Is it ponsdble that the lessees o? these piers pay (7,500,000 to prevent their property being stolon from the piers? That would be the deduction. I do not wish to be general In my deduction, because only two or three i.iaea have been proved in their en tirety, but it is a matter for considera tion how this property may be pro tected to serve and not to penalise commerce, because such a charge '~pxi commerce has to be paid by the Consumer and such payments by the consumer directly affect the cost of living.'' Mjr. Brown in his statement, made Rt the end of the session, also sum marised the leading points In the week's testimony. It had been shown, he said, that Mayor Hyian had dic tated appointments in the Police De partment to the detritnont of that de partment; that political and other sinister influence had operated to force transfers of policemen hurting the morale of the force; that the police system of imposing penalties and en forcing discipline was wholly unsatis factory and must be changed. In his testimony on Wednesday Mr. Behar, agent of the steamship line, re lated bis part in the negotiations which had resulted 1n the employment of the Cross agency and the dismissal of the Vacheis agency. The latter was not in good favor and could not get police co operation. Inspector Henry had sug gested Cross, who was Devery's right hand man In the old days. Cross had a storrgy career In the department. Capt. UospUii, manager of the company. Is in Europe. Behar bad testified that the employ ment of Cross had boosted the cost of police protection for the two piers from $1,200 a week to about double that sum. He said yesterday he wished to correct that? the increase was not as great as he had said. It was not determined exactly what the jump In price was. fSratultr for Inspector Henry. Mr. Brown said: "At page 492 of your ledger appears an entry: 'Gratuity as per advice of Glibert $500,' dated May 21, 1920; is that right?" "That Is right." the witneas said. "What was that payment made for?" "That was a payment made to Mr. G Ibart for payment to Inspector; Henry." "I offer in evidence the cash slip of I this Item, two sheets, tied together. Did | you have an understanding with Capt. Rospini when lie went to Europe that I you have authority to make two pay-1 merits to Gilbert of $500 each for that [ purpose?" "No, tli ere was no understanding of | that kind." "When were those payments made? "One in May and one in June, 1920. I That was money that was to be paid by ! Mr. Gilbert to inspectors." "To whom was that paid?" "I don't know to whom it was given, I because I don't have charge of th03C | matters." "Did you testify to that before the subcommittee?" "I did." "And you testify now that the pay- | ment was to be made to Mr. Henry?" "I found that out since then." "f offer In evidence the cash slip of | the eecond $500 gratuity payment." Mr. j Breton said. "And the same items are entered in^ your cash hook, these two $500 items, in the same way?" "Certainly." "Gilbert told Rospini that Henry had been to his office and hud called him up and told him that he did not think $500 was enough for all he had done?" "That is what Gilbert told me. And | Gilbert said. 'We ought to give him j $509 more and he done with it'" "Gilbert first mentioned the necessity of paving this $1,000 to Henry some time in May. didn't he?" "That is right." "Who told you that Inspector Henry j ba'I come to see Gilbert and told him that he was broke and needed money j for bis defence in connection with tome j charges?" "Mr. Gilbert." "From whom did you learn that the | $500 was paid to Inspector Henry?" "From my attorney, Mr. Gilbert." "And you got the same information j in relation to both payments?" "That ia right." Wo Receipt Taken foe Gratuity. "You didn't get any receipt for this { money?" "No." "Just handed it in caah over to your i attorney?" 'That la ail." "Did Gilbert ask you to pay It in caah?" "Gilbert asked us to send $500 that time. That is alt we did." "But you didn't send it by check?" "No. wo didn't send it by eheck." "Did Capt Rospini tell you to whom he was going to have that money go?" "No." "Did ho tell you anything about the person whom It was to go to?" "No." "You testified before the subconr* mlttca as follows: *Capt. Rospini told me he was going to give that money to Botji" %>e In the Police Department. He r as connected formerly with the Police Department Ho was going to give that to Inspector Henry, who was then under charges. Each of these two $500 pay ments. nni> in May and one in June, he wam going to give to Inspector Henry.' Tin testified that?" "I don't remember testifying to that." Mr. Hrown read a letter of June 17. 1920, from the company's office In Italy explaining that the money was charged to the June pier account. "Capt. Rospini then had told you what the money was to bo used for?" Mr. Brown continued. "Yen. he waa going to give that to Tngpoctor Henry, who waa under charges. I have nothing to hide."

