WALSH TELLS
GRAFT STORY
Witness Against Four Former
New York Police inspectors
HANDOUTS ON PRISONERS
He Evades Pitfalls and Comes Out of
Ordeal with Essentials Of His Story
Intact-Bares Illegal Levy in Har-
iem-Ex-lnspectors Shackled.

New York.-The secrets of the po-
lice graft ring which has mulcted a
half million dollars in tribute from
Harlem in the last five years alone
were ruthlessly exposed by one of
their own agents-former Police Cap
tain Thomas F. Walsh-in the Su-
preme Court.
Suffering from one of the most dan
gerous forms Of heart disease, and so
weak that he had to be supported
after he had ties lifted, he was the sole
witness against his erstwhile superb
ors, inspectors Sweeney, Hussey,
Thompson and Murtha.
Walsh tried to spare himself, but
the opposing lawyers spared no detail
tending to discredit him and belle his
words
He squirmed away from cunningly
dug pitfalls and, on the whole, came
out of contest that men stronger
physically, mentally and morally than
he might well have feared, with his
story substantially unaffected.
He was questioned first by Assistant
District-Attorney John Kirkland Clark.
Then he was taken in hand successive
ly by Francis Wellman, representing
Hussey; John B. Stanchfield, for
Thompson; George Gordon Battle, in
behalf of Sweeney. and finally by A. S.
Gilbert for Murtha
Walsh wove the name of Sweeney
into every charge he uttered. Thomp-
son was pronounced a sharer in the
graft Walsh collected, but not once
did Walsh connect Thompson with
any phase of the plot outlined by the
State.
Murtha, too, Walsh said, had profit
ed by blackmail Ge, the Captain, had
procured; but that was all Walsh had
to say so far as Murtha is concerned.
Walsh accused the inspectors of
raising $4,000 bribe fund to silence
Sipp, and he charged them with shar-
ing in the graft he collected in Har-
lem.
The four former inspectors were far
from calm. Each was smarting under
the humiliation of having been led into
the Appellate Division handcuffed to-
gether, and the disappointment at
COAOuAAC upOA luS ICIuSdl VI lidL court
to sustain the writs of habeas corpus
sued out on the preceding night by
their counsel. They showed plainly
that the dismissal of the writs, which
meant that they would have to remain
prisoners in the Tombs until the close
of the trial, as originally ordered by
Justice Seabury, was heavy load to
bear.

TARIFF RATES
GO THROUGH
House Passes Lumber, Tobacco,
Sugar and Farm Schedules
OPPOSITION GROWS BITTER
Consideration Of Metal Duties Fin
ished-Agricuttural Rates Stir up
Hot Debate-Fisht Over Cattle
Tax-Duty on Sugar.

Washington, D. C.-Four important
tariff schedules, lumber, sugar, tobac-
co and agricultural, were passed by
the House with the Democratic steam
roller working without creak In
every instance. The sugar schedule
providing for free entry in three years
went through with whoop. An
amendment by Representative Mann
to strike out the free sugar clause
was defeated 1856 to SO.
Opposition members were in an ugly
frame of mind. Republicans and Bull
Moose, resentful of the work Of the
Democratic steamroller, continued to
batter at the bill but they were de-
feated at every turn. Their amend
ments were turned down as fast as
they were presented. AS time goes on
the feelings of the Republicans and
Bull Moose are becoming more bitter,
and it required a special rule to put
the bill through in record time in &C
cordance with the ambition of Leader
Underwood.
At the beginning of the session the
House put through a remnant of the
metal schedule left over. The three
other schedules named were passed
just as they were reported.
Members of the opposition fretted
and fumed, but to no purpose. When
the critics of the bill reached a point
in their frenzy where they threatened
to blow up. Leader Underwood put
on pressure and debate on the para
graph under discussion was brought to
a close. Mr.. Underwood had the votes
and that's all there was to it.
The lumber schedule stirred up ex-
element, members from sugar States
were reduced almost to tears over the
sugar schedule, while those from West
ern States became almost riotous
when the rates of the agricultural
schedule were read,
Underwood. the Democratic leader,
at first was liberal in the allowance of
time for debate on the various sched-
ules. He lost patience somewhat later
and insisted on curtailing time for dis
cussion.

JAPANESE CAN
Renew LEASES
CALIFORNIA; Amended Measure
Allows Three-Year Terms
M0DlFIEDACT SATISFACTORY
The Amendment Provides That Land
May Be Leased to Ineligible Aliens
for Periods Not to Exceed Three
Years-Situation Is Relieved.

