TO PROBE TICKET SCANDAL
Postoffice Officials Take Hand in
Worlds Series Mess.

AS an aftermath of the ticket scandal
that marred the recent worlds series, the
Postoffice Department will begin an inquiry
10 establish whether II cannot bring those
who were in charge of the ticket sale for
the baseball games before the court for
having used the mails in scheme 10 mis-
represent matters to the public
Warren w Dickson. chief of the post
office inspectors in this city. said yesterday
many complaints had reached him, and
although there was no charge made that
the mails had been used to defraud, It was
apparent that gross misrepresentation had
been made, and the public had been vic
timiZed by an INSCRIPTIONS use of the
mails
The New York Baseball club adver-
tised through the mails" said Mr.. Dickson,
that orders for tickets for the series, if
accompanied by money orders or certified
checks, would be filed by mail. Orders
for the whole series were to have prefer
ence over those for tickets for single
game, and again. mail orders In general
would be filled before the sale across the
counter began. Now. We have received
many intmations. and we have reasons to
expect that we will be able to prove II,
that some favorites OF those who handled
the ticket sales We're able to purchase huge
blocks of tickets, although hundreds OF
mail orders were returned.
Ticket spectators found that II all the
mail orders were filed they could not get
the number of tickets which they conf
IDENTIFY expected to sell at a considerable
advance in prices. and though they were
able to buy the large blocks they wanted,
mail orders that should have been honored
first were refused"

called to the attention of William VI. Gray.
secretary of the New York Baseball Club.
that official seemed at first inclined to re-
gard the matter a good joke. When as
sured however, that the postofiice officials

sobered perceptibly, and he launched at

took in getting out the tickets, ending

TO ASK WILLETT'S ARREST
I'VE Have Got Him Right, " Says
District Attorney Dewitt.

The dictum Of the boss backed by sub
stantial money contribution may have en-
tered into the Democratic judiciary scandal
in Queens as early as the primaries at
which the delegates to the Judiciary NOM
mating convention were elected a week or
two prior to the holding Of the convention
itself according TO testimony brought out
Yesterday at The resumption Of the hearings
Iefore Justice Scudder in the Long Island

Willett. ir.. whose nomination is under scru-
tiny AZ the inquiry. borrowed $1,000 from
him on September %. telling him that he
wanted 10 make a contribution TO the pri-
mary campaign in queens
In the opinion of the Investigators, the
explanation Of this $4,000 loan by Mr.. Mer-
rju practically completes the sequence OF
financial activities on Willett's part which
have been recorded at the inquiry in the
effort to show that Willett obtained his
nomination by the payment of money. Dis
trict Attorney Dewitt of Queens said af-
ter the hearing yesterday that the author

FLAW IN THE PISTOL LAW
Corporation Counsel Gives Police
Commissioner an Opinion.

Corporation Counsel Watson. in an opin-
ion rendered 10 Police Commissioner Waldo
yesterday, declared that the Sullivan pis-
tol law was unconstitutional, I'm so far as
II made it necessary for a person 10 get a
permit for the actual possession of re-
volver, saying:
session is necessary I'm order To constitute
the offence created by the statute. II Il
obvious from the context that the possess
sion intended is not confined to o mere
having upon the person or 10 a manual
custody. Actual possession Is an attribute
OF ownership; and while the Legislature
in the exercise of It's police power, might
regulate the manner of keeping or the usa
of weapons of the kind mentioned I'm this
act. II cannot summariiy destroy a preV-
Gus lawful ownership of then either di-
rectly or by annihating essential elements
Of such ownership. The provision I'm ques-
latory enactment, which might be upheld
under the police power, and Is void under
the constitution OF the state.
The Corporation Counsel holds that the
requirement. Of the law for a permit 70
legalize the possession of q revolver or
other weapon is unconstitutional. because
there is an arbitrary and uncontrolled au-
thority TO refuse such permit The Court
of Appeals has held that the Legislature
may not confscate property and may not
summarily destroy a previous lawful own
ership of property. directly or indirectly.
As regards permit for carrying re-
volver concealed about the person in public
places the Corporation Counsel repeats
what he said in letter to Mayor Gaynor
a week or ten days ago. that is, that such
permits may be issued only by the Police
Commissioner and n fee of only 81 30 may
be charged. He holds that tho provisions
OF the city ordinances on this point are
not overruled by the law. which gives
magistrates the right to Issue such permits
and fixes the fee at SO.