He described the change in the pier guards following a luncheon on board one of the Kalian steamers said to have been attended by Inspector Henry and other police officials. The question of pro viding a it"# guard for the company's plots was discussed. "Henry suggested recruiting retired policemen," Mr. Brown said. "*ee. sir," the witness said, and ho said that they ought to have them sworn 1n as npeclal officers with power to carry guns and to shoot at any trouble?" "Yes, sir: In fact, I had made the same suggestion myself," "Somebody suggested the name of ex Inspector Cross?" "Yes." "Who was that?" "Inspector Henry." "Cross was employed?" "Yes, sir." "You gave $500 to Henry, didn't you?" "Yes, sir." "Did you have any talk with him about the $500?" "He came to my office. It was at the time. Just at or before the day of the trial of the Indictment rhnrglng him witn ncglgct of duty. I don't know whether I hau asked him to come, or whether he had spoken to me over the telephone and called me up, but in any event I had had some talk with him over the telephone about these charges, and he said he would like to see me some time. "I felt sincerely very sorry for the man. I had known police officials and I had known the work they had done, and Inspector Henry was known to me as a very capable, honest man. He had never risked for anything and never In dicated that he wanted anything, and when ho came to me In difficulty, hav ing been of assistance to me and to my client, I did what I think you might have done If you had been In my place. "I called up my client and I told htm of the situation. I did not tell him any particular sum. I left it to them and I did not know huw much they were going to contribute until they got the money and I then gavo It to Inspector Henry, and there was no indication at that time, no Intention of giving any more, or any promise of any more, or any expectations of any more at that time. Henry Under Suspension. "I might also say that at that time T considered whether or not it was ] proper to give a gratuity to the In spector. and I considered that the man was under suspension .and he was tem porarily not a member of the police force, and I did not want to do any thing that was wrong." "Was he suspended when you had your ! unci icon with him?" "Oh. tills was a long, lorlg time after the luncheon. That occurred way back in 1918 and I had not seen Henry for months and montliB after that." "After that did you have any con versation with him about getting any j more money?" "He either came to see me or I met I him and I talked to him about hia ac- | quittal. It was after his acquittal. He told me he was coming up on trial on this perjury charge. They had Indicted him at a certain time for neglect of j duty, and his trial on that charge oc curred soon thereafter. I told him I did not think ho would have any diffi culty and I hoped he would bo ac quitted, and I did not hear any more from liim until I read in the paper , that he had been convicted. One morn ing a message was delivered to me." "That was when Henry was In Jail?" "When he was in the Tombs. It was a few days after his conviction. Ho wanted to know If I could come up to see him. or could give him some help. I did not go up to sec him at | the time. I communicated with Mr. Bchar over the telephone. I told him of the situation. The message that I hnd was that he wanted to retain Gov. Miller, who was then practising law and that it cost him a great deal of money. I told Beliar of the man's plight, and I said to him. 'If you can do anything more for him I think It | ought to be done." I recommended nothing, gave no amount, nor did Henry tusk any amount." Second g&OO Sent Uy a Boy. "You gave him the second $500?" "Some boy from my office, I sent ] him up with It." "Mr. Behar testified this morning In regard to the second payment. 