jury of New York county, recently
investigated CHARGES that a corruption
fund had been raised by the New
York State Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton for the purpose of influencing eX-
else legislation. In it's preSentment OF
the matter the grand jury stated that
while the evidence adduced did not
warrant action by the New York coun-
ty prosecuting officers, it disclosed ac-
tons of certain members of the STATE
Legislature which should be brought
to the attention of that body. Today
Speaker Nixon laid q copy of the pre-
sentiment before the assembly. In the
evidence accompanying the present
ment it appears that Fritz Llndinger.
president cf the association, and other
witnesses, told of raising a fund Of
$4,000 and of how some of it was
spent. Several witnesses testified that
q special committee from the asso-
citation had spent several thousands

men at hotel in Albany. Another
agent of the association told of paying
the bills of assemblymen at hotels and
houses of i'll repute and also large
bills for typewrting.
In his testimony Lindinger says
that he loaned small sums to various
members of the Legislature, while in
pool rooms in Albany.
The most serious charge contained
in the report is that about $4,000
was put into the hands of one Good
win, since deceased. with the intent
that it should be used t. suppress GER
tain prosecutions of liquor dealers by
the State excise department.
