry down
|to the inquiry.
I Frederick A. Grein, of Englewood,
I N. J., a young insurance broker, who
? split his commission 50-60 with
j Sinnott & Canty, the insurance brok
j ers who flourished from the inception
I of their in urance adventure last July,
| had a bad hour on the stand. James
Paul Smnoit, of the fiirm, is a son of
i James P. Sinnott, Commissioner of the
j Board of Water Supply, and a brother
j of John P. Sinnott, son-in-laW and sec
j rctary of Mayor Hylan. Grein had
'? visited the office of a lawyer for the
Sinnott & Canty firm and had pre?
pared a lengthy affidavit covering what
! he wished to say. Mr. Shearn took
j time to read it through and then dis
j regarded its contents, insisting upon
answers in detail with reference to the
split on business that did not call for
any division.
For Political Favorites
Following the testimony of Inspector
j Henry, Mr. Shearn said:
"Mr. Henry's testimony illustrates
? the poini s that I have been trying to
i make of the use that is made of these
j lines. They a*re available as a berth
! for a police inspector indicted and
j under suspension?available for politi
! cal favors. The whole thing is a mat
! ter of favoritism."
Lynch was the first witness. He said
he had been in various businesses, but
that his last occupation, before becom
j ing a bus proprietor, was that of a
j collector for a. brewery, and before
'that he was an excise inspector.
Whenever Mr. Shearn, whose manner
i is brisk, raised his voice and sVot the
i questions rapidly Lynch tried his best
| to keen abreast, thus:
Q.?When you became a brewery col?
lector what did you do? A.?Various
things.
Q.?Can't *-ou spec'fy particularly?
A.?Collected for C. H. Evans & Sons,
brewers.
Q.?But when you were not a brew
j ery cvUector what were you doing?
A.?I collected reui-s ?or a father-in
law of mine.
Q.?What else did you do besides
collect rents and collect for a brewery?
! A.?I don't know. I might have done
anything to make a little money.
Q.?How long before you went into
the bus business did you cease being
a brewery collector? A.?I don't just
know now.
Q.?Was it a matter of some months?
A.?Pcssibly; yes.
Q.-?-What were you doing in the
meantime? A.?I was studying-the bus
business.
Q.?After you completed your course
of studies in the bus business you came
into contact with Mr. John A. McCar?
thy, didn't you? A.?Yes, sir.

fRevised Rules Assured
Canadian Skipper Shortens
Sail as Rival Snaps Mast;
Fishermen Seek Control
By Frederick B. Edwards
GLOUCESTER, Mass., Oct. 26.?Fol?
lowing the victory of the Canadian
schooner Bluenose ofer the Henry
Ford in the third race of the fisher?
man's series to-day, a special match
was arranged between tho Lunenburger
and the Mayflower, the Boston craft
that twice was debarred from the in?
ternational contest. The race will be
run Monday or the first favorable day
thereafter.
"The Halifax Herald"' trophy, won
to-day by the dluenose, will be handed
back to the keeping of Captain Angus
Walters, the Canadian skipper, at nooii
to-morrow. In heavier weather to-day
than has been met during the series,
the Canadian cup defender again
demonstrated her merits. She beat the
Ford by nearly eight minutes and cov?
ered the forty-mile course in 4 hours
47 minutes and 32 seconds, which is
faster time than has ever before been
made over this course.
Rules To Be Revised
There will be some drastic revisions
of the deed of gift, and the rules under
which future races are sailed. H. R.
Silver, of Halifax, chairnvin of the
board of trustees, announced that next
year a displacement rule would be in?
troduced to prevent any possible sacri?
fice of carrying capacity for the sake
of the speed.
W. H. Dennis, publisher of "The
Halifax Herald," and donor of the
trophy, issued this statement to-night:
"The International , Fishermen's
Trophy was donated for competition
between fishing vessels manned by
j genuine fishermen engaged in deep
I ea fishing, and it is my opinion that
? the contests should be controlled sole
j ly by practical men, who are actively
I engaged in the shipping and fishing
! business, End, if asked for my views
? by the trustees of the trophy, I will.
I suggest that men who understand the
, fishing and shipping industry be put
in full control of all phases of the
contest."
"The present regulations governing
the international races were drawn up
not by yachtsmen or landsmen, but by
fishing skippers and men interested in
the fishing business in Gloucester and
Nova Scotia. Only eight weeks ago
! the chairman of the trustees ;nd mem
i bers of the board journeyed to Portland
\ ;*.:<*? mnt n delegation of vessel owners
! and captains from Gloucester, at which
time every word in the deed of gift
was revised and O. K.'d."
Called Satisfactory
"It was proclaimed enti**eiv snt.isfac
tory to the fishing interests of Glouces?
ter and Nova Scotia. At this confer?
ence there were such men as Captain
Peebles and Benjamin Smith, of
Gloucester; Scott Corkum and Arthur
Zwicker, of Lunerburg; Captain Harty,
of Gloucester, and many other practi?
cal men. "Bear in mind that this is
'he third race of the series. In the
two races .ailed off Halifax there was