'Mr. Gilbert also came to sec us. I do not rcmomber to me or to Capt. Ruspini, but he told us that Inspector Henry had been In his office and had called ] hltn up and told blm that he did not think $500 was enough for all he had done for us. Mr. Gilbert said we had to give him $500 more and be done with it." " "He Is entirely mistaken, sir," Gil bert said. "I never saw them about i the second $500; that was entirely ? "The $600 came out of their own mind?" "No, sir, the amount did, absolutely, the request came from me but the | amount In both cases came from their | own minds." "You feel very friendly toward Mr. Henry?" "I feel very friendly toward the man j because I think he is a good policeman. j 1 think he acted In a very excellent way j with respect to the problems that we j had to solve, and I feel sorry for tbo i man If he has any more trouble." "You do not know of any other money that went to Henry from the company?" | "I know of none. In fact, I am posi tive from what the company has told me that It paid no more and there would be no occaelon for it ever to have paid any more." "Mr. Behar's testimony does not In dicate that he paid the money very readily." "Well, then, I was mistaken in the attitude of acquiescing In my attempts < to assist Inspector Henry. Because I j never "heard the slightest objection from the company, and If there had been I probably would have heard it." "You gave Henry nothing yourself | personally?" "Absolutely not." Money Delivered In Tombs. Godfrey Cohen, employed In the of fices of Gilbert & Gilbert, testified that | he was handed a sealed envelope, which [ he Informed contained money, and | was directed to deliver it to Inspector | ! Henry In the Tombs. He did as told i and handed the envelope to Henry, but : ' said he did not know how much money : j wna in the envelope, nor did he know I anything further about the transaction. j Pomlnick Henry began service In the i Police Department under Capt. Mile* O'Reilly at the Mercer street station. I 1-ater he served many years in the tele- I phone bureau at Police Headquarters { and was legislated by special act Into the post of lieutenant without being a lergeanl. He succeeded O'Reilly in com- j round at Mercer street as captain. Mayor Gaynor i > prlmanded Henry for employing harsh methods In arreting girt strikers. I In was fined five days' 1 pay by Commissioner Cropsey for fall ing to make a proper report on a fight in his district In 1012 the fine was] remitted by Commissioner Waldo, atid soon after Mr, Waldo made Henry an acting inspector in command of Qtuens. Later be Mas reduced to captain and sent to the West 136th street station. Since he was named Inspector, Henry was in the public eye most conspicu ously list year In connection with his light with Assistant District Attorney .Tames E. Smith. In May, 1930, he was acquitted on charges of neglect of duty in that he hsd permitted disreputable places to exist in his inspection district He made a series of affidavits charging that Bmlth had propoaed protecting gamblers. Out of that grew a charge of perjury, on which the Inspector was Indicted J April 9, 1930. He was convicted and locked up In the Tombs, hut M'as re lease! pending plea for new trial. The Appellate Division In April lust unani mously reversed the conviction. Tho At torney-Ocneral moved Immediately for dismissal of the case, saying he ""Was certain a. new trial could not convict Henry was restored by Commissioner Enrlght in June last and assigned to the Broni. '( Louis Costa, general manager of the Sicula-American lino. gave testimony re-1 garding the hmdxon at which Inspector Henry was said to iwve suggested Cross I for the pier guarding Job. The witness said he thought Police Capts. Belden and Walsh were there. Mr. Graef. representing tlie Furnees Withy Company, said the concern em ployed tho Adam Cross agency last year. The watchmen on this company's Piers became special policemen after Cross took hold. In 1920 the whrrfagc col lected on Pier 95. Hudson River, was J83.000. and the coat of watching was 163,000. Charles Bradley. Myles Cunningham. James Marone and Dennis Haggcrty, who were employed by the Vachris agency, testified they were summoned to Police Headquarters and offered posi tions with the Cross agency when the latter supplanted Vachris. They were sworn in as special policemen. Hag gerty said he was an ex-bartender. Mr. Brown said that for the purpose of pulling together the testimony taken during the week he wished to make a statement in the nature of a summary for the record. He said : ! "Without attempting to foreshadow the findings of the committee, as counsel I take the liberty of pointing out the I necessity in the Police Commissioners