CRUSADE TO OUST
POLICE CHIEF FAILS
Mayor Upholds Superintend
ent in Citizens’ League War
1 on Pittsburgh Vice.
By the A.soofatarJ 'Pres*.
PITTSRURGH. July 23—Mayor
Charles Kline today rejected the de
mand of the Citizens* League of
Allegheny Countv to dismiss Police
Supt. p. P. Walsh, holding that the
league had “utterly failed’’ to sub
stantiate charges it made against the
police head.
The mayor, in an extended com
munication to the Rev. Dr. Alvin Orr,
league director, upheld the police and
| labeled league investigators as men
from outside of Pittsburgh who came
here and enticed young boys and girls.
The league demanded Walsh’s dis
missal after W. L. King, its execu
tive secretary, made a hurried trip to
the West by rail and airplane. He
married a Des Moines, lowa, widow,
and upon his return said he had been
blackmailed out of the city by
gamblers and other underworld char
acters.
League Charges Protection.
The league charged Walsh with in
efficiency, failure to co-operate with
the organization in its drive against
vice, and with protecting vice resorts.
It was alleged that Walsh sent in
vestigators West to look into King's
' activities in that region.
The mayor said Walsh had lived up
to the demands made upon him when
he was sworn in. adding that during
the period in question the league
brought 32 cases into court while the
police brought in more than 1,000. He
expressed the belief that a city as
large as Pittsburgh would always
have “some vice.”
To the league's complaint that
"Walsh's men had arrested league in
vestigators, the mayor said the police
thought the men might he gangsters
driven from Chicago, Detroit or New
York and that when the investigators
•’lied*’ about their identity, the police
took them in as suspicious persons.
Enticing Young Alleged.
Prior to the arrest of other investi
gators in an inn, the mayor said, they
had enticed several boys and girls
into their automobile, attempted to
give them liquor and took them to
. the inn \vhich had been branded by the
league as a “dive.’’
Referring to King as the man who
was prominent for his “aeronautical
and matrimonial exploits,” the mayor
asked why the league secretary should
object to being investigated. Con
cluding his letter, the city’s chief
executive declared that to dismiss
"Walsh on the league’s allegation
would be “highly un-American and not
In keeping with our established legal
procedure.”
REALTYMEN UNAWARE
OF FIRM’S DIFFICULTY
- Two Members of Board Testify in
Adair Company's Bank
ruptcy Case.
By the Associated Press
ATLANTA, Ga., July 23.—W. L.
Stanley and H. C. Worthen, members
of the board of trustees of the defunct
Adair Realty & Trust Co., testified at
the bankruptcy hearing today that the
hoard accepted without question the
monthly statements of officers of the
companv as to its operations and
earnings.
Mr. Stanley said he had served rela
tively a short time as trustee. He
eaid he had the utmost respect for the
ability of the officers and that his first
Information that the company was in
financial difficulties came to him in
rumors last January. He said he had
never made any examination of the
books on his own account and knew
nothing as to detailed operations.
The first Intimation of financial dis
tress came to him last December, Mr.
Worthen stated. On one occasion
during that month, he said, he in
formally suggested adoption of a
budget system as to salaries and oper
ating expenses and advised that an
accountant he employed to segregate
the company's varied activities. No
formal action was takan by the board
on these suggestions, which he de
clared were actuated by a conception
of business gained in his own enter
prises and not through misgivings or
suspicions as to the solvency of the
corporation or disapproval of its
methods.
The hearing will continue Monday.