Lake Forest Estates Shelled
By Rookies at Fort Sheridan
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
CHICAGO, Oct. 20.?A "goofy second
lieutenant," name suppressed, laid a
one-pounder barrage on aristocratic
Lake Forest yesterday, Brigadier Gen- |
enral Van Horn Mosley, commandant,
at Fort Sheridan, discovered to-day.
Four of the shells that the lieuten?
ant had a recruit squad shoot straigftt
at the shore estates hit the Franfcis
W. Farwell mansion. Others wreaked
flower beds and scarred lawns on the
estates of Mrs. Edith Rockefeller Mc
Cormick and Cyrus H. McCormick. The
whole barrage, indeed, just cleare?! the
roof of Mrs. Edith McCormick'? home.
Mrs. J. V. Farwell, whose horn*? ad?
joins the Francis W. Farwell place,
was walking in her garden whan one
shell buried itself in the la\?m and
blew a "crater" in the turf, j A few
seconds later the Farwell ftp.rdener,
puttering over an aster bed?, nearly
fainted to see a fountain of h*am epurt
in front of him.
It was the most exciting battle on
the North Shore sine? t^he Potto
watomies left. Two domestics were
the only persons in the Farwell house
* while the shells were falling, but their
: screams and the racket o', the artillery
is expected to bring about loud pro?
tests against the government's prac?
tice of letting recruits fool with dan?
gerous weapons.
i General Mosley's comments to-day
f.fter a preliminary investigation of
the bombardment were more explosive
than the one-pcundera.
"A goofy second lieutenant did it," he
said. "I refuse to give his name. I
don't want anybody to know that such
a blunderbuss is on the muster roll of
the army.
"For some reason I can't even guess
be trained a one-pounder direct on tMe
shore estates and sUrted firing. He'll
get his just as soon as I can summon a
board of inquiry."
The one-pounder was an infantry
piece. The trenches from which it is
I fireij ordinarily run north and south,
paralleling the like shore. Lake Mich?
igan is the tar *..
But the gunners who were working
1 with the piece yesterday missed the
lake entirely. The board of inquiry is
to decide whether the miss was by acci?
dent or design.
At any rate, the McCormick lawn*?
are wearing wound stripes to-day and
the FarwelFhouse rates chevrons. The
j damage, according to James Gordon,
! Lake Forest's chief of police, may com
! '- .? +v,o.,ann^ dollaru.