Sacramento, Cal.-After virtually
deciding two days before to pass an
anti-alien land bill, which, while con-
the United States with Japan, was
yet more drastic than any preceding
measure in barring the Japanese from
owning, leasing or bequeathing land,
Governor Johnson and the majority
leaders in the Legislature receded a
bit from this position and amended
the measure in the Senate so as to
allow ineligible aliens (not named as
such) to lease agricultural property
for a period not exceeding three
years.
The amendment made the bill iden-
teal with the Assembly measure.
This amendment provides that
aliens shall hold leases for only three
years, but it eventually allows them to
hold land as long as they please, since
there is nothing in it against renewal
to another Japanese tenant.
This was done in Difference to the
large companies which have leased
lands to Japanese.
Japan is expected to be pleased
and the United States Government,
represented here by it's Secretary of
State, William J. Bryan, satisfied with
the unexpected turn in the alien legis-
lation.
The decision to amend the bill was
reached at a conference held between
Governor Johnson, Attorney General
Webb and Senator Boynton, floor
leader.
Secretary Bryan sat almost all day
in Lieutenant Governor Wallace's Of
flee, just across the hall from the Sen.
ate, and was kept informed Of all that
went on in both houses.
There was long debate in the Sen
ate over the amendment. Boynton,
who introduced it, was asked just
what the three year lease meant-if it
was for only three years or if it could
be renewed at the end of such period.
To this Boynton said the lease could
run only three years to one Japanese,
but the land might be released by
the owner at the end of that time to
another Japanese.

WILSON ON STUMP IN JERSEY.

Pleads for Jury Reform.

Pleads for Jury Reform.
Newark, N. J.-President Wilson re.
turned to New Jersey to speak in sup
port of proposition to- reform the
system of drawing grand and petit
jurors which is to be considered at a
special session of the Legislature. He
spoke to large audiences in Newark
and Elizabeth, and denounced what
he called the influences that are seek
ing to thwart the reform in scathing
language. The Presidents remarks
were not confined to the jury reform
measure as such. He did not, as it
was expected he would, declare speci-
fically either for jury commission
named by the presiding Supreme
Court Justice or for one named by the
Governor. He said that he was orig
inally in favor of the first scheme, and
that he still thought it best, but ex-
planned how he had yielded his judg-
ment in the conference of Democratic
Legislators to those who favored COM
missi toner's named by the Governor.

Flower Of Her Army Rushed to
Montenegrin Frontier
KING NICHOLAS Is Defiant
London Convinced There Will Be War
Despite Attitude Of Powers-Ger-
many Is Reported as Willing

London.-A sensation was created in
the European capitals by the report
that Austria-Hungary had officially an
nounced her intention of taking imme-
date independent action against Mon
tenegro.
1t is recognized that, once hostilities
are begun, it will be difficult to see
where they are going to end.
Already Germany has decided to
support her ally, Austria, to the bitter
end, although she first will do her ut
most to avert hostilities. Italy also
is expected to join Austria.
Austria's military preparations are
assuming huge proportions. Emperor
Franz Josef held repeated conferences
with his ministers and military chiefs.
The Alpine troops from Tyrol are
being rushed to the Montenegro from
tier. All railroads southwark have
been Communicated for military pur-
poses. Civil inhabitants of Cattaro, an
Austrian port dominated by the Monte
negrin fortress Lovchen, have been Or
dered to leave Immediately.
Montenegro, meanwhile, is making
the most complete preparations to re-
sist an attack. She will have the sup
port of Servia the instant the Austri-
ans march across the frontier.
Heavy selling of stocks in London on
Continental account followed the re-
port Of the decision of Austria to take
the Scutari matter into her own hands.
There were heavy declines in Wen
ma, Paris and Berlin. In London the
storm subsidized before the end of the
session, and there was some recovery.
Cettinje, neutrality-suspicious. Prince
Danilo of Montenegro was received

MUST DEAL WITH UNIONS.
SO Rules Massachusetts Judge in Suit
Against EMPLOYERS.

Boston. - In negotiations between
striking employees and employers to
adjust their differences, the former
have right legally to insist on their
union being recognized. Such was the
ruling of Judge Loring of the Supreme
Court in the action of John Cornellier
against the Haverhill Shoe Manufac.
turers' Association. The Judge held
that as it was lawful for employees to
associate themselves with a union to
benefit their conditions, it was their
right to have the union present their
demands to employers.
