u. S. AT ALDERMEN'S BAR
Official Tells Board Mail Trucks
Nav Speed Legally.

The United States appeared before the
Board Of Aldermen yesterday for the nrst
time to defend its rights to ieue'a'

fore a special committee Of the board TO
consider amending an ordinance that exS
empts the mail trucks from the speed reg

Second Assistant Postmaster General

warranted Furthermore. ne said th''
the city streets were post roads ana tha'
tho trucks must travel on schedules TO

regulated no said so that they cannot
develop speed of more than fifteen miles
an hour.
Chairman Ralph Folks of the committee
said that the volume OF mail has IN
creased Il per cent since last ChristhHs'
He was inclined to the belief that the
r,ou dr,vers were forced TO exceed the
speed limit by the penalties imposed upon
the contractors II the schedules were not
fulfilled. Chief Magistrate McAdoo sald
that in o. per cent of the cases brought
before the magistrates a speed OF from

CHARMS LION WITH SONG
Opera Star Fears Colds More
than the King of Beasts.

Operatic prima donras are generally
understood to be afraid Of nothing-eX-
cept colds and certain impresarios. They
may, indeed, be afraid Of Hyrcanian
tigers but one. at least-Miss Emmy
Destinn. Of the Metropolitan opera Com
pany-has proved that she is not afraid
Of lions The photograph shows her In
the lions cage in Berlin. where she re-
Gently sang for the moving pictures In
the photo-drama, 'Lowenbraut"
Miss Destinn. Of course. is very fond OF
music. and II is evident from its position
that her latest pet. his majesty the lion,
is fond Of 1t, too.
Miss Destinn appears, indeed. TO he a
sort OF female Orpheus, who charms the
beasts with her voice instead Of with a
Lutte. The famous soprano said after
stepping from the cage that she found
her huge friend as docle az an Angora
kitten and that she was seriously consid-
ering buying him as a protection against
the dangers Of New York streets She said
that IT would be very comfortable to feel
that the lion was awaiting her on the
front seat Of her automobile whenever she
sang at the Metropolitan. She thought he
might impress the traffic policemen. so
that she could get back TO her hotel
without any of the usual delays.
At any rate. her experience Of singing
in a lions cage convinced her that the
king Of beasts was a much more appre-
ciative listener than were some audiences
she had appeared before. Leo's express
sion OF complete felicity surely confirms
her In this opinioni

season.

tion TO set aside the verdict. Justice
Pendleton asked for briefs. and he will
hear further argument on the motion.

WATERLOO OF PARK WAGS
Eight Who Found Joy in Soaring
Children Are Sent to Cells.

Eight young men who have been hold
ing high carnival in Bronx Park for
several months. frightening children
and nurses, pursuing lovelorn couples
and performing other antics at the ex-
pense of visitors to the Geological Gar
den, played the game once too often
yesterday afternoon. All were rounded
up and escorted to cells In the Bronx
Park station
The eight wags were at their favorite
pastime when Detectives Mullen and
Droleskey and Special Patrolmen Van
Den Schoten appeared and made sally
on the jokers. There was no resistance
and the eight were bundled in a patrol
wagon TO the station house, where they
made the evening hideous with ballads
and stale Jokes.

SPIRITS CAN CURE,
SAYS DIR. HYSL0P
Thinks "Discarnate Souls" Can
Do Much When Disease Has
Weakened the Body.

Or. James H. Hyslop. writing on Spir-
final Healing in the November issue Of
the Journal Of the American Society FOR
Psvchical Research. takes the broad
ground that the use OF the word 'sugges-
ton" as a therapeutic agent IS merely
a confession Of ignorance, and that moral
perversions. as well as mental cures, are
al times associated with the Intervention II
OF spirits. This invention, he says, -
sometimes malicious and sometimes be
nevolent. bu: science, hopelessly bound

&C. B. S." POSTCARD,
STOVER CASE JOKE
Park Employe Thought 1t from
Missing Man Till a Small
Boy Snickered.