Close Ties With

Parliament Dissolved by
King, Who Sets Date

By Harold E. Scarborough
Special Calle to The Tribune
f'opyrlirht, 1022, New York Tribune Tnc.
GLASGOW, Oct. 26.?Andrew Bonar
Law, Britain's new Prime Minister,
announced the policy of the Conserva?
tive government here to-night, and
told 5,000 of his constituents what
kind of program he would offer to gain
popular support in the coming elec?
tions. His entire speech might be
epitomized in three words?peace, re?
trenchment and reform. It was an ap?
peal that for generations has always
brought the support of Scotch common
sense and was wholly without rain?
bows or any play for the imagination.
While the Prime Minister was deliv?
ering an address in Glasgow to-day the I
King dissolved Parliament, summoning !
it to'meet again on November 20. The
election will be held November 15.
The Prime Minister said he favored
the revival of British trade and con- I
8equently'the extinction of the prob-j
lern of unemployment and increasing I
taxation. These palpable problems :
formed the keynote of his speech, if j
it could be said to contain a keynote. ?
Only the most guarded references !
to the foreign policy of the new gov
eminent were made by the Premier.
He spoke in the same cautious strain !
of the possibility of co-operation be- j
tween the Conservatives and the Na
tional Liberals in the next Parliament, i
He aptly summed up his policy when
he said that it would be criticized as
negative. He defended his stand as
the only one possible at this time.
Vivid Contrast With Lloyd George
It would be difficult to paint a pic?
ture of contrasts so striking as that ?
presented by the new Premier and
that of his predecessor. At Leeds a
week before Mr. Lloyd George strode ?
out to tho center of the spotlight on a !
theater stage amid the crash of mar- ?
tial music. To-night, in hi*, homo !
town, a rather sleepy looking little
man stepped out to the center of the ''
platform with ?? group of local digni- !
taries packed about him. He was;
hardly recognised by the audience ]
until he advanced to the plain little
wooden pulpit which had been set up
in ? barn-like hall. He appeared
nervous and ill at ease, even in his
own city. He plucked at the lapels of!
his coat and constantly sought relief
from a glass of water which had been
set on the pulpit against the possible
need of moistening a throat made dry
': by the strained efforts of oratory.
Mr. Bonai Law began his sneech
with an apology, relating the incidents
of the resignation of Mr. Lloyd George
before proceeding to discuss his policy.
As he proceeded it became apparent
that the speech would be notable for
iti omissions rather than for what it
contained. There was no reference to
the vexed question of tariff reform,
one of his favorite themes before-,he
assumed the premiership.
There was no direct reference to the
po'icy to be pursued in Mesopotamia
and Palestine, two questions that the
: press of London had been vigorously
injecting into the campaign. The posi?
tive side of his speech offered no pana
; cea for restarting the wheels of in?
dustry and lowering taxation. It de?
veloped the theory that trade within
the empire must be fostered and re?
vealed that plans were already afoot
for a conference with the self-govern?
ing dominions to this end.
Conference Habit Opposed
His foreign po'icy may be summed
up in paraphrase?the habit of con?
ferences must be dropped. The Prime
Minister slid gently over the thin ice
of repartitions and the Near East prob?
lems, but he emphasized that an agree?
ment with France was a prime con?
sideration. Yet he said frankly that
even th;s mipht be found impossible.
"I think," said the Premier, "that
the opinion of the people of Great
Britain has swung too far toward the
view that Germany cannot pay any?
thing."
Concerning the Near East he said he
thought an agreement was possible
and made a bid for Italian support
when he said that Great Britain had
no imperialistic aims in that quarter.
The big surprise came when he came
out warmly for the League of Nations
with an expression of regret that the
United States was not represented in
that body. This point evoked the
loudest cheers of the whole speech and
the Premier followed it up by saying:
"There is no man or woman in the
United Kingdom who does not realize
that our relations with the United
Stetes must a'ways be more than a
mere matter of bargaining. The com

Business Men Accused
Of Income Tax Fraud
Officials Be'ieve They Have
Been Deceived by Crediting
of Fictitious Losses
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.?Prelimi
nary investigations conducted by In?
ternal Revenue Bureau officials have
led them to the belief that a number of
business men over the country have
undertaken to defraud the government
of taxes by crediting to themselves in

justifiable losses, running in some
cases to huge amounts. Machinery to
uncover such instances has been set in
motion, it was said to-day at the
bureau, and its operation will be wide?
spread.
Delinquents have taken advantage of
a regulation with respect to the*-audit
of tax returns. Under this regu'ation
returns on the special forms provided
for those having net incomes of $5,

in the office? of the local collectors

DUBLIN, Oct. 26.?All hope that the
Irish irregulars would yie'd and make
a peace compact with the Free State
went into the discard to-nVht, when it
was learned that the republican mem?
bers of the Dail at a secret meeting
called upon Eamon de Valera to resume
the Presidency of the Irish Republic
and reorganize the government.
The plan of the republicans is to
carry on an underground government
and oppose the Free State along the
lines adopted by the Sinn Feiner?
against the rule of the British in Ire?
land. This decision was reached at
the meeting of the republican mem?
bers of the Dail.
An edition of "The Irish Republic,''
organ of tlfe irregulars, was issued to?
night containing a series of resolutions
passed at the meeting, which claimed
to be a legitimate gathering of the
Dail. The resolutions accused the Dail
speaker and other members of trying
to subvert the republic. An invitation
to De-Valera to resume the presidency
in the name of the soldier? who are
fighting for it was contained in the
resolutions.
De Valei-a is asked in the manifesto
to name a council of state and carry on
the affairs of th^go'vernment until the
parliament of the republic is al'owed to
assemble freely or the people are per?
mitted to decide by free election how
they wish to be governed. ?
A proposed new council of state con?
tains the names of four of the minis?
ters in De Valera's o?d cabinet, in?
cluding Moyl?r, who last week was re?
ported to have left Cork for Dublin to
conclude peace with the Free State
government.
There is a faint hope that the mili?
tary chiefs of the irregulars may be
willing to negotiate peace through the
new government thus proposed, but it
seems more probable that De Valera Is
in control of thq whole republican
movement and is unking a last des?
perate gamble against the Free State
by forming a rebel government.
DUBLIN, Oct. 28 (By The Assocl
ated Press).?Eamcn de Va'era has just
made a new move by summoning the
second Dail Eireann, which constituted
itrelf the republican government, and
nominated a council of state.
De Valera always has contended that
the second Dail had never been for?
mally dissolved. He refused to recog?
nize the Provisional Parliament as re?
placing it, especially challenging the
Parliament's capacity to interfere with
political funds in the United States.
His captured correspondence revealed
him doubtful of his ability to establish
a republican government, mainly be?
cause he could not count on support
from the army.
To-night, however, the publicity de?
partment issued an official statement
which showed he had changed his de?
cision and that the second Dail met
in secret session. A manifesto issued
after the meeting says that the presi?
dent appointed a council of state, the
members of which are Austin Stack,
Robert C. Barton, Count Plunkett,
Laurence Gin?ell, Sean O'Kelly, Mr?.
O'Callaghan, Mary MacSwiney and ?ev
eral others.

