STEINHART ON THE STAND
Former Consul General Defends
Record in Cuba.

Frank Steinhart. formerly American
Consul General In Havana. and now vice
president and general manager OF the Ha
vana Electric Railway Company, testi.
fed in his own behalf yesterday in the
suit which Hugh Reilly. an American
contractor operating in Cuba, has brought
against him In the Supreme Court to re-
cover $500 unpaid on An option valued
at $4,000 by Reilly, which was on Gu
ban railroad, and on which $4,000 had
been paid.
The defence Of Steinhart is that after
he made an initial payment he discov-
cred that Reilly could not deliver the
property. The purchase price was to be
81, 800 900. and II was brought out that
Steinhart, who had asked for an extern
sion of the option, had received an oner
higher than the price he was to pay for
the railroad.
Counsel for Reilly asked Steinhart IL
he was not In bad repute with the Ameri-
can government In charge OF AFFAIRS In
Cuba at the time under Governor Masoon.
The former Consul General said this was
not so. He also denied that his relations
with Governor Magoon were strained. The
defendant will testify again to-day.

DR.. Mary Halton sounds a warning to

tnction." she says. I'VE will go the way
our ways. Greece and Rome persisted be-
cause their people degenerated. There are
10000 imbeciles In America to-day; 81
per cent OF our people die before they are
twenty-three years old. We don't know
whether it Is the good or the bad half.
We must right through science the wrongs
we have permitted society to commit"
All this was by way OF introduction to
talk on eugenics given before the
Legislative League at the Waldorf-As-
toria Yesterday afternoon, in the course
OF which the speaker said the federal
government must be made to feel It's re-
sponsibility for the increase Of criminals
and feeble minded.
I'm the olden countries she continued,
the weak were disposed of. Many more
people-crlminals-w killed In those
days, and those who weren't killed were
tortured so that they died. We only put
our criminals in prison. and after a
while let them out again, to injure the
race some more.
Now, / don't say we have too much
delicate feeling these days. I'm proud OF
the little real humanitarianism we have,
and I hope wen get more. IT'S only that
we must find some way of checking this
evil which has been allowed to flourish
In our midst"

WHITMAN AIDS ALDERMEN
District Attorney Will Give Evil
dence to Committee.

District Attorney Whitman, after con-
ference with Justice Goff. decided yester-
day TO turn over to the aldermanic IN
vestigating committee all the evidence un-
earthed by his office concerning police cor
ruption. The grand jury especially con-
stituted to inquire into police corruption
as disclosed in the Rosenthal case is no"
busy with an investigation OF the Tombs
administration. growing out OF charges oil
favortism shown Charles H. Hyde.
Since the evidence Of police corruption
which the District Attorney has on hand
TO present does not warrant the finding OF
indictments, in the District Attorney 9
opinion. he has considered il wise TO give
the whole subject into the keeping of the
aldermanic committee and permit the
grand Jury to concentrate its efforts on
the immediate inquiry on hand
Should the evidence before the alder
manic committee seem to warrant the
finding of indictments later. the John
Doe" grand jury will then have completed
its Tombs investigation, 1t Is expected, and
be able to make quick work Of police
graft, the foundation for indictments hav-
Ing already been laid. Mr. Whitman is
convinced that the aldermanic committee,
under the guidance of its counsel, Emory
f. Buckner. is doing excellent work and
may be depended upon to lay bare police
conditions all the more completely In the
absence OF an embarrassing parallel In
auiry being conducted at the Crimina.
Courts Building.
At the request Of Mr.. Buckner the Dis
trict Attorney has assigned Assistant Dis
trict Attorney ]. Robert Rubin. who pre-
pared the peoples case in the trial OF the
Rosenthal gunner. to aid counsel for the
Curran committee. Mr.. Rubin Is busy at
present on interesting evidence OF police
methods, preparatory TO presenting It to
the aldermen.
II is expected that in the mean time a
number of gambling cases now on the
calendar Of the Court Of General Sessions,
developed as the result Of police raids last
summer. will be transferred to the Ex-
traordinary Term OF the Supreme Court

COKE VENDER CONVICTED
Caught After He Had Caused
Indictment OF Another.