office of having appointments made by, through, and tor him in the administra tion of the offloe without tho interference of political Influence from any source whatever. . ., j "It seems to me that the evidence shows clearly at several periods during the term of office of the present Com missioner and it may be of previous commissioners that such appointments were made exclusively upon the recom mendation of the Mayor. I "I do not think this can tend to strengthen the efficiency of the Police Administration of the city. , Favors Should Go by Merit. "I have a great respect for the Police Department. I believe that the great . body of that force is true to the interest | which It is croated to protect. I believe it is a self-respecting force and that whatever may be had from time to time on the part of the members of the force ] hv way of promotion, desirable pests, or anything else?should come as the re- | ward of merit In the due course of ad ministration, and not by favor or by outside request. And I desire particular ly to call the attention of the committee I to the evidence, quite extensive in its , nature, produced beforo the committee, that under the existing practice many of these advantages are had solely on re quest and must therefore be at the ex pense of merit. I "I wish to point lout that a record of a judgment rendered by the Police Com missioner of the commission of a hein ous offense against an officer of the force, which can only be lessened or ex- i plained away by the ideas or personal consciousness of the Commissioner who | administers the discipline, is a wholly , unsatisfactory system, and the statute j ought to be changed. If an officer he i not guilty of the offense charged in all of its grossness and fullness, ?he com plaint could be modified to include a lesser offense and the record should be no moro serious than the evidence justi fied. I "I believe that the police force, the I greatest force on this continent, ha3 a pride In its character which resents the retention in Its ranks of men of such gross nature and character as some ofj those are shown to be. But with rela tion to the discipline of the Department, It should be the purpose of the Depart ment to weed out men of this character. They are not fit guardians of men and particularly of women and of children." The hearing was adjourned to next Monday afternoon. AMERICAN LEGION STILL AFTER BONUS FiTTSBtnGH, Sept. 22.?John G.

UNTERMYER CONFERS | ?? Wants Committee Kept Out of Campaign?Members Meet Monday. AGREEMENT BY SENATOR Purpose Is to Get Support in Legislature for Remedial Legislation. Samuel Untermyer, volunteer coun sel. and Senator Charles C. Lockwood, chairman of the legislative housing committee, held a conference yester day In Mr. Untermyer's office regard ing the future course of the commit tee's activities. A meeting of the en tire committee has been called for Monday forenoon in Mr. Untermyer's office to map out plans. The Indications are. The Nrw York Hkralo was informed, that while the investigating work of the committee will go forward without interruption, as it has during Mr. Untermyer's ab sence in Europe the last throe months, unless matters of the utmost urgency como up there will bo no further pub lic hearings by the committee until after election. The work of the committee, Mr. Un termyer fijela, must be kept out of poli tics. Ho expects to encounter powerful opposition from interested lobbies when the remedial legislation the committee will recommend Is introduced in Albany. For this reason ho feels that the sup port of both tho major political parties will bo required in the Legislature. Senator Lockwood, who is tho Repub lican-Coalition nominee for Comptroller, is in entins accord with Mr. Untermyer, and in any event will take no part in public activities of the committee while ho Is a candidate on the municipal ticket Monday's conference, therefore. Is to obtain the views of the other mem bers of tho committee on the sugges tion of a continued suspension of public hearings until probably the third week of November. Joseph M. Price, leader of the coali tion movement in the campaign, saw Mr. Untermyer yesterday and sought to induce the lawyer to take the stump in support of the Curran-Lookwood-Gilroy ticket. Mr. Untermyer