U. S. to Send
Observer to
Peace Parley
Plenary Powers .Will Not
Be Given to Representa?
tive at Near East Con?
ference, S a y Officials
From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.?The United
States government will have an unof?
ficial observer at the proposed Near
East peace conference in Italy, but the
American representative will not have
plenipotentiary powers, nor will he be
authorized to commit this government
to any agreement that may be worked
out at the conclave. The fact that the
United States was not at war with
Turkey and therefore was not a party
to the Sevres treaty definitely limits
! the participation of this government's
representative to that of an observer.
Pending receipt of the invitation to
the Conf?rence, officials were reluctant
i to-day to comment on the meeting, but
j it was made known that the important
I interests of the United States in the
j Near East made it necessary that the
? fullest reports of the peace negotia?
tions be communicated to this govern?
ment.
The vital interests the United States
has in the Near East, particularly the
freedom of the Straits and the pro?
tection of racial and religious minor?
ities in Turkish territory, however, un?
doubtedly will prompt the Administra?
tion to accept the invitation, and an un?
official observer will be designated by
the President to attend the sessions.
The presence of Russian delegates
to the conference will in no wise affect
the unofficial participation of an
American observer, for a precedent
! was established at the Genoa confer?
ence, at which Richard Washburn
Child, American Ambassador to Italy,
was present and kept this government
advised of developments.
The fact that this government has
maintained a high commissioner in the
person of Rear Admiral Mark Bristol
at Constantinople, who has been in
the closest contact with the Allied of?
ficials, is another reason whieh makes
it certain that the government will
attend the Near East conference.
In some circles to-day it was indi?
cated that the American representa?
tive would be either Ambassador Child
or Admiral Bristol.

Court Denies Plea of U. S. to
Drop Morse Conspiracy Charge
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 26.?At
tempts by counsel for the government
to withdraw all charge? of conspiracy
and fraud .laid against Charles W
Morse, New York shipbuilder, and his
various companies in the case now in
progress here failed to-day when Judge
Waddill, in the Federal Court for the
Eastern Virginia District, refused to
entertain the motion. The court up?
held attorneys for the companies in
their contention that it would be most
unfair to their clients to amend the bill
.0 drastically at thin late day after the
charges had been so widely puJ-it&hed.
The government's motion wfes sub?
mitted by former Senator Edear T.
Bracket., acting as special assistant to
Attorney-General Daugherty in the '
case against the Morse companies. Hi? !
i action created surprise in tho crowd'
ed courtroom, which had listened
throughout tho day to dull testimony
regarding the financial condition of the
associated companies and details of the
contracts given some of them by the j
Emergency Fleet Corporation.
Earlier in the day Senator Breckett
had moved to eliminate from the ease
all reference to the Groton Iron Work?,
which was named with the Virginia
Shipbuilding Corporation in the gov?
ernment's suit to recover about $18,
000,000, advanced to cover construction
expenses. Objection was made on the
ground that the "same charges of
fraud" lay against the Groton company

