MAYOR GAYN0R
HAS AFf|OAV|TS
ASSERTS HE is PREPARED TO
SUeSTANTlATE ASSERTION OF
BIG GRAFT FUND.

New York, Aug. lS.-Interest in
the Rosenthal case tonight center
ed in the projected interview tomor-
row between District Attorney Whit
man and Sam Schepps, the man be
lleyed to hold in his keeping i'm
portant secrets connected with the
murder and the surrounding graft
which will do much toward clearing
mp the case Schepps is expected
here early tomorrow.
One other important development
is forecasted tonight. 1t is stated
that Captain Cornelius G. Hayes, the
denoted police inspector, who is
under charges of failure to enforce
the law in respect to disorderly re-
sorts in his district, will be invited
to call on the district attorney and
talk over the situation.
Acted Under Superior Officers.
Captain Hayes has declared he
acted under orders from superior
Officers. one OF the charges pend
ing against the former inspector is
that he falsely stated that Commits
sioner Waldo instructed him not to
obtain evidence against disorderly
houses except by order of the Com
missioner. That Captain Hayes, if
he sees fit, can put the district at
torney in touch with valuable facts
connected with the police situation
in the tenderloin is generally be-
lieved. IL is understood also that
Hayes, disresarding immediate per-
sonal consequences, is prepared to
give all the information at his dis
posal.
Gaynor Prepared to Prove Assertion.
lt was stated tonight that Mayor
Gaynor, who has charged that ST.
500,O0O graft annually has been col
lected for protection, is prepared
to substantiate his declaration that
influence was RESPONSE
lie for this alleged grating at the
coming investigation into graft mat
ers. 1t is said that Mayor Gaynor
las secured innumerable affidaYits |
which bear him out in his state
nents. The proposal of certain al
lermen to call a special meeting of !
he board and order an investigation
If the mayors charges is understood
o be Welcomed by the mayor.

the party would be met there by
District Attorney Whitman.
Schepps spent quiet Sunday in
Buffalo. Except for brief walk,
Schepps remained in his motel all
day and rcsolutely declined to dis
cuss anything pertaining to the
death of Rosenthal or the graft sur
rounding it,
Bernard II. Sander, counsel for
Schepps, spent the afternoon at
Niagara Falls. He has seen little
of his client in private and is con
cerned chiefly in seeing that Schepps
reserves whatever he may have to
reveal until he gets to New York.
Whatever plans District Attorney
Whitman has for the reception and
examination of Schepps his custo-
dians here declined to reveal to-
night. 1t was thought possible that
the party might leave the train be-
fore reaching New York. and finish
the journey by automobile, but con-
cernng any such plan Assistant
District Attorney Rubin refused to
say word.

like to have more there; but ] do not
see my way to join in recommending
the purchase of another very expen-
sive bit of ground between Washing
ton street and Adams.
The Monroe street ground, not al
lowing for improvements. would cost
about $4,000; and without it the dis
trict near it will be much nearer 10
one or other of the proposed small
parks than nearly all of the other old
parts of the city will be to such
grounds.
six of the Park Commissioners
have recommended the acquisition OF
that lot. To make the recommends
tion effective It will require at least
two of the eight other members of the
Board. Should the two members OF
City Council, who are Park Commits
sioners, join in the recommendation
1t will be enough to authorize the
Council to make the purchases. If il
is best that other Commissioners
should join in this action I hope / may
be convinced that such Is the case
If not so convinced, l shall be content
If left in a minority.

TRACING THE
Old MORTGAGES
Delaware Co. official Recalls
City Gift But Fame Of
fiCiol is in Dark

Members of the Fire Department
are still talking about the mortgages
of 81 900 against the Delaware Fire
Company and $4,000 against the Fame
Hose Company, held by the city, ac-
cording to the city auditors books.
William A. Ruth, president Of the
Delaware Fire Company, explained
the $1,000 mortgage which the city
( holds against that company. He said
the Delaware Company at one time
was located at Sixth and King streets,
on the site now occupied by the Street
and Sewer Departments building. The
Delaware company borrowed $1,000
from the city and gave mortgage for
the amount as collateral. This mort
gage was on the building occupied at
that time.
Some years later the city purchased
] the fire company's building After
the deal had been made the city COM
planned that the price paid was toe
high. II was then discovered that the
mortgage was still standing against
the building and had never been sat
isfed, and that the fire company had
disposed Of the property without the
city's knowledge Of the mortgage. This
was what caused the trouble. but the
company contended the city was re
sponsible, as IL had taken over th'
mortgage in the deal.
|. William J. Lutz, president of tn
Fame Hose Fire Company, says h
knows nothing Of the mortgage 70
$4,000 which MIR. Biddle says the cit
holds against that company. He say
he has been a member OF the cOmpan
for about twenty years, and he ha
mover been able to find out anythin
about IT, There is nothing on Oh
companys books to show that such
debt ever existed. Older member
say they knew nothing about il. an

tions, affording full opportunity 10

and won encomiums from those recog-
nized as critics In the audience. Mrs.
Clark also daintily sang the German

applause. and as an encore Mrs. Clark
gave a recitation.