When one of the prettiest stenogra-
piers in the Park Department offices re-
ceived a picture postcard yesterday
signed &C r. s." there was great eX
citement. The letters IS 0 S" never
contained more thrill for a mariner
than did &C. b. S" signed to the post
card have for the Park Department en-
poyes. And the reason therefor was that
&C. b. S" are the initials of Charles B.
Stover, the missing Park Commissioner.
Additional writing on the missive con-
tanned the information that &C. B. s.
was having good time and sent his
best regards. The recipient called sew
eral of her sisters into consultation.
The executive session was not attended
by any one but women. Some nervous
giggling was heard now and then.
But there seemed TO be undue famil-
iarity with the contents of the postcard
by the office boys. They also found 1t
hard TO restrain their curiosity and
scurried about enjoying the effect of
the supposed communication from the
Park Commissioner.
Just about the time the signature be-
gan 10 appear pHbilN bII' VI INC idNo

Give Whitman Evidence OF
Police Alliance with
Bold SWindlerS.
SEVERAL VICTIMS
OF CLAIRVOYANTS
Dougherty Statement Fails to
Impress District Attorney
After Cold Analysis.

A fund OF new information on the oper-
alton Of the alleged wiretapper-police
graft ring was placed in District Attor-
ney Whitman's hands yesterday by a
number of women witnesses who have
been victims Of the easy money men, and
have never been able to get satisfaction
from the police in their efforts TO have
their deceivers prosecuted.
They belonged to the class of victims
who lost small amounts ranging from a
few hundred dollars up to thousand
chiefly on "phoney" stock ventures,
which they were persuaded TO go into
through the advice of the clairvoyants
operating in "cahoots" with the conf
dence men.
According to the stories they told to
Frederick Groehl the Assistant District
Attorney assigned by Mr.. Whitman 10
investigate the graft charges when they
went to the police with their troubles,
they were either advised to avoid pub
ncity by keeping still. or else, through
the police settled with their defrauders
for a small portion of their losses.
At that time. they said. they were con-
WINGED that the police had acted in good
faith, but since the present exposures
were made public they had become con-
vinced that the police were acting IN
league with the confidence men.
Women Aid Case.
Mr. Whitman said yesterday the i'm
rortance of this new line Of evidence was
in the fact that the witnesses were IN no
way accomplices in the graft Corrooo-
ration from persons who were not them
selves involved in the alleged crimes, he
said, was all that was needed 10 complete
the cases against the suspected men. A
complete analysis Of the evidence given
Yesterday had not been made, but IT was
thought il would supply the needed ele-
ments in the case.
Mr. Groehl was also busy Yesterday in
vestigating the activities Of the wire tap
rers prior to the Rosenthal case. Ac-
oording TO the story told by George McRae
and "Al" Cohen, the former detective, who
revealed the activities of the graft ring,
the business" was going on smoothly up
to that time and the protection paid for
was delivered without fear.
When the Rosenthal exposures came
however, and attention was directed TO
the crookedness Of the police, they became
frightened and began making arrests to
save their faces.
1t was thus sudden activity on the part
Of the police that the gamblers objected
10. as they were forced TO continue paying
their tribute without getting the promised
protection. Convinced that the police
were double crossing them. they decided 10

Douaherty's List AnaIyzed.

II was pointed out that the long list of
arrests mentioned by Commissioner
Dougherty in his statement of Thursday
were all made subsequent to the Rosen-
thai exposures.
IF there were arrests of wire tappers
prior to that time" said Mr. Whitman,
mo tangible evidence of them has ever
reached this Office"
II was also pointed out that, although
the Dougherty statement contained an
imposing array Of arrests. none of them
TO date has resulted in any convictions.
IT was said yesterday that the list made
public was far from a complete history
OF wire tapping. as there were records in
HEADQUARTERS of numerous other COM
plants in which no arrests were made.
An effort to get a full statement of these
cases yesterday at Headquarters was un-
successful.
II was learned yesterday that Mr.
Groehi spent Thursday in Philadelphia
working on the investigation. He SAID
his trip was productive Of important in
formation, but refused 10 indicate jus
what line il was on. II was said that h'
saw ''Micky" Shea there, and got from
him information bearing on the clair
voyant end Of the situation.
