when the prosecutor informed him he
was not immune from criminal ac-
ton. He exclaimed:
Il recognize that the Government

me in this matter. 1 was very much

GERMAN-AMERICANS SAY
PRESIDENT ISN'T LIBERAL

A report in which President Wilson
was charged with not being liberal
was read at a meeting of the Ger
in the William Street Turn Hall yes
terday by George Grimme, president
of the organization. Mr.. Grimme
blamed the President for the excise
situation in Atlantic City.
The speaker said he had anticipated
that when he warned the German
American State Alliance to find out
Wilson's attitude by sounding him.
A committee, of which Mr.. Grimme
was member, was appointed for this
purpose, but it never succeeded, ac-
cording to Mr. Grimme, in obtaining
any clear statement of Mr.. Wilson,
views. Although the Alliance was
satisfied, Mr.. Grimme had apprehen-
sions, which, he asserts. are justified
by the state of affairs in Atlantic
City where the strict administration
of the excise law has, he claims,
brought ruin to all business.
Political activity and a coalition
with the Irish-American voters was
advised by Mr.. Grimme in his report.
The association, he said, should
strive to become political power
in this State by supporting one party
or another and participating in the
choice of candidates. In connection
with this recommendation, he sug-
gested a meeting to be held this
August. Mr.. Grimme urged the asso-
citation to learn a lesson from the
Irish in connection with political
activity.

COLLECTS MORE SAMPLES
OF BITULITHIC PAVEMENT
CiIlen Finds Proof of Neglect of
Specifications.

With pick and spade and several
employees of the Board of Works in
his wake, Commissioner Charles P.
Gillen this afternoon started out to
collect more samples of the bitulithic
pavements as they are laid in this
city.
On Saturday Mr.. Gillen visited five
streets in which this pavement has
been laid within the last year, and in
every one, with one exception, he
asserts the specifications were not
.obeyed. In several instances the TOP
covering of bitulithic was found to be
two inches, instead of two and a half
inches, while the concrete foundation
was only four and five inches thick,
instead of six inches, as prescribed.
With the evidence in hand, Mr.,
Gillen declared today that he would
insist upon the Board of Works max
ing a thorough investigation of the
entire matter From the first of the
year, when he took office, Mr.. Gillen
has opposed this patented pavement
asserting that it was too expensive to
maintain after its guarantee had ex-
PRED, and also because he insisted
that it was not a proper pavement
With his samples of pavement in
hand as evidence. Mr. Gillen feels
confident that he will be able to show
that it is even more expensive than
he has charged.
Mr. Gillen intimated, also, that he
might be ready this week to apply to
the courts for an Injunction restrain
ing the city from making the final
awards on six bitulithic contracts
which have already been tentatively
given out.