is more con cerned watching the attitude of candi dates for the Legislature, and ia think ing seriously of leading an active oppo sition to those candidates who refuse to commit themselves on the housing com mittee's recommendations. His plan would be to send each can didate a questionnaire and then begin ? drive on the ones who failed to send satisfactory replies. While he would not say that he ha^l declined Mr. Price's p!ea for him to stump for the eltv ticket, it was understood that tho coali tion chairman g"ot little encouragement from Mr. Untermyer. Mr. Untermyer has received a report from Guy B. Moore. District Attorney of Erie county, regarding the progress of tho State's case against the individ uals and corporations under indictment there. He lias not had opportunity to digest the report. One thing ubout which Mr. Untcrmver expressed surprise was the number'of indictments that have been handed down by tho Federal Grand Juries during Ids absence. Ho expeetod to find many more and will have a conference within the next day or so with William Hay waru. United States Attorney, looking toward a speeding up of the Federal drive against the profiteers exposed by the committee. Mr. Untermyer probably will go to Washington for a conference with At torney-General Harry M. Daugherty, and. if necessary', with Gen. Charles G. Dawes, Director of the Budget, in regard to an appropriation in connection with this Work. The necessity of breaking up the building material and labor rings impressed Itself more strongly than ever on Mr. Untermyer during his stay abroad. He found famllios of five living well In Germany on the equivalent of forty cents a day In American money. In Austria they arc, ho found, doing the same on thirty cents a day. The inevitable result, he says, will be that Qcrmany particularly will soon undersell America in overytliing unless a protective tariff wall is erected. This being the case, he holds that free and open competition in the allied building industries is essential unless the trade combinations are to bo permitted to make their strangle hold on Industry Just so much tighter. It Is this argu ment he will present should he find It necessary to go to Washington to urge a generous appropriation for the prose cution of those already under Indictment and of those against whom indictments are expected to follow. ULLMAN AND FRIEDMAN ACQUITTED BY COURT Judge Sheppard Finds Evi dence Is Insufficient? Judge William B. Sheppard In the United States District Court directed yesterday the acquittal of Assemblyman Sol Ullman and hie law partner, Emanuel Friedman, who with three other defendants have been on trial for conspiracy to defraud the Government of Income and profit taxes. The court directed that the prosecution of Meyer Saal and Justus Frankel, public ac countants, and Harry Levy, internal revenue agent, the other defendants, oo continued. In granting the motion for the ac quittal of Ullman and Friedman Judge Sheppard remarked that the conduct of the two men appeared to him to be very remarkable In connection with the case, but he was forced to decide that the Government had not produced enough evidence to warrant a verdict of guilty The case against the remaining defend ants wae closed yesterday afternoon and Judge Sheppard will charge the Jury this xmorning. Assemblyman Ullman represents the 3Ixtli district in the Assembly and Is a Republican member of the Meyer inves igating committee. Ho has never served on the committee, but It Is ex aected he will assume his seat now that le has been freed of all charges. THREE INSPECTORS SHIFTED BY EN RIGHT I Boettler, Bolan and Ryan Are | Transferred. Police Commissioner Enright ordered j a change of duty for three police inspec tors yesterday. Word of the changes wae rumored in the districts affected, ! but no ofllclal announcement was made j from Police Headquarters and no con- ! firmatlon of the orders could be ob-1 tained at headquarters last night. Inspector William F. Boettler Is to leave the Tenderloin, the city's busiest district, which extends along the west side from West Thirteenth street to West 100th street, and goes to the Fif teenth inspection district in Queens with headquarters In Long Island City. He | is succeeded in the Tenderloin by In spector James S.