John Callinan, a victim Of the cocaine
habit, who vas instrumental In obtaining
evidence of cocaine selling against DR..
Abraham A. Levy, was convicted OF IN
attempt to sell cocaine yesterday before
Judge O'SullNan In General Sessions. He
was remande1 until Monday for sentence.
Judge Osullkan said that he hoped the
law would sson be amended 30 that
users OF the drug could be dealt with
properly.
II regret" said Judge O'Sullivan. that
the law at present Is not framed so that
we can suitably punish such men as you
and at the same time protect the people
Of the state I trust that the law will
soon be amended"
Callinan was arrested on September q
last In billiard room at No. 1853 Second
avenue with four other men. Opium and
cocaine were found on the prisoners and
in their search for more of the drugs the
detectives who made the raid ripped off
the Dashboard Beneath II they found
two revolvers, I sandbag. a stiletto and
more opium.
Callinan was convicted OF the same Of
fence In 1910 and sentenced to four months
In the penitentiary. In June, 1912, he was
again arrested for having cocaine in his
possession. He told James A. Delehanty,
an Assistant District Attorney. at that
time that he was not coke fend" and
that he would break himself OF the habit.
He also offered to give what help he
might toward the arrest and conviction
Of cocaine sellers.
With Detective Ditsch. Of Police Head
quarters. and inspectors from the Board
of Health, he called on DR.. Abraham A.
Levy and, 1t In alleged. bought q guam
tity OF cocaine from DR.. Levy without q
prescription and gave him marked bills
in payment therefor. DR.. Levy ,s now
under Indictment and his case IS con-
sidered by the District Attorney to be
the strongest that has been prepared
against vender Of cocaine since the law
was amended.

up. Manning Sues After DISH
Throwing Episode at Hotel.
BOVINE D0DGES CHINA
Husband of Woman Who Fled
with Jordan L. Mott, Sd,
Was Made Target.

Papers in a suit for absolute divorce
have been filed by John Pearce Manning,
a broker. living in Flushing, against
| Adele Taylor Manning. daughter OF John
II. Taylor. OF the hotel firm OF william
Taylor & Sons. IL was only q few months
ago that Manning walked into the Mar
Unique. and finding his wife with Walter
Bovine, whose own actress wife left him
In May to go to China with Jordan Law
renee Mott. Sd. promptly threw china
dish at Bovine. The action is brought on
statutory grounds. but the correspondent is
not named.
, For some time. there has been friction
I'm the Manning household, and IL was
stated three or four weeks ago that a
separation had taken place, although no
legal steps had been taken. Friends of
the Mannings hoped to reconcile them.
Mrs Manning is thirty-one years old,
her husband four years older. They were
married Ave years ago, and have a son
about two years old
The trouble evidently came to a head
with the incident at the Martinique. Man
ming walked into the grillroom and found
his wife with Bovine This was only a
short time after Frances Hewitt and Jor-
dan Mott left the city on the frelghter
Indradeo for the Orient. 10 be followed in
hot haste by Hector Fuller, a war corre-
spondent. who, as told In the papers of a
day or so ago. could do nothing to break
the bond between the scion OF the IRON
master and the erstwhlc Mrs. Bovine
Everybody felt sorry for Bovine after hts
wife deserted him. he was a figure OF
pity to many.
This sympathy for the man. however.
did not linger in Manning's heart. He
pitched the dish with the fadeaway of a
Mathewson. Bovine started up and wait
ers separated the two. Manning was ar
rested and fined $40 in night court under
the name OF John Mason. Mrs. Manning
said she had been in the hotel to tele-
phone. Charles Leigh Taylor, who man
ages the Martinique for William Taylor &
Sons. Is her uncle. Her wealthy father is
the son OF the original william Taylor
who once owned the st. Denis In its
famous days She was one OF the most
popular society women of the Flushing
section.
Notoriety at the time OF the fracas was
avoided both by the principals and the
management Of the hotel. but the papers
filed yesterday before Justice Jaycox in
the Supreme Court at Long Island City
are evidence that the Mannings were at
odds even then.

The same idea was expounded by Dr.

however. and emphasized the need Of a
FEDERAL law to keep an accurate record OF
all the cocaine manufactured in this coun'

Cocaine was a national. not local. dan
ger, Dr. Vile pointed out, and II was
comparatively useless TO attack its dis

were some effective means OF preventing
it from coming In from other states. He
recalled how the trsfflc in nostrums.
largely responsible for the spread OF the
cocaine habit. had been crrtailed efficient
ly by the national pure drug law, and said
that IL China could throw off the hold
which opium had on its people by ma
tional legislation. there was no reason
why the United States should not throw
off the yoke OF the cocaine habit by the
same means.
DR.. Wile's plan was TO have every tran
r. of the drug. from manufacturer to re-
taller duly registered with some federal
authority and at the end OF the year
have a general balancing OF all sales to
make sure that there was no suspicious
loss or gain in the distribution In this
way, he felt sure, any inordinate buying
by a single house. either from one or
from a number OF wholesalers, could be
looked into and properly prosecuted IL It
violated the law.
such a system remarked DR.. Vile,
while II might represent a considerable
outlay for the first few years. would be
an inestimable saving to the nation In the
long run. The cocaine habit is not an
evil apart. II Is an adjunct to prosttu-