King Expected in Capital
to Confer With Leaders

Rome May Give In

Forces Are Estimated at
1,600,000 Workmen
and Trained Fighters
ROME, Oct. 26 (By The Asso?
ciated Press).?Premier Facta and
his entire ministry resigned to?
night following the hostile attitude
of the Fascisti toward it and the
ordering by the Fascisti of a gen?
eral mobilization of its forces
throughout the country if the Cabi?
net declined to give up power.
The expectation in Rome to?
night was that King Victor Em?
manuel would return to the capital
to-morrow for conferences with the
political leaders prior to the forma?
tion of the new government. Tho
situation was regarded hopefully in
Rome. The belief prevailed in Rome
that either Vittorio Orlando or
Giovanni Giolitti, former Premiers,
would be requested to organize a new
Cabinet.
Speculate on Threat
The impression was advanced In
political circles that the Facta minis?
try decided to retire chiefly for the
purpose of bringing about the forma?
tion of a strong administration, which,
&t th? apptoaching reopening of th.
Chamber of Deputies, would be capable
of facing the Fascisti. There was some
speculation as to whether the Fascisti
would yield to offers of portfolios in a
Cabinet headed by Giolitti or Orlando,
or decide to precipitate matters by
carrying out their threats to seize the
government.
Mussolini Goes to Milan
Th.; wildest rumor? were in circula?
tion to-night, due to the fact that Sig
nor Orlando had left Rome for Cavour,
Piedmont, for a long interview with
Signer Giolitti on the Cabinet situa?
tion. Dr. Mussolini returned to Milan,
where he had conversations with the
military and political leaders " of the
Fascisti. Senator Lusignoli, Prefect
of Milan, went to Lake Garda pur?
posely to interview Gabriele d'An
nunzio.
There were declarations in some
quarters to-night that before the as?
sembling of t^e Chamber of Deputies a
the new Cabinet would be formed, ?
which would include Signer Giolitti, M
Signor Orlando and four or five mem
bers of the Fascisti. On the other
hand, the belief was expressed that
within a few days the Fascisti would
occupy rll government offices through?
out Italy
The "Epoca" considers there prob?
ably will be a new Cabinet formed
with former Premier Giolitti, Orlando
and Bonorni holding portfolios, but
without Fascisti representation. The
"Giornale d'ltalia" hints at the possi?
bility of a third Facta Cabinet, com?
prising Fascist) membership. This
newspaper urges, however, that what
e\er solution there is to the present
situation, it should be rapid and such
as to restore foreign confidence In
Italy's credit, as is proved by the
value of the lira, which normally is
worth 20 cents, but to-day is worth less
than' 4 cents.
Believe Giolitti Will Return
The most popular belief expressed
by the Rome newspapers is that Signor
Giolitti will return to power with
members of the Fascisti holding port?
folios, but with the claims of the Fas?
cisti reduced. It is asserted that par?
leys between Giolitti and Professor
Benito Mussolini, head of the Fascisti,
will be resumed. ;
Stress is laid by the newspapers* on
the fact that the Fascisti congress ar
Naples broke up in haste and that the
Fascisti leaders left immediately to
confer with Mussolini, who had depart?
ed from Naples prior to adjournment.
Meetings between prominent mem?
bers of Parliament continued to-day.
Notable among the conferences was oner
between Signor Giolitti and Signor Or?
lando.
Whether the present Fascisti move?
ment is political?carried on in order
to secure control of the Cabinet?or
directed against the present govern?
mental system of Italy, is not yet clear.
A year ago Benito Mussolini declared
himself a republican, but a few days
ago, at Naples, he spoke favorably of
the existing dynasty. The House of
Savoy, he said, had strongly cemented
the unity of Italy.
Great Force in Military Units
The strength of the Fascisti is va?
riously estimated at between 400.000
and 800,000. A large part of these men
have been trained in military tactics
and are organized into companies and
battalions.
Mussolini has called to-rether all the
military leaders of the Fascisti, and
simultaneously has ordered all the mil?
itary sections of the organization to
keep in readiness the 800.000 workers
who have joined the Fascisti units, or?
dered to co-onerate ?t an opportune
moment with the military sections.
This is interpreted here as prepara?
tion for tho assumption of power by
the Fascisti.
Recent events connected with the
Fascisti. including the summoning of
their military leaders and the bold
utterance of Mussolini that either the
government of the country must be
given peaceful 1 - to the Fascisti or the
Fascisti would take it by force, follow
a series of aggressive steps by the
organisation.
D'Annunzi? Join? Fascisti
Premier Facta. recent'y offered the
Fascisti representation in his Cabinet
in order to strengthen his majority in
te Chamber of Deputies. According
Mussolini, the Fascisti demanded
the portfolios of.Foreigu Affaire, War,
Navy. Labor and Public Works. Th?