TAMMANY UPHOLDS MURPHY TO A HAN ConlinHrA from Firet Pave. the future has been and WW be in aid of the cause of Democracy. "This cause is nearest to my heart. "If you Democratic men and women of this committee believe In the rule of the majority, which is a cardinal prin ciple of American Government, and If you hclleve in the principle of fair play, and I know you believe In both, you will not to-nlirht Indorse the candidacy of any one for President of the Bor ough of Manhattan until' the courts have passed upon the validity of the recent primary election. And If you do I know you will aid me In ridding the Democratic party of the millstone which hangs around its neck In the per son of Charles F. Murphy, Murphyism and all that It represent, and restoring thereby a united party decoted to and working In the interests of true De mocracy." It has been arranged that Jeremiah T. Malioney, leader In the Fifteenth dis trict and a former Judge of General Sessions, as well as a champion high Jumper In his youth, and a few of the other leaders should answer Jimmy Hlnes If he "tried to start anything." So up jumped Maloney to defend the Chief. Murphy, he said, had been a successful leader. l,ast year the Demo cratic vote had diminished all over the country, and surely Murphy was not to be held accountable for Harding's carrying New Tork county. Mahoney cited the vote of Gov. A1 Smith In the city of New Tork as proof that Murphy had done all any one could. The attack from Hlnes, said Mahoney, was unfair. Chorus for Murphy. Others followed Mahoney In praise of Murphy, whose countenance resumed Its wonted huo as ho listened. Nathan Burkan, leader In the Seventeenth dis trict, described Murphy as self-sacriflc ing in his devotion to the organization, as having the confidence of the leaders and an unparalleled record of victories. He spoke of tho two elections of McClel lan and the election of Gaynor and Hylan among Mayors and of United Sthates Senators and Governors, all ac complished while Murphy was leader of Tammany Hall. Such a record, said Burkan, no other leader had ever had. He moved a vote "of confidence In and affection for Charles F. Murphy as leader of Tammany Hall," and added that there should be a special resent ment of Hlnes "a charge, made in the primary campaign, that Murphy had been surly and discourteous in his treat ment of some of the women who had gone to see him. Good stage management was exhib ited In tho seconding of this motion by Charles \V. Culkln, one of the leaders of tho Third district, for the Hlnes men have been saying that if Culklns's Inner mind were exposed it would be antl Murphy, too. Murphy's courtesy to women was pic tured glowingly by Mrs. Ella Hastings, coleader in the Fifteenth district. Thomas M. Farley of the Fourteenth ob jected to newspaper stories crediting him with approving the Hlnes rebellion. "Mr. Murphy," said Farley, "is a great leader, and I do not approve the attitude of Mr. HInee In any way whatsoever." "Now that the primary fight is over," said another woman loader, MlSs Eliza beth V. MlcCrysta! of the Twenty-second district, "Mr. Hlnes ought to show that he's a good si>ort and a good loser and stop his childish attitude and cheap bids for newspaper space." In some way all the leaders were force?! to declare themyrlvro on this vote, for the roll was called. Mrs. Stewart, H lues's partner in leadership of ill Eleventh, said frankly that "aha did not want to bo recorded as against the ticket," and added, "I want to wait for the recount row going on and If Mr. IlincB Is nominated I'll support the ticket." Mrs. Elizabeth Barry of the Twelfth, Murphy's coleader, said she had known hint all her life and she was sure he had never been surly to women but on the contrary exceedingly considerate. Mrs. Genevieve Walsh of the Twenty third told the committee she could not feel that her conscience was clear un less sho resented the speech of Hines. "No organization," Mrs. Walsh ended, "can succeed without a good leader, and in Mr. Murphy we have a leader not made but born." Murphy's Little Speech. "Charles F. Murphy 1" called the sec retary, Thomas F. Smith. Did Murphy make a speech? Well, he said: "I had intended to make a reply to .Mr. Hines's statement, but after hearing what my colleagues of the committee said I will not do It." Sam Marx of the Seventeenth asked Hlnes to prove himself a good loser by supporting the resolution Indorsing the Tammany ticket and the ticket Itself. "I hope I'll bo able to support the ticket when the recount is completed," retorted Htnes. Secretary Smith recorded the vote as 70 for the affection and confidence reso lution and 2 against, the two negatives being Hlnes and Mrs. Stewart, who made no answer at all when their namea were called. Sheriff David IT. Knott presided over the upstairs meeting. A Hinds man smuggled a cornet under his coat and tooted It for Jimmy, while the rear guard screamed: "Who's our next Borough President? Hlnes." Edward F. Boyle was reelected chair man, Thomas F. Smith secretary and Philip F. Donahoe treasurer of the ex ecutive committee and Sheriff Knott chatman of general county committee. The resolutions adopted mention llylan. Craig and Hulbert by name, and say: "We are also proud of our borough and county tickets."
